Obitua rj. Elia Sovine was born July 27. 1575. Died, at the home of her parents: June 12. ISfW. Aged ITyears. I<> months and 16 days Ella was the esteemed daughter of Simon and Margret Good, of Washington township. Adams county. She was married September 1, 1894. A husband, son. father, mother, four brothers and three sist.ers are left to mourn their loss Great grief has come to this family, but bowing to the will of God they say "The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away." They also take this opportunity to thank the many friends who so kindly assisted them during the sinkness of their beloved daughter If we could trace dyspepsia to its source, it would lead back to our kitch-* ens. In fact, the secret of good health is good cooking. If well cooked, foods are partially digested - , if poorly cooked, they are less digestible than in their raw state. If you are a victim of faulty cooking? that is. you suiter from dyspepsia., the rational cure must he looked for in an artificially digested food, and a food which will at the same time aid the digestion of other fdbds.' Such a preparation virtually rests the tired digestive organs’, thereby restoring them to their natural strenght. The Digestive cordial, as prepared by the'Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just such a preparation. and a single 10 cent bottle will convince you of its value If your.druggist doesn't keep it, he will be glad to get it through his wholesale house. Laxol is the best medicine for Doctors reccomend it in place of cantor Oil. Lack of vitaljty and color-matter in the bulbs canses the hair to fall out and turn gray.

At i the moment the doors were thrown open | there were perhaps 100 people in the I hail, including sergeants, ushers, newspaper men and a few favored guests who had been admitted early by the rear door. While th. band, located at the rear of the hall in the top gallery, played a lively air the crowd came in | with a rush. The front ro\vs ot the ' balcony were tilled quicker than it i takes to teli it, spectators coming down I the aisles on a run and preempting i What by each was deemed the most j available position from which to see and I hear what was t.» constitute the work i of the convention. The feature of the delegations was i the presence of Mrs. A. D. Leach of Sullivan county as a delegate.

W. D. Bynum of Marion moved to lay on the table, but this was howled down by a loud majority. A demand for a call of the connties was made, but before it could be proceeded with Mr. Shanklin gained the floor and said he came in no spirit of selfseeking, though he had had the honor to be considered by some of Irs friends for delegate-at-large. however' that the preference of the distinguished governor of Indiana was for Major Menzies, and in view of the latter’s pledge to faithfully observe instructions, asked his friends to support the choice of Governor Matthews. There were shouts of “No” when Mr. Shanklin begged leave to withdraw and the call of the roll was ordered to proceed. Indications to the adoption of the motion to substitute Shanklin for Menzies, when Chairman Holt was prevailed upon to stop the roll--eall-as beingout—ofU ordejx after_the withdrawal of Mr. Shaitklin ami to put the motion on the adoption of the report of the committee on permanent organisation, which was decided carried. Mr. Bell’s introductory remarks as permanent chairman were in a humorous vein. He complimented the size' and enthusiasm of the meeting and stated that he was glad to see them full of .tight, as the fighting would only result in making more Democrats. THE PLATFORM. Adoption of Resolutions as They Caine From the Committee. 1 The report of the committee on resolutions -was read as follows by Judge McNutt of Terre Haute and was adopted. These are the important paragraphs: Resolved, That we reaffirm. oUr adherence to and faithin the Democratic doctrine of bimetallism, and therefore we demand the immediate restoration of bimetallism by the free and unrestricted coinage of both silver and gold, as primary money, at tile ratio of 16 "to 1, without waiting the co-operation of Great Britain or any other foreign power, all such coinage to be full legal tender in the payment of all debts, public and private, , TARIFF —Resolved, that, we believe the existing tariff laws will be fully equil to all demands for needed revenue for the expenses of government "economically ad-

ministered under the conditions which will rise from tin' restoration of bimetallism. i. i. ‘ !

I'tiXD ISSI'ES . We protest .'igainst the I in ■re.i.-e ■■il ilm public debt.'by tlm issue.Of 1 iiitiiiest bearing bonds, or ot.hel'wise, in a i t’.nicol peace, and if t he redempt ion vlnusiv lel' i< ailed Sherimlu redempt ioif act ot !'•;?> mil htirizes, as is claimed, the right.

' tlie e\j'ii-s mnl definite aiitlmrity of eon- : ;. : c-' a- to each issue of such bonds, we ' demand that that provision of said net be I unconditionally repealed. The Democratic party has never believed that a public debt is a public blessing. We demand that obligations of the government, of every form, be paid and re- . deemed, in Conformity with the laws under which they were issued, in coin, gold I iipd silver, at the option of t hegovernm.' nt ' of the United States, and not at the option of the creditor. PENSIONS—To the gallant survivors of themrtny of the Union, to the widows and children of those deceased, we tender our steadfast regard and gratitude. We favor the prompt adjustment, the punctual and regular payment of all pensions as the same ift'crue. We believe that the pension is a vested right. We heartily indorse the rule of t'omniissioner Murphy that no 1 name shaH lie arbitrarily dropped from the rolls, mid the fact of eniislnient and ■ service should be. deemed conclusive evidenceagainst prior disease or disability. CUBA—That we do most earnestly sympathize with the people of the island of Cuba in their gallant, struggle against tin Spanish monarchy for freedom and independence; We believe that public war exists in Cuba, and that the parties thereto ought to be accorded all the rights of belligerents. ELECTION OF SENATORS—We are in tavor of the election of Untlet^States senators l.iy direct voteof the peOfile of the several states. The Democratic party is the faithful and consistent ’adherent of that great principle of popular gpvernnieiit known as personal liberty of the citizen and opposes intolerance of whatever character, and especially opposes any attempt to control the habits of the people where such habits are consistent with the public order and general Welfare. MATTHEWS FOR PRESIDENT-Re-soived, That we indorse the administration of Hon. Claude Matthews, governoisof Indiana, as having been wise, prudent and patriotic, and that his practical ability, liis executive genius and capacity for pub lie affairs, as well as bis high personal integrity and character, and his popularity with the people alb show him to be well worthy of higher honors. We* therefore earnestly coniniemLhini, in full contidenceof success at t he election, to.the..Deiuoeracy of the- I .nite,i .States.a> a candidate lor the presidem y. And the. delegates from Indiana to the national convention are hereby instriicted_to i nst their votes in his favor furo re-- d--ht, lii-i, List mid .-ill liic time, mid tomse i ll lionor gble. efforts to secure his tiom - lull i< n. The ffil’delegates'selected lo r«-iir<-sent the D'-inoe.i.'.< yof Indiana in tin- Cidc.igi/national convention are instrrn . d to vote as a unit upon all questions involving .plhti'orni or candidates in that convention. Senator Turpie was introduced lined cheers mid delivered a silver address of a few minutes length. Subsequent to this occurred the most stirring scene < f the session up to this time, when W. D. Bynum sought recognition, for the purpose of insisting upon the right to debate the resolutions and was ruled out yf order. Bynum was vigorously hissed by a large proportion of the delegatus when he refused to take his seat upon demand of the chairman, and an hour was wasted in a futile attempt to settle the question of recognition, it having to be finally determined by a vote, of the counties on rollcall. John E. Lamb having moved that Mr. Bynum, be allowed five minutes in which to address the convention. The vote resulted 1,231 ayes to 511 nays, Marion county having cast 135 in favor of the hearing. The gentleman took the stage amid cheers. He proposed an amendment to the platform covering the exact language of the plank of the national convention of 1k92 and wanted to know if tins was Democracy four years ago -why should backs be turned upon that resolution now.' [A voice “We've turned our 1 backs on you.” ] He closed by saying that under no eireuinstances would he turn his back upon the administration he helped to elect-.

NOMINA! IONS. On the call of roll for the placing of names before the convention the Ninth district offered the name of Sena or James Sellars of Montgomery county, the Twelfth district/he name 6f B. F. Shively of Bend and ,lv> Second district insisted upon putting John’G. Shanklin before the convention. Mr. Shanklin immediately took the floor to wiflidraw and to second theTimqpfrntion of Shively. Mr. Bynum sprung a surprise by presenting the name Os George. W. Cooper of Bartholomew county. The rpllcgill had ohly begun when Mr. Sellars announced his withdrawal. The result of the vote was not announced, Air. Cooper moving that it bo made, unanimous, stating that what he had heard made it evident that the vote was more than 16 to 1. He spoke at the time of the differences on the financial plank, but insisted that there should be perfect harmony in the campaign. Alt; Shively,Jaffer being rficorted to the stage by a committee appointed for that purpose, spoke briefly but pointedly on the honor imposed and the issues to be fought out. Lieutenant Governor. The call for nominations for lieutenant governor produced the following timber from which to select: John C. Lawler of Washington county was offered by the Second district, Michael A. Sweeney of Dubois county by Third district and T. E. D. McGinley of Tippecanoe county by the -Ninth. This was the vote: McGinley : Whole number of Voles, 1,747; necessary to a clioic<,,_M74.

Cicero Northern of Creetrsbui'g, in behalf of Mr. Clarke, in a speech explaining that on account of Clarke's close association with the Silver league, and the possibility that there might be criticism of his course in allowing his name to go before the convention, withdrew the name of the Decatur county gentleman and chairman of the state league, expressing in his closing remarks sincere thanks to those who had insisted upon placing the name before the delegates. Mr. Bridges, in view of the fact that Marion county had already received recognition in the selection of Mr. Fanning for auditor, also withdrew, leaving the field clear to Morgan Chandler, who was nominated by acclamation.
