CONSTIPATION
And Sour Stomach Caused This
Lady Much Suffering. Black-
Draught Relieved.
• ,-y-
Meadorsville, Ky.—Mrs. Pearl Pat-
rick, of this place, writes: “I was
very constipated. I had sour stomach
and was so uncomfortable. I went to
the doctor. He gave me some pills.
They weakened me and seemed
tear up my digestion. They would
gripe me and afterwards it seemed
I was more constipated than before.
I heard of Black-Draught and de-
cided to try it. I found it just what I
needed. It was an easy laxative, and
not bad to swallow. My digestion soon
improved. I got well of the sour stom-
ach, my bowels soon seemed normal,
no more griping, and I would take a
dose now and then, and was in good
Bhape.
I '-mnot say too much for Black.
Draught for it is the finest laxative
one can use.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has. for
many years been found of great value
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
bowel troubles. Easy to take, gentle
d reliable in its action, leaving no
after-effects, it has won the prplse
'sands of people who have used

PAPER
House Rales Committee Declines to
Report on Heflin’s Charges.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 28.—Con-
gress tonight is an armed camp. Just
at the moment when it appeared as if
the investigation into the Bernstorff
$50,000 slush fund would be pigeon-
holed, a personal combat broke out on
the floor between Representative
Thomas Heflin of Alabama and Pat-
rick D. North of North Dakota. Re-
publican repi*esentatiyes, including
Baer of North Dakota and Cooper of
Wisconsin rushed to Norton’s aid.
Half a dozen Southern Democrats ral-
lied around Heflin. For a moment a
pitched batle was threatened. It re-
quired the sergeant at arms to pry
the belligerents apart and restore or-
der.
The fight came after a bitter par-
liamentary battle in which the Demo-
cratic leaders had succeeding in
squashing talk of an investigation.
Republicans demanded a probe, but
had given up hope of “putting it ov-
er.”
Republican leaders tonight plan
concerted action. They declare they
will not permit the administration to
hush up the probe into the “slush”
fund and Heflin’s charges against
“thirteen or fourteen suspicious con-
gressmen.”
The biggest attendance in weeks
was on hand when the house conven-
ed to hear the report of the rules
committee which was expected to re-
port favorably on a resolution to
prove the whole slush fund affair.
Chairman Pou surprised everybody
by announcing the committee had de-
cided to hold up all resolutions. He
was booed and hooted by several
members when he made the following
statement: “In view of information
_-------- — ----- — ,,aWUii will be on the white slip which will
which the committee has received of be filed away in the steel case. A fil-
Saturday Will Be Last Day of Pres-
ent Session.
Austin, Texas, Sept. 28.—Saturday
will be the last day of the third spec-
ial session of the Thirty-fifth Legis-
lature. It will be devoted to final ac-
tion upon pending legislation which
is well along toward passage by both
houses. By general agreement the
next session of the Thirty-fifth Leg-
islature will be held in January. In
the interim the House and Senate in-
vestigating committee will be at
work.
It is probable that the investigators
will first give their attention to the
departments in the Capitol with a
view to discovering any improper
practices and to recommending bet-
ter business systems wherever pos-
sible.
While there is still strong senti-
ment to the effect that the depart-
ments are not economically conduct-
ed, the. impeachment of general Fer-
guson has turned the general trend
of the investigation toward construc-
tive work and an earnest effort will
be made to find means for a better
bookkeeping and accounting system.
In this connection heads of depart-
ments and experienced clerks will al-
so probably have a hearing that they
have long yearned for, because it is
the contention of many of them that
conditions imposed by the legislature
for the conduct of the state’s business
have led to much of the extravagance
and delay that is admitted to exist.
American Soldiers to be Card Indexed
Washington, Sept. 28.—Every sol-
dier in the American army is going to
be card indexed. His name, address,
next of kin, his location and rank
Nation-wide investigation of the
use of money furnished by the Ger-
man government now being conducted
by the Department of Justice the
committee on rules has decided to
take no action on the several resolu-
tions before it.”
No reflection on the house or any
member thereof was contained in Mr.
Heflin’s charges or the Lansing reve-
lation, he said, and no action would
be taken. Immediately a storm of in-
dignation burst around him. Ques-
tions were hurled from both sides of
the house.
ing division is to be organized in the
war department, with a branch in
Paris.
This statistical division will be or-
ganized when congress appropriates
the money, for which provision is
made in the general deficiency bill.
The department incidentally, has
abandoned the plan for numbering
every soldier for identification pm>
poses. Instead identification tags,
giving his name and company, will be
supplied to be worn about his neck, as
at present.
Wishes to Stand Trial for Murder of
Otto Koehler.
Hedda Burgemeister, German
nurse, charged by indictment with the
murder of Otto Koehler, multi-mil-
lionaire, who was shot and killed Nov.
12, 1914, wishes to come back to San
Antonio and stand trial. Motion to
revise judgment in the case, has been
filed in the Thirty-seventh District
Court.
Otto Koehler, many times a mil-
lionaire, a man of prominence and a
recognized financier of standing
throughout the country, was-shot‘and
killed late in the afternoon of Novem-
ber 12, 1914, in the house of Miss
Burgemeister, on Hunstock Avenue.
Miss Burgemeister surrendered to the
police and her indictment swiftly fol-
lowed. The case was set for Feb. 1,
1915 ,but in the meantime Miss
Burgemeister was released on ap-
pearance bond of $7,500.
When the case was called on Feb.
1, Miss Burgemeister failed to ap-
pear. A note was read that she was
going over to Germany and nurse the
wounded soldiers. In the motion to
revise judgment filed yesterday de-
fendant asks to stand trial, “that she
nay show the world the cause and
justification of said killing.”
The motion was filed by John L.
Sheppard of New York and Chambers
& Watson of this city, attorneys! for
the defendant. Miss Burgemeister,
according to her petition now is in
New York and wishes an “immediate
trial.” A further allegation is that
she did not ask her bondsmen to put
up her bond and in fact docs not
know them, and alleges that the
names given as sureties in the bond,
“James R. Voble and Mrs. Emma
Dorschell,” are fictitious.”—San An-
tonio Express.

Hail Near Wichita Falls.
Wichita Falls, Texas, Sept. 27.—
A destructive hail storm covering- a
wide area, occurred around Allendale,
southeast of this city, late yesterday,
stripping cotton plants and doing
damage to feed crops, insurance was
carried on the crops by many farmers
in the Allendale section.
Hobby Names Harley Adjutant
General.
Austin, Sept. 28.—Governor Hobby
this afternoon announced the ap-
pointment of Senator Janies A. Har-
ley of Seguin, Tex., to be adjutant
general of the state, filling the va-
cancy caused by the resignation of
Gen. Henry Hutchings.
Duke William’s Favorite Town.
William the Conqueror's favorite-
town was Caen (in Normandy), where
he and his duchess, Matilda, who de-
fied the canon law by marrying within
the forbidden degrees of consahguin
ity, did royal penance by building two
great abbeys, whose churches of St.
Etienne (St. Stephen) and La Trinito
contribute so greatly to Caen’s beauty
today. William’s church of St. Eti<
enne, stark and bold ahd lofty, most
wonderfully represents his indomita-
ble spirit and ideas. The smaller,
richer and more delicate Trinite Is no
less characteristically feminine a mon-
ument to Duchess Matilda. Another
memorial, an insignificant single stone
in a pretty, forgotten, flower-starred
byway of the old Protestant cemetery,
marks the spot where Beau Brummei,
the man who for all time made ‘‘ex-
quisite propriety” in dress the stand-
ard, lies in oblivion beneath the wav-
ing grasses of this Norman hillside.—>
Arthur Stanley Riggs, in the National
Geographic Magazine.
