the blood is purged and purified and the system thor
ough1y cleansed of all morbid and unhealthy accumu-
lations. This cannot be done with washes, salves and
soaps, which only afford temporary relief.
Such things neither make the blood any purer nor
the system any cleaner, and to depend upon them alone
is suicidal and senseless. The sore or ulcer is onlv a
symptom, an outlet for the poisons circulating in the
blood, and as long as it remains impure the sore will
never heal. 1t may scab over and appear to be getting
we'll, but a fresh outpour of matter from the diseased
blood starts it again, and thus it goes on, sometimes
for years, slowly sapping away the life of the patient.
The only way to get rid of these disgusting evi-
dences of impure blood is to remove the cause bv
purifying the polluted blood, and nothing does this 50 So
surely and effectively as S. S. S. 1t drives out of the
circulation impurities and germs of every kind; and
under the tonic effect of this great remedy the general
health rapidly recuperates and broken-down c%onstitu-

to all parts of the system. When S. S. gets into the
circulation, impurities that have been %clogeing the
blood and causing the old sore or ulcer, are driven out
through the natural channels of the body. and the
place begins to heal, the discharge gradually ceases,

DEATH IN A MINE.
Powder Explodes and Five Men Are
Killed at Herrin, Ill.-Sev-
eral Injured.

Carbonate, ILL.,, May I'm an explo-
sion Wednesday at the shaft OF the Big
Muddy Coal & Iron company, in Herrin,
five men were killed outright, five seri-
ously injured and 20 others slightly in
jured. The dead are: John Miller, Dick
Reins, Fritz Seiberg, Evan Williams,
Thomas Green.
Fatally injured: John Swofford,
Frank Lazonia, Angelo Scaronia.
The disaster was one of the most seri-
Gus in the history of the coal industry in
this section for many years. Six kegs
Of powder had been placed in the mine
during the time intervening between the
night and day shifts, for distribution to
the men in the morning. John Miller. a
driver, had charge Of the distribution of
the explosives. Ten minutes after Miller
was supposed to have accomplished his
task, the electric current which runs the
machines was turned on, and the ex-
plosion followed 1t is supposed that
through some mistake the current was
switched on before Miller had distributed
the powder.

LAKE TIE-UP A MENkcE.
Chicago and the West Facing Bush
ness Disaster from the
Marine Strike.

Chicago, May 13.-Chicago and the
west are menaced by great commercial
disaster in consequence of the tie-up of
lake commerce following the rejection
by the Masters and Pilots association
of the wage offer made by the Lake
Carriers association. Any hope that
may. have existed that the calamity
would be averted was dispelled when q
report from the masters and pilots at
Cleveland said returns from 81 Of the
total of 26 harbors showed the owners
propositions had been rejected by an
overwhelming majority. With no sign
of weakening on either side, the mas
tiers and pilots hold the key to the sit
uation that will result in the loss of
employment TO more than 100000 men
for an indefinite period and damage to
business interests that will mount in
to the millions.
Seventy big steamers that should be
bringing general merchandise to Chi
cago from the east remain tied to their
docks. The product Of western mills
and factories which should be flowing
to the seaboard by the lake route, is
stored in the warehouses or Is going
in small quantities by railroad cars.
Instead of 100000 bushels of grain
being loaded into lake vessels for ship
ment, scarcely half million has been
sent forward TO eastern and foreign
consumers. On Lake Erie ports 100,-
900 tons of coal is aboard ship, but not
wheel can turn to bring 1t.
Chicago, May Rehabilitation has
been proposed to the Chicago harbor OF
the Masters and Pilots association as a
means of ending the tie-up of commerce
on the lakes, but no action was taken.
The deadlock continues unbroken at all
other ports.

Chosen-Two Days Ballot
ing TOR Governor.

Springfield, H.. May 14.-After q con-
tinuous session OF over IL hours the I'LL
nois republican convention at 10:2S
O'Clock Friday night took recess
until Saturday morning, without hav-
ing named candidate for governor.

and Samuel insult.
Electors at Large-Lot Brown and
William ]. Moxley
This report was adopted unanimous
ly and the committee on resolutions
then reported on the platform, through
its chairman, Hon. Walter ]. Reeves.
The salient features of the platform
are pledges to maintain the gold stand
ard and the open-docr policy Of trade in
eastern Asia. Appropriations by con-
gress to enlarge and strengthen the navy
are favored. The Sherman law for anti
trust legislation is eulogized, and the
attitude of congress and Of President
Roosevelt in enforcing prosecution Of
violators of the Sherman law Is COM
mended. Delegates from the Spring
field convention 10 the national repub-
lcan convention are instructed to con-
tribute their influence and votes to the
nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for
president. Similar instructions are
given delegates to the national conven-
ton to vote for Robert Hit for vice
president. The record Of Gov. Yates
Is commended, and the statement made
that through his administration the
financial affairs OF the state are in a
splendid condition.
The roll of counties was then called
on the nomination Of candidate for
governor.

other day of fruitless balloting, the
most remarkable republican conven-
ton in the history of Illinois, took an
adjournment at 1855 p. m, Saturday,
until two o'clock this afternoon, with
out having broken the gubernatoria2
deadlock.
The only change in the situation
Saturday resulted in slight advan-
tage to Attorney General Hamlin. On
the twenty-third ballot he gained 3S
votes and his enthusiastic followers
made an attempt to stampede the con-
ton to him. They failed. however,
and on the ballot he lost 13 votes
which had gone to him. The last bal
lot taken, which was the twenty
fourth, resulted as follows: Yates,
4S3 As; Lowden, 1898; Deneen, 375;
Hamlin, 1876 As; Warner, SO As; Sher-
man, 40; Pierce, 81.
