tbe Chance of Judge Eatell
aettlnar riace.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. (Special Tele
gtam. Judge Baker confidently believes
that after hla statement to Attorney Gen
eral Moody on Monday he will be given a
clean bill of health, that is to say, the order
of removal will be annulled and the charge
against him dismissed, so that he may sit
with th supreme court on January 4. Ha
bases his belief on the manner of the presi
dent after his statement, which was made
In the presence of Senator Millard and
Congressman Hlnsliaw.
Judge Baker is not without influential
friends In New Mexioo, for within twenty
four hours after his removal was noised
about ths street of Albuquerque, a tele
gram was aent to the president signed by
hundreds of the leading oitlsens of Albu
querque, Including all the banks in the
city, asking him to suspend action until
Judge Baker could be heard. The tele
gram, which was In the nature of a pe
tition, stated that Baker's removal would
mean a serious blow to the business .in
terests of th city and th administration
of justice. This telegram wa followed by
another from the Commercial club of Afcu
querque, emphasising the Importance of
going alow and not to prejudice a fearleaa
publics official. It is significant that twenty
one out of the twenty-lx lawyers In Albu
querque also sent a petition in Judge
Baker's behalf. With the decision to open
the case Baker believes the main battle has J
been won. It now devolves upon him to
convince the attorney general that a wrong
has been done, which. If he succeeds, means
his return to the position from which he
wa unceremoniously removed.

POLITICS WARM UP
(Continued from First Page.)
Rulawaye, urges Imperial preference for
the development of the South African col
onies. ' Africa Desires t'onceaslona.
The cape wines justified the desire of
Mr. Chamberlain, to see preference given
to colonial products In the British mar
ket, and Sir Gilbert prophesies a great fu
ture for them If ths trade Is properly man
aged. 'tbodesla waa going to have a great to
bacco Industry, and her preference was a
question well worth the consideration of
the future.
Sir Glfbsrt pointed out that South Africa
now has railway communication between
all the colonies, the products of one colony
adding indirectly to th wellbelng of th
other.
Centralisation for th general policy of
a subcontinent like South Africa must
necessarily be beneficial and economical.
Th revenues would be pooled and the
country would present a united nation to
the world for commercial and political In
terests. The secret of the ' success of th United
States was the divergent character of the
resources of- the different states. Sir Gil
bert foreshadows a similar future for
South Africa.
He concluded by stating that the nego
tiations fur his land settlement scheme
Were proceeding satisfactorily and that h
would Soon be In a position to speak fully
on tbe subject.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body In Health and
Disease.
Th mention of sulphur will recall to
many of ua th twriy day when our
mother and grandmother gave ua our
dally doae of sulphur and molasses every
spring and tall,
It was the universal spring and fall
'blood puntler," loi.lo and cure-all, and
mind you, thl old-lashluned lemeuy was
no i without uerlU
The idea was good, but the remedy waa
crude and unpalatable, and a large quan
tity had to b taken to get any effect
Nowaday wa get all th benattuial effects
of sulphur la a palatable, couceniraiad
form, so that a single grain Is lar mor
effective than a tablespoonful of the crude
sulphur.
In recent yeais, research and experiment
have proven that tbe beat sulphur for me
dicinal us Is that obtained irom Calcium
(Calcium Sulpblde and sold In drug aioias
under in nam of buart a Calcium Waf
ers. They are small chosulat cuaied pel
lets and contain the active medicinal prin
ciple of sulphur in a highly oouoantratsd.
effective form.
Few people ar. awar of th value of this
form of sulphur in restoring and maintain
ing bouly vigor and healtn: aulpnur acts
directly on tii liver, and (xcritoiy organs
and purifies and enrlohea th blood by la.
prompt elimination of wast malarial.
Our grandmothers knew thl when they
dosed u with sulphur and .molasses every
pring nd fall, but ths orudliy and Im
purity of ordinary flower of sulphur wers
often worse than th dleaae, and cannot
compare with th mouern concentrated
preparation of sulphur of which Stuart's
Calcium Wafer 1 undoubtsdly th beat
and most widely used.
They ar. th. natural antidote for liver
and kidney trsubl snd cure constipation
and purify th blood id a way that often
surprise patient and physician allk.
Dr. R. M. WllKtns whila experimenting
wltb aulpbur remedies soon faund that th
sulphur from Calcium was superior to any
ether form. Hs saysi "For livr, kidney
and blood trouble, especially when re
sulting iiom constipation or rnalurlj, j
hav been aurprlaed at th reaulig obtains!
from Btuart Calcium Wafer. ln patients
suffering from bolls snd pimple x)1( tWvn

druggists, and for that reason tabocsd by
many physicians, yet I know of nothing so
sal and rsllabl for constipation, liver sad
kidney troubles and especially In all forms

At any rat. people who ar. tired of pills,

until after the holidays. The recess will
not bo marked by social functions, as the
Russian embassy Is in deep mourning ow
ing to the death of the ambassador's son
and the British embassy Is torn up Inci
dent to the retirement of Ambassad r Mon
son and the succession of Sir Francis
Bertie.
It Is understood that the British side of
the case is practically made up. It Is the
expectation that Sir Edward Frye will bear
the burden of presenting and proving the
case, as it is assumed that English common
law principle will prevail, that the burden
of proof Is upon Great Britain.
However, the protocol provides that the
commission can establish It own procedure,
and owing to the mixed nationalities of tho
admirals It Is not certain whether English
common law, the French civil code or the
RuFslan-Qreek procedure will prevail.
TRIBUTE TO MURPHY
(Continued irom First Page.;
come from the heart and shall not tran
scend a tiuo estimate of his character.
On matters of grave Importance hla in
sight was keen, h.s ducudoii tirin, and when
once taken no obstacle was so great as to
swerve him from the straight and honor
able couiw. of their solution. He posue.HHed
the tuculty of first inspiring tne conti
nence, then the respect and love of his
business apsoelutes. lie was quick to de
tect and utilise the ability of others, but
always stood a tower of strength among
hi fellows. Others might lose their tem
per; he never. Others might grow weary or
waiting for results; he whs willing to wait
for years If necessary.
His faith in the future of Omaha seemed
to be a part of his religion. This faith
was the secret of his success In business.
In its darkest days of panic and depres
sion this faith never wavered, but Inspired
Dy it ne made nis investments here and
waited for yenrs for their return. He al-
vnt'i nnrfn with rftliiKlnnr. U'lth nni- ef
his Omaha, properties, and todav his Vast
estate is composed principally of home In-
vestments. He was ever ready to assist In
any enterprise for the upbuilding of thl
city, and his name has been connected with
nearly every public movement for Its bene
fit wince It waa founded.
His chnrltles were many, but so secretly
nestowea mat rew Knew or tneir extent
Many an old friend less fortunate than he
has been remembered 111 a substantial man
ner In time of distress. Not u public
charity of the city was forgottpn by him.
and his religion was so liberal thnt his
name whs often found on the subscription
rolls of other denominational churches thHrt
his own. But the virtue which was most
prominent ln his character was fidelity to
his friends. No business associate nor em
ploye ever had reason to doubt his faithful
ness. I have seen him under grent stress
of clfMiPtnces stnnd like a rn"1' h- fc'i
old associates and refuse to consider their
displacement. I have seen him at great
cost to himself Insist on fair and liberal
treatment to his old emnloyes. No one who
knew him well has failed to note the af
fection and good fellowship which alwaya
existed between him and tils clowst friends.
They have been his drilly comrades for
many years, and no change of circum
stances has affected his loyalty to them.
He was always considerate of his sorlal
obligations and never forgot the amenities
due to other. The last words he said to
me when scarcely more than a week ago 1
left him In New York, were, "Goodby a
pleasant Journey home, and don't forget to
give my regards to Mrs. Wattles."
On rare occasions he gave his most Inti
mate associates an insight Into his great
heart and luid bare the Impulses which In
spired his many generouB acts. At such
times he spoke with reverence of his re
ligion as the Inspiration of his sainted
mother and of his love for his slaters and
of the rhild'en of one whom he almost
worshiped. He snoke of his abldlnar faith
in the world beyond, and at one time he re
coiled to me a stnnra from Brvant's "Tha
natopsls," which I will quote In closing as
a sentiment worthy of consideration by us
h'1 :
"So live that when thy summon come to
loin
The Innumerable caravan, which moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall
take
His chamber In tbe silent hall of death.
Thou go not like the onarrv slave at Hpht.
Scourred to his dungeon; but, sustained and
soothen
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy
Brave
Like one who wraps the drapery of hi
couch
About him and lie down to pleasant
creams."
Tribute from John I- Webster.
"Frank Murphy doserves a far better
tribute to his memory than I am . able to
give him this afternoon," said John I
Webster. "One who knew him, as I did, for
a great many years could not fall to be
come very strongly attached to him. ' I
feel that one of th best friend I hav had
has taken the last Journey to th land
from which no on return. It seem that
bf all the persons I have known there Is
none mors entitled to the enjoyment of all
the rlchea and the happlnea of a blessed
future.
We talk frequently of great men and
prominent men and the beauty and gran
deur of our particular calling, but th men
who acoompliah the great work In this
community or any other are those who look
after Its Industrial welfare. If the rest of
us, professional men and others, would
stop our work the world Would atlll roll
on, but If business would stop we all would
be nothing today. In that great common
vocation of men, Frank Murphy stood near
to th foremost, and If usefulness lu life
make a man great then Frank Murphy
was a great man. He did not only accumu
late a fortune for himself, but made us
of It so that hundred of other men found
employment and the means of a living. No
man in the city gave employment tit mor
men than Mr. Murphy did in the ntar-
prlaea he built up. H. had much to do
with th building up or thl city. Frank
Murphy and tbs men like him made Omaha
and th slat itself. He was a man with
warm heart, a man of energy, a true
friend, a worthy ctilxen and a great finan
cier. Indeed, I may say with perfect pro
priety that he waa one of the greatest clt
Uens the city of Omaha or the state of Ne
braska ever had."

thnt during a long life he attended with
out fail the services of hi church every
Sunday; that he never swerved from hlf sl
legtunce to the faith of his childhood; that
he profescved to live and hoped to die In
the church of his fathers, whose prnyers
he had learned at his mother's knee. But
all till Is of no public concern except In
sofar as all good men admire fidelity to
cherished convictions and recognize that
amidst the claims of business some place
should be found for the things of God.
"The book of his days closed suddenly.
Remote from his kindred he passed the
dread portals between life and death. Alone
he entered the rond which is soft only to
the footsteps of those who In life have
done well and In death follow the streaming
colors of Immortality. As friends of his,
we hope that all Is well with him tn that
mysterious world of which we are as cer
tain as we are of our existence. On a
bleak hillside he I laid away on a wintry
morning, while th tears of his loved ones
fall on his coffin; tho grave closes on his
J' nd sorrows, his ambitions, his loves,
i his hopes and his trials and his fears. The
Bculptor stands ready to carve his name
and his deeds on his tomb, As Christians
wo leave him face to face with his Maker;
as citizens we hasten back to meet together
and learn the lesson of his life. What
standard hav. we to guide us ln forming
our Judgment of him? Such a one as he
himself made his standard of success.
"A knowledge of man's working theory,
or Ideals, Is necessary to properly estimate
his character and worth; and therefore It
Is well that we huve among us those who
can do Justice to them In the caBe of the
departed. From tho addresses delivered
here today we have been enabled to form
some Idea of his measure of excellence, his
standard of success, and with the composite
pictures formed by many limners we can
carry away wh us thoughts that wtll
burn, reflections that will make our lives
better, and we are forced to think what
we should wish to have done to be hon
ored and loved by our fellow men after wt
have passed away."
' Dr. Miller a Lifelong Friend.
Dr. Miller apoke from an Intimate and
personal standpoint and visibly was much
affected. He told of his early acquaintance
with Mr. Murphy when the latter came to
Omaha forty-eight years ago; of their life
long friendship and the beautiful devotion
of Mr. Murphy to the members of hi fftm.
"At the ogre of 18 the neceaslty of work
ing was borna upon him," said Df. Miller,
"and he began his tank as a breadwinner.
He always hud a singular devotion to his
kindred, thla love finding beautiful ex
pression in tho provisions for his sisters
and others during his lifetime among us.
I saw Mr. Murphy in all relations of dis
comfort and hupplneas. I was associated
with him ln ways and under circumstances
that made his death come to me with a
shock that deeply wounds. Th tie that
bound me to him and the other member
of his family o intimately connected with
the forming of this city and state make
this a sad day for me.
"Mr. Murphy achieved grand results in
his life. Hs was a man with a patience al
most unhsard of and ha won th great
prises in business by risking hla money ln
the street railway and gas enterprise
when every other man hesitated and did
not want to take them up. He was a
thinker, not an orator. The gnsatest thing
about him, perhaps, was his faith In the
development and future of this city."
