LIEUT. GOV. LEE OUT.
.A
Sensational Climax to Recent
Exciting Experiences.
Sandfly Ito Tailed Ills Ilrqljrimtlon to Got
Doekcry Senator JParrln Sulci to Have
Acted us Disbursing Agent
for Kolloy. '
i ,St. Louis, April 27. Lieut. Gov.
l'j7'1. A T l.H ...ti.tinil Tftu Tnatrr..
auiiu jv. uu una ixniyiitin " (
nation was innilcd nt three ociocic
yesterday afternoon to Gov. Dockery
nt Jefferson City. It bore a special
-delivery stamp and was delivered to
the governor before he went to his
ofilce this morning. It becomes im
mediately operative, under the law,
without nny action on the part of
the governor. By operation of the
constitution Senator Thomas L.
Itubcy, of Macon county, president
PRANK H. FARUIS.
.pro tern, of the senate, who repra
scnts the Ninth senatorial district,
succeeds Lee. Senator liubey is re-
rgurdcd as one of the foremost men
in the senate and his legislative rec-
ord is without spot or stain.
John A. Lee is said to have admitted
that he had aided Daniel J. Kelley,
the legislative agent of the baking
powder trust, in disbursing money
used to defeat the repeal of the anti-
. alum bill in the state assembly ol
1901. Lee, according to one source
of information, about March 18, 1901,
received from Legislative Agent Kel
ley $10,000. It was all in bills of de
nominations of $100 or less, and was
igivcn to Lee with the express under
standing that he should distribute it
among the senators. This was when
tho first repeal bijl was introduced,
.and it is nllcge'd that Lee accepted
the money at a hotel in this city and
two days later repaired to tho La-
clede Ijotel, where he had called o
meeting of the "anti-alum combine."
Some information, secured here, is
mot Inconsistent with the theory that
Farris may have dono what Leo is
accused of doing, "knocking down."
He deposited $-1,000 in one bank the
-day ho reached home from the legis
lature, but it was checked down to
about $1,000 in a very short time. The
legislature adjourned March 19. Lee
says he paid off on March 20. Fnrris
made the deposit on March 21. Ho ii
supposed to have left the Laclede
Iiotel with $.r),000 in his possession,
"the money to be used by himself and
certain other senators, members of
the same committee.
SECRETARY HAY DEPRESSED.
CTo Hcllovcft Tim t Kuropo's Kelntlon to China
Is I'uroly Selfish nnd 'Will Kcsolvo Into
a Volley of "Grab."
Washington, April 27. The tone of
the press advices from tho European
capitals have done much to depress
officials here who have labored so
long to preserve the integrity oi
China. It begins to appear to them
that Manchuria is hopelessly lost to
China and the best that eon be dono
How is to save as much as possible
from the wreck and therefore the
effort will probably bo made to pro
cure from Itussia a binding promise
that the powers will not be entirely
deprived of the right to exploit Man
churla commercially. The fear is
expressed that the Russian movement
will be copied by other nations and
that Germany will proceed to extend
her sphere of influence in the Shan
'Tung peninsula while Franco will
overlap the border of Tonquin.
AND THIS IN ILLINOIS.

-but so far as known none was killed.
Hundreds of shots were exchanged,
'but no whites were hurt.
MORE CROOKEDNESS.
Witnesses Testified That the Kccnrds of
tho Missouri Scnnto AVoro t'nlslllud
Two Yours Ako.
St. Louis, April 28. Witnesses tes
tified before the St. Louis grand jury
yesterday that the records of tho
.Missouri senate were falsified two
years ago to make the journal show
that the alum bill had been reported
by tho committee of criminal juris
prudence before final adjournment.
The senate journal, it is said, shows
that the bill was reported before the
senate adjourned, when in fact it
was held until the senate had passed
out of existence as a law-making
body and then placed on the records
as of a date several days before.
The grand juries of St. Louis and
Cole county will inquire further into
this new development of the ensc.

lature. They will apply to the su
preme court for release on habeas
corpus proceedings to-day. Ilickox

dict was rendered, but he refused
to divulge how lie came in posses
sion of the money.

ROADS ARE WARNED.
Federal Judges Issue Restraining
Orders Under the Elkins Law.
Must Not Discriminate Agnlnst Small Ship
pers In Western Territory Duty of
Government to Act for In
dividuals. Chicago, April 25. Judge Gr6sscup
Friday entered an order in tho United
States circuit court of appeals en
joining six railroad companies from
discriminating against small shippers
in tho western territory. The de
cision is especially important as be
ing the first under the new law.
Tho government, according to tho
decision, is entitled to the injunction
against tho offending railroads under
the interstate commerce act, as well
as the Elkins law. The ruling applies
to 14 railroads which were covered
by proceedings instituted in tho
federal court. Six of these com
panies were defendant in tho local
court. The others are under tho
jurisdiction of the Kansas City
federal court. Judge Grosscup
announced that he and Judge Philips
were of one mind relative to all the
points imolvcd and that the latter
would render a like decision.
The decision holds thnt the govern
ment has the right to bring an
action in equity to, restrain railroad
companies from discriminating either
by furnishing lower rates or giving
rebates to favored shippers. It
further declares that while each
injured citizen has a right to such re
lief in hjs own behalf, in cases like
those under consideration, the in
jured persons are so numerous and
the injury to each is so infinitesimal,
thut it is tho duty of the government
to act for them under the power
Bpccificnllyconforrcd by the statutes.

Its Presiding Ofllcer.
Springfield, HI., April 25. The Illi
nois house of representatives yester
day by n vote of 72 to 00 declared
"no confidence" in Its presiding ofll
cer, Speaker John II. Miller, whose
alleged unwarranted use of the gavel
in furthering a proposed enactment
affecting street railway franchises in
Chicago led to a riot Thursday. A
committee of five, all personal fol
lowers of tho speaker, had been ap
pointed by him to investigate the
charges of attempted bribery in con
nection with the passage of the
Mueller Traction bill. There was u
strong feeling among the anti-Millet
legislators that there was a possibil
ity of a whitewash, and stops were
token to increase the committee in
such ti manner as to have the speak
er's appointees in a minority if any
thing in the ljne of a whitewash
should be attempted. The Miller
men fought hard to retain the com
mittee ns originally appointed, but
were outvoted and the report of the
committee was made a special order
for next Tuesday morning.

A nervous, irritablo mother, often on tho vorgo of hysterics, is
unfit to caro for children; it nuns a child's disposition and reacts
upon herself. Tho trouble between children and their mothers
too ofton is duo td tho fact that tho mother has somo fomalo
"weakness, and sho is entirely unfit to boar tho strain upon her norvea
that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything
calmly. Sho cannot help it, as her condition is duo to suffering and
shattered norves caused by somo derangement of tho uterine system
with backacho, headache, and all kinds of pain, and sho is on tho vorgo
of nervous prostration.
When a mothor finds that sho cannot bo calm and quiob with her
children, sho may bo sure that her condition needs attention, and sho can
not do better than to tako kydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
This medicine will build up her system, strengthen hor norves, and
enable hor to calmly handle a disobediont child without a scene. Tho
children will soon realizo tho difference, and seeing their mothor quiet,
will themselves becomo quiot.
