Khediye and Sentry.

The khedive, oddly enough for an ori-
entail, did not smoke, but always carried
a cigarette case, and delighted in offer
ing it and little presents. of money to the
English sentries placed on guard round
his palace when first Cairo was occu-
pied by the British.
The khedive was an early riser, and
was in the habit of walking in his gar
den early in the morning. One day,
returning from such a walk, he was
stopped by sentry.
"Yer can't go in here, yer know ."said
the man of war, with the Briton's amia-
BILE contempt for fat little foreigner.
"But l belong to the palace" faltered
the khedive, delighted.
"Oh, do yer? Got good placer
'Very good" was the modest response.
"Ah, yer look like it. Nothin to do
and plenty to eat wouldn't mind sery-
ing your master. What sort of feller
is he?"
And then, alas, the sergeant coming
along recognized and saluted the khe-
dive, to the vast discomfort of the sentry
as well as to the chagrin of his highness.

The best thing to do
is this: when you're suffering from
Sick or Bilious Headaches, Consti-
patton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
or any arrangement of the Liver,
Stomach, OF Bowels, get something
that relieves promptly and cures
permanently. Don't shock the sys-
tenn with the ordinary pills get

They're the smallest, for one thing
(but that's great thing), and the
easiest to take.
They're the best, for they work
in Natures own way mildly and
gently, but thoroughly and effec-
lively.
They're the cheapest, for they're
guaranteed to give satisfaction, or
your money is returned. You pay
only for the good you get.

Anti Knox Wing of the Peoples Party
Throws of the Klind.

The anti-Knox wing OF the Peoples party as
was generally anticipated, pledged itself body
and bones to the Democrats at the meeting in
Knights of Labor hall last night. After listen
ing TO E. F. Blaine, J. 7. Ronald AID VIII H.
Thompson repeat their usual speeches abusing
the present administration, r. F. Rowell sealed
the contract by introducing the following reso-
lutions, which were adopted with a whoop:
WHEREAS, We hold tbs Republican party re-
sponsible for the deplorable financial condition
Into which our city has been plunged by gross
abuse OF power obtained by corrupt methods;
and
WHEREAS. The Peoples party. by precipitate
nomlnations-preciudlug the expression OF the
wishes OF those who favored the movement
has destroyed all hopes of its success in this
municipal election; therefore
ReS0lred, That we Will support the Democratic
ticket in the coming election, provided always.
that the ticket snail be composed of men Of
known ability and integrity, and who I'M
trammeled by corporate influence.
ResOiUcd, That we have implicit confidence in
J. I. Ronald, and should he receive the nomina-
ton for mayor we will give him our hearty sup
port.
Resolved, That we recognize in Adolphus
krug, the baker, honest man. an efficient
worker and successful business man, well
qualified to handle the city funds; therefore, we
would be pleased to give him our support for
city treasurer And be il further
ReSOlred. That while we do not wish to dictate
&c the Democratic party in regard to nomina-
tions, yet we wish TO express our hearty appre-
citation of the services rendered TO the people by
Lyman WOOD, not only rs n defender OF Ills
country in its time of peril, but also a faith
full and efficient servant in time OF peace; we
therefore heartily indorse and earnestly recon-
mend the nomination OF Lyman Wood for the
Office of city clerk.
Mr.. Ronald responded TO the resolutions with
the statement that he was not seeking the nomi-
nation and hoped he would not get it, for he had
business that paid and it would be sacrifice,
but II his party rendered him the nomination,
he going to be mayor.
Mr.. Thompson said that If the Democrats were
elected the taxes would have to be increased to
pay the citys indebtedness.

BY FORCE OF HABIT.
John Collins Finds Himself in
the Mayoralty Race.
NOT MUCH LOVE FOR RONALD.
Anti-Knox Wing of the Peoples Party
Goes Over to Democracy-Coi-
oneI Lewis Home.

II has generally been supposed thatthe Demo
Gratis of the city are practically united for j. l.
Ronald for mayor. but such is not the case.
Early in the campaign half q dozen Candidates
were talked of, put the leaders decided that u
H. Gilman should have the nomination II ne
chose TO accept it, and il he declined j. l.
Ronald. though a bad second, would perhaps
be a. available as any one else. The hope that
Mr. Gilman would make the run kept other can
diaates out Of the field, but at the same time
Mr. Ronald's weakness was quite apparent 10
all who studied the situation, for his allegiance
TO the party had more than once been ques-
toned
However, when Mr. Gilman refused 70 stand
everybody said that Mr.. Ronald was the next IN
line and Mr. Ronald himself announced that he
was sin II and began to angle for the votes OF
the Peoples party and the other political cranks
with whom be has been from time TO time
identified A few days ago ruInors to the eEecs
that Ronald would not have everything MS OWN
way began to circulate, and yesterday John Col
Inns squarely declared that were he nominated
he would run for mayor. In short, John Col
Inns is now fairly in the fight, and he will make
q strong effort to secure the delegates and
the nomination. This action on the
part of Mr.. Collins, though it Will surprise out
siders. is clearly understood by those who have
watched the course OF events here for several
years. In the first place, Collins is a chronic
candidate lot mayor, anu MS iflenus leel tnat
no city election is complete unless he is run
ming for the Office. He has sustained defeat
twice within two years, but he cannot break
himself OF the habit of trying for the Office.
Another point to be mentioned is that Collins
and Ronald have been antagonistic for a long
time. Collins makes no concealment of his
coutemp. for Ronald's political idiosyncra-
cies and executive ability-a contempt
strengthened by Ronald's bitter opposition TO
the nomination OF Collins at the last Democratic
city convention. Collins friends have all along
stoutly affirmed that Ronald is a weak candidate,
and would make an incompetent mayor; and
since no one else comes to the front to contest
Ronald's leadership, Collins himself has sprung
to the breach. Even If Ronald carries the day
fight will have been started that may seriously
weaken the ticket, and ii Collins losses Ronald
overheard again, as he did in the fall Of 1890,
there can be no hope of harmony.
