NERVOUS DEBILITY!
Its Depressing Effect Upon the
Nervous and Physical System.
Thousands OF Practically Nerv=
GUS and Physical Wrecks Have
Been Restored to Health and
Happiness by DR.. Nelson's
Nerve Restorative
Treatment.

The brain and spinal cord form
the central nervous system of man
and when this delicate, nervous
structure is shattered or impaired,
as a result ofindiscretions or vio-
lation of the laws of health, just
that soon does the man begin to
fail in mind and body.
Any wasting disease or weak
ened condition of the nerves, if
neglected, will produce gloom,
dependency, failing memory,
confusion of ideas, lost vigor and
a general weakness of the entire
system. Every man-young, mid
dle-aged or old-should renew his
youth at least once a year by TAX
ing a course of restorative treat
ment as prescribed by the reliable
and successful specialist. 1t IS as
necessary as oil to machinery.
Increase your strength, power,
vigor and energy; stop all vast
ing; improve your blood and
nerves; promote healthy action
of all your organs. A sound
nervous and physical system
makes happy man. Don't jeop-
ardize your life by using value

YELLOW FEVER sCouRGE.
The Government Will Aid in Stamp
ing 1t Out.

WASHINGTON. Sept THE general gov
eminent viii. render all assistance in its power
will be done mainly through the agency of
the marine hospital service. DR.. Walter
Wyman. the head of the bureau returned to
the city this afternoon and assumed active
charge in directing the work in assisting the
state officials of Mississippi in their efforts to
confine the disease to the locality where ii
appeared to have started. DR.. Wyman says
that as yet he has no opinion to express
whether the disease is really yellow fever,
although he admits it looks very suspicious
The precautionary measures he has taken are
based entirely on the declaration of the state
board OF heath of Louisiana in the Gelpi
case, which was that the disease from which
the person had died was yellow fever.
DR.. Wyman says the situation at Ocean
Springs is entirely in the hands of the state
board of health. which the marine hospital
is doing everything possible to assist. Dr.
Wyman has wired the physician in charge
at Ocean Springs copy of the treasury reg
spread of epidemic diseases from one state
to another. These regulations prescribe the
manner Of surveillance to be established over
railroad trains coming from the infected dis
trict and give rules for the isolation of in
fected passengers and the disinfection of their
baggage. DR.. Guiteras, the we'll known ex-
pert in yellow fever, who was requested to go
to Ocean Springs by DR.. Wyman, will reach
there tomorrow morning His opinion on the
disease is awaited with interest by the bureau
officials.
The marine hospital service has ample camp
material and equipage on hand. The splendid
outfit which has been at Gainesville, Ca. will
be started tonight on a train for the vicinity
of Ocean Springs. 1t will be taken to within
thirty or forty miles of the place, and if
camp of detention is found necessary the out
fit will be used as occasion may require. The
bureau also keeps portable apparatus at Sa-
vannah Ga, intended for use in epidemics.
1t consists of machines for disinfecting AMI
fumigatng purposes. They have been started
for the vicinity of Ocean Springs.

DOUBT YOUNG THoRPE's DEATH.
The Father Believes His Son Is on
His Way Across the Atlantic.

me Father Believes His Son is on
His Way Across the Atlantic.
G. G. Thorpe, father of George Cyrus
Thorpe, the Tribune special correspon-
dent reported to have been killed by
Turks in Crete last week, is in Min
neapolis anxiously awaiting details of
the tragedy. He arrived in the city
DR.. Arthur c. Thorpe, Guaranty Loan
building. Mr.. Thorpe's fondest hopes
centered about George, who was
his favorite, and the blow came with
crushing force. The suspense due to
the uncertainty about his sons fate,
which is still shrouded in mystery, is
evidently telling heavily on him.
81 almost believe that George is alive
and on his way home" said DR.. Thorpe
yesterday. 81 know when he left he
expected, in case the war was not
greatly prolonged, to return home
about this time, and were it not for
his reported death, I should judge from
the tone of his last letter that he is
even now on his way across the At
lantic. The last letter, which 1 re-
ceived from him, dated at Crete, in
July, announced his attention of re-
turning shortly to Athens. 1 received
the letter in the fore part of August,
and 1 can hardly see what could have
induced him to return to Crete, II, in
deed, he did. He may possibly have
left the vicinity of Hierapetra under
such peculiar circumstances as to give
rise to the belief among the CretanS
that he had been done away with by
the Turks. The fact that no further
details seem obtainable, would indicate
that they do not know exactly what
became of him. Of course, all this is
c0njectural, but the suspense is ter
rible and all [ can do is to hope for
the best"
Dr. Thorpe said further, that, al
though he had cabled to the British
consul at Crete for particulars early
! Monday morning, he had not yet re-
ceived an answer. The delay in max
ip~ reply, he thought, might indicate
that the murder was, as suspected,
nothing more than rumor.
AS announced yesterday, the authori-
ties at Washington have decided to
conduct an official investigation, to
either confirm or disprove the report,
or learn the manner of the young
mans death

A SHOW IN ITSELF.
The Employees of the S. e. Olson ca.
Have Splendid Parade the
Streets of MinneanOIiS.

One of the grandest. spectacles of the
kind ever witnessed in Minneapolis
was the S. E. Olson street parable
which occurred at the same
time the parade Of musicians to the
exposition building was taking place
Monday evening. There never has
been a time in the history Of Mime
apolis when a single individual or cor
poration has given SO extensive d pa
streets Monday evening in which only
employees of the S. E. Olson store took
part.
Fully $50 people, male and female.
formed in line and followed the route
laid out by these who had the i'm
mense undertaking in charge. CT these
about half were the lady employees.
all of whom rode in handsome car
riages provided fer the occasion. Fol
lowing these were 250 male employees
marching two abreast 1t took the en-
tire column twenty minutes to pass q
given point
Along the streets and avenues OF.
the line of march thousands of pee
pie stood and cheered each section Ct
the parade.
One of the handsomest features was
the Illuminated car, Blaze of Glory,
which followed the marshal of the
evening, r. X. T.. w 0OQWdIu, dIld cth
escort of mounted police. The car it
self was almost hidden in a maze OF
incandescent lights of many coIors. By
an electric appliance in the forward
end of the car the lights We're changed
at will from white to blue, from blue to
green, from green to red. The effect
of the illumination was highly pleasing
and the car with it's occupants az
tracted more attention than any other
feature of the parade, unless it may
have been the pretty girls following
in the vehicles.

The purpose is TO nominate Il full state
ticket. The Columbus contingent has
decided to put up candidates for state
senator, representatives for the legis-
lature and suggests to other counties
to follow suit. The feeling among the
old Democrats is that since some of
the party may or would not vote for
the gold ticket of any other party, it
is best to give them gold Democratic
candidates. The convention viii meet

otherwise, to make a sure thing of the

tatives in the convention will number
