The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in, all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive Ire known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing it's work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send
for list of testimonials.

The story of the discovery and I'M
parallel success of Paine's celery COM
pound is the story of a high purpose,
steadfastly followed; the reward tor
the life-study of the nervous system
in health and disease. Prof. Edward
E. Phelps discovery in the laboratory
of the Dartmouth Medical School
proved a monumental work in the art
of dealing successfully with many dis
eases that were up to that time held to
be obstinate of cure. To-day rheu-
matism and neuralgia, heart palpita-
ton and nervous dyspepsia are taken
in hand by Paine's celery compound
with the absolute assurance of freeing
the system of them entirely.
In this greatest of all remedies there
is hope for every person distressed by
symptoms of dyspepsia, impure blood,
failing vigor or low nervous condition.

DOUBLE BABY.
The Remarkable Lorain Freak of Ma
ture is Dead.

LoRAIN, OHIO, Sept. 11.-Clyde Nc
Pherson, the double child of Mr. and
Mrs. MCPHERSON, died this morning
from an attack of cholera infantum.
The child was four months old on
Wednesday, having been born April
18th.
Since its birth the child has grown
steadily, the head, Or heads, having
become quite large. 1t has been
healthy with the exception of a ore
on one side of its head.
The most remarkable feature about
the child was that one child furnished
the nutriment for both, while their
nervous systems were separate, as
pain felt by n was not felt by the
other.

CHAIRMAN DoUD. DEPOSED.
He is Accused of Furnishing Boss Fill
ley With Valuable Cam
paign Secrets.


Chairman Sam B. Cook of the DEM
ocratic State Committee, was particu-
larry happy yesterday. He was con-
| WINGED that a traitor had been dis
covered in the Democratic camp Just
in time to prevent a treacherous plot
against the success of the State and
national tickets being put into execu-
ton, and that the discovery and frus-
tration of this plot were sure to result
in a closer and firmer union between
the Democratic and National silver
forces in Missouri; such a union as was
intended when the latter party nomi-
mated the Democratic standard bear
ers, Bryan and Sewall, as it's presiden-
tial ticket at the convention held in
this city in July last.
1t was Mr.. NJ. F. Doud, until yester-
day chairman of the Missouri State
Committee of the National Silver
party, whom Chairman Cock believed
to have developed into a traitor, and
it was the removal of MI. Doud from
the Office of chairman which caused
Chairman Cook such profound salts
faction. Doud's removal was made
late Thursday night at Kansas City,
where the National Silver Party State
Committee a in session, and the
reason for his removal was the charge
that he was playing into Chauncey I.
Filley's hand for the benefit of the
Republican party with information
which he received as State Chairman
of the National Silver party.
1t was learned, Mr.. Cook states, that
Chairman Doud was trying to make
a deal whereby on the National Silver
ticket for the November elections the
names of Republican State candidates
were to follow those of the National
Silver party's presidential electors.
Mr.. Doud's explanation of this deal,
it is said, was that he was trying to
put it through in order to "save Bryan
and Sewall in Missouri" The alb
surdity of this deal, when it is con-
ceded by all well-posted observers of
the situation that the Democratic
presidential ticket is destined to
sweep Missouri by an unprecedented
majority, need not be commented up
on.
Naturally, the Democratic campaign
managers did not relish the idea of
this willy scheme being put into exc
cution, and the State Committee of the
National Silver party, in session at
Kansas City, was communicated with.
The result was the immediate removal
of Mr.. Doud from the craftsmanship of
the committee. Announcement of this
action was made to Chairman Cook of
the Democratic State Committee in
the following telegram:
"Doud deposed. Do you want sill
yer party represented at Bryan meet
ing Saturday night?
j. D. CLARKsoN.
Chairman Cook at once replied by
wire that he hoped the silver party
would be represented at the Bryan
meeting by every member who could
be on hand at that time, and then the
of the removal of Chairman
Doud vas given out with great pleas
ure. 1t is not yet known who will
succeed Mr.. Doud as chairman, but it
is safe to say that someone will be put
guard who will not play into Mr..
Filiey's hands.

LAMONT AND FRANCIS ACT.
Messages OF Endorsement Of Palmer
and Buckner Sent.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Secretary
of War Lamont sent the following
telegram yesterday to ex-Congress-
man w. d. Bynum, of Indiana, chair
man of the executive committee Of
the gold Democrats, in response to an
invitation to be present at the notif-
cation of Senator Palmer and General
Buckner at Louisville Saturday:
"WAsHINaToN, d. O., Sept. 9.-The
Hon. William d. Bynum, Chairman,
etc.: I regret that / am unable to ac-
cept the invitation of your committee
to be present at the notification to
Senator John M. Palmer and Cover
nor Simon B. Buckner of their nomi-
nation by the National Democratic
party for President and vice-Presi-
dent of the United States.
sThe outcome of the Indianapolis
convention in candidates and plat
form is inspiring to every Democrat
who refuses to abandon the principles
established by the fathers and stead
lastly maintained with pride and
honor, and who declines to adopt the
new and strange creed proclaimed In
a moment of delirium at Chicago and
promptly recognized and ratified as
its own by the Populist party at ST.
Louis.
81 prefer to keep the old faith and
remain a Democrat, and shall accord
ingly cast my vote for Palmer and
Buckner. DANIEL 8. LAMoNT.n
MR.. LAMoNT's FIRST DECLARATION.
The telegram excited considerable
comment in political circles when it
became known last night. 1t was the
first declaration of the Secretary con-
corning his attitude In the present
campaign, and was thought here to
foreshadow the position which the
President would probably take in re-
gard to the Indianapolis nominations.
The position of Secretaries Morton,
Olney and Herbert toward the Chi
cago ticket and already known, and
Secretary Carlisle has expressed his
favorable opinion of the Indianapolis
nominations.
Secretary Lamont's declaration was
hailed with satisfaction at the Repub-
lican headquarters. At Democratic
congressional committee headquar-
ters the officials declared that the po-
sition taken by Mr.. Lamont had al
ready been discounted, but Senator
Faulkner, the chairman of the COM
mittee, declined to be interviewed on
the subject.
Secretary Lamont declined to make
any further statement concerning the
reasons for his action, merely saying
that the telegram to Mr.. Bynum
!'covered the case"
MIR. FRANCIS STRONG MESSAGE.
To-day Secretary Francis sent the
telegram to Mr.. Bynum:
"Regret that I cannot accept your in
vitation to attend the notification of
Generals Palmer and Buckner at
Saturday evening. These
old heroes have fought valiantly for
their convictions on many a battle
field, but NJ patriot ever enlisted in a
nobler cause than that which they
have consented to lead. 1t lie the
maintenance of the country's honor
and the preservation of the integrity
of Democratic principles on whose
perpetuity depends the survival of our
tfMay the nominees receive that
earnest and jealous support which
their high character and the National
party's pure aims so rich
ly merit. D. r. FRANCIS"
