Mlllionaire's Poor Stomach.

The worn out stomach of the over-fed millionaire is often parad ed in the public prints as hor- rible example of the evils attend. ant on the possession of great wealth. But mitliouaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomaches. The propor- tion is far greater among the toll. CTS. Dyspepsia and indigestion are rampant among these people. and they suffer far worse tortures than the millionaire unless they avail themselves of a standard medicine like Greens August Flower, which has been a favorite household remedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty-fve years. August Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus creating appetite and insnring perfect digestion. It tones and vitalizes the entire sys- tenn and makes life worth living, no matter what your station.

 The widely prevalent lack of confidence which has obtained for many months, and which has been repeatedly noted in these columns, still continues to be the most dis. couraging feature of the Republi can situation. The impression that defeat is to be encountered this year comes near being the feeling of the average Republican. Of genuine, hearty, cheerful en- thusiasm there is little in any Re- publican community this side of the Mississippi, and such efforts as have been made to create it and to stimulate 1t have not been crown. ed with success.

Parker s running mate, Hon, Henry c. Davis. of West Virgin ia, was nominated, also, on the first ballot. The unanimity Of the Convention in selecting Judge Parker and Senator Da- wis as the standard bearers of the party, betokenS harmony, and 1t may be expected that the battle between Democracy and Rooseveltism will be a royal one. The Democrats have made selections that will, perhaps, come nearer pleasing all sections than any that could have been made. The platform, while in a degree a compromise measure between contending factions in the party. upon the whole is a good one, and can be cheerfullv endorsed by the people of the nation. The opportunity of Democracy is at hand, and the Republicans, with their Rough Rider, are already beginning to fear for the final result.

Judge Alton R. Parker, the Democratic candidate for Presi- dent, was born at Cortland, New York, May IL, 1851. His father was a farmer, and the Judge spent his early years on the farm, where he labored and learned to feel for and appreci- ate the great masses of the la boring people. While, by his indomnitable energy and mass i've brain power he has succeeded to the highest Judicial position in the great State of New York, he still retains a warm place in his heart for his less fortunate and less distinguished countrymen.

 Light overcoats and rubbers were in season yesterday. and the rain did not interfere with the Fair" visitors we'll laid plans. She was there on time, and kept the mud and water well mixed.
 Every day we see, from some new point of observation. archi- tectural beauty of the buildings l that challenges the admiration of the world. Standing, at late hour this evening, upon the beau- tiful hill of winding walks, near the Japan buildings, looking away to the northwest, We saw on the plazas and streets below. thous- ands and thousands of people go- ing and coming. determined to see everything. We suppose that every visitor has his way mapped out every morning, before enter ing the gates-we are endeavoring to do so. Upon entering the Pal ace of Varied Industries, we saw the process of making pen points. Under the blue canopy of Japan section, our ladies were almost swept off of their feet by the sight of the magnificent display of hand embroidered screens, curtains, ta ble covers and pictures-ranging in value from four hundred dol lars to eleven hundred dollars, each. A beautiful vase, made with hammer, valued at eleven hun dred dollars, was greatly admired. | An entire case of beautiful curios of ivory was also very interesting. This building, with its many beau tiful things. was well filled with visitors all the time.
 In the Palace of Manufacturies, the Italian Statuary was much ad- mired, and 1t deserved the admira- ton of the lovers of the beautiful. The process of making fine shoes, from beginning to finish. was thronged with lookers-on, contin- ually. This building had contin- ual stream of visitors.
 In the Palace of Transportation was seen the Murdoch road loco motive of 1874; the saloon of Queen Adelaide, wife of King William the ", used in IS42. We saw d Brazilian canos, 3 feet in diameter, 57 feet long-one tree; pack mules of Jerusalem, holiday wagons of Constantinoble, racing chariots of Italy, straw saddles of Armenia, ox-carts as used in Minn. before 1871.
 The Palace of Electricity, with its many dynamos and motors, Is sight worth seeing. The largest dynamo in the world is there. We saw the operation of the wireless telegraphy, receiving and trans hitting messages through the roof of the building. The vaeum tube, lighting by means of induced cur rents, was an interesting sight. We saw a clock made out of pins, / feet high; weight. 40 pounds; I5ooo pins soldered together. Standing in this building, with mind bewildered, observing what has been done, and with thought of what may be done in the near future, with this wonderful pow er-Well, some of the members of our party suggested "let's sit down and rest here in the breeze of that electric fan.
