That old sore or ulcer, which has been a source of pain, worry and annety to yon for
five or ten rears mavbe longer doesn't heal because you are not using the proper treat-

pain to some extent, no real, permanent good can come from their use, because the disease

M'KINLEY ACCEPTS.
His Speech in Eeply to Notification
Committee.
"Senator Lodge and Gentlemen of
the Notification Committee:
"The message whirti you bring to me
is one of signal honor. It is also a
summons to duty. A single nomination
for the office of president by a great
party which in thirty-two years out
of forty h;is been triumphant at nation
al elections is a distinction which I
gratefully cherish. To receive unan
imous re-nomination by the same party
is an expression of regard and a pledge
of continued confidence for which it is
difficult to make adequate acknowl
edgment. "If anything exceeds the honor of
the office of president of the United
States it is the responsibility which at.
taches to it. Having been invested with
both I do not under appraise either.
Anyone who has borne the anxieties
and burdens of the presidential office
especially in time of national trial, can
not contemplate assuming it a second
time without profoundly realizing the
severe exactions and the solemn obli
gations which it imposes, and this feel
ing is accentuated by the momentous
problems which now press for settle
ment. "If my countrymen shall confirm the
action of the convention at our na
tional election in November, I shall,
craving Divine guidance, undertake the
exalted trust to administer it for the
Interest and honor of the country and
the well being of the new peoples who
have become the objects of our care.
"The declaration of principles adopt
ed by the convention has my hearty
approval. At some future date I will
consider Its subjects in detail and will
by letter communicate to your chair
man a more formal acceptance of the
nomination.
"On a like occasion four years ago I
paid: 'The party that supplied by leg
islation the vast revenues for the con
duct of our greatest war; that prompt
ly restored the credit of the country at
its close; that from its abundant reve
nues paid off a large share of the debt
incurred by this war, and that resumed
specie payments and placed our paper
currency upon a sound and enduring
basis, can be safely trusted to preserve
both our credit and currency with honor,
stability and inviolabitiy. The Ameri
can people hold the financial honor of
our government as sacred as our flag,
and can be relied upon to guard it
with the same sleepless vigilance. They
hold its preservation above party fealty
and have often demonstrated that party
ties avail nothing when the spotless
credit of our country is threatened.
" 'The dollar paid to the farmer, the
wage earner, and the pensioner must
continue forever eciual In purchasing
and debt-paying power to the dollar
paid to any government creditor.
WHAT IS INVOLVED.
'Our industrial supremacy, our pro
ductive capacity, our business and com
mercial prosperity, our labor and its
rewards, our national credit and cur
rency. our financial honor and our splen
did free citizenship, the birthright of
every American, are all involved in the
pending campaign, and thus every
home in the land is directly and inti
mately connected with tlieir proper set
tlement. " Our domestic trade must be won
back and our idle worjving people em
ployed in gainful occupations at Ameri
can wages. Our home market must be
restored to its proud rank of first in
the world and our foreign trade, so
precipitately cut off by adverse national
legislation, re-opened on fair and equit
able terms for our surplus agricultural
and manufacturing products.
' 'Public confidence must be restored
and the skill, energy and the capital of
our country find ample employment at
home. The government of the United
States must raise money enough to
meet both its current expenses and in
creasing needs. Its revenues should be
raised so as to protect the material in
terests of our people, with the lightest
possible drain upon their resources and
maintaining that high standard of
civilization which has distinguished
our country for more than a century of
its existence.
" 'The national credit, which has
thus far fortunately resisted everv as
sault upon it must and will be upheld
an i strengthened. If sufficient revenues
are provided for the support of the gov
ernment there will be no necessity
for borrowing money and increasing the
public debt."
"Three and one-half years of legis
lation and administered have been
concluded since these words were spok
en. Have those to whom was confided
the direction of the government kept
their pledges? The record is made up.
The people are not unfamiliar with
what has been accomplished. The gold
standard has been reaffirmed and
strengthened. The endless chain has
been broken and the drain upon our
told reserve no lonser frets us. The
credit of the country has been advanc
ed to the highest place among all na
tions. We are refunding our bonded
debt bearing 3 and 4 per cent interest
at 2 per cent, a lower rate than that
of any other country and already more
than 300 millions have been so funded
w ith a gain to the government of many
millions of dollars. Instead of 16 to 1.
for which our opponents contended
four years ago. legislation has been
enacted, which, while utilizing all
forms of our money secures one fixed
value for every dollar and that the best
known to the civilized world.
"A tariff which protects American la
bor and industry and provides ample
revenues has been Written in public
law. We have lower interest and high
er wages: more money and fewer mort
gages. The world's markets have been
opened to American products, which go
now where they have never gone be
fore. We have passed from a bond
issuing to a bond-paying nation: -from
a. nation of borrowers to a nation of
lenders; from a deficiency in revenue to
a, surplus; from, fear to confidence;

A sore heals promptly wnen tne Diooa is in gooa conaiuon, out navsn it it is diseased. Thc
tendency of these old sores and ulcers is to grow worse, spreading and eating deeper into the flesh.
Thev are a constant drain upon the system, gradually but surely ruin the health and sap the very life.
A person's capacity for work or pleasure is soon lost in the great desire and search for something to cure.
S. S. S. makes a rapid and permanent cure of old sores and ulcers, and is the only medicine that
does, because no other can reach deep-seated blood troubles. Ordinary Sarsaparilla and potash mixtures
are too weak and watery to overcome a deadly poison that has taken possession of the blood. Do not
waste valuable time experimenting with them.

MENACE OF 16 TO 1.
"Unfortunately the threat of 1S96
has just been renewed by the allied par
ties without abatement or modification.
The gold bill has been denounced and
its repeal demanded. The menace of
16 to 1 therefore still hangs over us
with all its dire consequences to credit
and confidence, to business and indus
try. The enemies of sound currency
are rallying their scattered forces. The
people must once more unite and over
come the advocates of repudiation and
must not relax their energy until the
battle, for public honor and honest
money shall again triumph.
"A congress which will sustain and
if need be, strengthen the present law,
can prevent a financial catastrophe,
which every lover of the republic is
interested to avert.
"Not satisfied with assaulting the
currency and credit of the government,
our political adversaries condemn the
tariff law enacted at the extra session
of congress in 1S97, known as the Dng
ley act, passed in obedience to the will
of the people expressed at the election
in the preceding November, a law
which at once stimulated our indus
tries, opened the idle factories and
mines and gave to the laborer and to
the farmer fair returns for their toil
and investment. Shall we go back to a
tariff which brings deficiency in our
revenues and destruction to our indus
trial enterprises?
"Faithful to the pledges In their in
ternal affairs, how has the government
discharged its international duties?
"Our platform of 1S96 declared, 'the
Hawaiian islands should be controlled
by the United States and no foreign
power should be permitted to interfere
with them.' This purpose has been fully
accomplished by annexation, and dele
gates from those beautiful islands par
ticipated in the convention for which
you speak today. In the great confer
ence of nations at The Hague we reaf
firm before the world the Monroe doc
trine and our adherence to it and our
determination not to participate in the
complications of Europe. We have hap
piiy ended the European alliance in Sa
moa, securing to ourselves one of the
most valuable harbors in the Pacific
ocean, while the open door in China
gives to us fair and equal competition In
the vast trade of the Orient.
OUR COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.
"Some things have happened which
were not promised, nor even foreseen,
and our purposes in relation to them
must not be left in doubt. A just war
has been waged for humanity and with
it have come new problems and respon
sibilities. Spain has been ejected from
the western hemisphere and our flag
floats over her former territory. Cuba
has been liberated and our guarantees
to her people will be sacredly executed.
A beneficent government has been pro
vided for Porto Rico. The Philippines
are ours and American authority must
be supreme throughout the archipelago.
There will be amnesty broad and liberal,
but no abatement of our rights, no
abandonment of our duty. There must
be no scuttle policy. We will fulfill in
the Philippines the obligations imposed
by the triumphs of our arms and by the
treaty of peace; by international law;
by the nation's sense of honor; and,
more than all, by the rights, interests
and conditions of the Philippine peoples
themselves.
"No outside interference blocks the
way to peace and a stable government.
The obstructionists are here, not else
where. They may postpone, but they
cannot defeat the realization of the high
purpose of this nation to restore order
to the island and to establish a just and
generous government, in which the in
habitants shall have the largest partic
ipation for which they are capable. The
organized forces which have been mis
led into rebellion have been dispersed by
our faithful soldiers, ar.d sailors, and
the people of the islands delivered from
anarchy, pillage and oppression, recog
nize American sovereignty as the sym
bol and pledge of peace. Justice, law, re
ligious freedom, education, the security
of life and property and the welfare and
prosperity of their several communi
ties. "We reassert the early principle of the
Republican party, sustained by unbro
ken judicial precedents, that the repre
sentatives of the people in congress as
sembled have full legislative power over
territory belonging to the United States
subject to the fundamental safeguards
of liberty, justice and personal rights,
and are vested with ample authority to
act 'for the highest interests of our na
tion and the people entrusted to its
care.' The doctrine, first proclaimed in
the cause of freedom, will never be used
as a weapon for oppression. I am glad
to be assured by you that what we have
done in the far east has the approval or
the countrv.
SITUATION IN CHINA
"The sudden and terrible crisis in
China calls for the gravest consideration
and you will not expect from me now
any further expression than to say that
my best efforts shall be given to the im
mediate purpose of protecting the lives
of our citizens who are in peril, with the
ultimate object of the peace and welfare
of China, the safeguarding of all our
treaty rights and the maintenance of
those principles of impartial intercourse
to which the civilized world is pledged.
AMERICA'S NAME RESPECTED.
I can not conclude without congrat
ulating my countrymen upon the strong
national sentiment which finds expres
sion in every part of our common coun-Z-
a the inreased respect with
which the American name is greeted
throughout the world. We have been
moving in untried paths, but our steps

wavering, no retreat. No blow has been
struck except for liberty and humanity
and none will be. We will perform with

al obligation. The Republican party
was dedicated to freedom 44 years ago.
It has been the party of liberty and
emancipation from that hour, not of
profession, but of performance. It broke
the shackles of four million slaves and
made them free, and to the party of
Lincoln has come another supreme op
portunity which it has bravely met in
the liberation of ten million of the hu

ism. In its solution of great problems,
in its performance or high duties, it has

TAGGERT AND JOHNSON.
Will Be the Active Heads of the
Democratic Campaign.
Chicago, July 13. Senator Jones has
left Chicago for a trip to Lake Minne
tonka, Minn., for a brief outing. The
Chronicle says:
No appointments have been announc
ed, but it is generally understood that
Mayor Taggart of Indianapolis will be
made chairman of the campaign com
mittee. Chairman Johnson is conceded
his old place as the head or the execu
tive body and he will be the active man
ager of the campaign.
Mayor Taggart made a flying trip to
Chicago in response to a dispatch from
Senator Jones and the officials of the
Democratic national committee fixed
upon August 8 as the date for the notifi
cation of Bryan and Stevenson of the
action of the Kansas City convention.
Indianapolis was the city selected as the
place where the news will be broken.
Neither the date nor the place of notifi
cation was announced definitely, but it
is not probable that the present plans
will be changed. Mr. Taggart assured
Senator Jones that the Democrats need
have no fear of Indiana going Republi
can this year, but he added that the
task would be rendered less difficult
were the notification ceremonies to take
place at the Hoosier capital.
The Democratic national headquarters
will remain in Chicago and the informa
tion is given on good authority that the
camp will be pitched in the auditorium
annex in the same rooms used in 1896.
HEATY DAMAGES.
San Francisco Chinamen Demand
$2,000,000.
San Francisco, July 13. The Chinese
residents of the recently quarantined
district of this city are preparing to de
mand compensation for losses alleged to
have been sustained owing to the action
of the health officials. Detailed lists of
losses are being prepared which are ex
pected to form the basis for a suit for
damages estimated by the attorneys at
about $2,000,000 against the city of San
Francisco or of a claim of about that
amount against the federal government.
Consul General Ho You says it has
not been determined which course to
pursue. The attorneys will claim that
the bubonic plague never existed in Chi
natown and that there was no justifica
tion for the action of the national and
municipal authorities. -
Jack "Williams Captured.
Salina, Kan., July 13. Jack Williams,
formerly a deputy sheriff of Saline
county, who was convicted in the dis
trict court here of perjury about a year
ago and gave bond pending an appeal
to the district court, and who since
the supreme court decided against him
has been in hiding, was captured last
evening by Deputy Sheriff George
Meyers, near Abilene.
Levy County School Tax.
Independence, Kan., July 13. At a
meeting of the trustees of the Mont
gomery county high school here yester
day a tax of two mills was levied for
the support of the school during the
coming year, which will amount to
$8,094. The board also made an appro
priation of $200 for the library and
$200 for the laboratory.
He Claims the School House.
Abilene, July 13. A peculiar contest
has arisen in South Dickinson over a
school house. John Baxter gave an acre
of land to district 112, and an $S0O school
house was built on it. The deed was not
recorded, and the land was mortgaged
with his farm and taken in foreclosure.
The new owner, R. H. Thayer, refuses
to acknowledge the gift, and is about to
move off the building for a farm dwel
ling. The district has applied to the
courts for relief, but will probably lose
the building.
Chooses His Clerk.
San Francisco, July 13. H. H. Estee,
justice of the United States district
court of Hawaii, has appointed Walter

Grounds in State of Neglect.
No Longer a Landscape Gardener
to Look After Them.
IS FALSE ECONOMY.
Passengers Appreciated theMoye
Made Two Years Ago.
Road Could Well Afford to Con
tinue Interest in the Artistic.
Two years ago an order was issued by
the Santa Fe management appointing a
landscape gardener and providing for
the beautification of station and shop
grounds along the line of road. The
move met with favor from the start.
The work went great way towards
breaking the monotony to passengers
while passing over the road. Ordinarily,
the surroundings or railroad stations are
not a pleasurable sight. The little gar
dens and parka that were scattered
along the road might be likened to
oases in the desert, and were apprecia
ted by every one.
After the election of Third "Vice Presi
dent Barr the position of landscape gar
dener was abolished, and since then
nothing has been done to keep up an in
terest in the good work. The gardens
which were once beauty spots in the
yards at Topeka, are unkept and the
flowers have nearly all died out. In
spots a few are left which continue to
grow in spite of everything to the con
trary, but they are so scattered that it
serves to make the other part of the
grounds look more barren.
The station grounds along the road
are being cared for simply at the pleas
ure of the station employes. In many
places the improvements made under
the direction of the landscape gardener
are no longer visible.
"While the beautification of railroad
grounds is not a matter of necessity, the
Santa Fe would probably lose nothing
in continuing to take an interest in the
artistic. The expense would be made up

Vacancies in the Regular Santa Fe
Fool at Topeka.
Owingtotheunusual rush of business
on the Santa eF at the present time, the
road has been troubled with a scarcity
of crews to man the engines. On sev
eral occasions some of the roundhouse
workmen have had to go as firemen.
Two more vacancies have occurred on
regular runs and a bulletin has been
posted in the roundhouse advertising
for applications for the places. One of
the vacancies in the regular pool was
caused by the assignment of Engineer
Irving Wellman to a regular run. The
oldest engineer on the extra board
making application on or before July 17
will be assigned the place.
The other vacancy in the regular pool
is on account of Fireman W. F. McLain
being assigned to a regular run. The
oldest fireman on the extra board mak
ing application on or before July 18 will
be given the place.
FIREMEN WILL PROTEST.
Work on Monster Engines Said to Be
Killing Employes.
Chicago, July 13. Big engines are caus
ing all kinds of trouble for the railroads
that recently have put them in service.
The firemen are protesting at the unusual
work required to feed the monsters and
grievance committees are being formed to
carry these protests to the managers of
the railways.
A grievance committee representing the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, now
meeting in Chicago, is considering this
question with others. When this board
shall have finished its work, it is said,
a request will be made to the officers of
all companies operating engines of the
leviathan type that the runs of the fire
men be shortened or that two firemen
be placed on every one of the monsters.
"The giant engines that lately have been
put in service on all the big systems are
literally killing their firemen," said one
of the members of the committee yester
day. "It requires three times the work
to fire one of these engines that Is neces
sary to keep a locomotive of ordinary
size running. We can't stand the labor,
and there must be changes. Though the
new engines eat twice the coal and do
twice the work of the medium-sized ma
chines, there has been no change in the
rules regarding the firing of them. We
do not anticipate any serious trouble as
a result of our demands and believe when
the question is presented to the manag
ing officers of the different roads they
will agree to either place two firemen on
every engine or shorten the runs where
but one man is employed."
The monster engines are being used by
nearly every road of importance out of
Chicago. Among the lines on which the
larger locomotives are in service are the
Rock Island, Burlington, -Santa Ke, Alton,
Northwestern, Milwaukee and St.. Paul,
Lake Shore, Michigan Central, Pennsyl

Grand Trunk and the Illinois Central.
NEW MEN FOR THE REDS."
Crack Santa Fe Ball Team Under New
Management.
At a meeting of the supporters of the
Santa Fe shop ball team In the parlors
of the railroad Y. M. C. A. last evening
an election was held. It resulted in the
naming of William Sherman as manager
of the team and Harry Sullivan as cap
tain. The election was made necessary be
cause of the resignations of Manager
Whipple and Captain Baughman. The
team has been strengthened by the addi
tion of several new men, and it starts
out under its new management hopeful of
a prosperous career. It is thought by
many that the team, in the following line

eral years. The line-up of the Reds fol

COLORADO A SUMMER MECCA.
Travel to the Mountain State This
Year Breaks All Records.
Denver, July 13. Crowds of people are
still pouring into Denver and the general
superintendent of the Rio Grande said to
day that be had never seen anything like
it before. Testerday the Burlington alone
turned over &50 passengers to the Rio
Grande and two big trains came in from
the east on the Burlington this morning.
Last night the Chicago train rolled in
with three sections, the last one reaching
here after 11 o'clock. The Union Pacitic
also came in loaded last night and this
morning the train was late owing to so
many loaded cars. The Rock Island, due
at 7:45, is stalled somewhere in Kansas
with heavy loads and at noon today had
not yet arrived. The Santa Fe dropped
off three carloads at Colorado Springs
yesterday and today, also, and brought in
two sections to Denver.
The mountain roads are reaping a ben
efit, too. All of the roads are bothered to
furnish equipment to handle the crowds
and they are scattering all over the
state. On today's Rock Island, Major E.
H. Cooper had over 200 tourists for the
southwestern part of the state to visit
the cliff dwellers' ruins.
TO COMPLY "WITH THE LAW.
Santa Fe Pushing Work of Equipping
Cars With Safety Couplers.
The Santa Fe is bending all its ener
gies towards the completion of the equip
ment of freight cars with safety couplers
within the time specified by law.
Owing to the fact that there has been
a continued demand by all the railroads
for the safety couplers, the manufactur
ers have not been able to turn them out in
sufficient quantities to accommodate the
trade. For this reason the work on
Santa Fe cars has been delayed, but by
the end of the month it is thought that
practically all the cars will be fitted with
the new couplers. August 1 is the final
date.
Of course there will be cars on foreign
roads not equipped, but the material will
be sent to the point where the cars are
and arrangements made to have the work
done.
Santa Fe Publications.
A booklet of particular interest to
those who intend visiting summer re
sorts has been issued by the Santa Fe
passenger department in this city. The
booklet gives the rate from each of the
principal cities along the line of the
Santa Fe proper to various summer re
sorts in different parts of the country.
A glance enables the investigator to
know the exact cost of travel to and
from the home city to any of the resorts
in the country. Another recent publica
tion of the passenger department i3 a
handsomely illustrated pamphlet deal
ing with tourist travel to Colorado and
California. The illustrations are views
taken on Santa Fe trains.
Theaters in Santa Fe Towns.
Mr. F. S. Savage, advertising man
ager of the Santa Fe in this city, is
getting out a revised list of theaters
along the line of the Santa Fe road
proper. The list gives the population
of the respective cities, the number of
playhouses, dimension of stage and seat
ing capacity. Such a list was first got
ten out last year and distributed among
the booking agencies of the east. Be
cause of the good crops in the west, the
list will probably prove of more bene
fit to various towns in the way of se
curing attractions this winter than it
did last year.
Union Pacific Earnings.
Reports on the earnings of the Union
Pacific for the year ended June 30 are
that there will be a surplus of about
JS.OiiO.OOO after paying fixed charges and
J4.000.000 In dividends on the preferred
stock. It is stated that the net figures
for the year, exclusive of land sales, were
something in excess of $20,000,000. Fixed
charges for the whole system are about
$8,000,000, which would leave 112,000,000 for
the stock. The preferred is limited to 4
per cent., or, in round figures, $4,000,000.
After deducting this amount there will
still remain about $8,000,000, which is equiv
alent to a littie over 8 per cent, on
000,000 common stock. It is understood
that the directors will place the common
on a 4 per cent, dividend basis at their
meeting the first week in August.
FROM RATON.
Dispatcher W. L. Grey has returned
from a ten days' visit in Topeka.
Boilermaker Robert Cunningham sus
tained an injury to his eye here and took
the first train for Topeka for medical at
tention. He was at work in the shops,
driving a rivet, when it flew back em
bedding itself in his good eye, he having
lost the sight of his other eye about a
year ago. Hopes are entertained that his
sight can be saved.
Walter Belew, the Santa Fe brakeman
who shot Engineer T. E. Wilson In the
yards on the night of June 8 was given
a preliminary hearing before Judge Cor
nell at Trinidad. He is charged with as
sault to kill. When the prosecution closed
its case the defense refused to introduce
testimony and Belew was bound over to
the district court in the sum of $1,000.
AN INDIAN'S TROUBLE.
Says He Had Permission to Leave
Chilocco But Is Neverthe
less Arrested.
Murph Turby, an Indian boy who has
been attending the Indian school at
Chilocco, Oklahoma, applied to the po
lice yesterday for assistance in getting
his trunk from the Haskell school In
Lawrence. Tarby said that he had been
given permission to leave the Chilocco
school during the summer vacation in
order that he might work in the har
vest fields and that after he had finish
ed the work he had secured near Hutch
inson, he had gone to Lawrence for a
short visit thinking Superintendent
Peairs of Haskell institute could tell
him where he could secure another job.
He says he came to Topeka after re
maining at Haskell for a few days and
had secured a. job in Colorado and that
he would have to leave here in the even
ing at 8 o'clock. The police telephoned
to Lawrence for the trunk and were in
formed that it was the opinion of the
superintendent there that Tarby had
run away from Chilocco. The superin
tendent at Chilocco was at once wired
and he instructed the police to hold the
boy and inform Wm. Heinecke, the as
sistant superintendent of the school,
who is on a visit to his home in Tecum
seh. This was done and last night Mr.
Heinecke came in and took the boy
home with him. He said he knew the
boy well and that he was a good stu

INCOME TAX PLANK.
Explanation of Its Loss From the
Democratic Platform,
Indianapolis, Ind., July 13. Samuel K.
Morse, Indiana's member of the resolu
tions committee at the national Dem
ocratic convention, in a signed inter
view, makes the following explanation
of how there came to be no income tax
plank in the national Democratic plat
form. He says:
'The platform as adopted by the com
mittee on resolutions of the Kansas
City convention contained a declaration
in favor of the adoption. of legislation
adjusting an income tax and providing
for the election of United States sena
tors by the people. No objection was
made to the resolution and I am con
vinced that the omission of reference to
the income tax was the result of an
oversight due to the haste with which
the sub-committee was obliged to act to
put the platform as unanimously
agreed upon in shape to be submitted
to the convention. The idea that the
declaration for the income tax was pur
posely omitted by the sub-committee
out of deference to. Senator Hill, or any
other person, is preposterous.
"When Senator Tillman had nearly
finished the platform some of the In
diana delegates said to me that noth
ing had been read about the income tax.
I said to them that the platform as
agreed upon by the committee con
tained a declaration for the income tax
and that if it had been omitted it was
due to oversight, either by Senator Till
man in reading or by the copyist who
had triscribed the document. I went
Mayor Harrison of Chicago, and asked
Mayor Harrison of Chicag, who was the
Illinois member of the committee. If he
had noted the omission. He said he had
not. I was about to go on the platform
to call attention to the matter when

Mayor Harrison called to me and said
that Mr. Abbott told him that the in
come tax declaration had been read by
Senator Tillman. Unless Mr. Abbott's
ears deceived him It was read and the
omission occurred by accident in the
copies furntsh,ed to the press. I have
no doubt that Mr. Bryan will define
his position and that of his party on
this subject in his letter of accept
ance. Mr. Bryan has long been an
advocate of the income tax and the
Democratic party of the country is
united in advocating it."
