When the stomach and bowels are wrong
what seems mere triilc, blocks the
whole system. Every part of the BODY
feels the effects Of a little CONSTIPATION.
The head aches, the mouth tastes bad:
the stomach is distressed, the liver is con.
gested and torpid; you feel sluggish and
miserable and down-hearted; the energies
are completely raralyzed-all for want of
little help TO regulate the stomach and
bowels. What you want is DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They will make YOU
regular and you keep so; they act in a
comfortable natural way, not violently but
surely. They give the intestincs power
to move naturally; and also tone the
stomach and liver. You don't become a
slave TO their use, they cure you so Won
stay cured. If 4 druggist makes more
money on some violent purgng pill he
may try to sell il TO you. Don't let him.
You will be helped to thorough understand.

tions the fullest consideration during
the night and had the counsel OF the
best thought OF the party, not only in
deciding on their principles, but also, in
the forms for expressing the same. After
the report was submitted with this ex-
preston, II was decided to take it up ad
seriatim for consideration. The whereas
in which the history and mission of the
party were covered, was adopted with
out opposition. Then came the pream-
BILE In which the indictment of Presi-
dent Cleveland's administration was
most strongly expressed. There was some
difference OF opinion as to severity of the
language in this indictment, but Senator
Foraker defended 1t very earnestly and it
was adopted without any change. The
plank on the tariff was adopted as re-
ported, including the reciprocity clause,
and there was no disposition to alter the
language in any of the sections until the
sugar bounty question was reached.
There was some objection TO the form
OF this resolution and some briefsspeeches
were made in support OF various PROPOSE
tions. One OF these was to amend the res
olution by declaring for o specific duty
on sugar, and another for q specific
declaration for tariff protection. None
OF these were accepted, and the resolu-
tion as reported, and IS cent out last by
The Associated Press, was adopted.
The committee also adopted resolutions
declaring specifically for the adequate
protection OF wool and woolens, and still
another for the encouragement VI Ameri-
can shipping.
Senator Teller opened the discussion on
the finacial plank by Offering the various
substitutes which he had presented in
the subcommittee and made a speech in
su ucport of them.

in. support of his resolutions, becoming

course of his remarks. He had scacrely
begun when the members .of the press
who lined the hall outside the room in
which the committee was meeting, were
inclied TO more distant section OF the
hotel. The excuse was made that he
ommitte he wanted the use OF the hallway
for air. but the tact that the Colorado
Senator's voice penetrated the wall and
was plainly heard on the outside, was ac-
cepted as the real reason for the eviction
OF the press.

Headquarters Rhod. Island Delegation,
IS. Loui June H.
Some one back home must have had
Mysteries.
In Mondays mail q typewriter COM
munication was received at headquarters
announcing that ave shall wire you on
Monday, the 18th inst, petition con-
corning the sound money question.
:. While the mum Der OF signatures is
not large, the interests are immense.
"Could we have taken more time we
could have obtained the signatures of
nineteen-twentieths OF the community"
The notiicat ion and the petition that fol-
lowed by wire were all well enough, for
general distribution, alt hough from con-
siderable portion OF the signatures and
from the tone of the communication IL Is
suspected that many OF the petitioners
are under the delusion that the business
paralysis that has been suffered since tie
Cleveland administratIon.tookh hold of the
government Is somehow to be charged TO
the currency instead OF the Wilson. Cor.
man tariff bill.
But so far as the Rhode Island Repub-
lican delegation here at ST. Louis is con-
cerned, this octette stands on the plat
form adopted 10y the Republican conven-
tion al the request of the Providence
Board OF Trade, and to urge them to
stand firm for sound money is about as
necessary as TO ask man from Canton,
Ohio, to vote for William Mckinley as a
favorite son on the first ballot. The dele
CATION from Rhode Island has no objec-
tion to being urged on to having the
backing Of all the local support available
for their position on the currency ques-
tion. But they don't feel fattered at the
indication that anybody back East may
be fearful that just because they happen
to be lar removed from the solicitous
home influences represented in
this petition they will thereby
lapse into condition Of min;
is not Nevada, and this being a Repub-
lican convention, the overwhelming pre-
ponaeraDce OF sentiment Is akin TO that
held In Rhode Jsland-on the currency
question ns on every other important
question. The Rhode Island delegates
are, indeed, but little strangers far from
home, but there are number OF kind
hearted reoplc out here TO watch over
them and protect them, and soc that they
are not led astray by the naughty men
from Colorado and ldeho and Montana
with their silver tongues.
That the petitioners, however, may have
been in doubt as TO what sort Of con-
vontion IL is that Is being held out here,
is suggested by the fact that two OF the
souna money notifications came to the
Rhode Island headquarters. Both were
typewritten, and signed "F. Il. Little,
Secretary" But one of them was ad-
dressed as follows:
"To the Chairman OF tho
"Khode Island Democratic Delegation,
"St. Louis
"Mo."
This naturally robbed -commnnica-
tion of some OF the reverence that the in
terests represented in IL are entitled TO.
Even delegates are human and their
simple naturep are marked by child like
seusitivsness.
There IL no Democratic delegation out
here IRON Rhode Island or anywhere else,
nor will there be. The Democratic dele
cations will be found ut Chicago ON or
about July next, when these documents

HORSES RAN AWAY.
Perry and Mason We're Thrown From the
Cart During a Mad Run.

Joseph Perry, 10 years old, lives at 1E
Tuxedo ave., and George Il. Mason, about
the same age, who resides on Eddy street,
narrowly escaped being killed by rum
away horses this noon. The men are en-
ployed by Frank Slavin and were at work
on the Burnside bridge. At dinner time
ey removed the brioles from the horses
for the purpose of feeding, and then the
men got into the cart..to eat their mid
day meal. They had hardly taken their
seats when the horses became frightened
by the blowing of whistle on one of the
hosting engines near the bridge, and
they started on the run. They dashed
from Exchange place through Washing
ton row, up Westminster street to the
front OF the Arcade. In turning the cor
ner at Washington row the men were in
some way thrown over the front end CT
the cart, cne OF the wheels passing over
Porry's shoulder, while one of the horses
stepped on Mason's breast. They were
taken into the fire station, and the am
bulance from tho Rhode Island Hospital
was called. At that institution Mason is
thought TO be injured internally. Perry
was taken TO his home.
