BIL.I0USNESS.

Bilious symptoms invariably
arise from indigestion, such as
furred dtongue, vomiting Of bile,
giddiness, sick headache, ir-
regular bowels. The liver Sc
cretes the bile and acts like a
filter or sieve, to cleanse impu-
rites Of the blood. By irregu-
,larity in it's action or suspen-
sions Of its functions, the bile
is liable to overflow into the
blood, eausingja gjaundiee, ,sallow
complexion, yellow eyes, bill
ious diarrhWa, a languid,
weary feeling and many other
distressing symptoms. Bilious
ness may be properly termed
an affection Of the liver, and
can be thoroughly cured by the
grand regulator Of the liver
and hillary organs, BURpOCK
BLOOD BITTERS. Act upon the

The Maumee River and the "Ohio
Yell"

The Maumee, winding through its
splendid rich valley, seems TO possess
peculiar beauty all its own, and my
mind, unbidden, mentally comparing
1t with our old friend, the Humboldt.
The latter stream traverses dreary plains
where almost nothing but sage brush
grows; the Maumee waters a smiling
valley, where orchards. fields and
meadows alternate sugar-marle groves,
and its fair bosom reflects beautiful land
scape views that are changed and re-
beautified by the master-hand of the
sun every hour of the day, and doubly
embellished at night by the moon. 1t
is whispered that during 'the late un-
pleasantness," the Ohio regiments
could Out-yell the Louisiana Tigers,
or any other Confederate troops, two to
one. Who has not heard the "Ohio
yell"' Most people are magnanimous-
ly inclined to regard this rumor as sim
ply gag" on the Buckeye boys; but it
isn't. The Ohioans are to the manor
born; the Buckeye yell" is a tangible
fact. All along the Maumee it resounds
in my ears; nearly every man or boy,
who from the fields, far or near, sees me
bowling along the road straightway de-
livers himself ofa yell, pure and simple.
From making any comments, or draw
ing any comparisons petween the "Ohio
yell" and "Sioux or Comanche yell" l,
for various reasons, refrain.-Thomas
Stevens in Outing for July.

Pointers to Advertisers.

Don't expect an advertisement to
bear fruit in one night.
You can't eat enought in a week to
last you year, and you can't advertise
on that plan, either.
The enterprising advertiser proves
that he understands how to buy, be-
cause in ADVERTISING he knows how to
sell.
People who advertise only once in
three months, forget that most folks
cannot remember anything longer than
about seven days.
Ifyou can arouse curiosity by an ad-
vertisement, it is great point gained.
The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity
in the world.
Quitting advertising in dull times is
like tearing out dam because the wa
ter is low. Either plan will prevent
good times from ever coming.
Trying to do business without adver-
tising is like winking at a pretty girl
through pair of green goggles. You
may know what you are doing, but no.
body else does.
Enterprising traders are beginning to
learn the value of advertising the year
round. The persistency of those who
are not intimidated by the cry of dull
times, but keep their names ever be-
fore the public, will surely place them
on the right side in the end.-Er.

A Base Libel on an Ohio Girl.

NEW York, July.26.-In show case
in John street is a pair of shoes that at
tract considerable attention. They are
intended for Miss Fanny Mills, of San
dusky, o., who has become famous by
the vast size of her feet. The shoes are
No. 90, and owing to the fact that Miss
Mills has reached the age in which So
ciety demands part of her time the
shoes will be the first dress shoes made
for her. Fhey are made of three goat
skins, and are capable of making eight
pairs of ordinary ladies' shoes. They
are cork soles and button tops. Their
length is nineteen inches, the width
seven and half inches. The. waists of
the shoes are eighteen and a alfinches,
instep nineteen and a half, the ball
nineteen inches. The top of the shoes
reach to the calf and measure in cir
conference twenty and half inches.
The heels are five and half inches in
width, and four inches in length. Four
chamois skins were used in lining
them. The shoes, though plainly made,
cost ,$45. Miss Mills is blonde and
pretty, weighs 100 pounds and is of or
dinary height. Her father is we'll to
do farmer and it is said, will give Sc, 900
and farm to the man who will marry
her.

One of our exchanges contains the
following very clever trick: A cent
seems of comparative little value, but
if it is only doubled few times it grows
to marvellous sum. A young lady
caught her father in a rash promise by
knowledge of this fact on her part.
She modestly proposed that if her
father would only give her one cent in
one day and double that amount each
successive day for just one month, she
would pledge herself never to ask an
other cent of him as long as she lived.
Not stopping to run over the figures in
his head, and not supposing it would
amount to large sum he was glad to
accept the offer at once, thinking
it a favorable opportunity to include
a possible marriage dowry in the
future. On the 25th day he became
greatly alarmed lest if he complied
with his own acceptance he might be
obliged to be declared bankrupt on
his own petition" But on the 30th dey
this young lady demanded only the
pretty little sum of $5,368, ,706.12. The
astonished merchant was only too hap
py to cancel the claim by advancing q
handsome cash payment for his folly in
allowing himself to give bond--for his
word he considered as good as bond
without noticing the consideration
therein expressed, and by promising to
return the old custom of advancing
smaller sums daily until otherwise or
dered.

We read again that Egypt is on the
verge of bankruptcy. That is nothing
new. Its total revenue is but little
more than S40,000,000 u year, and of
this nearly one-half must go to pay the
interest on its debt, which is constantly
increasing, since it's annual budget al
ways shows large deficit. There is no
country in the world where the direct
taxes are so severe, but very consider
able share of the money wrung from
the people goes into the pockets of the
Government thieves that collectit. This
system keeps down agriculture and ev-
cry industry, since it is the policy of the
people to be poor, or to seem 80, for
they know that every extra dollar
above bare living will be stolen from
them by the rapaeious tax-gatherers.
And as a sample ofthe expenditure of
such of this swindied money as reaches
the Government Golfers, it should be
stated that civil list covers an annual
allowance to the Khedive of $3.50, 900 for
the support of his personal pleasure;
$500, 900 more for his deposed father,
who has harems in London and i'm Flor
ence, with SS75,000 more for what are
incidentally mentioned in the budget
as "other indirect members of the fami-
!y.n 1t would he superfuous to say
that most of the members of the family
are indirect"

AN EPISODE OF THE WAR RE-
CALLED.
An Order from Gen. Grant Which
Secretary Stanton Dared Not
Disobey.

WAsHINGToN,- July Ex-senator
Morgan, of Alabama, this evening, in
speaking of the magnanimity of Gen.
Grant, related the following, ofwhich
he was personally cognizant: Clement
G. Clay, said he, was appointed by the
Confederate Government as Diplo-
matte Commissioner to Canada. He
was afterwards taken and carried, 1 be-
lieve, to Fortress Monroe, where he
was imprisoned. He was dying at the
time, it was thought, of asthma, and
his wife came here to ask his release on
giving the required bond. She went
to President Johnson, and he gave her
the necessary order, which she took
back to Secretary Stanton, who read the
order and, looking her in the face, tore
it up without word and pitched it in
to his waste basket. The lady arose
and retired without speaking; nor did
Stanton speak to her. She was filled
with despair. She saw her husband, in
whom her life was wrapped up, dying
in prison and she was unable to help
him.
Shortly after she met gentleman. /

been treated. "Your husband was
commissioned by the Confederate
Governmet a Brigadier General" said
Garland, 81 was present at the time.
I know that he duly qualified and re-
ceived his commission. That brings
him within Gen. Grants parole to the
Confederate Army. You go to him
and tell him your story" Mrs. Clay
went straight to Gen. Grants house,
but was told that the General was just
about to leave for New York. She
asked to send in word to him, and the
servant took her name. In about o
minute Gen. Grant appeared, gripsack
in hand, and told her that he had but
time to catch the train.
''Then 1 will walk with you, General
the lady said.
"No, no." said Grant, "let's hear
what you want to say"
'"Then 1 must make my statement
short" said Mrs. Clay. "My husband
is Gen. Clay, of the Confederate Army.
He is in prison and will die ifhe stays
there. President johnson gave me an
order for his release on bond. I car
ried the order to Secretary of War
Stapton. Mr.. Stanton tore the paper
up before my eyes and cast it away"
Grant rung his bell and Badeau
entered. "Have you a roster of the
Confederate army?" said he.
eyes, sir" answered Badeau.
"Is there Gen. Clay?" he said, as he
took the roster.
"Clement G. Clay. Is that your hus-
band?"
'Yes, SIR"
Gen. Grant sat down and wrote as
follows:
"Gen. Clement G. Clay, of the Con-
federate Army, is included in the
parole of that army granted by me at
Appomattox. 1t is my order he be re-
leased on giving the proper bond, and
shall see that this order is carried out.
'U. S. GRANT, General U. s. A."
Grant handed the order to Mrs. Clay
and bade her good-by. The lady went
to Mr.. Stanton and presented the order.
The Secretary tapped his bell and,
the paper to his aid, said:
Have that man discharged"

THE NORTHWEST
A LESSON.
For Ohio Republicans to Read and
Ponder.
Sentiments ofGen. Grant as Expressed
to Gen. Buckner.

Gen. S. B. Buckner, who was a
school-mate of General Grant at West
Point, and afterward as an officer of the
Confederate army surrendered to Gen.
Grant at Vicksburg, called upon Gen.
Grant at Mt. McGregOr, q few days ago.
This fact was published at the time, but
none of the interview. The General
was interviewed in New York yester-
day, and although he had thought he
would not publish the substance of the
interview, concluded he would now an
nounce the substance of it.
General Buckner said: 1--WE had
some general conversation which was
of interest to no one but ourselves, and
which / do not feel justified in giving to
the public. In the course of it, howev-
er, Gen. Grant wrote one paragraph
which l regard as of great Importance,
and which the public have right to
read. Here it is in full, just as he wrote
it: Il have witnessed, since my sick
ness, Gen. Grant wrote, just what l
have wished to see ever since the war
harmony and good feeling between the
sections. Ihave always contended that
if there had been nobody left but the
soldiers we would have had peace in a
year. -and-are the only two
that I know of who do not seem to be
satisfied on the Southern side. We
have some on ours who failed to accom-
plish as much as they wished, and who
did not get warmed up to the fight until
it was all over, who have not had quite
full satisfaction. The great majority,
too, of those who did not get into the
war have long since grown tired of the
long controversy. We may now well
look forward to perpetual peace at
home and natural strength that will
screen us from any foreign complica-
tons. believe myself that the war
was worth all it cost us, fearful as that
was. Since it was over, / have visited
every State in Europe and q number in
the East, know now as 1 did not be-
fore the value of our institutions"
'Those," said Gen. Buckner, ARE no.
BILE sentiments of genuine patriotism,
and 1 think that the general public
ought to share with me the knowledge
that Gen. Grant held such views. They
show that he has only the good of his
country at heart in the last moments of
his patriotic life. The names of those
which have left blank are those of ex-
Confederates still living, and | don't
feel at liberty to make them public. |
Beyond this sentiment there was
nothing whatever in the interview that |
is ofinterest to anybody except General |
Grant and myself"

A scientist lecturing in Philadelphia
on coal, said it takesa prodigious amount
of vegetable matter to form layer of
coal; that it is estimated that the present
growth of the world would make lay
er only of an inch thick, and that it
would take million years to form a
coal bed 100 feet thick. The United
States have an area of $4,000 square
miles of coal fields; 100, 100000 tons of
coal were mined in this country last
year, enough to run a ring around the
earth at the equator 81 feet wide, and
81 feet thick, and there is enough coal
in the United States to supply the
whole world for period of 800 to
1000 years. The question of the ex-
haustion of coal supply is not imme-
diately important. The anthracite coal
in Pennsylvania would last 256 years,
while the bituminous coal in the same
district would supply the world fifty
seven years and the United States $50.

Gen. Grants Name.


Mr.. Richard A. Wheeler, of Stoning-
ton, is much interested in genealogical
matters, and twenty years ago, when he
was engaged in gathering statistics re-
garding the Grant family in Connecticut
he wrote to Mr.. Jesse r. Grant, father
of Gen. Grant, who was at that time
living in Covington, KY, and from him
obtained some important facts. One
curious revelation made by Mr.. Grant
is concerning the adoption of the name
of Ulysses for his son. 1t has been gen.
orally understood that the name given
him by his parents was Hiram Ulysses,
and that the Congressman who OBJ
tained his appointment at West Point
made mistake in having his name ap-
pear on the cadet roll as Ulysses s.
Grant; but his father tells q different
story, which is now made public for
the first time. He says-writing for
Mr.. Wheeler in 1865: "In June, 1921,
Mr.. ]. r. Grant and Miss Hannah Simp-
son were married and settled at Point
Pleasant, o. On the 9th ofApril, 1922,
their first child was born. AS is usually
the case with the first; there was good
deal'Of anxiety about selecting name
for the child. 1t was finally setteled that
the halfa dozen names selected by the
family should be all be put in a hat,
and the first drawn should be the name.
Ulysses was drawn, and his mothers
maiden name (Simpson) )adopted for the
middle name.

Neuralgia of tie Face.

Capt. John Orr, Pennington. Miss. has
been a most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. He has
had seventeen operations performed on
the nerves-tlfat is, had them divided, cut
of close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most excuciating pain continued
without the least interruption. He often
wished for death to relieve him of the in
tolerable pain. The best physicians failed
to relieve him. They finally advised him
to consult Drs. Hartman & Miller, at the
ST. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did. They prescribed PERUSA, and
in less than a month was entirely relieved
of the pain. Before consulting these doc.
tors the least touch to any part of his face
or nose would cause the most fearful pain,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear of pain.
The captain is grateful bevond measure
for this unexpected and unho1ed for result.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kenner0S Laurel street,
New Orleans, has been one of the great
est sufferers from Neuralgia Of the face
during the past year that we have ever
heard of. From morning to night, and
from night to morning, there was one
constant, racking, tearing, burning pain,
extending clear around her head and deep
down through every muscle, tooth and
bone in her face. No rest and no sleep.
All physicians failed TO relieve her, as
well as all remedies. She was constantly
in the most agonizing despair. She called
on DIR. Hartman, who said the cause was
chronic catarrh. lie prescribed PERUNA
for her and now every pain has left her.
She feels like another person and can eat
heartily and sleep soundy.
Mrs. c. Miles, Gallipolis, o., writes:

ANTS ATTACK A MAN.
But for Timely Assistance They
Would Have Killed Him.

Would Have Killed Him.
DAYTON, ", July 29.-Isalah Burn
crat, farmer living near Chambers
burg, a small country village few
miles from here, had a most wonder
full experience yesterday, narrowly
escaping being eaten by ants. He
was picking blackberries in a wild
patch of underground in a dense wood
when suddenly he disturbed millions
upon millions of large black ants
They were under thin covering of
earth, which he stepped on, and almost
instantly they crawled up his trowsers
legs, and when he tried to krock them
of, showed fight. Before he could
get out of the heavy growth of bush
he was covered from head to foot with
the pestiferous insects. They bit him
and crawled into his nose, ears and
mouth. He yelled for help, but soon
became blinded with the myriad of
ants on his head and face, and before
he reached the edge of the wood fell
helpless to the ground, utterly at the
mercy of the insects, and was only
saved evidently from death by the
timely arrival of brother. The
insects were the common black ants Of
large size. Burncrat was bitten by
them all over the body, and while
very sore, it is thought, providing the
bites are not poisonous, will recover.

GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE, the COM
mander of the confederate army, upon
one occasion in speaking of General
Grant said:
II wish to do simple justice to
General Grant when 1 say that his
treatment of the army of northern Vir-
ginia is without parallel in the history
of the civilized world. When my poor
soldiers, with famished faces, had
neither food nor nourishment, General
Grant issued an order that forty thous-
and rations should be furnished to the
impoverised troops. And that is not
all. was giving directions to one of
my staff officers when making out list
of things to be surrendered, to include
the horses. AT the moment General
Grant, who seemed to be paying no at
tension to what was transpiring, quickly
said: mo, no, General Lee, not a horse
not one-keep them all! You people
will need them for the spring crops"
. General Grant, after conquering his
enemies, was for ''peace."
