Alcester has = Mckinley club 81 IFS
members, and q Bryan club Or l75
members. So 1t Is said BY those who
seem to know.
Last Thursday m silver day for
this place. The morning broke clear
and brightand the day remained clear
throughout. The COMMITTEE who had
the exercises on hand worked hard and
faithful to make the rally 4 complete
success. they erected = large double
tent on the ball ground, which vas
capable Of holding 1900 M.ople.
Everything ~ up Ia readiness for the
eycnitg. When evening came people
from all parts Of the country and from
the neighbOring towns gathered into
town to the number Of from 1900 10
2,OO. As soon a. night closed in a
torch light procession OF about 400
torches and about q Thousand people
with banners began, and the marching
and counter marching made q beautiful
display. After marching through the
principal streets they repaired 10 the
tent where the literary program
was carried out. This consisted of
music by II band, an open prayer, n
campaign song by n male q~uartette.
music by a band, another sony, in
strumcntal music by a string band. an
Introductory speech and the principal
speech Of the evening delivered by
Judge Palmer Of Sioux Falls which
speech was continued about two hours
and was listened to with close atten-
attention by nearly everyone present.
OF course the speech suited those who
erc in favor of free silver, but those
who we're opposed were not 40 we'll
suited. A person who ia not filled with
partisan prejudice could SAY that the
rally rs a political campaign rally was
never equaled in the country. 1t is
their rally in Alcester that they will
try to eclipse it. JUsHUA.

MANS FIRST START
He Learns 10 Reason From the
Use Of His Hands.

According to Lieut.. Frank III Cush-
ing, vice president OF the anthropolog-
zeal society at Washington, the animal
form from which primitive man first
started was a species who inhabited
the forests and tress. Taking the evil
dence of savage relics and certain Pc
culiarities of mans constitution, it was
probable he was crowded out Of these
forest regions and forced to dwell or
tho seashore. The use Of his rudimen-
tary hands was developed by touch and
the handling Of objects which became
a necessity. Thus Is was that the art
of reasoning resulted from the use OF
his hands.
We have heard Of the stone age, the
bronze age, and the iron age. AS for

the present century, it might be known
as the age Of electricity. Yet there is
another name which might be given,
namely, the age Of nervousness. Nerv-
Gus weakness, sleeplessness, hysteria, is
common. Business life is made up OF
hurry and worry. shocks and excite
ments. There is q spirit Of unrest, and
no man or woman knows repOse. The
result is ~wreckage! Physicians are
prescribing hastily, and the druggists
are filling orders for nerve tOnics, nerev
s.imulants, nerve sedatives-every-
thing bat what will bring lasting bene-
fit. If such narcotics, or "nerve COM
pounds" are taken. the trouble is only
trifled with. Sober reasoning will
teach every sensible person that the
cause OF the difficulty must be mended.
A badly nOurished rvo ststem is
irritable. We usually find that poor
watery blood, although sent in large
amounts to the brain, does not proper
~ nOurish that organ, consequently we
have ~sleeplessness, hystcria, iainting
or dizzy spells and other nervous
symptoms. Nervousness is really only
another name for impure blood, for no
person is weak and nervous whose blood
ia rich and perfectly pure.
When the blnad Is full Of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red
pnscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nOurish the organs
and Tissues OF the body, what can yOu
expect but that feeling OF WEAKNESS
and nervousness? The pain IN neu-
ralgia is only '.thc cry Of starved
nerves for food" The nervous struc.
lure must he feed on pure, rich blood
IN order to vitalize and strengthen the
nerve centers. Most every pale, thin
person ia nervous tnr this reason.
DR.. f. v. Pierce, in his extensive
practice as chief consulting physician
10 the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
s~titute, ut Buffalo N. ", found that
the general increase in disease OF this
nature demanded prompt attention,
and he prescribed a certain alternative
tonic and nerve food. made up Of vege-
table extracts, which he called DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
BY purifying and enriching the blood,
thereby feeding the nerves with pure,
rich blood, DR.. Pierce found that the
suffering from v disease derived
more lnating benefit than by quieting
the nerves with opiates or, so-called,
Dervincs. A young man who falls be
low the health standard, loses color
and plumpness, 10 tired all the time

coyery. Who're the patient 10 > WOMAN,

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
1t Urges the Necessity of Reform I'm
Our Consular Service.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-The first session
of the annual meeting of the National Board
of Trade was held here to-day with the VEN
cradle Frederick Fraley, president, in the
chair. Several new trade organizations We're
admitted to membership. and the boards Of
trade of Detroit and New Orleans were
granted permission to withdraw for reasons
of a pecuniary nature. The reports of the
executive council and the treasurer were
read and approved. Hon. Frederick Fraley,
of Philadelphia, now in his ninety-third
year, was unanimously rejected president
by rising vote
In its annual report the executive council
briefly reviewed the financial conditions
which resulted in the issue of sovernmo' (
bonds to maintain the public credit. and
predicted that the pending issue would be
q decided success. The most important fea-
lures of the convention pointed out As
being reform in the consular service AMI
the great lakes and the Atlantic seaboard
and the Improvement of navigable water
ways generally; the necessity for uni
form bankruptcy law, a reform In our
question.
Committees were appointed on bankrupt
tation and reciprocal trade. To these will be
referred the resolutions submitted by the
various organizations in the board. After
the formation of the various committees
the members listened to an interesting
report of the committee on consular serv-
ice, read by it's chairman. Jonathan A.
Lane, of Boston. The efforts of the COM
mittee toward divorcing the consular serv-
ice from the spoils system were detailed
at length. In moving the acceptance of the
report, Mr.. j. B. Lesson, of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, made an elaborate
address on the subject of the consular serv-
ice. He had visited the various European
ports, and was Impressed with the necessity
for a complete reform in the service. Mr..
Lesson urged that a congressional COM
mittee be appointed for the purpose Of full
| ly investigating the consular service.

SALOON KEEPERS FINED.
Another Batch of SheIbyville Offend
ers Disposed OF.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SHELBYVILLE. Ind, Jan. S.-The
Mayors Office was crowded this morning
with spectators to listen to the trial of Os-
car Williams, charged with selling liquor
on Sunday, Jan. 5. 1t had been the fnten-
ton of the defense TO have jury but he
finally decided to abide the decision of JUS
tice Thomas Kenton. This was the case
that came so near ending in tragedy when
the mob collected to hang the spoilers"
The evidence showed that Simpson and
Weirick were introduced to Williams that
Sunday morning by Albert Duty. an expo
liceman of Indianapolis. strong effort
was made by the officers to find Duty and
serve a subpoena on him for to-day, but he
could not be found. Mr.. Williams had made
a number Of admissions in connection with
the case to outside parties, and this testi-
mony was introduced by the State to cor
roborate the detectives. Williams was
found guilty in two cases, and the fines
and costs will amount to ST. He appealed
both cases to the Circuit Court.
In the afternoon Mayor Enos found Wall
ter Lane, barkeeper for Robert Whitaker.
proprietor of the Indiana House, guilty of
selling liquor at illegal hours and fined him
500 in one case. Later the Mayor found
Herbert Springer guilty of selling liquor on
Sunday and fined him $40. In none Of these
trials for liquor violations has any evidence
been submitted by the defendants, they de-
pending on cross-examination wholly. Sew
eral other cases are to be tried tomorrow,
and 1t is believed that they will close the
present series Of prosecutions at this time.
