Because he had palpitation OF the
heart, Mr.. a. j. Allen determined 10
quit smoking. lie thought the
tobacco habit was the cause OF his
trouble, but when he ceased smoking
the pulsations Of the heart were
more violent than ever. Mr.. Allen
is a registered chemist, Of Lynn,
Mass, and at second thought he
concluded that. if tobacco wasn't
the cause. it must be acute dyspepsia.
His knowledge of chemistry naturally
prompted him to take Ripans
Tabules, well knowing their efficacy
in disorders Of the stomach. liver,
and bowels Quick relief followed,
and now there Is no more distress in
the region of his heart. But the
remarkable part OF Mr.. Aliens
experience follows: lie decided 10
forego smoking anyhow, ana
discovered that Ripans Tabules not
only satisfied the longing for
tobacco, which all smokers are
familiar with, but at first he actually
looked forward with pleasure 10 the
three periods each day when he
took the Tabules. Mir. Allen no longer
smokes, and has no desire to. nor
does he take the Tabules. He is a
we'll man. and does not need medicine
OF any kind Mr. Allen believes
Ripans Tabules will prove a powerful
aid to any man who desires TO
abandon the tobacco habit.

Faiss Hopes
CHICAGO, July 5.-The Michigan del
legation and those who will urge a
contest arrived here today. No formal
notice has been filed and at conference
of the contestants tonight 1t was de-
cided not to go before the national
committee except as formalities may
require, but to await the appointment
of the committee on credentials by the
is here to present the argument in be-
half Of the contestants. Judge Nc
Grath, who heads the delegation, says
that sensational disclosures will be made
when the case is heard.
Senator Hill was in conference today
with some of the contestants for the dis
trict seats from Michigan. He suggest
ed to them the impossibility of conduct
ing the contests on the basis indicated
by them, so as to change the complex
ion of the delegation and make it for
silver instead of gold. He told them
that in Democratic conventions the state
and not the district was the unit, as in
the Republican conventions. The sug-
gestion was accepted as one of impor-
tance, and 1t has apparently had a
strong influence upon the contestants.
Out Of this fact a rumor grew to the
effect that the senator had said in case
the regular delegates were unseated
the New York delegates would bolt the
convention. He declares, however. that
the report is without foundation.

Yale Oarsmen Find Waiting

HENLEY ON THAMES, July g.
This has been a quiet day among the
oarsmen and has been spent in some
weary expectancy and waiting for the
time to pass. The Yale men. as well as
all other crews, took complete rest.
Most of the Yale crew remained at their
quarters at Marsh Mi,i house the live
long day.
Their racing will begin on Tuesday at
1880 o'clock in the morning. when E.
Bedding of the Thames rowing club and
II. K. Beaumont of Burton-on-Trent
will row their preliminary heat for the
diamond sculls. AT IL o'clock will come
the contest between S. S. Wann of Trim
ity Hall and Vivian Nickalls in their
preliminary heat for the diamond sculls.
At 1880 the preliminary heat of the
eight-oared race for the Grand Chal-
lengecup is scheduled between the Lon
don rowing club and First Trinity Cam
bridge. New College, oxford and Trim
ity Hall, Cambridge, will row their pre-
liminary heat for the Grand Challenge
cup at o'clock. At 2 o'clock comes the
heat between the Leander crew and the
Yale crew, which will decide whether
Yale is to appear in the second round of
the race. If Yale wins the first heat she
will have to row the second heat with the
victor as between New College and Trim
ity. 1t is expected that this will be
New College. So that Yale will have to
meet the two crews that are considered
most to be feared before the final events.
DEFEAT PREDICTED
LONDON, July 6-In its comment
upon the Henley regatta Sporting Life
says:
at is a great pity that Yale and Lean
der were drawn together for the first
heat. 1t will rob the regatta of deal
of interest, and 1t means that the Ameri-
cans will probably be defeated in the
first round"
The Sportsman expresses similar re-
grets over the drawing, but adds
Should the wind be anything like as
strong as it was today the Americans
ought to beat Leander. Should the
wind drop, however, they will stand
little chance"
The Standard thinks that the Yale
crew has improved so much that the re-
suit of the race for the grand challenge
cup is an open question.
An editorial in the Daily Telegraph
contains congratulations to Yale men
for their steady modesty and their will
ingness to take hints from English oars
men. "It is pity" remarks the Daily
Telegraph, that they have drawn Le-
ander. Many Englishmen honestly
wish them success"

main building was where the fire started,
but how is not known. A delicacy store

Perry was asleep in her place when she
heard some one come into the next door,
proceed to the rear shed and knock around
some time. She distinctly heard kindling
being chopped but finally. at about l.
o'clock, the noise ceased and the person de-
parted.
An hour and a half later the flames broke
out in the shed. The alarm was given and
the blaze put out in short order when the
engines arrived. The stock, which was
very low, was completely destroyed, at

BANKERS WARNINGS
Laughed to scorn by the Delegates From
Utah

Utah
Judge Powers Of Utah is among the
delegates who have received letters from
a banking firm of this city in regard to
the effect that silver declaration
would have upon the business interests
of the country. In this letter 1t is stated
that s4S1, 900 has been invested through
the firm in Utah. Referring to the cir
cular, Judge Powers says:
'If this company and the clients of
that concern do not care to play in our
back yard they needn't. If they do not
want to invest in Utah some one else
will. Their clients will receive what
ever is due them, for Utah will pay dollar
for dollar, as named in the bond. If
these bankers think they can intimi-
date and prevent us from carrying out
the will of our constituents by covert
threats then I say to them that we were
not brought up in the mountains to be
scared by owls. If they intend to create
a financial panic in order to drive people
to support the gold standard, l have only
to say to them that in pulling out the
pillars of the financial temple they will
bring the edifice upon their own heads
as we'll as ours. We can stand 1t as well
as they. think the bankers had better
vote their attention to business. Per-
haps there would be fewer failures"

HONOLULU, June 2S, per steamer
City of Pekin to San Francisco, July g.
The nomination of Mckinley created
no surprise in this city. Although he is
the author Of a bill that injured this
country in a commercial way. it is not
