Greetings That the Atchison Delegate

Philadelphia, June 20.-In the Chest

abides a very pious Episcopal clergy
man, and his parishioners make his life

Among other things he has taught
them, especially the women, to greet
their neighbors and all others whom
they meet in the street in the early part
of the day with, Christ indeed is risen.

Roosevelt. As before the effort was
made by New York and Pennsy
Plat and Quay through their lieCten-
ants worked all day to make Roose-
welt the candidate. The stampede
which had been checked and turned
the previous night was begun early
yesterday morning. Many stories were
circulated. Roosevelt was quoted as
saying absolutely that he would ac-
cept if nominated. He was also quoted
as having a change of heart and want
ing the nomination. In fact all kinds
of rumors were in circulation and the
situation remained cloudy all day and
One thing definitely developed. There
is to be a fight The nomination is not
to be made without a contest. Senator
Hanna is doing all he can to defeat
Roosevelt and has determined to con-
tinue on that line to the end He is
lining up the friends of the admins
tration against Roosevelt. In this he is
acting in harmony with the wishes of
Roosevelt, who has urged all delegates
visiting him not to vote for him for
vice president.
The next serious proposition that
confronts Mr.. Hanna is what he shall
do as between Long and Dolliver.
There is q popular sentiment for Dol

Hanna's personal choice and is pre-

friends have pointed out to Senator
Hanna that the Iowa candidate has
now got into the fight 50 far that he
wants to win. to which Hama re-
piled that defeat would not injure Dol
liver. He has already acquired a great
deal of prominence, says Hanna, and
he will not be injured if he should be
defeated by a candidate like Long.
In making the fight against Roose-
welt, Hanna finds the opponents of
Roosevelt divided, some for Long and
some for Dolliver. The question Of
transferring the vote from one to the
other without nominating the man

Senator Hanna IF the friends of the
president cannot agree upon a candi-
date and by their differences cause the
nomination of a man that is not wanted
and does not want the place. they will
have to take the responsibility for it,"
Senator Hanna did not believe there
would be a loss of more than few
votes, although DolliVer men in the
west declare that they will not vote for
Long, and there seems to be large
number of eastern men who are now for
Long who say they prefer Roosevelt to
Dolliver.
The conferences between Hanna and
Plat were an interesting feature of the
vice presidential contest. Hanna talked
to Platt as he had talked to Oden and
Quigg the day before. He told him that
because Platt did not want Roosevelt in
New York was no reason why he should
attempt to force him upon the party i'll
national politics. Platt then tried to get
an agreement from Hanna to support
Odell, and this was refused on the
ground of being unjust to the other can
didates in the field. Platt asked for
time and the matter went back to the
New York delegation. The contest has
not assumed any such definite form as
to even approximate the relative
strength of the three candidates, for the

NEW YORK FOR WOODRUFF.
Hard Blow Given to the Roosevelt
Vice Presidential Boom.

Philadelphia, June 20.-Lieutenant
Governor Timothy L. Woodruff will be
presented to the convention as the can
didate of New York for vice president.
1t was decided to do this after a four
hours stormy session of the New York
delegation. during which every kind
Of appeal was made to get Governor
Roosevelt to say that he would accept
a nomination.
The vice presidential situation is still
mixed because it is asserted that New
York makes this move so as to go into
the convention with a candidate and
yet hoping that Roosevelt will be nomi-
mated. Senator Hanna has stated that
he controls the delegates to such an
extent that he can nominate any can
didate he pleases, and it is not known
that he has withdrawn his objections
to Woodruff.
The latter was as much surprised as
ANYBODY over the result. The idea
seems to be prevalent that Secretary
Long is the most favored candidate.
With a probability that Roosevelt may
still be nominated. Governor Roose-
Welt believes that his wishes having
been respected by his own delegation he
is finally out of the race
What is the situation, Senator2"
Roosevelt is out of it, and will not
be nominated
The question was put to Senator
Hanna and that is the way he answered
it. This was after another effort during

Catarrh is a Lingering Gold Which Re fuses to Yield to Ordinary Treatment

fuses to Yield to Ordinary Treatment
 Catarrh usually starts with a cold iD the head and if left unchecked in this climate, rarely gets well of itself.
 As frekh cold is taken the disease spreads getting deeper and deeper creeping along the mucous membranes from nose to throat from throat to windpipe, from windpipe to bronchial tubes and from bronchial tubes to lung cells.
 The mucous membranes all connect, one with another. Hence it is easy to spread from one part to another lined with this same membrane. This is why catarrh In the head soon effects the throat and finally the stomach itself, bringing on chronic catarrh of the stomach, which Is a most obstinate form of dyspepsia.
 Everybody Is now well agreed that catarrh is a blood disease and not a local one, and the attempt to cure by local applicat atonS simply gives temporary relief from the purely local symptoms without the remotest effect in staying the progress of the dis ease
 There Is a new preparation recently off, fered to the public that Is apparently -des- tined to do away with every other form of catarrh treatment.
 This new remedy is not a secret patent medicine, but is a large, pleasant tasting tablet composed of Sauguinaria, Eucalyptol, Guaicol, Hydrastin and other valuable and harmless specifies. which are taken inter- nally and seem to have a remarkably bene- ficial effect upon the blood and mucous membranes, apparently eliminating the ca- tarrhal poison from the whole system.
 These tablets while being pleasant, con- venlent and absolutely safe to use have made cures in long standing cases of ca- tarrh that are little short of marvellous They are sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and any catarrh sufferer who has tried inhalers, lotions ointments. salves, etc.. and realized their fn- convenience and useessness, will fully ap- preciate the difference between a mere pal liative and a permanent cure after giving Stuarts Catarrh Tablets an impartial trial
