" If physicians obeyed this solemn admonition in the marriage ceremony nnd protested with the honest nnd scientific rea- eons in their possession half of the unhappiness - ness , sickness nnd death in the world would cease to exist. The man or woman who has developed symptoms of that dread disease consumption should not marry until cured. Consumption should bar the way to wedded life. It 1 a crime to transmit to future gen erations the death T dealing germs in the blood of the consumptive. Many physicians pronounce consumption an incurable disease , In this they arc mis taken as thousands will testify , Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures 98 per cent. of all case * of consumption. It corrects all disorders of the digestion. It promptly im proves the appetite and makes it keen and hearty. It tills the blood with the tissue- buildinif elements of the food , and acting directly upon the lungs , drives out all im- jpurities and disease germs. It makes rich , pure blood , builds new , firm , healthy flesh , ind strong springy muscles. It soothes and invigorates the nerves. Thousands have testified to their permanent recovery from consumption through its use , after they were given up by the doctor * and all tope was gone.

( Special. ) William Irving of Omaha was In Ashlaml the past week to ascertain the feasibility of establishing a creamery In this city. ' Mr. Irving , after a consultation with several of the most prominent and substantial farmers of this vicinity , found that the scarcity of cons was the greatest obstacle to the cuc- cess of hli phn , Ashland being more de ficient In that respect than Waverly , Louis ville and other surrounding towns. Mr. Irving has a feasible pl-in to offer. If he can secure the old brick store on Main street , Just west of the Salt creek bridge , which has bem vacant for many ycara , for a period of three years free of rent , he will put In a good creamery , which la something our people have long felt the need of. It Is quite probable that Mr. Irvlng's offer will be accepted. Ralph Hall , the 13-year-old son of Coun cilman Samuel B. Hall , had ono of bis eyes seriously Injured ono day last week by the thoughtlessness of a playmate , who snapped a rubber band In the lad's face. While he was In Ashland Tuesday , Rev. J. W.

Settlement was effected by the village returning the company the engine and paying $30 on the amount due.

Pnvor of n Conlllloii Under the Standard of , a New Party. LINCOLN , Nov. 10. ( Special. ) There Is considerable anxiety In populist circles , es pecially among those who have assumed con trol of party machinery , as to the probable outlook for fusion next year. They seem to see the handwriting on the wall which says that they cannot play the three-conven tion game much longer. While these popu list politicians have been nervous on this subject ever since their last state convec tion , they have up to this time tried to keep their trouble quiet. So acute baa the situation become , how ever , that It has pushed Itself to the front and Ins culminated In a curious letter pub lished in the Independent , the official popu list organ. The letter Is written by Repre sentative A. E. Sheldon , who was ono of the populist leaders la tbo late legislature and who Is now holding down a job as sec retary of the State Printing board. Mr. Sheldon figured prominently In the populist ring of the three-convention circus last Sep tember and he lets out several open secrets which were formerly dented with vigor In the populist camp. Mr. Sheldon's appeal starts out as follows. "If the men who voted together at the polls la Nebraska November 2 for the state ticket elected are sincere , earnest and practical In their desire for relief from corporate rule In the state and nation they will meet In one convention next year. There has been considerable discussion of the origin of a new party. To all Intents and purposes for the stute of Nebraska there Is a new party. The trouble Is that for sundry Illogical rea sons three separate organizations are main tained for the new party. The maintenance of these separate organizations Is fraught with the gravest danger to the common cause. Not one In 1,000 of the 100,000 voters who cast their ballots for Judge Sullivan knows how close the triple convention came to breaking Into three separate columns , each headed for defeat. H was a hairbreadth escape , as a few men can amply testify If placed upon the witness stand. " Mr. Sheldon goes on to argue In favor of the populists allowing themselves to be completely swallowed by the democrats nnd cites a number of Illustrations going to show what ilsks are run by maintaining the present triple alliance. He Insists that It Is not only possible to have a single state con vention next year , but wants every one who voted the fusion ticket this year to partici pate on an equal footing In the caucuses , primaries and conventions that are to put In nomination all the state and local tickets for 1S9S. "Nebraska ought to lead the way , " he siys , "for such a union. From every part of the nation men are looking to this state for an example In the present conflict. The populists of this state have just set a splendid example for the reform forces of America. In spite of the fact that their fellow populists have been snubbed and spurned by the free silver dpn'ocrals In almcst every state In the union , this year the Nebraska populists have gone loyally to the polls and elected a democratic supreme judge of this state. " ONE-SIDED BARGAIN. In exchange for this snubbing and spurnIng - Ing Mr. Sheldon wants the populists to re turn good for evil by giving up their sep arate party organization und merging with the democrats. He says the populists In Ne braska ought to lead the way by holding county conferences during the winter and proposing a un'on at the primaries of all who supported the allied ticket this year for the- selection of delegates to union county , district and state conventions. He cites as precedent the convention held last summer In Madison county , whose proceedings and nominations , ho says , were ratified by the separate party organizations. The letter con cludes by saying that unless some such con solidation Is speedily effected a silver victory In 1000 cannot bo expected. It Is not known whether Representative Sheldon Is voicing the sentiment of the state house machine leaders , who have * steadily protested against discarding any of the three disguises of the silver party , but his pro posal Is certain to draw out considerable dis cussion of the subject throughout the state. A prominent populist of the First district , who made speeches all through the last cam paign , and who has had hopes of receiving the fusion nomination for congress next year was Interviewed a few days ago re garding the results of the state election. During the conversation his attention was called to the fact that the fusion party had raado ltn gains In the cities and towns , with the exception of Omaha , and that the repub licans had made corresponding gains In the farming and stock-raising districts. He ac counted for this by saying : "It shows that all the thieves and rogues of .the towns are getting into the populist party because It has the offices , and some of the farmers have taken alarm at this and are getting out. If a few more of the dishonest element climb Into the populist band wagon , all of ua who believe in a clean party will have to get out and hunt a new one. I believe tbat the pop ulist party Is being ruined by the convcrtn who have come In during the last three years and who are mostly office-seekers. " A num ber of the old-line populists In this part of the state are expressing themselves ID the same way and there is a strong feeling p'e- valllng that between the democrats and the ofllce-seekero the populist party has been pretty effectually swallowed up.

The scenes Included a "Roman market where English slaves at tracted Pope Gregory's attention ; the meetIng - Ing between Pope Gregory and the monks with Klrg Ethelbert on the Isle of Thanet and King 'Ethelbert's ' baptism at Canter bury. The central figure of the production is St. Augustine. The costumes , scenery and chants were historically accurate. The play , however. Is described as a "dreary entertain ment. " There arc only four of the London theaters whoso doors are not opened , although the season Is hardly under way and two of the four will be filled early In next month. Vet for all this display of theatrical activity hardly more than half of the thirty play houses which struggle frenzledly for the patronage and the money of the Londoners are paying their running expenses. Various theories are advanced 'for the failure of London theaters to pay the rcost credited one being the Increase of suburban play houses Is keeping suburban play-goers at homo. Another factor which unquestionably counts Is the price charged for seats. An orchestra stall In a London theater costs ten shillings (52.60) ( ) , while other seats are correspondingly high. Yet. no theater can cut the rates without losing caste. The meat noteworthy success Among the money-making minority Is "Tho Golsln , " which , after a two years' run at Daly's theater , gives no signs of lessening popu larity , while among the newer native ventures "Tho White Heather , " the most sensational melodrama ; Henry Arthur 'Jones' comedy , "The Liars.

A number of flre en gines are still playing upon the smoulder'ng ruins which mark the scene of the great ! conflagration near the ga' ' oral postolllce yes- j terday. Walls are falling every now and i then. It Is Impossible to accurately estl- , mate the damaga done , but the direct lots will probably be below SlO.OOO.Ono. Consols and India 3 per cents have fallen heavily , oa the belief that the loss's will necessitate heavy sales by Insurance companies , and most of the insurance companies' shares have dropped 10 to 30 shillings. The Evening Standard , In Its financial arti cle this afternoon , says It Is believed that the bulk of the fire losses will fall upon American insurance companies. The last flames dlsappsared by 11 o'clock this morning , but as this message Is for warded water Is still being poured upon the red-hot masses of ruins. The burned dis trict Is surrounded by enormous crowds of peopls and the railroads are running excur sion trains from the country. In spite of the magnitude of the disaster , only two fire men were slightly Injured during the work of extinguishing the flames. About 300 firms are seeking for now offices. The estimates of the amount ot damage done range from $10,000,000 to ? CO.OOO 000 , hut ac cording to the best opinion the loss Is about $10,000.000. The official report says the cause of the flre Is unknown. A large number of warehouses from five to six stories high have been burned and have partly fallen , the whole covering an area of 200x160 yards , bounded by Nlcboll square , Edmund's Place , Jowln Crescent , Australian avenue. Paul's alley and Red Cross street. The Insurance agents take an critlmlstlc view of the losses , their estimates rouging from $1,500.000 to $4,000,000. It Is a fact that dozens of the burned out firms were not In sured , In some cases because they were con sidered to bo undesirable customers , and In others because the locality has long been con sidered dangerous by the Insurance com- pinlcs. The latter assert that the sensational rumors regarding the Icescs have been promoted meted en the Stock exchange In order to In- fiuenco stocks.

The black eoldlers of < he First battalion , West India regiment , broke barracks on Thursday night lat ( November 4) ) , and proceeding to this city assaulted every citizen and policeman with whom they omo In contact , the police In particular suffering. About 100 of the men gathered In the parade gardens belong ing to the government and played bavoc with the trees. They cleared the yard of visitors , chasing tiom with sticks. The military au thorities were telephoned to , and a picket of 200 men under awhite ofllcer named Duck wus seat to the scene. The oflicer galloped away from his men , and riding at full speed down < o the parade gardens , a distance of two miles , ran his horse right Into the cen ter of the riotere. Before they could recover from their surprise ho orJered them to fall Into line , and snatching the caps from a couple of the worst s'uouted : "You are all right. " Some thirty were obedient to the word of command , und form- Inu these up the gallant ofllcer proceeded to make prisoners of as many as he could. By this time the original provcut guard arrived on the scene and were > dlspatched along tbo streets , several arrests being made. There 1s no doubt that tbo action of Major Duck prevented a riot such as occurred in 1894 , wben the soldiers broke barracks , and tying their razors on sticks cut ant slashed some thirty policemen and citizens , among them two Inspectors.
