TH -V Zi? i The crucial eooch
of a woman's life
is the change from
maidenhood to
womanhood. It
involves the whole
body and manifests
itself in the nerv
ous disposition at this time.
Nervous or sick women are afforded the
opportunity of a lifetime, for the makers
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now
offer $500 reward for women who cannot
De cured. nacKea up Dy over a tmrd of a
century of remarkable and uniform cures,
a record such as no other remedy for the
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women
ever attained, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription now feel fully war
ranted in offering to par $500 in legal money
of the United States for any case of Ieu
1 corrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or
railing 01 me womo, wmcn tney cannot

trial of their means of cure.
"I cannot praise your medicine highly
enough," writes Mrs. Jennie Hippenhamer, of
Huntertown, Indiana. "I begun taking Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription and took it stead
ily for i months. I was not once sick at stom
ach, never vomited once. Took the ' Favorite
Prescription ' three times a day and when in
severe pain took sn extra teasnoonfiil of medi
cine which checked the pain. I felt pleasant all
the time and did not get nervous as I used to.
When my baby girl came last August she was
healthy. She is now eleven months old. Am
thirty-eight years old and never got through so
easily in all my life. Why should women suffer
when they csn get through so easily? I am

Charlotte Chronicle: Senti
ment among the North Carolina del

"strongly in favor of a 'compro

on which all Democrats can stand."
If any State ought to have (rood and
ufhclent reasons for being tired of 1
compromises, it is worth Carolina.
The compromise act, or the truck
ling for votes, the bartering of trin
clples for the hope of gain, never
did and never will pay. We hope
the North Carolina delegation has
been misrepresented, but we fear it
has not.

St. Louis, July 9. Chairman Clark
resumed the gavel to-dav and at 2:60
o'clock P. M. began his effort to call
the convention to order.
The rumor of a recess had spread.
and every one was anxious to know
the procedure. The delay continued,
however, waiting for word from the
ice presidential conference at the
Southern Hotel. The band was util
ized for entertainment, and gotrous
lng cheer as It struck up "Dixie."
Bev. John T, Johnston, pastor of
the Delmar Avenue Baptist church,
was introduced to pronounce the invo
cation. .
Governor Dockery was recognized
at the conclusion of the prayer and
read a telegram from Benator Oockrell
as follows:
'I am sincerely grateful to the De
mocracy of Missouri for their unso
licited endorsement of me to the nomi
nation to the highest office in the gift
of American people and to the dele
gates appointed by the Joplln conven
tion to present my name to the Na
tional Democratic Convention. They
have done their whole duty faithfully
and sincerely; have discharged every
trust imposed by the Joplln conven
tion and have done all possible to be
done. I heartily approve their action.
The convention has acted wisely In
nominating Judge Parker (cheers) a
loyal Democrat who voted for Colonel
Bryan (cheers) In 1896 and 1900 and
Is an able jurist and a clean man In all
relations of life. F. M. Coozbxll."
Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, secured
recognition for A. M. Lawrence of
that state to read a telegram from the
platform. The telegram waa from
William B. Hearst The reading was
warmly applauded. Mr. Hearst's tele
gram was as follows:
"A AL Lawrence, BL Louis:
"I wish to thank my friends for
their unfaltering support. I think I
can best express my appreciation of
their loyalty by continued devotion
to the principles of true Democracy,
for which we have fought, and by the
loyal support of the man chosen by
the convention to lead the Democratic
party.
"William Randolph Hearst."
Mr. Russell, of Alabama moved
that a recess be taken until 6:20
o'clock. Criea of "no, no," were
beard from all tides, but Chairman
Clark put the motion, when protest
waa made that there had been no
second.
"Is the motion seconded!" asked
Mr. Clark, and amid another general
cry of "no, no." and a vigorous pro
test from over the hall he put the
question. The vote was overwhelm
ingly against the recess, but Mr.
Olark declared with a snap and a
thump of bis gavel that it was carried

It wae ten minutes after -midnight
when Mr. Bryan concluded and Rep
resentative John Sharp wtmami roe.
He plunged without preface Into a
scathing arraignment of Mr. Bryan.
Turning from time to time he faced
Ur. Bryan, wno sat witn immoDiie
countenance and fanned himself. His
voice trembling, Mr. Williams de
clared that Mr. Bryan had pre
sented the spectacle 01 a man
pleading for harmony when in all this
great convention nis naa oeen tne
only voice of discord. The amend
ment to the Parker telegram he
characterized as "a lot of foolish ques
tions." He spoke sarcastically, with
bltins- humor and arreat earaNtneea.
In explaining that the telegram from
Judge Parker was simply an expres
sion of the judge's own Individual
ODlnlon. Mr. Williams suddenly
wheeled and faced those on the plat
form and asked: "Snppote we bad
nominated Bryan on that platform."
"God forbid," ejaculated Richmond
P. Hobson, In a loud voice from jast
behind the speaker.
In explaining his attitude on the
absence of a financial plank In the
platform, he remarked of the money
question: "If It is a trance, It will
awake; but If it la dead, I don't want
the corpse in my parlor."
Taking up the reply of the conven
tion to Judge Parker's telegram. Mr.
Williams read the first sentence the
platform adopted by this convention la

standard. Does any one deny that-

"Take the next sentence." he con tin
ued, "because it Is not regarded by us
as a political issue."
"Does any one in this hall deny
that I If there Is any one on the floor
of this convention who believes the
money question Is an Issue In this
campaign let him arise in his place."
not a delegate arose.
"Now let any one on the platform
who believes the money Question an

came so fast that confusion reigned
ror some minutes. In- the eonf nslon
an effort was made to make an ad

out of order.
Mr. Bryan snrane to his feet and de
clared that his delegation wu going to
support tho candidate that New York
wanted for vice president and If It
would conduce to harmony be would
withdraw his amendment to the reply.
a. roar or applause ronowed the an

call was ordered on the question of the
adoption of the Williams reply to
Judge Parker's message to Mr. 8hee-

As the roll call proceeded It was evi

sums make up over 913,000, which

the narrator of one of Sir John Haw-

but be writes: "His nature Is ever,
when he would have hia prey, to cry

the crocodile when be crieth goeth
them about most to deceive, so doth a

added information that "the crocodile's
