PoPULIsT ADDRESS.
The Executive Committee Calls the Ma.
tIOnaI COMMITTEES to Meet in Chicago
to Act ON TOwne's Declaration.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE executive
committee of the popu1ist party Fri
day decided to call meeting of the
national committee of that party to
be held in this city on August %. AT
that meeting, the question of filling
the vacancy on the presidential tick
ct, occasioned by Mr.. Towne's declin-
alton of the vice presidency, will be
disposed of. The claim was made by
some of the members that this action
could be taken by the executive COM
mittee, but reference to the minutes
of the proceedings of the populist
convention showed that the power to
fill vacancies is vested only in the
full national committee. Eight out
of ten of the members of the eXecu-
tive committee were present. Sena-
tor Butler, chairman of the commit
tee, was one of the absentees He
made no explanation of his failure
to attend, and the other members
are at a loss to account for it.
The committee issued the follow
ing address,:
Chicago, Aug. 10, 19OO.-To the Members
of the Peoples Party: Greeting: The ex-
ecutive committee of the peoples party
taxes CnlS metnOd OF expressing to you its
qualification on account of the absolute
harmony which exists between the al
lied parties. There is no discord any
where. On the contrary, a commendable
spirit of rivalry exists between the DEM
ocrats, populists and silver republicans,
as to who shall make the best record in
support of our unrivalled leader, Will
liam J. Bryan.
We have not felt authorized to fill the
vacancy on our ticket occasioned by the
declination of the Hon. Charles A Towne
and have called the national committee
to meet in this city August q, 1900.
We trust there may be a full attendance
of the committee. Meanwhile, rest as
sured that no discord will grow out of
the vice presidential situation.-J. H. Ed
mission, chairman; ]. A. Edgerton, sec
rotary.
Members of the committee stated
that Mr.. Stevenson would be Endorsed
by the full committee when it meets.
1t was decided during the meeting
that branch national headquarters be
established at Chicago, the main ma
tionaI headquarters to remain at Lin
coin. Committeeman Eugene Smith,
of Chicago, will be in charge here.

THE ONE MEDICINE

In the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which aff1ict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is a specific for catarrh in any organ OF
the body. Any congestion of a mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail. If there is a catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-na will cure you.

The Importance of the United States
law which went into force recently,
requiring power brakes upon trains
md automatic couplers on all cars
henceforth used in interstate traffic,
is indicated by the inverse parallel
ism for the last seven years between
the increased use of these appliances
md the decreased death rate among
trainmen from accidents. The num-
Der killed from falling from trains
was reduced in 1899 to 457, as against
644 in 1898, and the numbers killed
and injured in coupling and uncoup-
ling were 259 killed and 6,762 injured
IN 1899.

The wealthy English uncle of DR..
Evan Parker Jones, of Brooklyn, has
set an example that opens up a new
and alluring field in which million.
aires may do good with their money.
He bequeathed 100000 to DR.. Jones on
the condition that the doctor would
take some other name than Jones.
The latter has obligingly complied
and has become a semi-millionaire.
This suggests an easy means for re-
ducing the tribes of Jones and Smith.
All that is needed is a sufficient num-

queath 100000 to each Smith or Jones
who will consent to change his name.
