Rev. Mr. W’illiams ‘Heartuy En-
' dorses Hood’s Sarsaparillw.
We are pleased to present this from
Rev. A. A: W'illiams, of the Sillsbee
street Christian Church, Lynn, Mass.:
“ I see no reason why a. clergyman, more than
a. layman, who knows whereof he speaks,
should hesitate to approve an
Article of Merit
and worth, from which he or. his family have
been signally benefited, and whose commenda-
tion may serve to extend those benefits _to
others by increasing their confidence. My Wife
has for many years been a. suiferer from severe
Nervous Headache
for which she found little help. She has tried
many things that promised well but er-
formed little. Last fall a friend gave her a. ct-
tle of Hood’s Stirsaparilla. It seems sur. ris-
ing what simply one bottle could and (11 do
for her. The attacks of headache decreased in
number and were less violent in then Inten-
sity, while her general health has been 1m-
roved. Her a petite has also been better.
rom our experience With
Hood’s, Sareaparilla
I have no hesitation in endorsing its merits.”

GAMBLERS HAD FUNDS TO BUY
LEGISLATION. '
Governor, Altorney-Ge'neral and Pop
ulist Leader lmplicated.
TOPEKA, Kas., March 4.-—'Ihe Daily
Capital has made sensational charges
against Gov. Lewalling, his private secre-
tary, Fred J. Close; Attorney- General
Little, and James F. Legato of Leaven-
worth. 6
It was alleged that a corruption'fund
of $4,500 had been raised in Kansas City,
Kas., to be used in defeating anti-lot-
tery and anti-gambling bills that had
passed the Senate, and also to influence
the appointment of Police Commissioners
for that city, which the Governor makes.
The money was, it was charged, paid to
James F. Legato by Nelson F. Acres in
the presence of Attorney-General Little
' and Mr. Close, the uses to which it was
to be placed being fully discussed.
Gov. Lewelling, in an interview, said
he knew nothing of the alleged transac-
tion, but he had heard rumors two weeks
ago that money had been sent up from
Kansas City for a “legislative fund,” to
be used, as he understood, in endeavoring
to unite the two Houses by buying mem-
bers of one or the other to go over to the
opposite House. To a. correspondent he
said: “I knew nothing of the rumors
until I was informed of them last night
by Mr. Moffit of Wichita. I have faith in
both Mr. Little and Mr. Close, and do
not believe them cognizant of the use of
the money.
to influence me in any direction.”
To Judge Fitzgerald, an old personal
friend, who was pleading with him to
demand an investigation, he gave the in-
formation that Mr. Legato had endeavor-
ed to treat with officers of the- Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company
for a like amount to prevent a union of
the rival Houses.
Mr. Acres, the alleged agent of the
Kansas City parties, and Mr. Legato have
been in constant attendance at the Gov-
ernor’s office for the past two Weeks, but
they both left the city after the expose.
When a resolution was introduced in
the Senate providing for an investigation
the Populists made objection to its con-
sideration, and it went over until today.
There has been much excitement and
many inquiries, but no one seems able to
shed further light upon the subject than
that Mr. Legato indorsed drafts which
had been purchased by Kansas City
gamblers and lottery dealers. .
_Mr. Close would only say that not a
dollar of the money could be traced to
him, and Attorney-General Little only
made a general denial. An investigation
will unquestionably be ordered today.
The prevailing belief is that Gov. Lew-
elling has had his name used by’ those
around him, men whose action would in-
fluence him had the bills in question
come to him for signature and in
making the appointments of Commis-
sioners.
In the meantime, Mr. Legato and the
$4,500 have disappeared.
THIEVES MISSED $4,000.
Burglars Frightened Out of New Rochelle’l
Post Office.
NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y., March 4.-—An
' attempt was made to rob the post office
at this place yesterday. The thieves suc-
ceeded in gaining entrance to the build-
ing, but were probably frightened away
by a man named Flatt, who lives over the
post office. ,
' Flatt was taken ill during the night,
and the thieves evidently heard him
walking in his room. They fled without
taking anything of value.
There was $4,000 in the safe, and it is
supposed that the burglars intended to
blow open the safe and secure this money.
