SONG OF COLUMBUS DAY.

Columbia, my land all hail the glad day, When first to thy stand Hope pointed
 the way; Hail him who through darkness first fol-
 lowed the flame That led where the Mayflower of Liberty Dear country, the star of the valiant and
 free, Thy exiles afar are dreaming of thee, No fields of the earth so enchantingly
 shine, No air breathes such incense, such music as thine. Humanity's home! Thy sheltering breast Gives welcome and room to strangers op-
 pressed Pale children of hunger, and hatred, and
 wrong, % G Find life in thy freedom. and joy in thy song. g sz Thy fairest estate the lowly may hold, s Thy poor may grow great, thy feeble grow
 bold, For worth is the watchword to noble de-
 gree, And manhood is mighty where manhood
 is free. o union of states, and union of souls, Thy promise awaits, thy future unfolds, And earth from her twilight is hailing
 the sun That rises where people and rulers are
 one.

Springfield Union: It is quite probable that the railroad rates for excursionists to the worlds fair will be very low, some railroad men putting the fare as low as $S or $10 for the round trip from New York. Colonel Shepard keeps talking about fare of $1, but makes little inn pression. It has been shown, however, that round rate of $5 would pay the railroads handsomely. The bother to the railroad managers is that people are go- ing to demand cheaper fares after the worlds fair is over, and there is no reason why they shouldn't have them.

storm arose, rendering necessary the
lowering Of the canvass round the air
and light spaces under the roof. The
almost Cmmerian darkness thus pro
duced made the Chicago convention at
midday as gloomy for the time being al
the Minneapolis gathering was at mid
night when the electric lights were shut
off.
Notwithstanding the canvas protection
the rain beat in and umbrellas were
freely raised in the galleries, which were
not half full sas~. 4sta as .e
Occasional bright flashes of lightning
lit up the hall. 1t was welcome relief
and was hailed with cheers when the
band in the gallery back of the chair
man at 1926 struck up lively air. The
storm was not Of long duration. In ten
minutes the hall began to brighten, and
FIVE minutes later the sun was outagain.
At 1880 most Of the delegates were in
their seats, but the galleries were
sparseiy filed. Chairman Brice, Of the
national committee, was on the plat
form. His entrance has passed un-
noticed, but though everything seemed
in readiness there was some further de-
lay and even the intermittant applause
from the galleries did not hurry the pro-
ceedings. 0 I'll.
Five minutes LATER Ex-Governor Camp
bells entrance was greeted with cheers
and applause, the Ohio delegates rising
in his honor. AS most of the delegates
were in their seats many of the silken
banners with the names of the states
were folded up and put away.

A SUICIDE CLUB.


The principal suicide club in this
icut, but California has It's suicides,
A talk with a well informed gen
tleman, thephysician-in-chief of the Cos
mopolitan Dispensary, corner of Stock
ton, Ellis and Market streets, San Fran
cisco, shows that suicides are frequently
caused by catarrh.
I'VE have q specialist who devotes his
time to catarrh exclusively, he said,
LIS it such a serious disease?"
Bronchial catarrh is much more SER
ious than many imagine. When catarrh
has existed in the head and upper part
OF the throat for any length Of time it
extends slowly down the windpipe and
thus into the bronchial tubes. The swell
ing and accumulated mucus in the bron-
chlal tubes produce bad cough. The
latter is not so bad in warm weather.
AT first there is raised little blush,
tough, tenacious mucus, which grad
ually increases in quantity and as
sumes a yellowish color, with such
violent cough as to frequently
cause vomiting. The mucus raised
conteins small particles of yellowish
matter, sometimes of cheesy consist
ency, which, when pressed between the
fingers, emit bad odor. When this
disease is not controlled or cured by
scientific treatment the lung substance
itself undergoes changes, and we have
developed that worst of all diseases-con-
sumption.
The Chicago Herald is authority for the
statement that the Cosmopolitan Dispen
sary is only exceeded by the huge dis
pensaries of Berlin and London, and as
to the beneficial results of their method
Of treatment the patients themselves are
the best authorities.
The first one seen was Mr.. A. M. Mar
tin, who is coppersmith in the employ
OF Spreckels Brothers, with whom he
has been for fifteen years.
