given attention by the church generally
and regularly.
The lay delegates held another meet.
ing last night. They considered the
advisability Of forming national asso-
citation of Methodist laymen to discuss
religious topics, attract attention and
WELD influence" The main idea is to
make the laymen of more importance
in the church. A plan of organization
will be submitted at a later meeting.
The meeting voted that all future gen.
eral conferences the lay delegates will
occupy seats apart by themselves, un-
less they are granted representation
equal to that of the ministers. 1t was
voted unanimously that the laymen
will insist tnat the new constitution
shall receive a two.thirds vote of all
the laymen of the church before it goes
into force, instead of leaving the APP
prevail to the annual conferences where
ministers predominant.

coast and hundreds of fishing crafts

of the opportunity. Steamers laden

to northern ports where the people are
almost starving, the shortage of pro-

New Election Law.

In this issue we commence the
publication of the new election
law. 1t is quite lengthy and will
require several weeks, but will be
continued weekly until it has been
published in ertenso. The presi.
DENTAL and congressional election
on the LIST Tuesday in November
will be held under this law. 1t is
quite complicated and virtually
and in effect impos an education.
al qualification, as it is impossible
for All elector who cannot read, to
comply with it's provisions. In.
deed, it is necessary that even vo.
ters of education and intelligence
should familiarize themselves in
advance with its requirements,
otherwise they will experience diff
ticulty in the preparation of their
tickets in the limited time allowed
by the law.
We believe we can safely say
that it will disfranchise more OF
the illiterate vote, than the suf
frage amendment, which was so
nnceremoniously rejected at the
last election, would have done.
Copies of the DEMOCRAT cantain-
ing the law should be preserved,
until it has been published in It's
entirety.

-"For five weeks / lived on
cold water, so to speak," writes a
man who suffered terribly from in
digestion.
He could hardly keep anything
on his stomach. What stayed,
wasn't properly digested and gave
him terrible pangs.
This is not All uncommon case.
Dyspeptics don't get enough nour-
lshment. They are generally thin
and weak.
They may eat enough, but they
don't digest enough. Much OF
what they eat turns into poison.
If this keeps on there's no telling
sUhat disease they may get next.
That's why it is best to take
Shaker Digestive Cordial, as soon
as symptoms Of indigestion appear.
1t cures all the evils Of indiges-
ton, and prevents the evils which
indigestion causes.

AN INSTRUCTIVE SERMON
Rev. B. L. Price, Pastor Of the
Presbyterian Church, delivered an
instructive aud impressive sermon
Sunday morning IN tue subject OF
tue X.Rays. His text was taken
from the LIST chapter, 10th verse Of
Ecclesiastics. The calculation OF
his subject by the Reverend gen
tleman, showing a similitude be-
tween the unseen, but penetrating
effect of the X-Rays and the invis-
lille, but infallibie power of the
Deity, was intensely interesting
and is universally pronounced by
those who heard it, to have been
one of the best clerical efforts ever
delivered in the pulpits Of Alex
andria.

Taken under medical direction, in con-
nection with the right medicine, they
will help effect cure. No women who
suffers at all from so-called "female weak
ness" should attempt athletics Of any
sort. She should FIRST put herself into
possession Of strong and hearty health by
taking DR.. Pierce's ,Favorite Prescription.
After she is thoroughly wql, exercise and
diversion will help to keep her well. The
cure should come FIRST. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is designed and rec
commended for only the one thing. It
acts directly uponone set of organs. No
matter what is the matter with them, it
will cure it. It will not cure anything
else. 1t is wholesome tonic, an invig-
Grating nervine, or nervc-food as we'll as
