Flinn says Quay can never Avln.

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.

A FORTUNE AT STAKB .35?
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. I

THE OLD WAY.
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.
