Kvangellat II. W. Jamison of Sioux City,
who Is conducting a series of special meet
ings at the First Congregational church, lec
tured to men yesterday afternoon, at Odd
Fellows' hall. Tho large hall was comfort
ably filled nnd Mr. Jamison listened to with
evident Interest. Ills subject was "Man
hood, Its Powers and Dangers; or, the Need
of Self-control." At the close of thu lecture
cards wero handco round for thoso who do
sired to live a Christian life to sign. They
were quite numerously signed. Mr. Jami
son la mi agreeable talker.
At tho morning service at tho Congrega
tional church Kvangcllst Jamison occupied
tho pulpit and preached on tho subject,
"Forces That Mould Christian Character."
He spoke first of the value uf an outward
profession of faith In Christ aB a powerful
Influence leading, a man to live a true life.
"Tho world expects more of n man who pro
fesses to he a Christian and this expectation
Is a power In making him better." Urand a
man a criminal and you help to keep him a
criminal. Label a man a Christian nnd thnt
will help him to bo a Christian. Kxpect a
man to do right and he Is cnorc npt to do
right."
lie spoke nlso of tho Inwnrd forces of
truth and the spirit of Cod In fashioning
n man into tho Christ-likeness. "Skepticism
says n man can commit suicide ns n Inst re
sort In time of failure. Christianity snys
all things, whether failure or succem, sick
ness or health", work together for good to
them that love fiod. There Is no such thing
as failure to thu Christian. Christianity is
tho only power that can take a man safely
through this universe. It tcacluw life in
every service and duty, lifting everything to
the height of a divine mission. Serving Cod
Is serving man."

POPULISTS HEAD FOR OHIO

The convention, It was stated, would be
nsked to name a committee to attend the
democratic and silver republican conventions
In Kansas City. This body will be empow
ered to ratify tho nomination of the two
parlies, which are expected to agree on a
national ticket, but In disc of their failure
to put up a satisfactory running mate for
the Nebraska statesman It wilt be authorized
to name a populist candidate. The object In
giving such extensive powers to a committee
It was lntlmnted was that tho party tnlgut
hold n club over the democratic party to
Insure a realllrmatlon of the Chicago .plat
form. Assurances wero declared to havo
been given that this would ho done, in whWi
caso It was said nothing stood In the way of
a satisfactory fusion of nil three of tho
parties, thus avoiding tho "Tom Watson

PKORIA. III., May C Tho republican
s'ato convention will be held hero on Tins
day. Hundreds of politicians, most of them
delegates, nro nlready on tho ground. Tho
Interest In the convention Is extraordinary.
Two factions nro struggling for control
tho Cullom faction nnd the Tanner-Itnnccy
faction. Senator Cullom Is here In person.
What Senator Cullom will nak of the con
vention, or whether ho will ask anything,
will depend on tho strength shown on or
ganization. If his friends nro In control the conven
tion will either name him ns the party's
candidate for senator or instruct the dele
gation for him for vlco presidential nominee.
No republican ntato convention In Illinois
hna named n senatorial candidate since 1S5S
nnd tho sentiment against the policy Is so
strong that any effort to ndopt It this year
will probably fall.
Governor Tanner Is expected to nrrlvo
from Springfield tomorrow. Ho will en
deavor to defeat nny resolution Instructing
for Senator Cullom for either senator or
vlco president. All candidates for governor
nro now on the ground. Judge Hnnecy dc
clarro emphatically that ho will be nomi
nated on tho first ballot. Congressman
Reeves, Judge Carter and Judge Ynteu say
tho Honcey claims aro greatly exaggerated.
Tho Tanuor-Hnnecy faction will control the
temporary organization of the convention.
John J. Iirown of Vandalla will be temporary
chairman. For. permanent chairman tho
Cullom faction will probably name ex-Governor
J. W. Flfer nnd the Tanner-Hnnccy
faction will pfobably support a Chicago
man probably John M. Smyth.

WASHINGTON, May O.-Routlno business
probably will occupy the greater part of
tho senate's attention during the present
week. The resolution offewd by Teller, ex
pressing sympathy for the Doers nud a de
sire that the government extend to both
Great Iiritaln and he South African repub
lics Its friendly ofTlccs In bringing tho prel
crit war to a closo will be called up tomor
row. It is the Intention of tho Colorado
senator to pres3 his resolution to an early
vote. It probably will bo referred to tho
commltteo on foreign relations, but Teller
will Insist that It bo reported In some form
at an early date.
Hale, cither tomorrow or Tuesday, will
bring forward tho naval appropriation hill
and very likely the greater part of the
week will be devoted to Its discussion.
With the latltudo of debate allowed under
tho scnato rules, It Is quite probable that
senators will discuss tho lljcr resolution,
the Philippine question and other matters
relating to tho foreign affairs of tho gov
ernment while tho naval bill Is under con
sideration. On Thursday the Montana senatorial caso
will bo called up, but It will not be nllowed
to Interfere with the conslderntlon of tho
appropriation hills. It Is tho undoubted
purpose of the senate leaders to bring about
an adjournment early in June, tho first
week If possible, and unless the unexpected
should happen, nothing will ho permitted
to delay adjournment beyond the middle of
June.
I'ronrniii fur limine.
Tho attention of the house this week will
be occupied with varlouB miscellaneous
business, except such time ns mny bo de
voted to the consideration of conference re
ports on appropriation bills, which will be
given tho light of way. Tho dislro for an
adjournment early In June makes It abso
lutely necessary to expedite tho supply hills.
Tho most Important plcco of general leg
islation to bo noted upon during tho week
will bo tho amended senate bill to amend
tho general pension laws. This Is known
as the next Grand Army of tho Republic
bill. The principal changes It purposes to
mako In existing laws aro provisions for
aggregating disabilities and equalizing rat
ings and to Increase the limit of Income of
widows pensionable under tho act of 1800
to $2.,0. This bill will be placed upon Its
passage tomorrow under suspension of the
rules. The bill appropriating $1,000 for tho
militia of the several istntes also may bo
called up under suspension of the rules.
Tuesday, under R)v order made on Friday,
will bo given to tho committee on claims
nnd Friday the war claims. It Is not Im
probable that tho contested election case of
Pearson nentnRt Crawford, from tho Klnlb
Nor.th Carolina, dUtrlct1, may be called up j
Wedtiesday or Thursday.

Inquiry from Chairman Loud of the house

postmaster genernl hns sent him a letter
relntlvo to n fraud alleged to havo been
practiced In connection with tho weighing
of tho malls in 1894 and to tho general sub
ject of tho possibility of bucIi attempted
frauds becoming effective.
The compensation received by railroad
companies for carrying the mails Is deter
mined by tho character of the service per
formed, tho facilities furnished and the
average, dally weight of mall carried. Tho
actual weighing of the mulls takes placo
onco every four years for a period of not

out be.tig dctee'1 ty thi d partnunt then
Is, e-a..s the letr a pes lbi.i'y of tKe rate
of eompen atiun being unduly In reascd.
Whllo the possibility exists, the depart
ment exercises great vigilance at smh times
through Its weighers and pcatnl employes
nnd special agents detailed to do tho w irk.
They discover nnd Intercept such suspicious
matter, traco it to ifs origin, route of dis
patch nnd distinction, ascertain its weight
and, If proven fraudulent, the weight is
deducted, thus maintaining the proper
avcrngo weight to bo considered In the ad
justment of the pay of tho roulo involved.
Special reference Is made to Mr. Fivhtlg,
who, in 1S98, claimed to havo knowledge of
frauds in connection with mall weighing.
Ho was requested to furnish Information
thnt would enablo the department to localo
tho route nnd parties Involved. Tho In
formation desired was not then disclosed
by Mr. Fechtlg. loiter, on November 2,
1S99, Fcchtlg trnnsmltted nn nflldavlt nnd
letter, tho only specific allegation In which
that could be used by the department being
thnt he participated In an attempt to Il
legitimately Increase the weight of tho
malls passing ovctji Colorado route. Tho
2.'0 pounds of mall, If sent ns claimed,
when reduced to a dally average, says the
letter, could havo no effect on tho compen
sation. Ills -claim that the government Is de
frauded In tho sum of $10,000,000 n year by
tho effect of fraudsln weighing Is charac
terized as extravagant and entirely out of
question. In conclusion, It is stated that
Fechtlg did not glvo nny Information to
sustain his claim, although he wns nsgtircd
that the department was anxious to secure
evidence of any such act.

given In favor of Morrow's Kld-no-olds, the
best romedy that has ever been sold in
this city for backache, kidney nud urinary
disorders, slceplcmncss and nervousness.
Our druggists report wondorful cures and
state that Kld-ne-olds aro dally Increasing
In tho opinion of our people. Kld-ne-olds
act directly upon tho kidneys and nerves
and rcotoro them to their natural condi
tion. Good kidneys mako good blood, good
blood makes strong nerves, Kld-nc-olls
mako good kidneys nod strong nerves,
Mr. It. C. Tunkey, 1802 Miami St., says:
"1 havo suffered for several year with kld
noy backache. I hud spells of sovcro back
aches, norvouineas and could not sleep well
at night, and also had urinary disturbance
of an annoying nature. I took Morrow'
Kld-ne-olds according to directions, and I
was greatly relieved of all my formor
troubles. I Intend to continue the uso of
