TAFT AND HUGHES THE TICKET
Snch Is the Prediction Which John L.
Webster Repeals on Hetarm
from East.
John 1 Webster has returned from
Washington, where the Missouri valley
freight rate case was argued before the
Interstate. Commerce commission. While
arguments of but an hour In length are
usually permitted, the commission recog
nised the great Importance of this case and
gave the attorneys five hours. Arrayed on
one side were three railroad lawyers and
attorneys representing Chicago and St.
Louis. Mr. Webster and J. H, Atwood
represented the Missouri valley Jobbers,
who are claiming the railroads are dis
criminating against them.
"Taft and Hughes. That Is the ticket I
think may be finally named at Chicago
next June."
That was the gist of an Interview pub
lished In the Washington Post as coming
from Mr. Webster, and Mr. Webster admits
he said It.
"It Is my observation that Mr. Taft Is
the strongest man In the party, and from
present Indications I do not see how he
can be hindered from getting the nomina
tion," continued Mr. Webster. "In Nebraska
eight out of every ten republicans are sup
porters of Taft, and the dissenting two are
for Mr. Hughes. The opponents of Taft
are not opposing him because of any per
sonal dislike for htm, but because of op
position to Roosevelt, They admit the
secretary would make a good president.
And, In this connection, It Is my opinion
that Mr. Taft Is the best equipped man
In the country for the high office of presi
dent. No man at his age, with the possible
exception of Alexander Hamilton, ever had
more difficult and varied duties to per
form. "So far aa the president Is concerned,
while I am a corporation lawyer, I do
not take the ground that he Is wholly to
blame for the disturbed conditions of
finances, though I do think his public ut
terances and activity precipitated the re
cent flurry."

The prince Is the scion of one of the

"And," interjected a young man of the

proached to see if there was anything else
that could be done for the convenience and
pleasure of the tourists, "your train direc

In William Sawyer's pool room, 2G07 N
street, South Omaha, Neb., from a gunshot
fired by William Jones and . recom
mend that he be held to the district court.
This Is the verdict of the coroner's Jury
which yesterday afternoon heard the testi
mony of the witnesses of the shooting of
Detective Drummy.
Detective Sullivan told how he and De
tective Drummy had gone to South Omaha
to Identify a negro held there by the police,
suspected of being the one who shot Officer
Lahey last Friday) how they decided to go
to Sawyer's pool room, a place frequented
by negroes, how they entered the place.
Drummy leading; how they approached the
negro standing by the stove with his right
hand in hla bosom; how the negro drew his
gun and shot Detective Drummy and how
the detective died without a word, died so
quickly that he did not withdraw his hands
from his overcoat pockets. ,
The detectives had learned two daya be
fore from a woman living at Thirteenth and
Chicago streets that a negro had applied
to her to be allowed to stop there and dry
his clothes. Tills was after the shooting
of Lahey. Every time anyone came to the
house, thla woman said, the negro placed
his hand lnstda his coat. Evidently he had
been watching for officers and was armed.
The fact that the man met In the pool room
had his hand In his coat aroused Sullivan's
suspicion and he had called to Drummy to
wait until they aummoned Captain Shields,
who had stopped In the front part of the
room. When Captain .Shields came up

What the Attacked Should Do.
It has bee found by the experience
ot a great many people that the-'Lest
cathartic to take in ceses of grip, where
there is commonly great weakness and
prostration, Is the tonic catarrh, Hood's
Pills, which do not weaken but
Strengthen the System as they do
their special work. They are "easy to
take, asy to operate." If attacked by
the grip, take them at once, for a free
movement of the bowels, and begin
treatment with flood's Sarsaparllla for
the elimination of the grip poison from
tha blood and the renewal ot health
and strengtth.
Completely Restored "I have taken
Hood's Sarsaparllla and Pills and be
lieve they have saved my life. I had
the grip and It left me so weak I did
not think I could live. In one week
after beglnlng to take these medicines
I gained wonderfully, and was Boon
completely rstored." Stanford C. Hor

Never-Falling Remedies "I had the
grip and become so weak i could not

was never married. He was 64 years old
when he died.
His will haa not been offered for pro

gave away in specific bequests to relatives,
friends, charitable institutions and to the
city of Plattsburg about $1,600,000. He then
directed that If his rlslduary estate did not
amount to at least $1,000,000 it should go to
his brother, Floyd L. Smith.
If the rlslduary estate should amount to
$1,000,000 or more; and there 1b no doubt but
that it will amount to at least $2,000,000 and
probably nearer $3,600,000, then It is to be
put into a trust fund, the Income of which

county by furnishing them funds to pay

boys of Clinton county, then the board may
extend the benefits of the fund to Franklin
and Essex, adjoining counties. y
Taking the minimum amount of $2,000,-
000 and Investing it- at, say, 4 per cent.
would yield an income of $80,000 a year, or
enough to aend 100 boys to college with
$800 a year to spend.
The specific bequest amounts to about
$1,600,000 and the principal amounts are as
follows:
To the Champlaln Valley hospital of this
city, $26,000 to complete the building, on
which about $50,000 raised by popular sub
scription has already been spent, and an
endowment of $200,000.

association, $35,000.
To the-Home for the Friendless, $50,000.
To the Vilas Old Ladles' home, $60,000.
To the city of Plattsburg for a new city
hall, $200JOOO; the city to provide the site.
To the Wesleyan Methodist church of
West Chaaey, N. Y., In the churchyard of
which Mr. Smith's mother Is burled, $20,00
for a new church, $16,000 for a new par
sonage and chapel and $3,000, the Income of
which Is to take care of the lot containing
hla mother's grave.

this city, he -gave $50,000 outright. $7,0CO per
annum for life out of his residuary es
tate, and the use of the magniflclent resi
dence on Broad street In this city for life.
To his brother, Floyd L. Smith of West
Chaaey, N. Y., he gave $250,000 outright
and the Broad street residence, subject to
Miss Bassett's life Interest.
To his nephew, Loal Smith of Peoria,
III., he gave $10,000. To his nelce, Mrs.
Everett Towne of Burlington. Vt., $10,000.
To about forty distant relattvea scattered
over the United States, he gave amounts
varying from $2,500 to $7,500. He remem
bered them all by leaving such a substan
tial sum, although many, of them. It Is
said, he had never seen. To several inti
mate friends he left sums varying from
$1,000 to $5,000. e .
Mr. Smith has often been heard to Bay
that he felt the need ot a college educa
tion and he wanted to do what he could to
kmake the boys of Clinton county the best
educated In the world.
