No Man is Stronger Than His Stomach f A (tronf man ia strong all over. No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its •onsequent indigestion, or from some other disease •t the stomach and its associated organs, which impairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach b weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition contained in food, which is the source of all physical strength. When a man “ doesn't feel just right," when he doesn’t sleep well, has an uncomfortable

feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and deipood* •nt, he is losing the nutrition needed to mske strength. Such • jwm should use Dr. Piereo’a Golden Medical Discovery. It cares diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood, invigorates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes ths nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH BHD STHENGTH TO THE WHOLE BODY. You can’t afford to accept a ttertt nostrum as a substitute for this ssn •loohplic medicine of known composition, not even though the urgent dpfiH l ■ay thereby make a little bigger profit.

Indianapolis, Ind., April 29 —(Special to Daily Democrat)— Urged by his friends to dispel any apprehension as to his attitude in the senatorial nomination fight, John W. Kern at noon today formally accepted the honor conferred on him late Thursday afternoon by the state convention. Mr. Kern declined to discuss the convention’s action. Indianapolis, Ind., April 29 —(Special to Dally Democrat)—John W. Kern, the democratic senatorial candidate, this afternoon received the following telegram from Governor Harmon of Ohio: “I felicitate both you and the party. In war the greatest honor is to be a volunteer, but in peace It is to be drafted.” Indianapolis, Ind., April 29 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The fact that John W. Kern has so far refused to either deny or affirm the report that he will not accept the nomination for senator has caused the suggestion among the Taggart politicians that their leader, Tom Taggart, may have outwitted the progressives of the party in Thursday’s convention. It is argued that Kern would not knowingly be a party to the trick, but his attitude causes some democrats remaining here today to say that the party may yet be without a candidate. Kern twice declined the honor and then left the hall. Taggart voted his strength for Kern. “Never before has it been known that Taggart admitted defeat,” said a convention visitor today. “If Kern holds to his decision then the machine and Taggart has won a daring find treacherous coupe against his enemies.” -— . a ■ •— ON EXTENDED BUSINESS TRIP. , Fred Reppert left Friday for Cincinnati and from there will proceed south to New Orleans, where he has a large cattle sale to cry. From there he will go to San Antonio and Bader, Texas, where he has a few days* work. He will then go to several places in Georgia and thence home, byway of . St. Louis, Mo., where he has three sales. He will be absent from the city about two weeks. — * o Workmen at the Steele &, Weaver Racket store are engaged in removing the partition, which will throw the building into one long room anl pave the way for the building of the addition at the rear.

|l l|l ■ U— l « 11l The United States government, i through the health department, will make a vigorous campaign for the extermination of flies as a carrier .of disease. In this work Dr. J. N. Hurjy, i secretary of the state board of health, .' will wage a relentless war on flies and in this work he will have the hearty co-operation of the local county and city health officials. Flies are not only a nuisance as a pest, but they are undisputed carriers of disease germs of all kinds, with which their bodies are ladeu. They breed and multiply in filth, garbage piles, manure dumps and their presence in the house is said to be a sure indication that the interior is not scrupulously clean as no files will stay where it is clean and nothing can be found on which they can feast Flies are anything but epicureans and they are just as happy, buzzing around a cuspidor as they are while feasting on the most dainty dish which may grace the table for the noonday meal. Every house should be screened to keep the flies out, and even then it is quite often a difficult task to keep them from slipping in. The London “Lancet” the leading medical journal in the. world, says that the best and simplest fly-killer is a weak solution of formaldehyde in water (two teaspoonfuls to the pint.) Place in plates or saucers throughout the house. Ten cents’ worts of formaldehyde will last an ordinary family all summer. It has no offensive smell, is fatal to disease organisms, and is particularly non-poisonous except to insects. Thursday evening at the Knights of Columbus hall a farewell reception was tendered Father George by the local members before he left for Kokomo. Over one hundred members were in attendance and a very good social time was enjoyed by all. During the course of the evening Father Wilken was called upon to make an address and in a very pleasing manneh he hade farewell to Father George in the name of the brother Knights and thanked him for his many favors shown to tnem during his four years' stay here. Father George responded to the compliments paid by Father Wilken and bade them a farewell from this place. E. X. Ehinger’also made a short address in behalf of the council, which was much appreciated. After this a number of fine selections were rendered upon the piano by Tony Holthouse, which were well received and he received many compliments from those present A smpker and banquet was then given, making it one of the most pleasant times ever enjoyed in the K. of C. hall. It was brought to a close with a farewell for the last time and tendering of wishes for success to Father George in his new position as assistant pastor at St. Patrick’s church at Kokomo. Father George left today noon over the Clover Leaf for Kokomo, and a number of his friends were at the station to see him off. A purse made up by the members of the lodge was given Father George as a token of their remembrance and (good will toward him, for which he expressed his thanks in a very cordial manner. ■« - o The funeral of Arthur Ford, the Geneva young man, who met instant death Wednesday afternoon by having his neck broken by being struck by a clutch lever while operating a gas engine, was held this afternoon at 1 o'clock from the United Brethren church by the Rev. Waldo. —o- I- .. OVERCOME BY GAB. While working on the gas main, repairing a leak, James DeWitt of Ninth street, was overcome about noon today. He had been working In tjio trench and feeing faint from the escaping gas, stepped out to get some fresh air, when his companions were horrified to see him . fall over uncrinscious. A cab and medical aid was summoned and he was conveyed to his home. He was soon restored and It is thought he will soon' recover with no 111 effects. It nearly resulted tn his asphyxiation, however, and his escape Is considered almost miraculous.

—-— > Indianapolis, Ind., April 28—(Special to Dally Democrat) —Thronging Tomlinson hall to an Impassable condition, shouting in the enthusiasm of pgrty spirit and loyalty, thousands of democrats from every portion' of the state attended the opening session olj the long-looked-for state convention last night. The crowd was noisily demonstrative and promises that this year’s convention was to be the most enthusiastic and biggest for years were borne out at the outset. Party leaders were cheered, party principles were applauded and Governor Marshall was greeted with a demonstration that was ovatlonal and long continued. The convention adopted the report of the committee on rules and permanent organization and adjourned .it 9:15 o’clock. * The auditorium, where today the , democratic party of Indiana will cast 1 its lines for the November battle, was :- filled long before the time set for the f opening of the convention. The crowd , was noisy, but orderly, and left no ~ doubt of its belief m democracy and 1 the future of the democratic party in r Indiana. Music by the Indianapolis 1 Military band whiled away the thirty minutes before the opening of the i convention, but the strains of military - airs were drowned by shouts and ap- , plause as the great crowd recognized . certain of its favorites taking their - places on the platform or on the conr vention floor. i WOMEN JOIN IN APPLAUSE, t Governor Marshall’s reception was r prolonged and genuinely responsive. » When the governor appeared on the platform just a few minutes before i the opening of the session, the storm ; broke. Men stood on their chairs and i shouted,.'clapped their hands and i pounded tbe floor with canes. Hats • were everywhere in the air. From tho balcony reserved for women visitors > came the flutter of handkerchiefs and > the patter of applause that was swat- ' lowed up in the outburst in the remainder of the hall. That there might be opponents to some of the governor’s plans apparently affected to little eitent the general damonstration in his honor. The applause with which the convention greeted him continued for many seconds and broke out afresh when Stokes Jackson, state chairman, presented him as the temporary chairman. The announcement was the occasion of a fresh outbreak that was even more demonstrative than the first. The governor was cheered repeatedly throughout his speech, T at sometimes at the end of almost every sentence. ... After he had concluded he introduced Charles T. Jewett, whom he requested to preside in his place until permanent organization was effected. ************** * BITS OF DEMOCRATIC * * * WISDOM FROM THE ♦ * GOVERNOR’S LIPB. * ************** I make but one request from this' convention, namely, that the discussion shall proceed along the line of principle and not along the line of policy; that out deliberations shall represent measures, not men; and that however diverse may be the views, they shall be expressed in the language of gentlemen with Barge charity for different views and wfth a fixed determination to abide cheerfully by the result. . Let us not think we are trustees under God. Let us remember that wp are mere representatives of the people, to be rewarded or condemned in November as we are here and now keep or break faith with them. Two years ago, In this same hall and at such a convention as this, I gave my solemn pledge that If elected governor, I would, so far'as the executive . department was concerned, restore to the people constitutional government. That pledge was accepted and I personally am debtor to every democrat and to many republicans in Indiana for the support they gave me. Whether I have faithfully kept that pledge, is not for me to say. We do not believe that the fathers of the republic Intended to erect an edifice with a Queen Anne front for the few and a Mary Ann rear for the many. . It is no business of an executive to have policies. It is the business of parties to formulate policies in accordance with constitutional principles, and it Is the duty of legislative bodies to faithfully carry out the ' pledges which have been made by parties to the people. Thus far, ‘ in our * system of government, there has nev- ■ er ablded in the executive department 1 the right to demand that tbe legisla- ’ tore shall enact certain laws, and that - the courts shall construe them In ac--1 cordance with executive will. ■ ’ 1 had scarcely assumed the dis- • charge of my official duties, when, upon seeking to use my appointing pow- ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ . jrfaEg

> er. , repuWtae .uprem. court ; prived me of my prerogatives by dis- .- Interring this ancient corpse and gals vanizing it f e The hour . has gone by in Indlnaa i when |250 Vouchers can be executed -for “shovels, etc.” without knowing j. how many shovels the people get and t how much “andsoforth” they pay for. 3 The time has come when vouchers r cannot be issued for |2 and checks . given for $1; when vouchers cannot r be issued for goods never received; - when books cannot be kept so that the i .*1” is taken out of the “ten thousand” [ column, thereby making nine thousand for the offlciaL t Public morality must rest upon prit rate morality. More and more I find that the enforcement of a law rises > above the moral sentiment of a comt muntty is only spasmodic. I hope I i have demonstrated that I am not alt lied wfth interests, factions or per- [ sonal movements in Indiana. There i are some old-fashioned democratic I doctrines to, which I still adhere. I i do not believe that governments were i instituted among men for the purpose -of saying what they shall eat, what > they shall drink or wherewithal they - shall clothe themselves. It has been said that I am the author of a proposition for this convention to indorse a candidate for United States senator. I deny that statement. The proposition is not mine, but the democratic party's, and I simply voice what I believe* to be democratic sentiment , We need fewer generals and more privates. The jeaftnrey of generals fill more volumes than their victories. It is better to let the army select their own generals than to let the generals select their army. Stone stand for measures, not. men; some stand for men, not measures; but the democratic party fn- Indiana stands for measures and men. More stringent regulation of the mines In this state should be required by law, usihg every human endeavor and mechanical device for the preservation of lite; The mine Inspectors should be appointed l by the mutual agreement of the mine owners and mine* operators; so that in the preservation of life and 1 limb injustice may be done to none.. The whole system of protection is, as was wisely declared by the democratic platform; in? 1892, “a fraud and robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. It must inevitably result. If It be protective ih its character, in giving to certain men* subsidies and bounties for which they make no return to the mass of the people at large. It Ik wrong* ftr morals, unjust tn legislation, and, notwithstanding the decisions of the courts, unconstitutional.” Alas! the insurgent has zeal, but not according to knowledge. Opposed to both these classes, the democratic party of Indiana now, as always, proclaims Ite unalterable belief that no government has the right to levy by tariff or other taxation a single dollar which does not go Into the treasury of the United 1 States, or to take a penny from the pockets of one individual to put fn the pocket of another; • ■ — o ■■ Another one of the petty burglaries that have occurred so frequently over tire city during the past several months was committed Thursday night sometime between closing hour at 10 o’clock and opening time this morning at the Hale warehouse, and the money drawers robbed of about nine dollars In change. There was no evidence of any force Used In entrance but the door leading from the main office into the warehouse was unlatched and It is supposed that the burgers entered the warehouse through any of the easy ways there, and then walked into the office, where the work was easy. The windows and other doors of the office were all bolted and had this door been closed, as usual, it would have been impossible to affect an entrance without bursting the door. The money taken was in two drawers —one containing about six dollars and the other three dollars. This was to pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters and such small change. It is thought to be the work of young boys. - —, —, 0 - Fred Hoffman returned from Union City, where he had gone to submit a bid for the erection of i fine new home there.

The day will bet long, rei membered by all as a most pleasant ’ one. Speaking of the democratic; state convention, the Indianapolis Star • says of Wednesday evening’s senions : “Mrs. Marshall attended the session ; with a party of friends who occupied ■ one of the boxes in the right upper balcony. In the party with Mrs. Mar- ■ shall were Mrs. John E. Laiph, Mrs. Peter M. Foley, Mr. and Mrs. Merer i dlth Nicholson, Mr. and Mrs. William i L. Elder, Mrs? John W. Kern and Mrs. : Lew Ellingham.’* i — i The Epworth League of the M&ht ; odist church at Preble will on next Sunday evening give a program which promises to be very entertaining, and great preparations are being made-tor the occasion. The program will! be similar to the one given on chib dren’s day, which has always proven a success in the past, and no doubt this one will also be a success. Everybody is invited to attend. Many will attend the annual com vention of federated women’s; clubs of the Eight congressional district to be held in the Winchester Presbyterian church Tuesday, May 3rd, opening at 10 o’clock and closing at 5 o’clock.

Miss Irene Schlrmeyer of the Euterpean club, this city, is o nthe program for anr instrumental solo. On account of many attending the club convention at Winchester next Tuesday the sewing club has- postponed its meeting until Wednesday afternoon, when Mrs. Daniel’ Spratag will be hostess. The St. Vincent de Paul society was well represented yesterday afternoefa at their regular meting: at> fte home of Mrs. L. A. Holthousb. The meeting was a pleasant and profitable one. Mr. and Mrs. W.

This morning they disposed of ten fine Holstein cows, which they shipped to Floyd M. Pelton of Lorain county, Ohio, which he will use on his large dairy farm at that place.. Mr. Peltjm, stated that it to a fftffieult thing to purchase this, line of cattle and he has been watching up Adams county for some time when he was in need of stock. They also sold a fine calf a few days ago to a Mr. Swart* es who was very well pleased with hte purchase. For a milch cow there to none better than the Holstein, which te getting to be the choicest «* tte market They also wish to mention a few records of this fine breed, which will be very interesttog to a number of people here.
