The big hearty, healthy man is contin-
ual irritation to his dyspeptic friend. One
man in a hundred is perfectly healthy.
The other 90 have some digestive trouble,
and perhaps more than so per cent. of
these could trace their trouble to that most
prevalent evil-constipation. It's simple
thing of itself, but like many simple things,
it may grow and become complicated.
Constipation is the root of nine-tenths of
the sickness of men, and of large proper
ton of the sickness of women. II can be

and quickly. There is no reason save that
of carelessness why it should cause the
trouble that it does. Nature is continually

BRYAN AT POuGHKEEPSle.
A Great Crowd Followed Him Till He
Made Them a Speech.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, Aug. 17.-When
Mr.. Bryan reached Poughkeepsic to-
day about four hundred people were
at the dock to greet him. They follow
ed him up the street cheering and
shouting for speech. When he reach
ed the depot the crowd became SO in
sistent that Mr.. Bryan finally yielded
to their wishes and standing outside
the station on box said in brief:
Il am up here for a rest, and did
not expect to make a speech, but i
probably shall not see you again and
| shall take this opportunity to say
few words to you. / am very glad
to see you all. From the tone of the
New York opposition press, one would
be led to suppose that there is no sill
yer sen ntiment in this State. / am glad
to see here a refutation of that fallacy
and to notice that even the great New
York dailies cannot stifie the wishes of
the people. This is time when the
thinking people are to out number the
politicians and the corporations and
when the people will act according to
their own Judgment. 1t is to be the
greatest campaign that we young peo-
pie have ever seen and / believe it is
a great, good sign when we can, as in
this campaign, foresee independence.
We are naturally an independent peo-
pie and this is a time when that in
dependence is to be asserted"
Then Mr.. Bryan said: ''How many
men here are silver men?"
A number of men raised their hands
and he said
II want you to study up this matter
and see how many silver men you can
get for our campaign
"How are you for the working
man?" shouted a man in the crowd.
Mr.. Bryan hesitated a second and
held his index finger poised as he an
swered:
"Will you take what ! have said and
what / have done, consider it very
carefully, and then Judge as between
our cause and that of our opponents?
Candidates represent only the policies
OF their parties and it is therefore not
Tor me to tell you what is your duty.
1t is for you to study the ISSUES. and
am glad that you are doing that: and
when you find out what your duty is,
do it,"
The Bryan party made the trip by
rail from Poughkeepsie to Barrvtown
without incident Mr.; Bryan laugh
ingly admitted that he had broken his
pledge not to speak while on the trip.
but added: "The crowd was almost
tearing our clothes Off and I had to do
it as matter of self-protection."
At Startsburg there was fifty or
more people at the station and the
same thing happened at each of the
small stations. The train conductor
explained to Mr.. Bryan that the num-
bers represented about all the male
population of the place
At Barrytown Mr.. and Mrs. Perrine,
whose guests the Bryans are to be, met
them at the station.

Ii HUNG CHANGES RECEPTION
The President VIII Go to New York to
Meet the Viceroy.

Washington Aug. 17.-Arrange-
ments are being completed as fast as
possible for the reception of Lii Hung
Chang. There have been several de-
lays in arranging the program, owing
to entire lack of information concern
ing Lis visit, the most important
point now in doubt being as to whetb-
er or not the Chinese viceroy is to be
the guest of the United States.
1t is settled as far as it can be that
the President will receive the distin-
guished guest in New York Harbor
upon the Dolphin or some other naval
vessel on August 81. This programme
may be changed and later events may
render IL impracticable. The officials
in Washington are not yet fully in
formed as to the wishes of the Presi-
dent in the matter. 1t is quite certain,
however, that in case the President
should be aboard the Dolphin the other
vessels of the North Atlantic Squad
ron will be surrounding her, and the
reception made as impressive as posi-
BILE.
There has been some talk about the
reception taking place in Washington,
but the President does not wish to
come to this city during the summer,
and it is understood the viceroy does
not care to go to Gray Gables. Tt is
also stated that a guest of the nation
could not well be received at the sum-
mer home of the President and that
Mr. Cleveland much preferred going 10
New York to receiving Ii at Gray Ga
bles. 1t having been determined that
the reception should take place in New
York, the only material question to
be determined is whether the recep-
tion shall be in the city or on ship
board. Circumstances may make it
desirable to change the present plan
so as to have the reception in the city
instead of shipboard, but it is believed
a naval vessel viii be utilized for the
purpose.

Populists Want Their Head
quarters in the West.
THE COMMITTEE MEETING
Middle-of-the-Roader Will be
in the Majority.
DUBOIS is FIGHTING M'KINLEY
Congressman McMiIlin, of Tennessee,
Has Been Selected to Prepare
the Democratic Campaign
Book

Washington, August 17.--Although
Chicago has been selected as the Ma
tional headquarters of the Democratic
committee, much of the campOign work
will be done here. The branch head
quarters to be located here will work
in conjunction with the Congressional
committee. Most of the literature will
be distributed from here.
Congressman Benton McMilfin, of
Tennessee, was selected by Chairman
Jones and Senator Faulkner to pre-
pare the Democratic campaign book.
He is industriously at work on his
task and expects to have the volume
in print by the time Mr.. Bryan is
ready to give his letter of acceptance
to the public.
The question of locating a branch
headquarters west of Chicago has not
yet been finally decided upon.
Word was received to-day that Sena-
tor Dubois, one of the boiling silver
Republicans, had captured sixteen of
the twenty-one counties of Idaho in
the fight against his colleague, Senator
Shoup, who is Supporting Mckinley.
At the Republican headquarters it
was announced to-day that extracts
from Mr.. Bryan's tariff speech were
being prepared for distribution to
show his strong free trade leaning
Senator Sherman's speech of August
30,1893, explaining the ''crime of 1873"
is also being prepared as a document
for distribution.
Senator Butler, of North Carolina,
chairman of the Populist committee,
is expected tonight to meet with the
Executive committee tomorrow. Three
of the members of that committee ere
already here, Reed of Georgia; .Edger-
ton, of Nebraska, and Washburne, of
Massachusetts.
There is a possibility that the Popu-
list headquarters may be removed to
Chicago. The committee decided at St.
Louis to locate the headquarters here,
but sentiment has grown up since
then in favor of Chicago. The meeting
of the committee here tomorrow may
be quite stormy, as there is a belief
that the Watson "middle-of- -the-road-
ers' are in the majority.

Now that it has been settled that SEN

tary.
CLEVELAND, o., July 6.--As re.
suit of the numerous conferences
with leaders from all parts of the
country Chairman NJ. A. Hanna, Of
the republican national committee,
has decided upon the personnel Of
the executive committee. AS made up
now the list is as follows: Mark A.

Il. Manley, Maine; John l. Long, Flor.
ida; Henry c. Payne, Wisconsin,;
Charles G. Dawes, Illinois; w. T. Dur.
bin, Indiana; Warner Miller, New
York; w. M. Osborne, Massachusetts,,
secretary.
But before these men are officially
notified 1t may be that some changes
will be made. The final decision will
not be made until after the Chicago
convention, as the action of that body
may necessitate change in the geo.
graphical distribution of the member.
ship.
Again, some change may be neces.
STATED because of the objections of
party leaders within their respective
states, it being Hanna's settled policy
not to antagonize any faction by the
appointment of an opponent. In this
light Warner Miller's membership on
the committee is exceedingly doubtful,
and it is likely that Kerns, of St. Louis,
will get the vacancy.
There are several others to whom
this objection applies in lesser de-
gree. In Indiana war is being waged
on Durbip's selection. in Wisconsin on
Payne's, and in Illinois Dawes name is
received with some disapproval.
Another appointment likely to create
dissatisfaction is that of Gen. William
Mckinley Osborne, of Boston, as secre-
tary. The only recommendation that
Gen. Osborne has to the place is that
he is McKinley's cousin. Those op-
posed to him say that he has never dis
tinguished himself as party leader,
and has not one of the attributes of a
good secretary. 1t may be that
change will be made.

CAVE JEWELLERS.
The Haunt Of the Hat ON the Colorado
River.

The Haunt Of the hat ON the Colorado
River.
A party of hunters have just returned
to civilization after a trip along the
Colorado river. One of them, Capt
Hurd, tells of an interesting discovery
they made. One morning they rose
about daylight to take advantage Of
a long day in which to make desired
excursion. AS they passed among the
timber on the steep and rocky side Of
a canyon, they suddenly came upon Q
big dead tree, every limb of which was
literally covered with bats of varying
sizes. There were hundreds and thou
sands hanging to the wood.
But as the hunters watched curious
sight was revealed. There was hole
in the trunk of the tree, and one after
another the bats released their held
on the limbs and disappeared in it.
They moved In with great regularity
and speed, but more than an hour was
consumed before all had disappeared.
1t was evident to the interested watch.
ers that there was not room within the
tree trunk for one-tenth Of all the bats
which had entered, so they determined
to cut the tree down and discover the
secret. When the tree was felled
cave was found underneath, and in this
the thousands of bats found refuge by
day. A match dropped in the mouth OF
the cave brought the inmates out in
great uumbers.-Philade'phia Press.
