fellow Republicans of the old Keystone 1
state to vote tue full Republican tick- ,

That tho n..ttudp of Coverno- Stuart ,
nas dlsi oncerteil the opposition la
shown m the editorial comments of
tho few newspapers for Barry 1
Prior to his coming out In favor of
Mr. Tenor the governor was tho sub
ject of lulsomc praise: he 1b now re
t'orrcd to by these same editors as
"weak and vacillating." But these
silly attacks upon Edwin S. Stuart
simply react upon those responsible
tor them and serve to emphasize tho
position taken by the most popular
chief executive of Pennsylvania.
Governor Stuart did not make hla
public declaration until he had thor
oughly investigated the chara. ter and
lntontlons of tho candidates and con
vinced himself that they would all
carry out tho pledges made to the
people in the party platform and In
their public utterances. ,
Will Keep His Word.
Before the Harrlsburg meeting Gov
ernor Stuart had a long talk with
Congressman Tenor at the exocutlve
mansion In which the whole situation
was thoroughly discussed and tho
governor, who that night was called
upon to present the party nominee re
ferred to this fact when ho said:
"I had today a very frank and man
ly talk with the candidate, and he as
sures mo that ho understands thor
oughly the responsibilities of tho great
o.llre for which he Is a candidate, and
if elected to that office his only ambi
tion will be to give an honorable ad
ministration In the Interest and for
the benefit of all tho people. i
"He assures mo that there are no
other oblisatleus to ask him or to
make him do anything olso, and the
one thing he desires and the oa? thine
he will do is that on every (juostlon
coming before him for his -pproval or
action, he will use his Judgmont and
be guided by what he thinks Is for the
best Intercut of Pennsylvania and her
peoplo.
"I am very sll to ay that four
years ago in a campaign he was a
very loyal friend and supporter of
myself in that celebrated campaign,
pud I take great pleasure in Introduc
ing to you tae man who is the candi
date of the Republican party and the
man who, I an satisfied, will do what
ho promises you hf will do If oluctod
to that high and honorable office.
"I say that with all sincerity, and I
now take great pleasure In introduc
ing the Hon. John K. Tencr. tho candl
date of tho Republican party for gov
ernor of Pennsylvania."
Governor Stuart, If he did not have
full faith In Mr. Toner would not have
uttered those words. He Is not that
btrlpo of a man.
In the four years that he has served
tho state Mr. Stuart has earned the
confidence and respect of his fellow
citizens by his uprightness and his In
dependence ot action, guided by con
servation and extreme caption.
Governor Stuart spoke to tho people
at large when he addressed tho meet
ing n the stato capital, but there was
a stronger appeal a few nights after
ward In a Hptwli which he made to his
neighbors In South Philadelphia at
ono of the greatest popular demon
strations over given In tho Quaker
City In honor ot any candidate for of-
i flee, With Congressman Toner seated
upon tho same platform, tho governor,
' speaking to a vast audience, with ton
t thousand mon In tho streets unablo to
gain entrance to the hall, called upon
bis friends, many nf them companions
of his boyhood days, to not only vot
for Mr, Toner and tho entire Republi
can tlcltot, but to work loyally for th
Hiiccoss of tho Republican causo.
Governor Stuart, besides paying
splendid tribute to tho nominees on the
state tlckot and dwelling upon the
desirability of continuing a Republican
administration In tho state govern
ment, dlrcctod attention to the na
tional phaso of the campaign. Ho told
of the Importance to Pennsylvania's
business and Industrial Interests of
maintaining a Republican majority In
congress and of tho '.-fforta of the
Democrats to capture doubtful dis
tricts In this state In tholr fight to
win control of tho national house. He
therefore urged every Republican to
vote tho full Republican ticket, that
Pennsylvania shall acain head the Re
publican column,
VICTORY CERTAIN
ON TUESDAY NEXT
Pennsylvania Republicans Pre
pare For Rousing Majority.
WALTON'S GALL TO ACTION
I State Chairman Urges All to Go to
the Polls to Insure a Magnificent
Triumph.
In tho closing days of the campaign
there is the greatest confidence among
the Republican leaders of a sweoplng
victory for the full Republican state
ticket
Chairman Henry F. Walton, Secre
tary V. Harry Baker and tho other
active spirits at the Republican state
commltteo headquarters in Philadel
phia report that there has been a re
markable change In situation In a
number of counties to the advantago
of the Republican candidates owing to
the stronuous campaign that has been
under way during the last two weeks,
Districts which some time ago were
classed as doubtful are now certain
to be carried for John K. Tener for
jovernor and all his colloagues on tho
Republican ticket.
A final note of warning has been
sounded by field marshal Walton to
Republican committeemen to guard
.gainst the danger of over-confldenco,
and Republicans are generally admon
lshed to refrain from giving "compll
msntary votes" to Democratic or Inde
pendent candidates In local contests
and are urged to voto the full Repub
lican ticket to insure tho counting of
their ballot.
National Issues Involved.
The importance of the election on
account of the congressional contest
is emphasized by Senator Penrose,
who Is anxious that Pennsylvania
shall maintain her prestige as the lead.
lng Republican state of the union In
tho house at Washington. Pennsylva
nia by rearon of her large delegation
in the present house was enabled to
protect her interests in framing the
prosent tariff act.
Republican stato leaders in com
menting upon the result of a canvas of
Pennsylvania made by the Philadel
phia Press and published last Sunday,
insist that Its estimated plurality for
John K. Tener, the Republican candi
date for governor. Is too low. The
Philadelphia Pross says that "Impar
tial estimates furnished the Press
from all the counties" give tho Repub
lican sUte ticket a plurality of 125,750.
While the leaders say they are not
ready to make public their estimates
by counties they admit that their re
ports give Mr. Tener over 150,000 plu
rality and some express tho opinion
that the final figures will be even
larger.

VAN VALKEN3URG
TO FACE JURY
arly Trial ol Toner's Criminal
Suit Demanded,
COMPANY SEEKS DAMAGES
National Public Utllltlti Corporation
Sues For $250,000 For Alleged Mali
cious Libel.
Following up the blading over for
court of E. A. Van Valkeaburf , editor
of the North American, on tho charge
of criminal llbol, made uion affidavit
of John K. Tenor, the Republican nom-
JOHN K. TKXHK.
nee lor governor now demands that
the case shall be brought to trial at
the earliest possible moment
Mr. Tener wants a complete judicial
Investigation of the charges made by
Editor Van Valkenburg, all of which
Mr. Tener hns denied under oath, and
he Insists that there shall be no un
necessary delay in bringing tho caBe
to an issue.
The dastardly nature of the attacks
made upon Mr. Tener has reacted
upon the authors and absolutely failed
of the purpose.
A. S. L. Shields, of counsel for Mr.
Tener, In presenting tho case against
Editor Van Valkenburg, charged him
with wilful and defamatory llbol, and
In referring to his client, he said:
An Honored Name.
"Mr. Tener is a resident of Charle
oi, Pa. He has lived a life of probity
und righteousness and his conduct has
been such that his neighbors and con
stituents have respected him, and tfiey
have acclaimed him by sending him ob
a congressman to Washington.
'This citizen of Pennsylvania Is
known and houored by all his neigh
bor and frlonds. His family name has
never been besmirched, and ho has
been nominated by a Republican con
vention of the state of Pennsylvania
as the unanimous choice for governor
of this commonwealth. Mr. Tener has
submitted his name to the citizens ot
Pennsylvania Is a candidate for that
office."
He then reviewed the attacks made
ujion Mr. Tenor and hold how in ad
vance of the original publication the
newspaper had solicited sales of ex
tra copies based upon what It was go
ing to say about Mr. Tener.
Waiving his legal right to ask a
commitment on the affidavit, Mr. Ten
er took the stand as the only witness
at the hearing, saying that ho was
perfectly willing to tell every detail
of his connection with the National
Public Utilities corporation and the
Security Life and Annuity company.
and to prove that he entered these
corporations honestly and openly and
for legitimate business reasons.
After he had given direct testimony
as to his connections with tho two
companies he was subjected to a rigid
cross examination by former Judge
James Gay Cordon, counsel for Mr.
Van Valkenburg, In spite of tho nu
merous questions hurled at him and
tho lawyer's efforts to entrap him.
Mr. Tenor replied to every question
In a straightforward manner, bearing
out all of tho public statements ne has
made since tho charges against him
were publlBhod.
As tho result of his testimony Mr.
Van Valkonburg was held In $5000
ball for court on tho charge of having
criminally libeled the candidate, caus
ing Injury to his business and reputa
tion Security was furnished and Mr.
Vun Valkenburg was roIeuBed.
Heavy Damages Demanded.
Not only is Van Vnlkonburg being
prosecuted criminally by Candidate
Tencr, but ho and the North Ameri
can have been sued for $2G0,C00 dam
uges by the National Public Utilltlos
company, tho corporation with which
Mr Tener wus connected and which
has been thu subject of the Journalistic
ussaults.
This suit Is sepnrato and upart from
Mr. Toner's action and Is based upon
the series of articles designed to In
uro thu Republican cuudldato for gov
ernor. The bill of purtieuiarH in this case,
filed upon affidavit of Thomas Brom
ley, Jr., assistant treasurer, among
other things says that thu publications
In the North American contained
"false, scandaloui), lllegul, defamatory
und malicious" libels.
Tho affidavit further states that the
charges affectlnv the enmnanv "are
false, malicious and untrue, and tho
said defendants' have wilfully and
wnntonly published tho samo with no
other motive thnn to Increaso the cir
culation of their nowspapor and to
work up a vindictive and rcvengotul
feeling In a political campaign.
"That by reason of said libelous
publications tho snid plaintiff has suf
forod great loss and damago In its
business since the first publication on
Oct. 13, 19.1, of said newspaper con
taining sa'd libelous charges and
statements, has been Impaired, Its
debtors have rofused to pay tholr In
debtedness to tho company. In conse
quence of which plaintiff company has
not bocn able to meet its obligations,
thereby causing suit to be brought
against It; and work on Its enterprises
Iirr had to ecaso by reason thereof,
nnd tho good name nnil reputation tl
said plaintiff corpoiailon has been so
vilified and dofamod that 'the damage
and Injury to tho plaintiff Is lrropar
able. Plnlntlff, therefore, claims of de
fendants damages to the sum of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
which sum Is Justly duo tho plaintiff.''

day, Oct. 13, nnd lasted until the 10th.
Thu great violence of the storm was
about sixty-two hours In duration.
Captain Curtis, finding from the ba
rometer and the general appearance of
the sky that n hurricane was about to
break, steamed toward tho center of
tho gulf In order to secure sea room
to ride out the storm.
He wns about lf0 miles west of Tor
tugus when tho worst of the storm
occurred. Tho wind blew from 01) to
100 miles nn hour, nnd the seas broke
continuously over the vessel, sweeping
away live lifeboats. Doors and win
dows of the deck houses forward were
smashed, and the wntcr filled the
smoking room like a well.

no one knows except the man himself,
who was seen by no one else and has
not been found.
Hut, whatever It wns, it seemed to
make Miller furious, and the sound of
his voice raised In anger awoke his
wife In their living rooms, back of tho
saloou
Miller made n few more explosive
remarks, and suddenly everything be
came still except for footsteps hurry
ing out of the side door of the saloon.
Mrs. Miller hurried behind tho bar.

HOW TO CURE A
TERRIFIC HEADACHE,
Many people suffer with an aching head
week after week, occasionally getting relief
from so-called headache powders and nerve
stupefying drugs. They never get cured
because they start wrong. Such people
should do a little commonsense thinking.
Headache is simply the result, a warning
signal, of a far more serious trouble. Usu
ally it means bad blood poisoned by an in
active or sluggish liver. Headache suffer
ers are often nervous, cross and irritable ?
iheir sleep is disturbed and digestion im- ,
paired. The liver doesn't doits work richt. 1
and the bile elements poison both nerve ;
ana oratn.
Smith's Tineapple and Butternut Pills
remove the cause of headache. They aro
Nature's true laxative, and give tone to
liver activity, area positive specific for bil-
iousness and a torpid liver. Get your liver
right by using Smith's Pineapple and But-
ternut Pills and your head won't ache,
your nerves won't weaken, nor your food
distress you. Physicians use and recora-
mend. They form no habit. You should
always keep them on hand. These little
Vegetable Pills will ward off many ills.
