A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
Fairbanks Defeated.

Chas. w. Fairbanks, vice-president
of the United States, was defeated In
Columbus for delegate TO the quadren-
NAL conference of the NJ. E. church.
The temperance laymen refused 10
Condone what they regard as an I'M
pardonable offense against temper
ance, and the distinguished candidate
went down because of having served
cocktails and three kinds or wine at
the dinner given to President Roose-
welt on Memorial day at the Fair
banks home.
There were Is candidates for the
seven places, but ii was fully believed
that the vice-president would head the
delegation by being selected by accla-
nation. Just before the voting, how
ever, a decided change of feeling was
shown and temperance laymen insist
ed on all the names being voted on.
This was decided on. Considerable
feeling was manifested over the effort
of some of the vice-president's friends
to put the responsibility for the cock
tails upon President Roosevelt. 1t re-
quired 81 votes TO elect and on the
first ballot two candidates were chos-
en-. Mr.. Fairbanks received but 10
votes. His support dwindled away
and after the fifth ballot his friends
withdrew his name.

A Cuban Rebellion.

War department officials discredit
the probability of any uprising against
the provisional government of the
island.
The negro population, composing 90
per cent of the people who opposed
Palma's government, claim they have
not been fairly treated. A continuation
OF this agitation, it is admitted, might
have a serious effect in driving some
OF the malcontents to attempted upris-
ings in isolated places, but Gov. Ma
COON is said to be prepared to nip in
the bud anything like an insurrection.
Gov. Magoon is keeping the war de-
partment advised Of the situation and
is consulting freely with Gen. Barry
and other military officers in command
of the army Of Cuban pacification.

is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache
and Overcome Kidney Trouble and
Bladder Weakness Though Harm
less and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from New York daily paper,
giving simple prescription, as formu-
lated by noted authority, who claims
that he has found positive rem
edy to cure almost any case of back
ache or kidney or bladder derange-
ment, in the following simple prescrip-
ton, IL taken before the stage Of
Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle. and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated
that the ingredients are all harmless,
and can be obtained at a small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy,
or the mixture would be put up IL
asked to do so. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no rea-
son why it would not be a splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary trou-
bles and backache, as it has a peculiar
action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important or
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick

The ceremonies attending the dedi-
cation of the Mckinley mausoleum be-
gun with the arrival of President
Roosevelt and his party at 1915 q. m.
They were greeted at the Pennsyl-
vania station by a great throng. Upon
leaving the train the reception COM
mittee entered carriages and accom-
panied the president to the Central
high school AS he neared the school
building the 100 children, grouped
and dressed to represent the national
flag, arose In body and sang Am
erica"
The mausoleum in which rests the
bodies of President Mckinley and his
wife stands on an eminence TO which
has been given the name of Monu-
ment hill, about two miles due west
of the Mckinley home, in the city OF
Canton. 1t is not an ornate affair,
but its simplicity is relieved by suffi-
cient artistic establishment to make
il an object of beauty.
From the first step of the approach
to the monument to the actual top
of the structure is 1863 feet inches,
the mausoleum itself being 9S feet 6
inches high above the summit of the
mound.
Half way down from the top of the
1875 granite steps that lead up to the
main entrance on the south side of
the mausoleum stands an heroic
bronze figure of President Mckinley,
representing him in the attitude usual
ly assumed when speaking.
Upon the face of the pedestal Of
the statue these words are inscribed:
William Mckinley, president of the
United States; a statesman singlar-
ly gifted to unite the discordant
forces of government and mould the
diverse purposes of men toward pro-
gressive and salutary action; mag
istrate whose poise of judgment was
tested and indicated in a succession
of national emergencies; good citizen,
brave soldier wise executive. helper
and leader of men, exemplar to his
people of the virtues that build and
conserve the state, society, and the
home"
Beneath the dome stand the sarco-
phagi containing the bodies of the
president and Mrs. Mckinley, and in
inches on the north side of the dome
are the caskets containing those of
the two daughters, Ida and Mary,
who died in infancy.
