A TONIC LAXATIVE
ma, Up-to Family Medicine That Should
Every Home.

preventive to disease is the thing 7
wish chiefly to emphasize.
A slight condition of constipation
may lead to serious sluggishness OF
the bowels, bilousness, re-absorption
Of poisonous material and finally
sickness. Or apathy of the stomach
in which the food is not relshed, may
gradually lead 10 atomic dyspepsia or
to the acquisition of some acute dis.
ease. For either one OF these condi-
tons a few doses of the tonic laxative
Peruna would set matters right. This
Is why the remedy should always be
kept handy by.
When once the value OF Peruna as a
household remedy is understood no
home would be without it, Cathartics,
pills and powers would be discarded.
Irritating tOnics would be no longer
taken. Alcoholic drinks would have
no place. With a few doses OF Peruna
a vigorous appetite is produced and
il there be any sluggishness of the
bowels their function is gradually re-
stored.
Most laxatives are weakening in
their effect. A tonic laxative guards
against this weakening effect. Until
right living has become so thoroughly
estab ished that all medicines are su.
perfiuous. Peruna will be needed. II
is exactly the remedy that meets
numerous necessities of the house
hold. Sold at all drug stores.

cLARK'S FRIENDS PLAN FINISH FIGHT WITHOUT CON-
 PROMISE.
BRYAN ANGERS DELEGATES
His Attacks Upon New York and Vir- ginia Delegates Precludes Pos slbility of Cooperation With
 Progressive Element.

Convention Hall, Baltimore, Juno 29. The Democratic nomInaG:on To- pres ident may go to dark horse.
 A stubborn deadlock sure to extend through many ballots is now in sight.
 The Clark forces will under no cir cumstances accept a compromise can didate-with the friends of the speaker it is Clark or a straight out defeat
 The conservative element has been so embittered by Bryan-notably the New York and Virginia delegates-that any deal on their part with the Com moner is out of the question,
 Bryan and Wilson men would, If necessary, vote for Kern, but there would be no compromise in this for Kern's only strength is that given to him by Bryan
 Harmon and Underwood continue factors, and the vote of their delegates may finally break the deadlock
 Senator James A. Reed declared that he thought Clarks chances were better than they were twelve hours ago. Senator William Joel Stone ex- pressed the same opinion. It is be- lieved, however, that the Missourian has lost strength within the last forty eight hours
 The entire night was consumed in 3 flow of oratory seldom equaled in American politics.
 Dark clouds of dissension lowered. over the convention hall when Will liam Jennings Bryan planned the po- ltical crucifiction of Charles Mur- ply, August Belmont and William Fortune Ryan.

FIND ARSENIC IN BODIES
Autopsy Indicates Poisoning of Illus band and Daughter of Accused
 Chicago Woman.

Chicago, June 29.-Prof. Walter s. Maines reported to Coroner Hoffman that he had found arsenic in the wis cera of William Lindloff and in that of Alma Lindloff husband and daughter, respectively of Mrs. Louise Lindloff, who is held at the county jail on a charge of killing her son Arthur.
 Enough poison to cause death has been found in the body of the girl, Prof. Haines reported. The examina- tion of William Lindloffs viscera has not been finished.
 On receiving the chemists report, Coroner Hoffman began planning for the exhumation of the body of Frieda Graunke, another daughter of Mrs. Lindloff, who died June II, 1908.
The Prescott daily news., 1912-06-29

MT. Bryan was cheered, however as he offered the following sensational resolution:
 Resolved, That in this crisis of our party's career, and in our country's history, this convention sends greet ing to the people of the United States. and assures them the party of lief ferson and of Jackson is still the champion of popular government and equality before the law. As proof of our fidelity to the people, we hereby declare ourselves opposed to the nom- nation of any candidate for president who is the representative of or under obligations to J. Pierpont Morgan, Thomas F. Ryan, August Belmont. or any other members of the privilege. hunting and favor-seeking class.
 Be it further resolved That we de mand the withdrawal from this con vention of any delegate or delegates constituting or representing the above named interests"
 The oratory of Reed and Westcott and other finished speakers had a ten dency to pacify the discordant note injected by the commoner, but that many delegates are very bitter cannot be denied
 The Clark and the Wilson ovations, as well as the demonstration to Un- derwood, evidenced the popularity of these statesmen.
 Women Stay All Night.
 It required many hours for the forces of the warning factions to pre- pare for the battle of the ballots The arms and ammunition of the smartest political warriors of the Democratic party were all ready when the pre- liminary skirmish, the initial ballot was taken at 7:10 Friday morning.
 The remarkable feature of the all night vigil was the fact that the fair sex stuck to their seats. They were determined to be participants in the most memorable Democratic conven- ton in the history of the party It was a tiresome ordeal for the beauti- apeake who chaperoned their women guests. It had been a night of dissi- patton with them, and as the gray dawn appeared the luster and sparkle of the eyes of women disappeared.
 Strong men whose nerves and brains have been taxed for the past four days evidenced their strain.
 Governor Marshall looks like the winner of the second place on the ticket. He was given a big ovation when his name was presented for the presidency at 5 o'clock this morning.

through the aisles singing:


 Clark can win in a walk"
 In the center of the auditorium huge banners and flags were waved by en thusiastic friends of the speaker. The band tried to play but the music was drowned by the wave of the cheering. Men and women stood on their seats, yelling at the top of their voices. The demonstration lasted an hour and five minutes.
 J. T. Robinson, governor-elect of Arkansas, then took the platform tu second the nomination of Clark.
 Robinson talked just five minutes. California seconded the nomination of Clark; Colorado was passed Then came Connecticut, and Henry Wade Rogers of New Haven took the plat. form to nominate Gov, Simeon E. Baldwin of Connecticut. He closed at 2 a. m, and a brief demonstration for Baldwin followed

After an exceedingly noisy, but oth- erwse orderly all-night session, the first ballot in the Democratic national convention at 7:10 a. m. Friday showed Champ Clark of Missouri. the leading candidate for the presidency, to be lacking 2S51a votes of the num- Der necessary to nominate him under the two-thirds rule. The number of votes required on basis of 10SS votes in the convention is 725, Previously the convention had voted to exclude from the balloting the six delegates from the Philippine Islands.
 The result of the first ballot was a disappointment to Clark's managers. They had figured on his getting in eX- cess of 500 votes. The Wilson strength was gratifying to his supporters, who looked for steady gains. Gov. Wilson, the next candidate to Clark, received 324 votes. or 412 less than he needed. Wilson is in better shape than Clark, who is scheduled to lose votes when the convention, which recessed at 715, resumes balloting at o'clock.
 Six candidates were placed in nom ination: Oscar Underwood of Ala bama, Champ Clark of Missouri, Wood row Wilson of New Jersey, Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana, Judson Harmon of Ohio, and Simeon F. Baldwin of Connecticut.
 At 6 o'clock the convention had been in session ten hours. Many delegates in fhpir Gpatl the QaIlpr- ies were all but empty the policemen were red-eyd and weary, but the flood of oratory went on.
 The name of Gov Burke of North Dakota was withdrawn and the votes pledged to Wilson.
 At 210 a. m. New Jersey was rec ognized to nominate Woodrow Wilson and a wild demonstration began.
 Despite the heat and the length of the session the galleries were still crowded with men and women.
 Already there had been demonstra- tions for Underwood and Clark, the latter the most vociferous of the con- vention.
 Delegates Join in Clark Ovation.
 Unlike the Underwood demonstra- tion, the applause for Clark was gen eral in the delegates section as we'll as in the galleries
 Pictures of Clark were borne by hundreds down stairs and up. Two thousand little red balloons were turned loose and delegates marched

views of present day conditions.
Kirkland, about twenty miles from
Cleveland, and the seat of the old
Mormon Temple, is Mr.. Rockefeller's
favorite destiny on his drives and he
will spend the larger part of day
there wandering about the village,
talking to everybody. He goes into
the village grocery, buys up a big
stock of candy and then distributes II
among the children.
But few know who he is and most
often he is referred to as the "old
gentleman in the gray suit"
Rockefeller was always fond OF
children. but as he grows older this
trait becomes strongey, and seldom
does day pass during the summer
that he does not have his chauffeur
pick up a bunch of Riddles alonl
the road, and take them for a spin.
Sometimes he will take them t
their homes. and great is the excite
ment in the Italian settlement, no
far from Forrest Hill, when the biz
gray automobile drives up to the doc
of a humble home and deposits a hal
dozen youngsters.
But the oil king enjoys this NOR
than he does giving away a million
dollars.
