with his regiment in all the battles in which
it engaged up to Nashville, Tenn. In that
battle he was severely wounded.
As soon as able he rejOined his
regiment while still using crutchcs, served

plinful He was appointed to cadetship at
West Point, but oil account of his wounds

Mr.. CABLES CANDIDACY.
He Declines to Stand for Re-elec.
tiOn But His Friends Insist.
All Over the District TO Renom-
mate Him Anyway.

Today's Chicsgo Herald contains the
following Washington dispatch:
Congressman Ben Gable, of Illinois, de-
clines TO be candidate for re- election
Though his constituents have again and
again urged him to stand. and though
there is little doubt that he could win the
contest even in that republican district.
Mr.. Cable has decided that he will not
again make the race. He has so in
formed his party friends at Rock Island
There is some talk here that if the west
ern headquarters of the democratic ma
tional committee should be established
at Chicsgo, as proposed, Mr.. Gable
would be invited to take charge of them
While Mr.. Gable has nothing to say on
this score, western democrats in WASH
ington are hoping the national commit
tee will establish such an office, and that
Gable will be placed in charge of it,
There is no man in the national commits
tee who possesses to a greater degree she
confidence of democrats every vi here. If
any man could organize the democracy of
Illinois so as to carry the electoral vote
of the state for Cleveland and Stevenson.
Gable is the man. As an organizer and
worker he has but few equals in the
country. Much regret is expressed here
az WI SdOic 10 IedN6
congress. Though one of toe quiet mem
bers. never anxious to shine in the arena
of debate, he has proved himself strong
in committee and influence upon legisla-
ton. He has won a high place in the
house, and in the foreign affairs commit
tee is looked upon as one OF the ablest
members-of that Important committee.
In one year Gable has made himself about
the most popular man in the house.
Notwithstanding the positive assertion
thus attributed to Mr.. Cable. his friends
are reluctant to accept his declaration
as final. In fact in every county in the
district democrats are not only with one
accord for his denomination. but are de-
termined that he shall be rendered the
nomination anyway. so strong is the en-
dorsement his course as congressman has
merited. 1t is truly to be hoped the
pressure of the demand for his renomi-
nation may incline him to reconsider an v
position that he may have assumed con-
trary to accepting denomination. which
will come TO him unanimously if left to
his friends throughout the district.

1T CONTAINS NO POISON.

This is the distinguishing
mark of Reid's German Cough
and Kidney Cure. This is a
greater thing to boast of than
would at first appear to the
reader unacquainted with what
are called standard remedies.
Most Of these contain opium in
some form or other and cOnse-
quently must be used with the
greatest caution. In case, for
instance, of a severe attack of
Group the mother is tortured by
anxiety lest having rescued the
child from the disease it may
fall a victim to the remedy.
Nothing of this kind is to be
feared with Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure. There
is no danger from an over dose.
Where the malady is acute and
the danger imminent. it can be
given in as large doses as may
be necessary to give relief. A
whole bottle full can be taken
if the case requires il, not only
without danger, but with a pos
tive benefit. This fact that it
contains no poison tells strong
ly in favor of this popular med
icine.

Brutal Assault.

Enos Allies, who has been employed
with others in laying the track up to the
tower was badly injured in an encounter
with another workman late Saturday
afternoon. Allies is not as bright as LIE
might be. and on that account has been
subject to considerable guying by the
other men. On Saturday he lost his
temper, which he seldom does, and
started up the bank toward Tim O'Cou-
nor, Of Milan, who had been teasing him
more than US usl The latter saw his APP,
proach and before Allies could get up the
bank O'Connor jabbed his shovel into
Allies face, cutting an ugly cash in his
nose, and then struck him blow across
the head with the same weapon that
split his ear and inflicted q scalp wound
on his head. The excitement of the en-
counter threw the unfortunate Allies into
a fit to which he is subject, and he was
later brought to the city. where he was
attended by DR.. Kjnyon who dressed his
wounds, and he is considerably improved
today. O'Connor will probably be made
to explain the cause OF the brutal assault
