THE DEMOCRATS
Gathering at Washington to Decide
ON Place of Convention.
Race Has Narrowed Down TO st. Louis. Chi.
cago and New York.

Washington, Jan. 1.-the situation,
36 hours before the Democratic national
committee meets, is environed with uncer-
tainties, although the contest for the place
OF the convention has narrowed down tC
st. Louis, Chicago and New York, with
the question of free silver as a potent
factor In the fight.
The Western men are bitterly opposed
to New York. St Louis would suit many
of these gentlemen. The others will
gladly go to Chicago Anything but
Wall street with its gold bug influences. -
is the slogan of the extreme free silver
men.
Only few members of the national
committee have arrived. The sub-com
mittee of the national committee, consist
ing Of Messrs. Harrity of Pennsylvania.

To combat this growing evil. Prof. Ed
ward f. Phelps, n. D., LII. D., of Dart
mouth college, made nervous diseases his
special study. The fruitful outcome of
his long years of professional ipvestiga-
tion was Paine's celery compound. Diff
cult nervous disorders that had persisted
despite long treatment at once yielded to
it. Men and women who had suffered for
years from broken and unfreshipg sleep,
from headaches, rheumatism and neural
gia found that Paine's celery compound
not only speedily cured these troubles,
but that they worked better and felt more
encouraged than had been possible to
them for years.
As a practical instance of what this re-
markable remedy is doing all over the
country, the following from Rev. Dr.
Vim. a. Smith, one of the best known
divines in Southern New England, de-
serves careful reading. DR.. Smith is to-
day Sc years of age, yet enjoys better
health than ever IN his life, and never
loses a single good nights sleep. He
writes
Groton, Conn.
dear Sirs-In my early days, by great
and prolonged mental suffering, I broke
down in health and became a dyspeptic,
being obliged at one time to give up my
work in the ministry on account of i'll
health. am now Sc years Of age, and
during my long life have suffered greatly
from dyspepsia, torpid liver, constipation
and insomnia, at times thinking that
should die for want of balmy sleep, and
it is n wonder to me that am alive today
with all that have been through. am
a wonder to myself, and to those who
witness my habits and know my age. I
tell them that l try to obey the laws Of
nature, and that take Paines celery
compound whenever l need it.
BY the use of several bottles of Paine's
celery compound, l bave so far recovered
health as to consider myself q well man
for my age. 1t regulates the liver,
stomach and bowels without any ques-
ton My appetite is now good, my sleep
is refreshing, my liver active, and bowels
regular and my crutches not needed, Us
can walk without staff. People are sur
priscd at my improved appearance and
activity. Gratefully yours,
Vim. A. Smith.
Paine's celery compound does not stop
its restoring work till new, healthy tissues
have taken the place of the old, shattered
portions. There is not the deepest, most
minute portion Of the body, whether it be
nerve or brain, or some vital organ, that
escapes the rejuvenating strengthening
power of Patne's C lery compound In
cases of severe neuralgia, rheumatism,
heart palnisations, dyspepsia and nervous
fcebleness, PaiDe's celery compound is the
only remedy that goes to the root OF the
trouble, tortifics tie weakened system
against these disorders and builds up
strong, healthy body.

SLEEP TONIGHT
Stop Insomnia Before It
Becomes a Habit.
Neglected, STABILITY Treated
Nerves the Cause.
Rev. DR.. Smith at Age of Sc
Loses No More Sleep.
Unbroken Rest Natural to a Fully
Nourished Brain.
Paine's Celery Compound Has Never Failed
10 Cure
Paine's Celery Compound Has Never Failed
to Cure.

From childhood to old age health is
very much a matter of sound, refreshing
sleep.
No one can digest well, work well, feel
well, or be well, who is night after night
deprived of good sleep 1t is physically
impossible for any brain to keep on pro-
viding nervous energy unless the nights
are devoted to nuurishing its used.up
parts. Protracted sleeplessncss, where no
effort is made to feed and calm the irrit-
able nervous system, ends in nervous
prostration and insanity.
Today there are far more neuralgia
headaches, far more rheumatism sleep
lessness and nervous prostration than
during the last generation.

Cummings, Dem, of New York, made

caused Union soldiers and widows to
shiver with the apprehension that they
would be stabbed in the back by the
bureau, where they should receive only
cncomiums and support, For the last two
and half years, he declared, the pension
bureau bad been emphatically uojust to
the pension claims Of old soldiers

LIVESTOCK
The Quarantine a Sub
ject Of Discussion.
WILL WORK A GREAT HARDSHIP
ON CATTLE RAisERs IN THE
PANHANDLE.

Livestock Topics.
CAN IT Be RAISED?
AN EFFORT TO THIS END WILL DE
MADE.

The quarantine against the cattle OF
Texas. Mississippi. Louisiana, Indian
Territory and most of Arkansas, which
went into effect last Saturday is caus-
Ing considerable discussion Just at this
time among cattlemen. Pregnant COWS
can no longer be sold as springers in
any market north of the line. and any
shipment Of this kind will result In loss.
They can neither be sold to be slaught-
cred or taken to the dairy and must
be taken back to the quarantine dis
trict. Other cattle from below the line
may be shipped for slaughter. but they
must Immediately be reshipped to the
district from which they came.
This arrangement is calculated TO
work great hardship on Texas cattle
raisers, especially those of the Pam
handle, who have not heretofore been
subjected to quarantine regulations.
The people of this district have no other
Industry except that Of cattle raising.
and many Of them have obligations 10
meet. If they cannot sell they cannot
meet these obligations In many cases.
whereby they will be forced into bank
ruptcy.
1t Is a matter OF fact that the people
of the Panhandle are above the infect
ed district and there is no reason why
the line should be extended over them.
The altitude is as high and free from
fever as many parts of Colorado. and
other points north of the line. 1t has
been the custom all along to ship cat
tie from the Panhandle and other
northern Texas counties to Montana.
Wyoming. and other states OF the
Northwest for maturing. and TO cut OFF
these sales will amount almost to u life
and death matter with these people.
II is believed that when these facts
are properly presented to Secretary
Morton by a committee which will be
selected for this purpose, that the mat
ter can be satisfactorily adjusted. Be-
cause the line was abused
when further south, on some
former occasions does not argue that
1t cannot be maintained, and when
assurance is given by the governor Vt
Texas that the lines will be protected
when reinstated, many are OF the opin-
lon that Secretay Morton Will accede
to the petition OF the committee.
The recent proclamation by Governor
Mcintyre OF Colorado Is entirely COW
cred by the Federal regulations and
has no effect whatever except to APP
pear that he holds some ungenerous
feelings toward Texas cattle raisers.
But Colorado is not much of shipping
point for Texas cattle, and his action
will damage the railroads of his state
more than the Texas cattle Industry.

WILL APPEAL THE CASE.
The Commission WIN Fight the RE-
cent Compress Decision.

The Texas railroad commissioners
nave issued circular relative to the
decision of the state district court en-
joining the commission from enforcing
It's cotton compress rules and regula-
tons In the case of the Houston and
Texas Central railroad. The commits
sion says: 1--WE do not agree with tho
learned judge who decided the case,
and shall prosecute an appeal from
his judgment; but believing that the
commission rules and regulations are
valid and enforceable, we must insist
upon the observance of them by all of
the railroad companies in Texas which
were not parties to the suit mention
ed, and In case they are sustained by
the court of last resort We shall In
stltute proceedings for the recovery
of pc 1alties In all cases OF violation OF
said rules and regulations"
From this II win be seen that the de-
cisioa CT Judge Morris Is to be fought
TO the court of last resort. Railway peo-
pie. however, express much satisfaction
at the fact that the decision In their
favor In the lower court was rendered
by state court instead OF Federal
court.
