Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, ILL.,, to the Bradfe1d Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but q
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier il
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it. but greatly dimin-
ishes the danger to life Of both mothe1
and child, and leaves the mother in con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

can properly take her into

Threa tening to Take Mott Down.

1t seems that hot times

out of the Republican conyen-
ton here: when Linney's ap-

chairman Holton, of the Rep.

Marsh Mott didn't draw in
his horns, make sufficient ap-
pologies to Linney and "the
powers that be-" and give
Llnney his heartiest support,
his (Mott's) name would be

name put inits place. Holton
says the Linney office holders
held a proper convention and
the kickers amount to moth
ing, cnd that the State con-
ventlon put Linney in a 8
chairman as endorsement
of his nomination and the
methods used to secure it,
and also for the purpose OF
humiliating Mott. He says
they are gong to teach
these obstreperous fellows
that they must bow to "the

to do their bidding or stay

and turned in a batch Of
warm stuff for that lamp to
the feet and then went t o
make a tour Of the Capitol
in tow of DIR. Thomson, and
incidentally to advise as to
the lay OF the land.
Mr.. Butler was seen later
at his hotel. The point blank
question was put to him:
"Do you favor fusion with
the Republican party in this
State?"
1t was plain and simple
enough. but the Senator is
not good at answering qnes
tions He replied: 81 prefer
not to answer that now; |
have virtually answered it in
an editorial in the Caucasian
which appears tomorrow"
The Senator also preferred
not to give the nature OF his
answer in the Caucasian. He
could not undertake to say
either whether there would be
fusion between Populists and
Republicans in the counties
and Congressional districts
generally. How should he
know? He really could not
tell what "the people" would
do. They managed t h e i /
own affairs. In some places
he said, Democrats ard PoF
ulists were trying to fuse. Al

In view of this tatelhent, it

appears to be something

cident of a meeting of the
penitentiary board that is
interesting. 1t says:
"Sometima after that date
when the law requires the
rendering of the annual re-

authorities, Mr.. Claudius
Dockery, chairman Of the
penitentiary board, wrote
something and presented it
to the board as the report.
After he had read it, there
was a profound silence. No.

What shall We do with it?''
Another member remarked,
l am not going to do any

Thereupon another mem
