Tlbbets presided as toastmas ter and addresaes were responded to as follows: "Home Industries," (J. W. Evans. "Twenty Thousand by Nineteen Ten," Mayor C. J. Miles. "Electrlo Railways." A. T. Bratton. "How to Prolure New Industries," R. A. Batty. "Practical Industries," C. H. Dietrich. "The Relationship of the Business Man to the Commercial Club," J. N. Clarke. "The Relationship of the Traveling Man to the City of Hastings," H. E. Moss. "The Chautauqua In the Life and Growth of Our City," Rev. H. B. Harrison.

A LAZY LIVER May be only a tired liver, or a starved liver. It would be a stupid as well as savage thing to beat a weary or starved man because he lagged in his work. . So in treating the lagging, torpid liver it is a great liifltake to lash it with strong drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an Indication of ah ill-nourished, enfeebled body whose organs are weary with over-work. Start with the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them in working order and see how quickly your liver will become active. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has made many marvelous cures of "liver complaint," or torpid liver, by its wonderful control over the organs of digestion and nutrition. It restores the normal activity of the stomach, increases the secretions of the blood-making glands, cleanses the system of poisonous accumu lations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by the defection of other organs. Symptom. -If you have bitter or bad UU in the xnerning, poor or vari able appetite, ooated tongue, foul breath, oonstipated or irregular bowels, feel weak, easily tired, despondent, frequent headaches, pain or distress in "small of back," gnawing or distressed feeling in stomach, perhaps nausea, bitter or sour "risings" in throat after eating, and kindred rmotoina of weak stomach and torpid liver, or biliousness, no medicine will relieve you more promptly or cure you more permanently tlian Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Perhaps only a part of the above symp toms will be present at one time and ret point to torpid liver, or biliousness tnd weak stomach. Avoid all hot bread nd biscuit, griddle cakes and other Indigestible food and take the "Golden Medical Discovery " regularly and itick o its ms until you are vigorous and itrong. Of Golden Seal root, which Is one of he prominent ingredients of "Golden lledical Discovery," Dr. Roberta barth slow, of Jefferson Medical College, says: 'Very useful as a stomachic (stomach) tonic and in atonic dyspepsia. Cures rantrio (stomach) catarrh and head aches accompanying same." Dr. Grover Coe, of New York, says: 'Hydrastis (Golden Seal root) exercises an especial influence over mucous sur faces. Upon the liver it acts with equal eertainty and efficacy. As a cholagogue (liver invigorator) it has few eauals."

FINANCES OF PUBLIC MEN Etnatort Oftei Eter'fioe Fortanti to feiTs COuu REASON IN SPOONER'S RESIGNATION Other Before Hint Hare Fonnd Coat f ftat In ronarres Far Ex ceeds the Amount of th Salary Paid. (From a Staff Correspondent T WASHINGTON, March 17. (Ppeelal.) The resignation of John C. Spooner as United States senator from Wisconsin Is still a subject of much comment In the newspaper world. And yet. In view of all the facts which sre known to Senator Ppooner'sfrlends, the wonder Is that Sena tor Spooner did not send In to the gov ernor of his stnte his resignation much soonsr. To those who know the man, to those who know his ability, to those who know his ambition, It Is a marvel that John C. Spooner has continued to represent the commonwealth of Wisconsin as long as he has. When Spooner entered public life conditions were wholly different from what they are now. He represented one faction of the republican party In his state. Then cams an Interregnum. Later Mr. Spooner came back because of the predominance of the faction which he and his people represented. During the years that Spooner was out of the senate he acquired the reputation of being one of the greatest lawyers In the country. When ho came to the senate this last time ha accentuated the fact thst he was not only one of the greatest lawyers In the country, but In the senate demon strated that he was one of Its greatest debaters, He gave up much to be a senator of the I'nited States. And Spooner's resig nation from his high office which he now occupies and which is effective on May 1 shows the power of party politics, but falls to show the self-sacrifice which Is not only trus In Senator Spooner's case, but In the esse of hundreds of others who have sacri ficed Incomes In order that the principles for which they stood should triumph. Spooner's Fees a Ijivryer. When John Spooner came to the senate he was earning anywhere from (jb.OOO to 100,000 a year In lawyer's fees. He gave up those fees to represent his state In the national congress, succeeding William F. Vila for the term beginning March 4, 1897. Since that time Senator Spooner haa prac tically been out of the practice of the law. Realizing the demands of his growing family and the much more crying needs that enter Into the life of today than ten or twenty years ago, the senior senator from Wisconsin astonished the country, hut not his friends, by tendering his reslgna- ! tlon, to take effect on May 1. Probably tired of poliUcal life, of its strifes and Its seeming failures, Senator Spooner In the plenitude of his powers has decided to go back to the active practice of the profes sion which he has adorned. Senator Spooner is not alone In the sacri fices he has made for politics. The congress of the United States contains the names of hundreds of men who have given up com fortable Incomes, comparative ease and re spect of their fellows to take positions in One or the other of the houses of congress. Probably first among those who can be mentioned Is Senator Teller of Colorado, who .has represented his state since It admission. When he came to the senate he was earning $75,000 a year, largely from suits growing out of mining claims. Since that time he has earned but one fee, that of 11.000, from a case which was pending tn the supreme court of the United States at the time of hi election and which his firm, Teller, Orahood & Co., were In charge of when Henry M. Teller was elected sena tor. That case had nothing to do with the government, being a case between Indi vidual corporations engaged in the mining business. Hoar's Fortune Shrink. There I no more luminous example of what many men give up when they enter politics, so far as their finance are con cerned, than Is shown In the case of the late senator from Massachusetts, George Frlsbee Hoar. When Senator Hoar came to the senate he was reputed to be worth $200,000. When he left the senate he wa reckoned to be worth $o0,0u0 less than when he entered that body. And Senator Hoar was a careful, painstaking man, besides his pre-eminent ability. But the legitimate de mands upon him and the smalr salary which he received as a senator of the United States could not stop the shrinkage of his small fortune, which was considerably less when he died than when he went Into office. Oeorge F. Edmunds left a splendid legal lnoome to enter the United States senate and when he left public life In 1K91, having resigned much as Senator Spooner haa done to go back to the practice of his profession, he had little or nothing to show for his years In the upper branch of congress, ex cept th honor which attaches to that posi tion. George F. Edmunds sines his resig nation from ths senate In 1831 has earned one fee, to say nothing of countless other fees, which brought him more money than th salary of a full term In th United States senate. David B. . Hill, Thomas B. Reed, M. C. Butler, John M. Thurston and Frank Pettl grew are others who have served In on branch or the other of congress, who gav up splendid Incomes, and who found they could not get along on the 16,000 a year salary provided by statute. David B. Hill, who is In Washington this week trying a case before the supreme court of th United States, Is making more money now than ever before, and, a he says, It is wholly due to his being out of politic. Gates and Hill Aid Friend. Thomas B. Reed, lat speaker of the house of representatives, left public life In order that he might acquire something fur his old age. While lis did not llv luu enough to acquire anything near Ilk a competency, John W. Gates, one of the big hearted and brainy financiers of th coun try, handed Mrs. Reed, on the death of her distinguished husband, fltO.Ouu which Gate had mad out of amount which Resd had deposited with him for investment. Thomas B. Reed, with all his bigness, his ability and his acumen, was not a financier, but he wa beloved by those who knew him, and John W. Gates was on of the number. On day Gaus met Reed and th latter told the former that he wa going out of congress because he could not nuUte ends meet. Then Gates said: "Tom, why don't you lt me handle your finance. You know you haven't got any business instincts." Whereupon Speaker Keed agreed to turn over to Gate a certain proportion of hi earning that It might be Invested by the financier In stocks or bonds to bring an in come to tbs Maine statesman in his old a. or to his widow and cbildmo. Tom Ked didn't llv to enjoy the Increment, but hi widow and children receivad ths amount of money above alluded to because of th regard which John W. Gates had for their distinguished husband and father. When Frank Pettlgrew went out of th senate, be It said in all due regret, h went out pretty nearly broke He had always been a good friend of James J. Illy, tbs "Old Msn if th Northwest." and pcawlbly had represented snnie of Hill's Interest In a legal way. When h want out Mr. H1U backed Pettlgrew for certain storks he told him to buy, so the story goes, and UIH. who knows thing or two, told Tettlgrew to sell the stcrk when It reavrhed a certain figure. The figure was reached and Petti grew sold, tion.ono better off than when he bought. A short time after he received a laconic telegram from Mr. Hill snvlng, "Don't buy any more tocks." And Frank Pettlgrew haa remained out of the market ever since.

Ye.kos of Kentucky, commis sioner of Internal revenue, one of the most popular men In the Roosevelt administra tion, popular for his excellent qualities of human spirit ns well as his ability and In tegrity as a public servant, loves a story with a point and he can relate It hlmsnlf with the color and flavor of life. He has Just cwitributed something worth while to the annals of two well known Americans. He was In a group talking about the big fees paid lawyers of proved ability nowa days and he narrated this. "A few years after Benjamin Harrison quit the White House as his official domi cile, the noted Wldener-Elklns syndicate bought up the traction lines of his home town, Indianapolis). A local howl went up over the deal and those opposed to It de termined to carry the quarrel into the courts. They filed a double-barrel prayer. They set forth that the tines as sought to be controlled by the syndicate had no rights the people were bound to respect : ergo, the franchises were worthies. If this plea should not be upheld, It was then to be Insisted that the lines should be re quired to charge not more than t cent fare. Either proposition, sustained at that time, would have mn the syndicate out of busi ness In Indlapolls. "Thus confronted, the syndicate, whose headquarters were In Philadelphia, sent for Philander Chase Knox, afterward attorney general and now t'nlted States senator from Pennsylvania. Knox was retained as their attorney In the case. He went at once to Indianapolis to Investigate the' situ ation. When he returned he reported a formidable general feeling ajalnst the syn dicate and advised that ho better thing could be done than to retain Mr. Harrison, the former president, to combat the opposi tion with his legal acumen and his political prestige. It was agroed that as Mr. Knox had been sojected to manage the case h would better do a he pleased about It, "So Mr. Harrison was taken Into coun sel. The rase was fought to a finish In the Indiana courts, and the syndicate won a complete victory. After It was all over, the late president went to Mr. Knox and told him that under ordinary conditions he would render his bill for professional services to Mr. Knox for his endorsement, to be transmitted to the syndicate. Harrison' Bio; mil. " 'Hut In this case,' said Mr. Harrison. I feel justified In a different course not through any disposition to be discourt eous to you, but to relieve you from pos- siDie emoarrassmeni. i nis nas been a very Important case. We have saved our clients a great deal of money. I am get ting far along in years, and I propose to render a bill commensurate with my serv ices and with the Importsnce of the case. The bill will be large. I wish to relieve you from any necessity of constraint of sentl ment that you should endorse an account which you might conscientiously regard as extortionate, and on the other hand I would avert from you any embarrassment that In so doing you might humiliate me In the event that th account was not al lowed. Therefore, I ask your permission to present the bill direct.' "Such a course, Mr. Knox replied, would be to him perfectly satisfactory. Mr. Knox thought no more of It for the time being. Mr. Harrison made out a bill for $3,000 and sent it to the Philadelphia syndicate. Promptly the syndicate responded with a check for the amount of the bill and a cor dial letter of thanks for the efficient serv ice rendered. "Some time thereafter Messrs. Knox and Harrison met at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. The former president of the United States mentioned the fact that he realised the bill for $26,000 he had presented to th Phila delphia syndicate In the case In which they wore associate counsel was unusually large. but that It had been settled promptly and without a word of complaint. ' 'Why,' spoke Mr. Knox, 'should they complain? My bill was for $100,000. I thought yours would be not less. There was no ootnplalnt of mine.' " a karat wedding rings, Edholm. jsweler.
