CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARB FORMED.

The MeV York Tribune gays: =" The habit of
taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming extent among great humber of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The, habit of taking them IS
easily formed. but almost impossible to shake
off. Women usually begin taking them to re-
heve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phine or opium fend. get into the habit of taking
them regularly. imagining that they are in pain
if they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, tile trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DIR.

Washburn supporters, who has all
along doubted the sincerity Of Gov.
Nelson's position, came in on a late
train and was one of the few men who
was willing to talk freely. He was not
at all surprised at the announcement Of
Nelson's candidacy. and bad no hesi-
fancy in saying that Gov Nelson had
laid himself open to the charge of
trpachery, as we'll as ingratitude.
"While | would not 90 to the length of
saying that Nelson could not have been
elected without the support of Senator
Washburn's friends, any fair-minded
man will admit that the result was
largely due to their exertions. The
governor certainly stated that lie would
place no obstacle in the way Of Senator
Washburn's election, and il his prom
lses were worded in sech way

judgment. Gov. Nelson enters the fight
without apologies or explanations to any
one, further than TO say that he does not
consider himself under pledge to Sem
ator Washburn, and that he has per-
feet legal and moral right to be candi-
date. He expects to be elected, and will
make as active and aggressive can.

AGAINST HIS REELECTION.
The First Gun Is Fired by
the American Railway
Union.
IT PASSES RESOLUTIONS
Calling on Labor Unions to
Work for WaShburn'S
Defeat.

Organized labor is strongly opposed
to the return of Senator W. ID. Wash
burn TO the United States senate, and
will use every honorable means to en-
compass his defeat. The first gun was
fired at the secret meeting Of the local
branch of the American Railway union
last night. when vigorous resolutions
were adopted calling upon all organized
labor to use it's influence with senators
and representatives to induce them to
Yote against Senator Washburn.
Previous to the adoption Of the reso.
lutions speeches were made by tho local
leaders of the A. r. o., in which they
advanced their reasons for opposing
Washburn's election. They denounced
him rs the man who pro-
mulgated the obnoxious iron-clad
contract system In vogue on
the 800" road, which they claim has
practically compelled the employees of
the road to become slaves to the cor
poraton at the expense of their citizen
ship aud manhood. There were many
speakers. and all spoke in the same
vein. While it could not be said that
the addresses were bitter, still 1t was
apparent that there Is much feeling
against Washburn as the managing di-
rector Of the 500 line.
There were members of other labor
unions present, and these spoke, prom
ising to bring up the subject at once
before their unions and endeavor to Sc
cure similar action all along the line.
They further promised TO give the mat
ter their time and attention, so that it
cannot be said the resolutions were
passed merely for effect. They will
follow the resolution with practical ell
deavor. The preamble and resolutions
are as follows:
Whereas, Hon.W D. Washburn is the
managing director of the 500 railway.
and as such managing director is re-
sponSble for the PRONUNCIATION of the
so-called iron-clad contract system in
use on that road. whereby its employees
are practlcaliy compelled TO surrender
their citizenship and manhood in order
to obtain employment, iu direct viola,
tton of our law, and
Whereas, The said W. d. Washburn
has been member Of the United States
senate for the past six years, ard as
such senator he has ever exerted his
energies in favor of corporate power
against the common people, and
Whereas, fhe said Washburn is a
candidate for reelection. therefore,
Be it resolved. That 1t is the duty OF
all organized labor and OF that great
mass of humanity known as producers
and ge-earners, to use every effort to;
induce their senators ard representa-
tives IN ths present legislature to vote

secured figures upon the result of the
senatorial contest, and it gives each set
for what they are worth. The Wash
burn men expect to hav. their forces in
line for the caucus and to poll at least
rs votes, II being necessary to nomi-
nate. The figures they give. however,
are: Washburn, 50; Nelson, 35; COM
stock, ~; McCleary. 6; scattering, Z;
total, l40.
The Nelson neil are not figuring on
the caucus at all, but on the election.
AS near as can be ascertained. their
estimate is as follows: Washburn, As;
Nelson. So; Comstock, 20; McCleary. 15;
Lind, 10; scattering Gncluding Popu-
lists and Democrats), 40. 1t is difficult
to get any figures from McCleary or
CoDstock point of view, from the fact
that they are themselves very much
in the dark just at present.
A Washburn man who is keep
ing close tab OH the situation
said yesterday that Nelson was basing
his hopes OH the expectation of secur-
ing fotty-five votes through the intiu-
ence of his Scandinavian friends, in
Guiding the Populist members, twelve
votes through The appointments to be
made at the beginning of his term as
governor, and six members Of the Hen
nepin delegation who want to see Dave
Clough governor more than they want
to see Washburn senator. This would
give Nelson SiXty-three votes, leaving
him to make gain of only twenty-five
to win the election. The gentleman in
question, however, declared that the
deaf for the Scandinavian and the Hen
nepin county vote would largely fall
through, leaving only the patronage
votes as a sure thing.

Views of Politicians and Scenes
in Hotels.
Hon. S. G. Comstock seemed to be in
even better humor yesterday than he
has been heretofore. Asked as to how
he regarded the entrance of Gov. Nelson
into the senatorial contest, he said:
1.-The Minneapolis papers can no longer
charge me with being a puppet. / am
In the contest to stay, and. while the
governors action complicateS matters
somewhat, yet l don't see that
it interferes with my candidacy.
The Minneapolis people forced
the issue upon Gov. Nelson. l think it
was mistake from their standpoint.
The ssnatorship is at the disposal of the
Legislature, and believe that at the
proper time it will be handed over to
the man the members think the most
worthy. 1t seems to me, as | said at
the outstart, that it is free for-all race,
and every man in the state has the right
to aspire to the honorable position.
hope the contest will be friendly, as,
| believe, it is at present. l have no ILL
feeling to my worthy opponents, and
will conduct al honorable canvass on
my part until the legislature shall see
fit to name she HAP tt succeed MIR
Washburn."
Gov. Nelson intended =, go to the
Windsor Immediately after supper last
evening, but was detained at the Mer~
chants until after 9 o'clock by friends,
who wished to talk with him. When he
reached the Windsor he took hold of the
E,.1 l. NJ tba
msn-elect, and bowling to the crowds as
billiard hall, where he held an earnest
conversation. He then walked through
the crowded lobby and up stairs, where
the interview was doubtless continued.
Mr.. Eddy is Comstoek man, and the
governor was, doubtless, trying to con-
vince him that he should turn his feet
in the right direction.
Gov. Nelson was very busy when
asked for an expression on the contest.
He declares that he never at any time
promised to support Mr.. Washburp.
He intends this as denial of the State
ment that he had done SO by letter or
otherwise.
Senator W. E. Johnson, of Minneapo-
lis, is working hard at his draft of sng-
gestions for a municipal charter bill.
He is also doing effective work in
formulating plans for primary cleo
tion bill. He will prove 10 be one of

THUS IS DIFFERENT.

The Journal Has Changed Its Es-
innate of Nelson Since Nov. 6.
The Minneapolis journal, which was
thoroughly convinced during the late
state campaign that the country was
bound for the demnition bow-wows un-
less Knute Nelson were elected gov
eTnor, now has this to say concerning
the governor and his candidacy:
Gov Nelson announced today that he is a
candidate for the United States senate.
And so we who have taken him at his
word that he would not be a candidate
that, If elected, he proposed to serve out his
term-have all teen mistaken.
His word was good for nothing.
His pledges to Senator Washburn, when
the senator went to him frankly nearly q
year ago and asked to have a clear, open and
above-board understanding with regard to
the senatorship, were not worth the breath
the governor wasted i'll making them.
some men have too much regard for their
personal honor, too much respect for their
repeated promises and pledges, to disregard
them for the sake of personal advantage or
at the solicitation of ambitious political
friends.
If GOV. Nelson ever was such a man, he
certainly has taken very remarkable way
to show it.
He had perfect right to be a candidate
IOr tne Seudle dI OLe tillle. DuG LDdt llIne is
past. He was asked to say long months ago
whether he would enter the race, and the
only avowed candidate III the field. recogniz-
ing his perfect right to be candidate if he
wished, simply asked him for definite un-
derstanding between them that there might
be fair play and a square, open and honora-
BILE contest betwe Ell them. in case Mir. Mel
son proposed to be a competitor. o
To this request MIR. Nelson declared, on
more than one occasion, that he would not
be candidate, and that no opposition was
to be expected from him. Some of Mr.
Washburn's friends were not quite satisfied,
but the majority of them, the journal 0mO pg
them, and the senator himself, especially,
took Mr.. Nelson at his word, and expressed
their entire confidence In Mr. Nelson 6
assurances Of friendship AID Eo1-intsr;er.
encs.
How miserphly their confidence was
abused is plain tcday.
Mr. Nelson either never meant word thai
he said when he declared that he Tou!d
not be q candidate, or else he is too weak
and yaciilat!Gg Il creature to command the
respect of honorable and fair minded
men.
IL either case he is not deserving of the
support Of nen who have respect for fair
Eess and honor in politics. And the Journal
fully believes that The members OF the lagis-
laturc viii take that view of the situation
as it has developed il st. Paul today.
Kuute Nielsen will b1 defeated, and be de-
serves to be. The Republican party cannot
afford TO reward such weakness or dupiicity,
whichever u IS. by elevating it to the honor
able position OF senator. 1t will mean utter

belief that he would receive the sup
port Of Nelson's friends. They give
him crhdit for making fair contest,
and seem, at present at least, to regard
him as victim rather than an enemy.
The support of Comstock would natu-
rally naturally come very largely from
Nelson's part Of the state, and with
Nelson as a candidate this support Will,
of course, be very materially reduced.
In view of this fact the Washburn men
no longer have, If they ever had, any
apprehension of danger from COmstock.
On the other hand, the candidacy of
Congressman McCleary is giving them
some uneasiness, not that they consider
him dangerous in himself, but i'll the
belief that he will furnish preuext for
holding out few votes which would
otherwise 20 to WaShburn. McCleary
has been so

it is believed by the masters of political
fence, will only serve, as above stated,
to hold perhaps a dozen votes away
from Washburn ami clinch the dead
lock.
Both Tawney and Heatwole are Itch
ing to get into the fight, and it is not at
all improbable that their announce

Their strength would correspond very
closely to that of McCleary. but it
would complicate matters little fur

LIGHT ON THE CAUCUS.
A Question Whether One Will He
Held or Not

There Is great diversity of opinion
concerning the question of . caucus.
The Washburn contingent favors the
holding Of caucus, and confidently OK
poets to secure nomination there. Mel.
sons III anagers are -committal at
present. but there is little doubt that
they will oppose the caucus and make
their fight in the joint session. This
would give the governor the opportun-
ity of which he is expected to avail him
self to collar several Scandinavian Pop
ulist votes. McCleary will probably
prefer to take his chances in the caucus,
while Comstock will want his'n straight
on the floor of the house in joint session.
There would seem, however. to be but
slight prospect of a caucus nomination.
though the Washburn men profess to
believe that their man will secure it.

last night: "This announcement of
