(LOGICAL 8TANDARD BEARER OF |
THE DEMOCRACY.
_
(APPEALS TO THE VOTERS.
'In His Name and with the Great
Cause Victory Is Assured to
the Party of the People—
Why Court Defeat?
—
Friends of Governor John A. John- i
Son of Minnesota have Issued a letter j
and a pamphlet that together const!- j
itute an address to the Democrats of i
the country. Doth make a strong ap- :
peal to Democrats everywhere to ex
ert themselves to Bee that the Denver
convention shall be a deliberate body
that will look the field over and
choose a candidate who, while repre
senting modern Democracy, can win
•X the polls.
The letter, which Is signed by Fred
erick R. Lynch, treasurer of the Min
nesota Democratic 8tate Central Com
mittee, who has opened offices In th*
Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago, Is as fol
lows:
Dear Sir: You are a Democrat, and
It Is because you are a Democrat that
this is addressed to you, with the feeh
Ing that you will exert yourself to give
the party one of the greatest essen
tials to victory, a strong and accept
able candidate for the presidency.
The Democracy of the nation have
for 12 years been losing ground and
the belief is general that under the
old conditions defeat is certain. For
months the party has been drifting
toward an autocratic convention,
where popular choice is to be subor
dinate to personal will.
Minnesota Democrats, feeling that
party duty transcends individual in
terest, have had the courage to
break away from the drift and offer
the party a candidate who, if nomi
nated, can carry more states than any
other living Democrat, and who would
toe practically certain of election. Re
telling against the doctrine of despair,
■we take it for granted that there is
no necessity for the ravens of defeat
to perch on the banners of Democ
racy in 1908, simply because they did
In 1896, 1900 and 1904.
Conditions industrially, financially
*nd politically are such that we have
this year the opportunity of a genera
tion to win the presidency.
If you and the other Democratic
leaders of the country will but re
epond to the invitation and the oppor
tunity extended to you by the Demo
crats of Minnesota, we can escape
from the blighting tradition of defeat,
and rehabilitate the party and the na
tion by a great political victory next
[November.
There is still ample time to see
that enough delegates are elected to
the Denver convention to make that a
deliberative Democratic body that will
give the party new hope and new inspi
ration and a winning candidate. To
this end, we solicit, your co-operation
and will heartily welcome and con
aider any suggestions you may offer.
ILLINOIS CARP SOLD AS FOOD.
Fishermen Market 20.CCO.000 Pounds
of the Article Seme Years.
Bloomington, 111.—Fishermen of Illi
nois annually realize $250,000 to $500,
000 from the sale of earn, more often
the latter sum, according to the an
nual report of the Illinois fish commis
sion. just issued. The annual catch
of this species of Psh runs to 20,000.
000 pounds in some years. The long
and formidable indictments against
carp as being unfit for human food
are quashed by the state fish commis
sion.
The hoard takes upon itself the duty
of replying to the charges, declaring
to be fal ;e the reports that the carp
injure the feeding grounds of wild
fowl; that they injure other fish, and
that they are not food fish. The hoard
admits that there are species of fish
that are of superior quality and of
finer eating, but to the many people
who cannot obtain bass, salmon, trout, 1
shad, mackerel, etc., the carp are a
“boon.
The consumption of carp in the j
•eastern sea tov«v.s. tons of Illinois carp |
going east every month, is surprising
ly large. It has been declared that the
“planked white” fish that appear so
often on New York menu cards is
nothing but carp, so delicately cooked
by expert chefs as to make the decep
tion impossible to detect.
Illinois is the great carp state of the
onion, and great as is the commercial
value of the fish, this is insignificant
compared with its importance as food
for other fish. Young and adult bass
feed upon carp and like it.
Quartette of Dogs Sings.
Malden, Mass.—A dog quartette that
elngs “Way Down on the Suwanee
River.” with a pretty good semblance
of tune,, was the star feature of a so
cial at the Bethlehem Methodist
church the other night.
The dogs are owned by Rev. R. a.
Sheridan, the pastor, and he says he
trained them himself. The basso is a
bulldog. A little terrier takes the so
prano, while two hounds sing the
tenor and contralto. Dr. Sheridan says
he picked them out of hundreds of
dogs because of their fondness for
music, and that it was not much work
to teach them. The singing was a
qualified success.
Box of Coins in Roof.
Rising Sun, Md.—While removing
an old cedar roof that has been on the
dwelling of Mrs. James Watson of
Fallstown. Hartford county, since its
erection, in 1794, the contractors, Kerr
& Cclder, found between the roofing
and plaster a tin box of copper and
silver coins valued at several hun
dred dollars.
According to the dates the coins
were placed there when the house wa j
built. The shingles, though worn on
exposed edges, were sound unde'- the
lappings, and many of the wrought
Iron nails were in good condition.

FIND MYSTERY IN OLD CLOCK.
Always Strikes One Before Death of
Any of the Family.
Richmond, Ky.—The old-fashioned
F. Crook, aged 70 years, of Kingston,
■ grandfather’s" clock owned by Ben
which has not run for a quarter of a
century, has mysteriously struck just
before a death invaded the family for
the past 16 years. The story is told
by Hon. R. H. Crook, county attorney, j
Mr. Crook says though the old j
clock was but an ornament for the
parlor, yet a few days prior to the
death of his brother, William Crook,
in 1891, the timepiece chimed out
the hour of one. Three years later
their mother passed away, and just
before this sad event the old clock
again struck one. Ten years later,
about 1904, the ancient timepiece
chimed two, and within a week the
little twins of Mr. Crook’s sister, Mrs.
Collins Yates, died the same day.
Last week while Miss Margaret
Crook was watching by the bedside of
her stepmother, she was startled by
the sound of the long-silent old clock
as it pealed its fateful note one, and
within five days death had claimed
another victim from the Crook house
hold.
There is no explanation. The clock
has not been wound for years. No one
is superstitious in the Crook home.
It is a mystery, that is all.

SHOES LAST THIRTY YEARS.
Not Nearly Worn Out, Says the Proud
Owner.
Darby, Pa. — Shoemakers would
starve if all shoes were like the pair
that Robert Green of Main street has
been wearing for 30 years, and which
he had made from the skin of a calf
that he killed.
"It was the finest calf 1 had ever
seen as a butcher," said Green; "on’y
nine weeks old and yet it weighed 335
pounds. Harry F. Singles and I were
associated in the butcher business at
the time, and when we bought the calf
for $12 we determ’ned to kill it and
make two pairs of boots and two pairs
of shoes each out of the hide, which
was the finest we had ever seen. You
couldn't kill a calf 30 years ago in the
morning and have the skin converted
into shoes by nightfall, for there were
no chemical processes then as now.
The skin had to be oak tanned and it
was 13 months before we got our skin
from the tanner. It weighed 35 pounds
green and only 11 pounds tanned, but
it was a beauty.
\\ e gave the skin to a boot-maker
and we each got a pair of boots and a
pair of shoes out of his hide. We
were considered dandies with our calf
skin boots and shoes in those days,
and we often boasted of having killed
the original owner of the skin from
which we made .<ur footwear.
"I wore out the boots, but I have
been wearing the shoes now for 30
years—not constantly, but giving
them good service, and there is many
years' service in them yet. The shoes
cost mo four dollars to have made.”
Horse 15 Years in Prison.
Altoona. Pa.—After being kept a
close prisoner for 15 years because It
ran away and upset a buggy, a once
vicious horse was liberated the other ‘
day and was sold by the owner to Pius ,
In low, a drayman.
During the 15 years the horse wa*
never out of its stall, although its
master treated it kindly and fed and
watered it regularly. When liberated
the animal was fat, but weak and
could scarcely walk. Its hoofs were ft
toot long, and eight inches were re
moved from each of them before shoes
were put on. t

Just a Littlle heart-to-heart Talk
We are, who address this talk to you, a well known firm of wholesale and manufacturing chem
ists. We have had offered to us for inspection and approval thousands of remedies and formulas com
pounded to cure diseases of the kidney and bladder. Many of these have been wholly without merit,
some of doubtful efficiency, some good for some peculiar conditions. Conducting as we do a thoroughly
equipped laboratory, we are fully acquainted with the potency and relative value of drugs when com
pounded; in short we are in no wise financially or ethically related to the bogus “Dr. Cure Alls.” WE
DO NOT GIVE OUR INDORSEMENT TO ANYTHING unless we are thoroughly convinced through
OUR OWN KNOWLEDGE of its unqualified merit.
We refer you to any bank or to any druggist in the U. S. as to our financial responsibility. We
mention this because we want to say that while we can’t, with a certain preparation of ours, cure every
one, we will, if we don’t benefit YOU to your complete satisfaction—if we don’t take away that pain
from your sore back and put your kidneys, liver and bladder in first-class working order, why then, in
that case, if you have taken our complete course, we will refund you your money through the druggist
of whom you buy the preparation. It is known as DR. NOTT’S MELON-SEED KIDNEY CURE.
Ask your druggist for it, he will verify our statement.
Just a word more. We do not know of any remedy in existence that we cannot analyze in our
laboratory—that is to say, that will defy discovery on our part, of its make-up. Nothing in the way,
therefore, to prevent us from having the one best thing, and in DR. NOTT’S MELON-SEED KID
NEY CURE we have it.
