Colonel John Mo 'iny, wl-.o has been In the last two ses sions, has a loo been asked to get Into the nam? again.

Secretary of Stale Gulusha wants a late convention, while most of the other candidates for .-late office!". If not all of them, want un curly convention. Hepabllcnn Club llnao.net. The Young Men's Republican club Is pre paring q make tho coming annual banquet to In- given on the evening of February 12 one of the most Interesting yet held Among the speakers who have already ac cepted Invitations to be present and deliver addresses are Secretary of Elate John E. Swangor of Missouri and Attorney General Xorrls Brown. Other noted men have been invited to lie present, and when the list of speakers is announced It will Include some of the big men of the republican party. Should Governor Magoon ! nble to get hero from Washington he may be one of the speakers. Some of the candidate seem unable to make up their minds whether they would lie benefitted or Injured by the late con vention. Should the convention be culled early they figure that the fight would be upon the nomination of a governor and the endorsement of a candidate for the senate, and In the excitement they would c rawl tinder the wire without creating any disturbance. The other thought is that If an enrly convention Is called the delegates might be in such a hilarious mood that they might conclude, to, make a clean sweep of the state house. Therefore, with the exception of Secretary cf State Galusha, none of them will be quoted on the matter. The coming meeting of the newspaper men to be held here the latter part of the month is creating considerable Interest. It Is the general talk that the editors will adopt some red hot resolutions telling how the state officers should conduct the busl ness of the state and also recommending to the next legislature' a few things that should be. done. t Maaooa Worked for The Rep.

XK1IVOIS IIAU1KS. The Exact Cause. Muny a child, while nursing, has ac quired un appetite for strong drink be cause the motlrvr used beverages contain ing alcohol. A letter from an Elgin, 111., mother Illustrates the necessity of great care us to the mother's food and drink while she Is nursing her child: ."What I have to Say should be of In terest to mothers who are so fortunate as to be able to nurse their babies," she writes. "Until my first baby came I did not realino that coffee waa the cause of the severe attacks of nervousness to which I was subject at times. 1 found that when one of these attacks came upon .me, baby was affected in the same way, at about the same time, and reflection led me to con clude that It was the coffee I drank that was making us both 111. "Having rend an article about Fostum Food Coffee. I decided to give It a trial, and when I had learned to prepare Ii properly, by bol'ing It at least 3n minutes, I round that with cream It was a delicious drink. And It proved most beneficial to the health of hoih of us. "However, when I gave up the old coffee I thought there would he no harm in hav ing one cup of the old kind on Sunday mornings for old time's sake. Two Sun days showed me the folly of this. I was amazed at the influence the coffee had on my own and baby's nerves. It made ine restless and unstrung till lis effects had time to wear off. and atiout the time I be gan to feil easier It began to affect baby through the milk, so that it spoiled our entire day. When I found this to he the case 1 gave up the Sunday morning coffee indulgence. "And thai ended the nervous attacks for both of us. This was five years ago. and I have nsed l'ostum regularly ever since. and enjoyed it as much as I ever did the other kind of coffee. "1 believe that the fretful condition of babies is caused by the coffee drinking habit of the mother. it Is hard to deny children the drink they see their parents enjoying at the luble. and It is u great comfort to he able lo let them have all the Fostum they want. Served with cream. It has proved an ideal beragc for my three little ones. "I found aleo that Fostum ia a great pro ducer of heal by milk, and I am sure that many a worried jnother would be bene fited by its use. I cannot commend It too highly."

TRIUMPH FOR PRESIDENT IN SIGHT Maar lilfflcaltlee t Re Overcome la senate Tariff and Statehood mile Mar Re Modified to l'ae Way. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. (Special. I A railroad rate bill will be passed during the present session of the flfty-nlnth congress. Every Indication points to that end. It Is true that there Is disagreement In the Interstate and foreign commerce commit tee of the senate, which has under con sideration all hills relating to railroad rate regulation, hut It is anticipated that out of that committee will come a Mil such as the democrats signed with the repub licans In the house and between the Hep burn measure, which will pass the house Inwi few days, and the bill which the senate committee will report, there will be little difference. President Roosevelt recognises the rights of railroads, he also recognises the rights of Individuals. Con fiscation of property Is prohibited by the constitution. Redress for attempted con fiscation of property lies with tho courts and the bill which la now under discussion In the house of representatives, compre hending that clause of the constitution which relates to Interstate commerce, has adroitly avoided any suggestion as to the constitutionality by clothing the Interstate Commerce commission with power to fix a reasonable rate. President Roosevelt has presented a num ber of very definite Issues to congress In the messages he has Dent to the legislative body of the government since assuming the office of president. Statehood for Okla homa, Indian Territory, Arizona and New Mexico has been very close to him. Since the visit of Secretary Taft and a delega tion from the senate and house to the Philippines a reduction on Imports from the Philippines has Impressed him to the extent of writing a strong message to congress urging a reduction in the Philip pine tariff. Two of these measures have passed the house and are now pending In the senate. The third proposition, which Is really first In the president's mind, will pass without material amendment and will go to the senate with an almost unanimous vote. And this Is the proposition on which the president stands, the regulation of railroad rates. The railroad rate bill will be long in passing the senate. There are many lsins In that body and there are many constitu tional lawyers, but the way things are mov ing now it looks as if both the Philippine tariff bill and the statehood bill might be modified and accepted by the administration in order that a railroad rate bill along the lines recommended in the last message of the president to congress may become a law. To that end every power that the ad ministration has is being directed. Easier Commnnleat ton with Mexico. While a widespread Interest Is manifested everywhere in the growth of the commercial relations between the U nlted States and the oriental empires, very little has been hear! or seen recently In reference to the grow ing commerce between this country and the republics to the south of us. Mexico In particular. Yet within the last few years millions 'Of American capital have been In vested In mining, forestry, agriculture and manufactures In tho. sister republic. The railroads are beginning to recognize the op portunities for business which a satis factory line i of i Communication promises, and recently an experiment In transporta tion was Inaugurated between St. Louis and Mexico City, which has already demon strated that the time Is ripe for better fa cilities for communication. j Mr. William E. Hoyt, eastern passenger .agent of one of the western roads, has been j he-re this week and he tells an interesting story which demonstrates the readiness of ; the people of this country to Belze any op- ! porttmlty to reach the City of Mexico promptly and comfortably. "On the lOtti of January," said Mr. Hoyt, "a special solid vestibule train was started nut of St. Louis over the. Iron Mountain and Mexican Na tional railroads. It is scheduled to reach the City of Mexico In fifty-nine hours from the time it leaves St. Louis which Is equiv alent to four days from New York. The train is a solid vestlhule Pullman car line with diner, smoker and all modern traveling conveniences. Its capacity is lrti irassen gcrs. and It Is at present run out of St. Louis twice each week. The demand for space has been so great that every' berth Is engaged for three weeks ahead and from present Indications a dally service will h necessary within a short time. This only Indicates," said Mr. Hoyt, "that the Amer ican people are anxious to estahUsh closer relations with Mexico and I think we are entering unon an era of commercial and social reciprocity which will hind the two republics closer together to the mutual ad vantage of lxith peoples." Senator Flatt'a Activity. Senator T. C. Piatt is physlcully one of the frailest men in the senate. And yet tha senior senator from New York need take no back seat when It comes to mental ac tivity. There is no more Industrious man in the upper house of congress today than he. As chairman of the Joint committee on printing he has worked hard and con tinuously with his colleagues In bringing atiout n reform of the methods prevailing lu the government printing office. He has attended nearly ill the hearings and Is as well posted as to the conditions prevail ing and the best methods for curtailing expenses In the great print shop as any member of congress. But it Is not only in the committee on printing that Senator Piatt is an Important factor. He is a member of the important committees on finance, naval affairs and Inferoeeanlc canals, and no memlier of those .bodies is more regular in Ids attendance than he. In fad, among his colleagues the senator Is regarded as the most persistent at tendant upon coipmlttee meetings in the senate today. Senator Piatt is no sprinter. He walks with difficulty, but he is clear In the head today as he ever was and from all appearances will continue to be a potential force in the affairs of the senate during the remainder of his term. DANISH PRINCES WERE BROKE Compelled to Borrow Moaey from He lieemaa la Order to Ride Home. COPENHAGEN. Feb. 4. tjcial Cable gram to The Bee.i While the two elder sons of Prince Waldemar were out walking near this city this week night cume on before they could return home, and finding the roads very heavy they kept a lookout for a conveyance. The only vehicle that passed them was a coal cart and into this the two young princes climbed. Oti arriving at the outskirts of the town the driver refused to take them any further and demanded . payment. The princes ex plained that they had no money with them and told the man who they were, bidding him take them to the palace. He refused to believe their story, however, until a policeman arrived and recognising the princes lent them some money so thut they could return to the palace In a tramway car.
