Chicago ticket and platform should with,
draw. Senator DAILY: of Hudson county,

cago platform and candidates in emphatic
language, opposes trusts and combines
and charges the State administration
with gross extravaganza in the conduct of
State affairs.

ty, and Theodore Budd, of Burlington;

ARRESTS WILL, FOLLOW r.

New Orleans, Sept. 9.-President Chal-
eron closed the bank without consulting
the directors. The cause of the suspen-
sion is attributed to n long line of defal-
cations discovered when the system OF
bookkeeping was changed and which are
said to amount to about half a million
dollars. There has been quite IL run on
the bank for some time, SO that the de-
posts still in its charge will not reach
100000, the largest individual depositor
having about $50, 600. The failure caused
quite run on the other banks and to-
night the clearing house passed a resolu-
ton limiting Withdrawals to 500 so as to
prevent panic.
Bank Examiner, johnson remained at
work all night on the books of the bank
and will forward his report to Washing
ton in the morning. 1t is expected that
several arrests will be ordered before noon
tomorrow. Suspicion seems to rest upon
some of the bank employees. None of the
employees are being Swallowed, however

Should be
Looked Into.
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION
REQUESTED.
A BOLD ASSERTION

Ever since Prof Koch startled the world
by promising to cure consumption with the
Koch lymph and his complete failure to do
so, the people have been looking for some
discovery which would prove an absolute,
certain cure for that dread disease. Over a
quarter of century ago Dr. r. v. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, put in a claim
for medicine, which he had discovered
and used, in his extensive practice, that
would care ninety eight per cent. of all cases
OF consumption when taken in all its early
stages. Time has proved that his assertion
was based on facts gained from experience
His Golden Medical Discovery " has cured
many thousand people in all parts of the
world, and DIR. Pierce invites all interested
to send to him for free book which gives
the names, addresses and photographs of
many prominent people who have willingly
testified to the marvellous curative proper
ties of his Golden Medical Discovery. !"
He has also written Book of 1000 pages,
profusely illustrated which treats of Throat,
Bronchial and Lung diseases, also Asthma
and Catarrh. Mailed FREE by the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo,
N. Y, on receipt of twenty one (2I) cents in
stamps, to pay postage and wrapping only.
Consumption, as most everybody knows,
Is first manifested by feeble vitality, loss
OF strength, emaciation then local symp-
toms soon develop as cough, difficult
breathing, or bleeding from lungs, when
investigation proves that tubercu1ar de-
posts have formed in the lungs. It is
earnestly advised that the Discover" be
taken early and the. latter stages of the
disease can thereby be easily avoided.
To build up solid flesh and STRENGTH after
hausting fevers, and other prostrating dis
eases, 1t has no equal. 1t does not make
fat like cod liver oil and its nasty COM
pounds, but, solid, wholesome flesh.
