Senator Butler, of North Caroll-
pa, is rather severe on the Demo-
cratic party. In a recent issue OF
his paper be says editorially:
"SpesRing now for the peoples
party of North Carolina, and we be.
iieve for the nation, we take the
liberty of serving notice on Mr..
Bryan that if he desires to baye the
reform forces of the peoples party
in the next fight, he must do so
under some other name than that
of Democrat The name has be-
come a stencil among the people
and 1t will not be supported any
more, now nor hereafter. In the
campaign just closed the peoples
party joined forces with the Demo-
Gratis, and the Democrats again
played the people false, grossly
and brutally false.
1--WE are done with them now and
forever, and also with any man who
seeks to lead the people hereafter
under any standard that may bear
the name or have the smlrch OF
the word Democrat on 1t.
Butler is a champion kicker, and
is entitled to the honor OF being
transmogrifed into mule.
In referring to Senator Butler,
our regular Washington correspon'

How to Cure Headache.

The latest "cure" for the relief of a
headache is n hair cut. A London ply
stefan has met with great success in
this treatment. It is not necessary that
the hair should be cropped off short
The curative property of the treat
ment is based on the fact that the tube
which is contained in each single hair
is severed in the process and the brain
"bleeds," as the BARRIERS say, thereby
opening a safety valve for the congested
Uranium.
Try the cure when next attacked
by headache, and if the result be not
satisfactory, rest assured that it is not
the fault of the prescription, but that
the head is so wooden that it wooden Z

This Unpleasant Feature of an Ocean voy-
age Obviated by Bromide.
The new American remedy is called
Disqualification. /" This is a condition,
not a theory. Bromidization must DO
begun several days before sailing, con-
tinued several days after, and sometimes
through the voyage. In this case it de-
fies both wind and weather.
Bromide Of sodium is preferred for
the purpose to bromide of potassium,
because of the sodium being milder and
more acceptable to the stomach. A reli-
able physician, who has used the bro
mides extensively in his practice for
years, asserts that the quantity neces
sary to ward off an attack of seasicl1ness
is not in the least harmful.
Few adults viii experience the slight
est Inconvenience from a 80 grain dose
Of the bromide of sodium three times a
day.
The symptoms of bromidization, when
taken in sufficient quantities to prevent
seasicliness, are slight drowsiness and
heaviness of the limbs. The drowsy
feeling quickly wears off when the mind
becomes interested, and the languor Of
the limbs is merely a slight sensation Of
stiffness if the patient should rise alb
ruptly from a sitting to a standing posi-
ton. 1t is pleasant to know also that
this bromidization does not interfere
with the subjects relish for food.
Seasickness does not come primarily
from the stomach. The nausea and
vomiting are dependent upon func-
tional disturbance of the central nervous
system, and upon this theory is based
the use of the bromides. Any method
that will serve to obtund the sensorium,
render it anesthetic and unsusceptible
to slight molecular changes, is rational
method for preventing seasickness. II
the bromide of sodium is taken regularly.
in time and in proper proportions, in
nearly every instance the voyager will
be exempt from sickness, but the pros.
pective voyager should by all means
consult physician as to the proportions
to be taken i'll his or her individual case.

POLICE COURT MATTERS.
Novel Defense Made in an Opium
Smoking Case.

Novel Defense Made in an opium
Smoking Case.
In the District Court this morn
ing Judge Wilcox started in with
the case Of CIV .Keaw eamahi, who
was charged with battering All
Choy, a wholesale dealer in cigars
onFort street.AhChoy testified that
the defendant bargained for three
cigars fort cents, but that when
he handed out the box he grabbed
four of them. Upon demonstrating
with the defendant he was struck
and had his hair pulled. The de-
PENDANT testified that after securing
the money the Chinaman attempt
ed to palm off an inferior brand of
cigars on him and when he OBJ
iected the Chinaman picked up n
piece of iron and hit him over the
head with it, and what is more he
showed the cut made at the time.
The testimony being diametrical-
ly opposed the Judge was obliged
to turn the X rays on the defend
ant, the result showing he had no
guile in him. He was thereupon
discharged from custody.
The cases of All Hoy for pro-
family and Kauhi for malicious
injury were nolle pros.'d.
The trial of Lee Kok and two
other Chinese whose capture in
an almost impregnable fortress
by Officers Fernandes and Sea
was detailed at length at the time
was next in order. Mr.. Lee Kok
presented a medical certificate
from DR.. j. S. McGrew to the
effect that he was confirmed
opium smoker and that it was alb.
solutely necessary for him to have
it. On this showing the Court
entertained plea of guilty with
the understanding that sentence
would be suspended for thirty
days during which he was TO
leave the country. The case
against the other two was then
dismissed.
Chun Kok for similar offense
was fined $50 and costs.
At the personal request Of at
torney Vivas who represented
him, G. Pereira was reprimanded
by the Court for using threaten
ing language to another.
Six Chinese who kicked up a
row on the street between l and
2 o'clock this morning were fined
81 each and costs.
The charge of malicious injury
and mischief on which Kaahuna
was arrested was dismissed.
