trait to to the State by the Sons OF

the most notable contribution yet
made on the life Of that distinguished

1t is needless to say that Captain
Mason is one of the most eloquent
speakers in the State. He has been IN
FREQUENT demard az an orator upon
various occasions. His personal ac-
quaintance with Governor Graham

sion of peculiar interest and value.

Senator Aldrich. the big G.. O. p
boss in the Senate. made an earnest
and somewhat audacious plea tonight
to the Southern Senators to support
the cotton schedule in his bill He
made the usual prediction that in a
short time the South would be over
WhelminSly proectionist in sentiment
and brought forward the JapaneSe
peril of cheap labor in cotton manu-
featuring.
This was Aldrich's first open appeal
% the Southern Senators to sup
port his raises in the cotton goods
ariff, but it is known that during the
past month he has been making the
most energetic efforts in private to
get southern votes for this schedule
fesides trying to scare the Southern
Senators into voting for high duties on
cotton manufactures by the threat of
leStrucuon to the cotton manufacture
nS industry. he has offered every
form OF trade to get Southern votes
Scarcely Southern Senator but has
been approached at one time or an
other by Aldrich or his lieutenants
with proposal to put something in
to the bill or take something out and
wherever there is reason for believ-
ing that the Southern Senate is will

that he Is expected to vote for the
Iottolf Scfleuuic ana the WOOL Scnpd-
ale. which Aldrich has declared from
the very citadel of the protective
SYSTEM 1t is asserted here that
Aldrich has succeeded with some
southern Senators who will vote for
he high duties on cotton goods While
this assertion is being made by those
who are trying to diScredit the Demo-
cratic party in favor of the sO-called
progressive Republicans there is rea-
son to fear that two or three so-called
Democrats might vote for high pro
lection on cotton goods.

1Z.-WireleSs telegraph played a
prominent part in the saving of the
crew and passengers OF the Cunard
lin" steamer Slavonia, now a total
wreck two miles southwest Of Flores
Islands. The wireless feat of the
steamer Republic was equalled, if not
tXEelled. The steamer Princess Irene
was $50 miles away when the thrilling
caIl cop was picked up. Immedi-
at"Iy upon receipt of the message the
operator flashed back his answer and
learned the location OF the stricken
ship. The Princess Irene then hast
cred at full speed to the rescue and
every soul on board the SlaNonia was
saved.
It was shortly before the midnight
OF Wednesday, June .. that the wire
less, distress signal was received on
board the Princess Irene. The Oper-
ator answered. and immediately got
q message in reply, saying the Slavonla
was ashore. and where. and asking
the Princess Irene to come TO her as
SiStance.
At the time the Princess Irene
was $50 mills distant from the Sla-
Nonja. Her course was at once chang
ed, and she went ahead at fun speed,
fifteen knots an hour. to the designat-
ed location. two miles southwest Of
Flores island.
The Princess Irene arrived aion gside
the Sldvonia Thursday afternoon. 1t
was arranged that She should take on
board the cabin passengers of the
Cubard Liner and work to that end
was at once begun. All Thursday

GERMS IN HER SYSTEN
Every Woman Should Read This


The number of diseases peculiar to
woman is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain mere
fact that most of these diseases are
of a catarrhal nature A woman
cannot be we'll if there is a trace of
the catarrhal germs in her system.
Some women think there is no
help for them. We positively declare
this to be q mistaken idea. We are
so sure of this that we offer to sup
ply medicine absolutely free of all
cost in every instance where it fails
to give entire satisfaction or does
not substantiate our claims With
this understanding, no woman should
hesitate to believe our honesty of
purpose. or hesitate to put our claims
to a test.
There is only one way to cure
Catarrh. That way is through the
blood. You may use all the snuffs,
douches or like remedies for years
without getting more than temporary
relief at best Catarrh is caused by
a germ. That germ is carried by the
blood to the innermost part of the
system until the mucos membrane is
broken, irritation and Inflammation
produced, and a flow of mucous re-
suits, and you can probably realize
how silly it is to attempt to cure
such an ailment unless you take
medicine that follows the same course
as the germ or parasite.
Rexall Mucu-TOne is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for thirty
years made his speciality Catarrh,
and with this medicine he averaged
9S per cent of cures where it was
employed. No other remedy is so
properly designed for the ailments of
woman. 1t will purify and enrich the
blood, stop mucous discharge. de-
stroy all germ matter, remove all i'm
purities from the system, soothe,
heal and strengthen the mucous tis-
sues, and bring about a good feeling
of health and strength.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our guarantee. If you are
not benefited, or for any reason not
satisfied, simply tell US and we will
hand back your money. Rexal
Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, Soc
and $1.00. Fred A. Shows drug store,
