What Are Stronger Than Facts?

Aulander, N. c., Oct. 13, 1900.
To Mrs. Joe Person:
My little boy was sorely troubled with
impurities of the blood, and the result
was boils and sores on his body to such
an extent that he could not rest while
lying on his back or side, but for three
weeks he had to lie with his face down,
and turn his head from side to side to
rest it, After consulting prominent
physician he told me to try your Remedy,
which | did. After using it short time
he was completely cured, and his general
health restored.
At the same time that my little boy
was afflicted with these sores and boils,
his bowels were in a very bad condition,
and this medicine effected a complete
cure of them.
| recommend said medicine as Great
Remedy, and would not be without it in
my home.

BECKHAM I~NAUGURATED,


FRANKFORT. Ky. Dec n-Governor
Beckham was ~inauguarted to-day for q
term of three years. The inaugural cere
monies were the most elaborate witnessed
In this State In the present decade. The
parade was made up of all the military
companies of the State, three regiments,
the Club of Cincinnati, political
clubs from this city, Louisville and other
towns of the State, civic societies and dis
tinguished citizens in carriages and on
horseback. forming a procession of great
length. When the inaugural procession
reached the State Capitol the oath OF of
fee was administered to the Governor by
Chief Justice Hazelrigg. in the presence
of thousands who had gathered to witness
the ceremonies. After the ceremonies at
the stand the Governor reviewed the State
troops.
Governor Beckham. in his inaugural adj
dress, did not refer to the murder/Of Will
liam Goebel, but devoted himself entirely
to State matters. He promised the State
a clean and honest administration of its
executive affairs in a spirit of fairness and
tolerance, with no feeling of partisan hate
or malice, with the sincere desire to re-
move as far as possible all friction and ILL
feeling from among the people. He briefly
stated some of the leading policies by
which he will be guided i'm the administra-
ton OF the office and promised his cordial
support in the development of Kentucky's
industrial interests. He said it would be
his policy to keep thu State guard in a
first-class condition, but that the military
power shall always be in absolute subordi-
nation TO the civil authorities and shall
never be called into active service except
as a last resort in carrying out the decree
OF judicial tribunals.

RENO DIVORCE IGNORED
G.. J.. SOMERVILLE GIVEN DECREE
AGAINST EARL RUsSELL's WIFE.
His LOrdship Also MuIcted by an En-
glish COurt-COupIe That Was
Married in Nevada.

LONDON. Dec. n.-George John Somer-
vile was this morning granted a decree of
divorce against Marion Somerville and
Ell, 500 damages against Earl Russell. with
whom the defendant was accused of hav-
ing committed adultery. No defense was
entered against Mr.. Somerville's petition.
John Francis Stanley, Earl Russell, and
Marion, daughter of the late George Cooke,
OF Cumbernauld, Scotland, were married
April 10 last at Reno, New. They had been
living for several months in Nevada, where
both had obtained DEGREES of divorce from
their husband and wife, respectively, the
husband being George John Somerville.
Earl Russell obtained a divorce from his
wife on the ground of desertion, alleging
that she had left him nearly ten years ago
He was married to her Feb. 6, 1890. Sha
was Miss Mabel Edith Scott, y~oungest
daughter of the late Sir Claude Edward
Scott. The couples domestic roubIes first
came to public notice in 1891, when Countess
Russell brought suit for divorce. based On
cruelty and other charges. This suit failed.
however, and the judge took the unusual
course or requiring her to pay its costs,
amounting TO more than $5, 600. AS the re-
suit of that suit the earl obtained a judicial
separation. i
Countess Russell. in April. 1895. unsuc-
cessfully sued for a restoration of her con-
jugal rights, withdrawing the charges
which she had made in her suit for di-
vorce. She went on the stage last March.
The second Countess Russell obtained her
divorce from George John Somerville on
the ground of cruel treatment. She mar
ried Mr.. Somerville in Aberdeen, Scotland,
July rs, 1889. She ceased living with him
July 4, 1899.
Earl Russell and the new countess arrived
in England May Z last. On his arrival he
declared he was long past being surprised
at anything his former wife did when told
that a suit alleging bigamy was threat
ened.

CAMPBELL, WILD & &C
RETAIL GRoCERS WILL MEET.
Movement to Strengths the State
Association. 3

A number of the members of the Indiana
Retail Groce-s' Association. organized last
August. met at the Spencer House last
night 10 arrange for a meeting Of the gro
GERS to be held at the Board of Trade to-
morrow evening. The most of those pres
ent last night were from out of the city.
The association is strongest in the northern
part Of the State, and the purpose of the
meeting tomorrow night is to strengthen
the organization and to induce more In
~dianapclis grocers to become members.
Among the prominent grocers who arc
here to attend the meeting are j. f. Will
llams. OF South Bend, president of the as
ISOLATION; c. NJ. Lounsberry, state secre-
tary. of Elkhart; A. j. Mears. state organ
izer. OF South Bend: Horace Prell, president
OF the South Bend association: I. j. Grove.
state treasurer and president of the Goshen
association.
About twenty of the large towns In the
northern part of the State are organized.
Early I'm January the grocers expect TO hold
q state convention in this city, and IL Is the
plrpOse then 10 discuss some legislation
which they would like TO have the General
Assembly take up. They want the pure
food laws amended. and they will probably
ask for an amendment TO the law giving
tGe exemptions. "Our idea,' said one OF
amended so that these exemptions will not
operate where men owe for labor. For in
stance. a contractor builds a house and en-
ploys a number Of mechanics and laboring
men. AS the law now stands IL he fails to
pay them he Is still entitled to his $500 ex-
emption. We feel that where a man fails
To pay an honest debt for labor he ought
not 20 be exempt, and that the man he
ove.; should nave the right to take his cook
stove If necessary, to get what is coming
10 him."

there never was a climate more subject to
sudden changes in temperature han that
of Denver, and that nearly everybody has
q cold, which is, indeed, true. Coughs and
colds appear, 10 the casual and unscien-
tific observer, TO be quite as common in
Denver as in Washington, but the Denver
lite will have it that while one may take a
cold in his town, one always throws it off
speedily, a statement which personal OBJ
servation for5ids me to indorse.
Smallpox. like the poor, is always with
Denver. 1 am told. Pneumonia is said 70
be peculiarly fatal. and typhoid is by no
means unknown. One of the most dis
tressing cases of hay fever / have ever
seen | came across In September. right
here in Denver. The hapless victim was
a woman of Massachusetts birth and rear
ing. who had never in her life had so
much as a hint of hay fever till she spent
a summer in the mountains Of Colorado
four years ago, since which time all the
magic of the Colorado climate has failed
and wheeling. For all this, and a dozen
other things that might be said of the
place. L am told that Denver is, without
exception. the most healthful city on
earth, and as I am not statistician enough
to speak as one having authority, L would
not for worlds be thought to question the
statement. 1t may be the most healthful
city in the universe, but the doctors-and
there are an amazing number of them-do
not confine their practice to newly-ar-
rived victims of the unhealthfulnes OF
the East.

| CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Warrants for prize

Police Magistrate NJ. r. NJ. Wallace to-
day. Hall declares he will stop not only
Thursday evening at Tattersalrs, but all
future glove contests I'm this city. He even
declares he will try to secure a warrant
for Mayor Harrison's arrest If the permit
is not revoked. The promoters of the con-
tests sneer at the complainant. whose eff
forts they d%enounce as actuated by spite
full and mercenary motives and offer 70
wager 5000 that the exhibition will be
given.
Thirteen warrants were granted by JUS
tice Wallace fer the following men: B.

with abetting the violation of law by leas-
ing the building for sparring matches;

Hist; Danny Daugherty, pugilist. Hall al
so tried to procure a warrant for Tod

| Stigating the exhibition by onering TO bet
on the result. He failed.
Matchmaker Houseman. OF the club,
said: THE exhibition will take place, and
no self-constituted reformers will stop Ii.
There is n motive behind this. with which
the public is unacquainted and several ac-
tons, among which will be attempted

courts shortly, will enlighten them. L am
willing to wager a part of 5000 that the
exhibition will be given Thursday even
ing"
II don't care anything about Mr.. House

there on the books. and there can be no
grounds for misinterpretation." None OF

WAR DENOUNCED
ACTIoN OF BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Timothy Healy Kicked Out of the
"ParIfament of the Irish People"
ON Motion of O'Brien.

DUBLIN, Dec. n--Delegates to the num-
Der of several thousand. representing coun-
ty councils. borough corporations, district
councils, branches of the United Irish
League and kindred bodies, met to-day in
national convention in the Dublin rotunda
ito create the Irish party"
John Redmond, who presided. said it was
the parliament of the Irish people," Sew
enty-ive Irish members of the House OF
Commons were present, and several priests
were on the platform.
John Dillon, amid cheers, proposed a res
olution to the effect that the South African
war was entered on in pursuance Of a con-
sriracy to deprive two free nations of their
liberty in the interest OF capitalists and
mine owners. He read letters from Boer
generals giving instances of the alleged
brutality of British soldiers in South
Africa and also the death notice of a Boer
boy of eight years in the camp at Port
Elizabeth, whose father had refused to
surrender, and whose home was blown
up with dynamite. According to the no
tice, the child and his mother were de-
ported hundreds of miles and fed upon
pea soup. The lads death. Mr.. Dillon
described as "cowardly murder"
Intensely excited by Mr.. Dillon's speech,
the assembly broke forth into fierce cries
and protests against the conduct of the
war. The resolution was adopted unani-
mouslS, and the convention ordered it tele-
graphed to the President of the Afrikander
bund.
William O'B-ien introduced a resolution
excluding Timothy Healy from the par
liamentary party. While their differences
are of q personal character, he urged that,
for the sake of unity, Mr.. Healy's exclu-
sion was necessary.
Timothy Harrington, who was frequently
interrupted, said that IL the action of the
delegates plunged the country into the

aUsEFUL AND INFLUENTIAL.
A New Senator May he Of Much serv<
ice to the Public,
Washington Post.

In that part of the West which Is neither
wild nor woolly there are newspapers that
nave somehow acquired the notion that
long service in the United States Senate is
required to make q senator useful and
influential" Ii is a fact that a fresh ar
rival In "the most august Legislative body
on earth is not accorded equal promt-
hence on committees with older senator's.
1t is also a fact that a senator's capacity
for good work increases until age or other
infrmities impair It. But IL is by no
means true that a new senator may not
Immediately become useful and inhuen-
tial." All that depends mainly on the man
and his eQuipment-on his natural endow-
ments and the use he has made of the
years that lie behind him. "Pigmies ere
pigmies still though perched on Alps. and
pyramids are pyramids In wales" Elec-
tion TO and service in the Senate cannot
make a small man great. and there are no
rules or usages of the Senate which pre-
vent recognition of intellectual superiority
There are in the present Congress q
number of comparatively new senators
who are both useful and influential"
Take, by way of illustration, Senator
Fairbanks, Of Indiana. He came 10 the
Senate two years ago with no experience
in public life, having never held an ONCE
until that time. He is now regarded by
his colleagues and by the general public as
one of the strongest men In that body
His State has furnished other illustrations
of rapid development in the United States
Senate. The late Oliver p. Morton, In
diana's great war Governor. became the
leader of the Republican majority in the
Senate without national fame, but he soon
| came TO be regarded as one OF the few
| really great debaters and profound law
yers in the upper house, and that reputa-
ton secured for him his party's successful
support for the presidency.
Other things being equal. IL is better for
a State to keep a senator in service than
to put a new man in his place. This rule
| applies with equal force to the House OF
Representatives. That policy has given
| such small States as Vermont and Maine
a greater prominence and influence I'm ma
tionaI affairs than most OF the large States
| hive attained. But a senator or repre-
sentative may be reelected too many
| times. That is always the case when re-
election deprives a State and the Nation OF
the more valuable services of an ADLER
man.
