Winston Salem, N. c., Sept. Hon. j.
c. Buxton, of this city, was nominated on
the forty-ninth ballot at II o'clock last
night by the Congressional convention,
held at Lenor. This county is certain to
have the next representative in Congress,
the Republican candidate, Spencer Black
burn, also being a resident of Winston.
In his speech of acceptance last night,
Mr.. Buxton said the question has been
raised whether the race issue has been
settled in this State. 1t can never be
settled, he said, as long as the Republican
party puts uD man for Congress who
voted for a negro, and against one
armed Confederate soldier. 1t can't be
settled when the Republican nominee OF
this district voted to put Eastern cities
and towns of this State under negro rule.
This sentiment was loudly cheered.

arrangement with Russia regarding the

We have killed 10000 men who

an inheritance OF hatred to the invad-

This IS to me the paramount issue

WASHINGTON, October 1O.-Thomas
F. Lane, a s~on-in-law of Senator Black
burn, committed suicide at his home
here last night. Mr.. Lane entered the
house about II p. m. and shot himself
in the presence of his little daughter
while his wife was resting on a couch
in an adjoining room. Death was al
| most instantaneous. Mr.. Lane was the

Ordnance firm OF Vickers Sons &
Maxim.
lie was well-to-do, prominently con
nosted and a familiar figure in Wash
ington society. 1t is said that he was
driven to the act by brooding over his
i'll health. Eie was told some time ago
that he had Bright's disease, and he
allowed the matter to prey upon his
mind.
His wife, who a Lucille Blackburn,
Lcd a narrow escape from death by a
pistol wound about three years ago.
The Lanes were then living at the Hotel
Wellington. Mr.. Lane WIS out Of town
much of the tin. e, and Mrs. Lane had
taken a loaded revolver to her bed room.
One night she was found in her room
with a bullet wound in her breast, and
it was explained by the family that
in taking some laces from the drawer
the pistol had been lifted up, and TALL
Ing Oh the hammer, exploded. She lin
gered between life and death for some
time, but ultimately recovered. The
Shock of last nights tragedy completely
Frustrated her, and she is now under
the constant care OF a physician.
Senator Blackburn was in Hagers-
town, Nd, last night when the news o.
the suicide reached him. He had been
OH a campaign tour of the State. He
left as Oon as possible for Washing
ton, and it is likely that the occur
renee will force him to abandon any
further active work in the campaign.
Thomas F. Lane was a native of
New Hampshire, but his parents
moved to Summit, n. j., when he was
a boy and he spent many years there.
He was well known in Louisville, KY,
where he met Miss Blackburn. On
moving to Washington some years ago,
ne held a position as chief of one of
the bureaus in the Treasury Depart
ment, lesigning to take up the work
OF the Vickers-Maxim firm here.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Is Not What Makes a Remedy
Valuable.

Valuable.
Testimonials are good things and
we are always glad to get them,
but they don't make our remedy
any better.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
good because they do good-be-
cause they cure.
Testimonials simply prove that
the tablets have helped other peo-
pie, but it's yourself you are most
interested in, and whether they will
eure you is the question.
1t is very easy to find cut-try
them. A full package costs but
fifty cents at your druggists.
They are worth that If they only
help you a little bit. The chance
is worth taking at the price.
We put it on that basis because
you don't know about the tablets.
If you knew as much about them
as we do you would have complete
confidence; this advertising would
be unnecessary. We have seen
them cure the worst cases of stom-
ach trouble. Cases of long stand
ing and obstinacy, cases that other
medicines and ever high price1
doctors had failed to subdue.
Here are some testimonials. If
you care TO read them we have
thousands of them:
Rev. ]. r. Hoag, of Wymore,
Nebraska, writes: For six years |
have been troubled with dyspepsia.
Last fall | became very much al
armed at some symptoms of heart
trouble and came to believe there
was a sympathetic relation be-
tween the two diseases, or rather,
that the stomach trouble was the
cause Of the heart disturbance. I
hit upon Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's for a remedy and invested Il
dollar and a half for three boxes
which lasted me three months, and
| can eat any kind of food want
and have a good vigorous appetite.
Although | am seventy-seSen years
old, l now feel perfectly well, and
without being requested by any one
| make this statement as a compli-
ment to the virtues of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Mrs. Lydia Bartram, CT Assyria,
Mich, writes: have suffered from
stomach trouble for ten years and
five different doctors gave me only
temporary relief. A Mr.. E. R. Page
advised me to try Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets and four boxes did me
more permanent benefit than all the
doctors medicines that I have ever
taken.
We honestly believe that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are the best
medicine ever made for the cure of
stomach troubles.
Don't mistake our meaning. We
don't claim them to cure anything
but dyspepsia and stomachic disor-
ders. Just the one thing is what
they are made for, but that n
thing is the cause.-the starting
point of nearly all the sickness of
the world.
Use Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
regularly. Keep your stomach
right, and you can never be sick.
