INDIANA FOR BRYAN.
Democrats Gather in Indianapolis
For State Convention.

For State Convention.
Indianapolis, Ind, March "a
Democratic leaders and members of
the state central committee are gath
cred in indianapolis today in ad-
vance of the state convention, which
will be held tomorrow and Thurs
day. 1t is certain that the Hoosier
delegation to the Denver convention
will be pledged to Bryan. The plat
form will probably include local
option plank and will demand law
enforcement, temperance legislation,
insurance reform, home rule and
ether reform measures.
Owing to the fact that Bryan is
to be indor,,.d and will dictate the
national Platform it was decided to
confine the Indiana expressions al
most entirely to state issues, but
tariff will be advocated and trusts
denounced,
Many of the county conventions,
at which delegates to the state con-
vention have been selected, have de-
clared in favor of John W. Kern for
vice president, and there is no doubt
that the state convention will in
struct for him if he will permit it.
The members of the committee are
for him and believe his nomination
possible, but Kern has not indicated
that he cares for the party indorse-
ment
vention is thought TO favor the CUB
ernatorial candidacy of Samuel NJ.
Ralston, of Lebanon. who is a close
friend of National Chairman Tag
CART. 1t is apparently safe guess
that Ralsron will be nominated and
that delegates favorable to the re-
tention of Taggart as national com
mitteeman from Indiana will be
sent to the Denver conventioni These
delegates will be selected bs dele
gates favorable to the rete4tion of
Taggart as national commit eeman
from Indiana will be sentl TO the
Denver convention. These delegates
will be selected by delegates to the
state convention at district meetings
held in Indianapolis on the eve of
the state gathering.
The designating of early conven-
ton dates was a victory for Taggart
choice in the governorship race.

FIGHT ON BRYAN IN IOWA.
Admirers of Nebraskan Determined
to Secure His Endorsement

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Mar. "a
Delegates to the democratic state
convention, to be held here Thurs
day, are beginning to arrive today,
and there is prospect that the session
will develop one of the hottest
fights in the history of the party.
The anti-Bryan democrats were COM
pletely victorious in the first skirm-
ish OF the state committee, but the
admirers of the Nebraskan are
determined to secure his endorse
ment by the convention. The Bryan
boomers are in a furious mood and
are making threats to Gust state
Chairman C. w. Miller of Waverly,
a strong anti-Bryan man. Miller al
leges that the conservative element
of the party is in the ascendency in
Iowa and that ii will have no trouble
in maintaining its position in the
convention.

The Unite d DRUG
pany, manufac.
turers of the Rexall
Remedies, for W hose
prepar lions we are
agents in this city, make
200 remedies, one for
each i'll. Each one is
especially prepared to
cure one disease, and
that only. This is an
age OF specialists. You
don't contract with a
plumber to build your
whole house, do you?
Why should you contract
with one proprietary
medicine to cure all your
troubles?
Oftentimes you run
across a building con-
tractor who has a sepa-
rate plumbing depart
ment, his own plasterino
department, and 50 on
all of which dovetail to-
gether and build the
house. This is just what
the United Drug Com
pany is doing for you
in the medicine line.
They have cut down
profits; they manufac-
ture Rexall Remedies for
over 1000 retail drug
gists. These druggists
are the only intermediate
profit that stand between
The United Drug Com
pany and the patient.
Could the United Drug
Company, of which we
are a member, afford to
make one poor medicine
in this line? Does not
common sense tell you
that one poor medicine
would ruin the sale of
the other 100 prepara-
tons? If you bought a
Rexall preparation and it
didn't do for you what
we claim it will, would
you buy another one of
our articles? We believe
not. Therefore each
preparation must be good

Are Patent -
Medicines Frauds?

We are often asked the above
question, and our answer has in
variably been that no medicine
that gives satisfactory results
could be fraudulent. We could
not afford to sell fraudulent medi-
clnes. Our business depends OH
pleased customers-in fact any
business does. Therefore, we
would take an enormous risk did
we not fulfil every promise made
our customers. We are very care
tut OF what we guarantee, and
when we do guarantee an article
we must know it pretty we'll
what it contains and how it is
made. We have in mind the Rex
all line OF remedies, particularly
Rexall AuCu1 Tone, of which we
are selling large quantities at this
time Of the year. AIucu-T Tone is
one article that we can recommend
over our counter and know that
nlnety-ei2ht per cent of its pur-
chasers are going to be benefited
and VIII return to our store
pleased customers. Mucu- Tone
is a positive cure for internal
scrofula or what is commonly
called Catarrh. 1t is without a
doubt the peer of all tonics for
any one who is suffering from a
rundown condition, can't work,
feels constantly tired or suffering
from the more plainly described
symptoms of Catarrh-such as
stopping OF the nose, cold in the
head or bad cough"
1t must be remembered that Ca
tarrh is not confined to TIE nose
and throat. 1t usually starts
there, but it leads more often to
serious trouble, particularly the
wasting Of tissues, as in the case
OF little Miss Dillon. Of Albany.
Here is letter from her father:
My little girl had catarrh so
badly that the disease had begun
to eat into the cartilage of the
nose. Snuff, and instruments
failed to do more than give tenn
porary relief. | saw the adver-
tisements Of Rexall Mucu- Tone,
but could not believe that any,
thing taken i'll the stomach could
cure the sore membranes of the
nose Howe yer, | took advan-
tage of your free trial offer and
my girl be gan taking your remedy
according to directions. | want
to say right ;lere that Mucu-Tone
is certainly ne greatest medical
discovery OF the times, and to
thank you for the liberal offer
that first induced me to give it
trial. Muco-Tone has cured my
daughters catarrh completely.
The, discharge has stopped alto
getler, and her breath is as sweet
as can be- Again thanking YOU,
MATT DILLON, "a N. Swan ST.,
Albany, n W
We are selling a large trial bot
tie of Mucu-Tone for fifty cents
on the famous Rexall guarantee
of your money back if YOU are not
satisfied. We promise that one
bottle will put flesh on your bones
and bring new vitality to your
system.

Japan changed her policy of exelu-

profted by the lesson, She did not
wait until further ramparts were bat

ton as that in which Japan stood
when her eyes were opened TO the
fact that times had changed. The
