VAN ZANT Beaten.

GOVERNOR VAN ZANT of Mime
" sofa didn't make the expected
progress in his senatorial campaign.
In the Republican caucus held the 9TH
err night. Senator CIapp was nominat-
ed by a practically unanimous vote to
succeed himself. Governor Van Zant
didn't even set a start. All of which
furnishes Us with another ilustra ton
of the desira biIity OF electinc United
States senators by direct vote of the
people. There is no question in the
minds of those familiar with the situa-
ton that Governor Van Zaat would
have run Senator Clapp a mighty close
race before the people.
The citizens of Minnesota liked the
stand Van Zant took in the Northern
Securities case. The moment an at
tempt was made to merge the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific roads
Governor Van Zant looked into the
matter. He found that the proposed
combination was against the law and
he took steps TO prevent it. For this
action he was generally applauded by
press and public. He seemed to have
struck most popular chord
When it was announced that he
would be a candidate for the United
states senate. it was thought that Gov
ernOr Van Zant stood an excellent
chance to be elected. But this time he
was dealing with the legislature. not
with the people, And the railroads. With
all the tremendous influence they can
bring to bear, were against him. Min

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic con-
ditions in the cure of consumption
is very much overdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient
too, can do much better at home by
proper attention to food digestion,
and regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning
is made certain by German Syrup,
so is a good nights rest and the
absence of that weakening cough
and facilitating night sweat. Rest
less nights and the exhaustion due
to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the cOnsumptive, can
be prevented or stopped by taking
German Syrup literally and regu-
larly. Should you be able to go to
warmer cline, you will find that
of the thousands of consumptives
there, the few who are benefited
and regain strength are those that

OF the millions of people, who today suffer
from nervous or heart weakness, a large per-

LaGrippe. 1t is a germ disease, and makes
a direct attack upon the nerves, putting an
extra strain upon them at the time their vital

left you with shattered nervous system, with
loss of appetite, lack of energy, insomnia,
frequent headaches and morbid tendencies,
you should strengthen the weakened nerves

COAL IN THIS COUNTY.

1t may not be generally known,
but there are outcroppings of can
mel coal upon several farms in the
south western part of this county,
near Alton. The vein, which is a
thin one, was worked to some little
extent in one or two places few
years ago, but the drainage was so
bad that the effort was abandoned.
An experienced miner might be
able to develop a mine out there
which would prove profitable.

HORRIBLE DEATH.

Another accident which shocked
our community occurred on Satur-
day morning early. A man, whose
identity was unknown for several
hours was run over by freight
train on the l.. & n. railroad, near
the Spring Hill Distillery, about
daylight. The body was literally
ground up. The head was cut off
and mashed as flat as board. The
body was cut into fragments, and
the clothing into shreds.
The remnants of the man were
gathered up, taken in charge by
Coroner Graham, and carried to
his undertaking establishment.
Hundreds of people viewed the
remains in hopes of identifying the
man. Late in the day it was con-
coded that they were the remains
of a man by the name of James
BLACKBERRY, a tenant on the farm of
Mr.. Gilbert H. Mastin, who lived
some two or three miles from the
city. He leaves wife and one
child.
The remains of a whisky bottle
in his pocket told the tale, and
added another victim to the drink
curse.
The remains were buried Sunday
afternoon.

UNUSUAL EVENT.
Twenty-Five Years of Faithful Ser
vice Gratefully Recognized.

On Wednesday evening last DIR.
Il. V. Williams rounded out TWEEN
ty-five years of faithful and eff
cient work as Superintendent of
the First Baptist Church Sunday
school. On November |, 1850, DR..
Williams was first elected to that
position, and from that day to this
he has been vigilant, faithful,
earnest and successful in the great
work laid upon him.
In recognition of that fact, after
his re-ele ction for the 26th time, on
Wednesday evening, reception
was held in the chapel of the
church. There was a large and
representative gathering of the
teachers and scholars of the Sun
day-school, members of the church
and other friends of the beloved
physician.
A fter the adjournment of the an
nual business meeting of the church
Cat which the officers were chosen
for the ensuing year,, the audience
were invited into the chapel, where
DIR. Williams received the congIat-
ulations and best wishes of all
present. In the receiving line with
him were Mrs. Maria l.. Campbell,
Mrs. c. J. Berry, Mrs. W. j. Hughes
and Mrs. Ada Garrett.
After all present had saluted the
doctor, the audience was called to
order, and in few words Rev. DR..
M. b. Adams (for eight years pas
tor of the church) testified to the
faithful and loving work done by
DR.. Williams, and, as the repre-
sentative of the Sunday-school, pre-
scented him with handsome loving
cup of chased silver, lined with
gold, bearing this inscription:
"Prese nted to
"Supt. u. V. Williams
by the SJnday-school of
THE First Baptist Church
FRANKFORT, hy.
1880. 1905. :"
DIR. Williams was taken COM
pletely unawares, as he only knew
that he was TO be given a reception,
but did not know that he was to
receive this token Of regard. His
emotion overcame him to such an
extent that he could only express
his heartfelt thanks for the gift
and his sense of worthiness of
the expressions of regard. He,
however. paid tribute to the faith
full work of all connected with the
school, which he had seen grow
from small band to a strong or
ganization. In concluding he plead,
for the future, the more earnest
support of the parents and guar
dams Of the children and other
friends of the school, assuring
them that the work was enlarging
and widening all the while.
A fter the addresses, the ladies of
the church and Sunday-school
served a delightful lunch of choca-
