GLAD HAND FOR ALL
ST. Louis Convention Ready to Honor
All the Party Lead
ers.
THAT BRYAN-CABLE INCIDENT
Yesterdays Address Was
Unexpected.

st. Louis, July S.-An incident of
the convention that demonstrates the
peculiar circumstances sometimes de-
yeloped by politics came up in the way
Bryan and Cable were thrown together
in the convention preliminaries and
later thrown apart. Earnestly as the
two have differed on the questions
involved in the financial policy of the
democratic party, they have neverthe-
less been the closest of personal
friends since they served in congress
together. Both Bryan and Gable were
honored with membership on the
most important of the convention COM
mittees-that on reSOlutiOnS-and
both likewise were accorded the fur
ther distinction of places on the sub
committee of the committee on reso-
lutions. During the greater part of
Wednesday night they sat side by side
in the committee room at the Southern
hotel In the early hours of Thurs
day morning the subcommittee ad
journed without completing its work
until 10 a m, when it met again and
continued it's session through the day.
At 2 O'Clock in the afternoon, Bryan
turning 10 Gable said with a twinkle
in his eye:
Called by Duty.
well. Mr. Gable. l am very sorry
/ cannot be with you this afternoon,
but duty imposes upon me the pleas
ure of going to the convention and do
ing what | can to unseat you as a mem
Der of that body"
Il am very sorry Mr.. Bryan" was
Cables Tejoinder, that the honor OF
being present in the convention on
this occasion is to be denied me, but |
as my duty as a member of this COM
mittee demands my presence here, l
must fOrego the pleasure"
The men looked at each other and |
laughed. In view of these circum- |
the bitterness of Bryan's at |
Lack upon Cable seems difficult of COM |
1t means, however, the sew
ering of many years of close friend |
ship which has until now withstOod |
all the effects and influences of eX-
rene political differences.
The demonstration attending the |
mention of the name of Former Pres
dcnt Cleveland Wednesday taken into
with the ovation accord |
ed Bryan Thursday affords a reason |
able idea of the way enthusiasm is |
in the convention. There is a |
glad hand for everyone who has stood |
high in the party and only joy over |
the mention or presence of its distin-
guished leaders.

DRIVEN BY MOB OUT

Passes of Five Miners Disregarded
and They Are Roughly
Handled.

Denver, Colo, July S.-President
Meyer yesterday afternoon received
information by telephone from five un-
ion men who were driven out of Grip
pie Greek Wednesday night and now
are at Cannon City. They were taken
in charge upon their arrival in Grip
pie Greek by two deputy sheriffs, who
delivered them TO an armed mob, mem
bers of which wore masks. The men
aver they were horsewhipped. led sew
eral miles out on the road to Canon
City, and told if they ever returned
to Cripple Creek they would be
hanged. 1t appears the mob paid
no attention to the passes which Gen.
Bell had given them.

A disordered stomach may
cause no end of trouble. When
the stomach fails to perform its
functions the bowels become de-
ranged, the liver and kidneys con-
gested, causing numerous dis
eases, the most fatal of which are
painless and therefore the more
to be dreaded. The important
thing is to restore the stomach
and liver to a healthy condition,
and for this purpose no better
