Asked if he had anything to tell pre
paratory to his departure. Mr. Mur
phy said: "I will say that we will
not regard anyone as nominated by
the democratic national convention
until the vote has been taken and the
ballots counted. As far as the New
York delegation is concerned, we are
going to Denver to deliberate."
Mr, Murphy will, it is said, direct
his efforts at Denver toward securing
the second place on the ticket for
Martin W. Littleton, former Borough

Broklyn delegation in the state con

vention is traveling on the same train
with Mr. Murphy at least as far as
Chicago. With the Murphy conting
ent will go Alton B. Parker and most
of the prominent politicians in Tam
mny Hall. Mr. Parker is to be the
representative of the state on the
committee on resolutions, according
to the present program, and Martin

Mud Every Day Say City Chemist.

Omaha people have been drinking

different settlings are contained in
the battery reservoires, yet the water
as it comes from the mains is mudy.
Trouble is Admittedly Due in Large
Part to Japanese War, But Govern
ment Wont Adopt "Martial Law
and Damned Nonsense."
G. B. Burhans Testifies After 4 Years
O. B. Burhan9, of Carlisle Center,
N. Y writes: "About four years
ago I wrote you stating that I had
been entirely cured of a severe kidney
trouble by taking less than two bot
tles of Foley's Kidney Cure. It en
tirely stopped the brick 'dust sedi
ment, and , pain and symptoms of
kidney disease disappeared. I am
glad to say that I have never had a
return of any of those symptoms
during the four years that have elaps
ed and I am evidently cured to stay
cured, and heartily recommend
Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suf
fering from kidney or bladder
trouble"
LONDON'. Julyl. There was an
oratorial duel between Lord Curzon ,
ond Viscount Morley of Blackburn, I
secretary of state to India, in the '
House of Lords last night on the
subject of the late unrest in India,
this being Viscount Morley's maiden
speech in that house. Lord Curzon
regarded the unrest as a chronic
symptom of the condition of Asia as !
a whole which has been fomented by i
Japanese vistory of Russia. j
"That was the triumph of Asia over
Europe" he said, "and the revelations
of that conflict have spread like a
thunder clap through the whispering
galleries of the East .
Viscount Morley in defending the
governments policy agreed with I
Lord Curzon that the trouble was!
largely due to Japan's victory. The
government had no reason, he con- j
United, to doubt the Ameer's loyalty
and friendship and regarding the)
Indian agitation it did not intend to
adopt the remedy of "martial law and '
damned nonsense" but while the en- j
forcing of law and preserving order
would not be determined by bombs
and outrages it would persevere in
the policy of reform in the direction
of giving to all grades of Indians
"some handling of their own affairs".

Was in Poor Health For Years
Ira W. Kellcy, of Mansfield, Pa.,
writes: "I was in poor health for two
years, suffering from kidney and blad
der trouble, and spent considerable
money consulting physicians without
obtaining any marked benefit, but was
cured by Foley's Kidney Cure, and I
desire to add my testimony that it may
be the cause of restoring the health
of others." Refuse substitutes. T. F.

War Against Consumption
All nations are endeavoring to
check the ravages of consumption,
the "white plague" that claims so
man victims each year. Foley's
Honey and Tar cures coughs and
colds perfectly and you are in no
danger of consumption. Do not risk
your health by taking some unknown
preparation when Foley's Honey and
Tar is safe and certain in results. The
genuine is in a yellow package .
