The meeting wa3 harmonious and pervaded by the old time spirit of brotherhood. All recognized that the time was opportune for again taking up the work of the people's party and pushing it vigorously along.

CONFERENCE AT COLUM BUS EFFECTS AN ORGANI ZATION. We congratulate all reformers upon the substantial progress of populist principles such as, honest elections majority rule through the initiative and referendum government money versus , bank note money public own ership of general utilities opposition of land monopoly. . It is recommended that each county organize and select by a referendum vote or otherwise, delegates io attend a national conference of populists and reformers, to be held at St. Louis, Mo , February 22, 1904, and that the names chosen be sent to Dr. R. II. Reemelin, secretary, 36 Garfield Place, Cincin nati, O., not later than February 1, 1904. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE A. GROOT, President DR. R. H, REEMELIN, : Secretary. Columbus, 0., Sept, 26, 1903. call. He spoke at some length. The substance of his remarks was that fusion had run its course and was a thing of the past; that the democratic party was again under control of the Cleveland element, and that the ac tion of Bryan in relation to the Iowa democratic convention which turned down the Kansas City platform and his' supporting Clarke, the Palmer Buckner gold democrat, who was re cently nominated by the Ohio demo crats for United States senator led him to the conclusion that -he '(Bryan) would either support the reorganized democracy or sulk. Right here it may be well to say that Mr! Edgerton is and for many years has been a per sonal friend of Bryan, and at St. Louis was made secretary of the populist national committee to represent the interests of Mr. Bryan. He at that time resided in Lincoln. Mr. Edger ton stated in his talk to the conven tion that while he thus had no hope of Bryan standing by his principles to the extent of leaving his party, he had information that some prominent and- influential Bryan democrats, whose names he was not at liberty to disclose, would bolt the party and act with the people's or a new party. Ha read quite a lengthy letter from an Ohio democrat severely criticising the action of the Ohio convention in the nomination of Clarke, the gold dem ocrat, and virtually promising to join the people's party in the event the fcold bugs won out in the democratic national convention, . Mr. Edgerton . ; ';) i". fi ' . i . '.a : , . said he had called the meeting to har monize the populists of the state and u possible the other reform elements. and to arrange to organize the peo ple's party in the state. He conclud ed his remarks by saying that since the Denver conference there w2s but one people's party and that fusion was forever ended. Brief addresses were made by a half dozen or more." A; committee, consisting of Messrs, Florea, Hillis, Oldham, Teagarden and Dixon, reported a plan of organization which resulted as follows: Chairman of the state committee James H. Hillis, McFall, Mo.; vice chairman, I. J. Teagarden, Hamilton; secretary, Dr. J. S. Cantrell, North- view; treasurer, A. R. Torrey, Hamil ten.

Livingston, West Plains; U. A. Towns, Bethany; P. J Dixon, Chillicothe. Frank E. Richey, Oriel building, St. Louis, was elected Missouri's member of the Denver conference national or ganization commjjttee. And the "following resolution was unanimously adopted: , "Resolved, That we are opposed to fusion forever hereafter with any po litical party." The World seems much elated over the success of thp Missouri conference and says: , "Populists will soon be in a singing mood, again. Let us sing, brothers. Wall street will tremble when the re formers again take up the chorus, 'Good-bye, old party, good-bye.'" . Kansas Populists , ? - The .Kansas Commoner,! tViehita. says; that Major A: M. Harvey was named by the . populist conference to represent Kansas on the national re organization committee. The confer ence also declares against fusion with the democrats next year. When the question of fusion came up there was considerable difference of opinion. Some of those present want ed to invite the democrats to aid in the fight in Kansas next year. Others wanted to pass a resolution refusing any aid from tho democrats. Major Harvey, who was chairman of the conference, steered it between the two opposite propositions, but the general sentiment was against fusion with the democrats next year and in favor of a straight populist ticket.

There is Nothing to Prevent Yen Employing Substitute to Do Its Work There is such a thing as forbear ance ceasing to be a virtue even in the case of one's stomach. There is no question but that some stomachs will stand a great deal more wear and tear and abuse than others, but they all have their limit and when that limit is reached, the stomach must hi reckoned with as sure as fate. ,.Th best way and really the only effective way to treat your stomach when It rebels is to employ a substitute to do its work. This will give the weakened and worn-out organ an oppc rtunity. to rest and regain its strength and health. Stuart's Byspepsk. Tablets relieve the stomach of its work by taking up the work and 'doing it just as one set or shift of workmen relieves anotner. They actually digest the food in just the same manner and just the same time as the digestive fluids of a sound in the stomach, they are digestive fluids for they contain exactly the same constituents and elements as the gastric juice and other digestive fluids of the stomach. No matter what the condition of the stomach is, their work is just the same. They worn in their own natural way without regard to' surrounding conditions. The stomach being thus relieved by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, is restored and renewed by Nature and the rest of the human body does not suffer in the least by reason of its failure to perform its work. A WisrhnsiTi tnsn says "T siiffprod .... the pangs of dyspepsia for 10 years. I tried every known remedy with in different results until I was told of the remarkable cures of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. I bought a box, be gan taking them and forgot I had a stomach. Three boxes cured me com pletely. I'haye had no trouble what ever for a year and have an appetite like a harvest, hand and can eat any--thing that is set before me without fear of bad results."
