Commissioners will be glad to hear
suggestions from taxpayers relative to
any under or over valuations in the

Rheumatism.

DEING due to the presence Of uric
- acid in the blood, is most effectually
cured by the use Of Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. Be sure you get Ayers and no
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the

testimony: -
"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
govt, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, / saw by an advertise
ment in Chicago paper that a man had
been relieved of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. 1 then decided to
make trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that it has effected
complete cure. have since had no re-
turn Of the disease?'--Mrs. R. Irving
Dodge, 10 West 125th ST., New York.
"One year ago was taken i'll with
inhammatory rheumatism, being con-
fined to my house six months. / came
out Of the sickness very much debili-
tated, with no appetite, and my system
disordered in every way. / commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla and began to
improve at once, gaining in strength

House Committee ON Pacific Railroads.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The House COM
mittee on Pacific railroads heard further
statements by Moorefield Story, attorney
for the Union Pacific, supplementary to
President Adams statement and which in
cluded figures which he promised to file
with the committee. Story submitted a
copy of the pending bill to fund the govern
ment Indebtedness of the Pacific roads,
containing the amendments suggested by
President Adams to meet the case of the
Union Pacific. The changes of consequence
proposed are the abolition of the govern
ment guarantee of bonds to be issued; pro-
vision for cancellation upon full payment
of the bonds and REIMBURSEMENT of the
amounts of payments somewhat upon the
plan proposed in the case of the Central
Pacific SO as to fund half of the interest for
the first ten years, and thereby reduce the
amount of the first payments with CORES
ponding increase of ultimate payments.
The House committee on judiciary APP
pointed committee to visit Alabama
and the neighboring southern states to
make an investigation of the alleged i'm
proper action of court officers in instituting
prosecutions without reason for the pur-
pose of collecting fees. 1t is also charged
that sentences in criminal cases have been
suspended without warrant Of law.

PROHIBITION In IOWA
Assistant Postmaster General
ClarksOn Discusses it.
A VERY IMPORTANT PAMPHLET.
1t is Said to be by Emperor William Stanley
Comments Upon Embellishments
Birthday Presents.

WASHINGTON, April Sin an interview
to day regarding the prohibition
movement in Iowa, First Assistant Post
master General Clarkson said: "The pro-
hibition law has had seven years trial, and
while it has proved an admirable law for
the agricultural counties and smaller
towns, it has failed to find public opinion
to enforce it in the larger cities and in the
counties on the Mississippi river, which are
largely settled by people of European
birth. 1t is an open fact that it cannot be
enforced in such localities without the
state constabulatory, which the temper OF
the people would never permit. The Re
publican party never has been united in
support of the measure. AS many as fifty
or sixty thousand Republicans opposed it
but have gone along with the party willing
to see the experiment tried. Now that 1T
has been tried seven years and failed in
part, they insist that the law shall be
amended to give prohibition to so per cent.
of Iowa where public opinion favors and
enforces it; but that some other method of
regulating and representing the traffic be
given to 20 per cent. of the state where eX-
perience shows it never can be enforced.
'sThe demand ofoyesterday's convention
for silent platform will not be successful.
1t is not the temper of the Iowa people to
be silent on any question. The present
legislature should, in my Judgment, modify
the law as demanded by experience Oh
actual trial. The suggestion for another
vote on a cons titutional amendment does
not meet the question. A seven years. ex-
pertinent should be followed by action
Besides, do not believe it right to vote
anything of an experimental character into
constitutions All good people wish tt
reach such legislation as will be nearest
right and most repressive of the liquor
traffic, and if possible destructive OF 1T
but common sense must regulate in this a:
in all other affairs of men.
s'The cigar manufacturers who made al
argument yesterday in opposition to thu
tobacco schedule in the new tariff bill
to-day fed with the committee a substitute
schedule which would be acceptable Il
them. 1t is intended to correct that pro
vision of the bill which subjects to duty a

tents of any baled leaf tobacco containing

A Chicago Diamond Thief.

CHICAGO, April 3.-An exciting hand to
hand encounter for $500 worth of
diamonds occurred to-day in room at the
Palmer house. A young man registered
Sunday under the name of Ralph Allen.
To-day he sent to several iewelry stores
asking that some diamonds be sent for in
spection, saying he was laid up with a
sprained ankle. Salesman Bigler was sent
from Hyman & Co. to make Inquiries and
found Allen apparently all right. He was
still suspicious, however, and when he re-
turned with the gems he had a porter
stationed outside the room door. After
discussing the proposed purchase for sew
eral moments, Allen grasped heavy cane
and felled Bigler to the floor. The sales
man struggled up and grappled with
the ruffian, meanwhile yelling to the por-
ter The latter, however, lost his wits and
when Allen broke away and ran down the
hall, allowed him to get past To persons
who attempted to stop Allen, he shouted
Catch that insane man, pointing back.
Timekeeper Dregg was not to be fooled,
however, and captured Allen Papers
found on his person indicate he came from
Washington, and that possibly his right
name is George A. Pierce He refuses to
disclose his identity, saying this was the
first time he was ever in trouble and charg-
ing it to liquor. He does not want his folks
to know it. Salesman Bigler has severe
scalp wound but is not seriously hurt.
