WATSON .DEFEATS THE THSURGEHTS . " By His Efforts, House Organisation Is Saved at Critical Juncture-

ARRIVED JUST IN TIME. DEMONSTRATION OF TUESDAY WAS FOR TEST OF STRENGTH AND MEASURE AIMED AT SPEAKER WAS CONSIDERED. "Washington, Dec. 16. Representa tiye Watson, whip of the House, took charge of the republican forces in the house Tuesday just in the nick of time tor it was only by the hardest effort on bis part that he was able to muster enough strength to prevent the house '"insurgents" from winning a notable victory. The insurgents, led by Congressman Gardner of Massachusetts and aided by the democratic members, carried through a resolution aimed at the .speaker and the committee on rules by ti vote of 14C, to 134. The house leaders, from Speaker Cannon down, were badly scared by this unexpected rebellious display, and Watson was called upon 10 take charge of the field forces of the regulars. The ' organization on the second vote won with only thirteen votes of a majority. The insurgents undoubtedly wanted a test of strength and they got it. Many of them professed to believe that the demonstration will have an excellent effect upon the house organization and leaders and make the big five and other powers in the lower branch of the National Legislature that have been Intolerant of criticism more willing to listen to suggestions with respect to certain changes in the rules. Common Sense And A Tablet Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stomach Trouble and Make Meals . A Pleasure. When your . stomach goes on a strike and mass meetings of indignation are held all over your body, then it Is that you should sit up and take Notice. It la clearly and only a question of common sense is this thing called Dyspepsia. Take away, by abuse, over eating, excesses and high living, the things which the stomach needs and 7on have dyspepsia and Indigestion ; ( then other maladies follow these this la common sense. The stomach is willing enough but you won't let it do its work; ' You take away the materials which are so nee essary for It to use' Give back these materials and dys pepsla and indigestion flee and the "whole machinery of man begins slow ly to move and do its work. What the stomach needs is nerve force, fluids for its digestive glands. Nourishment and power. All these necessities it takes from the blood. If dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood, the blood gives nothing to the stom aoh. This Is common sense also, pure simply and unalloyed. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are common sense pressed by high power Into tablets. In these tablets are powerful essences which go into the stomach, digest food, stop gas making, prevent decaying of food, enrich, the gastric juices, are absorbed by the blood and thus give it strength to furnish a better fluid for digesting the text meal. Every physician knows what comprises these tablets; every druggist has the same knowledge al o. They are natural common sense digesters which, do the work for the ftomach quickly and well. Every drug store carries them, 50c per package. Send us your name and ad dress and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address F. A. gtuart Co., 150 Stuart Bldg., Marshall Mich.

THE THEATER THEATRICAL CALENDAR. GENNETT. A Knight for a Day" Dec. 17. Partello Stock Co. Next week. The Devil Jan. 1. NEW PHILLIPS. Vaudeville all week. A Knight for a Day The attraction at the Gennett Thurs day, December 17, will be "A Knight for a Day," a girly gaiety, that has enjoyed unprecedented popularity in other cities. M isa May Yokes, heads & cast of about seventy engaged in the presentation. Contrary to the suggestion possibly imparted by its title, "A Knight for a Day" has nothing to do with interests medieval. Rather, it is a lively humor of today. The knight of the story isn't a knight, but a wait er posing as a nobleman. Serving a modern knight one day and failing to be tipped, the watier tips himself to the knight's credentials and goes a treasure troving for twenty-four hours. But it is In unexpected adventures and misadventures that the laughs of the conceit are evoked. Many incidents of the piece have become bywords. Two of these, one an elopement down a ladder from the seminary dormitory of the false knight and his chorus lady sweetheart, the other a well scene, involving the intoxication of the "ser vant landy" by a champagne-charged cistern, have brought international repute to their principals. The Devil. The bogus and counterfeit "Devils" preying on the success of Mj Henry W. Savage'3 original production of the sensational comedy success, include an old time melodrama produced originally about fifty years ago, which has been slightly altered and is now offered by cheap repertoire companies either as the actual Melnar play or under such circumstances as to deceive the public into the belief that it is practically the same. - "The Devil" will appear at the Gennett theater Jan. 1. Partello Stock Company. The Partello Stock company will play a return engagement at the Gennett theater Christmas week, opening Monday night in the great comedy drama. "A Daughter of the People," first time here. This company needs no introduction to Richmond theater goers as they have-proven by their previous engagement that it is an organization of merit. Dally matinees will be given commencing Tuesday. Ten cents to everyone, evcept Christmas Day, to any part of the theater. Knollenberg's Store from this evening until Christmas will be open until 9:30 o'clock. Look for the Star.

METROPOLITAN

LAW'S REPEAL Matter Will Be Among First Things Considered by Legislature. MAYORS HOLD MEETING. ADVOCATE AMENDMENT TO LAW WHICH PREVENTS MAYORS FROM BEING RE-ELECTED SEN TIMENT OF CITY EXECUTIVES. Special to Palladium. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 30. One of the very first things that Is going to happen when the legislature opens up for business next month, i? the introduction of a bill to repeal the metropolitan police law. About the next thing will be the introduction of a bill to change the cities and towns law so as to permit mayors and other city officials to be reelected. Then there will be other important amendments of the cities and towns law asked by the mayors, who met here yesterday afternoon and laid their plans for the legislative campaign. Major Fogarty of South Bend, was one of the leaders in the movement for the amendment that would allow a mayor to be re-elected. He said in en interview that he was in favor of such a change in the law, not, because he wished to be re-elected himself, but because he believed such an amndment was right. H did not "say that he would not be a candidate, however. The meeting of mayors was called by Mayor Becker, of Hammond, chairman of the legislative committee of their organization. He is also in favor of permitting a mayor to succeed himself. He was chairman of the meeting, and in a speech, he said the mayors of all the cities in the state were in favor of maintaining the cities and towns law, but they believed it should be amended to relieve some of the cities of the third and fourth class from the expensive system of city government. Expensive boards are maintained and in sveral cities complaint is made about the expense. But he said that board government has put the city of Hammond on a business ba sis and brought order out of chaos. He believes the people of Hammond wish the law maintained. Mayor Hosey, of Fort Wayne, spoke along the same line. FITCH A RIVAL OF WALTER RATLIFF He Too Will Submit Gravel Road Bill. Walter Ratliff, representative from Wayne county in the state legislature, will not be the only member to "fath er" a bill seeking to repeal the three mile gravel road law. J. Monroe Fitch, a representative from Delaware county has been petitioned to introduce such a bill. He has promised to do so. It is charged by Delaware county tax SPECIALS.
