WEAKNESS.
Why will anyone remain weak when
they can be made strong?

Everyone should know that the entire
human structure is constantly being torn
down and rebuilt, the same as in the
vegetable world the trees shed their leaves
and again put forth new shoots. Now,
when the blood becomes too weak to carry
to the kidneys and liver this dead tissue
that should be removed. the whole system
becomes enervated and a distressed feeling
of weakness and unnatural fatigue follows.
One feels half dead, SO to speak, and liter

He Says Connecticut, New York
and New Jersey Will Be Demo-
cratic.
EX-Gov. Thomas S. Waller. of Con-
necticut, and minister to the court of
st. James during President Cleveland's
administration, arrived IN Minneapolis
from Chicago yesterday morning. With
the exception of a slight cold, the dis
tinguiShed statesman told GLOBE re-
porter that he was feeling remarkably
well.
You have a wonderful country up
here" said he, land | already feel the
inyigOrating influences of the climate"
When interrogated as TO the political
outlook the governor SAID:
''Neyer was the outlook brighter for
tie Democrats than at present. There
is no question in my mind but that
Grover Cleveland will be triumphantly
most certainly go Democratic. as will
New York state and New Jersey. | feel
reasonably sure that Indiana will join
the Democratic ranks also. l was some
what surprised to find that this idea is
prevalent in Chicago. In fact, it's Cleve-
land all along the line. While | have
not been here long enough to judge for
myself, am told ON all sides that Min
nesOta is going to show herself a
staunch Democratic state this fall.
This talk of Democratic ruptures
within the ranks in New York state is
all idle talk, and the Empire state will
roll up glorious majority for Cleveland
and Stevenson
Gov. Waller leaves for the East to-
night, where he will go Oh the stump

yesterday receiving friends and admir-

trade as an issue between the two great
political parties, he foresaw victory for

been put to test, and is at present in

The progress of the movement was al

BURNED A PLANER.
Fire Consumes Fl. 8. Johnson's BIG
Planning Mill.

At $50 yesterday morning the fire
department was called to the corner of
Nineteenth avenue north and First
street, in the West Side lumber district.
II. S. Jobnson's planning mill was a-fire,
and by the time the first engine arrived
on the scene the big building was a mass
of flames. The inflammable nature of
the building rendered it impossible to
save 1t, and the fire department
had all it could do to prevent the
flames from spreading. Fortunately
the wind was from the direction of the
river. Sparks set fire to pile of shaw
ings. near the Chatterton cedar post mill,
half a mile away. on Eighth avenue
northeast. but was soon extinguished.
Several piles of lumber near the John
son mill were consumed, and altogether
the loss on building and lumber will DE
in the neighborhood of $4,000. Mr..
johnson is out Of the city, so that the
insurance and exact loss could not be
ascertained. 1t is supposed the fire
originated from sparks from passing
locomotive.
While the fire was in progress an
alarm was turned III from the corner of
Ninth avenue south and Eighteenth
street. Two barns belonging to E. w.
Roberts were on fire, and before the
blaze could be eXtinguished horse had
been burned to death.

A RosEArE OUTLOOK.
Politics AS Viewed by Gen.
Ewing, of Chicago.


Gen. W. G. Ewing, of Chicago. who
SO ably filled the position of United
States district attorney of Illinois under
the regime of Cleveland, arrived in the
city yesterday. Gen. Ewing in CONVEX
sation with reporter expressed
the belief that New York would
surely go Democratic this fall.
He based his opinion upon the abso-
lutely united condition of the party
there. The Democrats were never so
harmonious as now, and he was posi-
tive there would be no disaffection on
account of the differences between
Cleveland and Hill. The general was
likewise sure that Indiana would cast
an electoral vote for Cleveland, and
that the position of Judge Gresham
would tend to strengthen the Demo-
cratic party in the stare. The Judge,
he said. was an ardent admirer of CleVe-
land.
Il believe" said Gen. Ewing, shat
the fusion of the Peoples party and the
Democrats in Minnesota is good poll
tics. and if the object of the two is to
throw strength to Weaver and weaken
the Republican vote 1t is perfectly le-
Ultimate"
Gen. Ewing stated he was of the be-
lief that the Democratic ticket of Hi
nolS would be elected, and that Cleve-
lands chances there were of the very
best,
