WEIGH YOURSELF BEFORE USING

Weigh yourself before commencing
to use Samose, the great flesh-form-
ing food. The wonderful sale on this
preparation since first introduced in
Topeka and the remarkable results
following it's use have made Geo. w.
Stansfield, druggist, $50 Kansas ave-,
Topeka, such an enthusiastic believer
in the great value of Samose that he
gives his personal guarantee to refund
the money if Samose will not make
thin people fat and restore strength
and health to those who use it.
This is a strong guarantee, but Geo.
w. Stansfield has seen SO many of his
customers who a few weeks ago
looked like walking skeletons become
plump and well. through the use of
Samose that he feels he can not say
too much to induce people to try it.
This marvellous felsh-forming food
is assimilated as soon as it is taken
into the stomach makes good rich
blood, tones up the weakened system,
helps to assimilate the food and
makes the user plump, well and rosy.

COTTON STATES LEAGUE
Standing of Teams.

Columbus lost to Meridian
Yesterday afternoon, the visitors
having won by a score of 2 to |.
The one lone run credited to Co
lumbus was made in the fourth
inning, while Meridian made
both of hers in the sixth. Red.
ding and Wicks composed the
local lbatery, while Eaton and
Mueller were at the points for
Meridian.
AS rule baseball teams make
a better showing on home
grounds than on the road, but
there are exceptions to all rules.
and the recent record Of the To-
Gals proved an exception. The
Columbians, after having won
i've out of six games on the road.
celebrated their homecoming
Thursday afternoon by losing to
Meridian by a score of 8 to 2.
The game was slow and one.sided.
and the spectators were not sorry
when it was called at the close of
the seventh inning on account of
rain.
Payne was in the box for the
locals. ahd gave up eleven hits,
while Collins. who did the twirl-
ing for the visitors. yielded only
seven. Payne was not only hit
freely but received poor support
in the field. no less than seven
errors having been made by his
team mates.
Meridian had another easy vic
tory Friday afternoon, having
won the game by a score OF 5 to
j. She started her run getting
IN the first inning. when one man
crossed the plate. Three more
runs were annexed in the third
and one in the fifth. Columbus
made all three of her tallies in
the ninth inning. The locals
rallied in the final round. and at
one time had a chance to tie the
score. After the three runs had
been made there were two men
on bases and two down, and
when Poole, who was pitching
for Columbus, went to the bat
the fans hoped he would rap out
a safety and bring the two men
in. He failed to connect with
the spheroid, however, and the
last chance of the Columbians to
win the game went glimmering.
Umpire Kennedy gave Columbus
the hot end of several close de
cisIsns, and his action awakened
the wrath of local rooters. who
hooted and jeered him consider
ably.

Promoters Of Memphis, colum-
bus and Gull Railroad Decide
to Materially Elaborate
Their Plans

The promoters Of the Memphis.
Columbus and Cult railroad have
materially elaborated their plans,
and will extend the line to De-
mopolis, Ala, instead of making
Aiceville the southern terminus,
as was at first proposed.
By extending the line 10 De-
mopolis the promoters will not
only secure valuable rail con-
nections but will get an outlet to
the Gulf o, Mexico and thence to
the Atlantic ocean. This outlet
comes via the Warrior and Tom
bigbee rivers. the latter stream
being perennially navigable as
far up as DemopoIis.
The route of the road as at
present contemplated is from
Okolona to Aberdeen. thence. via
Caledonia, to Columbus, thence
over the route of the old Forrest
road to Pickensville. Ala. and
thence, via Aliceville. to Demopo-
lis.
The line follows a southeasterly
course and traverses a country
which is not only practically
without railroad facilities but
which is very fertile.
While Okolona will at first be
the northern terminus of the
line, it is the intention of the
promoters to later build on to
Memphis. and this is why the
name of the Bluff City is included
In the title.
Okolona and Aberdeen have
each voted $4,000 for terminals
and right Of way and the people
Of Columbus will at an early date
vote on the question Of denating
$50. 900 for the same purpose.
Mr.. G. T. Heard, one of the
promoters Of the road, has gone
to New York for the purpose of
obtaining financial assistance,
and it is probable that the work
of construction will begin at an
early date.

CLARK MO WILSON LEADING
Baltimore Convention ADJOURN
ed About Il O'clock Last
Night Without Having
Reached Nomination

After having taken twenty
six ballots without reaching a
nomination. the National Demo
cratic Convention adjourned
about midnight last night until
II o'clock Monday morning.
Speaker Clark had a big lead up
to yesterday afternoon. but late
in the day Wilson began to gain,
and on the closing ballot was
only a few votes behind the
speaker.
The convention is hopelessly
deadlocked. and there is no tell
ing when a nomination will be
On the final ballot last night
the vote stood: Clark. 463 :;
Wilson 407 =; Underwood, ll2R;
Harmon, 29; Marshall. 30; Bryan,
/; Foss. 43
The first ballot was taken early
Friday morning. and. as was ex
pected. Speaker Clark led al 9TH
er candidates. He received 440ls
votes. to 324 for Woodrow Will
son. his nearest rival. This,
however. left the speaker 2S5
votes short of the necessary two
thirds. Governor Judson Har-
mon of Ohio, aided by New
York's solid block of 80 votes.
was third, with l48. while Oscar
w. Underwood of Alabama re-
ceived 117h votes.
William Jennings Bryan of
got one vote from the
Ohio delegation. Some of his
friends had expected that he
would receive more scattering
votes, but the. fact that he show
ed no strength on the first ballot
did not discourage them, and
they felt that in the event of a
deadlock. which at that time
seemed probable. Mr.. Bryan
might be turned to again lead
his party in the presidential race.
The voting continued practi-
cally unchanged up to the tenth
ballot, when sensational break
in the New York delegation car
ried Clark to total of $50 out of
the 1,098 delegates, but still left
him ITO votes short of the two
thirds necessary to a choice.
AS soon as it was announced
that the New York delegation
had switched to Clark Mr.. Bryan
gained the floor, and said that its
did not represent the
best intelligence of that srate.
He declared that the thinking
people of the Empire State would
not support a candidate indorsed
by Murphy.
The platform upon which the
party will stand bristles with
progressivism. The document,
which was completed late Friday.
is the result of forty-eight hours
Of deliberation on the part of the
committee. 1t is almost an en-.
tirely new document, although
the recommendations of the New
York delegation were followed
in many particulars.
From first to last, the commit
tees deliberations were char
acterized by the utmost harmony.
The unanimous demand was for
the most pronounced declarations
in favor of progressive policies
and the only difference in opinion
arose over the best method of
expressing this tendency.
The result is a platform of
generally advanced views, al
though many of them are less
radical than the party declara-
tons Of other years.
The document covers every
subject of importance which has
been the subject of party dis
cussion during the last four
years. None of them is elabor-
ately presented. but the large
number of.subjects renders it
somewhat voluminous.
