that the object of the meeting was to

best information obtainable is that the
distinguished Georgia democrats have

Altgeld Tries to Save Himself From
the Wreck.


CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Trading off Will
lam j. Bryan in the interests Of Gov.
Altgeld is charged by out-and-out
silver men.
They point to the meeting at which
the much Wanted silver raid on Cook
county is to be inaugurated as con-
tanning germs of disloyalty to Bryan
The meeting Is to be held in the Audi
torium next Tuesday evening, and is to
be an Altgeld meeting pure and simple.
It has been agreed that not a word is
to be uttered in behalf of Bryan 1t is
to be "Altgeld, Altgeld and nothing but
Altgeld."
SO incensed are the silver extremists
at this development that a meeting has
been called by them for the following
evening, Wednesday, in Central Music
hall, where the cry will be Bryan,
Bryan and nothing but Bryan" l.. H.
Stevens, of Denver, who is in charge Of
silver headquarters at the Clifton
house, has arranged for the Music hall
meeting. "The meeting will be a silver
Republican meeting" said Mr.. Stevens.
and only silver Republicans will speak
there" There will be no protest
against the boycotting of Bryan at the
Auditorium meeting Of the night previ-
Gus, but hints will be dropped suffi-
GENTLY pointed to remind the friends of
Gov. Altgeld that a man named Will
lam Jennings Bryan is running for the
office Of president Of the United States.
National Committeeman Jameson
says he has official and absolute knowl-
edge Of the trading of Bryan in the in
terests of Gov. Altgeld. He says this
in no spirit of anxiety, but as going to
show that the Democrats realize that
the state is lost to Bryan and that a
desperate effort is being made to save
something from the cyclone expected

room late yesterday afternoon They
belonged principally to the Scandi
naV1an and Bohemian nations, though
there was sprinkiing Of Germans
among them. There were some whose
comprehension Of the English language
seemed rather vague and uncertain.
One applicant who faced Judge Otis
made an affirmative response to every
question. When the Judge asked him
II he knew any reason why he could
not discharge the duties OF. an American
citizen. ETC., the aspirant for that hon

i say" repeated Judge Otis. you
don't know of any reason, do you, why
you cannot discharge the duties of an

Again the applicant nodded assent.
But he now enjoys all the privileges

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

lOr turing Dyspepsia.
The Rev. f. I. Bell, highly esteemed
minister residing in Weedsport, Cayuga
Co., N. Y, In recent letter writes as
follows: There has never been any
thing that have taken that has re-
lieved the Dyspepsia from which /
have suffered for ten years except the
new remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Since taking them I have
had no distress at all after eating and
again after long years can sleep well.
Rev. r. I. Bell, Weedsport, N. z, for
merly Idalia, Colo.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is a re-
markabie remedy, not only because it
iS certain cure for all forms of indi-
gestion, but because 1t seems to act
as thoroughly In old chronic cases Of
Dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks
Of indigestion or biliousness. A person
has dyspepsia simply because the storn-
ach LIZ overworked, all it wants ie a
harmless, vegetable remedy to digest
the food and thus give It the much
needed rest.
This is the secret Of the success Of
this peculiar remedy. No matter how
weak or how much disordered the diRes-
ton may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
Will digest the food whether the ston-
ach works or not. New life and energy
Is given not only to the stomach, but
to every organ and nerve in the body
A trial Of this splendid medicine will
convince the most skeptical that Dys-
pepsia and all stomach troubles can
be cured. The tablets are prepared by,
the Stuart Chemical Co., of Marshall.
Mich, but so popular has the remedy
become, that Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets can now be obtained at any drug
store at so cents per package Send for
