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.

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.

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."

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

what their trouble Is. They know
they belch after meals, have sour
stomach, a sensation of weight or
heaviness,, a fullnessirregular ap

sensations, occasional pain they all
know this, but they do not know
that their trouble is catarrh of the

take Peruna.

PAID LARGEST PREMIUM.
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.
I could only eat boiled milk and crack
er, and was een then mo3t distressed
after eating. Was hungry all the time,
but did not dare eat enough to satisfy
my appetite. The doctor treated me
for indigestion: I took so much medi
cine, but nothing did me any good.
"It Is with a happy heart I now
write you that I am almost well, and
Peruna has done the work. I think
It Is the best medicine on earth. Had
it not been for Peruna and your, kind
advice, which I followed to the letter,
I should have been in a lunatic's grave
long ago.
"I took medicine for a year, and
nothing helped me until I took
Peruna. It was certainly a God
send. Our doctor hill amounted
to h small fortune of itself.
"My mother and grandmother
are now taking Peruna, and It is
helping them. I talk Peruna to
everybody. The druggist tell me
he sells more of it than any other
medicine. It is grand."
If you do not receive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case,

The Okapl.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
The okapl. the strange animal a short
tlmo ago discovered In Central Africa by
Slr Harry Johnstone, is now thought to
have been known to the ancient Egyp
tians. The old monuments show a so
called "animal of set," a desert quadru
ped variously supposed to hive been a
fox, a muskrat. a dog, a camel and even
a fabulous animal. A study of the pic
ture convinces Professor Wiedeman that
this creature was the okapl, which early
hunters exterminated In Egypt.
