No Cure No pay.

1t is pretty severe test of any doctors skill
when the payment OF his fee is made conditional
upon bis curing his patient. Yet after having for
many years observed the thousands of marvellous
cures effected in liver blood and lung diseases, by
Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery, its man
ufacters feel warranted In selling it, as they are
now doing, through all druggists, the world over,
under certificate Of positive guarantee that IL
will either benefit or cure In every case OF disease
for which they recommend it, If taken in time and
given fair trial, or money paid for 1t will be
promptly refunded. Torpid liver or "bilious-
ness" impure blood skin eruptions, scrofulous
sores and swellings, consumption (Which is scrof-
ula of the iungs), all yield to this wonderful
medicine. 1t is both tonic or srength-restoring,
and Alternative or blood-cleansing.
Chronic Nasal Catarrh positively cured by DIR.
6age's Remedy. 90 cents by druggists.
The following was copied literally from an old
Tombstone in Scotland:
Here lies the body of Alexaneer Mcpherson,

Who was two yards high In his stocking feet,
And kept his announcements clean and neat

And came out at the back of his coat.

DUTY FREE.
A Move I" Check the Admission Of Mex
leo Lead Ores.

DnSsEE, May S.-SenatOr L. o. Wal
colt has gone to Washington for the pur
pose of representing Colorado at the ex
animation to be held by the assistant see
retary of the treasury regarding the adj
mission OF Mexican lead ores into the
United States free of dnty under the guise
OF silver ores" "
This is a matter in which the entire
west is generally Interested, and Colorado
and New Mexico have particular interest
in the matter
Senator Tpllc- ilaG infenled to be pres
ent, but MAS pre,ent"d by matters OF
moment. The 1t, phrlment, however, is
well acquainted WITH the 8 nior senator s
views, ~ b" has appeared before it on the
subject He has also discussed the sub
Ject very thoroughly with Senator Wal
cott who vii again present the senator's
views as welt as his own.
This pernlcious practice OF admitting
Mexican ores, which are essentially lead
ores and not silver ores, free of duty, has
had damaging effect upon the produc-
ton Of lead in the western states, and
should be summarily stopped.
The result of the investigation will be
eagerly watched and it is hoped that this
protection administration will not coun-
tcnance any evasion Of the tariff laws, az
Was the case in the above instance with
the late Democratic administration.

IRRIGATION SURVEYS.
Moro Field and Less Office Work--A wise
Provision of Law.

WAsHINGTOH, May S.-There is every
reason to believe that the prosecution OF
the surveys to determine the sites for
storage reservoirs in the mountains gener-
ally, under the geological survey, will
make greater headway in the future. As
a rule, it is asserted, much too large a
proportion of the funds allotted to this
branch OF government has been con-
sumed for office expenses, This city, Of
course, is a pleasant situation for those in
official life, and it has been customary to
stick close to the snug official quarters
furnished by the government. In other
words, good deal Of the time is spent in
this city in studying the problems pro-
vided by very slight service in the field.
But at the last session congress, IN
making larger appropriations for the irri-
CATION surveys, as they are termed, also
provided that detailed statement should
be made as to the exact amounts of money
spent in actual field service. This makes
it Indispensable that good lot of survey
ing shall be done in the mountain regions
and not so much time and money spent
in working over old data now among the
official records in this city.

Mr.. Proctor was seen at the hotel later in

not much to say, but he said it tersely
and pointedly.
81 am here" he said, "on my way to
Leavenworth, Kas. 1t is the duty of the
commission of the Leavenworth military
prison to visit it once in six months, and
it is usual for the secretary OF war to make
such visit and inspect the prison soon
after his induction into office. -Four years
ago Sec. Endicott made the trip and be-
fore him Mr.. Lincoln accompanied the
commission, the secretary OF war being
ex-officio a member of the commission.

Much like New Mexico,

WASHINGTON, May S.-The subject OF
irrigation is much discussed in Nevada,
as well as the rest of what is here called
the arid region. The chief OF the public
lands division of the interior department
says that by system of water storage
there can be brought under cultivation in
that supposed desolate locality from $4,000
to 10000 square miles Of rich agricultural
lands which otherwise must remain un-
productive for a long time.
1t is claimed, he says, that there is no
region which is better adapted to the pur-
pose OF saving water by means OF reser-
voirs, nor in which the water can be SC
cheaply saved and distributed to the
agricultural lands, than Nevada, there
being no need of long conduits or canals
nor is there anything in the surfaces upon
which such dams should be erected which
will increase the cost of constructing then
over the ordinary cost OF such construc
tions. 1t is claimed that they can in mos
cases be founded upon bed rock

An Interesting Exhibit.

WASHINGTON, May S.--One of the most
interesting exhibits for the Paris exposi.
ton was sent from the bureau of printing
and engraving yesterday. This exhibit
consists OF three large plaques containing
specimens of the work which has been
turned out by the bureau during the twen-
ty-fve years of its existence. In one OF
the larger plaques is to be seen, arranged
in the form of an arch and crossing from
one side to the other, the engraved por-
traits of all the presidents OF the United
States from Washington to Cleveland
and just below the center OF this arch, and
forming the central piece of the exhibit
is an unusually fine engraving of President
Harrison, while just above is one of Sec
retary Window. At the bottom, and form
ing the base to the arch, are the portraits
OF all the secretaries of the treasury from
Hamilton to Fairchild. On the LETT, and
forming an abutment to the arch are
grouped the secretaries OF war, and SINH
larly placed on the right the secretaries OF
the navy. Interspersed through the
whole are portraits of the eminent naval
and military commanders and other prom
inent Americans.

PARIS, May The formal opening
and dedication Of the grand international
exposition on the Champs de Mars took
place yesterday, concourse estimated at
nearly 800 900 people having sembed

ceremonies.
France is celebrating not only another

acter, in accordance with the program
prepared for the occasion. But there WAS
no mstaking the joyous enthusiasm with

mated that already over 00,000 visitors

intend to remain here until after the ex-
hihitiOn closes.

"Another wonderful discovery has been

her and for seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed necessarily

on taking first dose that SIZE slept all night,

FREQ TRANSPORTATION.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The inter state

of the eastern and northern states in the
matter of free transportation. In their
answer the companies stated that passes
were issued to the officers and employees
of their own and other roads. Counsel
for several roads raised the question OF
jurisdiction, and time was given them to
nreparc arguments.

Mataafa Appeals to America.

New YORK, May S.-John c. Klein,
the newspaper correspondent who re-
turned recently from Samoa, had received
several letters from King Mataafa, Of
Samoa, in which the latter states that the
Germans are just as determined ms ever.
The Germans have asked Mataafa for alb
solute power over all other white persons
in the country, and only on this condition
will they allow his boats free passage in
the waters of Samoa. Consul Knappe is
reported to be continually scheming tc
get the upper hand and King Mataafs
again appeals to America for aid.
