tmMtLMINGTON MESSENGER WfibNESDAY, APRIL 7, i97. t . r Are You Weary? Not one person in a dozen can withstand the S p r i n g season "without having the system pervaded by an unmis takable feeling of lassitude. The accumulated impurities of a year combat nature's ef fort to throw them off. result ing in a depressed, worn-out, I gooa -.tor -nothing condition which takes possession, of the system. It is now that a few bottles of S..S.S. Swift's ' are needed to thoroughly - cleanse the blood and build up the system. It removes all impurities, tones the stom ach, and renews, the appetite, . imparting new life and vigor to the "entire body, so that the trying period , of Spring is 'passed without any unpleas ant effects. S. S. S. is far ahead of other blood reme dies because it is purely vege table, containing no arsenic, potash or mercury, which are so injurious to the digestive organs. Insist on S. S. S.

The Republicans to Withdraw Dr. Hunter After Thursday Mnch Interest In the ; Election for a Vacancy In tne Senate An Exciting Ballot. Louisville, April 6.-A special to The Evening Post from Frankfort says: Dr. W. G. Hunter, twice the republican nominee for the United States senate and Unable to win on either occasion, has been called upon to. surrender his leadership to' some man who can lead a united party to victory. Unwilling to obey the demands of his party In this matter until absolutely forced to retire. Dr. Hunter has pleaded for and obtained a few days respite, but if by Thursday . night he has not won arid cannot put his fingers on enough votes to elect him the next day, the leaders of the republican party will hold a cau cus and select another nominee.' This decision has been reached after much deliberation on the part of the repub lican leaders. They did not want to hurry- Dr. Hunter, still they did not' feel that he had any chance, especially in view of the new antagonisms that he awakeried with each day. " The new. nominee Will be either Colonel John Boyle, who is claimed bv the bolting republicans to be the legal nominee; Judge W, H. Holt, or Governor W. O. Bradley. ' The silver democrats are anxious to have the extra session -adjourn sine die, thus preventing an election and to this end an adjourning resolution has been prepared and will be present ed in the senate. It is thought that it will , prevail In that body, but will be defeated in the house, In the event that the two houses are unable to i -agree, it is the governor's duty to dis solve the general assembly,, but not. for a greater length of time than four months. ' As Governor Bradley is an xious to have a republican elected, anyone other than Hunter, it is not likely that he would dissolve the ses sion unless it looked to be a sure thing Hunter would win. , . i Frankfort, Ky., April 6. Tension was a bit higher today 6n account of the fact that nothing definite couid be ! heard from the counties of Morgan, Breat, Hitt, Owsley and Wolfe, where ! an election Was held yesterday to fill the vacancy1 paused bv the death of Senator Salyer, gold democrat. The republican claim that Atkinson has won, thus giving them seventy-one votes, all told, on joint ballot; but the democrats are very hopeful of Hager. There was some excitement before the twnty-fifth ballot was; taken and many thought that an election was at hand. Senator Ellison, gold democrat, started the ball rolling for State Sena tor Henry L. Martin, who 'has all along been looked on as the only avail able candidate for the democrats. The Blackburn democrats declined to vote, hoping to break a - quorum, but the gold democrats voted selidly for Mar tin, while the republicans voted for Hunter,- thus insuring a quorum.

Cotton Fntnres. (Special to The Messenger.) New York, April 6. The trading was of the most interesting character and resulted in alsmail decline in prices on the cotton jexchafige today. Liver pool" this morning responded to our weakness of yesterday by cabling a de cline of l-64d in that market. The opening here was 3 points lower than the close of yesterday. All interest in the market seemed to have disappeared and prices fluctuated within narrow limits during the whole session. May opened at 7.03, declined to 7.01, advanc- ed to 7.06 and closed 7-05 to 7.06, with the tone of the market steady. Oper ators appear to be convinced that the water will recede from the overflowed districts in the Mississippi valley in plenty of time to allow the planting of that fertile section, and this conviction has robbed the flood news of much of its legitimate effect on prices. I RIORDAN & CO., (By Associated Press.) . New York, April 6. Today's cotton market was small and narrow, the en. ; tire dealings being within a range of 1 to 5 points. Trading was spasmodic ; with room operators chiefly in evi dence. Liverpool bought in a small j way during the first fifteen minutes and again 3ust before the close. On the : call the market was steady at 1 to 3 ;. points lower; under disappointing Liv i erpool cables advanced to last night's prices on short covering, eased off j again under estimates of a free port ; movement and rallied just before the I close on active buying by the bull con tingent. The market closed steady with prices 1 poinf higher to 1 point lower. New Tork Stock Market. New Tork, April 6.

Chicago was taken up with her municipal election and Boston and Philadelphia were very quiet. Such dealings as occurred were subject to entirely fictitious influences 'and were concentrated in a few stocks. The absence of the heavy liquidation that has characterized some recent markts was, however, marked and the railway list held remarkably firm. Rail way and miscellaneous mortgages held firm on moderate dealings. The high grade liens figured prominently in the operations, but the variations were not Important. The general undertone was firm, but some few noteworthy . de clines were registered in the active is sues.

Adevertiser, Crop Condition! of tne Country Washington, April 6. The weather bureau in its-weekly, review-of, the crop condition says: . : - Over the greater part of the country the week ending April 5th was not fa vorable for farming' operations, being too wet over the states of the central valleys from the Ohio river southward to the gulf coast. In portions of Louis iana, ' Mississippi, : Kansas, Wisconsin and Michigan the conditions were more favorable, while In-New England the ;northern portion of the middle - Atlantic states, Ohio and Texas the week was, upon the whole, favorable. In the low lands, adjacent to the Mississippi river, southward of its confluence with the Ohio, flood conditions have prevented farm work to a great extent. Corn planting continues in the south ern states and over the more southerly portions the early planted is being cul tivated. Preparations for planting are in progress as far north as Ohio. Win ter wheat has been killed to' a greater or less extent over a considerable por tion of the principal winter wheat states. Some improvement, however, has been noted In Indiana,- Michigan and Missouri. In the last named state much has been killed and will be plow ed for other crops. In Kansas the crop is making rapid growth, and In Okla homa it is reported as in fine condition, while very favorable reports are re ceived from Kentucky and Tennessee. . Practically no spring wheat has yet been sown. North Dakota is covered with snow, and cold, wet weather else where over the spring wheat region has prevented seeding, which will begin in South Dakota this week. Oats seeding is general In the middle Atlantic and east galf Btates, and prep arations for seeding are in progress in Ohio, Missouri and Michigan, - some seeding having been done In the last named state. '!,;.. Cotton planting is in progress over the southern portion of the cotton belt, In Texas the greater part of the crop has been planted, and whee not dam aged by heavy rains is. coming up nicely. Some replanting in Texas has been necessary, owing to the excessive rains in March. In Alabama the early planted cotton is coming up to good stands. Tobacco -plants promise to be plen tiful in Virginia and North Carolina, and in Kentucky the season for mak ing tobacco beds has been very favora ble. In Florida tobacco is looking very well. - I The outlook for fruit is reported as fair in Illinois, good In Maryland,! Penn sylvania, New Jersey, i Arkansas- and Alabama, and excellent in Missouri. Peaches have been badly Injured in' northern Georgia and Alabama,' and frosts have caused injury to fruit in North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, New Mexico and Arizona. Old People.

New Care for Rheumatism. Dr. Auguste Alexandre, a chemist of Paris, representing Dr. Jules E. Malide, the celebrated French, chemist, will be in this city for three days, and treat all eases of rheumtaism, neuralgia, dys pepsia, and lumbago free, at 1716 F street northwest, with the oil- Peloynice discovered by Dr. Malide. Dr. Alex andre has been in this country since August, and has introduced his treat ment at many hospitals in the prom inent cities, "including Bellevue, In New York, and the; Maryland and Johns .Hopkins, in Baltimore. He has . been very successful, and has accomplished as much good in this country since 1896, when the remedy was discovered, as Dr. Malide lias in France. The' remedy is claimed to be a simple combination' ,of drugs well-known to all chemists, and is "admitted by inoculation. . Many pbstinate cases yield to one treatment, and three or four are always consid ered sufficient in any case. .The skin oVer the affected part is scarified by needle points, which pierce quickly through the cuticle, and then the sur face of the skin receives an- application of the remedy, which is rapidly ab sorbed. ''The effect of this," said Dr. Alex andre, "is to form small pustules that draw and discharge the morbific mat ter, thus removing the cause ol the dis order," !- When Dr. Alexandre finishes his treatment of patients here he will pre sent a supply of the remedy to the faculties .of the local hospitals for use and experiment. He only remains in this city for three days, and will then go to Chicago for ten or twelve days, and from thence return to TParis. He has letters from many of the physicians in the hospitals where ' he has treated patients while in this country, and they highly recommend the remedy as a cure for rheumatism. Washington Post.

The mayoralty election today resulted In a decisive victory for the democratic party, its candidate, Carter Harrison, having more votes than all the other can didates combned. The feature of the election was ' the strength shown by Harlan. He ran second to Harrison and although an Independent with no organization : be hind him, he secured more votes than the regular republican candidate. Judge Nathaniel Sears. ;One thing that helped Harlan greatly was that Sears was looked upon as being the nominee of the republicn machine, which has grown unpopul'ar in the ranks of the local republican party. Harlan . se cured a heavy vote from men who would have voted for the regular- re publican nominee had it not been that they wished to express their opinion of the machine. The "vote of. Hesing 'was -largely from the Germans and eame from both parties. He was the nominee of the gold democrats, al though he went before the people on a business men's platform. The democrats had an excellent or ganization, their campaign was hand led well and as the republican ranks were hopelessly split, ; the result was never in much doubt, although Harlan, Sears and Hesing all - claimed that they could 1 not be beaten. The lead ers of the republican machine were not quite as hopeful as they claimed to be and it is said on excellent author ity that Sears was quietly traded for Roy O. West, the republican candidate for city attorney; The! campaign was fought for the most part on strictly local issues, although ithe democrats had a silver plank in their platform. A Protest Against the Dlngley Bill. ... Indianapolis, April . The Cigar Manufacturers Association of Indiana, representing a membership of 700 man ufacturers, met in this city today and formulated a protest against that part of the Dlngley tariff bill which in creases the rate on leaf tobacco. The protest states that the rates under the present law are so excessive and bur densome that it is not possible to live under them. It also denies that the proposed rate will afford any protec tion to the growers of leaf tobacco. The petition is long and will be forwarded to Senator Morrill, chaiirman of the senate finance committee, Bucklen's Arnica Salve The Best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Erup tions, and positively cureg-PUea, or no pay required.

PUBLIC OPINION, ea The contention of Congressman Mc Laurin, of South Carolina, that if pro tection is going around, the south should be protected as welP-as Newr England is incontestably sound, but when" he undertakes to justify a' duty on cotton by the. utterances of Thomas Jefferson he does not make so good a case. There is nothing in what he quotes, from Mr. Jefferson denouncing and "governimental partnership with favored classes" which justifies the imposition of a duty either on cotton or. on the shirt which is made from it. Detroit Free Press. Chairman Dlngley is kept busily, em ployed in explaining away the charge that the average of duties is higher in his tariff bill than It was in the rMc Kinley act. While admitting the fact that the average rate upon dutiable im ports is 57 percent, in the oendinsr Pbill compared tvith 49 per cent, in the k&H Kinley tariff and 37 per cent, in the present law, he explains that the cause of is It in the increased duties on su gar, tobacco and other "luxuries." The truth, nevertheless, remains uncontro yerted that the average 'burden of the Dingley bill would be greater than in any tariff heretofore imposed upon American consumers. Philadelphia Record. - "Why," asks a correspondent, "are you seeking to Interfere with Professor Wilson's business? As he is receiving only 45,000 a year as president of Wash ington and Lee university, he must eke out that inadequate and-parsimonious allowance by outside jobs; and you may ibe sure that the New - Tork Herald pays him big money." As a member of congress, formerly, he re ceived but $5,000 . a year, and, when he lost that Job, Mr. Cleveland made him postmaster general at $8,000 a year; but he . was out of -a job again when the trustees of Washington and Lee university took him up, and ai lowed his $5,000 his friends, under taking emphatically that when he be came president of that Institution he would "sink" his partizanry and pol itics.

Norfolk Pilot. 7 The enterprise with which three or four English magazines are pushing their business in this country and the large circulations which they have al ready built up here indicate .that our magazine publishers are faced with a competition which may prove serious. During ;the past three or four years there has been -a wonderful improve ment in the English magazines and il lustrated weeklies. They have also im proved very greatly the attractiveness of their contents. While this progress has been going on in England 'it seems to us that our leading magazines have lost rather than gained in quality. Ws do not think that they are now as In teresting as they were five or six years &go. The quality of their stories seems to have fallen off and they havefallen into the habit of giving too much space and too. long a run to special features. They are rather heavy, lacking in the sprightliness and sparkle which are demanded in a popular magazine.
