"Going into a decline" How often do
we hear this expression. What does il
mean2 1t means that people are losing
flesh, growing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to
improve the digestion. The condition
arises from an inability to eat and digest
food. In fact, food does more harm than
good because it ferments and putreties in
the stomach, developing poisonous sub
stances which when absorbed cause va
rious disorders.
What is required is that the stomach be
made to perform its duties. The Shaker

ed and digester of foods as we'll. IL will

WOLCOTT'S GAS ORDINANCE.
Indications Are that 1t VIII BE Adopt
ed To-Nfght.

Tonight several important subjects will
be up in Council. One of the most inter-
esting will be the ordinances reducing the
cost of gas. AS reported last week, the
committee on contracts and franchises Will
recommend the passage of Mr.. Wolcott's
amended ordinance which fixes the price
of gas at 70 cents, the price stipulated in
Mr.. Aliens ordinance. Indications are that
the ordinance viii pass. although num-
Der of counclmen regret that there is no
data at hand showing what it costs to
manufacture and deliver gas. Fears are
expressed that the courts win overthrow
an ordinance If the company can show that
it is impossible to manufacture gas at the
price fixed. Some of the Democrats feel
that it would have been well 10 leave the
price as originally fixed by Mr.. Wolcott
20 cents a thousand feet. Since its intro
duction, however, the Democratic city con-
yention has demanded that the Council fix
the price at IS cents, as provided in Mr..
Aliens ordinance 1t was this fact that
induced MIR. Wolcott TO make the price in
his ordinance conform TO the measure of
the Republicans.

FOURTH DISTRICT TALK
AN INTERESTING FIGHT FOR CON-
GRESSIONAL HONORS.
Money Question Seems to Be the Is
Sue-The Democrats Embar-
raised by POpulists.

The congressional campaign in the Fourth
Indiana district, where a successor to
Judge Holman is to be elected Aug. 10, en-
tiers upon it's last week to-day. 1t is an in
teresting fight to the observer of the trend
of political thought not from the fact that
it is a close district, for it has normal
Democratic majority Of something over TWO
thousand, nor yet from the character OF
the campaign for it is about what might
have been expected; that is, the Democrats
are forcing the fighting in the way or
speechmaking, while the Republlcans are
making a quieter and more personal cam
paign. The interest lies in the position or
the money question in the campaign. Inc
Republican candidate, Rev. Charles W. Lee,
is a popular preacher and an eloquent ora
tor. He is doing nearly all the speaking
that is being done for the Republicans IN
the district and his financial position is a
straight support of a currency based on
gold. Marion Griffith, the Democratic can
didate, was for sound money before the
Chicago convention, but bowed to the VIII
of the party and accepted the free-sllVer
doctrine The Populists have candidate IN
the field in the person of Rev Mr.. Brow
der, who is one of the most accute nat
money takers in the country. 1t was he
L
closest race he has ever had for Congress.
In their platform and speeches the Popu-
lists of the district, headed by Mr.. Browder,
lay but little stress on free silver ana they
devoted most of their attention to exploit
ing the glorieS Of an unlimited issue of pa
per money. This has forced the Democratic
position somewhat and in combating the
theories of the Populists the Democratic
orators and newspapers of the district have
to some extent taken up the cry or nara
money" including both gold and silver.
This has drawn sharp distinction between
their position and that of the PopullstS ana
has caused the Democrats to actively re-
pudiate the notion that their platform means
anything further in the way of cheap
money than free silver. One finds this same
theory reflected and advocated by the Dem
Ocrats and their state organ in the munich
pal cam 1aign in this city. Here also the
PopuliStS, free-SilVer Republicans and
few VI the radical Democrats have put a
ticket in the field upon platform that calls
for fiat money and the same distinction
between hard money and rag money
is coming to the front here. Many of the
more experienced Democratic leaders here
are predicting that before the next national
convention comes around the Democratic
party will have shaken off the Populist ele-
ment entirely. Whether or not 1t Will cling
to free silver, they say, is d question that
will be determined by the agricultural and
industrial conditions that arise in the
meantime The present trend of the mar
kats, with advancing wheat and falling sill
Yer gives them ground TO believe that the
demand for free coinage among the farm
ers of the party will have disappeared by
that time.
