Found dead
There is something so shocking about
sudden death that the mere mention of 1t
wrenches the nerves of sensitive people.
Millions of people play for deliverance from
1t. Every Sunday in every Episcopal church
in the world these words are said
Prom battle, and murder and sudden DEATH.
Good Lord, deliver us"
lust why sudden death should be shock
ing, and death after lingering disease easy
to bear, would puzzle any one to tell. It
would seem that il would be more terrible
to see some loved one wasting away, daily
becoming weaker-daily slipping toward a
death no less certain because it was slow IN
coming. Consumption causes more deaths
than heart disease more than cholera
more than yellow fever more than any
other disease the world has ever known.
And yet people are careless about it. man
in danger of sudden death from heart dis
ease can avoid the danger simply by keeping
quiet and avoiding excitement. Consump-
ton goes right on with its deadly work, no
matter what the man does or how he con-
ducts himself if he doesn't take the right
medicine to cure it. Consumption affects
the whole body. 1t is blood disease. 1t
permeates the whole system. 1t shows in
the lungs because the blood goes to the
lungs for publication. 1t carries impurities

TIME WILL TELL.
Secretary Mercer Says PopuIists Will
Vote Against Mr.. Bryan
On Account OF His Free Trade ProcIyties
Democratic Idle Talk.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Chauncey F.
Black ana Mr.. Kerr, ex-clerk Of the
House Of Representatives, both distn-
guiShed Democrats of PENNSYLVANIA
were, today. claiming that the Demo-
Gratis would have at least eight Con
greSSional districts in that state after
the next election. instead of the two
now represented by Democrats. Both
these gentlemen assert that the growth
of the free silver sentiment is some
thing unprecedented and all the min
ing section of the state will give sup
port to the Democratic ticket hitherto
unheard Of in the history of politics of
Pennsylvania.
Representative Mercer. secretary of
the Republican Congressional cam
paign committee, today, said: You
would probably not believe it unless
you understood the Populists of Ne
hraska as | do. The fact is a very
vigorous fight is being waged against
Mr. Bryan by the Populsts on the pro-
lection question alone. \ great many
letters have reached here appealing for
protective tariff literature. Many of
these letters come from Populists
whom | know, and they are all oppos-
ing Bryan on account Of his free trade
procliVitics The people Of Nebraska
believe in protection, and | believe
that issue will become dominant before
long. Every day sees the silver craze
growing less and less brilliant in the
West"
4 prominent Democratic leader who
attended the convention at Chicago
told an interesting story, today, illus
trative Of the character of Mr. Byran.
ON the night when the nominating
speeches We're concluded there was a
hurried consultation of friends of Mr.
Bland and the determination was
reached that the motion to adjourn
should be carried. as it was apparent
that the nomination of Mr. Byran was
almost certain, and adjournment was
deemed essential in order to gather the
somewhat scattered forces together.
a personal friend of Mr. Byran
urged him 10 use his influence to pre-
vent this action, assuring him that if
he did SO. his nomination would be Sc
cured that night
No said Mr.. Byran If what we
may he able to do tonight will not wait
until tomorrow il We're better for the
country it should not be done at all
Let us sleep over it and let the conven-
ton act tomorrow in calmness that
comes after night of rest
