I ' "
PLAIN TALK
To Cnturrli Sufferers.
Every person" suffering from catarrh In
Its many forms knows that tho common
lotions, salves and douches do not euro. It
Is needless to arguo this point or to clto
rases of failure, because every victim o
catarrhal trouble knows It for himself It
be has tried them.
A local application, It It does nnythlng a
all, simply gives temporary relief; a wash
loticn, salve or powder cannot reach tho
cat of the disease, which ts tho blood.
Tho mucous membrnun seeks to relieve
the blood of catarrhal poison by secreting
large quantities of mucous, the dlschargo
sometimes closing up tho nostrllH descend
Ing to the throat and larynx, causing an
irritating cough, continual clearing of th
throat, doafnesB. Indigestion and many
other disagreeable and persistent symp
toms.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must bo
n Internal treatment; a remedy' which will
gradually cleanse the system from ca
tarrhal poison and remove the fever ami
tor.gestlon always present In the mucou
Membrane.
The best remedies for this purpose are
Eucalyptol, Sangulnarla And Hydrastlu, bu
the difficulty has always beou to got these
raiuame 'curatives comDineu in one pain
table, convenient nnd ettlcient form.
Recently this has been accomplished and
tho preparation put on the market under
Ihe name of S jart b Catarrh Table s; the
trr large, pleasant-tasting lozenges, so tha
Ihey may slowly dissolve In the mcu h, thus
reaching every part of the mucous mem
krone and tlnoll) the stomach and Intes
tines.
An advantago to bo considered also I
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no
cocaine, morphine or poisonous narcotics
o often found In catarrh powders, and tb
use of which often entails a habit more
dangerous than tho disease.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
rueglts at SOc for full sized package and
re probably the safest and moat effectual
catarrh euro on tuo market.

rcss this forenoon on the ncdj of tho

((tor Count)' I.nlr.
NEBRASKA CITY. Sept. 26. (Special
Telegram.) Very little enthusiasm was ex
cited by tho advent of tho llrynn-Smyth-Lewis
combination upon the city tonight.
Outside of a few scattering people who nnd
como In on the afternoon trains from
nearby towns, less than twenty-five peo
ple met tho special train ot the Missouri
Pacific stutlon nt fi o'clock. No com
mittee met them at tho depot. They made
their way to the hotel as best they could,
followed by the band, and marching club
from Lincoln, which they brought with
them. This same marching club, togother
with the local Bryan club, nbout fifty In
number, made up tho torchlight procession
which paraded tho streets preceding tho
specchmaklng. Less than 1,000 people sood
nbout tho court houso grounds to listen to
the addresses. George Torapkln, the chair
mnn of tho democratic county central com
mltteo and the man who, when the news
of the suit against tho starch company
was conveyed to him, denounced tho ac
tion nnd stntcd that he had tho personal
assurance of the attorney general that this
suit would not bo brought on. account of
tho harm It would do tho city, presided
and Introduced tho speakers. Before tho
meeting, John Mattes, Jr., chairman of tho
mnss meeting held Saturday night, pre
sented to Mr. Smyth the resolutions adopt
ed nt that time, who replied that he would
glvo them duo consideration. These reB
olutlons were signed by severul hundred
business and laboring men. Including all
of tho county officials wltti ono exception.
Mr. Smyth In his opening sentences denied
any Intention of seeking to close tho starch
works. Ho said ho merely wanted to take
tho plant out of tho hnnds of tho Starch
trust nnd restore It to tho control of tho
Argo company. At present the Argo com
pany has but ono voto In twelve In tho man
agement of the affairs of tho United Starch
company nnd the latter may voto to CI030
down tho Argo plant nt any time. He went
on:
No man who condemn trout rnn find
fnjlt with my nctlon and be consistent. If
I should not proceed ngnlnst n trust In this
city because to do ho might Injure one of
your 'industries, then for the amo reason
I should not proceed against the Ice trust,
the grHln huycrs' trust or the school furnl-
turo trust because they have estab sh-
ments In Omaha which might be Injured by
my iicuon. rentier snojiu I move against
tho .Standard oil trust because it lias n
plant (t importance to the city of Omnhn.
And with equal force every community in
the state which has a trust within Its
midst could say, "You shall not act, the
law must remain ti ueml letter nnd vonr
duty unnerf ornipd." Do vnu want that?
i.,ei me put it in another rorm. suppose
after Mr. llrynn has been Inaugurated on
the 4th of March next a committee of citi
zens from New Jersey nnd Delaware shou'd
wait upon him and urge him not to enforce
tho nntl-trUHt law of the rn ted States be-
chuso to do so might nffect Injuriously
greut InstltutloiiH doing business In their
states. What do you think Mr. Urrun's
answer would be? What would you have It
I'-xnmiile for All Men,
With snmn ahnw nf vennin flu, Preen tina
declared that my action was due to Mr.
nryan s unegeti teacningn or hatred for nil
forms of oorporato wealth. I never knew
that .Mr. Bryan tnjght such doctrine. And
ho certainly doen not. Hut, however, that
muv bo my action 1h Inst wlmt tho nrtlnn
of tho attorney general of the United States
should have been If he performed his duty.
"i-iv in it iiuntii nimuit, ttKuiupi
trusts tr.o.-n revere. Minn the' Nebraska
statute. It not only forbids hII combina
tions In restraint of trade nnd pronounces
iiKuiiiKi mem a punisnmeni or nne nnu im
prisonment, but also provides that any
property bo'onglng to n trust In the course
of transportation from one state to nn
othr may be seized by the government and
confiscated to Its use. If the attorney gen
eral of the I'nlted StatCH had done his duty
unner mui mm ue u wouiu nave ueen un
necessary for me to bring the action which
i nuvo brought, ror he would have pro
hibited the Htorch trust from dolnir liusl-
ncsH anywhere In tho country. Hut he has
not done his duty. Do you wont the at
torney general of Nebraska to do likewise?
I hnve seen It stated that Mr. Morton has
declnred that he will move the works to
Kansas Lily If he is not nermltted to oner-
nte a trust In this state. Let him not for
get that Kansas City Is In a democratic
state, that Missouri li3 an nntl-trust lnw
and n democratic attorney general willing
in emorco u.
Hesldes that It would not bo well to mnlc
the removal until after the 1th of March
next. For unless I miss my guess we wil'
then have an ndmlnlntrH'lmi it t Washington
which will make It Impossible for the starch
trust or any otner trust to do business any
where within the contlncs of our nntlon.
Mntler of Principle.
How one who condemns a nroteetlve
tariff can uphold n trust surpasses com
prehension. A nrotectlvo tariff enables Its
beneficiary to charge the consumer a higher
price inr nis wares ny preventing the com
petition or forelgnern. A trust enables Its
beneficiaries to charge the consumer a
hlghor price for their warew bv defeating
home competition. The only difference be
tween them Is that the ono levies lt tribute
under the form of law. while Ihe other ,lne
sn Irfdetlnnco o' law th tnr.ff Is a creature
of lnw; tho trust Is nn outlaw.
Ko, my friends, ir the principle which
underlies trusts Is wrong It Ih ns wrong In
Nebraska ns It Is in New Jersey. You can
not condemn It in New Jersey and iinhnld
it In Nebrnska. This Is n campaign of prin
ciple, uur leaner huh Known ns n spieildlil
loyalty to principle. Let us emulate his
example In that respect and we will be bet
ter democrats and better citizens.
I.ewl mid llrynn,
At the conclusion of Mr. Smyth's nddross
thero were calls for J. Ham Lowls, who
responded briefly nnd wns followed by
Mr. Bryan, who spoke along much the samo
lines as did Mr. Smyth, quoting editorials
from tho Conservative and tolling tho his
tory of tho stnrch company. Commenting
in a general way Mr. Bryan sold:
if tho people of Nebraska City defend the
stnrch trust they must bo prepared to de
fend nil the other trusts, for It Is Impos
sible for them to destroy trusts located
elsowhero and defend n trust located in
their own city. Aro the people of Nebraska

their countrymen to the nxtnrtlnn irnniir.ei

NEBRASKA ClTYTsTpt. 26. (Special.)
Tho following resolutions were adopted
unanimously bythe citizens' mass meeting
held here Saturday evening to discuss the
action of Attorney General Smyth In com
mencing proceedings to close the stnrch
factory;
Whereas. The nttorney general of the
stnto of Nebraska, If telegraphic reports
are true, has begun an nctlon In the su
preme court of the state to destroy one of
ojr main Industries, the starch works,
under tho guise and pretense cf attacking n
trust, and Is threatening to drive from
business the enterprise, of all others In our
city, which has conduced most to our ma
tcrlnl prosperity; and
Whereas, The starch works of Nebraska
City has upon Its payroll upward of 2oo of
our citizens, men, women nnd children, and
disburses thousands of dollars each month
In wages honestly earned; It has furnished
a market for hundreds of thousands of
bushels of corn each year, thereby bringing
Into ojr county und city u large amount of
money; nnd
Whereas, During the years the starch
works has been here there has been no
word of complaint either from Mb employes
or Its patrons, und there has been nnd Is no
demand by any class of our citizens for tho
suppression of this Industry, which since
Its establishment has been n source of un
mixed good to our community, and there Is
no class nmong our citizens who would be
benefited by the extinction and destruction
of this large manufactory; und
Whereas, "The consent of tho governed"
Is a cardinal tenet of the nttorney general
of Nebraska, nnd tho consent of tne people
of Nebraska City has not been usked In the
mntter so vitally affecting our Interests and
our prosperity ns a city, therefore bo It
Resolved, lly tho citizens of Nebraska
CHy In mass meetlmc assembled, without
regard to party affiliations or political
prejudices, That we unn,ua!ltleilly condemn
tho present attempt of the nttorney gen
eral of Nebraska to drive the starch com
pany of this city out of business, or to
wreck Its operations nnd close down Its
works; that we view such an attempt ns
one born of u spirit of rovenge und nn at
tempt on the port of the attorney general
to use an official position to gratify a per
sonal dislike to some of Its officers or stock
holders, nnd for the purpose of punishing
men in our midst who have dared to openly
express their honest convictions, nnd not
In any senso In the Interest of public
morals, commercial enterprise, free coin
petition In trade or the good of this com
munity. Itesolved, That we will consider tho clos
ing of the starch works, for any reasons al
leged by the nttorney general, ns ti public
ca'nmlty for Nebraska city and Otoo
county, resulting lu the throwing out of
employment of hundreds of worklngmen
and bringing distress to their families; of
destroying u good home market for our
main staple and as removing from oir
midxt thi' chief wealth-producer In the
county, without any corresponding benefit
wimtuver, either moral, social, Industrial or
otherwise.
Resolved. That we demand that the nt
torney general shall at once discontinue his
crusade nnd remove his pnralyzlng hand
from the Industries of Nebraska City to the
end that we may continue to enjoy tho
benefits we derive therefrom.
Resolved, That, In our opinion, the suc
cess of the undertaking now on foot to sup
press thfl otarch Industry In our mlrNt
would bring stagnation In business, paraly
sis In trade, the destruction of our market",
distress nnd want to hundreds of our work
ing men nnd their families and compel
many of our people to remove from the
cltv: that. In our onlnlon. It wl'l be the
height of wicked folly to destroy one of
our greatest enterprises, without the slight
est benefit to tins community or to any
other portion of the state.
Resolved. That, In our opinion, to drlvo
out tho large capital Invented in these
works nnd to destroy the same by nlleglng
It a trust, without corresponding benent to
nnv one. Is perverse wickedness, without
parallel In the history of the stnte. and
thorefore we protest against the proceed
Incs as unnecessary. Impolitic and In
jurious, nnd aH calculated to Injure this
community in tno nignest degree, nnn
solemnly nver from the best of our knowl

General Howard spoke for moro than one

SYRACUSE, Neb., Sept. 26. (Special.)
n spite of storm and rain Congressman
Burkctt was greeted with a crowded house
last night. Tho hall was beautifully draped
and on the rear of the rostrum was a cam
paign banner of McKlnley And Roosevelt
that was beautiful. President Walt opened
the meeting with a talk Introducing the
congressman, eulogized the county tlckot
nd urged upon his hearers the great im
portance of electing our entire legislative
Icket. Tho speaker next dwelt upon the
grandeur of this country nnd what it meant
o be a citizen ot this republic, the great
est In all the records of the world. That
today It was "the biggest America, the
best America" It had ccr been. Its flnnii-
lal soundness and Integrity were told of
nd when he said that business In 1S96
was "down In tho cellar of trade, playing
penny-anto with Its wife's money" vjt
brought the houso down with lnughter.
Ills contrasts of conditions then nnd as
they now exist were very striking. He
yoked tho World-Hcrnld nnd Des Moines
Globe together and they mado a team of
Ill-omen not often seen. He quoted from
Bryan's first front door speech and the
outrageotiB demagogy ot the whole thing
was laid bare.
Tho chost of the awful McClcary bill, the
pcakcr said, would soon lie accompanied
by tho other spooks, Imperialism, mili
tarism, etc. The speaker rend Bryan's
prophecleB from "The First Battle" and
bowed how nil had failed. He advanced
trong arguments tor the republican plan
n tho Philippines, as against nil others,
nnd exposed In a striking manner tho titter
absurdity and inconsistency of tho demo-
ratlc Idea. His tribute to the worth, tho
unswerving patriotism of William Mc
Klnley under tho most trying clrcum-
tnnccs mado the ghost of imperialism
ook more ghoulish than over. Tho speaker
closed his speech with a most comprehen-
lve and Instructive expose of tho Porto
Rico tariff bill, so-called, nnd It was highly
appreciated and removed every lingering
doubt as to tho Justice of tho act and
howed beyond a doubt that to hnve re
frained from passing such an act would
have been playing into tho hands of the
sugar and tobacco trusts. Mr. Burkett
showed how tho constitution hnd never fol-
owed tho flag Into any new country ac
quired by us nnd did not enter until placed
thero by a positive act of congress. Taken
altogthor under tho unfavorable condi
tions existing at the tlmo the meeting was
a grand success. It showed that wind and
thunder and lightning could not keep the
faithful republican men nnd women at
home when Elmer J. Hurkett speaks nnd
he will get a rousing majority In Syracuse
and bo triumphantly electe'd In tho First
district November 6, 1900.

utmost and she held the audience over two
hours, expounding good republican doctrine
and explaining why she was advising evary
honest, loyal American citizen to vote tho
republican ticket this year In plain,
straightforward innguago backed by the
proof. Sho exposed the unholy alliance
and conspiracy between tho corrupt popu
list leaders and bourbon democrats of the
south and Tammany hall of New York.
Tho populist leaders and Bryan had left
her whllo sho stood on the samo old platr
form advocating the same principles, as
sho so faithfully had dono for tho last
eight years. Sho showed tho fallacy of
Bryanlsra nnd unprincipled democracy In
Its truo light nnd why no honest populist
or truo American citizen could voto tho
democratic ticket this year. The house
rung with thunderous applause. Sho
called for her democrat and Bryan friends
to como forward and nsk questions and
waited on tho Btago for them to do so,
but not a single ono responded.
