JEFFERSON CITY, June 1.-The Democratic
convention late last night elected the following
delegates at large: Henry J. Spaunhors, VIM.
Hutchids, Gov. Chas. H. Hardin and ex-Goy.

The platform adopted announces fidelity to
all the provisions of the constitution, the per-
petual union of the states, with local self-gov-
ernment in every section, and calls for civil SER
vice reform, with honesty, fidelity and capacity
as qualification for office, retrenchment and
economy, exposure and speedy punishment of

abuses to civil and criminal laws, and hone st

so states that while favoring the resumption

cratic National Convention relative to currency
and finance. That the present depression of
business is the result of the corrupt adminis-
tration of government and is to be remedied
only by change of administration.

Another Account of the Revolution.

Another Account OF the Revelation.
LONDON, June 1.-The Times correspondent
tslegraphs from Constantnople the following
account of the revolution:
After va!nly soliciting the Sultan to adopt
reforms, the Grand Vizier, and Hassein Ami
Pasha, and Midhat Pasha resolved to depose
him. The Dalma Baghtiche palace was beset
with troops. Murad was proclaimed Sultan in
the presence of all the ministers, the Sheik ul
Islam and Mollah's men. Suiman Pasha, ac-
companied by soldiers and officers, informed
Abdul Aziz that the nation had deposed him,
and that he should deliver up the palace to his
successor The attitude of the troops con-
WINGED Aziz that resistance was impossible,
and he, with his family household and So boats
filled with women, were conveyed under escort
to Iopkapon Palace. France, Italy and Eng
land have recognized Murad as Sultan.
Servia Preparing for War.
The Times Berlin despatch says that IN con-
sequence OF the appointment of the new Sui
tan, Servla has apparently determined to antic-
pate the attack which it considers imminent.
The Servian government, Tuesday, issued
decree closing all the schools and even the
courts, during the impending war.
The Prince of Milan will act as commander
ln'chlef and various divisions of the Servian
army are placed under Russian officers, many
OF whom have arrived at Belgrade.
The people of Germany begin to realize that
collision between Servia and Turkey is i'm
minent, and Russia, finding her policy sudden
ly crossed by the Turkish national party, can
not afford to accept defeat on the Sclavonian
question.
The Ex-Sulian.
A special despatch to the Daily News from
Vienna, says that it is officially annou n ced
that Abdul Aziz is alive, and has bcen placed
under strong guard. 1t is reported that the
treasure in his possession amounting to $780,
coo has been seized
The amount of the ex Sultan's treasure re-
in fhn
been seized, is $1C0, ,00O,0 instead of S1OO 900
as first reported.

The New Orleans Investigation.

NEW ORLEANS, June 1.-The Congressional
Committee commenced the investigation with
open doors to-day. ALI the members were
present except Mr.. Blackburn, who is en- route
to Washington by order of Speaker Kerr.
Internal Revenue Supervisor p FL, Hunt
was the first witness. He was examined in
regard to the crooked whiskey matters and
attempts to bribe public officers. On his way
to New Orleans in rs he stopped at Holly
Springs, where he met Walche, distiller Of
this city. Walche stated to witness that thew
fthe distillers) had paid his predecessor, j. r..
Cobb, $1,000 per month, amounting to S12, 600
or $4,000, and desired to make some arrange
ment with witness.
Hunt came on to New Orleans afterwards
and appointed new gaugers and store keepers
for the Cary distillery and found a gain
OF gallon per bushel increase in the produc-
ton. The distillery only ran five days after
these changes. Consequently the Inference
was they had been making a large percentage
of crooked whiskey. 1t had been CUSTOMARY
to withdraw 40 or 80 barrels per day. but three
days before the local officials seized the Cary
distillery about 400 or 500 barrels were with,
drawn. The inference was that the officials
had notified the distllers of the intention to
seize. The amount of revenue due, for which
the distillery was seized, was $4,000

Liver and Blood Diseases,
BY r. V. PIERCE, M. D., Author of "The Peoples
Common Sense Medical Adviser"

Common Sense Medical Adviser"
A healthy liver secretes each day about two and
half pounds of bile, which contains great amount
OF waste material taken from the blood. When the
liver becomes torpid or congested 1t fails to emn-
ate this vast amount of noxious substance, which,
therefore, remains to poison the blood and be con
veyed to every part OF the system. What must be
the condition of the blood when it is receiving and
retaining each day two and half pounds of poison?
Natures tries to work off this poison through other
channels and organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc.
but these organs become overtaxed in performing
this labor in addition to their natural functions and
cannot long Withstand the pressure, but become va
rlously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical center of
all vitality; IS unduly stimulated by the unhealthy
blood which it from the heart and it fails
to perform its Office healthily. Hence the symptoms
of bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache, in
capacity to keep the mind on any subject, IMPAIR
ment OF memory, dizzy, sleepy nervous feelings,
gloomy forebodings, and irritabiity Of temper. The
blood itself being diseased as it forms the sweat up
on the surface Of the skim it is irritating and poi
sonous that produces discoored brown Spots pim-
pes blotches, and other eruptious, sores boils
buncles, and scrofulous tumors. The stomach, bow
els and other organs cannot escape becoming affect
ed sooner or LATER and we have the result costiv
ness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhooea. Other
mouth internal heat, palpitation teasing cough,
steady Appetite choking sensation in throat bloatng
of stomach, pain in sides about shoulders back
GOODNESS OF extremities ETC., ETC. Only few of the
above symptoms are likely to be present in any
at one time. The liver being the great depuratng,
or boodcleansng organ of the system, set this great
'housekeeper of our health'' at work. and the foul
corruptons which gender in the blood. and rot out
as it were, the machinery of life are gradually
PEELED from the system. For this purpose, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, with very small
doses daily of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pei
let's is prominently the articles needed. They cure
every kind of humor from the worst scrofula to the
common pmple, blotch or eruption. Great eating
ulcers kindly heal under their mighty curative infu-
ence. Viruent blood poisons that lurk in the system
are by them robbed of their terrors and by their per-
severing and somewhat protracted use the most
tainted systems may be completely renovated and
built up anew. Enlarged glands, tumors, and swell
lings dwndle away and disappear under the iufiu-
ence of these great resovents.
