WILL Be SHORT AND SWEET
But Silver All the Way
Through.
NO BOOMERS NEED APPLY
Denial of the Story That AItgeId Forces Had
Settled Upon Stone and Clark How
ell as Their Ticket.

Peoria, ILL.,, June 22.-Everything Is so
thoroughly cut and dried that Secretary
of State Heinrichsen said this morning
that the entire business of the state
democratic convention would be gone
through with within two hours instead
of two days, as originally contemplated.
AS for the sound money minority it will
content itself with protest against the
silver plank, but according to the present
programme there will be no bolt. Lead
ing democrats, of whom Postmaster
Hesing of Chicago is the most conspicu-
Gus, are f1ocking in today from all over
the state to look over the field, but they
are without weight or influence, save in
exhorting the minority to keep a stiff
upper lip and not permit the Altgeld
programme to go by default.
The advance guard of the Boies boom
put in appearance early this morning in
the person of Editor Samuel E. Brewster
of Creston, Ia, and a Boies delegate to
Chicago. He will be Joined by Secretary
Walsh and other Hawke Eye state demo-
Gratis. 1t did not take Editor Brewster
very long, however, to reach the con-
clusion that there was no earthly hope
of his candidate receiving the indorse-
ment of the convention. In fact he was
plainly told that while the leaders of the
Illinois machine had nothing against
Horace Boies, yet it was not in the pro-
gramme to give even quasi indorse-
ment to any candidate. The entire Illi-
nois delegation, so Mr.. Brewster was
notified, would go to Chicago prepared
to take advantage of opportunities and
would follow the finger of Governor Alt
geld with as much fidelity as was mani
Tested by the Colorado delegation last
week towards Senator Teller. AT the
same time he was assured that there was
nothing in the story sent out from here
last night that the Altgeld brigade had
settled upon Governor Stone of Missouri
and Clark Howell of Georgia as the pres
idential ticket to be championed by the
Illinois delegation.
This story, as explained to the South
ern Associated Press this morning, grew
out ola letter received late last night by
Governor Altgeld from Governor Stone,
in which the latter urged the indorse-
ment of Mr.. Bland by the convention.
To this the reply was returned that such
course would be incxpedient, and that
no names or preferences would be men
toned in the convention.
AS to the story that Ex-Governor Boies
had lost caste with Governor Altgeld be-
cause, in a speech shortly after the Chi
sending of federal troops to that city, it
was declared to be untrue.
The silverites are now on the ground,
and they ire coming with a rush, jubilant
over the accession to their ranks of AS
semblyman O'Donnell of Bloomington.
Up to week ago he was counted with
the sound money advocates, but he ad-
mitted this morning that, governed by
the sentiment in his district, and in which

banner.

most two-thirds ma ority in the con-
v5ntion. We rely, however, on our ar
guments, and hope for 81 victory. We are
inclined to believe that we may induce
the silver men to recognize the impor-
lance of having a gold plank in the plat
form. Despite the reports that we are
discouraged, we are more strongly than
ever convinced that we have fighting
chance.
Gold men in the east are just getting
keyed up on the subject, and every day
more interest Is expressed in the situa-
ton by men of Importance. The gold
sentiment is growing stronger.
Il cannot say what will be done at AL
bany today, but in all probability the
gold plank to be adopted at Saratoga will
be formulated"

Whitney spoke is to be held at the apart

Governor Russell Will Not Enter.

Boston, June 22.-When seem today in
regard to the report that he was going
to Chicago with Ex-Secretary Whitney,
Ex-Governor Russell said: AT the re-
quest of Mr.. Whitney and others L am
going to Chicago with him to give what
ever help l can in the struggle in the
democratic party for sound money
against free silver. My own views on
the subject are well known and have
been often stated. Believing the issue to
be of the gravest Importance, not only to
the country, but to the present and flu
ture of the democratic party, | cannot re-
main inactive IL it Is thought can be of
any service in Chicago. l cannot, how
ever, go to Chicago under the least sus-
picion that am there for any personal
reasons, nor can take part in this fight
embarrassed by any personal interest in
the result. l shall therefore decline to
have my name presented to the conven-
ton as a candidate. l believe in making
the stoutest possible fight for sound mon
ey and the gold standard and shall not
give up the fight until the votes are
counted. l consider it both duty and a
privilege to take part in this struggle,
and / shall do 1t with my whole heart,
unembarrassed by any personal consider
atoms and in the earnest hope and belief
that the democratic convention will be
sound, both in its platform and it's can
didates."

Did a Goldbue Send Ont This .

Milwaukee, Wis, June 22.-The gold
men and friends of the Cleveland admin
istration appear to have captured the
Wisconsin democracy, and at the confer
ence which will assemble at the Bijou
theater tomorrow morning at IL O'Clock
the gold men will be able to run things
their own way. The silver forces of the
state are not organized and the victories
won by them in the preliminary skir-
mishes about ten days ago alarmed the
gold men and only tended to spur them
on to more vigorous efforts. Every
sound money man in the state was called
upon to make special effort to secure
the election of gold delegates, and the
result was that in some of the counties
which were thought to be bimetallic the
gold men were successful. There will
be 1853 delegates in the convention, or one
for every 500 votes cast for Cleveland in
1892.
A careful estimate prepared this MORN
ing shows that there will be, as far as
heard from, 149 gold men, 81 silver men
and 81 doubtful.
Thomas f. Frawley of Eauclaire, a
sound money man, will be temporary
chairman.

The Fairy Wedding.

1hc 1diry
The midnight hour had come,
And murmuring kept me awake;
l heard soft fairy bells ringing
Across the lovely lake,
The sweet sound kept coming nearer and
nearer,
Until heard 1t under my window,
And peeping under the shutter
L saw fairy slender.
He came and stood by the willow
While little maid so full of grace
Came towards bright yellow butter cup
To take the organist's place.
She sat on blue violet,
For this was arranged for the seat
And touching its petals softly
Made melody low and sweet.
So while she played her sweetest chords
heard the patt'ring of little feet
And the procession began to come in
Graceful and sweet.
First came q boy and girl,
Each with basket of flowers;
And the moon shone upon them
AS they passed under the pink and green
flowers.
And after six couples had come in
There came the groom and bride,
But quickly they departed
To dance on the meadow wide.
Two oak leaves were pinned together for
the hack,
And horses tiny as could be,
With coaehman and footman
All 50 little you could hardly. see.

SUCCESS AND FAILURE.
ENERGY AND PRESEVER-

Sick People are not Energetic.
People Who Lack Energy

Modern Hygiene and the Treatment of
Disease.

You feel that you lack energy for
work
You must be sick
The healthy body does not dislike
work, but likes it.
The body is generally healthy when
the sympathetic nerves are healthy.
If yon feel sick or out of sorts, there
must be something the matter with
your sympathetic nerves.
The sympathetic nerves are a set of
nerves quite distinct from the ordina-
ry nerves.
Their chief work is to keep the body
in good health; to keep the heart, the
liver. the stomach. etc, in good
working order.
When your sympathetic nerves get
sick, so does your body, and YOU suf-
fer from dyspepsia, kidney trouble,
headache, nervousness. loss of appe-
tite, loss of strength, loss of ambition,
loss of energy.
The sooner YOU get well, the better
you will be able to work. The better
YOU will succeed.
DR.. Shops Restorative is tonic
for the sympathetic nerves
1t is restorer Of health, of life and
of energy.
1t acts by strengthening and toning
up the sympathetic nerves, and those
in their turn put fresh life and energy

DIR. Shops Restorative will cure
dyspepsia. because the cause of dys-
pepsia is the sickness of the sympa-
thetic nerves.
1t will cure heart trouble, kidney

work by the sympathetic nerves
When they get out OF order. it is rea
sonable to suppose that cure of the

And it does.
For many people have tested Dr

They were cured because the prir-
ciple is sound one. Because the on
~ real cure is The cure that cures the
cause and not alone the symptoms.
Because DR. Shops Restorative will
do this.
They were cured for the same rea-
son that you can be cured if YOU will
give it conscientious trial
