THE FIGHT ON.
Work of Undermining McKin-

Made Apparent by Charles Man.
dersOn's Candidacy.
He May Divide OhiO's and Ne
braSka's Delegations.

Senator Thurston Rallies the Mckiu-
ley Clubs at Lincoln and Warns
Them to See That the Peoples
Wishes are Not Thwarted.
Present indications point to a concerted
effort to undermine MoKinley's presiden-
tial strength In the states from which
he is promised his greatest support, can
didates are springing up. 1t is hoped by
the "favorite son" plan to keep the NOM
ination from Mckinley until the politi-
clans have an opportunity to work on the
floor of the convention hall.
The announcement Of Manderson,
oiyen exclusively in these columns Tues
day, caused stir. Manderson being an
ex x-Cantonian, it was thought he was n
staunch Mckinley man. His candidacy,
and that of other leaders in other states
will all have a. tendency to injure the
Canton man.
A Lincoln dispatch gives the latest
sensation;
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS. DEMOCRAT.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 19.-The McKin-
ley club entertained with q banquet
last night representatives of the McKin-
ley clubs in Nebraska. Senator Thurs
ton said he had nothing to do with the
organization of the Mckinley clubs, but
was anxious to see Nebraska Republi-
cans free to exercise their choice for
president. He thought eight of every
ten Nebraska Republicans preferred Nc
Kinley.
Said he: II only ask that the friends
of Mckinley see to it that the will
the majority is not thwarted to see tn; b
every candidate for delegate honestly
announces his position, and above all
ask that the Nebraska delegatian shall
be selected in such way that 1t cannot
be used for barter"
This speech is very significant follow
ing the announcement of the candidacy
of Senator Manderson of this state.

These sharp, raw, capricious days of
February are blamed for much sickness
that is simply the direct result of nerv-
GUS weakness.
Perfect health will keep one above any
depressing influence from the weather.
Pure, richer blood and better fed nerv
Gus tissues will make people feel we'll
even in February.
During his many many years of hard
and wonderful work, Prof. Edward e.
Phelps, Dartmouth's great professor, had
in mind the thousands who were weak
and run down. His study of the many
cases Of nervous prostration, neuralgia
rheumatism, dyspepsia, and debility led
him to that most marvellous discovery of
the century, Paine's celery compound.
In every city, as well as the smaller
villages scattered through this country,
are men and women who for years have
relied upon Paines' celery compound
whenever they found themselves weak

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion Of
Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of certain
decay and death.
In the human body these germs Of dis.
ease and death (called by scientists Ptom.
aines), are usually the results Of imper
feet digestion Of food: the result of indi.
gestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di
gest the food The result is heavy
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay poisoning the blood
making it thin weak, and lacking in red
oorpuscles; poisoning the brain, causing
headaches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, caus
! ing palpitation and finally bringing or
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidne "
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishmcnt and renewal, anf
weak digestion shows itself not only II
LOSS Of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley
said the best start in life is q sound stom
ach. Weak stomachs fail to digest 1000
properly, because they lack the proper
quantity of digestive acids Qactic and
| hydrochloric) and peptogenic products
| the most sensible remedy in all cases
Of indigestion, is to take after each meal,
one or two Of Stuarts' Dyspeptio Tablets,
because they supply in a pleasant, harm
less form all the elements that weak
stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form Of stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear
complexion, because all of these result
only from wholesome food we'll digestcd.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at 80 cents full siz ed
package or by mai by enclosing price to
Stuart Co. Marshall, Mich, but ask
your druggist first.

and out Of health. Hundreds of letters
like the following from Mrs. Porter Of
New York City, tell of this great medicine
has kept them we'll and strong.
New York, January 3, 1896.
Messrs. Wells g. Richardson Co.:
DearSirs-For several years have used
your Paine's celery compound wherever
found myself running down in health.
During that time have recommended it
frequently to my friends and know of
many persons who have been much bene-
fitted by 1t. an never without bottle
of it in the house, and take great pleas
ure in expressing to you my belief that it
does great work for humanity.
Mrs. NJ. Porter, 2S9 Eighth Ave.
Mrs. Porter's experience is like thousands
of other. Paine's celery compound made
her we'll, because it fed tho starved nerves
and blood and regulated their functions.
Try 1t and be convinced of It's remmark-
able power to cure disease.
