LOUISVILLE JN THE LEAD
Strong; Probability That Falls City
Will Get Democratic
Conveatloa.
WASHINGTON, D. C; Dec 12. The sit
uation with reference to the relectlon of a
place for holding the next democ ratio
national convention had so simplified Itself
that practically all candidates for the honor
had been eliminated except Chicago, Louis
vllle and Denver. Chicago holda favorite
place In the estimation of a great many of
the committeemen who are now In Wash
ington. But the frank statement of Mr.
Roger Sullivan, who represents Illinois on
the national committee, that it would be
difficult to raise enough money to pay the
expenses of the convention, had a dampen
Ing effect.
The Denver delegation waa mixing freely
with the committeemen and Impressed upon
every on with whom they came In con
tact th fact of that city' readiness and
willingness to pay $100,000 to secure the con
vention.
Louisville also was represented - by a
strong delegation, headed by Senator Mc-
Creary and Mr. Shirley, and at a late hour
indications were favorable to that city.
The delegates id they were prepared to
offer the best convention hall ln the coun
try and pay tha expenses of the convention
If It should go to their city. One objection
was on the score of hotel accommodations.
but they protested they had been verj
much Improved In recent years and tk-'
there could be no doubt that the people
would be able to entertain the convention
in good style.
The distance of Denver from the center
of population was the principal objection
to that city and this probably will over
balance the Inducement which the big sum
offered constitutes.
It Is almost definitely settled that the con
vention will be after the republican con
vention, beginning June 23 or 30.
There Is no talk of any candidate except
Mr. Bryan. Borne members of the com
mittee think It la too early to say any one
man 1 certain of th nomination, but they
admit that the probabilities point to the
Neb.askan.

The maker of certain Baking; Powders have recently been
shouting, "purity, purity, purity! I" All other manu
facturers have been openly accused of offering an Impure
product Calumet as the largest competitor has of course,
come in for its share. . But we simply smiled as our
business grew.
For Calumet has been backed for years by an offer of
21000 for any substance injurious to health found in the
baking prepared with it. This offer has never been
challenged.
Don't you think that if there was the least trace of im
purity in Calumet that our competitors would be the first
tf jump at this offer? Wouldn't this be an ideal way of
putting our product off the market entirely? '
Does not this and the fact that it complies with all pure
food laws, both State and National, prove that Calumet
is absolutely pure? '
With the purity question settled then Calumet is un
doubtedly the best Baking Powder. It contains more

better results and it is moderate in

TRUST MUDDLE IS CROWING
Securities Deposited With California
Concern Are Missing.
PRESIDENT BLAMES MANAGES,
Mr. Walker Say Ho Had Forty-Two
Tnouaajid Dollars 1 on Deposit
Another Banker Kills
, Himself.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12. Following
his arrival from Santa Barbara In custody
of officers, David F. Walker, president of
the Insolvent California Bafe Deposit and
Trust company, yesterday declared that not
until about two weeks ago did he become
aware of the true state of affairs In the
Institution over which he presided. The
management of the bank's affairs, he said,
was left In the hands of James Ds.liell
Brown, th general manager, who at pres
ent Is occupying a cell In tho city prison
on the charge of embezzlement, based
upon the disappearance of securities valued
at $206,000 belonging to the Colton estate
which had. been deposited In the bank by
W. J. Bartnett, dlreotor In tho trust com
pany, the special administrator of the es
tate. While neither Walker nor Bartnett will
state In so many words that Brown Is
responsible for tha disappearance of the se
curities, the fact remains that the former
has denied all knowledge of their existence
and tho' latter today stated to the Asso
ciated Press that tha securities were de
posited In the bank by order of the court;
that mother he nor Walker had anything
to do with their removal, nor at the time
that It occurred, had any knowledge of It.
Walker said that he became prenldent
of the California Safe Deposit and Trust
company in July, 1905, at the earnest so
licitation of Mr. Bartnett and with the
understanding that he was not to devote
his entire time to the management of the
corporation. During a large part of the
time since then he had been absent In
New York and Europe. ,
President's Money Lost.
"On June 8, 1907, I again went east on
business In connection with the San Fran
cisco Bond and Mortgage company. The
first thing I knew of any weakness in con
nection with th bank was the receipt of
telegraphic information from San Fran
cisco that the bank had closed its doors.
During the few days immediately preced
ing this Information I received letters
from Mr. Brown to the effect that the bus
iness of the bank and Its branches was
In a flourishing condition and that In spito
of the financial crisis the institution was
doing well.
"I know nothing whatever regarding the
Colton securities. I have never seen the
securities nor have I ever had possession
of them In any form.
"I am not a debtor to the bank In tha
aum of $760,000 or any other amount.
On the contrary, at the time when the
bank closed I waa a creditor of the bank
In the aura of about $42,000 and Mrs.
Walker was also a creditor. I am ready
at ail tlmea. In the event the depositors
and stockholders can bring about the re
organization of the bank, to aid It cu far
as I am able."

Appendicitis.
Ilovr to Avoid It nod Escape a Surgi
cal Operation, Told by One '
Who Knows.
A Simple Method That Is Alwsys Eitkaclsai
It ha only been a few years sine It waa
discovered that a surgical operation would
cure appendicitis; In fact, it ha been but,
a short time since the dlseass was discov
ered and named.
Whenever there Is' an Inflamed oonditlon
of tha apendix, caused by Impacted faecea
In tho small cavity opening into tho In
testine, you thejjhave appendicitis. .
The older doctors used to call tins in nam -mation
of tha bowels, and were puszled t
know the cause.
Even now, with all the knowledge wa
have of thedlsesse. no medical man can tell
you why we should have an appendix, why
we find It, whore it Is, or what ars Its
functions, if It has any.
The disease for which th operation Is a
cure Is usually caused by Indigestion, and
In many cases follows a large and Indi
gestible meal.
Physicians have until recently recons
mended an operation, but now, as It is
known that It Is caused by indigestion, or
dyspepsia, a cure without an operation is
assured.
Where the patient Is treated with Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, tho unhealthy conditions
prevailing rapidly disappear, th stomach
and lnteatinea ar placed back in their nor
mal condition, every organ of the body
operates as It should, and th lnflamm.-t.'
tlon Is reduced and th operation I volde?T
Conscientious physicians, who ar look
ing after the best Interest of their pa
tients, will always keep a supply of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tsblets handy In their office,
where in caaea of sudden attacks of indi
gestion they can relieve th patient at
once.
There Is no rcord of a case of appendi
citis wher the stomach and towels were,
in a healthy condition and properly digested
th food from meal to meaL
No better advice can be gtiren to any
one! who has attacks of Indigestion, or
who has been threatened with appendicitis,
than to tell him to go to the drug ature,
pay 60 cents, and take home a package of
gtuart' Dyspepsia Tablets.
Whenever heartburn, gaa In the stomach .
or bowels, heart disease or fermentation
are present, act at once. Take a doss of
tho Tablets and get relief as soon as
possible.
