Full Of trouble
the ordinary pill. Trouble when
you take it, and trouble when you've
got it down. Plenty of unpleasant
ness, but mighty little good.
With DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
there's no trouble. They're made
to prevent it. They're the origi-
nal little Liver Pills, tiny, sugar
coated, anti-bilious granules, purely
vegetable, perfectly harmless, the
smallest, easiest and best to take.
They cleanse and regulate the whole
system, in a natural and easy way
mildly and gently, but thoroughly
and effectively. One little Pellet
for a laxative - three for a cathar-
tic. Sick Headache, Bilious Head
ache, Constipation, Indigestion, Bill
ious Attacks, and all arrangements
of the liver, stomach and bowels are
prevented, relieved and cured.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned.
You pay only for the value re-
ceived. Can you ask more?

LETTER FROM UNCLE JOSH.
FIDDLER's CREEK, April 10.
No. %.

Editor Free Press:
Farm work is crowding now, and l
find it pretty hard work to write let
tiers after working all day in the field,
and I will have to give it up and call
this the last. Another thing, the
roads are simply dreadful. In taking
my last letter over to the village to
mail to you, my team got stuck, with
an empty spring wagon-that is, it
was empty except yours truly was sin
it,"
When the roads get better. if you
will come up here, and will let me
know in time, I will meet you at the
station, and [ will warrant you the
best fishing that you ever had. /
wanted to tell you about visit the
Deacon and I had with Railroad
man who was stopping at the Dea-
cons for few days. / wish you could
have heard him talk about business.
He is Mrs. GOodwin'S brother, and he
came one here from the East. Some
day | will write you about his talk,
but l can't do it now-I am too tired
when it comes night.
You have been very kind to print
all my letters, and you have made but
very few mistakes, which is a good
deal to say, considering my poor writ
ing-and now, in closing, find | have
so many things | want to tell you
about that hear talked among the
farmers, that 1 find it hard to say
good-by--but [ must content myself
with simply adding, that every day /
see evidences that what the Deacon
has said about the Alliance was cor
rect. He could see farther ahead
| than / could. The better class OF
farmers are becoming disguised with
the actions of the Alliance leaders.
The latter do not hold to the grounds
on which they were elected. They
are "plunging" now, on their own
hook, and when another election
comes around they are liable to hear
something drop.
The Deacon wishes me to send you
his kindest regards, to which please
allow me to add those of

When asked if he expected to go

THAT is subject which | never men

laughingly, land we have America

sent to Mr.. Stanley's going to Africa

husband. Eyes," was the wife's
ready response, II am learning from

independent and brightest in the

Stanley did not MENTIONS that she
is great traveller, and her brightness
leads her to appreciate comfort and
elegance of equipment and courteous
treatment. AS a consequence, 'sThe

ALTHOUGH Mr.. Currier has been
the subject of considerable criticism
owing to his radical ideas in regard to
railroad legislation, he has won the
thanks of all respecters of high moral
ity by securing the passage, during
the closing hours of the legislature,
of the bill raising the age of consent
from ten to sixteen years. This is one
of the few measures which can be
pointed to with pride as having been
enacted by the recent legislature. Mr..
Currier begged the House as person
al favor to him to pass the bill, and
thus saved it from the general wreck.
The people of Blue Earth county are
proud that one of their representa-
tives can claim the honor of causing
the disgrace under which. the state
has so long existed, to be wiped out.
The old law was better suited to a
barbarous nation, even among whom
it would probably have been repudi-
ated.

SHOULD GO TO THE BOTTOM.

The report made by the House in
vestigating committee just before adj
journment on the cruel and inhuman
treatment of three prisoners in the
Saltwater penitentiary, if true, is de-
serving of the most vigorous public
condemnation and the immediate dis
charge of the officials guilty of inflict-
ing such cruelty upon human beings.
If false, it is due the prison officials
that the fact be made known without
delay. Governor Merriam has ap-
pointed as committee to investigate
the charges, Hon. Geo. HI. Brackett,
Rev. S. G. Smith and Hon. John w.
Willis, and in his instructions charges
the gentlemen to not only investigate
the particular cases referred to, but
also the whole system of punishment.
The following questions are furnished
the committee to guide them in their
labOrS:
First. What punishments are en-
ployed? Second. Under what regula-
tions and by whose authority? Third.
Are cruel and brutal punishments in
fiicted? Fourth. If not cruel or bru-
tai, are unnecessarily severe punish
ments inflicted? Fifth. What is the
effect of the system of punishment on
the discipline of the prison? Sixth.
What is the effect upon the mental
and physical health of the prisoners?
Seventh. Furnish such information
as you can obtain relative to the sys-
TENS of punishment employed in other
prisons.
The gentlemen composing this COM
mittee will return no "white washed
report" The people of the State,
during the past three months, have
heard a great deal of unsavory things
connected with the prison and It's
management, and if one half of the
reports are true, the institution is
conducted in manner highly disre-
putable, and thoroughly disgusting.
We are free to confess that we have
taken little stock in the adverse criti-
cisms, believing that much Of the
blood and thunder stories emanated
from source calculated to create po-
litical capital; but it will not do to
longer remain silent. Let the whole
matter be probed to the very bottom
and if there is anything ''rotten in
Denmark" let it be eXhumed and
cremated. Either the penitentiary
has a lot of brutal, incompetent and
unworthy attaches, or else it has
been numerically lied about and mis-
represented.
Let us know the bottom facts.

IT must be nauSeating to an honest,
intelligent Alliance member to read
the slosh and slop sent out by the exc
cutive committee (Donnelly) in eX-
cuse for the failure of the Alliance to
accomplish anything in the way of
legislation, and to try and saddle the
blame upon the shoulders of others.
And then read this bit of unadulter-
ated cheek, creased over into resolu-
tion and fried down to brown on a
Donnelly gridiron:
Resolred. That the executive COM
mittee of the State Farmers Alliance
shall exercise a general supervision,
from time to time, over the manage
ment of the Irvine industry in the
state prison, with a view to keeping
the farmers of the state informed as
to the progress of the work.
Now Supposing the Prohibition or
Democratic party should call a meet
ing Of its executive committee and
pass such a resolution! Isthere a sane
man in the State who would not de-
nounce it as an asinine procedure?
And yet it would be just as reason
able, in just as good taste and with
just as much propriety as for the Alli-
ance executive cOmmittc. Such an
expression from body of men is moth
ing short of an insult to the State and
to the officers who have been intrust-
ed with it's management. There
seems to be an idea floating through
the capillary substance of some of Mr..
Donnellys jumping jacks that the
salvation of the farmers rests upon
their shoulders, and so believing they
forthwith ''resolve" to exercise a
general supervision over the manage
ment of the Irvine industry" Who,
pray, vested this committee with such
plethoric executive powers on behalf
of the State? For great big develop
ment of the bump of self-importance
commend us to the executive commit
tee of the Alliance. If these gentle
men would attend to their individual
business and permit the men to han
die the Irvine industry that are paid
for it and who are responsible to the
people for their acts, the farmers
would be vastly better subserved,
The failure of the Alliance as legislat-
ors should Undue Donnelly and his
committee with a sense of the "etern.
al fitness of things"

TALKING Of natent madicinas-voI

Talking of patent medicines-you
know the old prejudice. And the doc
tors-some of them are between you
and us. They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands won't
cure you. You'd believe in patent
medicines if they didn't profess to
cure everything and so, between the
experiments of doctors, and the ex-
periments of patent medicines that
are sold only because there's money in
the ''stuff," you lose faith in every
thing.
And, you can't always tell the pre-
scription that cures by what you read
in the papers. So, perhaps, there's
no better way to sell remedy than to
tell the truth about it, and take the
risk of it's doing just what it processes
to do.
That's what the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. Y
does with DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
If they don't do what their makers
say they'll do-you get your money
back.

PrTTsBURG, Dec. 10.--Mrs Mary P.
Lewis, the young wife of Richard p

ceedings would be begun in court to OBJ
tain possession Of his 3-year-old child.
The nurse was in the farther part Of
the room, aud Mrs Lewis spraug from
her bed aud on to the window sill,
which is 60 feet above the pavement.
Mrs. Lewis will be guarded by two
nurses now. Owing to her illness, the
hearing in the hRbeas corpus case was
postponed until TO day. Mr.. George
Urnstead will not be the only core
spondent in the divorce proceedings.
Several other well known men have
been traced by letters found among Mrs.

Richard p Lewis has instituted suit
against Urnstead for $40, 900 damages
for the alienation of his wife's affec'
| tions. A capias was issued for his ar
rest, but Mr. Urnstead, it is said, has
