GILLESPIE NOMINATED.
Cleburne, Tex., Sept. 6.—The
congressional convention of the
Twelfth District . was called in
session this morning by Chairman
Barry, and it could be seen that
something other than balloting
would have to be done before
anything like a nomination could
be made. Exactly 7,200 ballots
hJad been cast and the chair an-
nounced no nomination. It was
at this juncture that the unex-
pected happened. Lots were cast
and Hon. Oscar W. Gillespie was
succnssful, as to him fell the slip
bearing his name, which carried
with it the nomination.
The names of Gillespie and
Riddle were written on two slips
of paper and placed in a hat. The
drawing then took place. It had
been agreed that the first name
drawn should be the nominee.
Gillespie's name was drawn fiirst.
Poindexter had no chance in the
"drawing" and knew nothing a-
bout it until it was over.
It was the 7,101st ballot. Judge
Padelford of Cleburne moved that
the nomination be made unani-
mous, which was done.
Mr. Gillespie was called forward
and made a speech of acceptance
and by resolution Messrs. Riddle
and Poindexter were both sent
for and made speeches pledging
their loyalty to the Democracy
and the candidate nominated for
Congress.
What is home without a news-
paper? asked an exchange, on
which another replies: ' 'It is a
place where old hats are stuffed
into broken windows; where the
wife looks like a bag of wool with
a string around the center;where
the husband has a panorama
painted on his shirt front .and the
neglected children grow up in
Ignorance and wipe their noses
©n their jacket sleeves. Ask us
something harder.''
The only kind of consump-
tion to fear is " neglected
consumption."
People are learning that con-
sumption is a curable disease.
It is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
Scott's Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of Scott's Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where Scott's Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of Scott's Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.

KIDNEY CURE.
There is no disease so insinuat-
ing, so slow but sure, as kidney dis-
ease, or so wide-spread. The symp-
toms are so slight as to generally
escape notice.
The first indications appear in
the urine, with varied effects. The
quantity may be increased or de-
creased; it is likely to be highly col-
ored and scalding; it may be pale
or thin, or thick and milky with a
sediment. Later on more pro-
nounced symptoms will be present,
such as dizziness, bloating, etc.,
with marked bladder and urinary
disorders.
Poisonous waste matter is collected
by the blood from all parts of the sys-
tem and carried to the kidneys, where
it is separated and cast out through the
urine. The kidneys deal with the blood
only, deriving nourishment there-
from. Hence, if the blood is bad the
kidneys are not only overworked, bu.
underfed. How necessary is it, there-
fore, that the purity and vitality of the
blood should be maintain ed. It is plain
Why the great blood purifier and
strengthener—Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic-
has been successfully used in treating
kidney diseases and in preventing same.
In purifying the blood the kidneys are
greatly relieved, while, at the same time,
new strength and vitality are given
these organs. The following letter tells
a very old story:
Pine Knot, Ky., June 25,1902.
The Dr. Harter Medicine Co., Dayton, O.
Gentlemen: I had a severe case of
typhoid fever six years ago, which left
my kidneys in bad order. I have tried
a number of remedies and taken treat-
ment from doctors, but Dr. Harter's Iron
Tonic has done me more good than
everything else. C. Coedell,
Merchant and Mine Operator.
There are thousands of just such
cases as the above that are treated
without results because they are
wrongly treated. Mr. Cordell's
condition resulted from an exhaust-
ing fever; the kidneys, as well as
the rest of the system, had been
wasted by disease. No wonder Dr.
Harter'slron Tonic promptlycured,
because it purified and enriched the
blood, ana such blood carried new
strength and vitality directly to the
kidneys and to all the organs.

Selfishness is a disease of
which matrimony cures some
people.
A wise man never trusts any
one who trusts to luck.
BEWARE OF THE KNIFE.
No profession has advanced more
rapidly of late than surgery, but it
should not be used except where ab-
solutely necessary. In cases of piles
for example, it is seldom needed.
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures
quickly and permanently. Unequaled
tor outs, burns, bruises, wounds, skin
disoases. Accept no counterfeits.
"I was so troubled with bleeding
piles that I lost much blood and
strength," says J. C. Phillips, Paris,
111. "DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve
cured me in a short time." Soothes
and heals.
It isn't the girl who fires up
quickly that makes the best
match.
A CERTAIN CUKE FOR DYSEN-
TERY AND DIARRHOEA.
"jome years ago I was one of a
party that intended making a long
bicycle trip," says F. L. Taylor, of
Mew Albany, Bracford County, Pa.
' 1 was taken suddenly with diarrhoea
and was about to give up the trip,
when editor Ward, of the Laceyvilie
Messenger, suggested that i take a
dose of «. hamberlam's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, I purchased
a bottle and took two doses, one be -
fore starting and one on the route. I
made the trip successfully, and never
felt any ill effcct. Again last sum-
mer I was almost completely run
down with an attack of dysentery.
I bought a bottle of this same remedy
aud thi3 time one dose cured me."

appointme*t, but you don't want to
purge, strain and break the glands of
the stomach and bowels. DeWitt's

They cleanse the system ©f all poison
and putrid matter and do it so gently
that c.ne enjoys the pleasant effects.

A COMMUNICATION.
Mr. Editor—Allow me to speak a
few words in favor of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I suffered for three
years with the bronchitis and could
not sleep at nights. I tried several
doctors and various patent medicines
but could get nothing to give me any
relief until my wife got a bottle of
this valuable medicine, which has
completely relieved me.—W. S.
Brockman, Bagnell, Mo. This rem-
edy is for sale by all druggists.
Many a man who thinks he is
a hero to his wife is merely a
freak with a swelled head.
TAKE CARE OF THE STOMACH.
The man or woman whose digestion
is perfect and whose stomach per-
forms its every function is never
sick. Kodol cieanses, purifies and
sweetens the stomach and cures pos-
itively and permanently all stomach
troubles, indigestion and dy«pepsia.
It is the wonderful reconstructive
tonic that is making so many sick
people well and weak people strong
oy conveying to their bodies all of
the nourishment in the food they eat.
Rev. J. H. Holladay, of Holladay.
Miss., writes: Kodol has cured me.
I consider it the best remedy I ever
used for dyspepsia and stomach
troubles. I was given up by the phy-
sicians. Kodol saved my life Take
it after meals.
The course of true love never

k'In dealing with man, remember
that a spoonful of oil will go farther
tsan a gallon of vinegar." The same
may be said of children. There is
nothing so good for children as the
old-fashioned castor oil. However
much they may abhor it, it is their
best medicine for disorders of the
bowels. In the more severe cases of
diarrheea and dysentery, however,
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy should be given
after the oil operates, and a quick
cure is sure to follow. For sale by
all druggists.
