BIG CROWD TURNSOUTATAKROK I Foraker Sara Republicans WllllCot Hamstring Country's Easiness to Please Anybody Tariff Revision and Cuban Belief Favored. AKRON". O., Sept 27. The Republi cans of Ohio opened their state campaign here today. Secretary Root, Senators For aker and Hanna, Governor Nash and Gen eral Dick, chairman of the state execu tive committee, arrived shortly before 1 o'clock. The parade this afternoon "was participated in by clubs and delegates from almost every city in Northern and Cen tral Ohio. At Grace Park, where the speaking exercises -were held, was gath ered a crowd estimated at 20,000. Judge W. K. Upson called the assemblage to order, and prayer was offered by Rev. R. A. Jones, a colored minister of this "city. Governor Nash was introduced aa the chairman, but he made no speech. Secretary of War Root was the first epeaker. He was greeted with tremendous applause, at the conclusion of which he spoke In part as follows: "I wish to say a few words upon Na tional issues. A peculiar condition of government arises from the fact that the Republican party has been for a number of years carrying into execution a new jiollcy. Passing out of the boundaries of the United States, passing beyond the consideration of the domestic questions, passing from the government of ourselves to others, we have been trying to work out an answer to the Question whether the American Republic is able to main tain, not only liberty and Justice within our own borders, but also to carry the torch of liberty abroad, to carry the principles of liberty and justice and to further freedom among peoples of the earth who dwell in other lands and know not liberty and law. In the solution of that question the Government of the United States, under the control of the Republican party, has been engaged for the past four years, and the question which faces you in thl3 campaign is whether that duty has been so well per formed that you will withdraw or continue your confidence in the Republican Ad ministration." The Secretory concluded as follows: "You are asked to show by your votes your confidence in the party, in the work of McKInley and his successor. You are asked to put in power in the House of Representatives the party which is op posed to the party that has attempted to vilhfy and defeat the Administration which ha3 been accomplishing all these things." Poraker on Traits. At the conclusion of Secretary Root's speech Senator Foraker was introduced. He said in part: Trusts are not in the proper sense of the word a party question, and they never can be made so. For this reason I would ordinarily devote but little time to them. But the refusal of Speaker Hen derson to be a candidate for re-election because of the attitude toward them of some Republicans in his district has brought the whole subject to the atten tion of the American people in such a way as to make apology for a few plain words unnecessary. "In the first place trusts did not orig inate here as a result of the tariff, but in England rnd European countries, where they have free trade, and where they had trusts of every character long before they became cemmon In America; and where today they are more numerous than they are In the United States. In the next place what are today called trusts are generally nothing more than 'large cor porations engaged as a rule In perfectly legitimate business, and as such they are but a natural evolution of modern indus trial conditions. Democrats and Republi cans alike promote them, organize them, hold stock in them, conduct them and share in their benefits and advantagea They exist because there, is a demand for them: not a political, but a business, de mand. By consolidating many establish ments into one you make a large capital and create a concentrated power of money, which, in the hands of unscrupu lous men, may be used to the Injury of the public welfare. Because there may be. It is appropriate to so legislate aa to prevent it, but one who has any sense would not think of so legislating as to prohibit or destroy large combinations of capital necessary for the conduct of legiti mate enterprises. "They have become a feature of modern conditions the world over, and in conse quence they are a special necessity here In the United States, where we are com pelled to invade and capture foreign mar kets, or slacken the pace at which we ore going in the employment of labor and the development of our resources. The Republican party, recognizing this fact, -will correct evils and prevent and punish abuses, but it will not hamstring the business of the country to please Mr. Bryan or anybody else. Instead of put ting the so-called trust magnates in the penitentiary, the man ought to be fa vored with some kind of a lock-up who is capable pf giving such advice. Not 'Opposed to Tariff Changes. "This does not mean that wo are op posed to any kind of change at any time In the tariff schedules and rates. On the contrary, we believe in tariff revision from time to time, as occasion may re quire, but it must always be on protec tion lines. No one has proposed a reduc tion of duty on imports from Cuba that would leave unprotected any Industry of this country, and for the reductions we propose to make we are to receive an equivalent in the corresponding reduc tions that are to be Imported Into Cuba. So that while we are proposing to give the Cubans a chance to get into our markets for the sale of their products, they are at thn give us the chance to enlarge our sales io mem. xz is a Dargaln, and a fair bar gain, in which we are to ct raiiia celved for all we are asked to give. But independently of that fact, we should ao, ana Deiieve win do, for Cuba what ever may be necessarv tn ctvo ha penty. We are under a moral obligation w uu bo; ana it wouia oe a shameful dis grace to the American people If we do not." Kanna Captures the Crorrd. The last speaker of the day was Sen ator Hanna. When he arose the cheer ing and applause were deafening. Sen ator Hanna said in cart: "A year aco it was mv nrlviliwt n n tend the ppening of the Republican cam paign, ana, alter looking the situation over, x came to tne conclusion that snouio give you a piece of advice: 'Let well enough alone.' That was the whole -chapters that was all there was In the campaign, xoaay l say stand pat. Sen ator Foraker nnd Rerrttnri' Tnn v.o,. made reference to the Importance of re taining a Republican majority in the Horse of Representatives. That matter cannot be overestimated. All of the suc cess 'of the Administration in continuing tne poney of Mr. McKInley and President .wooteveit 19 dependent upon the question of keeping in power a Republican ma jority in uongrees. "I belleye the tariff Is rood ennneh It is. If the time comes when the tariff needs revision, it will be done by the men who made the tariff, and if the men whoeo wisdom contributed to its construction see that conditions require a change they will change it. There are too many interests involved to change the tariff. "In regard to' reciprocity with Cuba I want to ray that I was from the begin ning with President McKInley, and am now with President Roosevelt in strong support of that policy, which I consider amoral question, and II believe that the sentiment of the people" of the Unltefl States demands that we carry It out." After the speeches. Senators Hanna and Foraker and Secretary Root returned to Cleveland on a special train. Secretary of War Root will be the guest of Sen ator Hanna over Sunday. CAMPBELL ELUDES THEM. 1 i Officers Still Unable to Serve "War rant on Boodlers' Broker. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27. The grand jury, which has been Investigating boodle scan dals In the Municipal Assembly, held an other session today and adjourned to Fri day, when it is expected the final report and a long list of Indictments will be handed down. Among the witnesses sum moned today were the following: John Scully, millionaire politician and ex-street-car magnate; John P. Newell, clerk in Broker Campbell's office; Paulus Gast, MONTANA DEMOCRATIC John 31. Evans. Charles Carroll and Frederick G. Uthoff, ex-members of the City Council; D. J. Sweaney, a promoter. Neither Broker Campbell nor his cash ier, William P. Reed, for whom Judge Douglass yesterday issued subpoenas duces tecum, commanding them to pro duce two checks aggregating $47,500 befon the grand Jury, could bo found for serv Ice, and Clerk Newell was summoned in stead. It is not known what he told the grand Jury. The checks in question were drawn on the Merchants' Laclede Bank in Xavor of Ed Butler, a prominent local pol itician, November 28, 1899, the day on which the House of Delegates reconsid ered and passed the lighting bill. Circuit Attorney Folk is trying to trace the con nection between these checks and the $47,500. said to have been divided between the 19 members of the House of Delegates combine soon after the passage of the lighting bllL He feels confident that this can be done. This Is the Information It is believed Delegate Kelly, the fugitive, has locked up in his breast. ' Rewards aggregating $1800 have been of fered for Kelly's apprehension, but it Is believed Attorney Folk can get along with out his evidence, having secured it else where. Mr. Folk had fully expected to have the present grand Jury wind up its business and report on Monday, hut he finds this cannot be done, as the Snyder bribery trial and other matters will keep him busy until the latter part of next week. Mr. Folk Is ready to go ahead with the trial of R. M. Snyder,, the promoter, of Kansas City and New York. The Circuit Attorney says he expects to prove that Snyder paid ex-City Councilman Uthoff $5000 to secure the passage of the Central Traction bill, which became an ordinance despite the veto of Mayor Zelgenhelm. Deputy Sheriffs were busy all day sum moning a special venire of CO citizens from whom the Jury will be selected In Judge Ryan's court Monday. Uthoff is the state's star witness, having returned from Colorado to testify for Mr. Folk. A strong array of legal talent has been engaged by Snyder to defend his case. Major William Warner, of Kansas City, and Morton Jourdon and Boyle Priest, of this city, are among the attorneys re tained by the defendant. Snyder's defense, it la stated, will be the plea that the stat ute of limitations bars prosecution by the state. He expects o prove that he has been a continuous resident of Kansas City since the commission of the alleged crime. On the other hand, Circuit Attorney Folk says several witnesses will be on hand to prove Snyder told them he lived in New York City. Notice was served on the Circuit Attor ney late this afternoon that ex-Delcgates Helms, Schnetler. Schumacher and Tam blyn, who are In prison awaiting trial on charges of bribery and perjury, vrlll make the fourth attempt Monday, before Judge Ryan, in the Circuit Court, to secure their release on a writ of habeas corpus. The three other attempts made before Judges of the Supremo Court failed. Campbell Located in Chicago. CHICAGO. Sept 27. James Campbell, the i St Louis broker, for whom Judge Douglass, of St Louis, has issued a sub pena duces tecum in Connection with the Investigation of the alleged bribery charges against the Municipal Assembly of -St Louis, made a general denial here tonight of any knowledge whatever of the two checks, aggregating $47,500. which At torney Folk believes were cashed at Mr. Campbell's bank. Mr. Campbell Is a guest at the Auditorium Annex Hotel. AMERICA'FAR IN T&E LEAD Its Electrical Power Compared With That of Other Nations. ' NEW YORK, SepT27. At a meeting of the American Institute of Electrical En gineers, in this city. President Scott said that since the organization of the Insti tute in 1884. the value of electrical instal lations in the United States, outside of telegraph and telephone plants, had in creased from SUWfXO to over $4,030,000,000. "The United States," he added, "with only one-fifth of the population of Europe and Great Britain, has 24.-3 times the kilowatt capacity in power stations and 3& the mileage of electric railways. The power-houses in operation and under con tract In New York City would replace all the central stations for lighting and pow er in Great Britain or Germany; they would operate all the electric railways of Great Britain and Europe combined; orfe alone would be sufficient for the railways of Germany, and the output of a single' generator would run all the railways of Switzerland."

In NERVOUS, DYSPEPTIC WOMEN v -Made Well and Strpng by. Pe-ru-na Diseased Nerves Are Di rectly Traceable to Poor Digestion. Poor Digestion Is Directly Traceable to Catarrh. With the'Slightest Catarrh of the Stomach No One Can Have Good Digestion Peruna Is a Specific for Catarrh of the Stomach. Mrs. F D. Clarke, S6 West Mohawk Street Buffalo, N. Y.. writes: "Peruna is a friend to the sick, and I think It but just to acknowledge the great help I have had through the use of it I was troubled with indigestion for three years, and what I ate distressed me ter ribly. Eight bottles of Peruna made a complete change in my life, for It cured me, and now I can eat anything without any distress, and have gained 16 pounds: I am pleased to say a good word for Pe runa at every opportunity." MRS. F. D. CLARKE. Mrs. v Susie Gelb, " Springfield. Neb.. kwrltes: "I wish, to express my gratitude for your blessed medicine. I had nerv ous prostration, palpitation of the heart and chronic indigestion until almost a skeleton. My two children seemed to inherit my ailment, and local physicians could do nothing for us. My husband vrna in despair, tv lien a. friend recommended Peruna to him. Three bottles made a vast improvement. A year's treatment has made me well again, until I can do clerical work for my husband, who is a railroad man, and superin tend my household matters. From a ghost I weigh 105 pounds, and my children, under the same treatment, have become robust, rosy and Joy ous. My hearing nnd sight have im proved, and my nerves are as steady as when a girl."

Letters From Women. , Every day we receive letters from women like the following. Women who have tried doctors and failed; women who have tried Peruna and were cured: CUBA MUST WAIT AWHILE AMERICAN TROOPS CANNOT BE WITHDRAWN NOW. Step Will Be Taken Only When Treaty Provided, for by Piatt Amendment Is Arranged. WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. Though rec ognizing In the requfst of the Cuban Government for the withdrawal of the remaining American troops in Cuba a very natural desire to remove all traces of foreign occupation, the indications are that the authorities here will order the withdrawal only upon he completion of the permanent treaty contemplated In the Piatt amendment Both the amendment and the Cuban constitution provide that a permanent treaty shall be signed be tween tho United States and Cuba, where by each government shall assume certain obligations. Cuba, for Its part. Is not to make any foreign treaties Impairing her Independence; Is not to assume ex cessive Indebtedness: Is to recognize tho right of Intervention of the United States to protect lives and property: is to vali date all acts of military occupation; Is to continue the sanitary measures In augurated; is to sell or lease to the United States lands for coal and naval stations, and Is to adjust the title to the Is-lnnd of Pines In' a subsequent treat-. For its part, the United States is to maintain the independence of Cuba and protect individual life, property and lib erty. There Is no assurance, at the present moment that the Cuban Government has a sufficient, distinctively Cuban army at hand to undertake to care for these things Itself. Moreover, It Is regarded as essen tial that such provisions In the projected treaty ns those touching coaling stations and the ownership of the Isle of Pines shall be expressly arranged for In a treaty that shall be absolutely binding upon YoiirDoctor Always " comes promptly?

Check for More Than a Quarter of a Million on Life Insurance Policy. Denver Republican. The largest premium ever paid on a life Insurance policy In the history of tho Insurance business Is on record. It is $263,150, and was paid by Eben Smith, one of the best known men In Colorado and the West for a policy of $250,000. Mr. Smith paid the money to the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, through an agent of the company In Denver. The $263,150 Includes the prem iums and all the payments on It during the life of Mr. Smith. By paying the entire amount. Mr. Smith gains, but should he dlo today his Investment would mean a loss of over $13,000. However, Mr. Smith is hale and hearty. The last policy makes Mr. Smith's holdings In the Mutual Life Insurance Company over $600,000. There are polices held for larger amounts, but there never has been a premium paid on a policy calling for as large a sum as $250,000. Some of New York's rich men hold policies for millions, but they pay the premiums as they como due, so Mr. Smith has the distinction of paying the largest premium in the his tory of the world. Mr. Smith after more than 30 years of active business life retired a short time ago. He disposed of a good many of his Interests In Colorado and purchased a home in Los Angeles. There he Intend ed to spend seven months of each year. Early in I860 Mr. Smith came to Colo rado from California. He engaged in mining in Gilpin County and became as sociated with Jerome B. "Chaffee, Colo rado's first United States Senator. He gained the largest part of his for tune at Cripple Creek. With Mr. Moffat he controlled the Victor mine, the Golden Cycle and other valuable properties. The Florence & Cripple Creek railroad was one of his pet projects and he carried It successfully to completion. Mr. Smith was interested In numerous other en prises and is a very wealthy man. How to Escape a Danger. New York Times. According to the report which we pub lished yesterday morning, three of the six Senators whom the President has called in conference on the tariff ques tion are substantially agreed thit the tariff should be revised by placing on the free list articles the cost of produc ing which Is less In this country than it is abroad. These three Senators are Messrs. Spooner of Wisconsin, Allison of Iowa, and Lodge of Massachusetts. Undoubtedly this Is sound reasoning from the needs of the country and from tho express declarations of the later Re publican National platforms. Nothing could be plainer than that this principle fixes exactly the level at which tho tariff ceases to be protective to American In dustries and becomes oppressive to many of them and repressive .to tho domestic and foreign trade of the Union. We believe that this principle accords with the convictions of Mr. Roosevelt as early formed, convictions which he has deemed It expedient in the recent past to hold in the background, but which from the 3tomach the digestion be comes good, appetite regular, nerves strong, and trouble vanishes. Peruna strengthens weak nerves; not by tem porarily stimulating them, but by re moving the cause of weak nerves poor digestion. This Is the only cure that lasts. Remove the cause; Nature will do the rest Peruna removes the cause. MIs3 Dollle E. Edens, Charleston, Mo., writes: "Before I began your treatment my stomach was bloated up all the time.
