DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.

cy means a government of the people
by the people and for the people; and
a democrat is a man who acknOwl-
edges these facts as the basis of his
political belief and action.
SECONDLY-We, as democrats, be-
lieve that the word democratic means
equality and honesty. and that our
party, acting in harmony and in CON
cert, can accomplish for the people
every good possibly attainable.
THIRDLY-We sincerely believe that
Gen. John NJ. Palmer should be our
standard bearer at the coming fall
elections, and we pledge 200 demo-
cratic votes for representatives in the
incoming state legislature that will
pledge themselves to vote for the
General for United States Senator
from the coming great Democratic
state of Illinois.

worker, and reliable coun-
sellor, and the community at large a
true and good citizen. it further

vention: and be it also
Resolued, That copy hereof be fur
nished to the family of the deceased,

There never was a grocery house In

greater revolution In so short a time as
the one presided over by II. j. Gillen.
This Is a ne,o departure in every partic-
ular. Gillen buys more groceries than
any man in the trade-this Is well
known; and he buys them at big
discount, and he is going to try a new
plan. He will sell you groceries at a
lower figure than you ever bought
them. OF course, he has got to sell
them at greatly reduced rates, and is
depending on an increased trade to
justify himself, and he is gettingit it. In
stead of shipping butter and eggs, as
Others do, he will supply the home
market at exactly what these goods
cost. 1t is one of dozen of the new
departures in this store, and the COM
munity will thank him for it.

ABOUT SWEET DOORS.

A Perfumer Sags They Are Only Three
Ian Number.
s'Sweet odors,'' said a Chestnut street
perfumer recently, ''are of three kinds
the floral, the aromal and the balsam-
ic. The first group includes all these
derived from sweet-smelling flowers;
the second those derived from resins,
musks and similar substances. The
otto, or essence of perfume, is obtained
by distillation, maceration or enfour-
age.
Art" the perfumer continued, 'im-
proves on nature and gives bouquets OF
most delicate odor, such as Jockey Club.
West End, Mousselaine, Millefeur and
host of Others which have no counter
part in garden or grove. The delicate
heliotrope, for instance, is scarce and
Improbable to the perfumer. He de-
tects in it's odor, however, the aroma of
vanilla combined with the sharper
scent of bitter almonds. Therefore he
adds to "a tincture of vanilla a small
quantity of the otto of bitter almon Is

and thus easily makes extract of hell

1.-The magnolia is TOO large to macer-
ate," he continued. 'but it's odor is de-
sirable. 1t is furnished by mixture of
orange flower, rose, tuberose and violet
essences, which makes fine extract OF
magnolia. Indian lemon-green like

Remarkable Nerve.

The early history of America is full of
instances of men having great nerve. But
we are rapidly becoming the most nervous
people on earth. The recent increase of
insanity, epileptic fits, headache, back
ache, neuralgia, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, dyspepsia, huttering of the heart
ETC., points to an early decay of the race
unless this tendency is checked. Nothing
will cure these diseases like DR.. Miles

opium nor morphene. Sample bottles

'If the girls who affect the habit only
