Tlie word consumption' means wasting away, and dyspeptics often waste avay a~ badly as consumptives. Tlie reason people waste away is because either they don’t get enouith to eat, or they don't digest what they do eat. If tlie latter is your trouble, take Shaker Digestive Cordial. Tills will help you to digest your food and stop jour loss of flesh, Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from herbs, barks and juices of fruits, by tlie well-known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. It possesses great tonic and diirestive powers. Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many supposed consumptives (who wtq-e really dyspeptics.) by simply helping their stomachs to digest their foods;,-thus giving them nourishment and new strength.

SfflMS. Populists Believe Outside |nf! -eopes : Intend to Destroy the Party, DEAF TO ALL SUGGESTIONS. Not Willing to Accept the Nominee v of the Democrats. EXPECTED WRANGLE DIDN'T OCCUR. Yesterday’s Session of the Populist Convention Lasted Only a Short Time. I Evening Session Dispensed With on AeCfHHit of Having No Lights—Silwr Party Waiting to See What the Populists Intend to Do—No Demonstrations at the Session — Strong Effort IJeing Put Forth to Indorse Bryan and Nominate a Southern Man to Fill Out the Ticket. St. Louis, July 23.—The PopuM-t and diver conventions were launched vesterday, but neither made much headway, the programme of the silver vention was all arranged in advance, it included simply the adoption of a 16 :o 1 platform and the nomination of Bryan and Sewall, but those in charge )f it deemed it a good policy to go ilowly in the belief that they might, by remaining in session, be able to exercise in influence in shaping thing- in the Populist convention. To-this end they ippointed a committee of seven, headed ay Judge Scott or California, to meet with a similar committee from the Popilists for the puiqiose of reaching a common plan of action. The idea was, perhaps, well conteived, although it is doubtful whether :heir course will be fruitful of results. The anti-Bryan Populists believe that ill outside influences which are being arought to bear upon them to induce ;hem to accept the nominees of the Democratic convention are part of some alot to drive their party into the ‘‘Dems acratic trap,” and destroy and annihilate. its identity, They are deaf to suggestions, appeals and warnings. “The future has no terrors for ‘in the middle as the road’ men,” is their reply to ‘very argument, their answer to every foreboding. They have convinced themselves that if they go marching on, in 'our more years the two old parties will De shattered, disrupted and discredited md they will come “into their own.” First Session a Disappointment. The first session of the Populist .convention yesterday was a disappointment co those who anticipated relentless, bitter war from the drop of the gavel. And it was a disappointment to those who imagined that the galleries would iwarm with people, drawn hither by surosity or sympathy with the deliberations of the convention. There was no wild cat fighting ami the galleries, which will hold 12,000 people, were practically an empty waste. Not over 500 Spectators were in the balconies. The floor where the delegates were gathered were in some respects, crowded with as unique an assemblage as was ever massed under one roof. A single glance showed that they represented the common peoplq—a term in which they glory—that they came from the farm, the mine, workshop and factory. They discarded conventionalities. Fully half of them sat in their shirt sleeves With their coats swung over their chairs. Among them were many picturesque personalities, men who have been known’ as agitators and reformers, for many years were there, but there were also many whose ability and form of character have' given them rank in high stations. Both Factions Rend the Air. The day session which lasted about an hour and a half, developed nothing except possibly that the noisy middle of the road contingent were, afraid to put to the touch their claims. . Senator Butler hopes .to"be the pivot on which the convention will turn. He believes eventually all the factions can beiiarmomzed on his plan to. adopt a Populist platform and nominate upon it Bryan with a southern Populist for vice 'pri'sident His held the demand for the perpetuation ■of the Populist organization which he described as having driven the Republicans to gold and the Democrats to sir- ' vir. To be swallowed up by the Dinuocrats he said, was a danger only eqnaled by the danger of being made the indirect allies of the Republicans in the present caihpaigii'. The Bryan men .on. the whole, however, considered that the victory' so far as there was one lay with them. s There was no demonstrations at the dayTtession.f The delegates, save those from Texas, were unusually quiet, although after they hadUeen once aroused by the display of Lincoln’s picture, they applauded with enthusiasm. Tlie eofivention seated Temporary Uhairnian Butler, listened- to a few speeches and adjourned till 8:30, No Lights lot Night Session. There was no night session owing to an accident which destroyed the electric light connections. A severe storni had passed over the city about 6 o’clock and the wires were blown down. Despite this fact the delegates assembled in the hall and awaited for over an hour in ! total darkness for the lights to bp I turned .on. About a dozen candies were I brought in for tlie use of the newspaper I mem One-was placed on the chairman’s table and another struck in the top of a guide in the middle of the pit. The: effect- -weirdly picturesque. Ghastly faces fluff cred in and out of the rays of lights of the tallow tips. The band played. ;ind the crowds sang. Speeches were made in the darK and delegates appeared,, ready to- say all night if t heii' was any-prospect of light later on.' There wais naturally consider-,, able, apprehension that a pani seize th«crowd and a dife calaiidty re-

sult in the rush for entrances. * The “middle of the road" peonlij became possessed of the idea that Bryan men had put up* a job on them and the hall was not lighted because they fi ared that Hie straight-outs would ruu away witli the convention. They.denounct'ii' it all as a trick and vowed vengeance long and deep. .The incident recalled a sinditir one at the Cincinnati Republican convention of 1876. when the lights wore shtit off at a critical stage just us Blaine’s nomination seemed I assured. But h r kdjiHirns the Convention. At 8;45 Chairman Butler declared the convention adjourned until this morn,i mg. Within half an hour after, the l ist delegate had left tlie hall, all the electric lights were turned on, much to the astonishment of .the few newspaper, men and policemen who lingered in the building. Quite a number of delegates had’stopped on neighboring street corners to discuss the all-absorbing questions ami. it was suggested that they return, but they did not, as it was pointed out that the doors were guarded and | admission would 1 be denied, besides the officers having gone, nothing that might be done would receive their sanction, and therefore, be ineffectual. SILVER EVENING SESSION. Time Taken Up In Receiving Reports of Committees. St. Louis, July 23.—1 t was <5 o’clock wiien the convention was called toorder after the recess. There were about 500 people in the hall, including the delegates. A Kansas delegate moved that the doorkeepers be instructed to admit all the delegates to the Populist convention. The motion prevailed. A committee of three was appointed to notify the Populists they would be admitted without tickets. The committee on rules reported that the order of business should be the receiving of the report of the committee on credentials; permanent organization; special committees; platform and resolutions: nomination of candidates, and that the rules governing congress be used so far as possible in the running of the convention. The report was adopted. Tlie committee on credentials reported that there were no contests and approvt d the credentials of all delegates and that all delegations be allowed to cast full votes. The report was adopted. The committee on permanent organization recommended th' t W. P. St. John of New York be selected for permanent chairman. Charles A. Towne of Minnesota be chosen for vice chairman and R. E. Dufendorfer of Pennsylvania for secretary. ' The report was received with cheers and adopted. A committee was appointed to escort Mr. St. John to the platform. In taking his place Mr. St. John was greeted with cheers. The general trend of all speeches was that the great object was to secure an indorsement of Bryan and Sewall for president and vice president. At every mention of the Democratic nominees the delegates cheered, The rollcall of states was then called for the names of the men selected for the conference committee. The convention then adjourned till 10 a. m. today. BRYAN GAINS STRENGTH. Situation Points to the Indorsement of * the Nebraska Man. St. Louis, July 23.—The situation points strongly to Bryan’s indorsement or nomination. In fact the Bryan managers declare that they are absolutely certain that so far as the- head of the ticket is concerned they are out of the woods. But with regard tcffsewall they admit privately that there is grave doubt and that there is now probably a majority of the convention against the Bath shipbuilder. They are using all their energies to prevent the complications that would follow an indorsement of. ; -Bryan and the nomination of a Populist for vice president. The middle of the road men cannot even get together on a candidate for president. Debs is their favorite, but the Bryan managers say they have word that he will decline the further use of his name. If a Populist is not named for vice president there is sure to be a bolt of some of the southern delegations. But the Bryan managers, it is said, would welcome such a bolt, if it conies with _ victory for the whole Chicago ticket. They claim that they will undoubtedly control-the committee on pepnatlent organization and resolutions, which are to I be announced today, as fiiey have a majority of the state and territorial deleI gations. i It is their purpose if they control to i frame a platform along tlie lines of the Chicago platform with as few concessions to the radicals as possible. For permanent chairman there is a good deal of talk of both Senator Allen and General Weaver, but the former desires to reniain on the floor and General Weaver has been selected to nominate the silver knight of tbo west. I'ER HANE X 1 < HAIRM AN. “.Middle of the Road” I‘eople Select Two Men For tlie Position. St. Louts, July 23.—The "middle of the road” men, through, their steering committee, took action last night which will probably have a very important effect on the convention. Early in the -evening they selected Ignatius Donnelly for their candidate as permanent chairman and sent a committee to notify him of his selection. Mr. Donnelly accepted and it was given out. Later the steering committee held another meeting and selected J. E. Campion of Maine as their candidate for permanent chairman. The committee realized itself in a very awkward, position, having notified Donnelly and secured his acceptance, but Hie reasons given for substituting Campion are that the Minnesota delegation and tlie delegations which the steering committee represented made a great protest against Donnelly’s selection, many declaring they would Hot vote for him. It was also stated by members of the committee that Donnelly was a possible candidate for president and ought not to be presented for permanent chairman. It was also stated that his selection was very obnoxious to the aiiti-Catholio element, as it was believed he.was a Catholic. Many of the lenders vs the “middle of the road,”, and especially Mr. Braneh of 'Georgia, think - mistake has -‘bpen iniide‘tHrd’flmt the action of the comittee will cost the “middle of thp iO ld” men many votes in the couveiition. Mr. Branch is not a m mi’inber of the steering committee, but has been pfoiuineut among the antiBryan force. ”. ..
