Mr.. HURST Is
NOT A CANDIDATE
Business Affairs Will Not Permit of
Accepting Democratic Congress
sionaI Nomination.

According to the Burlington pa
pers, some Of the members of the
democratic congressional committee
Of the Fourteenth district met in
that city last Friday evening and de-
cided to place the name of Hon. E
w. Hurst of this city on the demo
cratic ticket for congress in the forth
coming election. 1t is stated in the
same connection that the nomination
was made on the theory that Mr..
Hurst being abroad, he would prob
ably not return in time to withdraw
before the time for the fling of de-
clinations.
Prier to Mr.. Hurst's departure on
his last flying trip to Europe, he
made very plain his position, relative
to the democratic nomination this
year. Up to that time he had been
frequently discussed throughout the
to make the race, but he stated then
as he does now, since his return, that
although fully mindful and sincerely
appreciative of the honor paid him,
he cannot consent to be considered
a candidate. He has been away so
1>uch during the year that his bust
ness affairs will not permit of his
devoting the time to politics that
he would like to.
81 appreciate to the utmost the
honor that has been paid me both
by the committee and the democrats
of the district, who have mentioned

gressional nomination" said Mr..
Hurst today, ''but 1 cannot consent

of my name In connection with the

Special Trains Bring Many.
Three special trains over the Rock

ftors from Monmouth and Galesburg
this morning. The first of the three
trains arrived about 9:20. and it was
followed shortly afterwards by the sec
ond. Each of these two contained six
coaches and the third one which ar
rived shortly before noon, had three
coaches. Many who expected to make
the trip failed to do 80 on account
of the storm last night and the not
overly bright prospects for today. ..
There were three bands aboard the
trains in addition to several labor
unions from the two cities and as
they were too late to take part in
the main parade. they formed and
had a parade OF their own. The line
of march was west on Second to
Eighteenth, south to Third avenue
and east to Twenty-fourth street and
then back to the starting place, where
they disbanded.

Edward Wyman was shot down with

Wyman died at 1905 at the Moline

He remained conscious until the end,
and gave the police authorities the
details of the tragedy, although unable
to describe his assailants further than
to say that they were both negroes.
Wyman's home is at Third avenue
and Twenty-third street. He was on
his way from a neighboring saloon
with a bucket of beer, when he was
halted by the pair of blacks. One of
them placed a revolver in front of Mr.
Wyman's face and ordered that he

to issue the new securities for invest
ment purposes only at a rate of per
cent.
AS a check against the use of the
bonds as the basis for further infla-
tion of the national bank currency, he
suggests that circulation tax of even
per cent would have the effect of
making them Improbable for banks to
use for such purpose and at the
same time would make them attractive
to investors without injuring the per
cent bonds of which more than $780,
100000 are outstanding. Another
means of accomplishing the same end
the secretary suggests, would be for
congress to authorize an issue of $780,
600 900 or S100,00O,000 of the bonds at
per cent without the circulation pro-
vision.
If there is no prospect of Immediate
change in the monetary system the
secretary thinks the American nation
al banking system should be developed
to perform an international function.

FAMILY COUGH SYRUP
Cures Any Cough in Five Hours.
NEW PRESCRIPTION HERE.

Here is given the most effective
cough prescription known to the med
ical world. 1t is mild laxative, too,
and this is what a body needs when
suffering with cough and cold on the
lungs. A cough or cold indicates poi
sons in the system, causing infiamma-
ton and congestion. Nearly all
cough syrups relieve, but make the
trouble worse by their constipating eff
fects. This prescription not only re-
lieves, quickly, bnt it cures any cough
that Is durable. Get one-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce COM
pound essence cardiol and three
ounces syrup white pine compound.
Mix in bottle. Take for acute cough
or bronchitis twenty drops every half
hour for four hours. Then one-haIf
to one teaspoonfuI three or four times
daily Give children less according
to age. A few hours treatment will
cure and heal the throat and lungs OF
all but consumptives. Cut this out and
give it to some friend who may need

Secretary MacVeagh strongly recon-

secretary pays a high tribute to the

could be conducted with a saving OF

Secretary MacVeagh says:
The popular impression an to the
extent of possible economies in the adj
mlnistration of the executive depart
ments is singularly exaggerated and
this misconception is very harmful.
When the public expects that the gov
eminent can save $500, 000, 900 a wear.
such small laborious savings as can
pc made In tire executive departments
hardly seem worth while And it is
astonishing that under such circum-
stances these comparatively small saw
lngs can be maintained. These savings
can only be disappointing to the pub
lie who have such figures as 5000 000s

any popular credit, for they can only
seem TO be small trifiings with great
things. And vet they can only be nro-
duced by laborfous, painstaking and

see that there probably is not very

on which to save 100000, 900. Now |
