CORRICK TALKS OF COLONEL
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Lec. 81. (Special. )-Thcre
la a deep atmosphere of mystery in the
democratic camp today. The conference
of Governor Morehead and Mayor Charlea
Rvan yesterday and on top of that a
hurried visit to Lincoln today of C. M.
Sklles of. David City, who has been
hobnobbing with politicians, has led to
the belief that something will be turned
loose In the democratic camp very
shortly.
The fact that some of the so-called
leaders In Lincoln arc not in on the deal
has made the situation all the more com
plicated, for nobody acems to know Just
when it will happen.
Some are of the opinion that another
concerted effort is being made to spring
a demand for Governor Morehead to get
into the race for a third term. It la even
Intimated that the demand will be backed
up by an even stronger force than
prompted the governor to change his
mind two years ago. but where it will
come from or In what manner It will
come is the great secret.
Corrlck Sera T. H. la Rare.
It In the opinion of Frank P. Corrlck,
who has Just returned from a six weeks'
sojourn In the east, whve he hobnobbed
with politicians of all kiids, that Theo
dore Roosevelt will be the republican
nominee for the presidency.
Mr. Corrlck bases his prediction on opin
ions expressed by business men, who,
while business has been pretty good dur
ing the last year, do not lay it to any
conditions resulting from the work or
policy of the democratic administration,
but rather to the result of conditions
brought on by the war in Kurope.
Business men of the eant, Mr. Corrlck
says, are almost universally for prepar
edness and preparedness of the kind ad
vocated largely by the Oyster Bay states
man. They are not In sympathy with
the manner in which the situation lias
been handled in the controversies with
belligerent nations and say that with
Roosevelt In the presidential chair a pol
icy would be carried out that would count
for results.
This would not mean war, they believe,
but they think the offending nations
know Teddy so well that they would
know better than to dllly dally along
and would understand that what Mr.
Roosevelt laid down would have to be
followed out and there would be no high
worded communications ably couched In
grammatical words which had a mean
ingless end,
Mr. Corrlck says that most of the senti
ment for the peace program has come
from the middle west and that tie east
and the Pacific coast states are 'not In
sympathy with it.

Don't Suffer NfdUatly
An eminent physician slules thai fully
95 of all diseases have their origin in
stomach troubles, so if you suffer from
dyspepsia, indigestion, bad breath, belch
ing, sour stomach, uncomfortable feel
ing of fullness after eating, sleepless
ness or tired feeling, you should prompt
ly seek to aid your stomach in perform
ing tha functions that nature intended.
Delay often results In a rapid undermin
ing of the entire system, resulting in
the utter wrecking of health. However,
whenever the stomach can take care of
food and properly distribute nourishment
to all parts of the body a healthy con
dition is sure to result. Stomach suffer
ers should avoid harsh purgatives, which
generally servo to aggravate the trouble,
and promptly give TABLER'H BTOM
Alil TABLETS a trial. Being abso
lutely free from harmful and habit
forming drugs and containing the bct

their action while mild, cannot help be
