SPEAKER CANNOX AT INDIANAPOLIS
Illinois Leader Plscnaee Tariff Isseie
at .Tosnllnsou Hall. ,
INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 2. Joseph O. Can
lion, speaker of the house of representa
tives, discussed the tariff question tonight
before an audience which completely filled
Tomlinson. hall. Speaker. Cannon waa given
an enthusiastic reception and his speech
waa frequently and vigorously applauded.
Congressman Jesse Oversireet presided.
He spoke briefly, introducing Mr. Cannon,
who spoke in part, as follows: .
Civilization and progress , In all times
have rested upon the effort of the human
family: upon the labor of the human fam
ily. Without It, it is barbarfmn. With It
It Is enlightenment and hapniness. There
fore whei: the republican party contested
for bowei' under the lead of Lincoln. , It
fought for the rights and prncperity of
labor. There was a genulno dlfferenco be.
tween the republican party of-1860 and the
democrat!: party of that time and I want
to go back and get at that difference touch
ing this policy of protection and the ques
tion of labor becausa tlie.e l, Mia same dif ference
between tis now 'wttKmit were be'
ing a good reason for It. Uhe manufactured
roduct of the nation In IW, or shortly be
ore the tariff law of the republican party
waa enacted. waa ll.SOO.OCWOOa What Was
It In ltWO, forty years afterward? Thirteen
illllons, or more than seven tlnv as great
as in lWM. - I'nder the protective law this
great Industrial progress burst forth, mak
ing our manufactured product greater than
thut of Oreat Britain, Germany and France
combined, the three other greatest produc
ing nations after the United States, and It
is one-third of the manufactured product of
the entire civilized world. This great prod
uct Is produced by labor receiving $2, wherj
the labor of other countries recelvea $1.
Up to the time of Lincoln's first election
we nought greatly more of the rest of the
world than we sold. How did we pay for
ItT Wa sent abroad our agricultural prod
ucts at comparatively sma! prices to pay
part. We Kent away our gold, our silver,
our railroad bonds and our municipal and
Stat bonds. We fell In their debt and we
had to pay ' them in our gold, silver or se
curities. But since William McKln'ey waa
elected president, the world haa fallen Into
our debt over $4,000,000.00), and this was
brought about by our selling to the world
tiO.ouO.Ono.OOO worth, while we only bought
$4,000,000,000 worth.

VERDICT IS HULL INQUEST
Jar Tinds that fishermen Are Blaii hj
BboU from Russian Warship.
FIRING IS AT VERY SHORT RANGE
Trawler Oaly Quarter of a Mile from
' Trainers When the" shooting Be
llas Fisher Think It a
Sham Battle.
HULL, England, Nor. 1 "That George
Henry Smith and William Leggett were
at about 12:30 a. m. on October 22, while ou
fishing with trawls ' aboard the British
stesm trawler Crane, with board of trade
mark exhibited and regulation lights
burning, killed by shots fired without warn
ing or provocation from certain Russian
war vessels at a distance of about a quarter
of a mile."
This Is the text of the jury's verdict at
the coroner's inquest on the fisherman vie
tint in th North sea tragedy. At the re
quest of the British government, repre
sented by the earl of Dyaart, solicitor of
the treasury, this conservative- award was
rendered. by the first court of inquiry pre
ceeding the eeaslons of th international
tribunal. The government asked the Jury
not to find a verdict of wilful murder or
manslaughter, because "delicate negotla
tion are going on which should not be
made more difficult and they ought not to
let anyone think they had prejudiced the
case before having heard both sides."
In consequence, the Jury simply set forth
the facts stvwn by the evidence of
physicians, experts on explosives and the
trawlers themselves. To the verdict the
Jury added the following rider:
On this occasion, probably the most mo
mentous in the annals of the British em
pire, the jury would record their apprecia
tion of the efforts made by the government
In interent to arrive At a satisfactory con
clusion of the matter, which we feel ha
no parallel In the history of the world.
Great Interest la Proceedings.
St. George's' hall, a large auditorium,
which had been specially fitted up for the
occasion, was quite Inadequate to accom
modate the crowd that wished to listen to
the evidence. The interest was Intense and
there was some excitement, but no demon
stratldn occurred. A great number of peo
pie gathered in the vicinity of the building
to await the verdict and the space inside
the hall waa filled. The British govern
ment, the Board of. Trade, the owner of
the Gamecock fleet and the relatives of tha
deceased and wounded fishermen were rep
resented by counsel, but the Russian gov-
ernment did not participate.
The proceedings occupied only about three
hours.. The testimony consisted. of medical
evidence by which it was proved that the
death of Smith and Lcggett was the result
of shell and machine gun wounds; then an
expert Identified fragment of shells by
private marks which he said were undoub
edly Russian, and the storle of captains
and mates of the trawlers. These latter re
lated that while they were engaged tn their
regular work the ships of the Baltla fleet
in two squadrons emerged suddenly from
the haze, and throwing the glare of their
searchlight on the Gamecock fleet, with
out wafnlnf and disregarding flora green
lights, the fisherman' signal, and though
within actual speaking distance of one ves
el, commenced a cannonade, which the
fishermen at first, not realielng the danger,
enjoyed, thinking it was a sham fight.
Firing; Laat Half an Hoar.
The firing lasted half an hour. To each
of the witnesses was put tho vital question
regardrng the prenenoe 'of ti!forelgn 'vessel
or torpedo boat. Each with equal positive
ness denied that at any time preoeding or
during the firing was any Japanese, British
or any foreign vessel seen by them or th
accompanying fishing fleet. It was also
stated there were no Japanese among th
crews and that none of the trawler car
ried arm of any description. On of th
skipper, replying to a question by the
coroner, aald that during the five week
he wa in the North aea he had not seen
any warship until that night. This closed
the evidence. x Counsel for the treasury
then made the suggestion with regard to
the nature of the verdict, with which the
coroner agreed, and without delay it was
so returned, with an added expression of
sympathy for the relatives and friends of
the dead and injured and of appreciation
of the "calm and courageous manner in
which the finning fleet remained at its du
ties after the terrible experience."
Testimony In Detail.
The first witness described the, nature of
the wounds as gunshot wounds.
Colonel Jocelyn Thompson, chief in
spector of explosives, said the shells which
struck tha vessel were of Russian origin.
He expressed the. opinion that the shell
which damaged the trawler Mlno were fired
at a range of not exceeding a quarter of a
mile.
Captain Olilard testified that the trawler
Gull was close enough for Its crew to speak
to the Russians. In order to clear the bat-
THIRTY YEARS' WAR
Peace Declared' When Right Food
Waa Adopted.
The right food wilt make a man's body
over completely and euro the old ails. ,A
Danville man went through an experience
showing how true this is.
"For thirty year I had been trgubled
with my stomach, so bad at times it mad
me desperately sick. I had to take pills
and medicine all the time, which made my
atomach very weak, and headaches and
other miseries made life almost unendur
able. Three years ago I had an attack of
pain over my heart so bad my wife kept
hot poultices there for two nights. Took
a lot more medicine and finally got so bad I
could eat nothing; atleust I could eat it, but
would throw it up again in a few minutes.
I tried several doctors, but got worse, all
the time, and had to be taken home from
the store at different time. t . waa so
sick and dlisy I could not walk a step.
"1' tell you, I know what it I to have a
weak atomach, . arid 'the strong medicines
Imply made matters worse.
"I kept on getting weak, and poor all th
time, living much of the time on a little
toaat and warm milk, until I wasted away
su that all the clerks lrf my store expected
me to die. I tried everything in the way
of diet without any success Until two years
ago. when I decided to give Urape-Nuta
ten days trial. .
"So I started with two' teaspoonfuls of
Grape-Nut and cream three times a day.
Increasing to three teaspoon fula,v then to
four, and from tha very first day I com
menced to improve, gaining in the weight
all the time, as well us strength. From"
that time It was nothing but progress with
me, for all the old troubles disappeared; I
got entirely well and now weigh Wo pounds
and feel as young as I did thirty year
go.
Th change in my nerves and bruin ia
wonderful, because my memory wa very
bad before and I waa so nervous they had
to ke-p the children still all tha time, but
when brain and nerves aa well a atomach
got exactly the nourishment they needed
from Grape-Nuts, they built up trong and
healthy. All my children eat Grape-Nuts
now and th children ate well and remark
ably sturdy on It. We eat six boxes of it
every week." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
. .Look. In MMch. package fur the famous lit
tie book, "The Road to Wllvlile,"
tleshlpa the trawlers went out of their
course. The Russian pasaed In two divis
ions, turning their searchlight on the
trawlers. They then fired. Th Russian
squadrons were a mile to a mile and a half
apart. The firing lasted half an hour.
Ro Forelaa Uhlp There,
There were no British or foreign torpedo
boat among the fishing fleet, the crew of
these vessels being able to e clearly ow
Ing to the searchlights.
Captain Gillard added that the trawler
were distinctly lettered and carried Ashing
light. TJi Russian squadrons signalled
each other and then two vessels fired on
the Snipe. He denied that the trawlers
carried arms of any kind and wa positive
that no Japanese vessel were among the
fishing fleet.
. A sensation wa created by the appear
ance of James Nixon, chief engineer of
the trawler Crane who wa brought to the
hall from th Aitipttal swsthed 'in band
ages. He testified that while looking at
what he Imagined til be a sham fight h
waa Mruck on the head and became un
conscious.
After further corroborate evidence, Reg
inald Ackland, JunloV counsel to the ad-
mlralty, addressed the Jury in behalf of the
treasury. Counsel ailggested that a verdict
be rendered recording the facts, but not
prejudicing the case before the Interna
tional Inquiry. 1
The coroner suggested that If he acted on
Mr. Ackland' suggestion the verdict rhould
read that the men were killed by shots
fired without warning and without provo
cation from certain vessels.
The Jury returned a verdict a uggested
THURSTON FOR THE TICKET
(Cqntlnued from First Page.)
with an ovation that almost equalled that
accorded to hi distinguished . predecessor
on the platform. After the applause had
subsided sufficiently to allow him to talk,
Mr. Kennedy said:'
I feel tonight that I am In the house of
my friends. (Thia statement brought out
another burst of enthuaiusm, which was
dnnllcated a few minutes later when Mr.
Kennedy mentioned the name oi rreaiueni
Roosevelt.) I stand here again tonight to
make more predictions of republican suc
cess. Next Tuesday the democrats will
meet thfir Waterloo. Roosevelt and Fair
banks wlli carry Nebraska by b0,000 and
the entire state ticket will be elected by
safe pluralities. The objections to - Gov
ernor Mickey have been without substance
or good foundation. I say here that Gov
ernor Mickey's administration has been
one of the best the state ha ever had.
Agulnst all that has been, said concerning
the governor one act of his life will offaet
them all and it is what he did in the civil
war. In that hour'of peril John H. Mickey
was fighting for -his flag.- The savage
attacks that have -been made upon him
have rallied all fair-minded republicans and
even decent demoorats to his support.
There Is no doubt, -whatever, but that the
eop.o ol this state: will register tneir con
deiice In Governor. Mickey on election day.
Our county- ticket also is good and should
be considered with regard to the principles
of the party inasmuch a the legislature
win elect a united mates senator.

BERGB WANT! REPUBLICAN VOTES
Popnllat Oandldate Plead for Support
In Hla Fusion Campaign,
a. W. Serge, the populist candidate for
governor on the fusion ticket, ha sud
denly developed an overmastering love and
admiration for the Independent voter. He
believe that the salvation of th country
lie In tha ballot of the Independent voter,
and last evening iie impressed upon hi
audience the need of forsaking party prin
ciples when officials are corrupt and there
are partisan wrong to be corrected. But
he also took care to impress upon hi audi
ence that honeBty, Berge and populism are
synonyms and that the voter should refuse
to accept any brand of politics which does
not have Berge printed on the table and
blown across the bottle.
Mr, Berge was one of the stellar attrac
tions at the Sixth ward democratic, meet
ing, held in Magnolia hall, at the corner
of Twenty-fourth and Ames street last
evening. There ws a large turnout of
republicans and .Mr. Berg addressed a
generous share of his remarks to them.
"Whenever," he said, "a political party
I long in power the rank and file of the
voter are pushed away and their influence
la no longer felt." .. He then urged the
voter to be Independent and vote according
to the dictate of his conscience, but he
conveyed the impression that the voter'
conscience isn't running In. it proper
groove If it doesn't lean toward those
things which Mr. . Berge represent. He
called to mind a number of bills the popu
lists passed in the Interest of the people,
but he failed to recall one that had ever
been passed for the people by any other
party.
Hon. Gilbert M. Hitchcock, candidate for
congress, entertained the audience With
some of his clever stories. He told the
audience of the extravagance of the people
at Washington and explained that armor
plate Is manufactured by a trust. He as
sured the audience that he will work for
the passage of a law favoring postal sav
ing bank.
SECRETARY MORTON TO IPBAK
His First Address of Cnmnnlaa Will
Be Made flatnrdny Evening-.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l.-Pul Morton,
secretary of the navy, will make hla first
speech In the presidential campaign at
Hlg-hlandtown, Md., a suburb of Baltimore,
at a republican rally on the evening of No
vember 6. The secretary ha thus far been
kept at hi desk by the unusual amount
of navy businen, but he completed yester
day his revision of the navy estimates and
these will shortly be made public. There
have been many demands upon the secre
tary for speeches In var.ous parts of the
country, but he has been compelled thus far
to decline all because of pressure of offi
cial business.
Br ran as a Faaltanaer.
MINDEN, Neb., Nov. .-(Special Tele
gram.) W. J. Bryan spoke here this aft
ernoon. The principal part of hi address
was devoted to charging extravagance in
the republican admlniatration of affair In
both state and ration and a defense of his
position In his support of Parker in this
campaign. He admitted that Roosevelt
would carry Nebraska, but gave as a rea
son th spilt between the populists and
democrat in the selection of two set of
elector. Th only reason he gave for hi
support of Parker wa that Parker howled
Imperialism just aa loud aa he did himself.
His whole speech wa on Jf faultfinding
with everything th republican had ever
don. It waa not an argumentative speech,
and if the big "I" had been eliminated from
It the skeleton would have been a ghastly
thing to contemplate.
It waa no such an address ha been
delivered during th campaign by either
Norrl Brown or Congreaanaa Burkslt,

In your open letter to. me today, you

LaFollette and Joseph W. Folk, but "the
fact that democratic leaders known to be
affiliated with railroad corporations" and
populist leaders whose records you say you

day for my election has shaken your faith

waging.
I am responsible only for my own con

the executive chnlr absolutely free and
unpledged. I am under no pledge or obliga

If elected to the office of governor I will
be free to exert my best endeavor to ful
fill the pledges I have made. Among those
pledges none Is more Important to the peo
ple or given by me In more perfect sincerity
than that corporation rule in all state af

practice of lobbying among the people's
representutlves should be made a felony
under Nebraska's laws. I believe In the
reforms I am advocating In this campaign.
If elected I will use every Influence 1 have
to give to the people once more a chance
at their government. I am making th
light of my life in the best manner I know
how. Claiming as you do to want th
same ends accomplished, you should Join
me In the fight Instead of opposing me.
Shortly after the adjournment of the Inst
legislature you said in an editorial in The
Bee:
It is an open secret that corruption was
just as rampant at the capltol of the state
of Nebraska durfng the lust session of tin
legislature as it was in the capltol of Mis
souri. Bribery stalked defiantly In the leg
islative halls and In the cloak rooms and
the corporation lobby kept open house at
the principal hotels, where lawmakers worn
led astray snd debauched almost tn hroid
daylight and within public view. But the
reign of boodlerism at Lincoln ha scarcely
raised a protest from the officer ch irged
with the enforcement of law and the pun
ishment of lawbreakers.
I am saying throughout this campaign
that what you then said is true. Why
don't you join me and help me do awy
with these intolerable conditions at the
state house? Why 1 it that you try In
your paper to weaken the fight I am mak
ing? Why 1 It that you publish the state
ment from th attorney general's office
which Is calculated to mislead the people
when the following are the facts:
John F. Neeland, a resident near Chad
ron, Neb., on the 7th day of May, 1901,
brought a mandamus suit against John D.
Follmer, Commissioner of publio lands and
buildings, praying that the commissioner
be compelled to issue a school land lease
to Neeland for some land in Dawes county.
Prior to the beginning of this suit the
commissioner had already issued a lease
to William Hollenrake, also a resident
near Chadron. The suit . was directly
against the commissioner, and It was the
business i of the attorney general to de
fend that suit.
William Hollenraka, my client, wa made
a party defendant because he had a prior
lease. The state, having already Issued
a lease to my client, could not lsau a
lead to Neeland also, and surely it was
not the business of Hollenrake to defend
the state In that suit. Hollenrak-j, how
ever, employed me to protect his inter
ests. I filed an answer for him and th
attorney general filed an answer for th
state. Before this caso was tried, in th
district court, of Lancaster, county. It be-
came necessary to take the deposition of
ome witnesses near Chadron. I told th
attorney general that the state should go
to thl expense, and not my client. I
felt that ' the entire expense and work
should be done by the attorney general'
office, and not my myself, nor my client.
Every lawyer will agree with me that
It wa the duty of tha state to proteot
the lease the state had made my client,
and It was asking a good deal of my client
to employ counsel and also to pay all th
expense of defending that suit. I told the
attorney general that when I went to
Chadron to take these deposition that th
state should pay my expense.
I think he said he would try and get
me a ticket to Chadron and back. When I
asked the attorney general for a ticket to
Chadron and back I assumed that he would
get me a ticket and make the state pay
for it.
I absolutely deny that I asked the at
torney general, or any one else in that
office for free transportation to Chadron
and back. I wa willing to help th at
torney general to do the work, but I wa
not willing to have :ny client pay all the
expense when it was the business of the
state to defend the lease made to my
client.
The attorney general' office did hot get
me a ticket to Chadron and back, but I
paid out tha cold cash for the trip there
and return, and charged it up to my client,
and my client paid me back again tha
money I had paid out.
It comes with mighty poor grace for the
attorney general' office to put this stralhed
construction upon this entire transaction,
when I did the entire work In that law
suit and my client paid the entire expense
when it wa the duty of the state to do
both.
I have taken up this fight for good gov
ernment in this state and I am going to
keep up the fight until we have won. No
corporation nor your efforts to weaken
my fight can discourage me because I
have firm confidence that the people will
vindicate th position I have taken.

itinerant preacher. Just from conference,
arrived at his new charge late In the even

Mickey. It was their first acquaintance.
After the evening meal they Indulged In an
Introductory conversation. Just then the j
pastor received a telegram that hi father,
over X mile away, was dying. Heart
broken he felt as it he would like to see
him before he died, and while he sat in
silent sorrow Brother Mickey took In tha

here is X (o help' you out." Afterward,
when the pastor offered to pay back the
money, Brother Mickey said, cheerfully,
"Oh, no; you Just keep it."' '
This same pastor, many yenrs afterward,
was holding revival service In a certain
village, when Rev. Bavldge put In an ap
pearance Without any Invitation whatever
from the pastor, and insisted on commenc
ing another revival meeting In the school
house, but the school trustees refused to
let him ' have the house. After making
other secret attempts to get a hall he be
came very generous all at once and would
not interfere with the pastor's meeting !
ready in progress for anything, nd with a
distaste for "sour grapes" he took his de
parture. Now, I have known Governor Mickey for
thirty years, and In 1875 and 1876 was hla
pastor, and I can testify that always, and
especially through the grasshopper scourge,
he wa active in the work of supplying the
destitute with the necessaries of life, and
after my long acquaintance with him I
can truly come to the conclusion that he
Is a broad-minded, generous, whole-hearted
man. And my prediction is that he will be
re-elected governor of Nebraska by a very
large majority. J. Q. A. FLEHARTY.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Isefnl it I In
Preserving; llealtn ana ueaaiy.
Nearly everybody know that charcoal I
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier In nature, but few realise Its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take of it the betteri it is not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities
always present in, tha atomach and intes
tine and carrlejrthem out of the system.
Charcoal sweeten the breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other" odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
the complexion. It Whitens the teeth snd
further act a a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which col
lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
of catarrh. t .
All druggists sell charcoal In one form
or another, but probably tbe best charcoal
and the moat for the money is In Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of
the finest powdered .willow charcoal and
other narrates .antiseptic In tablet, form,
or, rather, In the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey. ... .
The dally use of these lozenges will soon
tell in a much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breuth and purer blood, and the beauty of
it Is that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but, on the contrary,
great benefit. .
A Buffalo, physician, in speaking of th
benefits of charcoal,' says: "I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in . the stomach and
bowels and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth' and throat;
also believe the liver Is greatly benefited
by the dally use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and
although in soma sense a patent prepare
tion, yet I believe I get mora and better
charcoal in Stuart' Charcoal Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal tab
lets."
