Mrs, M. F. Jones, Burning Springs, Ky., writes: “We have been using Peruna for some time and have no hesitancy in recom- mending it for the thousand and one ailments of humanity. “From a personal test1 shall not hes- itate to recommend it, especially to all suffering women. «“Peruna has gained full confidence and a permanent stay in our home.” A Great Tonic.

Hot Springs, Ark., July 22.—Edit- ors W.T. Amis aod R. 0. Schaefer, who were convicted of contempt, ap- plied to Circuit Judge Evans for a writ of certiorari to review the judg- ment. The defendants were each fined $50 and sentenced to ten days in jail. Upon the representation of afriendly attorney the jail sentence was sus- pended during good behavior of the editors and upon the declaration of the attorney that the fines would be paid if the prison sentences were set aside or suspended. Messrs. Amis and Schaefer declined to pay the fine and concluded to con- test the judgment of the court. This is the second time the editors have been‘adjudged {n contempt of court. Last week they went to jail for a few hours rather than pay a fine. Twenty-one Outlaws Killed.

BRYAN AND HIS ENEMIES, It one might judge from the repub- cans and corporation newspapers of the United States—some of the latter calling themselves ‘“demo- cratic” —tbere is at the present time, an almost general uprising in the democratic ranks agalust the leader ship of William J. Bryan. If one might judge from a number of the democratic newspapers of the south- ern states the democratic sentiment of that section is rapidly crystalz!- ing {n opposition to Mr, Bryan. But the onlooker who based his judgment on these poor indications would be mightily fooled. He would be fooled because he had not the ability or inclination to look beneath the surface of things; fooled because, even when viewing only the surface, he did not distinguish between the real and the make-belleve. The newspaper campaign of de- traction and belittlement that 1s be- ing*waged against Mr. Bryanin the east and north does not voice demo- cratic sentiment. Nine-tenths of {t voices straight out republican sent!- ment through straight-out republi- can newspapers, and {fs easy to un- derstand. Republican leaders and republican newspapers, who must fight to defeat the democratic nom!- nee next year, naturally would pre fer to have the enemy choose a weak leader; naturally dread, above all things, the prospect of the strongest leader belng chosen, The other tenth, pretending to represent democratic sentiment, {s voiced by Harper's Weekly, the New York Times and other publications that, ostenta- tlously democratic, are really con- trolled by and do the bidding of the masters of piratical corporate wealth. It no more reflects genuine demo- cratic sentiment than does Thomas F, Ryan in proper person. As to the southern democratic leaders and editors, like Henry Wat- terson, who are involved in this cam- paign, they are leaders without a following. Claiming to voice public sentiment they are fast losing the power even to Influence it. Some of them fatuously and in ignorance, others with deliberate design, are permisting themselves to be used to pull the corporation chestnuts out of the fire. Yetmen who know south- ern sentiment know, as Champ Clark said recently after an extensive lec- ture tour of the south, that demo- cratic senttment for Mr. Bryan south of Mason’s and Dixon’s Ifne {s more pronounced than it has ever been be- fore. The same condition exists in the north. I¢{s not because the demo- cratic party has not other leaders, who have the democratic confidence and are worthy of it. But{t is be- cause Mr. Bryan, as no other public man of his day, has been tested in the crucible and been proved pure|&' gold. It 1s becanee he, more than any other man in elther party, has been the ploneer and is the apostle of the policles that have so firm a hold on the people; because, thanks to him, the democratic party has come to be she greatest positive and {nspi- og nnd regenerative force ia our :. s#lonal life. Tie Worli-Herald would be the last .v deny the corpore.tlon repub- Mean press or the corporstion “dem- ocratic” prees the privilege of resist- lug Mr. Bryan with might and main; it would be the last to deny honest democrats the right to favor some other true democrat for president. But it does protest against the transparent, filmsy attempt to de- pict corporation hatred and fear of Mr. Bryan as representative of an: - thing else but what{it is. —Omaha World-Herald.

PEO ‘STILL THE ELKS MARCHED ON. Blaring Bands and Clanging Am- bulance Gongs Mingled With the Shouts For Aid and Cheers For the Marchers in Swelter- ing Philadelphia. Philadelphia, July 22 —Fourthou- sand three hundred and eighty per- sons in the {mmense throngs which had gathered to see the parade of the Elks dropped victims. of a deadly combination of heat and humidity. Men, women and children fell as though under fire from some unseen ambuscade, Five are dead and in the crowded hospital from forty to fifty are dying. Emergency hospitals were hastily constructed under the grandstands and inside streets, while at the hosp!- tal stricken persons were laid !nrows upon grass outside. Stores and wagons were converted into wards. Motorcars, carriages and every form of vehicle was pressed into service to help patrols and ambulances. Lemonade, in which adulterants had been put, were sold freelyto the crowd. The chief police surgeon, Dr. Patterson, sald that many proatra- tions were due to that, and also to the fact that those who suffered has started out early in the morning with little or no breakfast and had sat or stood for hours. MANY NOT REPORTED, “No definite record could be kept of case,” sald Dr. Patterson. ‘“Probs- bly a8 many more again as our offi- cial figures show were treated and sent directly to thelr homes. I have never heard of anything like this be- fore.” Included among the victims were widely known citizens and Elks. Harry J. Walters, exaulted ruler of the Philadelphia lodge, fell in the street as he marched by Girard avenue. He fs very tllatSt. Joseph’s hospital. The past grand exalted ruler, Judge John A. Melvin, of Oak- land, was treated at one of the emer- gency stations and sent to his hotel. These are only two cases out of many among the marchers. A THUNDERSTORM STOPPED IT, Men with megaphones in the tele- phone booths, attached high above the street to telegraph poles, shout- ed out such messages as: “Send two wagons to Broad and Green streets;” “Four down at Broad and Spruce;” “Thirty-five have just fallen in the crowd at Berks street; ‘Don’t send any more to the Pennsylvania hos- pital, 1t’s being swamped.” And through all this bedlam, with bands playing lively music and flags gaily flying, the paraders marched on. Now and then an Elk would topple over or stagger toward the ropes. The gap would close up and his comrades would go marching on.

This action was taken in response to recent widespread, agitation agalnst the ruthless slaughter of elks to provide teeth for members of the order. Point was given to this agt- tation not long ago by the arrest of two elk slayers, who had several vite thousand teeth in their possession. It} ischarged by those ‘who have been denouncing the practice of wearing elke’ teeth that the custom threatens the extinction of the elk. The Jingoes at Work. The Jingoes in the United States} and Japan are doing thelr best to | stir up @ war sentiment. When a Joud-mouthed Japanese booster issues a challenge itis taken up by some swaggering American and threats are tossed back and forth across the ocean. What occasion ts there for war or war talk? Itany!} Japanese has suffered violence our courts are open to him; no foreigner will be dented redress for any fojury | he may suffer. Japan has no com- plaint against us and we have no complaint against her. Why this massing of our flset on the Pactfic? Is {t just to show Japan what we tould do? If so, it is a bom- baatic diaplay unworthy of us; {fit has no connection with the Japanese question {t 1s unpatriotic for sensa- tlonal papers to represent {tas an evidence of elther hostility or fear. In both countries the advocates of a large navy will selz9 upon the {nel- dent as an excuse for demanding | more war ships, but to just and peace-loving citizens the situation ought to be a warning against the milltary spirit which a lirge navy | develops. It {s popular just now to urge shooting galleries, rifle ranges and big battleships as peace prome- ters, but {t is as absurd to expect these things to bring peace as tt would be to expect personal encount- ers to be decreased by the teaching of prize fighting {n the publie schools.

Jefferson City, July 22.—Governor Folk heard the different parties who appeared for and against the appli- cation for the commutation of the sentence of William Spaugh, Jr., who {s scheduled to hang in Reynolds county for she murder of Sheriff Polk, of Iron county. At the conclusion of the hearing the Governor took the case under advisement. It is not likely that he will interfere with the sentence of the court {n this case.

The Farmer’s Wife Is very careful about her churn. She sealds it thoroughly after using, and gives it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows that if her churn is sour it will taint the butter that is made in it. The stomach is a churn, In the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed pro- cesses which are almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if this stomach-churn is foul it makes foul all which is put into {t? The evil of a foul stomach ts not alone the bad taste in the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissem- ination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery makes the sour and foul stomach sweet, It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn—absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting ele- ment. In this way it cures blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, sores, or open eati ulcers and all humors or diseases aris]ng from bad blood.

He says that he can prove that he was not in Macon county at that time and te substantiated in his statement by his sister-in-law, Mrs: Dr. Woodrow, who fs well known {in thiscommunity. Mrs. Dr. Woodrow claims that she was with Mr. Davidson during the whole year of 1879, and that David- son was not at or near the scene of the crime. Locating the Soul. “The soul of & man is soft and gelatinous, small, practically shape- less, and situated beneath the first rib. Below the Adam’s apple in a man, and {on a woman at the base of her throat, {s a spot of little or no resistance. It {s from this place, when the hour of death has come, that the soul must be taken. Itdoes not pass like a shadow. It {s nota flight. The soul must be drawn out by an angel sent to perform this operation. And this seat of life is transferred, warm, palpitating, toa body the countepart of the one ithas left. It {s substantial, material, aud could be as well caught by the camera of the human face.”’ It was thus that Henry Price, of Mount Vernon, the retired musician, who is now an inmate of the Mary Fisher Home for the Aged, explained his theory of the soul’s passage and the possibility of obtaining a photo- graphic reproduction thereof. He has urged the Bellevue authorities to allow him to experiment on the dy- ing in the hospital !n the presence of scientific men and others. She Saw Her Son Murdered. Bayonne, N. J., July 22.—The police hereby prevented a lynching after the murder of 18-year-old Joseph Brozin- ski by Frank Foreman, 33 yearsold, a boarder in the home of the boy’s widowed mother. When the boy sought to protect his mother from the man Foreman, standing seven feet away, fired two charges from a shotgun at the boy. The mother of theslain boy lay cowered in bed untill | after the man had been taken to jail. | She did not even make an outcry when the boy was murdered. Later, , She was too hysterical to talk.
