The Verdict Unanimous.

w. D. Suit druggist, Bippus, Ind, test
fics: 81 can recommend Electric Bitters
as the very best remedy. Every bottle
sold has given relief in every case. One
man took six bottles and was cured of rheu-
matism of ten years standing Abraham
Hare, druggist, Bellville, Chic, affirms ::
THE best selling medicine | have ever
handled in my twenty years experience, is
Electric Bitters." Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the YER
dict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do
cure all diseases of the liver, kidneys or
blood. Only half dollar bottle at a. g.

WARRINGTON NOTES.

The Director ofshe Mint Thinks See
 Measure Contains che Solution of she
 Silver Problem.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Director of the Mint Leech, in statement furnished for publica- tion, says that he believes Secretary Win dom's proposed silver measure not only the best plan for the present utiliz ation of silver but that 1t contains itself the solution of the silver problem. "It will afford, belisve," says MT. Leech, "a ready market for the sur plus product of the world, the normal effect of which will be to gradually and permanently enhance the value of silver until it reaches point so nearly corresponding with the value in coinage that we can with safety do away with all temporary measures and restore the law as it existed from the foundation of the government in 1873. It is curious fact that the papers representing the extreme gold sentiment of the East and the extreme silver men of the West should both oppose the plan and for diametrically diff ferent reasons. the former because it proposed to utilize silver more fully as money, and the latter because they say it de- grades silver to the level of comnodity. With regard to the latter objection fail to see how it is any more degrading to silver to receive 1t in unlimited quantities and issue notes upon 1t redeemable at the option of the holder in full legal tender dollars, the notes themselves being for all practical purposes full legal tender, frat, because they are receivable for government dues, and second because they are interchangeable with full legal tender. The only difference is that in the latter case we coinit into dollars and in the former we issue notes upon it for what the holder can receive dollars. The proposition to issue certificates on silver bullion is not new, but has been advocated in Congress in various forms by the most advanced silver men. In the same manner 1t has been re,
 peatedly proposed in Congress to issue
 certificates on gold bullion, and in my judg.
 ment this proposition should become law
 The plan proposed by the secretary is fa1 | more advantageous to silver producers thar
 the enforcement of the extreme limit of thu
 present law. Moreover, believe it will pay,
 the way to what is most desired by all tru,
 bi-metallists, free coinage of both metals q
 a fixed ratio.

AN AWFUL CHARGE.

The Defaulting Cashier of tho Pio-
 nser.Press Charged With Setting
 Fire To the Tribune Building
 Cloudy Looking Circumstances.
 ST. LOUIS, Dec. S.-A special to the Re- public from St. Paul, Minn., says: "Charles s. Ostrom, until last week cashier of the Minneapolis department of the Pioner- Press, is suspected of having started the fire which burned the Minneapolis Tribune building on the night of November 30, in which seven men lost their lives. He was charged on Friday night with having stolen $2,200 of the funds belonging to the Pioneer-Prees guilt and did all he could to help his employ CTS in straightenipg out tho books. The ru- nor was soon abroad that Ostrom had fired the Tribune building to hide the evidence of his guilt. He was interviewed In jail and stoutly denied his guilt in that direction. With tears streaming down his cheeks Os- trom said:
 'I know 1t looks ss though 1 was also guilty of the awful crime now charged against me, but as God Is my witness am not. think can prove clear slibi on that dreadful night. I knew that my specu. lations would soon be discovered and had determined to leave the city, but concluded 1t would be better to stay and face my the safe the night of the fire, which looked bad for me, as their destruction would de- stroy the evidence against me, but did not fire the Tribune building"
 Ostrem's downfall is due to gambling, ale though he was considered of exemplary habits. He married a young girl about three months ago.
