"The very liberal terms of Drs. Copeland
and Shepard-$5.O a month including medi-
cnes and everything-seems all the more
remarkable from the fact that nearly all
who have ever had experience with their
system regard 1t as superior to any other.
In regard to the prompt and radical benc-
fits that came to me. for example, these
are the facts:
Il went to these physicians about three
years ago and took treatment covering a
period Of sixty days. At that time l had
been ailing for four or five years My
leading symptoms We're headache stop
page of the nostrils, dry, and parched
restless nights. l did not feel right in any
way. l was gradually losing weight. My
strength and energy were impaired and ]
always experienced heavy distress
through the breast and lungs, and had a
group of minor symptoms, all of which
forced the conviction that l was losing
ground in every way.
promptly after commencing with Drs.
Copeland and Shepard, however, my all
ments began to heal. and 1 built up in
strength and comfort right along The
debility and suffering which had marked
my condition grew less and less, until |

CHICAGO, May 2.-Hon. Franklin Mac
Veagh, the democratic candidate for United
States senator for Illinois at the last cleo
tion. joins issue with Governor Altgeld who
represents the free coinage faction. Mr..
MacVeagh issues an appeal to the demo-
cratic party of Illinois. He says: THAT
the democrats of Illinois are really for dis
honest money do not for one moment
believe. That the democrats of Chicago arc
for an honest dollar is already clear, but |
have no doubt at all that the democrats out
side OF Chicago are also for honest money,
whether In the coming convention they shall
be justly represented or not.
1T Is, however, trying hour for the
democratic party Of Illinois, and through 1t
for the democratic party of the nation
Every democrat of this pivotal state has a
grave duty to perform and that duty is both
to assert his personal independence and in
fiuence and help to defend the wisdom the
integrity and the usefulness Of his party.
The life Of his party for many years to
come, perhaps forever. hangs In the bal
ancc Chicago IL waking up; may the rest
OF the state wake up in time to save the
party.
'The action of the republican convention
at Springfield and the rapid focusing of the
republican party through the nation makes 1t
clear that the cardinal principles of the
party will be protection and honest money.

1T is said Seeing is believing | have

Omaha Business College | took a position
with Haywood Il Morrell of Chicago Some
how ! contracted disease which seemed
TO battle the efforts of the best physicians
of that city. The seat of the whole trouble
seemed to be in the stomach. Pain always
followed eating, and knew there was some
thing wrong because there is no suffering
with healthy digestion
The fact is, ] had no digestive power at
all 1 vomted after every meal. Sour
gases ana ferments seemed TO be forming
all the time in the stomach and bowels. I
seemed to be hungry, but a little food in
the stomach would hurt so | would be forced
TO stop eating. Along with this condition
We're obstinate constipation, agonizing head
aches and profound weakness
Il had to give up my pace after being re-
duced from my usual weight of 100 to 120
pounds / returned to Omaha and was ad-
yiSed to try Drs. Copeland and Shepard.
They said my disease was catarrh of tho
stomach and at once began work along that
line. | began to improve from the very
first day, and after week had no more
vomiting. To he brief, l gained in strength
and flesh right along and after one months
treatment was entirely free from every
sl mptom of dyspepsia or catarrh of the
stomach. That is why l think there Is
nothing like, anywhere near as good,
as the Copeland and Shepard trea atment"

The sleeping cars companies are happy over
the action of fl1a committee on commerce
in indefinitely .postponing the bill recently
introduced by Congressman Corliss for the
purpose of compelling the companies to re-
duce the price of berths. The travellers as
scciations and the labor organizations that
helped along with the bill are correspond
ingly detected. They are not without hope,
however, and propose to renew the fight
in the near -future. The long suit of the
sleeping car coInpsnies was in the compari-
son between AmeHcan and European sleep
ing car rates. Both the Wagner and the
Pullman companies presented tables showing
that the sleeping car rate from Paris to
Madrid, S92 miles. is s1l.S2, while from New
York to Chicago. eS11 miles, it is S5, with
the additional advantage of greater luxury
of travel on the, side of America The Sleep

nS|LVER MOON, ROLL 0N !" Gold Circle Around Old Luna
 Last Night. FINANCIAL STORM COMING But When Free Silver Man Gets Hold of the Throttle the Catastrophe
 May Be Ayerted.
 

The man in the moon was placed in a peculiar position last night. He has been known as a silver man for many years, even as long ago as the poets used to remark, Roll on, silver moon." But last night people who happened to look up toward the moon about g o'clock mo- ticed that the moon had a peculiar gold circle around it. Of course, this may pre- dict a financial storm, for when free sil- yer man gets into the gold circle he usually throws off his reserve, and it's 16 to l there's a storm. Of course, at the distance we were from the moon we could hardly be certain of colors. Some folks said the circle was red. Maybe the man in the moon was painting thing red, but as he only had quarter" he nor the moon could have been very full. Speak ing of kinds of money, it's 16 to 1 that there's not man in the country today that won't take gold, silver or currency for anything he has to sell and be tickled to get it. We're none of us as particular about what kinds of money we get as we are about how much we get of it. For Instance, the insurance companies will take silver, gold or paper, if the United States government says it's good,-for the stock of the damaged goods they are now selling at 1912 Second avenue by order of the insurance adjusters.
