HOLLYWOOD HORSE SHOW
Great Long Branch attraction
Preparations for NeGt Week.

Hollywood, N J., July 23.-"Take away the
Horse Show" said a we'll known resident of the
North Jersey coast to-day, land you remove
Long Branch's greatest attraction. Long Branch
has been in love with the horse so long that
when the Monmouth County Association was
formed it filled a missing link. as Monmouth
Park in all of it's glory had vanished and
something had to be organized to take its
place"
So the Hollywood Horse Show was organized
by handful of men. Some of the wiser ones
shook their heads and said IT'S no 60" Others,
however, saw in it q future and invested their

BRA1N-FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by thessmost competent authori
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind Of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour-
ish particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for their ap
pearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids di-
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifes the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get
this reliable remedy at Donovan & Co.'S,
drug store. Price 25c and rs cents.

Whatever the Democratic party may
think Of it. Grover Cleveland is it's fore
most member. and not the least of his
merits is that he sometimes agrees with
Republicans ON important issues
Mimic Journal.
IF the republicans are bound to have
Grover Cleveland as a presidential can
didate why in the devil don't they
nominate him: There will be no kick
from those who vote the democratic
ticket. 1t looks as if every republican
paper is pushing Grover to the front as
a possible candidate for president next
year and in doing this they are evidently
actuated by one of two motives. Either
they want to defeat Roosevelt or they
are working under the direction of the
trusts. Cleveland was elected in 1892
largely by the republican vote, con-
trolled by the money powers on Wall
street and the same gang are back of
him this time. They may boost Grover
G. as much as they will but the bad
odor of that bond deal will cling to him
still.

TEE NATIONS DEAD.

National Memorial day, or Decoration
Day as it has become to be popularity
known, has been set apart as the day on
which to pay special tribute to the
soldier dead, and to place flags and
flowers upon their graves. Nearly $780,
GOO soldiers of the civil war lie buried in
the 70 national cemeteries established
and maintained by this government.
The liberality of the United States to-
wards its living. soldiers, and its faith
fulness in the care of its dead soldiers,
are unique and unheard of in the history
of nations. After no war, whether of
ancient or modern times, have any such
systematic exertions been made to secure
the collection of the dead and their in
terment in permanent resting places, as
have been made by the government of
the United States. But the national
cemeteries do not hold all the dead
soldiers, for thousands lie buried in
public cemeteries throughout the
country, and their graves are visited
annually and decorated in loving tribute
to bravery and patriotism. The soil of
this nation has been made sacred by the
bodies of the dead heroes who now sleep
within its bosom. The life of this nation
has been enriched by the blood which
has been freely shed in defense of its
honor and it's unity. 1t is we'll that we
have provided an annual national
Memorial day. 1t is important, yea, even
VITAL that we fail not to faithfully OBJ
serve it. and remember in gratitude and
love the sacrifice which gave to us the
nation in which we are so proud to claim
citizenship.

ANY shortage Of editorial local matter
in this weeks issue of the DEMOCRAT is
due to the facto the paper being printed
Wednesday evening instead of Thursday

AN item that even the republican
press OF the state could not refrain from
commenting on was the shipping
through North Dakota last week OF SIX
thousand lead of cattle by L. 3. Booker,
ex-state treasurer. bank wrecker and
defaulter of his creditors. Since his
spectacular disappearance from the
state with the money of people he had
robbed in h;., pockets. Booker has evad-
ed the clutches of the law by remaining
on the safe side Of an imaginary line
that divides Mexico from the United
States. The train load of cattle were
shipped in bond from Mexico through

ACCORDING to newspaper report James

three out of total of twenty-eight
democratic national committee men who
named Grover Cleveland as their choice
for the party presidential nominee in

ten or fifteen years such men as Hon. F.
A. Wilson, Jno. d. Benton and w. c..
Leistikow have figured with well de-
served prominence in the democratic
politics of North Dakota and in fact the
same tribute may be paid to some half
a dozen men of political state prominence

the more widely known being Banker W.
