McCaffery Restored To Good Standing with Racers j New York, Oct. 7. —Announcement is made that J. J. McCaffery, a well known horse owner and trainer and one of the most picturesque figures of the turf, today will be restored to good stanuiug in racing affairs,' through the clemency of Thomas H. Williams, president of the California Jockey club in withdrawing a decis ion ruling McCaffery off the turf. The action under McCaffery was ruled off in San Francisco two years ago, fol-' lowed official investigation of charges i made against each other by McCaf-' fery and C. E. Durncll, which caused the San Francisco turf officials to im pose fines on both. Neither of the men who after having been close friends, had become bitter enemies, was satisfied and on appeal from the first decision they renewed such charges against ea-jh other as to cause the California Jockey to rule both of them off the turf. Durnell's secured reinstatement after a few months, but Caffery has remained in exile, barred from all the privileges of the turf, up to date. Reservation Thrown Open. Pierre, S.

Democrats Of Bay Stat One Division Nominates Whilnzy And Endorses Dinglev Tariff —G. F. Williams Pt esides Over Other Faction. . Springfield, Mass, Oct. s.—lmmc , diately after the call to order the dem ' ocratic state convention resolved itself into two bodies, Daniel J. Kiley, of the Bartlett delegation, presiding over one section and ex-Congressman Conry, a Whitney supporter over the other. The Bartlett men hold to the stage while the Whitney men were assem bled at the rear of the hall. The Barletr convention declared a recess to expedite the committee work. The Whitney gathering worked expe ditiously, placing Henry M. Whitney in nomination for governor by acclama tion, naming the rest of the ticket in the same way. The platform endorsed the Dingley tariff and advocated unrestricted trade with Canada and reciprocity. When the Bartlett convention reas sembled the platform was read by George Fred Williams and was adopt ed, which expressed opposition to pri vate monopoly, condemnation of un lawful rebates and discrimination by, railroads. Charles W. Bartlett was then nomi-j \ nated for governor, the state commit- j tee being authorized to complete the ticket. Boston, Mass., Oct. s.—The fiercest political battle Massachusetts has I witnessed in a score of years begins today with the holding of the state nominating conventions by the two leading parties. While the republicans are holding their convention in Boston the demo (crats meet at Springfield. Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., and Lieutenant Gov ernor E. S. Draper will be renominat ed by the republicans, i Henry M. Whitney will be the demo l cratic standard bearer and his run- j j niug mate in all probability will be. George A. Schoflehl, of Ipswich, well ' known as the persistent advocate of the veterans' bounty bill. The campaign is bound to attract i national attention. The administration ( itself is concerned deeply over the out- ( ' come of the off-year election in Mas- j ' sachusetts for two reasons—one that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, the clos-| jest friend of President Roosevelt in' congress, is confronted with a desper ate fight as leader of the state organi-J • zation, and the other that Henry M. I i Whitney, the democratic nominee, is j known as the original member of the "Ananias Club." | Henry M. Whitney is going to make j his campaign on a tariff - reform plat -1 form. He is a brother of the late Wm.! i C. Whitney, of New York, a man of j large financial interests, who has long ' taken a prominent part in the politics of the state, but, until a few years ago, not in # a manner to give him na j tional prominence. I Thomas W. Lawson helped to bring i him into prominence by making him one of the characters in "Frenzied Fin-. 1 ance.'' Mr. Whitney's hobby in poli-J , tics has been tariff reform, and on that issue he came near being elected lieu ■ tenant governor two years ago. ' A year or so ago he went to Wash ington and called on President Roose velt to voice the demand of Massachu setts tariff revisionists for certain lines of action. Afterward he gave out some statements relative to things he said the president had told him he favored, j and a forcible denial from President Roosevelt followed. That started the famous "Annanias Club" and likewise stirred up much of the trouble about tariff reform of which Massachussetts 1 has been the center. Senator Lodge is fighting with all his power to force the tariff and all . national issues to the rear, on the ground that they have no place in a purely state campaign. • The republican contention, voic«d by Mr. Lodge, is that there is plenty. to talk about in what pertains to the i conduct of the state government and that the tariff issue has been raised; [to befog the situation. It is expected that the national administration will! lend its influence in every way it can! . to defeat the election of Whitney be cause of the personal enmity between the latter and President Roosevelt and the knowledge that Whitney's victory in a year preceding a presidential campaign would be used throughout the country as an alleged repudiation of the Roosevelt administration.

This is where in digestion finds it 3 beginning in nearly every case. The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat the wrong lind of food, the digestive or gans cannot possibly do the work de manded of them. It is at such times that the stomach needs help; it de mands help, and warns you by head aches, belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at. once by taking something that will actually do the work for the stom ach. Kodol will do this.

"Go 'way!" the onion, weeping, cried; "Your love I cannot be; The pumpkin be your lawful bride— You canteloupe with me." But onward stiil the tuber came, And lay down at her feet; "You cauliflower by any name And it will smell as sweet; And I, too, am an early rose, And you I've come to see; So don't turnip your lovely nose, But si inchat with me." "I do not carrot all to wed, So, go, sir, if you please!" The modest onion meekly said, "And lettuce, pray, have peas! Go, think you have never seen Myself, or smelled my sigh; Too long a maiden I nave Jjoen For favors in your rye!" "Ah, spare a cuss!" the tuber prayed; "My cherryshed bride you'll be; You are the only weeping maid That's currant now with me!" And as the wiley tubor spoke He caught her by surprise, * And, giving her an artichoke, Devoured her with his eyes. —Philadelphia Record. Furniture Factory Makes Record- Breaking Month. Mt. Airy, N.
