The starchy foods much used nowadays

and long line of troubles because the d.
gestive organs are unable to handle the ex-

besides preventing the body from absorb

persons often feel hungry a short time after
eating.

Difficult to Note When Death
Came-NO Pain

Canton, o., May 26.-Mrs. William
Mckinley died this afternoon at los
O'Clock. The transition from life to
death was so peaceful and gradual
that it was with difficulty that the
vigilant physicians and attendants
noted when dissolution came. There
was no struggle-no pain. Mrs. Nc
Kinley never knew of the efforts
made for days to prolong her life,
nor of the solicitiOus hope against
hope of her sister and other relatives
and friends for her recovery.
At the Mckinley home when death
came there were present Secretary
COrtelyou, Mr. and Mrs. NJ. C. Barber,
Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs. Luther Day,
Justice and Mrs. William R. Day,
Doctors Portmann and Rixey and the
nurses.
Mrs. Mckinley lasted hours long

tary.

with satisfaction by nine-tenths of
the people of the county. He was fear
less in the discharge of his duty and
never failed to prosecute a case to

General Evans Address.
General Evans gave an interesting
history of General Gordon from the
time he entered the Confederate
army with all the ardor of his na-
tural temperament as captain of
company from Alabama and Georgia
until the end of the war. He in
stanced Gordon's characteristic
promptitude in battle, and said this
was never more needed nor. more
consplcuously displayed than In max
ing the charge at Gettysburg. He in
sisted that history should NOT class
the Gettysburg battle as more than a
technical Confederate defeat. upon
one lone ground that Lee withdrew
across the Potomac. General Cor

was impressed by Gordon's aggres-
siveness, his enterprising spirit. his
judgment in planning a fight, his
general promptitude, his quickness in
taking advantage of a turn in the tide
OF battle, and his daring courage in
executing command. He discussed
Lee and Gordon at Appomatox, re-
viewed Gen. Gordon's steadily ascend
Ing fame during the war, and de-
clared that his superior military Ia
tents were brilliantly disclosed in
many battles and were efficient in
all his positions from captain to lieu
tenant general"
General Evans told of a conference

5la after the war when they found
heir minds to be in accord upon the
resolve that they would stand bv

All medical authorities are agreed that the blood ia the great source of disease or of health in the human sys- tenn. If the blood is pure. the indi- vidual is strong and healthy, if the blood is impure or diseased then there Is sickness or decay in the whole sys- tenn.
 Rheumatism is strictly blood dis ease. It is caused by excessive uric acid. Sores, pimples. etc, mean bad blood. Catarrhal affections must be treated through the blood to get per- manent results. To get well, to feel strong, hearty and vigorous, one must have good. clean blood and lots of it. You can't clean the blood thoroughly unless the kidneys are made active. Bad blood means clogged, inactive kid neys and liver which causes. too. such symptoms as backache, nervousness. bladder and urinary difficulties and other sympathetic troubles.
 Here Is a simple home remedy and tho Recipe for making It up as fol- lows:
 Fluid Extract Dandeiion one-hAlf ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce. Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three ounces. Shake we'll in bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. The fn- gradients can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy at small cost.
 Here the readers of this paper have a simple yet powerful and effective remedy for all forms of blood, kidney and bladder diseases which should re- lieve rheumatism and catarrhal affec- tions and replace that weak. worn-out indifferent feeling with strength, vigor and health.

 Mir. Davis held the floor for upwards of an hour. His style of oratory Is not as brutal and fiery as reports of him have indicated, and he was far less radical than expected. though he struck many hard blows at the gigan- tic combinations in trade.

Several of the Alabama House dele xation listened to the speech, and al It's conclusion Representatives Richard son and Hefiin were among the earli- est to extend their congratulations to the Arkansan.
 Nearly all the Senate Democrats paid marked attention to the speech from beginning to end.
 At first the Republicans generally remained in their seats. but began to slip out of the chamber. and when MT. Davis finished not more than twenty Republicans were in their seats. None interrupted him.. This disappointed the galleries
