The situa tion in the contests for governor and the state officers and the question of what la going to happen -when tlnS final 'result ' Is declared are tonight fruitful of the most cx- tiavngant speculntlon. If the adherents of the coiitestccs , the republican Incumbents of the state offices , carry out the line of pro cedure they now threaten not to vacate , in case the legislature decides In favor of the democratic contestants , the situation will be serious and If the statements of some of the men , high In the councils of the stale , are to be credited , this Is what they pro pose to do. K. J. Hampton , secretary of the republican falalo central committee , said this afler- noon that the talk of holding an antl-GoebcI btalu convention here next week was purely an Invention , but he predicted that bevcral thousand nntl-Goebel men from all parts of Ihe sl.ile would be here to protest by their piesence against unseating Taylor nnd Mar shall , anil to sustain them If the legislature votes to turn them out. Ho denied that any of those here now arc soldiers In citi zens clothes , ns charged by the Gocbcl democrats. James Andrew Scott , one of the attornej's for the contestants in minor atato contests , said tonight : "The Impottatlon of soldiers and thugs hoio for Ihe purpose of inllmldntlng the nuthorltles ivill not work. They are bluff ing and no trouble will occur. As for their threats that they will hold on-Jn spite of the decision by the legislature they may do this for n few dajs , but the courts will recognize the regular state government nnd If Taylor docs not then give In he will sub ject himself to prosecution nnd nil of the penalties against usurpation , which I have no Idea ho will want to encounter. " Most of the democratic loaders coincide. rorraer Governor Dradley nnd all of the republican leaders hold that the contest pro ceedings are being conducted In an arbi trary manner , without regard to the law , and that for these reasons the decision , If adverse to Taylor , should not be binding on him. They Hie a bill of specincutlons as lo their objections to the trial of the contesls and Iho reasona.why the proceedings are all Illegal. These aio that the democratic members of the legislature , with n few exceptions , had their minds made up and were com mitted In advance of the filing of the con tests to vote to seat Gocbcl and Ilcckhnm , that the committees trying the contests are fraudulently constituted nnd can have no just powers , because of the fraudulent man ner In which they were drawn as charged by the republicans nnd not denied by Clerk Leigh , that the time allowed for taking evi dence Is so short ns to practically amount to n denial to tbo contestants of the right to prove their cases and that the refusal to accept their depositions an evidence operate * In the same manner. The sum total of all these , according to Governor Taylor's nt- lornevs , brings the case within some of the Inhibitions of the f-urtccnth amendment of the federal constitution.

Asked about his Mlnneap- oils Inlervlow , In which he was reported as expressing views favorable to expansion , Mr. Bryan said : "I have not eecn the Interview as sent out by the Associated I'rres.

I hnvo for ono year been dlbcutmlng Im perialism nnd I have tried to distinguish between such an extension of the nation's limits ns would not change the character of the government , and an expansion which converts a homogeneous republic Into a hcierogcncous umpire. When the annexa tion of any given territory Is under con sideration the question Is , first , whether the peopln want to come In , and. vecond , whether tbo people are capable of sharing In the government nnd destiny of this nation I believe that nil people arc capible of governing themselves nnd that tht > Filipinos should be allowed to govern themselves , but I do not think they nre sufficiently advanced to share with ui In the government of the nation.

It Is an easy matter to treat symptoms \ toms and give n patient relief , but In order to restore permanently to health the cause of the disease must be removed. The stomach ach In health performs ccitaln functions of digestion. As soon as the food enters the stomach the glands begin to secrete their various julcce and contluo to do BO until the food passes Into the upper bowel. In order to know whether the stomach juices are present In excess or diminished In quantity we use methods that tell u.s exactly I One way Is to gho a "Tin- Tout "test breakfast , " which llrciikfiiHt. " consists of a nmall roll and n glass of water or tea. About an hour after the meal is taken the contents of the stomach ach Is withdrawn by n small flexible tube which does not cause even an unpleasant sensation and Is not objected to by the riost sensitive person. * * * * * * * The stomach ccntenis Chemical thus obtained are examined anil Other TVNtn ined by chemical analysis and by the microscope In such manner as to find out the amount of hjdiochlorlc acid a-id whether the food has undergone fermenta tion , causing bloating , sour stomach , nausea , etc. We learn also In regard to the motor , or muscular , function of the organ. Wo determine whether the food , after being acted upon by the \arlous Julcco , remains In the stomach or is properly expelled. In other words , whether the stomach empties Itself In a normal or healthful manner. After learning just what the stomach neo's .Mm lit tbo patient Is placed on u Trral MICH ) diet which his stomach can digest and the vari ous secretions are lii- creabed or diminished In a way that makes them normal In ttinntlly. ] In ordinary cases medlclneb nnd proper regulation of diet will remove the trouble. In old nnd very ob stinate conditions lho Inner surfaces of the stomach and bowelb are cooled with n thick mucus which Is In fact a Iruo cntarrh of the stomach. The tubes of the liver are fre quently affected In Ihe sime way. Cases of this kind often require Irrlgnllon or Ihe washing out of Ihe utomuch. This Is ac complished In a simple and easy manner and in n way which dispenses with the Use of the stomach pump. * * * * * * * After occupjlng Ihe 1 Fame aullo of rooms In Our \c\\ building for eight years _ Dr. Shepard has moved his olllces to rooms 306 , 307. 308 New York Life building , third floor.
