A Discouraged Invalid Restored to
Health and Happiness.

Catarrh Of the stomach causes a
condition known as dyspepsia or indi-
gestion. 1t usually results from
catarrh in the throat, but sometime,
occurs in people who have never had
catarrh elsewhere. The symptoms Of
dyspepsia are; Liver complaint
biliousness, sour stomach, water
brash, bloating after eating consiipa-
ton, piles, and, in many cases low
spirits, dizzy head, sympathetic heart
palpitation, pain, indigestion and
looseness Of the bowels. Pe-ru-na
and Man-a-lin, taken according to d.
rections on the bottle, will cure every
one, The following Is = specimen Of
the letters received from patients;
0. S. McQuillan, Spring Hill, Iowa,
writes: -Four years ago last fall my
stomach, without any previous warm
ing, refused 10 perform It's functions,
and soon lost strength. During
this time food was forced through my
stomach by using cathartics. With
flesh wasted away, strength exhausted
so that it took all my energy to even
get into a bath tub, hopes all gone, !
began TO take Pe-ru-na and Man a-li,
following free advice which DR.. Hart
man gave. IN a short time ! could
eat nourishing food, and the piles,

splendid appetite returned, and |

ARLENE THE WINNER.
Manhattan's Football Team Defeated
BY "a to 0.

On Saturday afternoon Abilene de-
ieated the Manhattan Agricultural
college at football by score OF "a to
0. Good team work and splendid in
reference on the part Of Abilene won.
Manhattan needed coaching and was
outclassed in training. Still, it made
good plays, and Captain Conrad and
Quarterback Hoffman deserve credit.
Captain Matteson Of Abilene, for two
years the pride Of the State Uniyer-
sity, was the most potent factor in
the game. Abilene made five touch
downs and failed to kick goal twice.
There were three touchdowns by Mat
teson, one by pattison and one by
Hurd, The game was not SO one
sided as the score appears and was
hard fought throughout. A large
crowd was present and much interest
was taken in the game. The new
grounds are favorably located and
some more good games ale promised.
Manhattan's players made many
friends and were well entertained
while in town. the teams lined up

The Best Speech Of the Campaign
Was That in the Opera House
Saturday Night and Burton Made
It-C.F. Mead's Interesting Talk.
From Mondays Dally.l

Governors and would-be-governors,
congressman and would-be-congress-
men, orators and statesmen Of high
degree have addressed Abilene audi
ences during the campaign but the
best speech OF all was that made in
the opera house Saturday evening by
an Abilene man, Joseph Ralph Burton.
He received an ovation to be proud
Of too. An audience practically as
large as that ut the joint debate
greeted him and nearly POO people
stood through the entire evening.
The stage was tastefully decorated
with flags anls busts of Webster,
Grant and Clay.
DR.. J. M. Hodge presided and the
stage was occupied by a score Of
gentlemen representing all the parties,
so unanimous was tho greeting from
Mr.. Burton's home town.
c. +. Mead made an opening talk of
half an hour, devoting his attention
to the influence of tariff changes and
making a strong plea with forcible il
Illustrations for permanency in tariff
legislation and showing how business
demands that bad as it is the Wilson
bill should be let alone during the
remainder Of Democracy's administra-
ton. The election of Republican
house will insure this. He was
heartily applauded and made a num-
Der of happy hits.
Mr.. Burton was received with pro-
longed applause and indeed the APP
proval OF the audience was so eagerly
expressed at many times during the
speech that it was with difficulty that
he could restore quiet. He opened
with apprcciative remarks regarding
the size and character Of the audience.
Then he gave number of personal
interviews with manufacturers re-
regarding the effect Of the Wilson
bill and discussed the influence of
populism on the fame of Kansas. Re-
ferrlng to the claim of the Pops in
1890 that the south and west would
join hands he challenged anyone in
the audience to name a single Pop in
congress from the south. None was
named. "Now they claim that Pop
ulism will carry Texas on Tuesday"
he continued. 81 talked with lead
ing Democrats and Republicans at
Dallas and 1T. Worth in the past
month and they scarcely knew there
was Pop ticket in the field. ! tell
you that hell will go Methodist be-
fore Texas goes Pop" The financial
theories and teachings of the Pops
were taken up at length and the
miserable failures as business mon
made by all the great leaders of the
party were recited. Not one at middle
life has ever been more than q $40
month man. Tho functions OF gov
eminent, the absurdity of fiat money,
the birth Of the Peoples Party out
of the boom reaction and similar
topics were Interestingly handled and
with few words concerning the Re-
publican nominees be closed. II was
pronounced by all the most eloquent,
convincing and able speech al the
campaign in this county

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There isonly one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed

Three generations are represented, headed

in which the blood and artistic tempera-

stage are blended. Sidney Rankin Drew

He inherits his mothers talents, and

Brady's After Dark Show an All
Around Farce.

1t was quite evident to those who went
TO the theater last night that Billy
Brady is running his shows on his own
and Corbett's regulations. He certainly
is not running After Dark on its merits
these days. 1t would be hard to gather
from junk shop a more dilapidated lot
OF scenery than was employed last night
The only things that had the merit OF
freshness we're the water in the tank and
the actors; and the water was the most
inspiring thing on the stage.
The crowd in attendance was mostly in
the top of the house, though the first floor
was perhaps, two-thirds full 1t is safe
to say that seven-tenths of those present
went out to see the champion prize
fighter, who it was advertised, would
positively appear in the fourth act.
Many persons sat out from two TO four
acts, laughing in derision where they were
expected TO weep IN sympathy, and then
walked away in very cold atmosphere
Manager Brady made a statement ex-
plaiaing that Prof. Donaldson's sparring
partner and Corbett's clothes were left in
Washington, and hence the champion
couldn't appear. The explanation was
anything but satisfying to the audience.
Manager Johnson instructed the ticket
sellers at the box Office to notify all par
ties that Corbett would not appear. He
was notified by Manager Brady in the
afternoon that COrbett would positively
appear, and in consequence he had
dodgers printed announcing the fact.

Four Cases Discovered in a Crowded
Tenement House.


Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 27.-Four well de-
valoned cases of smallpox were discov-
rod At "a Ella street, in the southwest
orr, mart of the city to-day. The board of
health has taken charge of the infected
house. and the yellow flag is out to warn
the public of the plague. The disease
has been in existence in the house, which
is a tenement, in what is known as
the old barracks settlement, being in
fact the old United States army post con-
Jarrad into a tenement district, for the
noorer classes for nine days past, and was
5ieoovered to-day only through informa-
+ion from a distant city. A week ago w.
A Vaughan, a carpenter who boarded at
- Fila street, went to Senoia. He was
len sick soon after his arrival
there and Dr. Taylor, the at
tending physician, pronounced his
maIadV smallpox. Upon this Vaughan
-e,.alled that Myrtle White, the little
dangbter of a widow dresSmaker living
in the house, was sick before the left,
1rith what was then thought 10 be chicken
NOV DR.. Taylor telegraphed Vaughan's
brother here that his patient had small
nov. The police here were also notified
That Vaughan said of the sickness of
7 ittle MYRTLE White. An investigate
bv physicians soon disclosed three
o;bar cases in the house besides
NTrrtle White. Two of these are
her sisters, and the fourth, the daughter
of a carpenter named Bush. The board
Of health at once took charge, and every
measure is being taken to prevent a
anread of the disease. Myrtle White,
Who developed the first case, was first
taken sick nine days ago. Nobody knew
the nature of her malady until to-day.
The quarter, where the plague has
broken out, is thickly settled by laborers
and mechanics. Spellman Seminary, for
negro girls, is within a stones throw of
the house
