PIECE OF BRYAN's COAT.
Cut OF by Nebraska Woman for
Souvenir.

washington, June 16.-''when Mr.;
Bryan spoke in Lincoln last fall" said
Mr.. T G. Marsden OF the Nebraska
Capital, he lost a piece of his coat, and
I don't believe he knows now how 1t
occurred. At any rate I have never
seen the story in print, and but few
people saw the incident.
LAS Mr. Bryan left the platform a
great crowd pressed forward TO con-
graduate him on his magnificent
speech. In the throng there was de-
mure little woman who was as eager to
reach the candidates side as any Of us.
She was right in front of me, and I
saw a small pair of scissors in her hand.
Visions of an attempted assaSsina ton
hoated through my mind, and was pre-
pairing to distinguish myself by saving
Mr. Bryan's life. When the little wom-
an was within q foot of Mr.. Bryan,
whose back was turned, she reached
forward like a flash and, Selling the
skirt of his coat, cut off a bit of the
cloth before you could wink your eye.
I was SO astOnished could not speak.
She did not pause to shake Mr.. Bryan's
hand, but pushed her way out of the
crowd and disappeared. I have always
entertained a high opinion of that little
woman on account of her nerve. She
doubtless has that piece of cloth yet,
and values it highly

ORIGINAL PACKAGE STORE.
New 2 ork Firm Begins a Liquor Bus
mess at Charleston. S. G.

Charleston, S. C., June 16.-The first
Original package store for selling Hq
uOr in this state under the provisions of
the recent decision of Judge Simonton,
of the United States court, was opened
here today. J. S. Pinkussohn, as agent
of a New York firm, imported 1000
cases of liquor via the Clyde line steam
ers. The goods were hauled through
the streets, and, without being molested
by the state cOnstables, were lodged in
a store room on King street, the city's
leading thOroughfare.
The establishment was opened at
once and began selling liquor in origi-
nal packages. It continued business
throughout the day without trouble.
Within the next few days several other
similar establishments will be opened
here. All the stuff sold today was in
gallon packages, but in a short time
packages containing pints and half
pints of liquor will be placed on sale.
Exactly what action is to be taken by
the dispensary authorities in this con-
nection is not yet known.

Get Strength, Vigor, Clear Complexion
and Good Digestion, Not by Pat
eut Medicines, But in Ma
lures Own Way.

Any honest physician will tell you that
there is but one way to get increased
flesh; all the patent medicines and cod
liver oils to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength and vigor of mind and
body, and that is through the stomach by
wholesome food well digested. There is
no reason OF common sense in any other
method whatever.
People are thin, run down, nervous,
pale and shaky in their nerves, simply be-
cause their stOmachs are weak.
They may not think they have dispep-
sia but the fact remains that they do not
eat enough food or what they eat is not
quickly and properly digested as it should
be.
Dr. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secre-
ton of gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There are several good preparations
which will do this, but none so readily as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which are
designed especially for all stomach trou~
bles, and which cure all digestive weak
ness the common sense plan of fur
nishing principles which the stomach
lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any for of
appetite and increase vigor. added flesh,
pure blood, and strength of nerve and
muscle is the perfect natural result.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safes
ttonic known and will cure any form OF
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. May be found at druggists at
so cents for full sized package or direct

1T WILL BE BRYAN.
John a. Atwood Says Bryan Will Be
Renominated in 1900.

John H. Atwood of Leavenworth was
in the city yesterday and appeared pc
fore the state board of railroad asses
SOrs in the interest of the LeaVenWOrth
Bridge company which desires to have
the state and not the local authorities
make the valuation and assessment of
the bridge.
Asked if Mr.. Bryan would be the next
nominee for president, he said:
I think so, unquesttOnably. man
who has such a firm hold upon the peo-
pie as MI. Bryan has cannot shake them
off. They admire his personality, meth
stand by him. The Democrats will
renominate him. TIE people will renOmi-
nate him, I mean. We talk nowadays
a good deal about the party leaders
ter politician is simply a man whose
foresight indicates what the people
want. He does not lead. Bryan leads
the people and the politicians get in
front and claim the credit"
Asked if fusion would prevail again
in the next state campaign Mr.. Atwood
said: Yes, sir, and it will be complete
fusion. The Democrats will get what
they ask for because they will not be
unreasonable.
Governor Leedy will be renoninated
beyond any doubt. He has three char
acteristics which appeal strongly to the
people. He is honest; has courage and
is a man of good intentions. The peo-
pie like, greatest of all a man with
nerve. They do not like to see grand
mothers as governors whining around
and fearing to act upon any question
of public Importance"
Asked if the Democrats had decided
what they would demand at the hands
of the Populists in the next campaign
Mr. Atwood said: I'VE have not decid-
ed is~
when will you decide?"
o.. I can't say. Tat's a year dis
liant"

Itching,
Burning,
Eczema

Is the external indication of a con-
dition of the blood which produces a
fiery irritation almost unbearable. It is
a mistake to think that this local irrita-
ton is the disease itself-it is simply an
evidence of a disordered condition of the
blood. The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why the various sa1ves
and ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only
blood remedy can do that. S. S. s. is
without an equal for blood diseases, and
promptly and permanently cures Eczema
and removes all faint.
Much torture could be avoided if the
first itching symptoms were needed and
a course of S.S.S- taken promptly, as ap-
Parently insignificant skin irritations
usually develop into the worst form
OF Eczema unless properly treated.
It matters rot what other treatment
has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always
gets at the seat of the disease, and
forces it ont.

dent and highly respected citizen of

11S snakes were killed in Paramount

while still burning by two 1aborers,
who had been summoned by a park
guard There was a crowd at the
scene. A bunch of snakes, old snakes
and little baby snakes, deprived of their
home in the decayed tree, made their
way out and wriggled as fast as they
could to a clump of buses near by.
Women and children screamed and ran
away, but tie guard and te laborers
armed themselves with clubs and tack
led the snakes.
When the clubbing was over, by act
ual count, 118 snakes had been killed.
Here and there a sly snake would play
possum and pretend he was dead when
he YVES only half dead, and when he
thought no one was looking would creep
and edge away. But the men finished
them before they got away.

ALCOHOL FOR JAPAN.
Peoria Ships $50 Barrels and More
Will Follow.

San Francisco, June 16-AIcohoI is
now being shipped to Japan under cir
cumstances which promise that the
American article will be able to come
into profitable competition with the
German product. The latter has almost
a monopoly of the trade, as with the ad-
vantage Of an export bounty it has been
laid down at rates that could not be met
by the makers of American corn spir-
its.
Recently reduced transportation rates
have been obtained, making it possible
to ship alcohol to Yokohama from Pc
Oria at a profit. Thus far three cars,
comprising 5S5 barrels, have been for
warded to their destination. This is ex-
kected to be the opening of a trade
which amounts up into the millions of
dollars annually

ST have been a sufferer for eight years
With that horrible disease, Eczema, at
times all over my body, and no person
can describe the burning and itching I
had to endure.
''The extent of my sufferings can be
appreciated when state that my con-
ditiOu was such that I could not take
my bed, and for three months I never
laid down, but was compelled to sit in
my chair when not moving around. I
was treated by the best of physicians
with no success, and tried all the patent
medicines reComFn ended for Eczenaa,
without any good results. I then went
to the Indiana Mud baths, with the same
results, and then to Mt. Clements, the
celebrated medical resort, where the
treatment partially helped me, but the
disease shortly returned I went to
Florida, thinking that 8 change of c1i-
mate and water and the citron fruit
might cure me, but found no cure.
f'I then tried S.S.S.and after three DAYS
the burning and itching subsidized, and
I continued to improve steadily until I
was well-entiTely cured. After COM
mencing s. S. S. I never put an exter-
