ASTHMA CAN BE CURED.
A Noted Physician Will Prove This
to Sufferers in Lexington

The progress OF modern medical
science has led to the discovery OF suc-
cessful methods Of treatment tor most
of these maladies once regarded as in
durable. Asthma has always been re-
garded as belonging to this obstinate
class, bo Aling the skill Of the greatest
physicians. Thousands OF sufferers
know by their own experience that
little if any relic has been afforded
them by the methods heretofore en-
ployed. DR.. Rudolph Schiffnann the
noted physician has, after lifelong
study Of Asthma and kindred diseases,
discovered remedy which no. only
gives instant relieft in the severest
cases of Asthma, Hay-Fever and Bron-
chitis, but has actually cured thous-
ands whose cases had been pronounced
incurable. So complete is his conf
dence in his remedy, that to overcome
the skepticism of the public growing
out OF the failure of other remedies,
DR.. Schiffmann requests this paper to
that for the next three days
he offers liberal sample box of "Schiff-
mann's Asthma Cure" free of charge to
all persons applying at B. Fl. Gorrel's
Drug Store. He believes that an
actual test will be the most convincing
and in fact the only way to overcome
The natural prejudice OF thousands OF |
Asthmatics who have heretofore sought
.elief in vain. Persons living out of |
town will receive package free, post
paid, by writing direct to DR.. r.

A CASE AGAINST ALGER.
Miles Friends Find Documentary
Evidence.

A dispatch from Washington says
There are some recent developments IL
the -,lger- Miles situation which are
gratifying to the friends Of Genera
Miles. Important discoveries Of docu
mentary nature have been made since
the Generals return to Washington
and it is said that the interview between
the President and the General com
manding was productive one. There
is no doubt, Judging from the reports
in the War Department, that there vii
some disclosures of a sensational char
acter. The President is greatly dis
pleased with certain discoveries he has
made since General Miles arrived here,
and it is understood that he has so ex-
pressed himself to those whom he deems
responsible for very awkward situa-
ton.
General Miles friends, who possess
the information to justify it, will obtain

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. lex
Congressman Bynum, who resigned
from the Democratic Gold Standard
Committee yesterday, returned to his
home in this city to-day, and talked
freely of the reasons leading to his sur
render of the national craftsmanship on
the Gold Democratic organization. he
said there was no truth in the state
m ent sent out from Chicago that he
was to be investigated by the commit
tee, and declared that C. vey Holman,
of Maine, and few othe had placed
nominees in the fed for congress, and
then wanted the committee t furnish
money for the com. aign.
Speaking Of reasons for his reslg-
nation he said / at he a convinced
that the Gold Democratic organization
had served its purpose aud could not
accomplish reunion of the two party
wings; that the Chicago platform would
be reafirmed and Bryan renominated
in 1900 if the Democrats were not
crushingly defeated this fall, and Gold
Democrats ought to support the Re-
nublican nominees. The committee
did not agree with his views and he
resigned,
It is understood here that Bynum
has taken service with the Republican
committee and will make speeches for
the party this fall and that he will not
longer affiliate with the Democrats.

A PRACTICAL REFORM

Economy has never been a distin-
gushing characteristic of government
In California. Conventions have often
resolved in favor OF retrenchment in
general terms, but few specific measures
In the line Of economy have been car
ried into execution. Legislatures have
come and gone and all alike have been
indifferent to the popular demand for
reduction of public expenditures and
consequently Of taxation.
Five or six months ago we called at
tention to and commended the program
promulgated by the executive committee
of the Democratic party Of Los Angeles
county to inaugurate measures of re-
trenchment and reform.
As 1t is time for the: people to begin
casting about for proper men to repre-
sent them in the legislature. we deem it
opportune 70 ssfes to the subject again.

that Dockweiler voluntarily proposed to
Governor Budd to withdraw in favor of

weighty matters, and Delegate Dock
weller might as well have spared himself
such a lengthy explanation that falls
short Of explaining. The simple facts
Of the matter are that Mr.. Dockweiler
allowed himself to be used by the push
crowd to further their scheme of dis
traction and Generalization. Although
they had no reason to count him as one
of their number, and probably did not
expect partisan rulings from him in their
favor in the event of his election, still
he was a good enough Dockweiler for
them II they could only use him to dis
comfit the reform end of the delegation.
They did use him and they did accom-

TALKS WITH DELEGATES

In another place The Herald this
morning prints interviews with three of
the delegates just returned from the
Democratic convention at Sacramento.
Delegate James gives comprehensive
summary of the purposes and achieve
ments of the convention, telling how the
anti-monopoly fight was made and won.
and giving an unqualified Endorsement
of the ticket. The light which he sheds
on the San Francisco contest and what
was back of it is timely and valuable.
Delegate Hill gives US pointers on the
fight that was made against George
Patton in the Los Angeles delegation.
and tells why the push representatives
made 1t, and what was Accomplished
thereby. The net result was not simply
the defeat of Patton, but 1t deprived
Los Angeles county Of convention hon.
ors which had been conceded, and II
probably prevented the nomination of
worthy Democrat for congressman in
this district. Singularly enough, one
of the main objects Of the push was to
secure the endorsement of Barlow. We
wonder why!
Delegate I. B. Dockweiler gives a
somewhat extended explanation of his
candidacy for temporary chairman of
the convention, and recounts circum-
stances to prove that The Herald cor
respondent was in error on two or three
points: First, that he (Dockweiler)
gave his ready conssdt to withdraw
