FOR

CHAIRMAN

Honor in the Democratic Convention Is Very Much Sought For.

WHAT IS THE HONOR?

POSITION REQUIRES ARDUOUS MENTION AND FEW MEN CAN KEEP THIS POSITION THROUGHOUT THE SESSIONS.

Denver, CoK, April HiWho will be chairman of the Democratic national convention? The sound of the gravel will not be heard until .July 7th, but already the candidates for the honor of wielding the heavy hammer that raps the convention to order are appearing on the scene. The members of the national committee live in daily dread that more candidates will be added to those already in the race, and their lives may be made miserable accordingly. It is the duty of the members of the national committee to choose the temporary chairman and after the permanent organization is effected, the permanent chairman is elected by the delegates. For the temporary office there is a host of candidates and for the place of permanent chairman there are still more numerous aspirants. Several prominent Democrats have already secured headquarters in Denver ami will make campaigns for the office of temporary and permanent chairman with as great zeal as is manifested by the men who want to run for president, and vice president. It is not likely that there v ill be a repetition of the scene at tli ' I). :nocrntic national convention at Chicago In 1906 when the will of the national committee was upset by the delegates who insisted upon choosing their own temporary presiding officer. On that occasion, David 15. Hill of New York was chosen by the members of the national committee to be temporary chairman but the delegates overturned the choice and placed Senator J. "W. Daniel of Virginia in the chair. Upon the permanent organization Stephen M. White of California had the place of permanent chairman and the single Incident. In Democratic history when the "delegates overturned the decision of the national committee was at an end. While there has not been a hint of another occurrence such as this, it. is generally agreed that, the precedent admits of anyone who has the hustling ability and inclination to use it going before the national committee and claiming a hearing as to his qualifications for the. office. The bars have been thrown down for active pol

iticians to go in and win by whatever means they can muster. Just what honor accrues to the man who presides over the convention is hard to say. It is seldom a chairman Is physically able to occupy the chair all through the sessions of the great gathering. (Generally he is worn out by the constant attention he must give to the convention and is relieved occasionally by other prominent party members who are experienced in the rules that control nominating conventions. The temporary chairman has a task of less difficulty and generally occupies his position during the brief term of his activities, whili the committees on credentials, platform and permanent' organization are being appointed. The spice and variety that, exists in a campaign for chairman is given by

the actual presence of the contestants In the convention city. When a man Is a candidate for the office of chairman of the convention he has to be ready to take tip his burden as soon as elected. In this he differs from the candidate for president or vice president. The men who are candidates for these honors will probably not come within a thousand miles of Denver while the convention is in session. W. J. Bryan will be at his home In Lincoln, Nebraska; Judge George Gray will remain in Wilmington, Delaware; Lieut. Gov. Stuyvesant Chanler will be in the lieutenant governor's room at the state hovase in Albany, New York, and Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota will be in the executive chambers in the capitol 'building in St. Faul. Should David K. Francis of Missouri decide to enter the lists, as lie may, he will sit in his St. Louis offices and wait for the tidings from the scene of action.

SIT MERHT WIDOW Hunter Aims at Hat Decorations and Nearly Kills Woman.

100 SHOT IN HER BODY.

New York, May '.. A hunter in the Kdenwald woods in the. northern part of The Bronx, yesterday aimed at some birds in Mrs. Mary Sassen's merry widow, but missed it ami sent, a load of shot into the woman's breast. Mrs. .Sassen, who lives at No. ''."' South Eighth avenue, Mount Vernon, entered the woods early in the afternoon to pick flowers. She wore a rather squat, brown hat, trimmed with two brown birds and some foliage. In the woods, which are not thickly grown, the hat. looked for all the world like a big nest of birds. The woman was bending over and placing flowers in a basket, when a loud shot, rang out. Birdshot rattled through the underbrush and a large lot of it struck Mrs. Sassen full in the breast. She fell screaming and heard some one run through the woods. In great, pain the woman made her way to the Wakefield police station. As she emerged from the woods she saw a man disappearing toward Mount Vernon, carrying a shotgun. She was sent to the Mount Vernon hospital where it was said her injuries were not serious. More than 11 lO leaden pellets were extracted. None of them penetrated deeper than the skin. The police judge from this that the hunter must have been quite a distance away when he fired at the stuffed birds. Hunters

have been shooting robins in the Edenwald woods for weeks past

CEMENT VS. STEEL.

Paris, May 10. Cement may take the place of steel plates as armor on French battleships in the near future, as exhaustive experiments have shown that a certain cement of French invention, the formula of which is kept secret, shows a remarkable resistance to shells fired from the heaviest naval guns. It is stated, however that the weight of the cement armor on a vessel would be much less than the steel plates now in use.

Marydel, Del.. May Married for years, but never blessed with children.

! although they longed for them, Mr. j and Mrs. Henry Ritchey found a four- ! days-old baby in a basket at their front j door on March 1. They gladly took in the waif and under their loving care ! the infant thrived and was loved by its i fostir parents. This week a stranger called at. the ! house and informed the Ritcheys that I the babe had been left there last month by mistake and its mother would be j down on the evening train and he de

manded its surrender to him. His carriage was in waiting. "Xot on your life," said Ritchey and then both he and his wife were "covered" with a revolver. Jumping directly in front of the weapon, the husband told his wife to take the baby to

a neighbor's and when the man turned ! his weapon toward the fleeing pair, ! Ritchey plunged into him and the two fought like mad. The stranger manj aged to break loose and ran to the : neighbor's making a similar demand, I but outside a bolted door. Then he I gave it up. I The Caroline court being in session.

the matter was presented to the grand jury and indictments were found, but the man had disappeared. The baby is carefully guarded at the Ritcheys, who will lay positive claim to the infant through the foster-child law.

N'ew York, May 16. An unusual United States postage stamp has just found its way into the collection of George II. Worthington of Cleveland, at a price which, while the exact fig.lires have not been made public, is acknowledged to be about $4,000. The stamp is a postmaster's provisional, issued in Alexandria, Va., in 1S47, and is printed on blue paper. Three or four copies of the same stamp printed on buff paper were previously known, but this specimen is the only one on

j blue which has been discovered.

The stamp was on an old letter in the possession of Mrs. M. Fawcett, an old resident of Alexandria and has been preserved on account of family associations.

Nott the Heart Most heart pains come from gas in the stomach, due to indigestion. They end at once when Kodol digests the food. There is no other way, for nothing else can digest all foods. Please note our guarantee.

We guarantee the action of Kodol. Please note the offer below. We claim that Kodol does all that a healthy stomach can do. That it digests any food, at once and completely. Please prove this at our risk. Eat what you need of the food that you want, and note how Kodol acts. Note the absence of pain, of fermentation, of gas. Don't doubt facts that mean a great deal to you, when they are easily proved.

STEAMSHIP SERVICE BETWEEN COUNTRIES

Treaty Locks Canada and France Together.

Euphrasia: Tu cu t fill with Grt4 Idal Flour.

Ottawa. May lrt. The Canadian parliament has arinntpd a resolution in

j favor of a direct steamship service be

tween Canada and France, which it is stated became necessary on account of the new reciprocity treaty between the two oouatri .

There are many ways to digest part of the food, but Kodol alone digests all of it. Pepsin digests albumen, but not starch or fat So the many digesters depending almost solely on pepsin are only partial helps. A complete digester must be a liquid, for some of the needed elements can't be given dry. They must be preserved in glass. That is why Kodol is liquid, like the digestive juices. The result is, its action is instant. It even begins in the mouth, by starting the flow of saliva.

The cure of indigestion requires, above all, that you relieve the stomach. Tonics and stimulants only spur It to action, like whipping a tired horse. Weak organs never gain strength by forcing. But digestion is necessary, else the food growB hard and irritates the stomacb lining. It ferments, and forms gas. and breeds germs. It decays, and loads the blood with poisons. And all the food that fails to digest fails to nourish you. Your digestive powers are bound to grow weaker so long as those conditions continue.

A weak stomach must have rest. Treat it like a lame ankle. Don't tax it. Don't allow undigested food to disturb it. Let Kodol, for a little time, do the stomach's work. Then note how quickly nature cures, when it has the chance.

Some people try to relieve the stomach by diet ing. but that means partial starvation. The body requires variety in food, and when you limit that variety you are robbing some part. That isn't the way to gain strength. A person who suffers from indigestion needs nourishment. Need3 it more than a well person. The right way is to eat the food you need, thea let Kodol digest it. Please don't judge Kodol by any other form of digester. In Kodol alone are all the needed elements brought into combination. Nothing nls9 does all that the healthy stomach will do. Noth ing else brings complete relief. Our Guarantee The power of Kodol is easy to prove. Buy large bottle, and ask for the signed guarantee. If it does all we claim, think what It means to you. If it doesn't, take the empty bottle back with th warrant, and your druggist will -turn your money. This offer applies to the large bottle only. anl to but one in a family. That is enough to prore. Then pleace tell your friends what a help yo have found. Kodol is prepared at the laboratories of E. C DeWitt & Co., Chicago. The $1.00 bottle contain 2 times as much, ti 5Cc bottle,
