Patent medicines differ
One has reasonableness, an
other has not. One has repu-
tation-another has not. One
has confidence, born of sue
cess = another has only
"hopes."
Don't take it FOR granted
that all patent medicines are
alike. They are not.
Let the years of uninter-
rupted success and the tens
of thousands of cured and
happy men and women, place
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription
on the side Of the comparison
they belong.
And there isn't a state or
territory, no-nor hardly a
country in the world, whether
its people realize it or not,
but have men and women
in them that're happier be-
cause of their discovery and
their effects.
Think of this in health.
Think Of it in sickness. And
then think whether you can
afford to make the trial if
the makers can afford to take
the risk to give your money
back as they do if they do
not benefit or cure YOU.

GLIMPSEs OF THE SENATE.

Morgan Tackles Finance Again-The
Option Bill Comes Up.
While the house was wrestling with the
sundry civil bill the senate was listening
to financial talk by Morgan, who, like
''Ole virginny," ''never tires", and Stew
art. True, Stewart was speaking as q
privilege obtained by the consideration Of
the anti-option bill, but he never reached
options once in his speech, devoting the
entire time to q plea for more money.
The resolution under which Morgan
renewed the financial debate Invested Of
the redundant verbiage OF the whereases,
etc. proposes that as the United States
owes over 81, OO0, O01 900 which by law is
payable in gold, it is hereby ordered that 1t
is all payable in silver or paper as the
government may find 1t convenient.
Cannot Contract to Pay In Gold.
1t also.invalidates all cont racts to pay
debts in gold. because private indebted
ness in this country is rapidl- being con-
tracted for payment in that metal, and
this nlaces the deb tor class in dangerous
naturalization to the power of the man
with money; also for the reason that the
disparity between the amount OF debts
now or prospective and the amount of gold
sin sight" is SO great as to cause distrust
in the soundness OF our paper money. The
resolution wants all the money-paper or
,harw;se-of the country at its present
standard made full legal tender for all
debts- public and private, without excep-
ton or restriction.
Legal Tender Law Essential.

Proceedings in Congress.

WASHINGTON July 26.-Littie was &C
com plished in the senate yesterday except
to discuss a financial proposition of Nor
gan without result, and to read the anti
option BILL and to amend it according to
Washburn's views, leaving many other
amendments pending. The only senator
who spoke on the bill was Stewart, and
his remarks were directed to almost every
other topic except those embraced in the
bill.
In the house the appropriation of s., 600,
600 to the Worlds fair in the sundry civil
bill was voted down, / 10 to 123, and the Sun
day closing paragraph inserted by the
senate was sustained by a vote of 147 tc

ploys the Pinkerton detective agency or
other similar organization and prohibiting

FREDA WARD. ALICE MITCHELL.
Alice woman regards man. A promi-
nent physician, discussing the case from a
scientific standpoint, said the story of
these two girls gave rise to problem for
psychologists, viz: can one woman love
another as a man, without being insane,
and when this love is reciprocated, are not
both insane?
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1892-07-20
Their Love Was Contagious.

The case now shows that Alice first
loved Freda as man, and that after the
usual amount of wooing reciprocation
followed, and that the lovers in the early
stages of their infatuation infected their
other female companions with like pas
sions; for Lille Johnson, Alice Mitchell's
chum, and 10 Ward, Freda's sister, were
devoted to each other, and the relations
between these two were beyond the mere
girlish fancy of one girl for another.
Letters and Trinkets of Alice.
Testimony introduced yesterday
showing that insanity was a feature of
Mrs. Mitchell's family, several of her
RELATIVES having been insane at times.
The letters rod ced showed that Alice
loved Freda as an honorable man loves a
pure girl. These letters were brought
into court by Robert Mitchell, Alice's
half-brother. With them were her triI-
kets-mar bles, tops, base balls and other
boyish playIhings The letter case con-
tanned copies of letters from Alice to
Freda and Freda's original letters to Alice.
Novel Feature of the correspondence.
When Alice and Freda became engaged
and were finally separated Alice told
Freda to write to her Freda Ward,
telling her that she (Freda) was in love
with Freda Ward and not Alice Mitchell,
for Alice Mitchell's personality had been
merged into that of Freda Ward. Freda
Ward then wrote to Freda Ward and her
letters were couched in the most eudear-
ing terms. Alice, of course, received the
letters and became, after time, jealous
of the mythical Freda. She thereupon
wrote to Freda and told her that Freda
Ward WAS dead

There 10 no doubt that man is a fine
mechanism, but like every other ma
chine he wears out by friction. 1t is
said that he is born again every two or
three years. His body is virtually re.
made from food. To retaFa this max
ing over is radically wrong as a man
loses SO much vitality in the delayed
process that it takes a long time to re-
cuperatc. The process Of making anew
is so accelerated by purging with Brand
reth's Pills that new man, as 1t were,
may be made in two or three months,
and the change in the mechanism is
such that the worn out part Is replaced
by the new without the usual running
down OF the entire machine. You
don't have to stop for repairs. Purge
away with Brandreth's Pills the old, dis
eased and worn out body. They arc
purely vegetable, absolutely harmless,
and safe to take OF any time.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Your committee ap-
pointed at last meeting to draft resO-
lutions expressive of sympathy
with the demands of the Alliance and
Endorsement of its leaders, beg leave to
submit the following:
WHEREAS, We have witnessed for
some time a Capitalization, that legis-
lat1on has been Of such a character as
TO make rich richer and the poor
poorer, until the burdens upon the
farmers and laborers have become in
tolerable. 1t is now evident that some
action on their part is necessary. And
whereas, we recognize in the PRINCIPLES
OF the Alliance and Industrial Union.
If carried out, to be the remedy so
much needed by It's; and whereas.
these principles and our leaders have
been uniustly assailed by the partisan
press, and desiring to give public ex-
preston of III sympathy with the one
and u Endorsement of the other
therefore be it
ReSOLCed, in Harlem Alliance, No.
ass, that we declare our Interchangeable
attachment to the platform of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union, and will do all in our power to
carry them out
2. That believing our leading men to
be honest and faithful, and actuated
