The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years. , , It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It Is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the Great South American Medicine Company, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by the native inhabitants of South! America, who rely almost wholly upon its great medicinal powers to cure every form of disease by which tbey are overtaken. This new and valuable South American medicine possesses powers and qualities hitherto unknown to the medical profession. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure or Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, and diseases of the general Nervous System. It also cures all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the Great Nervine Tonic qualities which it possesses and by its great curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and etrengthener of the life forces of the human body and as a great renewer of a broken down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the Lungs than any ten consumption remedies ever used on this continent It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic almost constantly for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and curative is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year.

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir, are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for wont of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear pur present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This recent production of the South American Continent has been found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous

ach. No person can afford to pass by 'this jewel of incalculable value who u affected by disease of the Stomach, because the eznerienee and testimnnv of

thousands go to prove that this is the oss and only one great cure in the world for this universal destroyer. There is no case of unmalignant disease of the stomach which can resist the wonderful curative powers of the South American Nervine Tonic.

HE HEADS THE PEOPLE'S PARTY TICKET. FIELD IN SECOND PLACE THE NOMINATIONS ARB MADE UNANIMOUS, Work ol the Convention In Detail -Groat .Enthusiasm Displayed Over the Flat' form anil at All stages of the Interesting Proaaedlnga. Saturday's Sessions, Omaha upeotal: The National Convention of the PeoIe'a Independent party met In the Colloum Building in this city. The bail In which the convention was held seats about twelve thousand persons and In appearance resembles the Minneapolis hall. As the hall began to fill a notable feature wan the presence ot many women delcgatos. Chairman Taubonei k, of the National Executive Committee, came upon the platform shortly after 10:30 and entered Into consultJAUES B. WEAVXB. tion with other leaders. By ll o'clock tho i art ofthe bnll allotted to delegates was fairly well filled, most of tho 1,778 delegates being present, but in much confusion. The general remark was that it wa a line-looking body of men. Strong and striking physiognomies were numerous. Chaplain Diffonbocher, of the Nobras-. ka house of .representatives, a somewhat notaslo character in the independent politics of Nebraska, took a seat upon the platform about 11 o'clock, and so did George P. Bemls, mayor ot Omaha. The newspaper men were veil provided for on the right and leftot the speakers' stand. Chairman Taubencok called the convention to order at 11:05 o'clock. It required ten minutes to produce order and Sorgaant-at-arms L. A. Beltzer's loud volet- was necessary to make Mr. Tau-benei-k's gavol effective. The Chairman at once introduced Chaplain Diffenbacher, who made the opening prayer in a string, full voice, readily heard in all parts of tho hall. W'lie a tho Chairman introduced Mayor Bern s, of Omaha, to welcome the delecateti, ho was received with hearty cheers, and his speech was frequently interrupted by loud applause. At the conclusion of the address the convention g;ive three tremendous cheers tor the Mayor. Ben 8. Terrill, of Texas, was introduce! to reply on behalf of the convention to Mayor Bemis' address of welcome. He did so in a vigorous and complimentary speech, which was received with applause at frequent Intervals. Quoting a statement of Mayor Bom s that dear gold meant cheap men, Terr 11 was greeted with cheers, which wero only exceeded when he pledged tho South to vote tho People's party ticket, no matter who the nominee, as long as he f lood squarely upon the St Louis platform. His declaration that' the new party had wiped out sectionalism and united the blue and the gray as no other party could was met with applause which bIiooi the building. As an ex-Confederate soldier he declared that the new party made him feel as much at home in Nebraska as in Texas. Chairman Taubeneok then introduced as Temporary Chairman C. H. Ellington, of Georgia, and surrendered the gavel to him. .1. W. Hayes, of New Jersey, was made Temporary Secretary, with C. V. Carpenter, of Minnesota, and Josso Poundstone, of California, assistants. Mr. Ellington proceeded to deliver a heavy address which was well received. When the Temporary Chairman referred to the death of the late President Polk, of the Alliance, he did bo feelingly, and a somewhat dramatic soi-ne occurred, his remarks being interrupted by b -inglng upon the stage a large portrait of Polk. At the conclusion of tho speech "Sister Todd," of Illinois, was introduced and received with loud cheers. She came forward and presented to tho convention a. gavel carved by Mrs. Ben S. Terrell from tho wood of a tree planted by Wasaington and j;rown at Mount Vernon. Sister Todd delivered a ringing address in a clear, strong voice that penetrated all parts of the hall and aroused the great audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Clad in black, wearing a black hat and gesticulating vigorously with the black gavel, the gentle orator presented a striking figure, Tho Credentials Committee wb,s directed to meet, and a committee of one from each State on permanent organization and one from each State on rules was appointed. The convention at once proceeded to call of the States for committees. At one o'clock the convention took a recess for one hour. When the convention reassembled the committees were not ready to report, and the delegates were entertained by several quartette clubs, who sang selections bearing on the political iueues as understood by the People's party. Some of the songs were very pertinent and had catching refrains. One proclaimed "that they were very lucky beet.use they had the tariff yet," a statement which called forth loud applause. D arlnf; the lull Chairman Ellington read an interesting message ol good oheior I'roni Wasblugton, signed by the sympathizers of the People's party In Congress. Af the committees wero still at work the convention settled down Into a goodnatured mass meeting and was addressed by Ignatius 'Donnolly and othere. Mr. Doi nelly made he most interesting speech of the afternoon. He was humorous and sarcastic by turns and scored several good points. He was followed by II. Jason, a half-breed Indian who is practicing law in Chicago, and who made a strong speech in support, of the new movement. J axon spoko fluently and well. The Committee on Credentials submitted a report and the convention then adjourned to meot again at i o'clock Monday morning. MondHT'a Meeting, In accordance with the early training of sine-tenths of the delegates, they wero in their places early Monday morning, and Temporary Chairmar Ellington, sharply on tho minute c.illed the convention to order and introduced the Hov. V. McCready, who offered prayer.

J. tf. Hayea, Wnr Jersey; fw Asfabia(i Secretaries, S. S. King ol Kansas, George Wilson of Michigan, G. W. Donmark of South Dakota. Following this was also a long list of Vice Chairmen, each State being represented in the distribution of this honor. Tho report was unanimously adopted. It was a picturesque spectacle when Permanent Chairman T.oucks, standing firmly on his one leg and swinging a crutch at arm's length, waved the great assemblage to ordor. is speech as it progressed was a surp rli;o, and elicited cheers at every few woris. A new gavel, annouaod as ooming by permission of the owner from timber on the first homestead entry in tho United States, was at this mom int presented to the Chairman. He rapped it vigorously on the desk amid laughter caused by a declaration that this gavol. unlike the one used at a recent national convention, had dot been stolen, and that the Independent Party did not require to steal either ite thunder or its noise. Gen. William J. Armstrong, Inspector General of Consuls under Grant, and Mrs. Emery, of Michigan, eaoh made speeches of considerable length. The Committee on Hules reported the now-f angled method of voting for first and second choices, but the delegates fell upon it almost to a man. YanderVoort of Nebraska finally moved that the convention bo allowed to vote for any man it chose so' long as he remained a candidate. It was seconded and' carried. A recess of twonty minutes was taken to allow the delegates to Inspect tho Omaha Fourth of July parade, but it was nearly an hour before the convention again took up its work. The members of the new National Committee vera sent to the stand, and while they were being arranged Chairman Branch threw the first bombshell Into the con.'ention by referring In-' a resolution to the slight put upon the Western delerates by the Union Pacific lioilroad Delegate Cannon wanted a hearing on this question and got it. He referred to the treatment accorded the delegates to other conventions, and brought the ccravhntion to its feet with a wild cheer whsn he reached his peroration. Dean ol New York grasped the matter. There vas tin interstate commission, and he nved that it be brought before that organization to see whether the law permitted railroads to discriminate in favor of one national political convention against another. The motion to make complaint to the commission was carried. The Committee on Itesolutions was still wrestling with the platform, and on a statement that It would be two hours before it could report a recess until 2 p. m. was taken.

"'

It was 2:07 o'clock when Chairman Loucks called the convent ion to order, but it waa after 3 p. m. before all the delegates and visitors had secured seats and the raps of the Chairman had resulted in a beginning of business. The immense hall was almost completely filled. It was very tultry and fully a third of the delegates were In shirt sleeves. The first business was tho adoption of a motion that the Itesolutions Committee report. The oommltteo filed on the stage with a platform. Thomas V. Cator of California read tho preamble of the unanimous report of the Besolutions Committee on the platform adopted. Cator moved the adoption of the preamble, and It was adopted by a unanimous uprising of delegates and tumultuous applause. At once on the adoption of the platform the convention broke over all restraint and went wild. The whole convention, audience and delegates, rose to their feet with stirring enthusiasm in a demonstration lasting twenty minutes. It began by TEMPORABT CIIAIKMAN ELUNtirOH. the convention rising In their chairs, cheering, b winging coats, which had been taken off on account of the heat, waving hats and fans, and throwing things in tho air. Several delegates seized Branch, of Georgia, Chairman, and trotted him up and down the main aisle on their shoulders. A number or delegates seized tho uprights used to hold placards designating State delegations, and rushed with th- m to the platform. Banners were also borne there. Shout succeeded shout, whllo eccentric devices were used to prolong the demonstration. Suddenly Taubeneck of Illinois sprang upon a chair and wildly waved a tologram above his head. It dawned upon the delegates that it might be from G rash am and an uproar ensued. The telegram was from Dr. ilauser of Indiana and waa to tho effect that Grcsham would aooept If nominated unanimously. The effect of this telegram was electrical. Thousands of people sprang instantly to their feet and thousands of voices cheered again and again for Gresham. There seemed no doubt that among those wildly ehaertug enthusiast were a majority of tho delegates, whether their enthusiasm was an evidence of their enthusiasm for Ciresham or not. Mr. Brown of Massachusetts wanted special privileges to none given by the convention. Any one would take tho nomination If It were tendered unanimously. He assailed the galleries for three Gresbara cbeern, and a scene of wild confusion followed. Yandervoort of Nebraska moved to hd-

fon ftr Hie &omtda)ttng speeches until 8 o'clook, and as- km I t hat tho nominating speiohes be postponed until the evening seasion. By unanimous consent the motion to adjourn prevailed. On tho opening of the evening session the resolutions committee reported a supplement to the platform, after which the followi ig telegram, which had just boon reoeired from Judge Oresham, was read: Cmcioo, III., July 4. J. is. Weaver Ignatius Donnelly, Ben Terrell, John V. Ht.yt: I have just returned and find yenr dispatch Of the 1st. I must stand by my dispatch to Mr, Orr of the 2L Accept my grateful, aoknowl--edsmicnts. W. Q. OltEBHAM. That settled It. Judge Gresham'S friends novr gave up their efforts. The roll-call oi States was announced for the nomination of candidates for President. The first State, Alabama, was scarcely called, when J. S. Manning of that State arose and promptly placed in nomination a man "the mention of whose name creates such enthusiasm as was never heard in our State. It has been said he was an old war-horse, but I say he is good for a, thousand campaigns yet to come." " Who is 'ie?" shouted a voioe. "Gen. James B. Weaver of Iowa." Prolonged cheers. The plao-3 of Colorado was yielded to Col. 8. F. Norton, of Illinois, who placed Senator Kyle, of South Dakota, in nomination. A Connecticut delegate presented Gen. James Field, of Virginia, Applause. A Florida delegate seconded the nomination of Gen. Weaver, F, W. Wlmberley, of Georgia, seconded the nomination of Senator Kyle. Stephen H. Iiashor, of Illinois, named Senator Van Wyek, ot Nebraska. The mention of Van Wyck's name aroused some ot the liveliest cheering of the evening. John H. Borgeman, ot Indiana, a one-legged soldier, seconded the nomination of Gen. James B. Weaver. Prof. C. Vincent, of Indiana, seconded Kyle's nomination, and another Indiana delegate jumped to bis feet and said one-hf.lf of the delegation was for Van Wyck. Candidates Nsmsd. At 12:30 i,he roll call was begun on the first ballot. From the very beginning of the roll oall Weaver led all his competitors, and bo overwhelming was tho vote cast for him that his nomination was practically assured bei'ore the ballot was half completed. The Weaver infection seemed to spread and as State after State cast Its vote tho Weaver people grew wildly enthusiastic, culmination coming when the result was announced, the cheering being loud and continued. The first ballot resulted: Weaver, 995; Kyle, 205; Horton, 1; Page, 1; Stanford, 1.

Norton of Illinois moved to rpako the nomination unanimous, and it wa-i carried with a cheer. A roll call of Scates was at once ordered on vice-president. There were but two nominations for vice-presidcnt,Ben Terrell of Texas and Gen. J. G. Field of Virginia. Gen. Field was chosen on tho first ballot. Didn't Scare the Janitor. A you n j man who is now well established in his profession told a Washington Post reporter a story of an experience he had when a student in a Chicago medical college. In this college there was an Irascible old janitor upon whom the young medicos were always playing tricks. In the basement of the college were two "pickling vats," and one day the boys decided that oneof their number should slip down and conceal himself between the tanks, and when the janitor made his tour of that portion of the building to appear before the old man wrapped in a sheet. In due course of time the janitor put in an appearance, making his final round of inspection of the building for the night. As the janitor approached the tanks the young man came out from his hiding place and said In a sepulchral voice: "I-want-to-get-out-of-here." The Janitor was unnerved for an instant, then, taking in the true situation, he seized the student by the nape of the neck and around the waist, and saying: "You will not get out Of here; go back where you belong," lifted him ip bodily and threw him into one of the vats, which contained several subjects. The young man was extricated from his horrible position by his companions, who were close at hand to enjoy the janitor's scare, but it wej) several weeks before he could foreet his experience sutUciently to enjoy h is meals. In Devonshire, England, one day recently, a party of young people wore overtakon by a heavy shower of hail stones, which lasted about ten minutes. i and during: that time they felt aa though ; highly ohnrgod with electricity. "The ladies of tho party," soys a correspond ent, "felt t.3 though ants wero running among their hair, which was fastened by steel hairpins. One of the gentlemen held his hi nd to the head of one of the others, and at once tho hair stood on end. This was done several times with the same result, and for two or three days afterward their heads felt the effect of j tho electrical whipping."

PEOPLE'S lARTY IT-ATFORML Fruamble and Declaration of Principles . That Were Adopted. The following Is the platform Bflall" Imously adoped by the People's Party Convention: Assembled upon the ouetindred srd siitteoach anniversary of the Declaration i' Independenoe, the People's party of AmeiitfS in their Brat nat'onal convention, lnvoklns upon their action the blessing of Almifhty Clod, puts for;h, In tha name and on behalf ot the people of this country, the following preamble and declaration ot principles: Fremmbls, The conditions whlcth surtoLnd us best justify our co-operatlou, We meet in th midst Of it nation bionitht to the verse of moral, political and material ruin. Corruption dominates in the ballot box, the Iiesielatttres. the CoiiKreas, and touches even the' ermine of tofl .bench. The people are demoralized; irost of 'the States have been compelled to Isolate thi voters at the polling places to prevent universal intimidation or bribery. The newspapers are largely subsidized or mnztled; publin opinion silenced; business prOstraMd; oar homes covered with mortgagee: labor iinpovwrlshed, and the lands concentrating In the bands of the capitalists. The urban workmen are denied the right ot organization for self-prot-sotlon; imported pauperized labor beats dowc. theis wages; a hireling standing army, unrecognized by our laws, l established to shoot them down, and they are rapidly degenerating into Kurofican eondittons. The fruits of the toll of milion are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented in t ae history of mankind; and the possessors of these, ih tnrn, despise the Iicpablio and isnlanger liberty. From the same prollfio womb Of governmental Injustice we breed the two great olaiwes tramps and millionaires. The national power to create money Is apSropriated to enrich bondholders; a vant public ebt parable in legal tender currency has been funded Into gold-bearing bonds, thereby adding millions to the burdens of the people. Silver, which has been accepted as coin since tho dawn of history, has been demonetized to add to the purchasing power c f gold by duereaslnp the value of all forms of property as well as human labor, and the supply of currency is purposely abridged to fatten usurers, bankrupt enterprise, and enslave Industry. A vast conspiracy against mankind has been org united on two continents and it is rapidly taking possession of the world. If not met and overthrown at once it forebodes terrible social convulsions, the destruction of civilizat ion, or the establishment of an absolute despotism. We have witnessed for more t Han a quarter of a century the struggle of the tiro great political parties for power and plundor. while gr evons wrongs have been inflicted upon the suilerlng people. We charge that the controlling Influence's dominating both these parties liave permitted the existing dreadful conditions to develop without serious effort -so prevent or restrain thorn. Neither do they now promise ns any substantial reform. They have unied tofrether to Ignore in the coming campaign every ssue but one. They propose to drown the ontorieu ot a plundered people with the uproar of a sham battle over the tariff, so that capitalists, corporations, national banks, rings, trusts, watered stock, the demonetization of silver, and the oppressions ot the usurers may all be lost sight of. They propose to fluorines our homes, lives, and children on the altar ot Memmou; to destroy the multitude in crder to secure corruption funds from the millionaires. Assembled on the anniverary of the birthday ot the nation and filled with the spirit of the grand generation who established obr independence, we seek to restore the government ot the republic to the bands of "the 1 sin people," with whose elsss It originated. We assert our purposes to be ludentical with the purposes of the National Constitution "to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of lil.-erty for ourselves and our posterity." We declare that tills republto can only endure as a free government while built vtpon the love of the whole people for each other and for the nation: that it cannot be pinned together by bayonets; that the civil war is over, and that every passion and r-isentmeml which grew out of it must die with it, and that we most be in fact as we are in name, one united brotherhood of freemen. Cu country finds itself confronted by condition j for whioh there Is no precedent in the history of the world. Our annual agricultural productions amount to billions of dollars in value, which must in a few weeks or months bo exchanged for billions of dollars ot commodities consumed in their production: the existing currency supply is wholly inadequate to irake this change; the results are the falling prices, the formation of combines and rings, thi: impoverishment of the producing class. Wt! pledge ourselves that if given power we wlU labor to correct these tvUs by wise and rea sonable legislation in accordance with the terms ot our platform. We believe that the powers of government, in other words, of the people, B.sonld be expanded (as In the case of the postal service) as rapidly and as far as the good sense of an Intelligent people and the teachings of experience shall Justify, to the end that opnession, injustice, snd novelty shall eventually cease in the lsnd. While our sympathies as a party ot reform are naturally upon the side or every proposition which will tend to make men Intelligent, virtuous, and temperate, we nevertheless regard these questions Important as they areas secondary to the great issues now preening for solution, and upon which not only our individual proserlty but the very cxiiitence of free institutions depend; and we ask aU men to first help ns to determine whether we are to have a republic to administer before we differ as to the condition upon which It is to be administered; believing that tbo fanes of reform thin day organised will never cease to move forwtrd until every vrong is rem led, and eqoal rights and equal privt eges securely estehllnhed for 11 the men and women, of this country. We declare therefore: Declaration of Principle. First That the union of the labor farces of the United States this day consummated shall be permanent and perpetual may its spirit enter into all hearts for the salvation of the republto and the uplifting of mankind. Second Wealth belongs to him who oreates it, nd every dollar taken from industry without an equivalent Is robbery. "It sny will not work, neither shall he eat." The interests of rural and civic labor are the same; their enemies are identical. Third We believe that the time baa oome when the railroad corporations will either own the people or the people mast own tie railroads, and should the Government enter upon the work of owning and manseing all xallroads we tihould favor an amendment to the Constitution by which all persons, engaged in the Government scrvioe shall b placed mder a civil-service regulation of the most rigid character so as to prevent the increase of the power of the national administration by the use of such additional Government employes. We demand a national currency, sar'e sound and flexible, Issued by the General C-ovem-ment only, a full legal-tender for all debts, publioand orivate, and that, without tho utteof banking corporations, a just, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to t tie people, at a tax not to exceed 9 per ecu ;, per annum, be provided aa set forth in the Subtreasury plan of the Farmers' .Ulianoe. or a better system; also by payments in (Uncharge of Its obligations for public improvements. 1.

We demand that postal savings banks be established by the Government for the fo de posit ol tne earnings oi tne people ana so wauitr tiXohsna-B. Transportation being a means of exchange and a publle necessity, the Government should own and operate the railroads in the interest ol the people. The telegraph and telephone, like trie postotnoe system, Deing a necessity ior tne transmission of news, should be owned and operated by the Governmentln the lnteretit ot the people. Th.. land. Ineludinc- all the natural sources of wealth, is the heritage ol! tho people and should not ue monopolized tor speculative purposes, and alien ownership of land should be prohibited. All land now heli by rillrcada and other corporations in excesti of -;heb- actual needs, and all lands now owned by aliens, should be reclaimed by the Government and held Cor actual settlers only, Boads. In France the macadam road, without foundation, Is preferred to the tclel'ord, a binder being used with the broken stone after the latter has tieen compacted. The national roads cost more than the department and country roads, as they are constructed for stragotlc purposes, are wider, and cross the roughest and most sijantily populated districts.
