An Unhappy Home,

II wish my wife would get well Or
Something" said a husband who had
been sorely tried with an invalid wife.
1t seems q heartless speech, but who
can tell the discomforts of a home
where the wife is always sick. Poor food,
crying children! No wonder the man
grows desperate, But if he " ould get DR..
Pierce's "Favorite Prescription" for the
wife, he would find that the sunshine
would return to his home. "Favorite
Prescription" is positive cnre for the
most complicated and obstinate cases
Of leuc0rrhea, excessive flowing, painful
menstruation, unnatural suppressions,
prolapsus or falling of the womb, weak
retroYersion "bearingdown" sensations,
chronic congestion, Inflammation and
liberation Of the womb, Inflammation
pain and tenderness in ovaries, accom-.
panied with internal heat"

How Men Die.

II we know all the methods of ap-
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body sufices to enable it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases a little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Lungs. give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, a
careful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the ''bene-
factor of any home"

ago, as the season Is an early one and
the salmon have been ascending the
river for some time.

THE OZAR IN DANGER.
Plot to Assassinate Russia's Ruler
Stanley's Work In The Dark Continent.

Stanley's Work In The Dark Continent.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 19.-The po-
lice have discovered the existence Of a
nlhilist plot to assassinate the czar
with dynamite while attending the
funeral of the late Gen. Paucker, the
minister of roads. The czar was i'm
mediately warned not to attend the
funeral. A number of persons have
been arrested.
sTANLEY's LETTER SUMMARIZED.
LONDON, April 19.-The Times sum-
marizes fully the substance of Stan
ley's discoveries, as reported to the
Royal Geographical society, and says:
Stanley shows the region traversed by
him is probably the most extensive
forest region In all Africa, resembling
in many respects the tropical forest
region of South America. He has
definitely settled the courses of an
important afnuent of the Congo and
its tributaries, has defined the south
ern limits of the Albert Nyanza, and
found that it is radically decreasing.
He has all but established the fact Of
the existence Of separate lake to the
south of his own lake, discovered on
his great journey across Africa, which,
it will probably be found, drains into
the Congo, and not into the Nile; and,
no doubt, on his return Stanley will
be able to tell Us more Of the snowy
mountain rivaling the Kilimanjsro, far
away to the southeast of his stand
point on the west shore of the Albert
Nyanza. It now seems fairly clear
that the natural outlet of the region
around the Albert Nyanza is not by
Aruwimi, with its many rapids and al
most impenetrable forest, but east
ward by the Victoria Nyanza and
British east Africa.
THE PROMISED LAND.
WICHITA, Kan, April 19.-Among
other outfits for the Oklahoma border
are three wagon loads of coffins.
That trouble is anticipated is evi-
denced by the number of wills that
have been made and lodged with
bankers during the last few days.
Much money has been deposited, with
instructions to send it to certain ad-
dresses in case the depositors are not
heard from within q reasonable time.
AN IMPORTANT RULING.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Secretary
Window, In response to letter of in
quiry from T. o. Hague, of New York
city, has decided that machinery be-
longing to- foreign manufacturer,
who desired to transport his entire
plant and workmen to the United
States cannot be allowed to enter free
of duty, and that the transportation
of workmen in such manner cannot be
allowed, as it would be in violation of
the law prohibiting the importation of
contract labor.
THE Q. P. BACKS OUT.
CHICAGO. April 19.-It is reported

cent. for the Oregon Navigation stock,
which it agreed to with the Northern
Pacific when it entered into a COM
pact with the latter company a year
ago, dividing up the territory embrac-
ing western Montana, Oregon and
Washington territory. The alliance
has been Improbable to the Union
Pacific and the compact, it is said,
will be abandoned.
