The democratic congressional CAM
paign committee has been organized,
with the exception of the appointment
Of the executive and finance commit
tees, and probably will begin to get
busy within the next few days. The
democrats will enter this campaign for
the next house of representatives with
every encouragement in the belief
that they will be successful Several
things are working together that make
democrats more hopeful of victory
than they have been since 1892. In
the first place the democrats have
been singularly fortunate in their
choice of a chairman Of the committee
this year. AS soon as it became
known that the Honorable James NJ.
Griggs of Georgia, chairman Of the
committee two years ago and than
whom there never was better one,
would not again serve his party on ac-
count of sickness in his family, the
name of only one man III the house
was discussed in connection with the
position and that was the Honorable
William $. Cowherd of Missouri. Mr.
Cowherd was elected unanimously and
a better choice could not have been
made. Mr. Cowherd is young man,
43 years old, and has served in four
successive congresses, the fifty fifth,
tifty-sixth, f1fty-seventh and fifty
eighth. He is modest man, but on
the occasion of his very first speech
ON the floor OF the house he was
marked by all the old timers as one
of the coming young men of the house

are interesting as showing tho import

their valuable assets. and also as de
noting the versatility of the southern
states in producing wealth. There is

Judge Rensselaer, r. Nelson died at
rs o'clock yesterday morning at st.
Luke's hospital. He was the first ter
ritorial Judge and first district judge
OF Minnesota; the leading pioneer
jurist of the Northwest; the judicial
bulwark that protected st. Paul
against the loss of the capital; a man
50 recognized for his personal and pro-
fessional merits that when Minnesota
was comparatively an unimportant
state he was seriously considered as a
most desirable nominee for the presi-
dency.
Nearly year ago the disease that
caused Judge Nelson's death brought
him to St Luke's. His condition then
aroused anxiety After he left the
hospital his health continued to de-
cline. Two weeks ago he was again
confined TO his bed. During his last
days he was attended by his daughter,
Mrs. George H. Moeller, of Albert Lea.
Plans for the funeral have not yet
been decided. 1t win probably take
place. tomorrow or Tuesday afternoon

ices will be held at Christ church. The

The death of Judge Nelson was an
nounced yesterday morning by Judge
Sanborn, presiding judge of the United
States circuit court, TO Judges Van
Devanter and Hook of the same court.
Judge Sanborn ordered that, in honor
of Judge Nelson, the court should
stand adjourned until Monday.
In the state district court Judge Brill
gave notice that he would appoint d
committee to prepare a memorial of
Judge Nelson.
The son of noted American jurist,
Judge Nelson included among his an
cestoFS4 Revolutionary soldiers, New
England colonists of repute and men
more distinguished across the sea. In
descent the judge enjoyed also the ad-
vantage of that adTnixture of sterling
races which has created the American
character. His pregenitors, including
Irishmen on both sides. counted also
the Scot, the -Englishman, the Hollan-
der.
II was at Cooperstown, n. Y, found
ed by the novelist, that Judge Nelson
was born May u, 1926. His school
days were passed at military aead-
envy in CoopeTstown and at Haerwicl1
seminary. When only sixteen he en-
tered Yale college, by which he was
graduated four years later. in 1916.

ness and general played out. lang1id
feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth.
coated tongue and If the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny. inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food TO be readily. Thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferne1t
and jrritate the delicate mucous surface
OF the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition viii have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the safest
and best treatment Is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diasfase

and fruit acids. These tablets can now be-
found at all drug stores under the name
OF Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and not be-
