Big Consignment of Tainted
Money Will Be Accepted if
Rockefeller Gives It.
New York Sun Special Service.
St. Louis, Mav 18.Hinti ng broadlv
that, there was a gift of $10,000,000 on
its -way to the American Baptist Home
Mission society, W S. Shallenberger of
Washington, I). second assistant
postmast er general and president of the
society, said last night, in his opening
address, that the gift would not be
refused because of the source from
Which it might come.
"All money is primari ly God s. If
it conies to us for the furtherance of
God's work, and it comes from men
ho have a legal rig ht to its posses
sion, we have no rig ht to question the
source of supply. We shall accept it
as our own returning to us."
The words of Mr. Shallenberger we re
received with much approbati on from
a part of the audience, but among oth
ers there was a marked failure to ap
plaud.
In manv quarters the remark had
Siat
reat significance in view of the fact
John D. Rockefeller is supposed
to be the donor.
Mr. Shallenberger stated that the
sum was for the establishment of a
fund to support superannuated minis
ters and missionaries of the Baptist
denomination.
"NO GIFTS WILL ATONE"
Oongregationalists Look with Disfavor
on Tainted Money.
Bmghamton, N Y., May 18.At the
seventy-second annual meeting of the
New York State Association of Con
regational Churches here, the commit
iee on applied Christiani ty has made a
report, of which a portion is devoted
to the discussion of "the church and
wealth." The report on this point
says:
W believe the supreme question before
the church today is to teach brotherhood
as the only true basis of business. Wi th
natural wealth open to the use of all men
we believe industrial combination in the
Interest of economy would develop natur
allv ard with injury to none
We believe the church should guard
against all such alliances with institu
tions or individuals of great wealth as can
give color to the charge that the church
Is under the domination of the rich, or
that her ministry is silenced regarding
business methods oppressive and menac
ing to personal independence.
It is our conviction that no gifts to
charitable or religious enterprises can
atone for the wrong done against society
by financial or industrial methods which
ignore the natural law that only the cre
ators of wealth are worthy to enjoy or
distribute.

"Bramerd, Minn., May 18.Examin er
Kerst and a deputy are overhauling the
books of the Northern Pacific State
bank, which was closed on Tuesday,
but are not ready to make a statement
of its condition.
Officers of the bank have enliste-l

declare that the resources are more than
ample to meet all the obligations.
Dr. Warner Hemstead will be con

DO YOU FEEL tttlS WAY.
Do you feel all tired out? Do you some
times think you just can't work away at
your profession or trade any longer? Do
you have a poor appetite, and lay awake at
nights unable to sleep Are your nerve9
all gone, and your stomach too?
Has ambition to forge ahead (Q in the
world
left you?
If so,
you might
as well put
a stop to your
misery. You can do
it if you will. Dr.
Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery
will make you a dif
ferent individual. It
will set your slug
tgish liver to work.
I It will get into every
vein in your body
and purify your
blood. It will set things right in your stom
ach, and your appetite will come back. If
there is any tendency in your family toward
consumption, it will keep that dread de
stroyer away. Even after consumption has
almost gained a foothold in the form of a
lingering cough, bronchitis, or bleeding at
the lungs, it will bring about speedy cure in
Q8 per cent, of all cases. It is a remedy pre
pared by Dr. R. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
whose advice is given free to all who wish to
write him. His great success has come from
his wide experience and varied practice.
O. S. Copenhaver, Esq., of Mount Union,
Huntingdon Co., Pa. (Box 222), writes: "About
twelve years ago 1 was suddenly taken with a
pain in the pit of the stomach which was so vio
lent I could not walk straight. It would grow
more severe until it caused waterbrash and vom
iting of a slimy yellow water. A physician told
me I had a form of dyspepsia and treated me for
about six months with but little benefit. An
other physician told me my liyer was out of or
der and that I had indigestion. He gave me a
treatment and I got some better but only for a
short time. I then tried another one, who said I
had chronic indigestion, ulceration of the lining
of the stomach, torpid liver and kidney affection.
He treated me for more than a year and I felt
much better, but it did not last I then took to
using several widely advertised patent medi
cines, but received no more than temporary re
lief. I then tried Dr. Pierce's medicines, U6ing
his Golden Medical Discovery,' and the Pleas
ant Pellets,' and in two months' time I waa feel
ing better than I had for years before
Don't be wheedled by a penny-grabbing
dealer into taking inferior substitutes for

Washington, May 18.The Bowen
Loomis case took an unexpected turn
yesterday, when Mr. Bowen reported to
Secretary Ta ft that two dispatches,
which he had sent to the. state depart
ment from Caracas and which have an
important bearing on the case, were
missing. Tuesday Mr. Bowen called Chamberlain along the White river val-
Secretary raft's attention to the fact'
have not been found. Mr.
iowen has copies of them which he
made at the time he sent them to the
state department from Caracas, and he
wiil send these copies to Secreta ry Taft.
Case Takes Serious Turn.
The investigati on which has been un
der way for the last few days has taken
a more serious phase, and it is under
stood that the administration will make
a deep and thoro inquiry into the case,
leaving no stoWe unturned to get the
truth. Tt is now predicted that the
investigati on cannot be completed this
week or even next. One man said he
would not be surprised if it should run
on for a month or more. This indicates
plainly that Secretary Taft intewds to
go to the bottom of it all.
Mr. Loomis says there is no dispute
as to the facts merely as to the sig
nificance of the m.
Altho on the face of it, the whole af
fair appears to reflect severely upon Mr.
Loomis, Secretary Ta ft regards the
$10,000 check as the most important in
the whole matter. That already has
been explained. The re is not a bit of
evidence showing that the explanation
is not true. On the contrary, one of
President Roosevelt's close personal
friends has assured him that the trans
action was exactly as representedan
exchange of checks for the purpose of
enabling the departing minister to con
vert his Venezuelan money into Ameri
can currency. But efforts will be made
by the United States to induce Presi
dent Castro to give whatever evidence
he may have on the subject.

norh of the
dividing line between the Rosebud a nod
Pine Ridge reservations. From there it
Evarts route has had many adherents
I is probable that the,, laiter guess is
the correct one. A high official of the
Milwaukee system has said that to the
best of his knowledge it has not yet
been determined by the directors how
to get west, but that they will likely
select tho Hastings & Dakota division
running due west from the twin cities
to Aberdeen, and then over the James
River division to Evarts and west. Chi
cago will be connected with this trans
continental by way of the White River
Valley lino via Chamberlain.
If this view JR, correct, the White
River line, which l& capitalized at $50,-
000,000, will finally be pushed west and
north to me et at a point west of the
Black Hills country, the Everts exten
sion to the coast. In either event, Min
'neapolis will profit greatly, whether the
'transcontinental proceeds directly west
from Chamberlain, or from Evarts, the
more northerly point. With the trans
continental headed direct from Minne
apolis over the Hastings & Dakota, the
benefits can hardly be estimated.
The Chamberlain extension will first
go south one and one-half miles to Oa
coma, on the west side of the river,
then slightly northwest thru Hotch City,
Earlin g, Presho and Moore to some new
townsite terminus between seventy and
one hundred miles beyond the Missouri,
or thru eleven townships.
Chamberlain is easily reached from
Minneapolis, and Milwauk ee passenger
officials expect a large traffic in pros
pectors ho are going down to be first
on the groun'd in Opportunityville,
as Colliers calls South Dakota, and
others who go thru curiosity, or to set
tle down. The train leaves Minneapo
lis at 6:45 p.m., and reaches Aberdeen
at 6:30 a.m. Passengers arrive at
Mitchell at 11 a.m. and Chamberlain is
reached at 6 p.m., with good connec
tions all the way thrif.
Lyman county, thru which the White
River valley extension will pass, adjoins

the south, the Missouri river on the

ease with which water may be secured

You and Your Food are a Misfit Sure
It's a relief to feel the sunshine and glow of perfect health,
bounding energy and "go" of the successful, brimful-of-
spirits ma n. The joy of livi ng real LIFE will come back
when you give your bo dy the kind of food it is mutely ap-
pealing for, that from which it can make good the daily
waste caused by brain work and exertion.
Suppose you abandon for a time the food which evidently
is not properly nourishing you, and go in for a 10-day test

comes to your case. Dr op tea and coffee absolutely and if
you want to get to the front by bounds cut your tobacco
down to at least one-half.
Now for breakfast,
A little very ripe fruit, a saucer of Grape-Nuts (not over four
heaping teaspoonfuls with some rich cream poured over it, insist on
cream, milk will do as a last resort, but water spoils the delicate sweet
flavor), a slice of very hard-baked toast, thinly buttered, and a cup of
Postum Food Coffee. No more.
That will carry you until lunch time, when the same ar
ticles can be used, and add a little hot clear soup.
Take dinner at 6 or 7 and have a generous portion of meat,
only one kind. Cut out the soup and fish, have 2 vegetables
and a Grape-Nu ts puddin g, a cup of Postum Food Coffee
(which will not keep you awake) and one or two slices of
buttered toast. QUIT THERE.
Two days thus will open yo ur eyes and 10 days make this
good old world seem a happy place again.
It's nice to be happy.
