tion of the state. and his influence on them

Omaha. Neb.,Jan. s.-The annual banquet
of the Jacksonfan Club. of this city. was
held at the Paxton hotel this evening. The
banquet was really an ovation to William

1t is difficult. almost impossible, to over
estimate the Importance of recent advances
in medicine and surgery.
In surgery there is the application of the
Y ray in determining complicated fract-
ures.
In medicine there is the serum treatment
for germ diseases, and. more important
still. the extended use of Paine's celery
compound in the treatment of the many
diseases that arise from faulty or i'm
paired nervous system.
This class of ailments causes more suf
fering and earlier deaths than all others,
and that is why so much public prominence
was at once given to Paine's celery COM
pound when its discovery was first an
nounced by Prof. Phelps. of Dartmouth
college.
The rapid and sure way that Paine's eel
cry compound cures neuralgia, rheuma-
tism and nervous debility is marvellous
even in the eyes of this wonder working
quarter of the century.
Ancient miracles were contrary to nat
ural laws, whereas the remarkable power
of Paine's celery compound to make peo-
pie well comes from a better understand
ing of the natural causes of disease.
That wonderful set of nerves known as
the sympathetic nervous system" that
knits every part of the body together and
harmonizes all. is understood to-day as
never before. Many persons are not aware

made on plans that were laid out by the
same man, but in this battle he has made
no call on his old-time friends. Their politi-

points. Vest is for free silver and hostile

and for score of years were the warmest
friends of Vest when he was in fact the
little giant of Missouri Democracy. are
watching his present fight with mingled
feelings of interest and doubt. Many of
them openly express the belief that he will
be betrayed and possibly beaten in the
fight.

He was at the very corner when a
terrible cry reached his ears. He ran
forward to see his worst fears realized.
An enormous bear had rushed on
Martin, who had not even time to
fire; his weapon was dashed from his
hand, and he was thrown violently to
the ground.
Coppee raised a shout, hoping to
turn the beasts attention. His idea
bore fruit--the bear turned in his di-
rection for moment, giving Martin
time to draw his long hunters knife
but before he could use it the bear
with an awful growl sprang on him
again.
Another moment and it would have
been all over, for the animals enor-
nous weight prevented Martin from
even turning. But Coppee had made
the most of the few seconds, and was
now but half a dozen yards off.
He took hasty aim, all trembling
as he was with his tremendous eXer-
tions; the ball hit the bear under the
shoulder With a fearful growl, he
sprang off Martins body and began
biting the wounded part.
Now came Martins turn. With a
temerity born of a hunters life. he
raised himself on his hand and plung-
ed his knife into the body of his foe.
1t found his heart. Martin rose to his
feet, and for the first time saw Cop
pee.
Il killed that bear" he said.
Coppee looked at him in astonish-
ment for moment, and then burst
into one of his merry laughs.
You are right" he said; you

"No;" you didn't, replied Martin;

much for you if ever l get chance. :"
Coppee saw that he had conquered
his rivals enmity forever.
When, in the evening, they were

told it in terms which showed he felt
deeply Coppee's conduct. However,
