Important Points About ''Purifne," the
Great DiSinfGCtant

In these enlightened days of the nine
teenth century it is an acknowledged
fact that ian ounce of prevention Is
worth pound of cure" and that ounce
of prevention was never better eXempli-
fed than in the use of the great dlsin-
fectant known as ''Purifine." The public
has had many disinfectants brought to
their attention. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply lndlt-
ferent, but none ever yet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of ''Purifine." In the first place
il was left to the manufacturers Of
"Purifine" to compound disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter, las users CT disin-
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant. especially when in constant
use. becomes sick';ning and disagreeable,
ofteptimes as much 80 rs the odor or
smell to be killed.
In n word, "Purifine" is odorless, and
is work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there IL not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In tine bath
room, sleeping room or ABOUT the house
generally II is Indispensable.
Then again it is non-poisonnus, an all
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results. and it is absolutely safe
to have around the house.
AS sample of its harmlessness it can
even be used in in refrigerators, and, If
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
it is particularly adapted for this use
The uses for which "Purifine' is used are
almost limitless, and to enumerate them
would fill pages of Tie Post. For flush
ing sewers, and for cleansing sinks,
drains, barns, urinals, water closets,
floor cloths and the bed clothes from
ickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price ia 30 low that il
can be used lavishly, and for hospitals,
asylums, public buildings. hotels, restau-
rants, school rooms, laundries. diaries,
markets, stables, packing houses and
canneries where a disinfectant is used in
large quantities, this Is a point TO be
considered. One gallon is used TO bar
rel of water, and for general use one
tablespoonful to pint of water.
"Purifine" is sure preventive against
cholera, Ia grippe, small pox, diphtheria,
all fevers and Contagious diseases.
As an antiseptic and healer "Purifine"
is invaluble, for it relieves and cures
sore throat, oatarrh, slings and bites OF
insects, burns and scalds, chilblains, sore
eyes, pimples, and for the bath it is a
delightful adjunct, 1t will instantly
stop any flow of blood, and physicians

Convention Hall, Chicago, July 10.-The
fourth days session OF the democratic na-
tional convention opened in torrid heat,
untempered by any of the cooling breezes
which had hitherto favored the gathering.
1t was. Of course, idle to expect that az

morning, riding nine miles home in over

A TALK WITH THE NOMINEE.
He VIII Not Stand for Recollection if
He Wins in November.

Chicago, July 10.-William Jennings
Bryan, the nominee Of to-days conven-
ton, heard the news at his rooms in the
Clifton house and received it without
any apparent show of feeling His wife
was not present to greet him. for she wit
messed the extraordinary demonstrations
in the hall that stampeded the convention
to the standard of her husband Together
with few friends Mr. Bryan received
bulletins that told him of every move
in the political game being played at the
Coliseum. At this distance, unmoved by
the stirring scenes enacted on the floor
OF the convention, Mr. Bryan was able
TO analyze the situation and figure out
the victory that appeared to be within his
grasp a an early hour this morning.
A party Of newspaper men were the
first to congratulate him after the recep-
ton OF the bulletin announcing his nomi-
nation. As the men gathered about him
to shake hands Mr.. Bryan reached for
a piece OF paper and, standing at a marble
topped bureau, wrote the following which
he said was intended for the American
people: In order that | may have no
ambition but to dis harge faithfully the du-
ties of the Office, / desire to announce
that If elected 1 shall, under no circum-
stances, be a candidate for reelection"
After inditing the declaration Mr. Bryan
accepted the congratulations that were
rendered and in a few minutes il was ap-

shook hands with the crowds as they
passed in line.
1t was crowding. jostling assembIage
but good natured. There were few cries
for speech by the nominee and Mr.. Bryan
was forced to say a few words He de-
clared that he felt himself highly honored
by the convention, but asserted that no
words of his could add to the work of the
convention. The convention, however. was
but the beginning, and whether It's action
was wise or not could only be determined
say whether the convention had acted
wisely, but 1t was his duty and that Of All
those who agreed with him to back the
convention, indorse the platform and
make the election sure. Mr.. Bryan closed
his short but felicitous speech with the
injunction to those present who believed
in the democratic party to make It their
business to see that its success was assur-
ed this fall
Without receiving all those that kent

can majority into a democratic plurality

Before the election of 1891 Mr.. Bryan re-
fused denomination as congressman and
States Senate. He was nominated by the
state democratic convention. Two joint
debates at Lincoln and at Omaha respec-
lively, with John NJ. Thurston, the repub-
lican candidate for the senatorship, at
tracted much attention. The legislature
was, however republican, and Thurston
was elected.
During the past two years, and espec-
tally since his defeat for the Senate, Mr..
Bryan has been lecturing on financial top
les in every state in the union
Mr.. Bryan married in 1884 Miss Mary

considerable influence.

the east and west will unite in call for
another to put out their own candidates.
1t is expected by the men who brought
about the nomination of Bryan to-day
that he win be endorsed by the populist
convention. In other words, he is re-
garded by this faction as the legatee of
the Teller boom. and as such will receive
that vote. He is as radical a free silver
man as Teller, or any other populist or
political orphan in the country. and when
all the facts come out, it will, no doubt.
be found that this hope of drawing in the
populists was largely responsible for the
willingness Of the convention to be stam-
peded.
The scene IN the convention when the
Nebraskan was nominated to-day was not
like the spontaneous wave Of enthusiasm
that swept the great hall yesterday when
he stampeded the convention by his
speech. It was noisy enough, but it was
only the dregs of oration influences that
remained to inspire, and then there was
some natural resentment on the part OF

clare that Mckinley will have walk

as to predict that the Bryan ticket will

The news of the nomination reached
here a few minutes before o'clock. All
day the crowds had been lingering around
the bulletin boards. watching the returns.
1t was generally supposed that the Bryan
boom, which apparently had the breath
of life breathed into it yesterday, was but
a passing sentiment that would languish
and die after a few hours exposure. His
name was never seriously considered here
in connection with the nomination. Up
to date the original Bryan man in Wash
ington is a newspaper man, who, after
hearing Of the performance of the boy
orator of the Platte" remarked IN Jok
ing manner that the nominee of the con-
vention would be Bryan. He added that
Bryan's speech and that of George Fred
Williams suggested a ticket composed of
Bryan and Williams, to be known as the
Kindergarten ticket"
The uncertainty that hung over the
convention up to the third ballot was
shared by the watchers at the bulletin
boards here. It was Justice Harlan of
the supreme court, who delivered an un-
official opinion that Bryan would be NOM
mated on the fifth ballot. The judge.
who held that income tax was constitu-
tional was in the crowd in front OF one
Of the local newspapers offices, following
the returns from the convention.
At the beginning of the third ballot,
Judge Harlan, who was standing near
Hon. William r. Morrison, who, for a
short time was regarded as a presidential
possibility. remarked that all the indlca-
tions pointed to the nomination of Bryan.
Col Morrison entered a different opin-
ion and predicted that Bland and Bryan
would kill each other off and leave the
field open for dark horse.
While these two distinguished men
were thus speculating in futures, the
returns from the fifth ballot commenced
to come in. When It was announced that
Illinois had retired for consultation, and
soon afterward that Kentucky had gone

Morrison, there was Senator Gibson Of

that a ticket headed by Senator Teller

It was impossible to obtain an express

ton. Postmaster General Wilson is ac-
