Liver, Stomach, and Bowels,
after Dr.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets have done their work.
It's a healthy movement, too
"a natural one. The organs
are not forced into activity
one day, to sink back into a
worse state the next. They're
cleansed and regulated-mlld-
ly and quietly, without wrench
ing or gripping. One tiny,
sugar-coated Pellet is all that's
needed as a gentle laxative;
three to four act as a cathar-
tic. They're the smallest,
cheapest, the easiest to take.

the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutionaI remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have q rumbling sound or imper-

Deafness is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are

4 stream Too Powerful for n Ar to Cut

~.
At dinner In Washington, not long
ago at which were many prominent
guests the president among the num-
ber- conversation turned upon mining
operations In California and Judge
Field. whose knowledge OF all matters
relating TO the Pacific coast is as ex-
tensive as his powers Of narrative are
entertaining astonished the distin-
guished company by some OF his as
sertions In regard to the force Of the
jets OF water employed by hydraulic
mining. He described the wonderful
manner in which the streams from the
hose cut to pieces and tore down the
hills that hold the precious metal.
Judge Field cited the Hon. James G.
Fair as his authority for the statement
that under vertical pressure Of one
or two hundred feet the force OF the
stream is sometimes so great as to hurl
away or hold boulders weighing a
thousand pounds; and that II would be
no more possible to cut through such
stream with crowbar or an axe.
where II issued from the nozzle, than
to sever eight inches OF solid iron with
pen-knife.
As Judge Field afterward informed
Senator Fair. In letter asking for ex-
pert testimony about the power Of
water applied by hydraulic machinery,
those assertions were received by some
of General Schofeld's guests with smiles
OF polite incredulity. The eminent
jurist felt that his position, for the
moment was somewhat like that OF the
Englishman who informed the King OF
Siam that in England water often be-
came so hard that people could walk
on 1t. 1t is not at all surprising that
the facts gravely alleged by Justice
Field should stagger, even an imagina-
ton like the Chief Justices, or strain
the faith Of SO profound believer in
dynamics as the Hon. Thomas B. Reed.
In consequence Of this incident, and
for the vindication OF his own reputa-
ton for veracity. Judge Field has col
lected from several of the highest au-
thorities on practical hydraulics evil
dence and opinions that are of great
interest.
Ex-senator Fair tells Justice Field
that at the Spring Valley gold mine in
Cherokee. Cal, the water used in the
hydraulic mining operations was
brought in pipes and bitches from q
distance OF nearly 100 miles, and that
the volume OF water used on every
working day in that mine amounted to
three times the number OF gallons con-
sumed daily by the entire city OF San
Francisco.
Mr.. Louis Glass for sixteen years
the superintendent of the Spring VAL
ley Mine, assures Justice Field that he
has seen an eight-inch stream under
311 feet OF vertical pressure, move in q
sluggish way a two-ton boulder at q
distance Of twenty feet from the nozzle;
and that the same stream striking q
rock OF 500 pounds would throw it as a
man would throw a twenty-pound
weight mo man that ever lived, :"
adds Mr.. Louis Glass, 'could strike q
bar through one of these streams with
in twenty feet Of discharges; and hui
man being struck by such stream
would be killed-pounded into shape
less mass

Awful Explosion in Pennsylvania Coal

suffocating nearly every workman. A

venting the gas from striking them.
There is not soul left to tell the story
Of the calamity. The persons not Kill
led are in such critical condition that
their death is momentarily expected.
Up to this writing fifty bodies have
been recovered, all without a sign Of
life. The fire which broke out after the
explosion was soon extinguished by the
immense fanp which were put in oper-
alton. The gas hasabout all been driv-
