And this is the way the Doc
tor answered Mrs. Murphy:

"DEAR MADAM:
eve enclose our book on Th~ Throat
and Lungs, in which we trust Jou will find
just the information you ~esire.
"You should begin at once the use Of
this Cherry PectoraI for your son, giving
it in moderate doses Then procure some
good preparation Of cOd-liver oil, as
Sootts Emulsion, and give him that, as
well. PAY particular attention to his diet,
giving him such nourIshing foods as rare
steak, lamb chops, good milk, eggs, etc.
Above all, keep him ont OF doors all that
the weather permits There IS nothing
that will do him more good than plenty OF
fresh air. Let him live out Of doors all
that is possible. Bv carrying out these
general suggestions zVe shall hope to hear
soon that your son IS improving IN every
way. Very truly yours,

You see, it wasn't only the
Aver medicines that we recon-
mended. The first idea Of the
Doctor was to cure that boy.
The result is told IN this letter:

Perhaps it was the cod
liver oil; perhaps it was the
Cherry Pectoral- Probably it
was both. But, more than
either, it was the good, sound
advice the Doctor gave IN the
first place. We are here to
serve you in just the same way,
and we will tell you the medi-
cine for your case or tell you
what medicines TO avoid.
Five out of ten of our cor
respondents need a doctor
rather than a prepared medi-
cine, and we tell them so. /

his health was good until two years ago.

You will never find our Doc

advice without charge to those
who need hira to those who
don't, sometimes He doesn't
always recommend the Aver

Eugene v. Brewster, Brooklyn, N.
Y: There are twenty-five reasons why
Mr.. Bryan should not be elected. The
chief one is that he has behind him a
disorganized mass of men with con-
fiicting theories, and If elected, the
appointment of many thousand Of Of

confusion worse than confounded."

of the currency, and the Democra,.c
managers may boast all they want
to, but the fact is that a vast ma
jority of the German-born voters
regard this question as the para
mount one, beside which imperial
ism,' so-called, cuts no figure. The
trust question is hardly worth talk
ing about for the reason that both
parties have concluded that trusts
are bad things. I regard Mr.. Schurz
as deluded respecting the Philip
pines. The Philippine question is so
much on his mind that it has pre-
cluded him from looking impartial
ly at the situation in its entirety.
His judgment, in fact, seems to have
been completely overloaded by it.
81 consider Mr.. Bryan a danger
GUS man for the reason that he seeks
to arouse class hatred and panders
to socialistic and populistic tenden-
cies. He should not be elected, and
it is the duty of every business man,
every working man and of all who
love their country to see that he is
defeated"

thrown out, it was allowed to
stand as far as it related to men,
bers Of the Legislature. The lat
ter elected j. G. S. Blackburn to
the United States Senate, but
can not conceive that that body
will seat him. I think that I am
not exaggerating when say that
at the election in which Mr.. Goe-
bel was a candidate for Governor
90 per cent of the honest vote Of
the State was thrown out and
nullified to permit the issuing of
certificate to him. A similar state
of facts would prevail this year
but for the fact that Congress
can take hand in investigating
the returns. Goebelism means
that it matters not how the people
may vote, so long as Goebelites
can do the counting. The Repub-
licans might carry every county
in the State but one, and then
the State Election Commissioners
could, with only that one coun-
ty, legally declare the Electoral
vote for Bryan. Whether the
Goebelites would dare to do this
remains to be seen, as their &C
ton would be subject to review
by Congress"

views on the financial question
as expressed in his letter to Chi

GENERAL BUCKNER
DECLARES FOR MCKINLEY


General Simon B. Buckner, of
Kentucky, who, in 1896, was the
candidate for Vice President on
the National Democratic ticket,
has returned from trip abroad.
He said:
'The advices that I have re-
ceived from Kentucky make me
believe that the Mckinley Elec-
tors will receive a majority of the
votes cast in that State.
1.-THE real, simon-pure Demo
Gratis of Kentucky, have no SYM
pathy with either Organism or
Goebelism. Bryan, in his trip
through Kentucky, identified
himself with Goebelism and drove
away from his support the real
Democracy of the State. The
candidacy of Mr.. Bryan on the
Kansas City platform is in oppo-
sition to the principles of true
Democracy, and his election
would be a menace to civil liberty.
I am not going to take the stump
for anybody, but I shall do what
I can to secure the reelection of
Mr.. Mckinley.

PROMINENT GERMAN
HOPES FOR BRYAN'S DEFEAT

Louis Windmuller, the New York
merchant, who in previous cam
paigns has been recognized as the
exponent of the views of large
number of citizens of German de-
scent and who up to the disruption
of the Democratic party by Bryan
was a prominent gold Democrat and
a contributor to the literature for
former campaigns, has announced
that his views regarding the fitness
of the two presidential candidates
have in no wise changed from those
he entertained in 1896.
Although gold Democrat then,"

for third party candidates was to

that I have never been sorry for

tical, and he has never said, and
he never will say, he has aban-
doned it. He would not abandon
it at Kansas City.
II have said MIR. Bryan is an
honest, if not practical, man.
What he says he believes he can
do, and will never falter in his
attempt to do it.
"He is dreamy idealist. He
talks and acts and believes, if
he were President, by a wave Of
his magic wand, as 'twere, he
can make desert blossom; that
he can do away with want and
misery, and make all his sub
jects prosperous and happy. In
other words, that he is possessed
of the mysterious power that can
make the world an Utopia, if you
give him a chance.
"Such a man is a delightful
companion, an estimable mem
Der Of society, but a wild bull in
a china shop would not be more
dangerous to the safety Of the
crockery than such would be to
the safety of the State, if en-
trusted with the management of
affairs.
"The country is prosperous;
money is plenty and good; inter-
est has dropped to per cent; the
market Of our abundant crops has
furnished the money to discharge
old mortgages and build new
homes; labor finds employment in
our State, and the laborer fixes
the wages. Why should you de-
sire a change, unless it be for
the better? And that better
state you cannot hope to find in
the balloon Of the idealist,
Bryan"

bined and made Immediately ac-
tive.
"An insidious attempt is made
to create prejudice against the
advocates Of safe and sound
currency by the insinuation,
more or less directly made, that
they belong to financial and bust
ness classes, and are therefore not
only out Of sympathy with the
common people Of the land, but
for selfish and wicked purposes
are willing to sacrifice the inter
ests of those outside their circle.
cit is time for the American
people to reason together as men,
bers of a great nation which can
promise them continuance OF
protection and safety only so long
as its solvency is unsupported, it's
honor unsullied and the sound
ness Of its money unquestioned.
"The discredit or depreciation
in the financial centers of any
form Of money in the hands of
the people is signal Of immedi-
ate loss everywhere.
eff reckless discomfort and
wild experiment should sweep
our currency from its safe sup
port, the most defenseless Of all
who suffer in that time of distress
and national discredit will be the
poor, as they reckon the loss in
their scanty support, and the
laborer or workingman as he sees
the money he has received from
his toll shrink and shrive1 in his
hand when he tenders it for the
recessaries of the humble home"

Edward s. Bragg, soldier,
statesman and lifelong Demo-
crat, came out squarely Tor Pres
ident Mckinley in speech at the
Pabst Theater, Milwaukee, on
October 18th. He did more. He
exhorted the Gold Democrats, at
whose solicitation he publicly
made known his views, to do like
wise as a step essential to the
preservation Of national honor.
General Bragg said, among
other things:
"The heart Of this great peo-
pie has always beat loyal to the
government when the war trump
sounded, and has never tolerated,
and will never tolerate, encour-
agement to public enemy, while
he is robbing, fighting, staying
the brave men, your sons and
brothers, whom the government
has sent forth to do it's mission,
whether that enemy be an En-
glishman or Mexican, a Spaniard
or a Filipino.
"The result Of '96 is as thrice
told tale. Wisconsin, never lack
ing in its duty where State or
National honor is concerned, set
the badger stamp Of condemna-
ton on Mr.. Bryan's 16 to 1, in
dorsed by over 100000 plurality.

that some time ago supported
Bryan on the question Of impe-
rialism, has deserted his banner,
and come out squarely for Nc
Kinley. The cut is the severest
Organism has yet received in the
East. The Stats Zeitung admits
that the current Is strongly
against Bryan, and says there Is
nothing in the Bryan cry Of i'm

against him on the money ques-
ton. The Stats Zeitung is one
of the most powerful German pa

GERMAN PAPER LEAVES
BRYAN

The German Tribune, of Leav-
enworth, Kansas, the only Ger
man paper published in that
State, has left Bryan's standard.
The reasons for the change are
that the Tribune believes in pros
perity and sound money, and
that the cry of imperialism" is
false. The Tribune supported
Bryan four years ago. It has
circulation of 5000 weekly all
over the State, and 5000 daily
in Leavenworth.

General Manager George w. Stevens to
the presidency of the Chesapeake and
Ohio was received here with keen plea
sure. not only by the employees of the
company, but by the business people
generally, for Mr.. Stevens has always
been recognized as one of the warmest
friends of the port, whose interests are
considered safe in his hands.
With the railroad men here Mr.. Stevens
is immensely popular. The news that
Mr.. Stevens would retain the Office of
general manager was also gratifying, be-
ing an assurance that no changes will
be made in any of the departments.
There are now on the yard here no less
than $50 cars loaded with freight ready
for shipment abroad. Strung together
these cars would stretch a distance of
twenty miles.
Work on the new grain elevator IS pro-
cseding rapidly. and the building will
probably be ready for the fall trade.
The foundations have practically been
completed. and work on the superstruc-
. ture has begun.
Magistrate Charlie Robinson (colored),
charged with misappropriating public
funds, has been acquitted in Warwick
county, and is now doing business at cne

CURRENT TOPICS.

In yesterdays paper we had something
to say about the financial independence Of
this country. We are pleased to note
that Mr. Russell Sage. of New York,
takes the same view. In an interview
published in yesterdays New York Sun
he says:
1.-The Boer war is emphasizing the in
creasinsly Independent position Of this
country in the money markets OF the
world The longer the war continues the
more benefit this country will receive.
Continental banking houses are among
the best borrowers now in our market.
which, of course, is quite natural so long
as this is the cheapest market. I am in
formed that in money centres of Europe
the Bocr war is having a decidedly detri-
mental effect on commercial business. 1t
is roughly estimated that the war is cost
ing 81, COoo0O a day in destruction of pro-
perry and the financial waste usually
caused. to say nothing Of the lives that
are lost. I look for a steady money mar
ket, with a legitimate and substantial
business demand, for some time to come.
The stock market seems to be in a
healthy condition, and with the general
business of the country prosperous. am
inclined to be moderately bullish on the
