Denver, July 10.-John Mitchell, the former head of the United .Mine Workers of America, to-day made a personal appeal to the Alabama del egation not to present his name to the convention for the Vice Presiden tial nomination.

Denver, July 10.-At 4.11 o'clock this afternoon the National Demo cratic Convention completed Its work by tho nomination by acclamation of John W, Kern, of Indiana, for Vice President, and at 4.22 the conven tion adjourned. Tlie end came after a three-hour session, which was marked by the greatest enthusiasm, despite the fact that the delegates had hardly recov ered from the harrowing experiences of the pervious session, which had lasted almost until the break of day. WhO Ile Is. Indianapolis, Ind.. July 10.-John W Kern has been n prominent fig ure in State politlct for a period of twenty-four years, having been nom inated by the Democrats in 188 4 for reporter of the Supreme Court and being elected with the entire State ticket. He was born and reared In Howard county, and before his nomination for reporter was regarded as one of the brainiest young lawyers of the State. Since he retired from the office of reporter he has served four years In the State Senate from this county, has been twice honored by his party with the gubernatorial nomination, and once receiving the complimentary vote of the legislative' minority for the United States Sen ate. Mr. Kern has always been a very staunch party man. In the prelimi nary campaign of 18!H?, when there was such a determined fre? silver sentiment and it seemed inevitable that the approaching Democratic State Convention would endorse free silver, he was a pronounced gold man, and entered freely into the fight to create sentiment in the party against the new political dogma.

Free-for-AU Fight at a Resort Near Washington. Washington, July 9.-As the re sult of a serious riot late Tuesday night at River View, a resort on the Maryland side of the Potomac, about fourteen miles below here, twenty five privates of the United States army are under arrest, at Fort Wash ington, Md., and Capt. Edward N. Macon, who endeavored to suppress the outbreak, suffered a broken arm and many of the rioters sustained painful injuries. The participants may be courtmartlaled. Tuesday being pay day, seventy five of the men, lt ls said, had been drinking, and became Involved In a free-for-all fight at River View, in which several civilians participated. Men, women and children excursion ists fled from the resort. Capt. Ma con and a company of men went to the resort, nnd after considerable re sistance, finally put the rioters under guard at Fort Washington. Making Good. There Is no way of making la*Hn*y friends like "Making Good;" and Doctor Pierce's medicines well exemplify this, and their friends, after more than two decades of popularity, are mnntwred by the hundreds of thousands. They have "made good" and they have not made drunkards. A good, honest, square-deal medicine of known composition is Dr. Pierce's Ooldea Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an im mense salo, while most of the prepara tions that have come into prominence in the earlier period of its popularity have "gono by tho board" and aro never more heard of. There must be some reason for this long-time popularity and that ls to bo found In Its superior merits. When once given a fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver nnd blood affections, Its supe rior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence lt has survived and grown in pop ular favor, while ?cores of less meritorious articles have suddenly flashed Into favor for a briof period and then been as soon forgotten. For a torpid liver with Its attendant Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite, with distress after eating, nervousness and debility, nothing ls so good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, lt's an honent. smiaro-doal medicine with all Its ingr?dients printed on bottle-wrapper - no secret, no hocus-pocus hun.bug, therefore don't accept a mbstitute that the dealer may possibly make a little big ger profit. In*M on your right to have what you call for. Don't buy Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion expecting lt to prove a "oure-all." It Is only advised for woman's special ail ments. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. Loss advertised than some preparations ?old for like purposes, Its sterling curativo virtues still maintain Its position In tho front ranks, where it stood over two decades ago. As an In vigorating tonic and strengthening nerv ine lt la unequaled. It won t satisfy those who want "booze," for there ls not a drop of alcohol in lt.

Mr. CliamhliKH Accepts Position In I )< |)iu ( mein of Agriculture. Columbia, July 9.-C. E. Cham bllss, State entomologist, has resign ed lils position and accepted a posi tion in the bureau of plant industry, department of agriculture, where he will carry on his work of the last few years in investigating rice blight and other matters affecting the rice crop of the country. This new posi tion gives Mr. Chambllss a much wider field In which to work and broader facilities for that work, and while he will no longer make his headquarters In South Carolina, this State will feel the immediate good effects of his Investigations as much as at present. During the last few years Mr. Chambllss has done some notable work in this line, and while his ef forts have not been as State ento mologist confined to rice, his work' on this line has attracted the atten tion of the government officials, and this new position was recently of fered him without his knowledge of the matter previous to the time he received the offer. He has forwarded his resignation to the sub-committee of the Clemson College Trustees, and left this afternoon to take a brief rest before assuming his new duties. His headquarters will be in Wash ington, his work coming under the supervision of the bureau of plant Industry, department of agriculture, i but he will visit South Carolina fre ! quently. Ills work will also take him Into Louisiana, Texas and other Stnt<?? where rice Is planted. Mr. Chambllss is a great believer In South Carolina rice and Its possi bilities, both commercially and agri culturally. He now has on the plan tation of W. E. Haskell, near Char leston, a large number of varieties secured from all portions of the world, and his investigations on this line have been most Interesting and valuable. - , ??.

Paris, July 9.-The attorneys for (he Prince de Sagan are in no way surprised that Count Boni de Cas tellane intends to attack not only the Prince de Sagan, but the Princess, in his forthcoming suit to gain posses sion of his three children. They say that they expect that tho Count will attempt to create as much of a scandal as possible and they look forward to a protracted legal battle. The Prince and Princess de Sagan arrived at Versailles to-day and took up their quarters in a hotel where they will probably remain nntll they open their home in Paris in the autumn.
