Poisoning the System.

1t is through the bowels that the
body is cleansed ofimpurities. Con-
stipatIon keeps these poisons in the
system, causing headache dulness
and melancholia at first, then un.
sghitly eruptions and finally serious
illness unless a remedy is applied
DeWitt's Little Early Risers pre-
vent this trouble by stimulating
the liver and promote easy, healthy
action of the bowels. These little
pills do not act violently but by
Strengthening the bowels enable
them to perform their own work

is the Democratic Party Dead?

When the lion eats grass like an OK,
And the fishing worm swallows the whale
When terTapins knit wooden socks,
And The hare is outrun by the snail.
When setpenH walk upright like men,
And doodle bugs travel like frog;
When the grasshopper feeds on the hen,
And feathers are found upon hogs
When The Thomas cat swims in the air,
And elephants roost upon the trees;
When insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people sneeze.
When fishes creep over dry land,
And mules on velocipedes ride;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,.
And women in dress take nobride.
When Dutehmen drink no lagar beer,
And girls get to preaching on time;
When bhlygoats but from the rear,
And treason no longer is crime.
When the humming bird brays like the ass,
And limburger smells like cologne,
When plowshares are made out Of glass,
And the hearts Of true Texans Of stone.
When ideas grow in Populists' heads,
And wool on the hydraulic ram
Then the Democratic party will be dead,
And this country won't be worth d--n.

Slipped through cattle gate.

He was rather surprised a few days
later to receive the following.

Quite often meet with woe.

passenger train, near Doe Run.
Harris was on the train when Doc
ley came on and waited until the
train was slowing up for Rock
Springs, when he shot Harris three
times In the head and ran into the
woods. The shooting is the result
of an old feud between the families
which has already resulted IN five
deaths. 1t will be remembered
that two years ago at a picnic at

Dooley was killed and another one

Mr.. f. j. Justice today to learn whether
or not he would be candidate for Con-
gress in this 1Oth) district. as he has
been strongly urged for weeks to enter
the race. 1t viii be a source OF regret
10 his many friends to learn that he will
not stand for the nomination. His friends
here know that he has sufficient strength
to secure the nomination and hoped he
would ask for 1t. but he says the 'fe-
mands Of his law practice are so exact
ing that he cannot afford TO neglect it,
and, further, that his tastes and ambi
lions lead him to desire promotion only
in' the line of his profession. He is too
true Democrat to decline to run If it
were necessary for him TO do so to secure
a Democratic victory, but he says the
district is so strongly Democratic that
any good and strong man can carry it by
three thousand majority. and as there
are many such men in the district who
would like tho nomination he authorizes
me to say he viii not be candidate.

Illness of Young Theodore Will Cause Change
in the Presidents Plans
tBy the Associated Press }

Washington, Feb. THE illness Of
Theodore Roosevelt. Jr., has changed
very greatly the plans of President for
his trip to Charleston to visit the eX
position there. The trip possibly may
have to be abandoned altogether, but
the present purpose is to make flying
visit to the exposition and to return i'm
me diately after the most important func-
tiCns in which it has been arranged the
Presidential party should participate. No
ladies will accompany the Presidential
party owing TO the absence of Mrs
Roosevelt and the hurried nature OF these
modified arrangements. The President,
instead Of leaving here Monday night,
will not start until Tuesday morning He
viii 90 direct to Charleston and will
take part jim the exercises of Wednesday
and be present at the banquet, and then
will return to Washington. reaching here
some time Thursday. The three Cabi-
net officers who it was announced the
President Secretary Cortelyou and a
stenograrhor win comprise the entire
party rs now arranged.
