What I wanted Is permlislon to make
larger lery for (Ire. water, police, street
repairs and street light. There I con
stant demand from the people for Improve
ments and the money can only be secured
by levying taxes. Very likely at the fall
lection a proposition villi be submitted
to the people to vote on an Isiu of bonds
to take up th overlap and provide money
to pay Interest. At th present Urn the
general bonded debt of the city is I30T,
000, and the district Indebtedness la $226,
000. With an Issue et bonds, such as Is
contemplated the Interest could be greatly
reduced and thua there would be a saving
to th taxpayers. Thi council proposes
to exercise the utmost economy In all de
partments thts year In order to further
reduce th levy next rear. With an In
crease In valuation which Is expected It Is
thought that th levy next year will be
cut to 7 mills. This will be an assured
fact provided th people will vte bond
this fall to take up the overlap and pro
vide for Interest due on outstanding bonds.

MINNEAPOLIS. July .Hlgh water

Education aesoclatlon convention baa
probably been attained and It la assured
that th attendance record haa been
broken. Tha visitors In th city today
were estimated at considerably over 20.000.
A good-natured rivalry has sprung up be
tween Iowa and Wisconsin for the largest
delegation from any other state other' than
Minnesota. Each state clalma 2,000
present. Indiana will probably hold third
place.
Th department meeting were all well
attended today and there were fifteen of
them. Tomorrow there will be thirteen
meetings and Friday, when the convention
closes, there will be twelve. The feature
of the day waa the great meeting of the
general association tonight In the Expo
sition building. The attendance did not
fall far short of 10,000 people.
Hon. Michael Ernest Sadler, L.L. D.,
director of inquiries and reports of the
education office, London, England, waa the
first speaker, and taking as hla theme,
"Hope," tor nearly an hour held hla audi
ence with one of the most thoughtful and
scholarly addresses delivered as yet before
th association. He spoke of educational
work In England and showed clearly that
there Is close relationship between the
work and the workers In the two countries
and that great good would result from aa
Interchange of Ideaa, suggestions and ex
perience. The principal addresa of th session was
delivered by Archbishop John Ireland of
St. Paul. The well known cliurcbman and
orator was at his best and was given
warm reception by the great aasemblage.
Chief Virtue of the Preacher.
"Devotion to th Truth, the Chief Virtu
of the Preacher," waa the aubject of the
archblahop'a addresa. Particular Intereat
was shown In the archbishop's reference to
the Spanieh-Amerlcan war and to condl
tlons in the Philippines. He aaid In part:
I am one of those who see In the se
qi ence of the late 8panish-Amerlcan war

tha exacererated statements, the lies, too

manipulators of public opinion. I know for
a fact that tne instructions going irura mo

schools, manual training, music and Indian
education. In the afternoon the following
held meetings: Higher education, art.

The feature of the normal school meeting

System of Supervision.
Jame Remsen of Cincinnati aroused the
enthusiasm of the secondary educational
department by hla demand for closer
system of supervision of achoola by the

given rlss to confusion and lack of co

clared, do not supervise thoroughly and
well because too small and underpaid.
In the department of business education
the president, I. O. Crlssy of th regents
office, Albany, N. T., said that a commit

a general course of procedure and detailed
courses of study for business education In

Digests
what yona
Eat

We have beard a great deal about "heart
to heart talk." The little talka where
people get right down to honest reason, to
common sense.
Ton hare no doubt at some time or other
experienced the annoying and painful symp
toms of indigestion. Digestion ts the pro
cess by which naturs transforms our food,
by means of various Juices called digestants,
Into blood which Is then carried throughout
the body and used to make flesh, muscle,
bone, nerve, brain and material of every
kind of which the body la composed.
Indigestion may arise from a variety of
causes, but generally because some of the
elements which make up the digestive Juices
are lacking.
Undigested food gives you all kinds of
trouble.
In the first place you hare a most distress
ing feeling In your stomach, especially after
eating. Soon this undigested food ferments,
the gas distends the stomach, and In its ef
forts to escape, It causes belching. It also
causes a pressure against the nerves and
arteries leading to the heart, giving rise In
the mlud of the sufferer to the Idea that he
has heart trouble. Nothing could befurther
from correct. Most supposed heart trouble
is nothing more nor less than Indigestion.
Of course that Is serious enough but you
want to know where tha seat of the trouble
Is, so you can treat It properly.
Again, such food as should be digested In
the stomach but Is not digested there, passes
Into the Intestines ana bowels where It
causes more trouble. The bowels become
constipated or "clogged up", the waste
matter Is not passed off but Is to some extent
absorbed back In the system. This poisons
the blood. Then what can you expect? Can
any person think that this poisoned blood
can make healthy flesh, healthy bone, healthy
kidneys, healthy liver, healthy heart, or a
clear, healthy, active brain Is it any
wonder that ninety Ato per cent of the
American people have bodily afflictions?
The whole point Is this. If people would
digest their food properly mot human Ills
would disappear.
You no doubt would cure your indigestion
If you knew how, wouldn't youf Certainly.
Now if the digestive Juices or fluids are
lacking but we substitute something com
posed of exactly the same elements or In
gredients, Isn't it common sense that the
result will be the same? If a certain
combination of elements will complete
ly digest food in a glass tube or la a
bottle, under proper conditions, Isn't It
common sense that the same elements will
digest the food In the stomach Of course
it Is; it can't help It. Several years were
expended In perfecting a preparation that
would do this very thing. The result waa
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It contains every
element necessary to the complete and per
fect digestion of all classes of food.
It permits you to eat all the good food you
want and digest every particle of it without
any aid whatever from the stomach, allow
ing the digestive organs to rest and regain
their normal healthy condition and strength.
By digesting all you eat, Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure tones up the entire system. It will
give you life, health, strength, ambition, a
good appetite, sound, healthful sleep and
pure, rich blood that will enable nature to
correct many ills to which the other organs
of your body may be subject.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure never falls to cure
dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach troubles,
even after all other medicines have failed.
Can there be any possible reason why it
will not cure you?

Dear Sirs: I had suffered for years with
stomach trouble and after doctoring with
several doctors who did me no good and af
ter being in bed three weeks at one time
when I could eat nothing, and my heart
troubled me and ached so at times that I
thought I wasjrolng to die, a friend recom

I began taking the first bottle, I commenced
to improve at once and my appetite began
to Improve. Now after taking two bottles,
I am so that I can eat anything and every
thing. I eannot recommend too highly the
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure to all sufferers with
stomach trouble and Indigestion, and would
say to all that If you will only try it, you
will be cured as I am now, after having
spent hundreds of dollars with doctors ana

Dear Sirs; It gives me great pleasure to
write you concerning the good qualities of
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I had a stomach
trouble of four years standing, which was
so bad at times I was forced to abandon
business and remain in bed.
I had tried physicians and all kinds of
dyspepsia tablets In vain. At last through
the recommendation of my druggist I tried
a bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. The ef
fect was highly gratifying, as I received Im
mediate relief and less than two bottles ef
fected a complete cure.
I never travel without a bottle of Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure In my valise. It does the
work quickly and thoroughly and I cannot
say too much In its praise. Yours truly

MARE TERMS OF SURRENDER
Strong Efforts Bs ng Made by Colombian
Government for Peace.
OFFERS REBELS COMPLETE AMNESTY
Promts is Also Made to Reform Ex-
la tin a; Electoral Laws Over Which
the Revolatlonlsts Have Been
Fighting.
WASHINGTON. July 9. Senor Don Jose
Concha, the Colombian minister at Wash
ington, today mads the following statement
regarding the terms offered the revolution
ists la Colombia if they will surrender
and of tha existing conditions in that
country:
Tha Colombian government haa offered
to the rebels complete amnesty, freedom
of prisoners, help for transportation of the
chiefs and soldiers of the rebel army to
their domiciles, with true security for
their persons and property, reform of the
electoral laws, with the Intervention of
th prominent members of the revolution
ary party, Immediate convocation of con
gress and guarantees of liberty and secur
ity of suffrage In tha next elections. The
Colombian president, 8enor Marroquin, was
not In office when the revolution started
la 1899, and what ho offers today waa the
aame be offered during bla first adminis
tration In 189S. The liberal directory in
Bogota has accepted the terma offered by
the president and great number of heada
of guerrillas In the center of the country
hav surrendered, but the leader of the
rebellion abroad, Senor Vargas Santos, has
aaked for the payment of the debta con
tracted In foreign countries by the rebels
and for th appointment of aeveral mem
bera of the reV1' forces to government po
sit Ions.'
Demands Not Concerted.
These two demanda have not been con
ceded. The conduct of Senor Santos Is not
approved by the majority of hla party, and
hence this chief haa limited his preten
slons to the appointment of a new gov
ernment, but th government has not yet
answered thla proposition.
In Washington the matter la conducted
by the Colombian minister, who requested
from the rebel leader, Senor Santos, the
Issuance of solemn protest against th
Intervention of foreign government In the
Colombian civil war, an Intervention which
waa originated with the purpose of awak
ening Colombia in order to decide after
wards the controversies of boundaries be
tween those foreign countries and Colom
bla. The rebel leader haa declined to
Issue and publish aucb a protest.
Th Interior of Colombia Is nearly pa
clfied, tha principal chiefs of the rebel
lion, Vargas, Urlbo-Urlbe and Soto, have
left th country after serious defeata. The
only point at which the war continues
with any Importance ts at Panama. The
purpose of th rebels today Is reduced to
that of maintaining a sltuattoa that will
mak Impossible th regular admlnistra
tlon of publle affairs, especially In tba
Isthmus, and protecting In this manner
th Interests of neighbor which has a
great Interest In those disorders, so as to
prejudice th United States against ths
canal and prevent negotiations In this
matter. To rerauneral the rebels' service
with supplies of arms, ammunition and aol
dlers with which to kill Colombian breth
ren, to annihilate public wealth and de
atroy the hop of progress of their own
native country.
