Onalaska, Wis.-For ten years I have been the suffering victim of nervous pros tration and nervous dyspepsia. I cannot begin to tell you or remember the reTne- dies l have taken or the prescriptions I have tried. Take what I would, l grew worse instead of better, and was we'll nigh discouraged. Then came the grate- fui change. One month ago-on the ad- vice of my brother. who sent me a box commenced taking Dr. Charcot's Kola Nervine Tablets. I have taken one box and gained five pounds, but that is noth- ing compared to the physical relief I have experienced. I am better and happier than l have been for five years.

CLEVELAND ASKS
 FOR CLEMENCY
Pleads With the Governor for the Life of Train
 WOrden.
The Chief Executive in Receipt of a Written Conaf1uni-
 cation.

strenuous efforts are being made to save the life of Salter B. Worden. the
 tram wrecker, who has been sentenced
 to die on the scaffold next Friday
 morning. His aged mother and rela-
 tives, who are heart broken over his
 Impending doom, have sent petitions
 to Governor Budd for executive elem
 eney; but placing very little hope in the
 effectiveness of their own intercession
 they have communicated with promin- ent men all over the country to inter-
 cede in Worden's behalf.
 The latest communication of this Kind was received by Governor Rudd yesterday afternoon and from ex-PresI- dent Grover Cleveland. It reads as fol- lows:
 WESTLAND, Princeton, N. I Januarv
 SS;.His EXcellency, James H. Budd-Dear Sir; In ordinary circumstances I would
 hesitate long if did not decline to make an appeal to your executive clemencv. mere are circums tances drawing out of the case of Salter b. Worden now lInder
 sentence of death in your State. which constrained me to ask you to extend to him such measure of mercy as will nre vent his execution.
 l do not feel that ought to presume to influence your judgment in considering whether or not in the facts and law in- volVed In his case there is a condition nre sented amply 1ustifying your interfer- ence.
 T do say, however, without the lea reservation and from personal knowledpe that the statements which I have seen and which l understand have been pre- sented to you showing that Worden's g mental construction made him peculiarly susceptible to excited conditions are made | by persons of such high character and 1 probity as absolutely guarantee the truth
 and sincerity of such statements
 hope l need not say that I should mt | have written this missive if I was nof on l tirely Satisfied fin my own mind that l clemency would not be only Justified. hut
 would be deed of charity and mercy to
 an aged and sorrowing mother and eriat,. | ing relatives. Yours very truly.

RESENT CRESSY'S
 STATEMENTS The EX-PaStOr of Emmanuel Church Was Too Out
 spoken. His Words Attributed to Some Bitter ness w hich Arose Over His
 Resignation.

The letter of the Rev Frank Cressy. sent from Boston and published in The Call of Thursday morning, has aroused a feeling of resentment among the members and officers of the En- manuel Baptist Church. They consider that his statements are uncalled for and are the outgrowth of bitterness against the church more than a desire to have the truth made known.
 His statements regarding the pastor are held to be particularly objection able In his letter he referred to the statements made by Mir. Gibson to the attorneys for the defense, and charac- terized them as being most peculiar, and leading to the inference that MT. Gibson was more closely connected with the church murders than any supposed.
 The officers of the church had hoped that the whole unfortunate business had ended, but they are not prepared to let it end with any slurs upon their pastor. and they have been expressing their opinions freely.
 Mir. Cressy has never been very friendly to the church, say the trus- tees, since his resignation from the pastorate four years ago. MT. Greasy had been attending to the spiritual wants of the Emmanuel congregation for some time, but toward the close of his pastorate he failed to give that sat isfaction which a successful pastor can claim fact which brought the close of his pastorate all the quicker. It was finally suggested to him that he re- sign, but this he refused then some of his friends went to him and told him trouble might ensue if he continued to hold the pastorate, and after some persuasion he relinquished the position.
 There were no definite grounds for any dissatisfaction, but the pastor had made himself obnoxious to many of the members and to the trustees and his resignation was earnestly looked for He parted with the church with a great deal of bitterness, bitterness which had not worn away as late even as last fall, for when Charles w. Ta- Der, one of the trustees of the church, went to Boston and saw him at that time he had not yet forgotten the man. ner in which he had been deposed.
 The church was without pastor for some months after the resignation of Mir. Cressy, and then MT. Gibson was made the permanent pastor. He knew but little of his predecessor, and Is at loss to define the reason for Mir. Cres- sys implied criticism of him.
 It is to this acrimonious feeling on the part of the former minister that the trustees attribute the entrance of the Rev. MT. Greasy into the Durrant case.

it does not discuss any matter in all its details, yet it touches on several subjects of local interest.
 It expresses regret that the matter of reducing the rates on grain s per cent, which was taken into the Circuit Court by the Southern Pacific Com pany, has not yet been settled by that body, though every effort has been made by the Commission to bring It to a speedy conclusion.
 The commission also urges the ne cessity of some legislation which will allow 1t more latitude in the manage ment of the affairs intrusted to its care, as it complains of being so re- stricted to the local courts that most of its operations are rendered utterly worthless.
 After reviewing the different com plalnts that have come before 1t and calling attention to the extensions made in construction on different roads, the commission says: The San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway Company has extended It's lines through the San Joaquin Valley to Bakersfield, and at the present time has its engineers surveying line from Stockton to Oakland, which, when completed, will be of great benefit to the shippers and growers on the line of said road. and will in a great meas ure regulate the question or nXlng fares and freight rates

 the Last

 President, D. Shannon; first vice president, James Dean; second vice president, D. Dillon; recording secre- tary. w. Elmer; financial secretary, T. McHugh; treasurer, w. Halpin; ex- ecutive committee-T. McHugh. w. F.. Thompson. John Larkey, B. J. Riley and NJ. Traynor.
 John Grace, the well-known judge, said: "So far as I am concerned I shall continue, as in the past, to judge for this club and none other. and I shall always give my decisions in fla vor of the best dog, whether 1t be- longs to an congressman or to a mil lionaire.'
 The Interstate Club proper, with Mir. shannon president, incorporated yes terday, and to-day action will be taken to recover the books of the club, to- gether with $400 of the clubs money and two cups, viz: the John Grace cup and the Belle Brandon cup.

 Several w Weeks.

The Freeholders who are to frame new organic laws for the government of the municipality met again last night. but transacted little business. The members were in argumentative mood. The simplest motion was pro- vocative of long and tiresome debate and when finally an adjournment was taken a sigh of relief went up, not only from the charter framers them selves, but also from the few specta- tors who visited the assembly room in the Mills building in the expecta- tion of hearing something of interest.

POLLY WANTS
 HER DIAMONDS
James E. Nolan's Ex-Wife Is Aggrieved at Rudy"
 FiShbeck.
Is Anxious to Recover Them.

Pretty Polly Foster, whose matri- monial difficulties with James F. No- lan-one of the shoe Nolans-was the talk of the town about a year ago, is to the front again with new trouble.
 This time 1t is her diamonds-not her husband-that are causing the disturb ance. Mrs. Nolan is the adopted daugh- ter of Captain Materson, by whom she was raised Her marriage to Nolan on December 26, 1895, made a sensation at the time, as she did not consult her foster parents any more than did No- Ian his relatives.
 The divorce courts separated the pair, Mrs. Nolan gaining her liberty on the ground of cruelty.
 Some time later she made the ac- quaintance of Rudy" Fishbeck, a we'll groomed young man, who manages a saloon on Market street, and was fre- quently seen in his company. By some means he obtained possession of a handsome diamond ring and a pair of diamond earrings owned by Mrs. No Ian and hypothecated them to a pawn broker at an eXOrbltant rate of inter- est.
 Mrs. Nolan says he took the dia- monds on the pretense that he wished to wear the ring and have the earrings reset, while Fishbeck contends that it was understood that he was to pawn the stones and that the proceeds were to be considered as a loan.
 At any rate Mrs. Nolan is very much worried over the fate of her gems. and has been in consultation with members of the Police Department, as well as friends among the judicial lights of the City Hall She is undecided whether to sue Fishbeck for the return of the dia- monds or have him arrested for en- bezzlement.
