DEMOCRACY WINS IN JA
WAIK.
A prominent facto? on Cotton
Row, when quite a lad, was
greatly enamored of a queenly
woman in society, much his
senior in years and superior in
size. But undismayed by the
way he was outclassed in years
and physique the ambitious
youngster escorted her one night
to church. Next dhy when some
of his companions heard of his
boldness one of them asked if h»
didn’t have to “brush up against
her every now and then to let
her know that he was comiig
along?”
The present cheeky race of
Mr. Hogin with the Democrat
ic standardbearer has forcibly
recalled this incident of his boy
hood to the writer, and he won
ders why the Populist candidate
doesn’t brush up against Col.
Allen D . Candler every now
and then just to let him know
that he is still in the race. It is
a rather tame walk-over for Col.
Candler. His opponent does not
keep close enough up to make
him stretch himself, and as for
the state house officers it is dol
lars to doughnuts that not one
man in 500, take- them as they
come, can even name the Popu
list nominees. ,
Presumably ‘.here is somebody
running against Comptroller
Wright, Commissioner of Agri
culture Stevens and the rest,but
who they are and why they are
running is as strange a mystery
as the belief on the part of Mr.
Hogan that he is in the race.
The Democratic candidates

Populism has not served its term

With Capt. Evan Howell on

SCROFULA
It is Foul Blood’s Advertise*
ment
But It Is Soon Cured by Hood’s
Sarsaparilla.
Yes, Scrofula, if anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. It ia the
scourge of the world—offensive, jiaiaful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nig',
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difllculty to now quarter?
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one aura
way out, and that ia to eliminate th*
taint from the blood.
There ia one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so tar aa we
know, has almost invariably succeeded -
even Where the system has been poisoned
by long years of taint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Read this:
“ My daughter was afflicted with Im.
pure blood. There were running sore*
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hood’s Sursapa*
rilla and I began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per*
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time.” Mabihtta M.
Smith, South Middleboro, Mass.

That he Was Prospering in
Polar Expedition.
DARING A RETIE EXPLORER
Had Reached Etah Near The
Entrance to Smith Sound.
New. Yo k, Sept. 18.—A let
ter teceived in this city from
Explorer Peary says that on
Aug, 13 he was at Etah, near
the entrance to Smith Sound, up
which he probably proceeded
soon after he wrote.
Peary wrote that thus far his
plans had prospered. He had
taken aboard his steamer Wind
ward 10 Eskimos, 60 dogs and
carcasses of 60 walruses, which
will supply a large quantity of
food for his dogs and the natives.
There is no doubt that Peary
reached the Northwater at E tali,
in advance of Capt. Sverdrup’s
expedition on the Fram.
