The doctors diagnosed my case as cancer
of the stomach, and during the past two
years l had been operated upon several
times. and had spent hundreds of dollars
without being relieved of my sufferings
Il passed nights of sleeplessnes and
torture and days of agoniZing pain. l
had frequent fits Of vomiting, and was
often unable to retain even glass OF

without hope. when q friend asked me
to try Puritana. saying: 1t cannot hurt

THE P0PULISIS CAUSE.
They Still Have Hopes Of Carrying Some States
Opposition to Sewall.

Washington. Sept G.--Senator Butler,
The chairman Of tho Populist national
committee, has returned 10 the city
from n visit to Georgia, for a confer
ence with Thomas T.. Watson. the Popu-
list dandidate for Vice President.
MY conference with Mr. Watson. 80
said Chairman Butler to me. was for
the purpose Of having a general dis
cussion Of the political campaign, and
to complete many details which natur-
ally could not be satisfactorily handled
through correspondence. / found Mr.
Watson sanguine of success for the ma
tionaI ticket. and preparing to 80 into
the campaign with vigor. He leaves
soon for a short campaigning tour
through Texas, Kansas and Nebraska.
his trip being shortened 10y the ncces-
sity If returning To Georgia to take part
in the state campaign, which closes
october l.
Alr Watson does not share the Vice
Presidential nomination with MI.
Scwan As far as Ne is concerned Mr.
Watson has no more connection With
Mn SoWall's candidacy than he has
with Mr. Hobart's. The ticket of Air
Watsun's party is Bryan and Watson.
Nj Sc,valI is not on that ticket. ana
his name is not recognized by it. We
are just as much opposed to Mr.. SewaIl
as we are 70 Ar. Hobart. because one
is just rs Objectionable to our political
creed as the other.
Mr Bryan was nominated by the
populiSts because he represents our
doctrines. Mir. Watson was chosen for
Vice President because he is another
Bryan. As our ticket now stands We
have two organs. That would not he
the case if Mr.. Sewall We're on our
ticket
The outlook in Georgia now favors
the sweeping Of the state by the Pop
ulists. and with that prospect in view
they are not likely to divide the vie
tory With the Democrats when that
is unnecessary"
Mr. Watson and Mir. Bryan will bel
notified simultaneously. between this
time and September Is, of their nomin-
alton by the Populists.

Satisfactory Test Of Chemica! Engine.

The Lingrcn Mahan chemical fire

most satisfactory results. As III"
place of trial had previously been
given out. and an invitation to all eX-

hundred people had assembled. ana
shortly after o'clock the buildin@;
constructed for the occasion was
fired" The structure was about -
feet square. and inside had been placed
cart loads of refuse lumber. old boxes,
excelsior, etc. Twenty-Five gallons %.

venture to deny that at the end of that

and the wood was rapidly being con

rushed to within - feet of the blaze
and applied the chemical at the base.
The results of the application were APP

of two minutes the flames We're as il

proceedings the operator called for this

Outstanding wrong valves were opened
and many gallons of the chemical had
escaped through the charging pipe be
fore they were changed. Although
they were thus bothered for a minute
or 50, the flames gained no Roadway

been applied the fire had been cX-
tinguished. After such Il trial the ma
chine should speak for itself. HanGi-

time, the flames were quickly Subdued
and with chemical to spare. Words OF
praise were on the lips of all who wit
messed the affair, and the general
opinion seemed to be that HalloWen OF
any other city could i'll afford to be
without an engine of this sort. At a
special meeting of the city govern

of the Lengren- Nathan Co. was ac-
cepted by the boards, and signed by
the proper officials, so that, today, the
city of Iallowell is in possession Of Il

Fire department and city govern

insurance men from both cities, and
all expressed their astonishment at the
wonderful eXtinguishing power of the
