THE DAY AT ST. LOUIS
Meeting of the National Re
publican Committee.
TO CONSIDER THE SEAT CONTESTS
Its Decision Will Seat Contesting; Dele
ffatrs Only Temporarily Prob
able financial Flank.
St. Louis, June 10. The National Re
publican Committee met" at 12 o'clock,
with Chairman Carter, of Montana, in
the chair. There were very few absent
ees. The business before the committee,
the consideration of 168 contests, was
promptly taken up. The Initia1 meeting
was of executive character, the press
nd public being excluded. The execu
tive committee of the national commit
tee held a meeting today to hear the re
port of the sub-committee, which made
the arrangements for the convention.
The committee 'had been in session
only a few minutes when Richard Ker
ens offered a motion to admit the press,
which was adopted.
It was discovered as soon as the com
mittee announced its readiness to take
up the Alabama contests that the par
ties were not prepared to proceed imme
diately. A recees was therefore taken
until 2 o'clock, when it was announced
that the states would be taken up in al
phabetical order to hear the contests.
The national committee expects to go
thoroughly into the merits of all the
cases presented.
The members are of the opinion that
the interests of the party will be pro
moted by a careful analysis of the testi
mony and a decision in all cases upon its
merits regardless of personal presiden-,
tial candidates' preference, or the pre
judices of the contestants upon the finan
cial question. Their decision in favor of
any delegation will have only the effect
of seating its members for the temporary
organization and their work . will neces
sarily be superseded Iby. the committee
on credentials, but they hope to perform
the task so thoroughly as to leave com
paratively little for that committee to
do.
The national committee will probably
be engaged upon the contests the great
er part of the week.
The McKinley men have decided up
on C. W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, for tem
porary chairman, but many members
are urging Samuel Fessenden, of Con
necticut. Feasenden will not be satis
factory to the McKinley leaders, and if
the national committee should name
him it might precipitate a contest in the
convention. It is possible, however,
that everything will be adjusted in the
committee.
The trouble about the colored dele
gates seems to be settled. Chairman
Carter has received numerous telegrams
from all over the country calling for the
removal of the convention if the colored
men do not receive fair treatment. ..The
matter will be brought up in the com
mittee today, and Chairman Kennard,
of the local committee, will give assur
ances that the colored delegates will be
taken care of. . ( .
A M'KINLEY viCTOBY. .
St, Louis, June 10. The entire day's
session was given up to the Alabama
contests, which involved the seats of the
four delegates-at-large and all of the nine
districts, except the second, making 22
seats that were in dispute.
Of the eighteen delegates whose cases
were decided, either by vote of the com
mittee or by withdrawal, 16 are for Mc
Kinley and two for Reed. There wsi
no division upon any of the contests,
- except that made in the case of the del-egales-at-large,
and this was overwhelm
ingly in favor of the Vaughn, or Mc
Kinley delegates, and against the Mose
ley, or anti-McKinley men.

PANIC AX A CHICAGO ' FIRB.
Sixty Mea and Women Trample Over
On Another. '.'
Chicago, June 10. Sixty cloakmakers
employed at 492 .Morgan street were
thrown into a panic by fire last evenicg,
and for a time it seemed as though' some
of them would be trampled to death in
the scramble to escape. ;-
Both men and women are employed
in the establishment, and when word of
the fire bad been given everybody made
a rush for the stairway. Those on the
third floor made their way down to the
first, but here they were stopped by em
ployes from the first floor, who were
afaid to run down the lower stairway
which was beginning to burn quite
briskly.
Fully thirty-five men and women
stood panic-stricken on the stairway,
while the flames ascended rapidly.
Just as the sheet ot fire began licking at
the feet of the foremost of those on the
stairway one of the men darted swiftly
down the burning structure and es
caped without a scratch. Those behind
him followed in quick succession until
all but about three of the employes had
escaped..
These three, who were men, remained
on the third floor until the fire depart
ment arrived and then made their way
down a ladder which was hoisted to a
rear window: Those in front of the
building scrambled to the street by
means of another stairway.
The flames were extinguished in a few
minutes, as they were confined to the
stairway.

From a letter written by Rev. J Gun
derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are
permitted to make this extract: "I
have no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King's New Discovery, as the ' results
were almost marvelous :n the case of my
wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist
Church at River Junction she was
brought down with Pneumonia succeed
ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of
coughing would last hours wHh little in
terruption and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend recom
mended Dr. King's New Discovery ; it
was quick in its work and highly satis
factory in results.'.' Trial bottles free at

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City
111. was told by her doctors she bad
Consumption and that there was no hope
for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's
New Discovery completely cured her
and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos.
Egeersy 139 Florida St. San Francisco,
suffered from a dreadful cold, approach
ing Consumption, tried without result
everything else then bought. one bottle
of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally thank
ful. It is such results, of which these
are samples, that prove the wonderful
efficacy of t his medicine in Coughs and
coldc. Free trial bottlea at Blakeley &
Houghton's Drug Store. Regular size

In the fall of 1893 a son of Mr. T. A.
McFarland, a prominent merchant of
Live Oak, Sutter... county,' Calif., was
taken with a very heavy cold. ' The
pains in his chest were so severe that he
had Bpasma and was threatened with
pneumonia. His father gave him sev
eral large doses of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which broke up the cough and
cured him. Mr. McFarland says when
ever his children have croup he invari
ably gives them Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and it always cures them. He
considers it the . best cough remedy in
the market., For sale by Blakeley &
Houghton's Drug store.
Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Chas. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno
eounty, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a splended medicine it is :
"It is with pleasure I tell you that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My head was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using thia 'remedy freelv as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.
