Curry, a patrolman, of Key West, Fla.

hands so I was incapaciated for duty.
One night when I was in severe pain
and lame from it my wife went to the
drug store and came back with a bottle
of Chamberlain’s Pain Halm. I was
rubbed with it and found the pain had
nearly gone during the night. I kept
on using it for a little more than two
weekes and found that it drove the
rheumatism away. I have not had
any trauble from that disease for over
three months. For sale by Gilligan &

The Markets
South Omaha, May, 8.—Special
market letter from Nye Schneider
Fowler Co.
A moderate run of cattle brings a
little stronger market this week as
was expected. While no sharp ad
vance has as yet been made still there
has been a stronger feeling with a
shade higher prices amounting to
fully 10 to 15 cents on desirable kinds.
Don't forget, liowrvef, that the mar
ket has been easing off for three weeks
and it will take several advances like
this to put it back where it was. Com
mon cattle were very draggy and no
higher. Stockers and Seeders were a
little firmer. Lighter receipts from
now on are very generally predicted.
Don’t overlook the slump in veal
calves of 75 cents per cwt.

Stale Senator Thomas F. Grady of
New' York, whose name was connected
with the raid on a pool room which ex
cited attention recently, has long been
a prominent figure on the Democratic
side in the New York legislature. The
raid In question was made in the course
of District Attorney
Jerome’s crusade
against pool rooms,
and the place was
alleged to be the
headquarters of a
jjooI room syndicate
making large prof
its from its pro
j scribed business,
f The books of the
m syndicate showed

w W ously referred to ns

$30,000 In the profits of the concern.
At the time of the raid some one rep
resenting himself to be Senator Grady
called up on the telephone for the pur
pose of placing a bet, and a detective
held a conversation with him. On the
strength of theso facts it was reported
that Senator Grady would be sum
moned before the grand jury to ex
plain what connection, if any, he hud
with the alleged illegal organization.
Senator Grady was born in New
Y’ork In 1853, and it was in 1877 that he
first went to Albany, where he served
In the assembly. He was first elected
to the senate in 1881. The senator has
quite a reputation ns a wit. He was
once called upon to cpeak at a meeting
which had been called for the purpose
of starting a new club. The senator
said he thought the club business was
being overdone.
"I was persuaded,” he explained, “to

There has been a great deal of com
ment throughout the country over the
proposition made by John Temple
Graves, editor of the Atlanta Georgian,
when he suggested at a dinner In hon
or of William J. Bryan that tho latter
nominate Mr. Roosevelt for president
at the Democratic national convention
next year. Mr. Graves in his speech
contended that Mr. Roosevelt stood for
Democratic principles and that to
make him the Democratic candidate
would be putting
the principle above
the man and the
party below the
people. Mr. Graves
is a great-grandson
of that eloquent
statesman of a past
generation, John C.
Calhoun, and is of
ten spoken of as
tho successor of
t|ie late Henry
Grady In the art of
oratory. He was a I
candidate for elec
tion to the United J0,,N TEMPIE 1
States senate a oka\ es.
year ago, and at that time a curious
controversy arose between him and the
manager of the Atlanta Nows, of which
Graves was editor. The matter was
taken Into court, and the manager of
the News, named Charles Daniel, oh- ■
tallied an injunction restraining Mr.
Graves from "writing any matter or
from placing matter written by others
upon said editorial page which is de- j
voted either to the porsonal enhance- ,
meut of the plaintiff, Graves, or which j
relates to or Is intended to influence
the political candidacy of the plaintiff." ]
The Injunction was secured In con- (
nectlon with a cross bill filed by Man- <
ager Daniel to the suit of Editor
Graves, who alleged that the lnte'Sam
uel Spencer, the president of the
Southern railway, had purchased 217 j
shares of stock from Daniel and had (
entered into an ulliance by which the
paper was to be friendly to the inter- f
ests of the Southern and Central Geor
gia railroads.
Dautel In his cross bill made this re
tort: “So great is the necessity of the
plaintiff for adulation that any dreary

Mr. Graves’ oratory possesses great
finish, nnd he Is a mnster of vigorous
and pointed phraseology.
Alain Leroy Locke, the first negro to
