DYSPEPSIA
Geo. S. Scally of 75 Nassau si., New York,
says: "For years I have been troubled
with rheumatism and dyspepsia, and' I
came to the conclusion to try your pills.
I immediately found great relief from their
use; I feel like anew man since I com
menced taking them, and would not now
be without them. The drowsy, sleepy
feeling I used to have has entirely disap
peared. The dyspepsia has left me and
my rheumatism is gone entirely. I am sat
isfied If any one so afflicted will give Rad
way’s Pills a trial they will surely cure
them, for I believe It all comes from the
system being out of order—the liver not do

CLARK’S BIG POLITICAL COUP.
(Continued from First Page.)
fight I have made against the domina
tion of Daly and his crowd. There is no
question in my mind of the right of the
lieutenant governor, while acting as Gov
ernor. to make this appointment. I presid
ed over the convention which made the
constitution of the state and it was the
purpose of that convention to safeguard
the executive office so that It should at
all times be occupied. That is why our
constitution not only places upon the
shoulders of the lieutenant governor all
of the duties of the Governor during his
absence from the state, but makes him.
in fact, the Governor with both the
duties and the emoluments of the
office from the time the Governor
himself steps across the state line until
he returns to resume his office. Should I
he appointed by Gov. Spriggs, I shall feel
that I have an absolute and unquestioned
ti le to the office which cannot success
fully be assailed. No, it is not possible for
the Governor to return and undo any
thing which the lieutenant governor has
done while the latter is acting as Gover
n-r.”
Even should the credentials of Mr.
Clark go to the Committee on Elections
and remain tied up there without action,
throughout the rest of the session, Mr.
Clark will have won a decided advantage
in his fight for election before the next
legislature. He will have the prestige of
the arpointment instead of letting the ad
vantage go to someone of his enemies as.
would have been the case had Gov. Smith
made the appointment.
Clark Uect'iveil Notice.
Senator Clark to-night received the fol
lowing telegram announcing his appoint
ment:
‘‘Helena, Mont., May 15. —Senator W. A.
Clark, Washington: I have the honor to
inform you that I have this day appoint
ed you to fill the vacancy in Montana’s
representation In the Senate of the United
States. I send you certificate by regis
tered mail. I trust you will accept the
appointment. A. E. Spriggs,
“Acting Governor.”
The Senator also received the following
telegram from his son:
“Gov. Spriggs to-day appointed you as
senator. Congratulations. C. W. Clark.”
Senator Clark accepted the appointment
In the following reply to Gov. Spriggs’
message:
‘‘Washington, May 15.—Hon. A. E.
Spriggs, Governor of Montana. Dear Gov
ernor: I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your complimentary
message informing me of my appoint
ment to fill the vacancy In the United
States Senate caused by my resignation
and to inform you of my acceptance
thereof. 1 fully appreciate the high com

myself to discharge the duties of the of

‘‘With the assurance of my high esteem,
I am yours, sincerely. W. A. Clark.”
Some of the Comment*.
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire,
chairman of the Senate Elections Com
mittee, when informed of Mr. Clark’s ap
pointment, said:
“I reckon the trick won’t work.”
Senator MeComae. a Republican mem
ber of the committee, said:
“If the report of the appointment is
true apparently, the cos© would depend
upon the fate of the pending resolution
b Tted by the Committee on Privileges
fii and Elections In the Clark eae.
‘lf that resolution should be passed It
wv>ul,i be a judgment of the Senate to
the- effect that the seat was vacant from
the beginning of the term, and we should
then have in the Clark case substantially
A repetition of the Quay case.”
Senator Caffery of Louisiana, a Demo
cratic member of the committee, concurred
Y'rh Senator McComas, as did Senator
Democrat, of Aikansas. Senator
-A Irich of Rhode Island said that Senator
irk had made a mistake in getting the
appointment.
Unitor Allison said: “If the appoint
nt is made under the statutes of Mon
tana, I don’t think it can be undone by
: h ° Governor upon his return to Mon
:ana - Moreover, my opinion, without hav
opportunity to investigate the case
closely, ig that Senator Clark’s reslgna

Senator Butler, Populist, ©aid:

ustslon of the evidence, an explanation
of political and business affairs In Mon
tana, and a bitter excoriation of Marcus
Daly and his friends, who have antag
onized the ambitions of Mr. Clark.
As Mr. Clarlf adverted to his desire to
hand down to his children a name untar
nished even by the breath of disgrace,
tears welled to his eyes and he almost
broke down. It was a dramatic scene.
Then he read the letter he had sent to
the Governor of Montana, tendering his
resignation. At the conclusion of the
speech Mr. Clark became the center of
a group of senators, all desirous of press
ing his hard.
Little other business of importance was
transacted. The Clark resolution went
over until to-morrow.
Procedure Hun Vnfatr.
Mr. Clark said he had no desire to cast
aspersions on the members of the Elec
tions Committee, but yet he was forced
to the conclusion, which he believed met
with the concurrence of not only a large
number of senators on both sides of this
chamber, but also of 80 per cent, of his
constituency In the stale of Montana, re
gardless of political affiliations, that the
methods of procedure in the Investiga
tion were manifestly unfair, non-judleial
and the verdict entirely opposite to that
which would have occurred if the evi
dence had been confined to that which
was admissible and pertinent to the insue.
Itlstrue.ha sold, that there was a anong
effort made by the senators from Ala
bama, Maryland, Kansas and North Car
olina at the beginning of the investiga
tion, to exclude all the Irrelevant testi
mony, but their efforts were unavailing.
"The result of the admission of all kinds
of heresay, Irrelevant malicious and per
jured testimony,” he continued, "was
damaging in the extreme to the respond
ent, as through the medium of both the
respectable and the venal press the most
widespread publicity was given through
out the land to some of the pernicious
falsehoods, touching the respondent and
likewise, a large number of most eminent
and upright legislators who supported
h>m and who are the petrs of the boasted
men of any state In this Union.
Compared to Dreyfus Case.
“The prevailing theory of presumptive
innocence was largely ignored and the en
tire proceedings were closely analogous to
the Dreyfus case, where the prosecu
tion was based upon a presumption of
guilt. Precedents established since 1785
have been lightly considered, if not en
tirely disregarded. It has heretofore been
held that there must be proved actual
complicity of fraud on the part of the
principal or actual not presumptive
knowledge of corruption on the part of
his agents, or that It must be proved,
not inferred, that a sufficient number of
legislators have been corruptly influenced
to change the result of the election.
"As to the first proposition, no proof
was advanced that was accepted by the
committee, and no charge of complicity
has been made In the report.
“As to the second proposition, not a
single instance, in my opinion, or in the
opinion of the eminent counsel who aid
ed me in this Investigation, has there
been any proof sufficient to establish the
guilt of a single legislator. On the con
trary, positive evidence has been elicited
in every case where the respondent was
allowed to Introduce testimony that no
consideration was given, or received, or
promised, nor any consideration made to
secure a vote for the respondent.
"In order to change the result of the
election it would be necessary to estab
lish that eight members of the Legisla
ture were corruptly influenced.
Those Suddenly Made Rich.
"Much stress has been laid upon the
comparative financial condition of two or
three legislators before and after the sen
atorial conteet. These men gave full ex
planation of the circumstances and con
ditions relating to such matters. The
presumption Is that if their financial con
dition was better they acquired it inno
cently. This is a plain proposition of
law, and the burden of proof did not rest
upon them. From their well known char
acter I do not believe them dishonest,
and even If they were it must be re
membered that there was much legisla
tion before that assembly, involving mil
lions of dollars, in which some of the
memorialists were deeply Interested, and
although they appear here as apostles
of purity It is well known In Montana
they would not fall to test the probity of
every man in the most unscrupulous
manner to promote their own Interests.
"They were actively engnged in pre
venting a revision of the infamous elec
tion law enacted at their instance which
the honest people of Montana were en
deavoring to correct with regard to the
cross In the circle, by which these peo
ple have been enabled to coerce every
man In their employ into>casting his bal
lot to suit their wishes.
"They were also deeply Interested In at
tempting the repeal of a law requiring
safety cages in every mine, which law
thev have totally disregard*!. It Is charg
ed that many lives havo been lost by rea
son of this disregard of the law.

Clark’s retirement was to charge Clark,

Eembly on the 28th day of January, 1899,
elected me to represent the state of Mon
tana in the Senate of the United States
for the term commencing on the fourth
day of March, 1899.
“Under the authority of the credentials
signed by the Governor of the state, I en
tered upon the discharge of the duties of
that position on the first Monday of last
December, after qualifying by taking the
oath of office prescribed by law.
“On the fourth day of December, 1899,
two memorials were presented to the Sen
ate of the United 'States praying that my
right and title to cbnflnue to act as a sen
ator under the credentials which certified
to my election should be Investigated.
These memorials, with the accomi>anying
papers, were referred to a standing com
mittee of the* body.
“After a protracted investigation of the
allegations of said memorialists, the com
mittee has submitted its conclusion to
the Senate, in which it finds the seat
which I now occupy under the credentials
issued by authority of the vote taken in
the assembly of the Legislature on the
23th day of January, 1899, should be de
clared vacant.
‘‘None of the charges effecting my per
sonal honor, or which alleged that I had
personally been guilty of corrupt prac
tices have been sustained by the finding
of the committee.
“Conscious of the rectitude of my own
conduct, and after a critical examination
of all the evidence taken by the commit
tee; convinced that those friends who
wf re so loyal to me during chat bitter con
test did not resort to dishonest or corrupt
mejns to influence the action of the mem
bers of the Legislature in their choice
of a senator; yet 1 am unwilling to con
tinue to occupy a seat in the Senate of
the United States under credentials which
Us committee has declared rests for their
authority upon the ac*ion of a Legisla
ture which was not free and voluntary in
its choice of a senator.
“Self-respect and due regard for the
opinion of my associates, and a sense of
duty to the people of the state of Mon
tana, demand that I should return the
credentials under which I am acting as
one of the representatives In the Senate
of the United States, leaving the state
and her people to take such action as
will conserve and promote her best inter
ests in the national council.
“Influenced by these considerations, I
deem it eminently proper, without unnec
essary delay, to resign the position of
United States senator from the state of
Montana to which I was chosen by the
sixth legislative aesembly of Montana, on
the 28rh day of January, 1899.
“With sentiments of esteem, I remain,
respectfully yours, W. A. Clark.’’
The case, then on Mr. Clurk’s request,
went over until to-morrow.
Mr. Ross of Vermont urged his bill
regulating appointments and removals
from civil offices in outlying dependencies.
Mr. Hale called attention to the “mon
strous evils’’ which always have attend
ed a colonial policy.
The final vote on the District of Colum

4:30 p. m. the Senate adjourned.
MEETINGS AT FITZGERALD.
The Grey nml nine anil Knight* f
Pythias to Gather There.
Fitzgerald, Ga., May 15.—T0-morrow oc
curs at this place the sccpnd annual meet
ingr of the Gray and Blue, an organiza
tion composed of the ex-soldiers residing
in this county. A delightful programme
has been arranged, and will include such
distinguished speakers as Gov. A. D.
Candler, Cos!. A. J. West, Col. Harry
Burns of Florida, and others.
Our little city is gaily decorated for the
occasion, and will be full of visitors, many
already airlvlijg. These arc notable gath
erings, made so from the fact that it is
the first organization of the kind in the
Vnion. This colony is composed largely
of G. A. R. veterans, and they are living
quietly ami peaceably in this stale along
with their former foes, who fought so gal
lantly under Lee. One of the attractions
will be a "camp fire,” around which the
old veterans of both armies will gather
and repeat their experiences of l£l-65.
On Thruedny morning the thirty-first an
nual session of the Grand Lodge, Knights
of Pythlns of Georgia. will convene in this
city. Great preparations have been made
by the citizens ar.d local lodge for their
entertainment. Ail hotels will be crowded,
and it becamo necessary for the local
Knights to throw open the new Lee Grant
Hotel. This is one of the handsomest
and most commodious buildings in South
ern Georgia, and will prove a delight to
the visitors. In addition to the annual
election for Grand Lodge officers will oc
cur the election of a brigadier general and
line officers for the Uniform Rank, which
occurs every four years. It Is a foregone
conclusion that Gen. R. F. Hannan of
Savannah, will be re-elected, without op
position, as he Is the one man who has
done so much to advance the uniform
rank In Georgia. The present Grand
Lodge officers will doubtless be advanced
in their present order. They have all
made good officers, and show the order
In this stato to be in a very prosperous
condition.
One of the many attractions for the vis
istlng Knights will be the Amplified Rank
of Knight, given by the celebrated work
ing team, from George F. Cooper Lodge
of Americus. A grand military ball will
close the festivities Friday night. Large
delegation* will be in attendance from At
lanta, Augusta, Rome LaGrange, New
nan, Americus, Savannah, Macon, Bruns
wick, and Albany. This 1* the first time
the Grand Lodge has ever consented to
meet in a place the size of Fltzgernld, but
they will be given a royal time. Al
though the "Colony City” is only four
years old, It will do the honors of the
occasion In a manner acceptable to the
large numbers who will atlend.

Athens, Ga., May 15.—The ladies of Lucy
Cobb Inatitute are deilghtejl with their
success on “Lucy Cobb Day” at McDow
ell & Son's grocery store. They conduct
ed the entire business, and their share of
the proceeds foots up nearly SIOO. This
money goes to aid lri the construction of
an annex to be built to the chapel. '
A feature of the day was the voting
contest for qu-en and king of hearts.
Over 600 ballots were cast, resulting in the
election of Miss Leslie Butts, a charming
Lucy Cobb g rl from Brunswick, as queen.
Mr. Will S. Blun of Savannah was elected
kl"g.
A | arty of al out thirty young ladles of
Lucy Cobb Institute and a large number
of university students will go down on
the excursion to be run by the Georgia
Railroad to Union Point for the purpose
of viewing the eclipse of the sun. Athens
Is just outside the path of totality and it
is probable that a large number of citi
zens will Join the excursion to Union Point
where the eclipse will be total.
The Athens dog law' continues to get In
its deadly work. To date sixty-five dogs
have been killed and 125 muzzled. The
police have instructions lo put every dog,
found on the streets without a muzzle,
into the city pound, where, after remain
ing twenty-four hours unredeemed, the
animals are to be shot. Recently a ne
gro's yard was raided and twenty half
starved hounds found. A dozen of the an
imals were captured and subsequently
shot.
Messrs. E. Breitenbucher of Atlanta and
H. F. Sharpe of Cherokee county, are the
successful contestants for speaker’s places
from the law class at commencement. Ten
members of the class are selected eaoh
year for scholarship. These gentlemen
speak lx*fore the faculty, which body
grants two of them speakers’ places. The
honor Is. therefore, a high one and is
much courted.
LECTURES ON AGRICULTURE.
Weary Seniors Carried Pillows to
the Claxn Room.
Athens, Ga„ May 15.—The series of lec

be given by members of the university
faculty, began yesterday. This is an ad
dition to the regular line of university
work, and the course is an exceedingly
complete one.
The students, however, do not seem to
thoroughly appreciate the benefits of the
new course, and at a meeting of the.
senior class it was decided that the mem
bers of that body should carry with them
to the class room a number of pillow’s.
At chapel the boys all appeared with their
pillows, the sight eliciting howls of ap
proval from the under classmen.
Chapel over, the students went to the
lecture room. They were horrified to find
that, instead of a less imposing member
of the faculty’, they were met at tho door
by Dr. H. C. White, the most august
professor In the institute. There was an
immediate hiding of pillows, and only one
student had the nerve to carry his cush
ion imo the room. The seniors are the
butt of ridicule for the college.

THREW A ROCK INTO A OAR.
Two Negro Boy* Punished— A Rno

Valdosta, Ga., May lo.—Two little negro
boys were run down and arrested near

striking Mr. Denhatn’a secretary, but do
ing no serious damage. Messengers were
sent after Mcßee’a track hounds and Mr.
Ed. Mcßoe went to the scene. In a little
while he had two boys, who admitted their
guilt. The parents of the two lads are re
spectable Colored people, who profess to
be willing for tho youngsters to be pun

Involving them In heavy expense. It Is
underwood that an agreement was reach
ed between all of the portlet* Interested by
which the boys are to serve a month’s
term at Meßee’s without going Into the

THE SIMPLEST CURE FUR
INDIGESTION.
A< Well mr Ihe .Safes! and C heapest.
The new medical discovery, Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food In
stead of making the worn-out stomach
do all the work, give It a much needed
rest, and a cure of dyspepsia Is the nat
ural result.
You get nourishment and rest at the
same time because these Tablets will thor
oughly digest all wholesome, food taken
Into the stomach whether the stomach
works or not. A cure Is certain to result
because the digestive organs are given a
chance to rest and recover their natural
vigor and tone. The tablets are then
no longer required.
To show the manner In which the rem
edy acts on different people and how
quickly and effectually It cures stomach
troubles we present u few recent cases.
Mr. J. O. Wondly of Peoria, 111., writes:
I was unable to eat anything but the
plainest food, and even that often dis
tressed me, but elnre using one box of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet* I can eat any
thing and everything I want.
Mis. Samuel Kepple of Dirty, Pa.,
writes: I have been entirely relieved of
my stomach troubles by your tablets. I
suffered three years with sour stomach
and gas at night. I am thankful for
them.
Mrs. A. E. Rowen, Barnard, VI., wrl es;
I think Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
the best thing for dyspepsia 1 ever took.
I will recommend them to any one trou
bled ns bad as I wot.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet* will rot dis
appoint because they cure dyspepsia sure
ly and lastingly by causing the food to
be properly assimilated, and cure consti
pation by producing the proper quantity
of bile, and sold by all druggists at 50
cents per package.
