sum Q tn1nx New Ah the ~~Aau' n
VanNess' Lightning Worm Powder,
for Children, which wonderful medl-
cine take great pleasure i'll introduc'
ing to the public, knowing that it Is
the very best medicine ever produced
for expelling worms. This 1 am sure
of, as | have, while in the drug busi-
ness some years ago, put up and sold
thousands of boxes. The medicine
has no bad taste; children eat it, like
it, and cry for more. 1t requires no
castor oil, but acts upon the system in
such way that nothing else is needed.
AS means of introducing it through
the county, have appointed agents
i'll nearly every town. and through the
country generally. Please bear in
mind one important fact, if the child
has worms it will bring them, and il
not, it will not injure the child, hut
will give it an appetite and build il
up. The powders are put up in boxe:
and retail at 25 cts. per box. Direc

KANSAS CITY, April 30.-A tornado

loaded with hogs, many of which We're
killed. The caboose was overturned,
and of four occupants three suffered
severe bruises. Near HarrisOnville

The constantly tired-oRt" feeling so
often experienced is the result of i'm
poverished blood, and consequent en-
feebled vitality. Ayers Sarsaparilla
feeds and enriches the blood, increases
the appetite, and promotes digestion
of the food, and the assimilation of its
strengthening qualities. The system
being thus invigorated, the feeling
rapidly changes to grateful sense OF

An Admirable Record.

When the record of the Ohio legis. |
lature that has just ended its lObors is
examined without prejudice, it will
appear that no other legislature in
many years has passed so many excel
lent laws.
1t has submitted a constitutional
amendment changing the time of state
election from October to November,
so as to be in accoi with other states.
1t has repealed the law establishing
the contract system of prison labor,
and thus given relief to the working
men of the state.
1t passed law for the inspection OF
workshops and factories, law forbid
ding the overworking of children, a
| law for the arbitration of labor dis
putes and law fOrbidding the pay
ment of miners In store scrip. What
other legislature ever did as much for
the working people?
1t enacted a law to protect poor peo-
pie who buy on the installment plan,
and another one to deliver them from
the voracity of the money sharks.
1t provided for reform in prison
management, and for an intermediate
penitentiary for the confinement and
reformation of the minor grade o.
criminals. 1t enacta d law providing
for the purchase of school books a
cost, and this broke down most op
, pressive monopoly.
1t provided that hereafter all execu
tions of criminals shall be performed
t within the walls of the penitentiary
, thereby avoiding the scandals and dis
graceful performances so often incl
dent to the hanging of murderers.
!, 1t passed most stringent, and it
e believed practicable, law for the sup
c. preston of wine rooms and slmlla
Infamous resorts.
1t enacted stringent laws agains
q political heelers and strikers, and
prevent the improper use OF money
elections.
n 1t passed a registration law for Cir
A cinnati and Cleveland which, whil
O perhaps more costly than desired, wi
secure greater purity in elections.
's 1t made important and necessar
= changes in the judiciary laws of til
e. state and organized the judicial sy
tenn of the state on better basis.
l. 1t created a state bureau for IL
,r preservation of forests.
n 1t defended the canal system of Il

aimed at the destruction of the canal

companied each presentation, when
