1t is well for you to romombor
that there is very little use to
have a lirst-class doctor to write
your prescription if the medi-
cine is put together by an in
competent or careless pharma-
cist, or with drugs which have
lost their strength. 1t is Just
as important to have n good
druggist as it is to have u good
doctor.

ACCRA GOLD COAST, Junc 1.-The

There were heavy casualties. The latest
rumors report a further disaster to a de-

Asbantis were found strongly en-
trenched.
Colonel Willcocks adyancs has been
delayed by rains which have destroyed
the bridges on the Prah Su Road.
The continued absence OF news from
Kumassie tends to confirm the pessi-
misric views as to the safety of the Gov

aprehensive OF their own safety.
The British gunboat Mag Pie. stationed

Owing to the difficulty encountered in

They Completely Dominate PreIim-
mary Meetings of the Ohio State
Democratic Convention.

COLUMBUS, O.. June 12--The Mclean
men controlled the preliminary meetings
OF the Democratic State Convention TO-
day, but they are evidently playing for
harmony more than anything, and may
not carry cut the same programme to-
morrow.
When John r. Mclean was the cant!i-
date for Governor last year MS friends
were placed on the State Central and
Executive Committees. His friends are
the majority on the new State Central
COMMITTEES that selected this evening,
and it will select the members OF the
State Executive Committee and the State
Central Committee at a later date. The
Mclean men in securing conroI OF the
party organization to-nisht have all they
wanted. and although they could control
everything, as they also nave Inajorities
on the Convention Committee, there viii
be a free-for-tll contest for the State
ticket and delegates to Kansas City.
The opposition to Mclean comes from
silver extremists. who expect that their
State standard bearer Of last year was az
one time in touch with some Democratic
leaders WHO were considering the advisa-
biliLy OF some other candidate than Bryan
Although documentary and other EVIL
dence mas been produced 10 show the most
intimate and cordial relations between
Bryan and Mclean, yet the ultra elements
are opposed to anyone who ever thought
of any candidate but Bryan. or any modi-
ticaIiOn of the Chicago platform Even the
talk about Dewey for second place on the
ticket with Bryan does not fully satisfy
them.
The Committee on Resolutions tonight
practically adopted the platform submitted
by Genral 8. ]. Warner, president OF the
American Bi-MetaIlic League. There were
only three out OF the twenty-one mem
bers of the committee, against the ratio
of 1G TO 1. and they were in favor Of the
platform which endorses the Chicago plat
form.
General Warner said there had been no
more important issue raised since 1856 than
the restoration OF silver to It's original
place in the coinage
