Kluger, the jeweler, 1060 Virginia avenue, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "I was so weak from kidney trouble that I could hardly walk a iundred feet.

F. Laurin, Owl Drug Store. ,., , IT'S A GOOD THING TO REFER to the reputation of a store before making any important purchases therein. Before you buy is the time to look up the matter. Ask questions. -Find out if the store you intend pa tronizing keeps its pledges. Be sure that you learn if it sells the qualities it claims; if it treats ts customers honestly and fairly, then, if satisfied, buy there. Do all the asking you wish about us among your friends, and that you will result in your com ing here regularly. Come in and see our $125 Kitchen Range. , "THE BIG STORE." , Pursuant to the published call of its Democratic sponsors, the meet ing of the CitUens' party last night was wetl attended, and for the first hour of its duration, was quite rep resentative, but this was steadily re duced as the convention proceeded and by the time thc-crux was reach ed, the nominations for the mayor alty, it had shrunk to its normal and primal elements, that of a purely Democratic assemblage; and this with evervthine the real leader, of the local Democracy wanted, sealed, and all but delivered. With a complete and forecasted staff of officers, headed by Dr. Al fred Kinney, Democrat; with Aubrey D. Garner, Democrat, for secretary; with a Democratic committee on rules, consisting of Messrs. Lebeck, Gaston (Republican), and Young, and a Democratic commute of plat form in the persons of Messrs. Ev ans, Smith and Knobloch (the lat ter one of the only two concessions to the Republican interests present), the trend of the business was early and clearly "divined, and the divina tion' lost nothing by way of proof in every detail that followed. The two main committees were sent out to formulate their reports and when these arrived they but confirmed the actual status of the convention. This with A. M. Smith, master of cere monies, fixed the range and angle of procedure beyond all fear of failure. Ward committees, consisting of those present from each of the four wards, were called upon to retire and make their several nominations for the long and short terms for the water 'commission and the common council" and ;.ihiti '.'reporting, showed the following resultst First WardWater Commission, 8 year term, Asmus 'Brix'; 4 year term, Franz Kankkonen. Council 4 year term, Charles Wilson; 2 year term, F. J. Cirnty. ; '.' " ,' .. Second Ward Water Commis-j sion,'8 yea'rsi F." A. Fisher; 4 years, H. G. Van Dusen.

Stang land.5 ; .: : These were all promptly ratified by the convention as a whole; and in this behalf, and beyond the touch and influence of the urbane master of the hour, there was some freedom of expression and action that stood for the Republican desires of those present. Andrew Young was then nominat ed for Water Commissioner at large, and this was fully ratified, as was the nomination of Jens Hanson, for the office of councilman at large, im mediately following. And Charles H. Abercrombie was given the undis puted nomination for the city attor neyship, "is the next office in se quence for consideration. 'The office of Auditor and Police iidge went to bluf Anderson with a unanimous bang of good will from the whole house, and was happily received by the nominee who made a clever talk in response to the honor conferred. This process was dupli cated oh the, instant in the case of Thomas Dealeys nomination for con tinuance in the city treasuryship, .he, too, responded feelingly when called upon. And the nomination to the city surveyorship went to Alfred S. Tee on equally free and friendly convention the mayoralty contest There were three nominees, ' to-wit Samuel Elmore, Isaac Bergman, and A. M. Smith; and in this particular a clever little ruse was employed that was not thought of in the case of the four aspirants for the street superintendency. The genial boss of the situation moved that when th triangular vote was cast and count ed, that the lowest man be eliminat ed, and a new vote be taken as be tween the remaining candidates, and this prevailed, of course; so that when the totals were announced glv ing Mr. Elmore 80 votes, Mr. Berg man 89, and Mr. Smith 131, the Re publican nominee was dropped, and the vote of the house recast, result ing in favor of A. M. Smith at the ratio of 148 to 111 for Mr. Bergman, and Mr. Smith was declared, tinani mously, the nominee of the conven tion, which was pretty good work for the man who 24 hours earlier sought nothing at the hands of the people save the modest nomination and gift of an election to the police commissionership. Mr. Smith, with the modesty that makes him just what he is, the "bos of the city," returned his sur prised thanks for the unexpected honor, in a neat little speech, with which the convention he had domi nated from beginning to end, closed within the half hour of midnight It was simply a re-hash of the same old inimitable story that has been told in this city so many times, and for which Republican lethargy and stupidity are (directly rcsponsi ble. In the course of conversation with Mr. Smith after the meeting was over that gentleman made the dec laration that under no circumstances, in the event of his election to the mayoralty this year, would he be candidate for re election to that of fice. And he meant it HERE AT HOME. terms. ; :,: VPVllJ In the; matter, of the Street Super intendence,, there were four nomi nees, who received, .in all 321 votes from the house,'" divided as follows among the aspirants, towit: Siegfred Wentjar, 65; H. E. Steffens, ,39; J. F, Kearney, 149; and T. B. Lough- ery, OS. Mr. Kearney s .... nomination was made unanimous, and he -thanked (the house cordially for the sup port given, him in the premise. Dr. Charles W. Barr received the unanimous vote of the house for the nomination to the Police Commis sionership in succession of Judge Chas. H.

THli WOOLEN MILL STORE FROM LOCAL RAINS. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Un- derground streams in Southern Cal ifornia, depend upon rainfall within their territory and do not come frpm listant sources, according to geo logical survey reports. The reports say that the important subterannean basins in Southern California are supplied with water which falls upon the immediate surface or flows through the ground from tributary streams. There have been theories that waters from the distant Sierras, or the Colorado river, or the Pacific Ocean may, by underground chan nels or by seepage, reach the San Gabriel valley of the Pomona neigh Many of the largest water systems are dependent upon the subsidiary plants to keep up their supplies, during the summer and fall and in a number of places pumped or artesian waters are the sole dependence of thriving communities. A conserva tive estimate of the proportion f underground water now used during the late summer periods after dry winters, when the surface supply is ' lowest and the pumps are busiest, is as three or four to one.

NEW YORK, Oct 26.-Although he has been dead for several months, the voice of Ira D. Sankey, the noted evangelist, was again heard last night in the Simpson Methodist Church in Brooklyn.

The hymns reproduced were "The Ninety and Nine," 'Hid ing In Thee," "There Is No Dark Valley," and "Jesus of Nazareth Is Passing By." BOY SHOT IN BACK. FRESNO, Cal. Oct. 26.
