PHYSICIAN’S PRESCRIPTION FOR RHEUMATISM

Business and professional men of large means who have taken expensive baths at famous resorts and have spent money lavishly to rid themselves of the tormenting agony of rheumatism have turned to Rheuma and got well. When Rheuma goes in poisonous secretions go out. No opiates or narcotics are used. Rheuma drives out the cause of rheumatism and speedly brings comfort and health, and most druggists will admit it. Two bottles of Rheuma will cost you a dollar of B. F. Fendig or any druggist, and if this purchase does not bring you the freedom from pain and misery you expected, your money is waiting for you.

PAPERS SAY HUGHES WILL BE NOMINATED

EARLY BALLOTS AT LEAST WILL PLACE HIM AT TOP—THEN THE GRIND WILL BEGIN.

Roosevelt Objects Noisy Moosers Defiant and In Continuous Noise-Making Parades Say Republicans Must Take “Teddy” or Third Party Will Again Eleot Wilson—Republicans Generally Pay Little Attention to Such Talk But Reply Calmly That This Is a Republican Convention and That It Is Proposed to “Stand by the Nominee of the Party—Rain Makes City it Scene of Distress and Taxicabs iHave Busy Period.

(Special to The Republican.) Chicago, June 6—Where are we at ? We don’t know. the ground and where the rumblings and thunderings of the convention are heard all day and all night, if one cares to remain up to listen, we admit that we don’t know. If one was to judge solely by the noise and the number of badges and the challenges issued by defiant champions they would say that the convention would name Roosevelt on first choice, but one only has to be here a short time to learn that the noise is not a barometer of the forthcoming convention. 1 In fact, the Roosevelt “rooters” are not any part of the republican convention. They came to attend the Bull M oose -convention and

their headquarters are at the Auditorium hotel just across Congress street from the Congress hotel. The lostleries are connected by a subway and the Roosevelt rooters remain at their own home only long enough to form a parade behind a band or to commit a yell or two and to learn the tune of a song and then they march over to the Congress lobby and'create what they apparently consider a big Doom for the colonel. Their appeals, however, fall on deaf ears for it is evident that the Republican convention has no though of nominating Roosevelt and will go no further than to consider his wish with reference to one of the fifteen or twenty men proposed as candidates. This means, if the marching Moosers speak with authority, that the third party will kick over the traces and run “Teddy” whether or no. The papers say that Hughes wiii be nominated and that Roosevelt will fight. Just what he has against the justice aside from the fact that ML Hughes has not pledged himself to a sufficient preparedness program is not apparent but his noise-makers and the newspapers say that he won’t stand for Hughes, and there you are. Eliminating Hughes there is probably no candidate that stands a better chance than Charles Warren Faii’banks. He is respected in every state in the union. Even the Moosers are very kindly in their expressions of him and two or three parades from the Auditorium to the congress were made in the interest of a Roosevelt and Fairbanks ticket. Evidently that sort of ticket would suit the Moosers mighty well.

The Sherman backers have been making a lot of noise. Bands and parades despite the rain have marched to the Congress and shouted for him at intervals during the day and evening. Cummins, of Iowa; Burton, of Ohio; Root, of New Yoik; Weeks, of Massachusetts; and Knox, of Pennsylvania, all have supporters, but Knox is not a candidate and there is some doubt" about what Pennsylvania with its big vote will do. Soipg say that Boise Penrose will swing ‘t to Roosevelt. Next to the Fairbanks headquarters in the Congress are the-headquar-ters of the woman suffrage committee. Mrs. W. S. Parks, of Rensselaer, has been a visitor at these headquarters and is wearing a Roosevelt badge. Through her the writer met one or two suffragettes of the pronounced uncompromising type. They issued a challenge immediately to the effect that if the Republican party fails to incorporate an equal suffrage plank in its plptform it will be defeated. If a person was to get frightened it eypry threat it would be just as well to abandon the convention and go home. Mrs. Parks and her friends are hoping to arrange for a woman's suffrage day at Fountain Park this year. The suffragettes have leased the Blckstone theatre and are holding sessions there each ofternoon and evening. Their parade is to take place this afternoon at 4 o’clocx, “rain or ; shine.” \ Peter Nomensen, of Dwight, 111.,

KITCHENER DROWNS IN NORTH SEA

% Meets Death With Staff When Cruiser is Sunk On Way to Russia— Nation In Mounting.

London, June 6.—The news that Earl Kitchener, secretary of state for war, and his staff, who were proceeding to "Russia aboard the cruiser Hamphsire, were lost off the Orkney Islands last night, was the most stunning bk|w Great Britain has received since the war began. This is the second shock the country has sustained within a week. The other was when the newspapers appeared Friday evening with the first intelligence of the naval battle in the North Sea in the form of a list of ships lost, with virtually no intimation that there was any compensation m the way of enemy losses. The bulletin telling of the death of Kitchener gave the country even a greater shock. Kitchener was the one outstanding personality whom the people talked of and believed ,in as a great man, notwithstanding newspaper attacks, which at a former period of the war threatened to undermine his popularity and the public confidence in him. The Hampshire was sunk at about 8 p. m. last night, either by a mine or a torpedo. Four boats were seen by observers on shore to leave the ship. The wind was high and heavy seas were running. Patrol vessels and destroyers at once proceeded to the spot and a party was sent along the coast to search, but only some bodies ancl a capsized boat were found. There is little hope of there being any survi-' vor3. a ■

who owns land in Jasper county, is attending the convention. He is strong for Lawrence Y. Sherman, but Fairbanks would suit him mighty' weld I am stopping in the Y. M. C. A. hotel on Wabash Avenue near Bth street. The hotel has 1,823 rooms and is a model of cleanliness and good management. My room for four nights costs $1.60, or 40 cents a night. The rooms are small, have a single bed, small mirror and one clothes post, but there is not room for a chair. The toilets and baths, tub and shower, are handy and the hotel has made a great hit with convention visitors who found the big down town hotels all-taken by reservation. We can recommend the Y. M. C. A. hotel to any who are coming to Chicago for the convention or at any future tune. The rate is 40 cents for as nice a bed as you will want. The regulations provide that you vacate your room by 9 in the morning and don.’t enter it again before 4 irf the afternoon. r I will make my first visit to the Coliseum in the morning, going down with Chairman McLain and Sheriff McColly, who came up this, afternoon. Thursday and Friday look to be the big days. GEO. H. HEALEY.
