Comerism on the yyane.

BeSSemer WOrkHldn.
 According to the news from Mobile and Calhoun counties, Commerism seems to be somewhat on the wane.
 MT. Conner has made quite a spec tacular campaign throughout the state on his anti railroad platform. In fact, he has had the entire floor, so to speak. to himself and he has not only interest ed himself about his own race but has gone out of his way to tell the people who they should elect as senators and representatives. Indeed, in Mobile county MT. Conner went so far as to tell the voters that unless they voted for a certain. candidate for senator, they need not vote for him.
 The people of Mobile county did not elect MT Corners candidate. They seem to have ideas of their own and Mir. Hamburger who is an open and ayowed Cunningham supporter was elected.
 The same state of affairs exists in Calhoun county, another large and in- fluential county of the state.
 will naturally arise Where will Com erism finally land?'
 There may be prejudice among the people against the great railroads of the state, but it won't stand an open and free discussion. The people want all the railroads they now have a, more too They don't want any ra~cl railroad man for governor.
 All the people are united upon the question of proper regula tion of rail- road rates but they don't want a fanatic to do the regulating. MT. Conner has had the field to himself for quite a while but when the voting time comes the people will repudiate him and his radical views.

MUcH coon IN THE WORLD.

There is much of good in this land Of ours, after all. The anarchist and the socialist may howl and bray be- cause of the great riches afnassed by the favored few; the pessimist may and declare that the country is going to the dogs or the other fellow; the good men may bewail the wickedness of the world and the tendency 10 evil on all sides, but all is not wholly had nor have goodness and humanity and charity departed from among us.
 Ordinarily there may be much of seeming coldness and seifishness among us, but let some great and awful ca iamity touch any part of the country and we see humanity waking up. lay Ing aside for the time all selfish con- alterations and responding with won derful unanimity to the cry for help. Jew and Gentle. Catholic and Protest ant. believers or non believers, all classes and .sects and beliefs stand side by side in the work of relief. The rich man pauses moment in his strug- gle for wealth and deals out his thous- ands promptly and willingly. The poor man gives little out of his scanty earnings. and even the little children answer the call. Differences of creed and sects and party cannot sti1e the feeling of universal broth erhood. The mad rush for wealth and power has not obliterated our human ity or deafened us. to the cry Of the distressed.
 While the smoke was yet going up from the ruins of San Francisco, and the walls of the dying were yet in the air. the work of aid was going for ward. Governments and people. re- ligious and civic organizations did not wait to be asked. The knowledge that a great and pressing need existed was enough, and from every city and town and hamlet in all this broad land money and stores and offers of assistance have poured in and will continue while there is a sembiance of need for help. Verify, this is not an altogether bad world when we see such an outpour- ing of charity and goodness where it is needed, and know that it is given sree- ly, cheerfully and quickly.

 To what depths of stiffness did the community descend?
 Very fortunately the people have come to realize what consumate fools they were making of themselves in acknowledging the right of any union to place such humihating restrictions upon the transaction of business, and the ordinary affairs of life as to re- mites for employment to produce this badge Of practical servitude, showing an absolute sub1ection to some fellow worker or workers, in order that they might earn a livelihood.

Unless early and correct treatment ib applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease Is fastened upon her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkhsm's Vegetable Compound is the most effi- cient treatment for chronic kidney troubles of women, and is the only med icine especially prepared for this purpose.
 When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in Joins. baciache, frequent, painful or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet. swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices . sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. as it may be the means of saving her life.
 For proof, read what Lydia B. Pink hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer.
 " I cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A derangement of the female organs developed nervous prostration and . serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for year, but kept getting worse. until was unable to do anything, and made up my mind could not live I finally decided to try Lydia E.

perfect beer is healthful--it builds up a strength, promotes health, aids digestion and acts as tonic In giving renewed vitality. A perfect beer IS possible only with perfect malt. and a perfect malt can only be made by the eight-day process used by Pabst
 Malt Is made from barley Barley contains in its elementary form the constituents that go to build up the human system, bone, muscle. blood and brain. The process of making malt. as some of our readers may know. Is much the same as the process of digestion The grain is started growing the same as if planted in the ground. The chemical changes that take place in the growth of the rootlets when it sprouts are similar to the action of the digestive fluids in the body if the grain were eaten. The Pabst eight day mating process thus retains in predigested form In the beer all of the nutritious. life-giving elements of the grain
 Pabst has proven by scientific ex- perlments and years of practical brew ing that eight days are required in making malt to bring about those necessary chemical changes by which the perfect predigested malt is pro duced. In many breweries the old shorter process is stIll used This covers a period of not more than three or four days and the malt Is of forced. unnatural development, lacks in nutri- ton and is in all ways inferior. much of the vital nutriment of the grain being lost.
 Pabst eight-day malt. the perfect malt doubles the cost of brewlng--but Pabst Malt. with the exclusive Pabst method of brewing, makes. Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer superior as a nourishing tonic and delicious beverage.

REFUGEES AT OGDEN.
Woman Goes Insane After Reaching
 Safety.

The mental strain of the fleeing. ter TOT stricken people is best Illustrated in the misfortune of Mrs Ida Reed. She arrived In Oakland apparently of sound mind, but when the tension of the scene was relieved by T realization that she was safely located on the refugee train bound East. her mind gave way. Her ten year old son is being cared for by the ladies of the relief com mittee.
 The flight of the refugees can only be lIkened to that of a retreating army. The people arriving today apparently were driven from their homes without time even properly to olothe them- selves. Some arc hatless and coatless. and others are garbed in misfits do. mated by the relief committees between oakland and ogden. They all have the same story of horror to relate and their one desire Is 10 get as f.,r nws ' from the scenes of their misfortunes as possible.
 Nearly all the refugees on this train are bound for Chicago.
 The second person to be taken from one of the refugee trains is II. Hears field, accompanied by his wife.

SUN SPOTS CAUSE or SHOCK.
sciestist Says They Forced the Earth Out of Plumb, Causing Disturbance.


 Out of Plumb, Causing Disturbance. London Cable to Chicago Tribune
 Sir Norman Lockyar, rector of solar physics at the South Kensington sop- servatory, agrees with the theory ad- vanced by Professor Milne to account for the San Francisco earthqaake-tha is, that 1t was caused by the earth fai,- ing to swin perfectly on it's axis, wnicn Is bound up with the recognized theory regarding sun spots. Sir Norman says;
 More, energy is coming to the earth this year than at any time during the sun spot period of thIrty-five years. AS it Is conjectured that the toppling over, so to speak, of the earth is caused py the formation of great mass of ice of tremendous weight at one pole ofi the other through the great difference in temperatures caused hx sun spots, the great seismic disturbances during the present year strengthen the theory advanced by Professor Milne.
 Further confirmation also fs found n the fact that during the latest three maximum years of the eleven year sun spot period there has been more activ- ify in Mount Vesuvius than at any other time Thus It's present state Ia only what was ta have been expected sir Norman Is Of the opinion that the erAp- tion of Mount vesuvius and the earth quake at san fTdHcisc6 WSfS NaS " the same cause;
 German Scientist supports IdeA.
 Professor Archenbofd. a German scientist supports Sir Norman's views. He Is of the opinion that the sun spots are causing terJ fife electrical discharges which are affecting the interior of the earth.
 The well-known French astronomer, Camille Flammarion. thinks there prob ably was close connection between the eruption of vesuvius and the earth quake. He also thinks 1t quite possible that the earthquake was caused by PopocatapetI, the Mexican volcano. whose distance from San Francisco, geoloEIcaily speaking, fs not great NJ Flammarion, however. ascribes It immediately to the tension of super heated steam, which exists in pockets several miles below the surface of the earth
 Throughout geological history, he says, there are evidences O. extreme lateral pressure, the pressure which has broken the crust of the earth ir | mountains and valleys, and 1t. is known that these lateral motions are still gc- ing on today. Although the surface of the earth apparently remains calm there is no real equilibrium in the strata of the earth, and the eartb quake on Wednesday, in his opinion, was the outcome of an explosion of gases and the mo yefnent of superheated steam several miles below San Fran cisco.

VETERANS or THE GRAY.

VETERANS or THE GRAY.
 Today in the old city of New or leans, where Andrew Jackson won q great victory almost century ago, there win assemble hundreds of the old veterans who wore the gray and wh5 proved to all the world that no age or country ever saw a finer soldiery than were those who fought for the Stars and Bars against such odds as a brave pe6pie rarely confront And not only did they wear the gray with courage and devotion rarely eaualied but they are again wearing it--now on their heads and faces. The more than forty years that have elapsed since the Confederacy went down forever have done their work and there will be seen few veterans whose heads and boards are not more deeply tinged tisan were the uniforms they wore with so much pride and honor.
 These annual reunions are fraught with both joy and sorrow. There will be joy in the heart of many a tinie- worn and battle-scarred southron as he clasps the hands of some comra1e of those stirring days and again hears the not forgotten voice of one from whom, he has been separated by many long and weary years. How pleasant it will be to fight their battles over agpin to recount the humorous or grim experi- ences of the war period, and to again feel almost as If they could shoulder their guns and fall into line. And when the bands play Dixie" we cap see the stopped and gray old men straighten their backs again, fall into step to the tune so many of them heard amid the roar and crash of bat tie.
 But their joy at again meeting old friends and comrades will bo mixed with sorrow and regret when they look among the thinning ranks for some well-rememoered face and learn from those who live that this comrade and that has crossed over the river and will never again answer to earthly roll call or fall in at the sound of the bugle or the tap of the drum. They will m- quire for those they mingled with tt the last reunion and the answer Will be, Dead" Thus to the old and fast departing living will be a measure of joy for those who meet and of sorrow for those who are gone.
 Glorious old veterans! Survivors of a glorious cause. who saw their loved flag go down in defeat but never saw 1t furled in dishonor. They are but remnants of glorious army. Their omrades are mot dead but gone be- fore." for their names and deeds will live while men revere courage and de- votion and death-defying patriotism. With each recurring date their num- bers grow thinner and their steps more tottering and uncertain. As the leaves of autumn they are falling on every side, and not many years will elapse before the Lost Cause will have no liv- ing representative and the silent tomb will close over the last hero of the gray. All will ge gone, and with o'Hara we can say of all:
 On Fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread;
 And glory guards with solemn round The hiv0uae of the dead

We think Mark Twain played it real mean on the rest of mankind when he was regaling himself among those Vas sar girls. Each girl wanted his auto graph and each gave him a kiss for t.
