 Mrs. Mary Martin, of Harrisburg, Pa, says: "I suffered severely from \ complication of female diseases; that sense of bearing g-down seemed as if 1t would kill me; my habits were very irregular; nothing seemed to benefit me until tried Browns Iron Bitters. They acted like charm, and now enjoy perfect health."

A Timely Warning, or The Ex-
 perience of a Minister.

If you suffer from general debility, brought on by too close application to business and excessive brain-work; or from increasing prostration and sinks ing spells; that even rest or removal of the cause will not relieve, make haste to do as did reverend friend of ours. He secured from his druggist a bottle of Browns Iron Bitters, having heard of it's merit from a physician, who told him not to take any other Bitters or Tonic, for with the excep- tion of Browns Iron Bitters, they all contained alcohol, and had failed to give his patients lasting relief; for with the exception of Browns Iron Bit ters, they all blackened the teeth, and often gave headache, which Browns IT, on Bitters never did, but in fact cured headache, The effect was most satis- factory; he immediately realized won> derful results, His old energy return ed his natural force came back. and he felt himself altogether new man, ful! of health, strength and vigor, and he mas continued to remain so ever since. Now he recommends Browns Iron Bitters to all his friends, which we hnhesltating do to all our reIders.-- Globe.

Dye, of Searcy, at Beebe, last Sunday evening, and pronounce it one of the most effective and convincing argu- ments against the evil which destroys the souls of mon to which we have ever listened. The lecture was re, plets with statistics and argument showing the rapid strides Of the unho- ly trafic in the overthrow of the sn . l lightenment, the morals and the busi- ness interests ot this country. MT. Dye is an ardsnt and successful labor CT in the temperance cause.

GARFIELD EMPHATIC.

Executive Sessions Must be Held-The
Chinese Treaties Will be Considered
First.
WASHINGTON, April 20. - Senator
Dawes, chairman OF the Republican Can-
Gus Committee, had a conference with
the President to day. The President is
emphatic in urging the consideration OF
executive business, and especially in re-
gard to the confirmation OF nominations.
A number OF the pending nominations
are to fill vacancies, the existence OF
which somewhat embarrass the work OF
the departments, and as soon. as the
Senate resumes executive sessions, the
President has number OF nominations
10 make, some OF which he
has been requested bv the parties select
ed for the offices to hold back while the
dead lock continues, as the gentlemen
do not like to have their names hang
before the Senate.
There is no doubt but that the COM
mittee will arrange for an executive ses-
sion on Tuesday, to consider the Chi
nese treaties. This will take two or
three days, and in the meantime the
committee will arrange for action on the
nominations. The prevailing sentiment
among the Republicans seems to be In
favor OF letting Robertson's nomination
90 over TILL next winter, but the caucus
committee does not feel itself author
lied to single out the case, as the cour-
tssy OF the Senate demands that 1t be
leitto the New York Senators.

Who Were Connected with the Star Ser
vice-what Brady and HIS Gang Pro-
pose TO Prove.
wAshINGroN, April 29-It having
been said that Ex-senator Dorsey called
General Tom Brady a scoundrel, the
Senator has written "keerd, in which
he denies the charge. He says further:
ain due time shall reply to the criti-
cisms OF various correspondents and
newspapers respecting my connection
with the inland mail service. For the
present / need only say there is not a
grain Of truth in any one OF the allega-
tions that have been corruptly, unlsw-
fully or dishonesty connected with any
contract or other business with the
Government.
II is evident the ring OF contractors
are getting ready TO retaliate upon the
Administration. Those more prominent
know a ht ap OF interesting facts, which
will smirch several Christian statesmen
in high places IL let out. One report is
that the ring will charge that mail con-
tractors were assessed last year to raise
money for the Republicans in Indiana
at Gen. Garfield's request, and that the
latter knew how the money was to be
raised The rumOr also alleged that
other attacks will be made on the Presi-
dent, some Of them going back some
years. Brady's organ prints the follow
ing to-day:
The late exploits in the mud-throw-
ing line remind one OF the mighty
upheaval In 1928. when, on motion OF
Mr. Blaine, the Credit Mobilier invest.
CATION was set os foot. He was accused
OF intending thereby to kill OIL some
Presidential aspirants. One OF the
abused individuals reached the White
House in advance of Mr.. Blaine"
The latest victim OF the exposures IS
General George A. Sheridan, who holds
the Office Of Recorder OF Deeds in this
District. The President has again re-
quested him to resign.

RATHER UNPLEASANT
To Ride In the 81 Louis Street Cars and
be Peited With Stones

ST.. LOUIS, April 29-Most OF the
street railways are running to day and all
of them will probably sumeto-morrow.
Each company makes its own terms
with the men, there having been no
concert OF action or general agreement
among them. No trouble has yet oc.
CURED on any of the roads, and the only
interference 30 far reported occurred on
the Cass avenue line. When the first
car on this road reached Eighthteenth
street and Cass Avenue, in what is
known locally as the Kerry Patch, in
habited mainly by IRISH, some fifteen
or twenty women pelted the driver with
mud and threw cold water at him. AT
Seventh street and Cass avenue some
men threw mud and rocks at the car,
and again at Eighth street large party
OF boys assailed the cars with rocks and
mud. Nobody was hurt and no arrests
have been made. Those Of the strikers
who still remain out are in a very de-
moralized condition aud do not seem 10
know what to do. Their meeting at
Turner Hall this morning was but slim
ly attended and it is quite likely that
they will soon disband.
Everything Quiet and Roads oil Runniug'
Everything is now moving smoothly.
The military will be relieved at three
O'Clock, and the police will return to
their regular beats. All the roads are
now running, except three. Police Com
missioner Cupples wishes these roads to
run their cars tonight, but the railroad
managers are not yet decided whether
they will or not.
p. J. Maguire, the labor aeitator, was
released on $500 bail, but q warrant has
been sworn against him by a driver on
the Washington avenue road, for assault
with intent to kill.
II was announced at the strikers
meeting that John Garrigan, the Presi
dent. had severed his connection with
the Union and the cause, and commit
tees were appointed to wait upon Gar,
