DISCUSSES BY MEN
FOR PARTY WEAL
YKW YORK, April 17.—A resolu
tion Intended to secure the publica
tion of the contributions made to the
Republican and Democratic commit
tees at the last national canvas*, was
offered yesterday at a special meeting of
the national publicity law organiza
tion. It was entirely unexpected and
caused a lively discussion. The meet
ing had been called by President Per
ry Erlmont to further the movement
for an effective national publicity law
which would require a public record
Of campaign contributions and expen
ditures. The resolution, which was
offered by Alexander Troup, of Con
necticut, a member of the National
Democratic Committee, requested the
chairman and secretaries of the Re
publican and Democratic national
committees of the last national cam
paign to make public all their re
ceipts and expenditures of the cam
paign. This resolution was offered by
Mr. Troup after he had quoted from a
newspaper dispatch from Washington,
in which It was stated that President
Roosevelt wanted the campaign books
opened in the next national canvass.
"I think the public wants the books
of the last campaign opened.” exclaim
ed Mr. Troup who added that in 1904
the President had indignantly denied
that large sums of money had been
contributed to the Republican cam
paign fund. At this moment Senator
Chandler Interrupted Mr. Troup.
Injustice to the President,
"I think you are doing the Pres!?

to appear as his defender In this re

the seed sown in 1890 and 1900 and
kept alive ever since by the eloquence
of Wm. J. Bryan, a grandson of Vlr-
glnln. and encouraged by the voice and
mandate of Theodore Roosevelt, who
will no doubt be ready to place him In
nomination at the next Democratic
national convention."
Thl* allusion to a recent meeting
In the South, at which a speaker sug
gested that Mr. Hryan ghould nomi
nate Mr. Roosevelt for the PPresi-
dency. waa greeted with cheering.
Mr. Tyler went on to say that the peo
ple of the South are practically united
for Mr. Bryan and that the mention
of his name is as potent in flashing
a magic spell of enthusiasm as It was
In '9*. He believed the millions of
American voters would never forsake
the banner of Mr. Bryan.
A message from the Southern De
mocracy wns delivered by Represent
ative Ollle James, of Kentucky, who
added an emphatic word In behalf of
old Democratic faith. “We would
guard with vigilance and courage." he
I said, "State rights and local self-gov
ernment. hut the nomocracy believes
that the Democratic party stands as a
great divide between monopolistic
greed on one hand and socialistic ruin
on the other.”
Mr. James hailed Mr. Bryan as one
of the pioneers of the Democratic party
and added: ,
"The Southern Democracy tonight
gathers about Wm. J. Bryan- for the
blooming flowers of Florida to the
waving blue grass of Kentucky
Democracy of all Dixie proclaims
that It waits Bryan to lead In the next
great fight. The South says of Bryan:
"For twelve long years we have
made on the strength of promises .to
do something.
“I accept the correction,** paid Mr!
Troup, “but Mr. Cortelyou knew dif
ferently. He should not have deceiv
ed the President. He should have told
him. What the President claims he
was In utter ignorance, th9 chairman
of his national committee knew
about."
Mr. Troup then proceeded to offer
his resolution. At first he included
only the Republican National commit
tee but at a suggestion from a member
that this would be a partisan move
ment. Mr. Troup changed his resolu
tion that U took in also the Demo
cratic National committee. This chafige
was accepted by many members aa
being wisely reasonable.
Mr. Troup wanted the resolution
adopted immediately, but several
speakers expressed the opinion that
early action would not be good policy.
Eventually a compromise was reached
and the matter was referred to the
executive committee with the under
standing that it would make a report
at some future meeting of the associa
tion to be called by the president.
Warfield to Punish Violators.
A statement that he intended to pros
ecute all people who used large sums
of money at the next election In his
State was made by Governor Warfield
of Maryland. In a vigorous speech
Governor Warfield declared that he
stood firmly opposed to the corrupt
use of money in elections He wanted
a bill passed In his State limiting
the amount of money which any can

To Guard Her Health at Im

When Her Physical Con-
v/ dition Will Decide Ji
Her Future.
It is useless to tell a hard-working
woman to take life easy and not to
worry.
But it is the duty of every woman
as she approaches the age of forty to
save her strength as much as possi
ble, to take her cares as lightly as
may be and to build up her system to
meet any unusual demands upon 1L It
is a duty not only to herself but to her
family for her future health depends
upon it.
To guard against & complete break
down in health, the blood must be
kept pure and rich. No other medi
cine does this so well as Dr. Williams’
Pink Pllla for they act both on the
blood and the nerves, restore the ap
petite, and keep every organ toned up.
All women cannot rest whenever they
should but this strengthening medi
cine Is within every woman’s reach.
Mrs. Mary J. McDan'el, of 1172 N.
Church St, Decatur, I1L. found Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills Just the tonic
she needed, even after she was com
pletely broken-down In health and ap
parently beyond the help of medicine.
She says:
' “I became run-down In health a few
years ago and for over six months
grew worse daily, with no prospect of
relief. I suffered from such terrible
pains In the top of my head that I
thought I should go crazy. My limbs
were always codd and I was often so
dizzy and short of breath that I could
ex ~ hardly get about the house. My blood
waa thin and I lost over thirty pounds
In weight. Many days I had to give
up and go to bed.
"My doctor said he could not help
me and later when I had.a hacking
cough feared I might go into con
sumption. I read about Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills in our paper and had my
husband bring some of them home.
They helped me so much that I used
them until entirely cured. I have been
able ever since to do all of my work
with ease., I have the greatest faith
In the pills, as a tonic for weak, run
down women. I am in perfect health
now and do not know what It is to be
sick any more."
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills revitalize
and build up the blood. This makes
them a most valuable medicine for
disease dependant upon thin and wa
tery blood, such as anaemia, after
effects of the grip and fevers, general
weakness, rheumatism. indigestion,
nervousness, St. Vitus* dance, and
even partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia. If you are suffering from any
of these diseases, you cannot afford
to experiment, but should use the
medicine which has cured them for
over a generation.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, 50 cents per box.

While driving to the guild hall today,

While his wife held in her hands a
pistol pointed in his face. Dr. R. B. Pat

chair in their home at Libertv, Ran-

minutes later Mrs. Patterson died from
the effects of the blow. The awful
tragedy shocked the people of the vil
lage when it became known, as both
Dr. and Mrs. Patterson are related to
the best families of the State. For
some time the marital relations be
tween the two have been anything but
pleasant and difficulties have occurred
on other occasions. This morning Dr.
Patterson went to call on a woman, a
patient of his, and Mrs. Patterson ob
jected to his going. She had orten ob
jected to allowing him to attend lady
patients, and some times accompanied
him. Upon his return todav a diffi
culty ensued and his wife drew a pis
tol upon the doctor. He raised a chair
and struck her. Self-defense will be
his plea.
It is understood that no warrant for
his arrest has yet been issued.

It was midnight before Mr. Bryan be
gan his address. When he rose to
speak he was accorded a tremendous
ovation while the Kind played “Hail to
the Chief.” Mr. Bryan said his sole
desire was that the Democratic party
mould enter the next campaign with
the strongest Democratic strength it
could find In order to bring out a tri
umphant vote. It was not necessary
for him he thought to be a candidate,
for any office, as there was joy enough
for him In the private life, provided
he could get his ideas put into opera

“We sec so many Democratic princi

what Joy it would be to have those
principles carried out by a Democratic

say it will take the rest of my life
to get even with the people of this

brought his hearers to their feet with
exclamations of approval and shouts j
of applause. More especially when he
enunciated the words: "If you do not

of a law by Congress providing for a

were Samuel Gompors, the president

The modern patent medicine business is the natural outgrowth of tho old-
time household remedies.
In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS EOME-
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to bo
found in almost every house, compounded by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was
' aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
of whisky, hops and hitter harks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
, formulae for which were passed along
irom house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this wholesome
old-time custom. In the beginning, some enterprising doctor, impressed by the
usefulness of one of these homemade remedies, would take it up, improve it iu
many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through alman
acs for the home, and thus it would become used over a largo area. LATTERLY
THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND
SCIENTIFIC FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonite3, in Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite
origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale cf
it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and furnished it to the
general drug trade.
The history of Peruna is also the history of many other well-known pat
ent medicines to-day. Furnishing medicinal comuounds direct to the people
through the druggists, is simply the extension of tho practice begun by the
people themselves.
The patent medicine industry is A TREMENDOUS SAVING for the people.
It enables the householder to purchase a useful remedy, together with direc
tions and other medioal advice, at a cost far below the average price of a doc
tor’s visit Like the shoe factory, tho
wagon factory, and the clothing fac
tory, it lowers the price at the same
time it perfects the product. The par
ent medicine business enables families
far removed from doctors, to avail
themselves of the medical advice of
specialists, and to profit by their favor-

and that twice that number of wound
ed are being cared for In temporary
structures erected in the open coun
try’.
Up to four o'clock this morning, the
shocks continued with more or less
severity near Chilpancingo, completing
the work of destruction and destroying
many of the most important public
buildings entirely. The now municipal
palace was badly shattered. Its prede
cessor was leveled by an earthquake
four years ago. Tho hospitals,schools
and the jail are in ruins.
Acupulso Submerged by Waves.
- Up to this time the number of deaths
reported is 38 and the wounded 93. But
in view of the later reports, it Is
thought that these figures will fall far
short of the real number of fatalities.
It is reported that Acupulso was part-
submerged by the great waves
which dashed 'over the breakwater.
Although no breath of wind was stir
ring on the night of the first shock
when the earth began to tremble the
sea was lashed into a fury and as the
shocks continued the harbor took on
the appearance of a typhoon swept
ocean. Just how much of the port .. . .. -
has been submerged is not known.’ P°" e r- the armles of th ® TjnIt , ed
Several ships were in the harbor, but j^es^had run Mr navy on thejock:
these put out to sea. Communication
by rail with Vera Cruz is entirely cut
off owing to the sinking of roadbeds
on both the Mexican and the inter-
oceanic railways.
Reports from nearly all of the cities
in the southern part of the republic
have now been received and although
many of these places felt the shocks
severely, no loss of life has been re
ported and the property loss is insig
nificant.

NEW YORK. April 14—In his ser
mon at the memorial service of the
Loyal Legion of the United States in
the Church of the Incarnation, Madison
avenue and Thirty-fifth street, this
afternoon the Rev. Dr. Morgan DIx,
rector of Trinity parish, predicted that
"if international war should that hap
py occurrence would not bring war to
an end; It would still have to be
waged, not by nation against nation,
but within each nation, between forces
destructive to the peace and quiet of
the State."
Dr. DIx’s sermon was heard by Bish
op Potter and several prominent army
and navy officers of the Civil War and
their guests. In it he prophesied the
greatest war this planet has ever
seen.
“You as members of such an order as
this," said Dr. Dix. “can have no sym
pathy with people who waste their time
and breath in decrying the soldier and
misrepresenting the value of his work;
with such as would disband, had they

Maximum Freight Rate Law.
KANSAS CITY. Mo., April 17—The
hearing of the Injunction suit in which
the railroads are seeking to prevent
the attorney-general and the State of
Missouri from enforcing the maximum
freight rs.te law was resumed here to
day. The law was passed two years
ago and the suit has been dragging
along ever since. Three railroads are
making the fight and endeavroing to
show !ha- the iaw i* unjust, in that it
would compel the roads to accept i
freight, especially live stock, at a rate j
that would be ruinous to them. The |
roads that are making the fight are the I

BILL WILL BE TESTED
■HELENA, Mont., April 17—Attor
ney General Albert J. Galen, in an . m
when a posse reached the scene the [ opinion rendered tod^v, holds the re- j of’controiling'mob's and'dispersing riot-
there to break up and go to pieces.
“First let me speak of the art of war:
the ancient, honorable, necessary art of
war. Appreciating the motives of peace
societies, and giving the credit for
the good which they have done, we
warn them, however, not to be over
sanguine nor to become excited in the
expectation of Immediate or even early
success. The day Is not in sight when
their ideas can find universal, or any
thing near to universal, acceptance.
Not one of us will live to see the en
trance into the thousand years of
peace.
“Life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness are guaranteed by law. but the
law is menaced by classes impatient of
authority and restless under restraint.
Take this great city, for instance. We
have little or no fear of seeing foreign
fleets in our waters bent on hostile in
vasion, nor of foreign troops landing
on Long Island or the shores of the
bay, but we can and do presage a dan
ger worse than that.
"Modern society is in ferment today.
This city contains, one dreads to think
how large a number, a multitude who
are deluded by visions never to be real
ized, and seething with passions which
no cairn voice or sound speech can al
lay. This city, thank God. has a stand
ing army keeping watch on the turbu
lent and the seditious. A police force

well disciplined, trained to the manner
citizen of the United States,'ah'd'if tho
revolutionary schemes with which the
world is drenched under the class of
social reform are not by some mtains
checked or stayed, we venture the
prophecy that there is ahead a trouble
exceeding anything known thus far on
this little planet.- It Is a far cry to the
day when liberty can keep her' footing
without the issuance and protection
of arms and of men trained to that
profession.”
