Washington. D. C\, December 12 —
The assembling < f the members of the
Demi oral ic national committee in this
city today marks the beginning of rlt •
Democratic presidential campaign of
1908. The purpose of the meeting is
to decide upon the time and pine-’
for holding the national convention
that will name the candidates foi
president and vice president. Cliica
go, St. I/Ottis and Denver are engaged
in an active fight for the honor of
entertaining t.he delegates and the
crowd of shouters and visitors that
go to make up a national convention.
Several other cities would like lo hav,.
the convention, among them Cincin
nati, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Louis
ville. The chances of most, if not all.
of the cities last named are rendered
exceedingly small by their inability
cither to make good with the necessa
ry cash bonus or to guarantee the hall 1
and hotel accommodations necessary
to a gathering of such magnitude.
The convention next year will be the
twentieth notional assemblage of the
Democratic party. Among the vet
eran Democratic leaders in the city to
day, some as members of the nation
al committee, others holding seats in
congress, there has naturally been an
exchange of recollections in regard
lo the conventions that have gone by
intermingled with speculation as to
the convention that Is to come. There
are many leaders here who have at
tended a half a dozen of the Demo
cratic national conventions.

Columbus, Ga., December 12.—The
depot of the Central of Georgia rail

the excitement to enter the residence

When the people at the Sallas home
were awakened hy the fire and ran to
the scene they took the precaution
to lock tiie house and Mr. Sallas also
took his money with him, carrying it
to the store. While they were at the
fire burglars battered in a window at
the residence and went In, but could
not find no money or Jewelry, and so
far as known took only a shot gun.

“THE GREAT DIVIDE”
AT COLONIAL GOON
Stay-at-liomes who have not visited
New York City during the past two
years, will soon have tan opportunity
to discuss intelligently the greatest
dramatic success of the past decade
with their more fortunate neighbors
who have had the advantage of a
Broadway view of "The Great Divide"
during the two years run in the me
tropolis. for William Vaught Moody's
vividly vital American drama is to he
presented at the Colonial at an early
date under the direction of Henry Mil
ler, who produced and presented "Th?
Great Divide" at his Princess Thea
tre, and later at Daly’s Theatre. New
York, where it attained a record-
breaking run of over five hundred
performances.

HOW HE HAS
MADE A SUCCESS

Cured of Bright’s Disease.
Mr. Robert O. Burke, Elnora, N. Y„
writes: "Before I started to use Fo
ley’s Kidney Cure I had to get up from
twelve to twenty times a night, and
I was all bloated up with dropsy and
my eyesight was so impaired I could
scarcely see one of my family across
the room. I had given up hope of liv
ing, when a friend recommended Fo
ley’s Kidney Cure. One 50 cent-bot
tle worked wonders and before I had
taken the third bottle the dropsy had
gone, aa-well as all other symptoms
of Bright’s disease.” Sold by all drug

No man in recent years has been
more successful in restoring human
health than L. T. Cooper. During his
stay in Chicago, and while he was
meeting thousands of people daily, he
gave the following reason for the re
markable demand for his medicine to
a reporter:
Mr. Cooper said: "My new Discov
ery is successful because it corrects
the stomach. My theory is that few
can be sick if the digestive apparatus
is working properly. It naturally fol
lows that few can be well with a poor
digestion.
"I know the inexperience that most
of the tired, half-sick people that are
so common now-a-days have half-sick
stomachs. Put the stomach in shape,
and nature does the rest. The result
is general good health. My medicine
dots this. That is why fifty thousand
people here in Chicago are using it
who never Beard of me until a month
ago."
Among the fifty thousand mention
ed by Mr. Cooper who used his medi
cine in Chicago is Mrs. Hilda Pflueg-
er, living at 1203 Ainslie Avenue.
This is the statement she makes con
cerning her experience with the med
icine:
I have been sick for six years with
stomach trouble. I was always hun-
. hut did not dare to oat much, as
I had severe pains in my stomach, and
also through my body. I could not
sleep at night ind was very restless.
1 was also very nervous, and would
have severe headaches. I was consti
pated .and always felt bloated after
fating.
"1 had tried many remedies, but
could secure no relief, until one day
I noticed in th e newspapers what
wonderful results Cooper's medicines
were ttcoomplishing In Chicago. 1 de
cided to try them, and shortly after
commencing the treatment I began to
feel .better. 1 did not have those
severe pains in my stomach, and I
could sleep at night; my appetite Im
proved, and 1 can now eat well. I
am feeling like a new woman.
"I am very thankful to Mr. Cooper
for what his remedies have done for
n.?. They have restored me to good
health, and I would advise any one
who suffers as I did to try them."
