The post mortem statistics of tho big New York hospitnU ghow that some cases of consumption are due 'to unchecked dyspepsia, especially whf the victim was predisposed to tuberculosis. Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain, the wiukcacd, irritable stomach unable to digest food, body does not receive tho required nourishment, constipation ensues anj the victim becomes ithin, wc.ik and haggard. As. result, the body becomes fertile field for the 'germj of disease to lodge and flourish. Therefore, the person who permits ydspepsia to progress unhindered is guilty of (contributing toward the development of "one of 4h most insidious and fatal diseases known to mankind.

Dyspepsia is curable if properly treated. The Snodgrass1 Bncy Drug Company sell a remedy Which they positively guarantee wil cure indigestion or dyspepsia or they will pay for 'all the medicine used during the trial. This remedy ig an absolutely new medical discovery and has been amed Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no offer coul be more fair, and the offer of the Snodgrasg Bracy Drug Compauy is proof positive that Rexall DyBpepsta Tablets are a dependable and infallible remedy. Inasmuch as the medicine will cost you nothing jf it docs not benefit you we urge you who are suffering with indigestion or dyspepsia to try this remedy.

twenty-five cent box of Rexoll Dyspepsia Tablets contains enough medicine for fifteen days' treatment.

A small storm hai developed over New Mexico. Tbe movements ot these lows hv been attended by rain or snow over tbe greater part ot -the United States, except the Southeast and ithe region west of tho Borkles. An area ot high pressure of great strength, central over Montana, covers the country from the Rockies to the Mlsslaalppl River, and extends southward admost to ithe Gulf coast It 1 attended by temperatures of 20 to 40 decrees below aero in the Northwest, 6 degrees above sero In Oklahoma, and freezing almost to tbe Texaa coast.

I was not aware that these darts of mine had quivered in "the executive hide and stung him so, but the eagerness intensity with which be has presented (is case against me, his making a precedent when none has existed be fore, bis- taking from the committee to which he has forwarded the papers snd'g'ying'them to -the press before that committee 'had considered them, indicates that Theodore Roosevelt en joys to the limit the feeling of get ting even with Ben Tillman and lays on the "big stick' with the keenest relish, doubtless believing that, the 'pitchfork' has gone out of business." Question of Personal Privilege. In addressing the Senate today, Mr. Tillman roso to a question of personal privilege, declaring, that for the first time in the history of this government, so far as be had been able to learn, a member of the Senate had been brought to the bar of public opinion before the Senate itself, to be judged under indictment by no less a person than the President of the United States. The manner of doing it, he said, anj the animus and zeal displayed by the chief executive were worthy of consideration. Mr.

Tillman called attention to the publication of these charges by the President before they had been considered by the committee of the Senate to which they were referred, and declared that in so doing the President had treated the Senate with "that contempt whnch has been his He declared that the President was an adept at advertising and had; used the press with more skill than 'any 'man in American politics. "Another probable 'reason for his great haste," said the 'South Carolina senator, "was thaf he sought to distract attention from tbcaetion of the House of Representatives on Friday in laying part of his message on the table, by the sensational accusation against a man who has ha long service-in the Senate. "An examination of the President's letter to Mr. Hale, which might just well have been a special message the" type with which we are so familiar," said Mr. Tillman, "will show that the President 's charges, boiled down, amount to two in number.

Tillman Joins Ananias Club. "First, he promotes me to membership in the Ananias Club and charges effect, fhat I have deliberately lied to the Senate. "Second He charges that I have exerted my official Influence and work as a senator for my personal benefit alone, to secure the passage of a reso lution and to press the department of justice to bring suit against the corporation which holds so much of the public domain in the West and will not sell it to settlers under terms of tboir grants irom tbe government. "He has prepared his Indictment with consummate ability and skill. He is even cunning in tne apparently innocent pretense that in rnaklni a search through the secret service for on kind or malefactor be has run down another, ana tne case of that one of such seri ous importance that his sense of offl cial obligation compelled him to prompt action.

Mark you, he ha been in the possession of all the facts in this case since July last- and men will be curious to know why, If his zeal was honest, he did not make them known then." Quoting from the President's mes sage to the House on January 4, In wnica ne saia ne nad no Charges or corruption against Congress, nor against any memlber of the present House, tit. Tillman said: "It follows that he found nn crround forJntilicting ma in the courts, which! no doubt would have reioiced him over mnch, and all this fuss, fury and fus tian about the seriousness of the ease and the gravity of the offense with which he charges me can be attributed to personal malice Unlawful of Secret Service. Referring to the President's letter to Senator Hale Mr, Tillman declared that the President recognized the extraordinary character of his action. as well as the unlawful use he has made of the secret service. Mr.

Till man said he did not deny the authen tleity of the letter or the telegram of which photographs and he presumed the letter from WliUlam Lee was also a correct copy, but he was not aware of its existence until it was brought to his attention by the President's statement and added that he was not in any way responsible for Mr. Lee's ideas expressed in it. Tax ing up the President's statement eon cernfing Dorr, land agent, making his filings thrpugh Eeeder Watkina of Marshfleld, Mr. Tillman said "It will be noted that I accused Dorr In rhe Senate of being a swindler and asked the postofflee department to Issue a fraod order against blm. Dorr declared In Ms circular so snre is senator Tillman of our success that he has subscribed and paid the fleceaaary fees for a quarter section for himself and 10 ther aectlons for 10 of his nearest It was tblg hold and outrageous falsehood mainly that caused me to denounce Dorr as a nw'idler as well as to declare In the Senate he had no warrant for the assertion.

The sleuths which- ithe President put ddoi my trail have made their report and a perusal of It shows to any fair mind that sot far from endeavoring to justify the fraod ri- eer against Dorr, they were really put work to Investigate me and endeavor poslble to discover something to my die.

DORR'S DECLARATION FALSE. Ik ua suppose for a moment that 1 was guilty of a falsehood in declaring hut hie no' undertaken to purchase any l'ind. Wuat did that have to do wKh tni, si'vrent and open use of the malls In lice men to send him money to purchase Ian Dorr's declaration that I bad on tM feet Is an absolute falsehood- anl Hie pwftfflre Inspectors, while they th4 records for entries at Coqullle, 'noted that Rteder and Watklns had filed ytrsi hund-cj nowhere mentioned that rsy bad been filed In' my name or for me. Therefore the falsehood Is proven on Dorr ana yet the President declared tbe assault which Senator Tillman made on Dorr according to the report of the Inapector, a wanton assault made to cover up Senator Tillman's own transaction.

"No such statement was maae Dy rne InBDector. In fact, so earnestly Intent en convicting Beaafor Tillman Is the President that be aotually commits himself to this proposition, to-wlt: Tillman, voluntarily and without any compulsion from any source and with nothing to brought up a matter la the Senate be need not have done to cover up transactions which were absolutely unknown to anyone except himself and bis correapon- dente, Reeder and watklns, and were en tirely hororable and clean. Much expos- 1 cu.red out 4he swindlers. Dorr, when mail was not delivered, retired from the land business and became a fruit grower, as reported by the Inspectors. The srviridrs bad secured a good many thousands of dollars before the exposure In the Senate stopped people from being duped, and yet Theodore Roosevelt, who poses the only remaining honest man In public life, in the face of these facta, has felt called upon to attack the character of a man whose Integrity has never before been questioned, and whose official position second only to his own.

In. doing this he makes a false declaration for tbe lnspec tors nowhere say any such things as above qnoted, which can be proven by an examination of their report. ABOUT' CHARGE OF LYING. Now about lying. My letter ot Feb ruary 15, of which the President has se cured a photographic copy, antedated hy four days my statement the Senate that had not bought any land or undertaken to buy any, and the President considers this positive proof of falsehood.

I did not say I had not considered the purchase of land; I did not say I had not contemplated the purchase of land because I bad done both. "In my conversation with the attorney general la regard to the resolution which Introduced and which he himself prepared after we bad talked over the whole land situation, I distinctly remember telling blm that my Interest In the matter bad been first aroused by my desire to purchase some of the tlmherland, and that my coming to him was due to the fact that I discovered upon Investigation that I could not buy It through any agency whatsoever, that I conld not buy It even by lawsuit, because was advised by very able lawyers In the Weet, among them the Hon. George Tur ner of Washington, that In attacking the holders of those land graqts, no one would have any standing In court except the grantor, the government Itself, I was peg- haps dlsengenuous, but a moment's thought win convince any honest minded man thai as I had not signed any papers, had not paid any money, had taken nobody's re ceipt, che usual proceaaes by which one undertakes to buy land, I was speaking accurately and not falsely. Everything hlhges on the meaning of the word 'under and my use of It. DM I mean to conceal the fact that I was anxious to buy some of tne land? Not at all.

Did to attackIorr as as windier when I myself was engaged In a dishonest and -dishonorable transaction? That Is what the President would have people believe. Can I be Justly charged with falsehood when If I had told the Senate of the en tire transaction. It would have made no difference while I would have been charged with Intruding my private affairs Into a public discussion! Just what law did I break! What wrong did I ao or contemplate! According to the re. port of the attorney general, In answer to the resolution which I Introduced and which passed the Senate. Harrlman, the president's dear friend, still holds.

In de fiance of law, upwards of two millions of acres of the best lands of Oregon and Cali fornia, ad refuses to sell them at any price. I never expected and could not. un der the terms of the law, a I construed It, get more than seven quarter section for myself and family, one for my private sec retary and one for Mr, Lee, making nine an. STILL HAS RIGHT TO BUT. 'This in the aggregate would mean that I would obtain through my activity here as the President a charge 1s, nine quarter see- tlons, or 1,440 acres, at a coat of win the president undertake to say that I have lost my right to tiny land because I am a senatorT Can tbe President deny that my activity serered the passage of the resolution Instructing the attorney gen.

eral to bring suit for the recovery of this land fo." the use of actual settlera? If Harrlman aprt others like him are made to disgorge by reason Of these suits, shall the fact that I was endeavoring to liny a little pittance of land used as the.bnsls or a charge of being a liar and a corrupt senator to be disgraced!" Senator. Tillman then told how, his attention had: been bronght to this land while at in October, 1907. He wrote to Reeder and Watklns asking for Information and telling them of his desire to pnrensee some, of the land possible. Desiring to' And ont If the conditions of the grant to the fltate of Oregon made It nOMlhie fnF "nnn.h.t.M1' nJ U- BU IV I.LII ettlers" to ouy at 12.80 per acre, he wired to tne. librarian of the Semite for a copy of the He met Mr.

He an. thorlsed Lee to draw on him If he found the lands were what they were representel to ne. "Lee'i authority as my agent." he said "never went beyond an examination of the land, sfld If the application was filed, to see that I got good timbered lands instead fit rock and marshes." STATUS OF LAND. Mr.

Tillman went Into detail In exnlaln Ing his effort to learn the exact atatna of the Innd and got an opinion from Sena tor Turner of Washington. After return Ing to Waehlngton. D.C.. In December, let -the matter -drop, believing ft to be "very rtonbtfnl proposition" until. Mr.

Le showed him a letter from. Reeder and Wat kins, which Mr. Tillman said 'had been Columbus, 0., Jan. 11. Judson Har mon of Cincinnati, attorny general in the cabinet of the late President Cleveland, was inaugurated governor ot Ohio at noon today in the capital rotunda, succeeding General Andrew Harris.

Judge Carew of the 8upreme Court was selected to administer the oath of stolen from the desk In his committee room, long with other papers In this case, and declared that the theft was probably by some of the secret service aleutbs. "When Reeder and Watklns," he said. Indicated their dealre that I should ix- ert my tuliutnco In the Senate, I wro the letter -of February IS, of which the President obtained a photographic copy. In the meantime and before that letter wat written and after a conference with thu attorney general, I Introduced tbe two reau-lutlon of January 81, one calling on the attorney general for Information and the other, which became a law, Instructing htm to institute suits. My official activity ttjeri shown to have taken form In the before I kuew anything about Reeder ami Watklns' attitude or expectations, and i wna In no way Influenced by them.

'I was still anxious to oDtain soma i the tend It It could be done legally sri wrote Reeder and Watklns to that effoc" urn my 11. luvm in iu iuj nuuv scheme died when I received the circulars of Dorr, which came to me on February i7 and 18, from three different direction, showing the widespread circulation of them. Mr. Lee's report to him. he said, Lai also led him to believe that Reeder and Watklns were not of the "caliber and character" to be employed In a matter of inch magnitude.

'Dorr, of whom I had never heard be fore," he said, "was evidently pushing his scheme ot getting suckers to and using my oame. a I have Indicated, with out authority, because I had not paid any fees' to him Or written to him or filed any applications. I. therefore, felt It Incumbent on me to' expose the swindle In the Senate, which I did ao February 19, and asked tbe postofflee department to Issue fraud order. I pressed tbe passage of the Joint resolution In the Senate, and on April AO It became a law.

March 18 1 was taken 111," and on May IB. after a partial recuneratton. I sailed for Europe, returning October 21. SrilNG ON A SENATOR. The President's sleuths set to do the dirty work of spying on a senator, when that senator bad exposed a fraud -which was being perpetrated on tbe public, report ed to him on July 27.

I had nothing to do with the change In the law ot which the President complains In regard to the secret service. So tbe President's animus is not against me on the same ground for which he has attacked Messrs. Tawoey, Smith and others In the House, but one of personal malice engendered by hatred because of my course In' the Senate during the last seven years. 1 have not attempted to- deceive any body; I hare not told any falsehoods; 1 have not broken any laws; I have not been gnllty of any Immoral conduct. I had the right to purchase the land If I could, but my Judgment told me It was nnsare as an investment: r-wordd rlke-rto- get -some of It yet.

and If the attorney general and his successors shall not die of old age before anything Is done. It may be possible that I may have the opportunity to purchase some of these timber lands of which he made mention In hla report. Through my action, attemitlon has been directed In compelling the need of prompt action by the department of Whether I ever get any of the land or not does not matter. If Harrlman and others of that clique are made to disgorge the large hold lngs which they have stolen and are at tempting to bold. The President." said Mr.

Tillman "Italicises the words 'as Well as myself, as though It were unlawful. Immoral or Im proper for a senator to buy any land or to act in tnis ennmner on any qnestion af fecting his pereonaj Interest I fall to see any sense or reason In thig position, bnt I must admit that to the Judgment of the Senate and the country. I had' not become a party to any litigation: I was not Inter ested except as a private. Individual want. Ing to pnrrhaae, and as a' senator, desiring to enable, others to have the opportunity do so.

Of course thg President Is snre that I have done something very discredit- able and ontrageons. He hates me and would destroy me If he conld. The President gloats over tbe fact that my letter was given 'Just four days before, he announced In the Senate that he (I) had not unaertaaen to buy any ina in tne. West as pllni-hlnir hla contention that I have lied to the Senate. The records show that In the Interim tbe Dorr circular had been sent to hie, for on February 19.

when made the exposure of Dorr, I said In the Senate, In the last day or two I hart bad my attention called to a scheme of swindling, etc' It! is easy for those who are themselves vulnerable to convict others on the most flimsy evidence and tbe President seems to work on that theory. WHEN UK LEARNED THE SCHEME. "On reading that Dorr circular tbe whole scheme and combination of Reeder and Watklns In Marshfleld and, Dorr In Portland (1 did not know anything about Conro and Srhnefet), flashed on my mmo, ana remembering Lee somewhat dubious. report as to the character and qualification of the firm of Reeder It Watklns, I decided at once to see to. It that my name should not be used to Inveigle others Into their game.

Hence my action in the Senate. "The President dismisses with a wave of the hand any possibility of my honestv by saying; 'It Is unnecessary to comment on his proposal made In this letter to use his influence as a senator to force the govern-ment to Institute a suit which would make It easy for him personally to Obtain some of the It might be well to Innoira whether or not the attorney general has been ordered not to obey the law of Con. gress passed last April which I will rail tne Tinman-Bonaparte law, ordering Inatltuted for the recovery of these lands.

Tbe President, having convicted Tillman, proceeded to clear Dorr In both' oases, contrary to the facts, and smilingly stares from tbe Tenter of the stage, wMca It Is his greatest delight to occupy, and complacently looks to have the American people and the BenateVlve their approval io Termer. i swaif that verdict calmly and without fear aid will gladly abide by It.
