ONLY SYMPATHY FOR A FELLOW MAN flaase of Commons Proceeds with Its , t sna Red-Tap Roatlae 'While Waiting; for News front tha Kins;. LONDON, June 25. Of the scene In the House of Commons when the announcement ot the Illness ot King Edward was made, T. P. O'Connor, Irish Nationalist member and president ot the Irish National league, has written the following account tor the Associated Press: The " worfc-a-day world goes on in Its usual way, whatever tragedy he In the air, which will probably be true of the Hr.ire of Commons, which Is even yet bound iluWn with the Iron rules that no high destiny or national crisis can unbind. ' Thus It waa today when the" whole of London was shaken by the announcement of the postponement of the coronation and the serious Illness of the king, for which everybody was waiting to reei the ministers enter and hear some news one way or the other. A clerk at a table read out the words of a proclamation from a provincial town council, regarding an educational Mil. The educational bill Is Important, hut to have thla presentation with Its Oier.ry tautology read when the fate of the mon arch waa In the balance waa one of those grotesque contradictions which exasperaied and tlnally got on the nerves of the house. Hut as the clerk read stolidly on In a muffled voice the house began at ittst to Interrupt him with dlscordnt and even Indecorous cries, and while the tiouie was thus descending into chaotic and undignified disorder the ministers were still absent from their places and the house was ftlU left without news. Profoand Depression In Honse. But in spite of all this, and In spits of vpn thr discordant and orotesaue shouts. there was that about the place which showed that something was In the air that shocked, saddened and even aft rlghtf ncd men. It is no exaggeration to say that there was ft look of far more profound depression about the house than even In those awful and trying hours for English men when the disasters of Colens.i and Splonkop seemed to make the whole tabrlc of the empire reel. Many members entered the house as if Illness were theirs and as if a blow had fallen on them. The local petition was at last finished, the cries ceased and there fell a somber and solemn stillness on the house when Mr. Balfour and the other ministers filed in. Spontaneously and universally hate were taken off when Mr. Balfour rose and an nounced that he had a message to dol'.ver In reference to the king. .... Tha limine r,t Commons always looks Its best and most Impressive when it Is thus unfovered. it is the custom ior na;s to be kept on, and therefore the mere act .of imrnvnHnr hpnrla irlves to the familiar place a certain unusualness of look and a certain solemn exaltation, and so It was today when Mr. uairour arose. Balfonr for Once Is Moved. Mr. Ralfour is not a man who ever shows much feeling, and it Is said of him by some of his most severe critics that he has much sentiment but no feeling. Today, however. nobody could oeny tnai ior ince ir. mi four seemed to be moved, and it was with something of a break In his voice that he announced the seriousness of the king's condition and the fact that the operation had been aireaay perrormea. Mr Halfmira statement occupied but a few moments and It was followed by a few words from Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man, the leader of the opposition, and then the wnoie scene was ovrr. u iw uui a. few moments and but for the general air of the house, to which I haye alluded, the scene was not' Impressive. ' There was no display oi reeling until mr, Balfour came to the point where be fore shadowed the statement that the aurgeons were hopeful of the result. It waa an evi dence ot how keen the feeling was that he was not allowed to conclude his sentence. There was an anticipatory and big out burst of cheers from all parts ot the house. Red Tape Not Omitted. The house then went on with the discus sion ot the educational bill in lta many de tails, somberly, but regularly and prosaic ally, as If nothing had occurred. But there was a certain llelesin,ess .in it all and, as M- tisttai wnen someuiiug .tragic is in ine air, the real life of the house was in the lobbies and not on the floor. The members gathered in groups and King Kdward was the one topic of conversation. There waa nothing but regret and sympathy: the tmiif elements of the case broke down all barriers and men only thought of their suf fering fellowman struca oown ai me mo ment when, if ever, the hand of cruel fate ought to have been stayed. ' The excitement was urougni iu a i-umax when a report spread like wildfire that the king was sinking and this was soon fol lowed by a report that his majesty waa ac tually dead. A shiver aa of the passing of' the angel of death then passed over every hrwiv and the members of the house rushed hither and thither, but with that charac teristic quiet ana apparent want or. emo tion which nguenmen so rareiy lose. Scene In Honse of Lords.',: Tha olace to tto at that moment for the latest information was the House of Lords. The false report or King tilwaroi death came at 4:20 o'clock and at 4:30 the House of Lords began Its sitting-. There waa an unusually full attendance and so many ladles pressed for admission that they had to be remonstrated with sy the attendants and the poor things were rather hustled. The piers had to m-gin, like tne com mons, with some commonplace business, the reading In dumb show of some docu ments and other trivialities,, but this did not last Ion sr. Lord Soeneer is now the leader of the liberal warty In the House of Lords, the earl hf "Klrfiberley is dead and Lord Rosebery haa retired. h Lord Spear re r used to be 'a regular Rufus. with rd hair and long flowing red beard and he was' calieatne "tien can" in' ine days' when Ireland waa In the throes ot tho great struggle of the land league. But he has grown gray with, the . years, and today when - he arose he was pallid and evidently unnerved. He asked the Ques tion with Just a sentence-and a half of sympathy, after the terse fashion of ungnanmen. uora ciansoury was more lengthy. Indeed, to tell the truth, he ap- fieared to many aa if he were clumsily ooklng around for words, and as if his usual felicity of language had deserted him. Little Iran? of Life. It was not an Impressive scene, but waa thouaht to be rather more strlklna than the scene In the House of Commons, and here comes one of the little Ironies of life. Tea on the terrace, one of London's most fashionable gatherings; has been al most abolished this year by the bad weather. Today the sun was biasing, with the result that the lalea came out like butterflies after a suower. and never was the terrace so thronged, so gay and ao tumultuous aa on this day of flight and grief. There was something mournful as well aa striking In the scene,' and If any thing were wanting to make It more mournful It was the gay bunting, the Venetian masts and the glaring colors of tne aecorations on Westminster cringe, which meets the skyline from the terrace. The flans flapped lastly in the sultry air. the vast crowds uassed slowly bv. and the huge and groaning buses tstood In rows of six and seven at a time. The tide of life flowed on strong end tumultuous and tne King is ngmipg .witn oeatn, . t K. W. Grove. ... This name must appear on every box ot the genuine Laxative Broao-Qulnlne Tab lets, the remedy that cures a cold In one day. 26 cents. ' : ' HYMENEAL t GrlfBth-Maore. WJfMORE, sb., June 25.

Applause. Word About Taft. And, well. Taft, Judge Taft. Governor Taft, who has been the head of the Philip pine commission and who has gone back there; Taft, the most brilliant graduate of his year at Yale, the youngest Yale man whom that Institution ever conferred ih-y degree of LL. D., a man who, having won high position at the bar and th?n served as solicitor general with ull his tastta Impelling him to a judicial career and was appointed to the United S'ates bench, was asked to give up the position In order to go to the other side of the world to take up an Infinitely difficult and Infinitely dangerous problem and to do h's best to solve Tt. He has done his best. Ha came back here the other day. The man haa always had the honorable ambition to get upon the supreme court, and he knew that I had always hoped he would bo put upon the supreme court, and when tlisre was a question of a vacancy arising I i?ald to him: "Governor, I think I ought to tell you that a vacancy comes In the supreme court while tt ' would' give you an oppor tunity to be put In the ' position ybu'uwontd like to have., I think X ought ,tq uij you that If such a vacancy should ocftir ;I flo not see how I could possibly give It to you for I need you where you are." He said to me: "Mr. President, It has always been my dream to he In the u- Jreme court, but if you should offer me a ustlceshlp now, and at the same time congress should take off entirely my rnlary as governor I should go straight back to the Philippines nevertheless, for those pco- rile need me and expect me back and bc ieve I will not desert them." (Applause ) He has gone back, gone as a strong friend among weaker friends to help them upward along the stony and difficult path of self-government. (Applause.) To do his part, and a great part. In making ' the American name a symbol of honor and grod faith In the Philippine Islands, to govern with justice and wijh that firmness, that absence of weaknesa which Is only another side of justice. (Applause.) He has gone back to do all of that because It is his duty as he sees it. We are to be congratulated, we Americans, that we have a fuiow American like Taft. - . Kind Words for Root. And now. Ellhu Root, who unlike myself, Mr. President Eliot, but like most of you present, comes of the old New England stock, whose great grandfather stood be side Ieonard Wood'a great grandfather at Concord Bridge (appiaiise)r Ellhu Root, who had worked his way up from being a poor and unknown country boy In New York to a position where In a year or two he had the leadership of the bar for the great city in his grasp, gave It up. made wry grat pecuniary sacrifice implied in giving tt up, and accepted .the position under President MoKlnley ot secretary of war, a position which for the last three years and at pres ent amounts to being not only the secre tary of war, but the secretary for the Islands, the secretary for the colonies at the same time; who has done the most exhausting and most responsible wotk of any man In the administration, more so than the work of the president, because circumstances have been auch that with a man of Root's wonderful ability, industry and conscientiousness the president could not help but devolve upon him work that made hla task one under which almost any other man I know would have staggered. He has done that and done It absolutely disinterestedly. Nothing can come to Root in the way of reward save that which is Implied in the knowledge that he haa done that which hardly any other man In the union -could have done aa well. Having brought before him continuously questions of the utmost intricacy to decide, questions upon which life and death hang, questions the decision of which will affect our who'e future policy, questions that affect the wel fare of the millions of people with whom we have been brought Into aunh intimate contact by the events of the Spanish war and whose welfare must be a prime con sideration from now on. He has done rill that with the certainty of attack, with the certainty of misunderstanding, with the certainty of being hampered by Ignorance, and worse than Ignorance; that he coull not do the best that waa In him, only tt-e best that conditions would a'low of. It was all Abraham Lincoln could do. Inci dentally, he has done all. Taft has done M. Wood has done It. These three mrn have rendered that service. I can do noth ing for them. I can show my appreciation of them In no wav save the wholly Insuffi cient one of standing tip for hem and for their works, and that I will do. . (Long and continuous applause.) The closing speech was by Secretary Hay Tha after-dinner exercises were abruptly ended owing to the lateness of the hour by the benediction by Rev. Dr. Gordon. From the hall the president went to the. chapter house of the Alta Delta Phi, where he. pre sented on behalf of the alumni a gold medal to Dr. Edward Everett Hale. As the president entered, the housethe kyiie ws sung. The party went to the chapter room, where Colonel Huggins in troduced the president. The president said: Dr. Hale, I know I speak what not on'y each one of ua here feels, but what tens of thousands of those outside feel vhen I say how keen our pleasure Is on holni; given the chance of honoring iur8i-lvs in honoring you. Of course I waa brought up on your books, sir. I would be wliollv un able to explain the debt I owe you, not oijy for the particular Influence you wrought, but the whole spirit that went through all your writings. Let me tell you of on lit tle, small particular debt I hold. At ih time when I had the honor of reviving jlils club here the first thing we did wss to tr.k? It and go In a body to a public building at which Mr. Hale presided and I nude ihe first spch I ever made, one whoso ex treme badness wss only relieved by lis brevity. (Applause.) Rev. Dr. Hale made a response to ths KUt la word full of feeling. BACKACHE? Men and women who sufTcr intense ly palnsin the back have kidney disease and It should not bo neglected.

ARMOUR TAKES OMAHA PLANT Eeport From Chicago of Absorption of Omaha Packing & Provision Company. INVOLVES PLANTS HERE AND IN CHICAGO Loral Manauer ' for Armour t'nable to Confirm Itepiirt, bat Admits There Has Pern Talk of Snch a Deal. CHICAGO, June 25. (Special Telegram.) Armour has bought Into the Omaha Pack ing company,' according to the authorities in packing circles. It was a very Impor tant part of the Fowler Bros', limited properties. Swift and Company took the Anglo-American property proper; Armour, according to report, haa taken the Omaha Packing company. The Anglo-American property will' cost Swift and Company about ,3,000,000. ' The Omaha Packing company was to have been taken over last May by a syndicate headed by 'Ira- M.- Cobej 'which '-propafd : t issue 2(000)00 preferred stock and (t.OJQ.OOO -common. 'So that it looka as It Armour and Swift were dividing -the packing spoils. . The Omaha Packing company has always made money and was a prize which has always been eyed by the whole group of packers. It has a fine packing plant at Archer avenue outside of the stock yards. It gets its hogs direct and pays no tolls to the stock yards company, and thla sav ing has always been counted a handsome thing. It has also Its establishment at Omaha. The company has been managed very successfully by E. T. Robblns: and the business of V lies It Robblns and the Omaha Packing company are linked to gether. i "I have recently sold some of my stock ip the Omaha Packing company," was the statement Mr. Robblns made tonight when asked as to the reported purchase by Ar mour & Co. "I do not care to give, as yet, the purchasers." : Evidently it Is the Intention of the big packing ' companies to take over all the smaller ones that can be bought and nar row the field down to the lowest possible limits. When that is -done a general con solidation will be far easier than It would be under present circumstances. Robert C. Howe of Omaha, general man ager of Armour & Co.'s interests here, stated last night to a Bee reporter that he knew nothing of the reported deal. He aald there had been rumors to this effect, he knew, but whether the transaction had actually taken place, be could not say. THINGS WE LIKE BEST Why is it They so Seldom Agree With Us? What's the reason the things we like best bo seldom seem to agree with us? Maybe it's because we overeatof them. Then follows a fit of indigestion. Only lasts a day or two perhaps. But it's a most uncomfortable day or two. We don't mean to abuse our stomachs but we all do it more or less. We see things we want and can't resist the longing for them. When It's too late we regret our rashness. But there's a way to escape the conse quences of such indiscretions. A dose of a good digestaut like Kodol Dys pepsia .Cure will relieve you at once. Indigestion is always due to the sarnecause. Your stomach is too weak to digest what you eat. It needs rest. You can't rest it by going without food. That would mean starvation. But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will rest it. It does -the stomach's work. In the mean time the tired organ is gaining fresh strength. Before long It will be as strong as ever. You don't have to diet. Kodol Dyspppsla Cure will di gest any kind of wholsome food. I had stomach trouble four years,' says Ceo. K-Ooloath, Alpena, Mli-li.. "whloo ns so bad thai at times i was forced to remain In bed.
