There were two meals which Mansfield always ate alone breakfast and the light repast of broth and oysters late la the afternoon. An empty stomach attacked his. nerves and set his tamper on edge. In the morning he was In no convenient mood until he had the invariable coffee and bacon. After a somewhat rigid abstinence dozing the balance of the day and evening the fatigue of a performance edged his nerves till his midnight supper, which, with a troop of friends about him, wanned him into the sunniest humor of the day.

LIBERALS WERE DICTATORS III THE CUES

Only Temperance Advocate That Won Out Was Representative King; Chosen Republican Floor Leader. ENEMIES TO OPTION LAW APPEAR QUITE STRONG Kern's Senatorial Candidacy Looks Healthier Since Election of Tom Honan as Speaker of the House. Palladium Bureau Indianapolis, Jan. 8. Little by little the true inwardness of the caucuses that were held by both parties for the selection of officers for tha two houses of the legislature are coming to light, and they show that the liberal element in both parties is not overlooking any bets anywhere along the line. In the first place it was this element that elected Representative Honan speaker of the house and it 1b the same element that proposes to elect the United States senator. It defeated J. Fred Prance of Huntington for the position of as sistant clerk of tho house, also, France was the choice of the element that has, not trained with the Taggart crowd in state politics. William Habermel, of Corydon, came to town a candidate, and nobody had ever heard of him. But he defeated France by one vote, and the talk now is that he came in as the candidate for the liber al element. Mistake in His Vote. A good story is told of this case, however. At the democratic house caucus when Habermel was chosen, Habermel received 30 votes" and France 29. Soon after the caucus adjourned one of France's supporters came to him and told him that a rep resentative who sat next to him In the caucus asked him how to vote for France. He was shown and voted, but afterward he told the man that he had made a mistake . and had voted for Habermel instead. If he had voted as he intended in the first place France would have had SO to Habermel's 29, Of course, this $ only an incident in politics. A Temperance Victory. Bat Representative Gil Elliott, of South Bend, who was a candidate for republican floor leader of 'the house, was defeated by the temperance, ele ment in the party. At least that is what his friends are saying. "It was as plain as could be in the republican house caucus," said One of Elliott's friends, "that the members from the smaller counties had their minds made up to defeat any candidate from a large county pr a county in which there is a large city and which would probably vote wet at a local option election. Now everybody knows that if a local option election were held In St. Joseph county the wets would win, so these fellows decided to defeat Elliott. Representative Bon'l Blame t VYour- Stomaeh When WTtnout Exertion Or Cost You Can Enjoy Meals And Cure Dyspepsia. Don't blame your stomach or your luck when your meals declare war on your system. When the stomach won't do its work It is because it cannot. When foul smelling odors come from your stomach, when the head aches and the sourness of mouth every morning makes you hate your breakfast, when dreams and nightmare .assail you, don't give up the fight This is the a;peal of nature, and it should be heard. Over-eating, late suppers, poorly chewed food, too rich pastries and un der-done cooking are some of the cans es of the stomach's ill health. When the stomach 13 busy, it presses and churns all the liquid matter from food and with its juices dissolves into liquid form or pulp everything which comes into it. If such food be poisonous it effects the juices, attacks the stomach, goes into the blood and weakens the entire system. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di gest a full meal easily without mater ial assistance from the stomach. They will restock the gastric fluid with all the elements needed. They build up the blood, destroy sour taste, bad breath, belching, stomach and bowel trouble and quickly restore natural conditions. One grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets will digest 3,000 grains of food in the stomach or in a glass vial without aid of the human digestive apparatus. The method of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the methods of Nature. ' They contain every requisite for the stomach and digestion. After a meal one of these little tablets when it enters the stomach mingles with the juices, attacks the food and digests it It removes the fermented and decayed mass, lying stagnant -there and eases the stomach at once. It. is wholly a question for you to solve. Your druggist will furnish Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets 50c the hsw, or send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package free. Address F.

King, of Wabash, is a strong man in the house and a very able representative, but he has always trained with the Hanly crowd and has supported everything that the governor proposed. He was a strong advocate of the

bounty local option law. The repre sentatives of the smaller counties and the new republican , members elected from the smaller counties appeared to think that It would be better to elect a floor leader from among their num ber, because a floor leader from one of the big counties might not put up as stiff a fight to maintain the coun ty option law as would one of their number. That was why Elliott was defeated. I would not be at all sur prised now to see Elliott favor the repeal of the county option law. I know bis county wishes it repealed and 1 believe he will take that stand." Elliott refuses to discuss the ques tion when he was asked about it, but It is known that he feels that he was defeated by the means mentioned. Temperance War Sure. If this is true, then it looks like there will be a decided line up of the wets against the drys in this session of the legislature. It shows, too that the wets control the democratic side of the legislature while the drya are probably in control of the republican side. But It is said that there is a number of republicans who will vote to repeal the law, among them being representative Ratliff, of Richmond. The senatorial situation looked bet ter for Kern yesterday and last night than it has, at any time previous. It was conceded on all sides that his Chances were brightened considerably through the election of Honan aa speaker by Such a decisive majority, because the same element that was for Honan is for Kern. And this land-. slide for Honan started abo"t the time the train arrived from French Lick with Tom Taggart. Even some of the supporters of other candidates were saying last night that it looked mightily like Kern.. Orte man said. however, that the other candidates could prevent Kern's election by com bining their vote, because they bad more votes than Kern, but he sa-d he was afraid that they could not g2t to gether. And eve"n if they were to try to get together they could nrcbably not swing all their voles to ona can didate. Slack is Smiling. L. Ert Slack, however, was smiling last night in his most encouraging aud encouraged manner. He said things Were looking fine. The fact is that if Kern should happen to lose Slack will win. It seems almost certain that Slack would get most of the votes of the other candidates if there comes a break up that will enable them to change. Therefore, he said ha was happy. , A desperate effort is being made to get Governor-elect Marshall into the senatorial fight but he says 1" simply will not mix in it. He proposes to let them fight it out among themsel ves. He says lie Is not looking for trouble. DO IT OURSELVES IF WANT IT DONE: MOTTO OF S. S. I. A. (Continued From Page One.) assure you that it will be my earn est endeavor to advance the Work of the association." Jesaup Cites Good Work. During the banquet Thomas It. Jessup was called upon by the president. He spoke of the history of that part of the city and how the members of the. organization had been responsi ble for its upbuilding. Also that this part of the town had done more for the city in many respects than any other, assisting materially in securing the municipal light plant, the C. C. & L. railroad, the Interurban lines, the new depots, both passenger and freight, from the Pennsylvania railroad and other improvements and ad. ditions to the city. The speaker stated that while the improvement of the South Side in general was always up permost in the minds of its councilmen that it never was selfish in its stand for improvements for other sections of the city. Gives Cause of Failure. Perry J. Freeman was called upon. He said the organization always succeeded in accomplishing its undertakings when It did the work itself. , The failure to secure the Rahn-Carpenter Tool factory of Cincinnati was due, not to the association, but' to the fact that promoters were employed in the work. Secretary Matt Von Pein was the next one to respond to a toast and ho referred to the factory propositions the organization has before it. The Rahn-Carpenter factory, he said, gif still under consideration but even though unsuccessful in reopening negotiations with these people the club has two other propositions just as good. Merrill Gives Praise. Clifford Merrill, city clerk, "spoke of the improvements achieved by the South Side in the last few years. He proposed that from E street to South Li street on Seventh street be improved. He said if this was done South Seventh street would be one of the best and most beautiful streets in the city. He said after, the completion of South L street the route down South Seventh to L street and thence to Liberty avenue and back to the center of the city would prove one of the most popular driveways in the city. Me also commended the members on the neatness with which their property was kept. South L Street Bridge Wanted. The proposed South L street bridge crossing the Whitewater was consider. ed. This will be one of the improvements the association" will fight for tills year. George . Cotton, a former member of the county council, spoke on this Question. Hans Koll declared himself to be a typical vice president in that he was more ornamental than useful. He urgjd co-operation with. th Commercial

During the evening there ware frequent intermissions and music numbers were rendered by the members of the old Meunenchor, Including Matt Von Pein, H. H. Englebert, Al bert Stauber and others.

RATLIFF TO VOTE FOR REPEAL OF OPTION LAW (Continued on Page Four.) . halls at the present time, but it can truthfully be said that the repeal of the law is certain. This is even conceded by the republicans in the senate, that is by many of them. A substitute for the present statute has not been discussed. It is, however conceded that should the county local option bill be repealed, some sort of temperance legislation will be passed. Roscoe Gets Good 8eat. All f Wayne county's legislative solotis were in their seates when the senate and house roll was called yesterday. Senator Roscoe E. Kirkman, secured the best seat of the three, he being on the front row. - Walter S. Ratliff Is located about the center of the house chamber, while Representative Gardner was given a place in the rear. Congressman W. O. Barnard of New Castle, who will go to Washington, D. C, next Febuary to become acclimated was in Indianapolis a short tome yesterday afternoon. "Just legal business, not politics," said Mr. Barnard when ' questioned as to his mission in the capital. Postmaster Not Considered. He stated that he had not given the matter of appointing a postmaster for Richmond, much consideration and would not, do so until February. Edward F. Warfel, a Richmond newspaper man is one of the number of young men considered by Mr. Barnard for the position as his private secretary. Ralph Barnard, the congressman's son. who is with the C. C. & L. in Richmond, has signified a hankering for the job. As the congressman does not consider the job one of patronage he may give the place to his boy. , ' Will Care for Warfel. . Congressman Barnard stated, however, that Warfel would be cared for. His services in Wayne county during the last campaign as secretary of the Wayne county republican central com mittee, are sure to net him a good gov ernment job. What it wil be Mr. Barnard does not know. Among the Richmond men who have been -in Indianapolis during the past few days circulating among the politicians were Charles E. Shiveley, Fred Krone and . Thomas II. Kuhn. Mr. Shiveley made his appearance in the senate chamber yesterday and watched the opening deliberations. On arriving is Indianapolis Mr. Kuhn struck out for the Denison hotel, the haven of democracy for the next two months, where he stayed some time. Kuhn is mentioned as a dark horse in the senatorial race. Little Girl I should think this building la a very old church. Isn't it. Auntie May?" Aunt Tea, dear very.

Liate in life, when people had begun to realize the genius of the man. Whistler was asked to arrange the annual Liverpool exhibition, and here, in bis own words, is how he did it. according to Helnemann's 'Life of Whistler." "You know, the academy baby by the dozen had been sent in, and I got them all in my gallery, and In the center at one end I r"ed the blrtb of the baby splendid and opposite the baby with the mustard pot and opposite that the baby with the puppy and in the center, on one side, the baby IK, doctor holding its pulse, mother v. ceping; on the other, by the door, the baby dead the baby's funeral baby from the cradle to the grave baby in heaven, babies of all kinds and shapes all along the line; not crowded, yon know, hung with proper respect for the baby. "And on the Tarnishing day in came the artists, each making for his own tr.ty amazing! His baby on the line nothing could be better!

"'Yes, sir. The second groom, sir. He's my Cousin. "Wei!, said I, 'so far there's no harm done, but be careful not to fall, and don't let any one see you.' "All right, mister said the humble voice. "I turned to my audience and smiled and bowed triumphantly. They broke into thunderous applause. They said that they had never listened to ventriloquism so superb. And they were quite right too." London Answers. Rats' Cold Weather Retreat., Many animals snuggle together for warmth In bitter weather, as the squirrels and the rats. Those who go ratting in hedges "and dells In the winter know they may try a dozen freshly used burrows without finding a rat. when suddenly from a single hole the rats will come pouring out In a stream of frenzied fur. Twenty or more rats will lie together in one hole. They are clever enough to block up a hole on the windward side to keep out the draft, so that when a rat hole Is noted newly stopped with soil, turnip leaves or grass here is almost certain indication that rats are within. Like the squirrels, they store food for winter, and the keeper may find It more difficult to secure his potatoes from frost than from the attack of the most numerous of his furred foes.

Squabble Over Y. M. C. A. Forfeit Keeps Up, Both Sides Claiming to Be Right. AGITATION IS TIRESOME. The contention has arisen as to whether o&not the Y. M. C. A. is entitled to a forfeit of $1,C95 from the contractors, Caldwell and Drake of Columbus. It is claimed by the friends of the contractors that the association violated the contract by dedicating the building and occupying it, thereby accepting it. Such action is claimed by a local architect to be understood by contractors as an acceptance of the original contract without the forfeiture clause. The association's attorney in discussing the question stated that if such was the case the association might have stayed out of the building long enough to have made the forfeit amount to sufficient to pay for the - building. The bond fully protects the association in this regard it is stated. SCHOOL IS CLOSED. Illness of Teacierr Miss Bond, Makes Dismissal Necessary.
