That FayOrite Home Remedy,
P PAIN-KILLER, r,

Has been before the public OYER THIRTY YEARS, and
probably has wider and better reputation than any
other proprietary medicine of the present day. At
this period there but few unacquainted with the
merits of the PAIN-KILLER; but, whil1 some extol
1t as liniment, they knew but little of its power in
easing pain when taken internally; while others use
it internally with great success, but are equally
ignorant of its healing virtues when applied external
ly We therefore wish to say to ALL that it Is equally
successful, whether used internally or externally
1t is sufficient evidence Of it's virtues standard med
eine to know that it is used in all parts of the
world, and that its sale is constantly increasing No
curative agent has had such wide spread sale CT
given such universal satisfaction.
DAVIS PAIN-KILLER is purely vegetable COM

and with that nsures the most perfect Uniform

remedy for pain it is perfectly safe medicine even

THE PoPE's ILLNEss.-The Pope of Rome,
the Oldest potentate in Europe, is sick again. If
he lives till the 18th Of next month he will be
eighty-one years Of age. He has held his office
longer than any Of his predecess rs, not ex-
cepting the first in the line-iE the belief of the
church-namely, st. Peter himself. And yet
the twenty-seven years passed by Plus TX in
the papal chair cannot be said to have been hap
py ones, and the last have been particularly
troubled; so that we are apt to infer that he is
the possessor of remarkable constitution.
Every rumor of his illness, however, calls to
mind the event which cannot be very distant
and which may have a great bearing upon
European affairs The Pope's successor will
be chosen by the ''Sacred College" of cardinals,
which in 1870 consisted of eighty -one persors-
though we think two or three have died since
All but twelve in the list are Italians, so that
the election will be controlled wholly by the
Italian priesthood. Tho election is by ballot
and requires two-thirds vote. The present
method was adopted in 1917. Plus TX, we may
add, is the 257th Pope, and the exceptional
length of his incumbency may be seen from the
statement that the average reign of the Popes
has been only seven years.

A GREAT SwINDLE.-A New York special of
Friday gives some particulars of the extent of
the Tammany advertising swindle as fol-
lows:
Comptroller Green's report to the Senate,
showing the ameuts claimed and amounts paid
to the various newspapers of the city during the
last five years, and also Of the claims which
have been presented and amounts paid to each
in settlement since his accession to office, was
made public. The amount paid for the five
years was three million five hundred and sixty
nine thousand SIX hundred and seventy-sx dol
lars. This sum, with further large amount
of claims presented since 1871, but not allowed,
would make a total of claims for five years of
S., 1905 ,995.85. The cost of advertising for
the city and county in 1871 was s., 1,093, 1863 81;
1872 $145 $50 Il, being reduction in one year of
$917.819 II. Mr. Green's predecessor gave the
printing to twenty papers, since dead, land
which never had life except in the support re-
ceived from the Citv Treasury. 1t was moi, how
ever, under the Charter of 1871 that these
great frauds were committed but under the Or
ders of the Common Council making twenty
three daily and sixty-one weekly papers corpor-
alton journals. These papers received in 1867
$211 1,327 in 1868, $685. 253 in 1869, $685. 662; in

Thousands are suffering fever and ague, or anguish-

weather of the season is apt to produce especially if
the nervous system be particularly sensitive and the
physique delicate rather than robust. All these suf-

forecast. A course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
commenced a month ago, would have exempted
them from their present troubles. Having neglected
prevention, let them at once adopt the means of
