probable that the rooms in Wormlie's,

The executive committee will listen
to no propositions looking to the with
drawal of Watson from the ticket.
Butler said If Sewall had stood for
what Bryan does before the party,
neither holding the populist party or.
ganized together or anything else
would bave prevented the nomination
of the whole democratic ticket by the
populists. Sewall did not represent
the populists, he says, and under no
circumstances viii they consent to

stands better chance of being the
next .vice-presidentt than Sewall. But
Ter says he has oeen 30 busy with the

letter to George P. Garrison, of Chad

silver and fusion between the demo.
Gratis and populists. Debs says:
"Without the support of the popu-
lists the democratic party could not
win. Sewall can we'll afford to step
aside to effect union of the two great
forces and insure the election of the
peoples candidates. There Is q vast
difference between Bryan and the

Ar 8 recent meeting of the World's Congress of Medico- Clinstology, phy- eician from San Antonio, Tex. read a paper which demonstrated that San An tonic is a city remarkably free from dis eases peculiar to childhood, and conse- quently a paradise for children. The principal reasons assigned are that San Antonio possesses a wonderfully mild climate, which enables the children to spend ths greater portion of the year out of doors. Without desiring, in any measure, to disparage the claims of the Texan city, We rise to remark. that Arl- zona does not confine the advantages named to any one city within her bord- CTS, but csn boast of most desirable eli matic features for every nook and cor ner of her domain. Her children and grown people sre all remarkably healthy. and she has both the climate and the willingness to take the sick of other less favored sections in her arms, and nurse them back to vigorous life. Through out Southern Arizona, there is not day In the year that children cannot, with perfect safety, run barefooted.

Disastrous Failure.

Financial convulsiuns which disturb the equilibrium of the business world are productive of far less mischief than the failure of the kidneys to perform the office assigned to them by nature. When these organs become inactive the circu- istion acquires impurities which bring on dropsy, disbetee, Bright's disease, gravel, catarrh of the 5laoder, and oth- CT maledles. To impart to the kidneys and bladder a healthful impetus, very different from the excitement produced by an unmedicated alcoholic stim nlant, use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the fin- est diuretic in existence. This excellent remedy, for inactivity of the kidneys is slso of the greatest service in malarial, dyspeptic, bilious and rheumatic troub- les, and has rec wed the unqualified sanction of eminent physicians The nervous, the elderly and intirm and con- valsscsnts derive unspeaksble benefit from its pse. Use it with persistence and gt fixed intervals, aud anticipate with confidence the happiest results.

CLOUDS DRAW NIGH.

Ii is 8 dark day for the political bosses. They are now convinced that the nomination of Mckinley means their utter and everlasting defeat. This IS the plain and only reason for the des- paration they display in their opposition to the popelGr movement which has for it's object McKinley's nomination ard election. But the bosses are hoping against hope, and the more determined their struggle, the stronger runs thls impstuous current, and the more certain is It to sweep everything before 1t to victory.
 Tns impudent selt-assertion of these petty politicians is becoming more con temptibie and impotent every day. Theee would-be president-makere have so aroused public resentment by their insoleDce and arrogance that they have lost their tyrsnnous grip ou their owD states. Having justly forfeited all re- spect in their hone communities, It seems passing strange that their efforts to intrude in the affairs of ether states, aud to even em mbarrsss and frustrate the honest expression of populsr opinion 10 the republican national convent ton, should be treated with other than in- dignant scorn and whitening contempt.
 l. is we'll known that these selfish ir- triguers have never had any influence in national politics, except by methods that brand them as the werst enemies of the party which they profess to serve. Their success always means the defeat of the people. The people know this, and now that they are fully awake to the peril of the situation, and 10 the im- portance of the approaching contest to the best interests of the entire country and to d. classes of citizens, they resent the presence and activity of these polit- Ical scsvenGers as party disgrace Gnd national scandal.
 Down with the bcsses This should be the motto of the movement now ID progress throughout the country for purer politics. The election Of Mckinley means the defeat of the bosses.

A newspaper reporter is largely de- pendent upon the people of the com munity for information concerning cur rent events. lie cannot manufacture local news out of the whole cloth. He can only gather and present such items as come under hIs own observation, or such az are furnished him by cCmmunl- cetiye and accommodating people. +, as the habit of some people is, news is withheld from him, either because Of thoughtIessness, indifference or proper appreciation of what ia due the repres- entative of a reputable journal, he cer- teinly cannot be blamed for not recording 1t. There are enough local happenings even in 8 small town, almost every day, 10 make one, two or three columns of readable and interesting gossip, If those who are posted would take trouble to make them known, and. by this, ws do not mean scandal. No decent paper cares particularly for such news, but Legitimate news. Many occurrences strike some people as too trivial to re- peat to a reporter. That, however, Ie 6 mistake; anything that would, moment sriIy, arrest the attention of an average citizen is worthy a place in the local columns of newspaper. And, 1T for no other reason than to keep ones neigh bors posted in what is going CD about them. every day, people should avail themselves Cf the opportunity to give the newsgatherer the ''heeting item," and take some little pains to see him, and, at least. not compel them to suction plmp news out of him.

Indigestion is often taken for con- sumption. The word consumption means wasting away, and dyspeptics often waste away as badly as consump- tives.
 The reason people waste away Is be- cause either they don't get enough to eat, or they dor't digest what they do eat.
 If the latter is your trouble, take Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will help you to digest your food and stop your loss of flesh.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from herbs, barks and the juices of fruit, by the well known Shakers of Mount Le- bsnOn. It possesses great tonic and digestive powers.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many supposed consumptives (gho were really dyspeptics), by simply helping their stomschs to digest their food, thus giving them nourishmert and new strength.
