JlBES K. JONES AGAIN TO DIRECT NATIONAL CAMPAIGN

KANSAS CITY, July Ex-senator James
h. Jones, Of Arkansas, chairman of the
democratic national committee will aoai,
direct presidential campaign for w 7
Bryan and his platform. Mr. Jones ex-
poets to be reelected, the animation is
mat Mr.. Bryan wants him, and the con-
Venuon expects that he will resume his
place Tor another four years. When SEN

In his bearing was an expression of conf
dence. 1t was the bearing of the veteran
statesman and not of the amateur. Four

title to his position.
las speaker Senator Jones has a clear
voice and fairly strong one, but 1t is not

Wolcott. Personally the senator IS a
charming man. Officially be is apt at
timse to be gruff and quick. This how

Senator Jones is not credited with tact
as the word is strictly construed. but he
has what is the Southern equivalent ex-
ceeding but not offensive courtlness. It
is possible for him to put one aside and
to refuse a request without adding a
sting to the refusal This quality has
helped him to be as successful as he has
in his work as chairman of the managing
campaign body. He Is honest with him
self and with others.
At heart he is not a radical free silver
man. but he is for Mr. Bryan 1t would
be safer to say that he is a bimetallist.
and would like the Democratic party to
stand for the principles of bimetallism
rather than for sixteen to one.

KANSAS CITY, July 5.-When the Sill
YER Republican national committee was
called to order by Temporary Chairman
Teller, the subcommittee appointed at
the meeting OF committee on resolutions
last night to draw up a platform was still
far from an agreement. The subcommit-
tee held another session this morning IN
an endeavor to decide on the disputed
question of Imperialism. The insertion Of
an anti-imperialist plank was only OPP
posed by Western members Of the sun
committee, many of whom are avow d
expansionists, and who favor the ignor-
ing of the issue altogether. Up to the
time Of converting, however. this point
had not been decided, and it was stated
that the platform probably would not be
completed until late this afternoon.
The delegates struggled into the Audi
forum hall very slowly this morning.
and when Chairman Teller called The
convention 10 order at 1880 a. m not
more than thirty-eight delegates wore
present. Chairman Teller was extreme
ly hoarse as a result of his long speech
yesterday, and yielded the chair to Frank
T. Ransom. of Nebraska.

Women Should Know 1t.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their disease
is not correctly understood. They have
been led to believe that womb trouble or
female weakness of some sort is respon-
sible for the many ills that beset woman
kind.
Neuralgi ia, nervousness, headache, puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheuma-
| tism, dragging pain or dull ache in the
back, weakness or bearing-d down senSa-
| ton, profuse or scanty supply of urine
with strong odor, frequent desire to pass
it with scalding or burning sensation,
sediment in it after standing i'll bottle OF
common glass for twenty-four hours. are
signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attribut-
ed by tue patient herself or by her physi-
clan to female weakness or womb t, ouble.
| Hence, 50 many Ill to obtain relief, be
cause they are treating, not the disease
| itself, but a reflection of the primary
cause, which IS kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder
trouble and both need the same remedy.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad-
der specialist, and is easy to get at any

For some time past the Montour-Col-
umbia Telephone Company has been
missing copper wire from their storage

terian church, Bloomsbury, but its dis
appearance has been a mystery to them.
Tuesday night Constable Miles Betz was
placed in watch at the storage rooms
and before the dawn of another day
Jack Sweigart, of Espy, was in the tolls
charged with the robbery. About one
o'clock yesterday morning Swelgart
drove to the old church, pried open the
door and came out the rear way with a
roll of PA pounds of copper wire, valued
at So. But before he had time to escape
with his booty Constable Betz made him
prisoner. lie was given berth in

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change
few years of married life will make i'll
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The ma
tron is only dim shadow, "A faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage
Many neglect to deal with the unpleas-
ant drains which are often consequent
on marriage and motherhood, not under
standingthat this secret drain is robbing
the cheek of its freshness and the form
of its fairness. AS surely as the general
health suffers when there is derange-
ment of the health of the delicate wom-
anly organs so surely when these organs
are established in health the face and
form at once witness to the fact in re-
newed comeliness. Half IL million wom-
Ell and more have found health and
happiness in the use of DR.. Pierce s Fav-
orite Prescription. 1t makes weak wom-
eu strong and sick women well.

Should Make Known the Count.

Why the Census Department refuses
to give out any information concerning
the population of towns and cities
throughout the country is not clear. All
of the census supervisors have the
figures in their hands and could easily
give out the population Of every town
and city in their respective districts if
they were allowed to do SO by the direc-
tor of the census. Instead of that,
however, every report must be sent to
Washington, ID. C.,where anothercount
is made. 1t will be December before
any figures giving the population Of
some of the larger cities will be publish
ed and it may be next year before the
people of Danville, for instance, will
know the exact population of the town,
as gathered by the census enumerators.
