The Union Compliments One Of tn
Republican Nominations.

The Union. a local paper devoted to
the interests of organized labor, says of
the coming municipal campaign:
THE nominating convention to be held
by the Democrats on the 18th will be
Obliged to meet a serious question, In solv-
ing the perplexing problems incident there
to. The Democrats are famous for making
mistakes at the wrong time. They were
never elected to power that defeat did not
follow as a result of overconfidence and,
consequently, Indifference. The Republicans
very wisely gave Lee Nixon a second nomi-
nation by reclamation. Mr.. Nixon is a
creditable representative OF Indianapolis
wage earners. He is an active member and
an ex-international delegate Of tie typo
graphical union; his appointments have been
made from the ranks of organized artisans;
his record as an incumbent has been one
to be proud of, and no class of wage-earn-
ers can find an ample pretext for opposing
his reelection"

Democrats have been trying TO max
capital out of false statements to the ef-

against Mr.. Trusler. These reports have
been spread in various parts of the city.
For a long time no attention was paid 10
them by the club members. because they
were looked upon as simply campaign lies
too Insignificant TO notice. But recently
the statements have been so boldly made
that some action was deemed proper and
the question was brought before the
league. When the position was stated and
tile matter was formally voted upon Ii
was found that there was not a single
voice against Mr.. Trusler. a committee
consisting of Earnest Buehning. John Nc
Greg0r and W. w. Milford, was appointed,
and yesterday morning called upon Mr..

Lawyer Murchison's Funeral.

The funeral of Il. r. Murchison,
the colored attorney who died
Thursday morning, occurred from
the Mount Zion Baptist church
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
1t was largely attended, the exer-
cises at the church being very i'm
pressive, Rev. II. NJ. Williams,
the pastor, conducting the SER
vices. After prayer by Rev. 7. w.
Wilbourn, j. d. Crenshaw read a
biographical sketch of the de-
ceased. Feeling and appropriate
addresses were delivered by DIR. G.
J. Starnes, Revs. NJ. Henson, A.
Hardly and A. w. Smith. Rev.
II. FL. Boyd, a lifelong friend of
the deceased, preached the funeral
sermon. DR. J. Il. Walton delivered
touching eulogy at the grave.
Prof. j. G. Hunt presided at the
organ. The colored people have
lost an able advocate and a useful
man. The deceased stood high
among them, and not only enjoyed
their unbounded respect and conf
dence, but that of many of our best
white citizens.

An Old Problem,

One of the problems that is as old as
the science of mathematics is that of
'squaring the circle" By squaring the
circle is meant the problem of tinding
the sides of square exactly equal in
area to circle of given diameter. To
do this, either by elementary geometry
or by expressing it automatically in
Commensurate numbers, has been
found to be an impossibility. In other
words, the ratio between the diameter
and the circumference of a circle cannot
be exactly found, even though in the di-
vision, the decimal be carried to 5000
figures. The above being the exact
facts in the case, we will say that the
problem of ''squaring the circle" is one
that has long been given up by the
mathematicians as insoluble.

RuBeER-TIRED CABS.
The Londoner Now Glides Over the Streets
without a JAR.


Dancing has been described rs the
poetry of motion, and perhaps it was at
the time the description was peuned;
but that was some time ago, says the
New York. Independent. To-day the
poetry of motion is found in driving in
a rubber-tired hanson cab over a wood
paved London street. For miles you
glide along, scarcely conscious that you
are moving until your course is arrested
by blocking of teams near Hyde Park
corner. No conversation is ever inter-
rupted by drive in London. Indeed,
if you want a few quiet words alone
with friend, the best way TO get them
is to take a cab. There, unless there
he something in your manner to excite
the drivers curiosity or suspicion which
may LS5uce him to open the trap door
in the top of the cab and listen, you are
as secluded as you would be in your
cwn boudoir. don't know how many
hanson cabs there are in London, but /
know that there are at least Is, 645, for
/ saw that number on the back of one.
So that you are never at a loss for them.

A PREVALENT DISEASE.
Not Necess' rily Dangerous But
Nav Become So.

American men and women suffer from a
very general Sease-dYSpspsia
Dyspepsia has many symptoms. Thin,
pale ppople are generally dvspeptic. Hol-
low cheeks, bad breath, acid eructations,
paipitation of the heart, hot and Id
tlushes, headaches, nasea, and vomiting,
all til Sc are sympJ ms OF dyspepsia.
WHAT does dyspepsia mean? In two
words, imperfect Digestion. How can we
remedy IL? Not aSone BY resort to drugs.
We must rest our stomach.
For this purpose we must put into II a
food which Is already digested and which
will aid the digestion of other food. We
must take Shaker Digestive Cordial, for
this Is just such a preparation. II con-
taiDS food which will b. abs prbed at once.
IL also contains principles which will as
siSt the digestion of other foods, while
last but not least, IL contains a cOmbina-
ton of those drugs In the cultivation Of
which the Shakers have been so success
full, and which act by stimulating the
liver and bowels.
Imperfect digestion is often caused by
overwork OF the digestive apparatus, too
much food, food eaten too quickly, nerv-
Gus worry, etc.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is the
most successful remedy for ind gestion
that has ever been made. A single 10
cent tctte will afford relief In most cases,
although this small quantity cannot be
expected to effect perfect cure.
If you find 1t suitable 10 your o&n case,
continue iJs use. All druggists keep it
and caa supply you with an interesting
descrip i've pamphlet.

AS that term in England is never men
toned in polite society, and signifies a

not appreciate its uniqueness. Upon

bugs of that portion of the country were
henceforth known by the more refined
title of the Norfolk Howards"

OIL FROM SHALE.
Singular ScottisN Industry Stimulated by
the Dr,p In Petroleum.

Singular ScottisN Industry Stimulated by
the Dr,p In Petroleum.
The drop in the production of petro-
leum in this country has had the effect
. of stimulating an almost extinct iu-
dustry in Scotland, the distillation of
oil from shale. Fifty years ago it was
of great Importance and was even
worked under royalties in the United
States, where there were between
fifty and sixty coal and shale distiller-
les. While the producers were at the
height of their prosperity, the natural
oil fields were opened and the old
business went to pieces, so that only
two Scotch companies were left in the
field. Like most manufacturing en-
terprises in Scotland, it was the waste
products which furnished the profits
of the industry. The mineral distilled
is bituminous shale or hard clay, and
the product of the distillation, of
which seventy-fve million gallons
were made last year, bears little re-
sembfance to coal oil.
The waste products which have con-
tributed to the continued existence of
the industry are paraffine wax and
the sulphate of ammonia. The value
of the former has been affected Sc
riously by the output of the distilleries
In this country, but the ammonia is
produced only from shale: and the
fluctuations in its price have decided
very largely the profits of the business.
The crude shale oil has to be distilled
like petroleum and the lamp oil re-
fined from it has a higher flash point
and density than that made from Pc
troleum. As the price of oil has fallen,
the shale distilleries have improved the
retorts and stills to an extent which
has resulted in the reduction in the
cost of the finished oil to a little over
four cents gallon, about one-sixth
Of the cost thirty years ago. 1t is inn
possible not to admire the logged de-
termination and enterprise which, year
after year, has caused the accounts of
the Scotch companies still working to
show saving in working expenses
that has practically neutralized the
loss from the falling prices.-N. Y.
