THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1896. /J 78, T ORATORY IN THE FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. Congressman Loud Addressing Two Thousand Enthusiastic Republicans at the Mass-Meeting in the Big Lot on Valencia Street, Between Twenty-Third and Twenty- Fourth, Under the Auspices of the Central Republican Club of the Thirty-Fifth Assembly District. CONGRESSMAN LOUD TALKS ON THE SSUES Rousing Open - Air Mass- Meeting in the Thirty- Fifth. TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE CHEERED HIM. What Would Happen Should Bryan Be Elected in November. 1 THERE WOULD BE FAILURES EVERYWHERE. i | Fallacy of Silver Monometallism Ex- posed by a Clear Statement of Facts and Reasons. | | l The most densely populated portion of | the Mission was illuminated last night with the blaze of bonfires and the glare of rockets, testifying that the people of the T hirty-fourth, Thirty-fifth, Thirty-sixth | and Thirty-seventh Assembly districts | were loyal to the principles of Republican- ism. The occasion was a mass-meeting and reception tendered to Congressman Loud by tte Central Republican Club of the | Thirty-fifth Assembly District. The clubs | of the Thirty-fourth, Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh districts participated by | invitation. No hall could be found in the | district large enough to hold the great | crowd, and it was, therefore, determined to hold the mass-meeting in the vacant lot on Valencia street, between Twenty- | third and Twenty-fourth. H Benches were urranged in the lot in | front of the speakers’ stand for the accom- modation of about 2000 people, and half an hour before that time there was only standing-room left. The audience was more intelligent than the average, and the best of order pre- | vailed except at the beginning of the meeting, when a drunken man persisted in proposing three hiccoughs and a cheer for “William Jennings O’Bryan.” He was ! removed by the police and sought rest and oblivion in a steam-beer brewery run by a McKinley man. A brass band was in attendance and vo- cal music was furnished by the Ualifornia Quartet. The officers of the Central Club | of the Thirty-fifth Assembly District are as follows: V. F. Northrup, president; C. M. Depew, first vice-president; Dr. E. N. Torrelo, second vice-president; R. H. | Stafford, secretary; Joseph McKnight, as- sistant secretary; C. L. Hedemark, treas- urer, and E. h. Herrick, sergeant-at-arms, The vice-presidents of the meeting were: George W. Elder, F. H. Hurst. Charles Myers, E. W. Eustace, J. H. Har- ney, J. J. Jackson, George A. Rutz, W. W. 'Whan, R. H. Stafford, C.L. Hede mark, James McKnight, D. F. Mulville, J. W. Murphy, Perry J. Smith, W. Macy, M. J. McPherson, E. A. Grant, W. Rowe, Buron Kelly and Peter Wolf. The meeting was called 10 order by President Northrup, wio introduced as the first speaker Coneressman Loud, who was greeied with cordial applause. Mr. Loud began by saying that Mr. Bryan bad not said anything about open- ing the mills and factories of this country, although he had a good deal to say about opening the mints of the country to the free coinage of silver. Mr. Bryan appa- rently was unaware that in the United States Treasury to-day there was piled up silver bullion of the coinage value of $160,000,000, to coin which would require the mints of the United States Jto run their full capacity for three years. He urgea his hearers to lay aside all partisan consideration and vote on issues which were of vital interest to every per- son in the country, no matter how poor and how unfortunate he might be. While the speaker believed that this country cannot again be permanently prosperous until it shall have returned to that policy of protection of American in- dustries that made it prosperous, he be- lieved that the. financial question should be squarely met. The Democratic party unforiunately had brought up that ques- tion, because the relations of money und the scientific question of finance are not issues that should be determined by any ward caucus. They should be determined only after cool, calm deliberation and not after the heat and passion of a political campaign. The speaker, as 2 Republican, welcomed the issue. It should be fought out, and the sooner this attempt, at repudiation 1s met and strangled the sooner will this country embark on the sea of prosperity. If the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 is the proper thing to do we ought to have it. “1f it will bring this country to bimetal- lism we shall all welcome it, because there is not a man in this country who 1s not in- terested in true bimetallism, if that condl- tiou shall be reached at ail. “But,” continued Mr. Loud, *if the Government could cfeate values by legis- lative fiat it would be unnecessary ior us to labor, because if government can create a particle of value it can create enough to keep us in comfort for the rest of our days.” The speaker went on and asked what was the condition of every country to-day whose mines are openea to the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver. People had called attention to Mexico and have declared that Mexico was on a bimetallic basis. This assertion was not true, because Mexico had not coined a gold dollar for many years, for the simple reason that no man would take a gold dol- lar to the Mexican mint and have it coined into a siver dollar worth only 53 cents. He reminded his hearers also that the dear dollar is always held by the rich man and the cheap dollar by the poor man— the man wao works for wages. The speaker remembered taking his $20 roll and paying 8 and 10 per cent discount to get gold with which to pay his grocery bill, e predicted ‘that if Bryan shouid be elected the people who owned $600,000,- 000 in gold would take it out of circulation and cut the metallic curfency in two with- out waiting for Congress to meet and pass afree coinage bill. The resultof this enor- | mofis withdrawal of the currency would be failure upon every hand. Not a bank in the country could keep its doors open for iwenty-tour hours, and no man could afford to do business until we got on a sourd and firm foundation. How were they going to replace the $600,£00.000 of gold taken out of circula- tion? The silverites s2id that they would build mints enough to coin all the siiver in the country, but they forget that it costs money to build mints, and it takes time, and that the great mass of the seventy millions of people have to pay taxes to defray the cost of building these | mints and keeping them in running order. 1f the people could be assured that Me- Kinley would be elected on the 3d of No- vember from that moment the money now locked up in the vaults in this coun- try would begin circulating in the ave- nues of trade, and the factories would begin to open, and again would the work- ingman begin to receive good dollars for his day’s work, Did it never occur to the American peo- ple, he asked, that they never telt the de- | monetization of silver until 1892, nineteen years after the demonetization? Was it not a little oit strange that it should have occurred on the advent of the Democratic party to power? Could the people for one moment trust the party that four years ago pledged the people thatthey knew what the matter was, and tbat they would 80 legislate that the people wouid be made supremely happy. Mr. Bryan bad aitempted to array class against class in this country, and Ee and his followers should be told that they are 1n the wrong couatry for the preaching of such a doctrine. That might do in some monarchical and autocratic form of govern- ment, but not in this great, liberal Ameri- can Government. Three rousing rounds of cheers were | piece of silver worth a dollar that cost given for Mr. Loud at the close of his| speech. Major C. W. Kyle followed Mr. Loud. | He began by saying that even in the State | of Neyada there were stanch and | thoughtful Republicans. In Inyo and Mono counties, where he had been cam- | paigning recently, he had found the senti- | ment for sound money and McKinley. He | had addressed a stalwart club of 800 Mc- | Kinley Republicans in Carson, Nev., so that even in that silver State were to be found many patriots true to principle. Major Kyle then took up Mr. Bryan’s statement that this country was great enough and strong enough to do what- ever it desirea without the consent of other nations. But there was one thing, said the speaker, that no nation could do. It could not fix a commercial value of any commodity in the markets of the world. No power on earth, save with the consent of all the commercial world, could makea only 53 cents’ worth of labor to take out of the mines. The speaker advocated the building of a bigh wall of protection around this coun- try to shut out the competing products of the pauper labor of Europe and Asia. Major Kyle’s speech was brief, but ef- fective, and his remarks were received with frequent outburs:s of applause. A. P. Van Duzer, ex-United States Dis- trict Attorney, fullowed with a speech in which he saia that this campaign was one of promizes on the part of the Democratic party, which bad never kept its promises, That party, he alleged, was responsible for the depression which exists in the country. It had blown out the fires in the forges and bad stopped the wheels of industry with the free-trade heresy, and yet that party had the audacity to come béfore the people and ask for another term of office. Californians should remember that it was the Democratic party that took off 2 cents tariff on raisins ana ruined that industry. The speaker didn’t know A. B. Kinne, who was running for Congress. He seemed to be a stranger in the district. Mr. Van Duzer bad been informed that Kinne was a Health In?;eclur. If there was anything that the Democratic party needed it was a Health Inspector, for, judging from the odors emitied by that party, it was in a ver rotten state. Mr. Van Duzer told several funny anecdotes that kept his hearers in good humor. Be denounced the silver craze as the most gigantic fraud that had ever been perpetrated upon the people of this coun- iry, and read the following list to show that the prime movers and backers of this silver agitation were & band of mining millionaires: Hearst Estate, California.

Stern Unanimously Indorsed for Supervisor. There was a large and enthusiastic at- tendance at the meeting last night of the West End Republican Club of the Thirty- seventh Assembly District, D. I. Salomon presiding. The most important proceeding was the unanimous indorsement of M. M. Stern for Supervisor of the Twelfth Ward. Among the speakers of the evening were Dr. Salfield, M. M. Stern and General Salomon. Arrangements were completed for the grand rally and mass meeting under the auspices of the club next Thursday even- ing at the'Chutes. Senator Perkins, Hon. George A. Knicht, Hon. E. F. Loud and D. A. McKinlay will be the principal speakers on that occasion. The grounds will be thrown open to the public and it is expected that several thousand people will be in attendance. —————— Joint Mass-Meeting. A grand joint mass-meeting of the Cali- fornia Democratic Club No. 1 of the Thirty-third Assembiy District and Cali- fornia Democratic Club No. 2 of the Thirty-fifth Assembly District took place in Mangels Hall, Twenty-fourth and Fol- som streets, last night. L. M. Manzer, Joseph P. Kelly, Walter P. Stradiey, L. J. Dwyer and 6ther prominent speakers ad- dressed the meeting. A BiG 'KICK. Grievances of the Native Sons Against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. At the meeting of the excursion com- mittee of the Native Bons to-morrow night some objection will be made against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in connection with the recent celebration in Stockton. There are a number of grievances and one is on the question of rates. The agreement was that the company would charge $2 25 for the round trip and that the company would sell the reguiar ex- cursion ticket at two-thirds the usual rate, which was $3 35. That was the under- standing, so that the Native Sons would have control practically of the excursion- ists. The Native Bons sold their tickets at $2 50, thereby clearing 25 cents on each. On the 4. M. train that left for Stock- ton Tuesday the railroad people broke the agreement by seliing round-trip tickets at $250. instead of 5355 Every ticket thus sold made a loss of 25 cents to the Native Sons, they claim. Another grievance is that the special tiains were to be run on schedule time, but as a fact they were from one io three hours late both going and com- ing. The company also agreed to have ample. accommodation in Stockton {or all the excursionists, but on Wednes day morning at 1 o’clock, when the train left for this City, nearly 1000 people had to be left behind for want of room, and those who did get on the train were packed in what the Natives describe as cattle-cars, although they held uckets cailing for first-class accommodation. The feeling is so hot agninst the South- ern Pacific that it is aeclared that in fu- ture celebrations the Native Bons will arrange to have them in coast towns, so that steamers can carry the excursionists ‘fd be independent or{ the railroad peo- ple. Meyer Held to Answer. Henry Meyer was yesterday heid to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Joachim- sen in $2000 bonds on the cha: f grand larceny. He entered the room of J. F. Mail in the Marechal Niel Hotel and stole his gold watch and §75. A large quantity or stolen Jewelry and other articies was found in his roceeds of numerous other thefts, anothercharge of grand larceny igainst him, If you want your pet canary to sing his best and look his prettiest, feed him oc- casionally with hard-boiled eggs, chopped fine, and mixed with cracker crumbs. Do not give him more than a thimbleful of the mixture at a time. THE FIRST OF THE LOCAL TICKETS Buckleyites Get Through With Their Convention Labors. THE COURTS ARE NEXT. Nominees for Judges, School Directors and Supervisors Named, PLEDGED TO PAY MERCHANTS. To-Morrow the Ticket Goes to the Registrar and the Legal Con- test Will Fol'ow. The Buckleyites completed their ticket last nignt by making nominations for judicial offices, Sechool Directors and Su- pervisors. and their municipal convention adjourned sine die. On Monday the ticket will be presented to Registrar Hinton in proper form as the Regular Democratic Municipal ticket, en- titied 1o the place and party name belong- ing 10 the Democracy. Mr. Hinton, who is required to accept or reject it ‘‘forth- with,” is expected to rejectit, and upon his doing so the test case of the local fac- tions will at once go the Supreme Court on an application for a writ of mandamus. This ease will have large legal as well as judicial importance, and the Buckleyites will be represented by a number of able attorneys. They are supremely confident of having the law and the equities as well as by far the majority of the Democracy with them. On next Wednesday evening the Buck- leyites will hold a great local ratification meeting at Metropolitan Temple, at which all the candidates will show themselves and make brief speeches ana pledges. B'nai B'rith Hall waa crowded again last night and the work of the convention was cracked through with expedition and en- thusiasm., At the opening of the session Louis Goldstone presented a resolution regara- ing the debtof about $400,000 owing by the City to merchants for municipal supplies, referring to the debtasa ‘“disgrace and dishonor to the City.” The policy of the Board of Supervisors which brought about this result was condemned and nominees of the convention were pledged to the pay- ment of this indebtedness. The resolution was adooted, and W. F. Humphrey, secretary of the committee on platform and resolutions, read two planks amendatory of the platform. One was a substitute for the financial plank, fixing the tax rate to which the convention pledges its nominees at 75 cents instead of 890 cents, and the other related to the public schools. The planks, which were quickly adonted, were as follows: Financial—We pledge all our nominees toan economjcal expenditure of pubiic money. We piedze our ncminees for Supervisors to limit eighty-five a uscn)ed n\uninn of $857,586,126. as now fixed by the Assessor for the current year, but fnw requires that the rate just estab- lished by the State Board ot Equalization mast be adopted for City and County pur then we pledge our Supervisors 10 a rate of seven:y-five (75) cents on eech £100 on a total assessed valuation of $422,067,600. We exact this pledge becanse w!‘nc' reminded that the City an Count; government for the fiscal year 1888-1889 was run under the Democratic pledge of on each 100 on & total asses: value of 250,000,000 (exclusive of City Hall fund, in- terest fund and sinking fund), &hldlns $2,917,067 for all purposes of the City ane County. We believe what was done for the City and County in 1888-89, with a slightly increased allowance for tte Police Department and other purposes made necessary by recent legisiation, can be done in 1897-98, and that the City and County tax for said fiscal yesar should not exceed 85 cents or 75 cents, as_the case may be, on the $100 on the total valua- tion for City and County as aforesaid and tor all purposes. In the interest of economy and reform at home we have reduced our piedge below 90 cents to meet the shameless and discriminat- ing action of the State Board of Equalization in raising San Francisco County’s assessment 20 per cent, and thus imposing an aaditional burden on our taxpayers of $276,625 54 in coin, which we now meet in part by our re- duced pledge that saves our taxpayers $188,- 793 of the aforesaid sum unjustly imposed on them by the “stand and deliver’’ policy of the State Board of Equalization. The pledge is in contrast with the acts of the Republican majority and contbination in the present Board of Supervisors. who, in 1895-96, { with a total tax of $2 25 on each $100, of | which $156 was for City and County pur- { poses, on a total value returned by the As- sessor, raised and spent $£5,130,150 of money oses alone. Under our vledge, as above set orth, there will be saved each year under this xlnliurm about $2,118,648, o5 a reduction of 1 per cent to the taxpayer on the City and County taxes to be paid by him when com- pared with his tax bill of 1895-96. We commena the action of the Hon. Joseph 1. Dimond, present Supervisor of the Fifth Ward, for his fealty to his trust and feariess adberence to his pledge. We think it of the highest importance that the School Department of the City and Connty of San Francisco shall be for all time at iiberty to secure the highest and best talent available, and to employ for its teachers and instructors the persons best qualified for the work, whether educated in the public or private schools in other States, or in the public and private schools.of this State, or seli-educated. We believe that there should be but one test for the selection of a teacher in the public schools, and thet a test requiring the highest de&ree of integrity and ability. Ve furthermore denounce this exclusion of a large body of qualified citizens from the right to become teachers of our public schools | upon equal terms with other equally quaiifiea | | eitizens as an unconstitutionally imposed | aualification for holding of office, and as a de- nial of equal rights before the law. The report was adopted and then the | first and only vigorous contest of the con- vention quickly followed. It was another period of the battle over the nomination in the Seventeenth Senatorial District, waged by Thomas Egan and Lawrence Buckley and their friends, and in which | the Twenty-eichth and Twenty-ninth Assembly districts are sohaly arrayed | against each other. At the primary there | was a great contest at ballot-box stuffing. | Egan receiving 975 votes, just six more than the number of ballots Buckley’'s | friends could find to put in the box.| Buckley and his friends have been vigor- | ously but vainly pushing a contest. 8o John Rafferty read a report of a con- | vention of deiegates from the Seventeenth Benatorial District, at which the twenty- five delegates from the Twenty-eighth and four from the Twenty-ninth districts were present. This convention had resolved | that frands had been committed, and the report recommended that the convention | indorse Lawrence Buckley or order a new primary, or that the nomination ve re- | ferred to the delegates to the convention from the district. The friends of Egan and Buckley ap- peared of about equal numbers in the con- vention, and the ensuing proceedings were red hot for fifieen minutes. Amid great hvbbub, which Chairman Nealon resolutely tried to hold in check, Egan made a speech, and when Buckley bad made a speech in reply there were cheers for Egan and rival cheers for Buck- ley. There was a vote on the report, which Chairman Nealon declared lost. This almost threatened a riot by Buckley and his friends from the Twenty-eighth, but it was suppressed in its incipiency and Buckley’'s contest was shelvea. The committee on judiciary tken pre- sented its report, which was read by W. F. Humphreys. The report recommended the nomination df the following named for Superior Judges: Joseph Leggett, Frank J. Murasky, W. G. Burke and Rob- ert Ferral; Police Judges—Walter Gal- lagher, Dr. W. J. Gavigan, George W. Fox and r¥rank W. Lawler; Justices of the Peace—A. J. Fritz, W. E. Whnite, Frank Schilling, D. B. Richardsand J. C. Flood. The report was adopted and the nomi- nations were made unanimous. The committee on School Directors rec- ommended the following ticket: T. R. Carew, J. J. Dowling, G. A. Trost, P. T. Flinn, Dr. A. E. Biake, E. P. Farnsworth, J. J. McCarthy, H. B. Morey, James O’Connor, Frank Bragg, W. C. Read, Dr. H. R. Morton. The report was unanimously acc¢epted. For the unexpired term Superintendent of Public Instruction John A. Wall nomi- nated Robert Haight and the nomination was made by acclamation. For Supervisor from the First Ward Stephen Sanguinetti was proposed by Del- egate Morgan. Mr. Phillips named Henry Eckbart for the same post. It was decided that the vote should be taken by districts in order to save time. Sanguinetti was chosen by a large majority, getting 387 | votes to Mr. Eckhart's 58. For SBupervisor from the Second Ward Delegate Devoto suggested the name of Emil Kehrlein, who was forthwith nom- inated by acclamation. Charles W. Pope, the real-estate dealer, was nominaied by actlamation as Super- visor from the Fourth Ward, the Third being temporarily passed. Delegate Brady proposed Colonel A. A Andrews for the Kifth Ward, and the name of Dr.J. S. Stone being also sug- gested the names were put to a vote, re- sulting in a large majority for Dr. Stone, who received the nomination. Dr. W. D. McCarty proposed as nomi- nee for Supervisor from the Third Ward the name of J. B. McIntyre, who was nom- inated by acc.amation. John Rafferty next ‘gresonten as nomi- nee from the Seventh Ward ex-Supervisor James Ryan, who was unanimously nomi- nated. sor the Eighth Ward W, F. Humphreys proposed Charles Meyer, and Dr. Stanton offered the name of F. H. Molloy. The vote resulted in favor of Molloy. For Bupervisor from tne Sixth Ward Fred W. Eaton was nominated by acclamation. Joseph Rothschild suggested for the Ninth Ward H. B. Goecken. Another delegate proposed John Quig, who de- clined the nomination, and that of Mr. Goecken was made unanimous. T P. F. Cahill was proposed for the Tenth Ward, and Reel B, Terry nominated J. W. Fabey, proprietor of the Cosmopolitan Hotel,whose name was greeted with much %h%ering The nomination went to Mr. ahey. Dr.yDnvld Todd and Patrick Silk were proposed for the Eieventh Ward, the vote going for Dr. Todd, whose nomination was made unanimous. For the Twelfth Ward T. G. Parker was suggested and unanimously nominated. The following committees were ap- vointed by the chair: On purity of elec- tions, M. J. Donovan (chairman), Harry M. Kelly (secretary), Richard Mattingly, C.J. l{l«’arriug!on and Philip 8. Fay; on filling vacancies, Dr. James I. Clinton (chairman), William P. Humphreys (sec- retary), Charles J. MeCarthy, Samuel Newman and James I. Flynn. On motion of Mr. O’Brien, it wasor- dered that a ratification meeting be held next Wednesday evening at Metropolitan Temple, at which the candidates are to be present and pledge themselves to support the party platiorm. Joseph Rothschild moved that the con- vention confirm the reports from the As- sembly and Senatorial districts, and this precipitated another fierce and des- afring but brief and fatile ef- rort of Lawrence Buckley and his friends to get their Seventeenth Senatorial contest before the convention, but the convention had little patience for the fight, and the district convention reports, including the one that ratified Egan’s nomination, were confirmed. Amid_the disorder of adjournment James H. O'Brien shouted to Chairman Nealon the thanks of the convention for the fearless and impartial manner in collected from taxes ior City and Couaty pur- | | of his own serious maladies. NEW TO-DAY. THE CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. A Texas Florist Discovered What Scientists Could Not, ' DISEASE IS FERMENTATION Microbes the Cause, and to Cure All Disease You Must Kill the Germs. RADAM RIVALS PASTEUR An Antiseptic Gas Hirm!ess to Human Life, but Death to Microbes. DISCOVERED AMID FLOWAIRS, The Gas Saved the Life of the Inventor. Now It.Is Saving the Lives of Thousands. Twenty-five years ago William Radam, a young man then 25 years old, landed in New York. He was a German and could not speak English. He had been a soldier in the German army and later had peen in the employ of Emperor William in the Imperial Gardens, Bellevue. There he had learned, as only Germans can learn, how to care for flowersand trees. ‘When he landed in America it was natural that he should take up the cultivation of flowers and trees as a business. He began in Austin, Texas, and in a few years became one of the leading fiorists and nurserymen of the West. Wealth came to him, but did not bring him happi- ness, because as his material possessions grew his health failed. To the original complaint of malaria had been added rheumatism, then catarrh and finally con- sumption. After being treated by the most skillful physicians for several years | Mr. Radam found himself seven years ago virtualiy at the point of death. It was at this juncture that he thought of applying the knowledge he had gained in the treat- ment of disease in plants to the treatment He bad dis- covered that all the diseases of plants are caused by a sort of fermentation, and that wherever this fermentation appeared there William Radam. were also germs or microbes. Following his researches he discovered that these microbes were not only at the point of ap- parent disease, but had permeated the very heart of the plant and were in every arop of the sap. He had discovered a com- bination of antiseptic drugs that would kill these microbes and so bring the plants back to healthful growth. This point was reached after many experiments, during one of which Mr. Radam experienced a certain feeling of exnbilaration. Later he found that, after applying his remedy to his plants, he himself was in better health. As the plants gained in strength sodid he, and it was but natural that this coinci- dence should cause him to turn his atten- tion from the health of the plants to his own health. He found that the theory he knew to be correct in the case of the plants seemed to be equally reasonable when ap- plied to himself. The result was more and more careful experiments, which finally led to the discovery or invention of his now celebrated ‘‘Microbe Killer.” All progressive physicians admit the correct- ness of the germ theory of disease. They kuow that all diseases are caused by germs or microbes, which lodge in some organ, get into the blood and multiply as if by magic. A weak spot in the body offers a place for the lodgment of a germ, and it is the propagation of germs and the con- sequent fermentation in this spot that makes the many so-called diseases. Ifth: microbes settle in a weak spot in the lung: the disease is called consumption. If they settle in the digestive organs and cause fermentation there the disease is called dyspepsia. Differing locations and different stages of development cause varying symptoms, which are called by many different names. Back of all thess names and symptoms is the one reason—the real cause of all disease—microbes. These may be entirely exterminated by the use of William Ra- dam'’s “Microbe Killer."” Assoon as they are completely eradicated from the blood and from the spot where the fermentation is the disease will disappear. There is no possibility of it lasting after the microbes are gone, because they, and they sione, ereate it. Radam'’s Microbe Killer should be taken three or four times a day in wine-glass doses. 1Itis nota strong medicine, and is” made by impregnating pure water with various gases. It is pleasant to the taste. Periectly harmless and a positive and cer- tain cuare forall blood and chronic diseases, A fifty-page book, giving full particu- lars regarding this wonderful medicine, also testimonials of cures, mailed free. which he had presided, and he called for three cheers for Nealon, which were given with a whoop. The convention was de- clared adjourned sine die. S The highest inbabited building in Eu- rope is the Alpine clubhouse, on Mount Rosa, 12,000 feet above the sea level.
