Malaria.

There are numerous diseases having
their origin in the blood, but which on
the surface do not appear to be blood
disease. Such is Malaria, which is a
poison breathed into the lungs, and thus
taken into the blood and circulated, inn
buing the entire system with its morbid
effects. Those who have suffered from
this dreaded disease know what life
less condition epsues and how the yitality
is wasted away so that death is often
caused by some simple malady, because
of the low ebb to which life Is reduced
by this poverty Of blood. This condi-
ton of the blood often gives rise to
boils, carbuncles, assesses and ulcers,
and not infrequently causes catarrh.
bronchitis, and even consumption.
Captain Henry Bond, late of the U. s.
Navy, has been q scattering man all his
life, and has been in all parts of the
world, having sailed twice around the
Cape of Good Hope, once around Cape
Horn and three times through the Suez
Canal. Captain Bond resides at the Ma
tional Military Home, Dayton, Ohio, and
in recent letter says: "For thirty-two
years have been sufferer from ma
laria, and certainly know what this terri
BILE disease is. have tried remedies in

Consul General HIcIyor Makes a Report
 to the State Department.
 WASHINGTON, July 24.-Consu1 Gen. sral McIvor at Kanagawa has forwarded to the state department tables showing the foreign trade of Japan for 1895. In these tables the Japanese silver yen has been taken as equivalent to $0.51, this being its mean value during that year. The total value of exports was $68, ,093,- 662 and of imports s65, 922 1895. Of this amount the United States is credited with $27 ,554, 764 for exports and a. 7S0,94S for imports The customs du- ties collected were for exports, $1 ,029,- 900; imports, $2. 851 ,8O9; miscellaneous, SS8, ,045, making total of &, ,049, 1855.
 During the year 1864 steamers and 1006 sailing vessels entered the port of Japan from foreign countries, of these 96 were American, eS7 British and 37l German. Forty nine American steam. CTS and sailing vessels were engaged in the coastwise trade of Japan as against 781 British, 104 French and 18l Ger man.

BRYAN MIN JUBILAN'r
They Believe the Convention
 Will Indorse Him.
sBwALI WILL BE LEFT OUT.

 It Is the Intention of Many of the
 Delegates to Put a Populist on For
 Second PIaoe-The Silver Convention
 Is Harmonious and Is Pushing Busi-
 ness Along.
 ST. LOUIS, July 24.-The situation here points more strongly to Bryan's in dorsement or nomination. In fact, the Bryan managers declare that they are absolutely certain that so far as the head of the ticket is concerned they are out of the woods. But with regard to Sew all there are grave doubts, and there is now probably a majority of the conven- tion against the Bath shipbuilder. They are using all their energies to prevent the complications that will follow an in- dorsement of Bryan and the nomina- tion of Popnlist for vice president.
 The 'middle-of- -the-road men ean not get together on candidate for presi- dent. Debs is their favorite, but the Bryan managers say they have word that he will decline the further use of his name. If Populist is not named for vice president there is sure to be bolt of some of the southern delegates. But the Bryan managers, it is said, would welcome such bolt if it como with victory for the whole Chicago ticket. They claim that they will un- doubtedly control the committee on per manent organization and resolutions as they have majority of the state and territorial delegations.
 It is their purpose if they control to frame platform along the lines of the Chicago platform with as few conees- sions to the radicals as possible. For permanent chairman there is good deal of talk of both Senator Allen and Gin Weaver, but the former desires to re- main on the floor and General Weaver has been elected to nominate the silver knight of the west 1t seems probable. therefore, that there will bo selected, perhaps, ex-Goyernor Lewe1ling or ex- Congressman Davis. The "middle-of- the-road" contingents desire Ignatius Donnelly.
 After the additional committees werc announced and the report of the committee on credentials is disposed of Mrs Lease will regale the convention with her oratory. A recess will then be taken when the permanent chair man will be installed and the fight on the platform be begun As it looks now the nomination of candidates will not be made until tonight.

The Silver Convention.

ST. LOUIS, July, 24.-A poll of the Silver convention shows the former political affiliations of the delegates to be as follows; Republicans, 526; Dem ocrats, 135; Populists, 9; 6reenbaekers, 1; Indehendents, 13. The roll call also shows 196 Union soldiers, IS Con federate soldiers and Mexican veter- ans.
 The entire day of the Silver conven. tion has been taken up in speech mak. ing. judge G. R. Scott. of Omaha. Gen. McIves, of Louisiana, and other distinguished silverites addressed the convention amid much enthusiasm, At the conclusion of Judge Scott's speech the convention rose in a body and cheered.
 At l2:30 the convention adjourned until 3;30 p. m., at which time the platform will be taken up and dis. cussed.

DON'T PLAY IN MY YARD.
Rows and Fights Galore Attended to
 in the Police Court.

Our city forum is frequently tht scene of amusing incidents. It i, the most thriving business institu tion in the county. The amazing rapidity with which the dollars droI into the till maketh glad the hearts of the police and chief thereof. Nol is the populace slow in rejoicing. This morning there were many offenders before acting Judge Vance.
 The minor cases were soon dispos- ed of.
 Then came the case of the City vs. one Smith. A formidable array of witnesses had gathered to testify in regard to 'spute concerning of dog" ----ss
 It seems that MT. Smith-of a chocolate hue-and Mrs. Johnson of the same tint, were near neigh bors. Smith threatened Johnson s dog and there the trouble began.
 Smith denied everything and then Mrs. Smith took the stand. With the manner and mein of Egypt's dusky queen she told the story of her woes.
 tTell all you know" said the Judge.
 "He said he gwine to hit my dog, en l tole him he mustn't meddle in my yard, en he say he warn't talk ing to me, en I say I warn't talking to him I were talking to cousin, en he musn't meddle in my yard.
 ''Is that all?'
 "Yeas sir
 "How did he disturb your peace?"
 "Oh, he cut my conversation off. "
 The court thought that was not enough to constitute disturbance of the peace.
 Irene Ellis was next tried for fighting. She and Percy Harvill had it out in the laundry yesterday.
 Percy called her ''outen her name, and she lowed he was some thing awful and he hit her on the head with a poker.
 Irene had money, paid her fine. Percy made his escape but was cap tured last night oy Deputy Con- stable Creed Taylor. He will be tried today.

There was clergy mems division, as well as business mems, military. ladies', mail car rier's, and divisions of clubs, civic societies and secret organizations. The streets along the route were lined with spectators who applaud ed vociferously the many humor- ous and grotesque features of the parade.
