A VERY SEVERE RHBUKE

Is administered by the stomach when
its functions are abused. Indiscretions ia
eating or drink, are requited IN the first
instance by acute indigestion, which, if
injudicously treated or disregarded,
speedily merges into chronic dyspepsia.
Both, fortunately, are surely eradicable
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a ton
ic and alternative as highly esteemed by
the medical profession as by the general
public. The nervous trouble and dis
turbed nightly, usually associated with
dyspepsia, are soon relieved by the Bit
tiers, which is Also preventive of mala-
rial, rheumatic and kidney complaints,
and an inyigorant of sterling value. Bill
liousness and constipation are also thor
oughly relieved by it. A winegEassful be-
fore meals imparts appetite, which can
be satisfied without discomfort through
it's regulating and tonic influences. Use it
systematically and persistently.

WILL FIGHT A GOLD MAN.
Only Condition ON Which Mr.. Altgeld
Will Enter the Spring Campaign.

VIII Enter the Splung CamIEISn'
Chicago, Feb. 10.-On one condition
alone Ex-Governor Altgeld will enter the
spring campaign. That condition will be
furnished by an attempt to nominate
Judge Payne or some other gold Demo
crat. Rather than Sc a gold man nomi-
mated tor mayor, Altgeld says he will
roll up both sleeves and wade into the
fight for all there is in it.
As between the various silver candi-
dates, the Ex-Governor says he has no
choice. He is willing to keep hands off
and let the various candidates fight it out
Rut the nomination of gold man is re-
garled by Altgeid in the light of acalam-
ity. and he has officially announced that
he will do all in his power to prevent it.
The word came direct this morning from
the Governors office, and was delivered
by one of Mr.. Altgeld's personal friends
to several members of the City Central
committee,
The Governor sent word further that, as
between Carter Harrison and Judge Shep-
ard, he had little preference, but he would
make a personal fight ON Payne. There
are about seven members Of the Demo
cratic City Central committee who are
avowed Payne supporters. Opposed to
them are nearly ninety members, who
favor silver nominee, but who have not
declared for any particular man.

HER LAST MESSAGE.
A Pathetic Letter From the Inter Oceans
Art Critic Who Suicided in Florida.

u y
Art Critic Who Suicided in Florida.
Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. "a special
to the Citizen from Starke says: Mrs.
DR.. n. S. Burnham committed suicide
in the Commercial Hotel last night. AS
she did not come down to breakfast this
morning a servant was sent to call her.
No answer was obtained, and as the door
was locked the girl entered by the window
and found Mrs. Burnham dead. An
empty chIoroform bottle stood near. Five
letters, addressed to different persons
were on the table. Two OF them were
for her husband, DR.. N. S. Burnham, at
Palatka.
A note ITO whoever shall find this"
was also there. 1t read
II intended going to Chicago in the
morning, but / am growing i'll, and it
may be that / shall never wake. If
anything does hapen to me, please mail
the letters on the table. They will ex-
plain much to the persons to whom they
are adressed. Under my pillow Is some
thing like $40, Use that for expenses.
When DR.. Burnham comes he win pay
anything does happen to me, please mail
to dress me for the last time in the
clothes I have laid out. Some one /
loved has admired me in them, and |
will sleep the better that | am clothed
in them. Notify Mrs. Mary FL. Ford,
No. 4740 Lake Avenue, Chicago; John
B. Wyman, Chadron, Nebraska; Mrs.
G. u. Abercrombie, Kendall Green,
Mass; Mrs. Ida Somarindych, Elkhart,
Ind, and the Inter-Ocean, Chicago. For
the rest pray for me that | may be for
given. The burden of life has grown
too heavy for me to bear"
The above was not signed, but was
written in a steady feminine hand.
Mrs. Burnham was for some time con-
nected with the editorial department OF
tbe Chicago Inter-Ocean, having been
art critic during the Worlds Fair.
