How often has that statement been repeated, while tho Beaver man con tinues to win ! A KORMKH Democratic Congress man from this state says that the best thing that can happen for his party and for the country is the re nomination of Bryan, another fight for and final defeat of free coinage. It is impossible, he belieyes, for the Democracy to win in 1000. If the coinage issue could be shelved there is nothing in sight to replace it, from a Democratic standpoint. Henry O. Havkmktku has made the discovery that the tariff Is re sponsible for the trusts. As Mr. Havemeyer is a patriot, it is only fair to presume that he would be obliged to Congress should it remove the duty of three and a half per cent, ad valorem on refined sugar. A good way to test the soundness of the Havemeyer view would be to give the Sugar Trust the full benefit of free trade for a season. Chairman Elkin, of the Republi can state commlttee,has decided upon Thursday, August 24, as the date for the Republican state convention, and if the majority of the members of the state committee agree with him, which they undoubtedly will, the convention will be held on that date. Chairman Elkin will not call a meet ing of the state committee to decide the question. He has written to each member of the committee. As soon as a majority respond in the afurnia. tivo, which it is expected they will in a few days, he will send out the formal call for the convention. IT Is stated that there are twenty houses of ill-repute in Shenandoah Some ply their nefarious business with no disguise, others have very thin pretences of being business places, while the majority nre con ducted with as much secrecy ns can be maintained, which, however, is not sufficient to prevent their being known to the general public. Only last week a mother was compelled to resort to the law to put her minor daughter out of the reach of these dens which, despite her youth, she had become a frequenter of. On Sunday last, the police force were scathingly denounced from the pulpit. These places should not exist and it should not be difficult to dispose of them. A condition somewhat similar existed a few years ajro, but the deter mined stand taken by the police soon disposed of them. Our guardians of the peace should act, and at once. The Value of Advertising. The value of newspaper advertising has received a number of striking illustrations in New York during the past half year. An observer notes the fact three or four dry goods houses that went into liquidation in the winter were the only ones of the greater department stores that never advertised in the newspapers. On the other hand the great advertisers have all enjoyed great prosperity. One of "these, which was expected would fall, come out f 000,000 ahead on the year's business. Only bold advertising carried it over the rocks which threatened. The results of wise advertising are highly satisfactory to those who spend their money in this way. One New York firm that had a new article to put on the market last winter and spent $100,000 in newspaper advertis ing reported later that it was com polled to refuse to take any new business. The orders fairly swamped the house, though it had diameter and ample capital. Those instances of business sagacity are well worth the attention of the business world. Intelligent new paper advertising always brings better returns than any other forms of advertising. Experience has taught all of our most successful merchants that it is necessary to keep in touch with the publie, and the only practicable means is the news paper.

Hud Been Itobblnir the Malls Rearu- lnrly Since Juno 1. Chicago, June 21. What Is regarded by Poatofflce Inspector James Stuart as ono of the largest and boldest mall robberies in the history of the Chicago postolfice was detected yesterday, and the arrests of Walter Porter and John Newman, drivers of mall wagons, fol lowed. Porter, made a full confession, implicating Newman. A large amount of letters, money orders and packages taken by the men was found In their lodging house on South Halsted street. In the pile were letters, money orders and checks directed to all parts of tho country and Europe. One check found In the pile was for $20,000. The fact that the robbers had been In the em ploy of the Chicago postoffice since June 1, and that all the thefts were committed since that time, while the prisoners were driving their wagons, makes the scheme one of the boldest in the recollection of the police in spectors. The mall was all taken from pouches while being carried in the wagons and from railroad stations, and it has bean admitted that three sacks were taken in one day. The pris oners will not admit that they secured much of value from their depreda tlons, hut declare that they would have been considerably richer had their scheme not been discovered so soon.

In thn Aliened Abduction era Tonne .Mini by III Aunt. Detroit, June 21. Moses Fowler Chara, aged 21, alleged to be mentally Incompetent nnd reputed to be worth $000,000. was abducted from tho Hotol Cadillac Inat Monday night. Hs had1 been a patient at a sanitarium In Fllnt.l and was on route to his homo In La-! fayotto, lnd accompanied by htsi father, Fredorlck Chaso, a lawyer.. When the fathor nnd son arrived here the young man's aunt met thorn at tho, depot and hurrlod tho youth to tho Cadillac. The father was unsuspicious of any unlawful Intent. Sunday night a carriage drove up to the hotel and young Chaso was talcon to tho Clove land boat, wltfch, In tho company nt his aunt and two unknown mon, he boarded. On reaching Cleveland the party took a train for Cincinnati. From there they went east to Albany, N Y., whore tho private detective that tho father had employed to watch them lost sight of the party. Extradition papers wore yesterday made out In an ticipation of the party's arrest by tho Now York authorities. The fortune that young Chase pos sesses Is revcrtlblo to tho aunt up n his death, which, It Is aliased, fur nishes tho motive for tho supposed abduction. Tho father and young Chase's attorney believe that the ob ject of the alleged abductors Is to taka tho young man out of the country. It Is slated that upon young Chase at taining his majority tho fatlier'H guardianship ceased, and that the father was taking him to Lafeyette for tho purpose of himself being continued as his guardian by order of tho pro bate court.

Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by Dieting a Dangerous and Useless Onet Wo say the old wayt but really It Is a very common one at tho prosent time and insny dyspeptics and physicians is well constdor the first step to talto in attempting to euro indigestion Is to diet, cither by selecting cortniu foods and rejecting others or to really diinlulsli tho quanlty usually taken, in other words the starvation plan Is sup posed by many to bo the first essential, The almost certain falluro of the starva tion euro has bcon provon time and again, but still the moment dyspepsia makes Its ap pearance a course of dieting is at onco ad vised. All this Is radically wrong. It Is foolish and unscientific to recommend dieting to a mau suffering from dyspepsia, becauso indi gestion Itself starves every organ, every norvo and every flkro In tho body. . What the dyspeptic wants Is abundant nutrition, which moans plonty of good, wholesome well cooked food, and something to assist tho weak stomach to digest It. This tsoxactly the purpose, for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets nre adapted and this Is tho method by which they euro tho worst casts of dyspepsia, in other words the patient cats plenty of wholesome food and Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets digests It for him. In this way tho system Is nourished and tho over worked stomach rested, becauso the tablets will digest the food whether tho stomach woiks or not. Ono f these tablets will digest 3,000 grains of meat or eggs, Your diuggist will tell you that Stuart's Tablets Is the purest and safest remedy for stomach troubles and every trial makes ono moro friend for this excellent preparation.
