shall the spirit of those patriots live in
us-a spirit that saved the nation
from the throes of destruction; spirit
that will preserve and guarantee its
lasting security. Our patriots doing
honor to the graves of patriots may be
trusted to understand and to hold
high the simple principle upon which
the oldest form of Democratic gov
ernment has withstood the gnawing
tooth of Time. In things es-
sential, unity, in non-essent-
ials, liberty; in all things.
charity. Charity, the love for our
fellow citizens and for our common
country, must make each and every
one of us guardian of the essential
constituents of
OUR NATIONAL UNION,
and must make every attack upon
them q crime. In essentials, no free
dom but absolute union; in non. .essen-
tials, the widest freedom, unrestraln.
ed freedom for all. 1t would be a
manifest illusion to expect that ma
tion of the most heterogeneous ele-
ments, like ours, could ever be or
could ever remain united upon essen
tials without the fullest liberty in nom
essentials. The patriot, the lover of
his country, in order to be true to the
name, must not only know how to die
for that union, but also for his free
dom. OF such intelligent patriots we
shall always stand in need. We have
found them in you, and through your
example and influence we hope
for them in our rising generation.
Strew then, the graves Of your brave
comrades with flowers, and bedeck
them with the choicest garlands. The
garlands will fade, and the flowers
will wither, but the beauty and frag-
rance of the heOric deeds that are COM
memorated today will ever remain
fresh in the memory. Brave sons will
sing the praises of valiant sires, and
upon the silent graves of those valiant
sires shall break the echo of the
solemn vow: You have not fought
and bled in vain; your work and your
name are immortal; the land of your
love, you bequest to US, is and ever
shall be the land of the free and the
home of the brave.

A Tried Remedy for Billiousness.

Those who suffer from disorder or
inaction of the liver will never get the
upper hand of the unruly organ Sc
long as they use such irritable reme-
dies as blue pill, calomel and popohyl-
lin. But from the tried and popular
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bltters,
they may expect relief with certain
ty of obtaining it. The influence of the
Bitters upon the great hillary gland
is direct, powerful and speedily felt.
The relief afforded is not spasmodic,
but complete and permanent. The
sallowness Of the skin, furred appear
ance of the tongue, indigestion, cos
tiveness, headache, nausea, pain
through the right side and shoulder,
in fact every accompaniment Of the
obstinate complaint are entirely and
promptly removed by course of this
inestimable medicine, In behalf o1
which testimony is constantly eman.
ating from every quarter, and from al
classes of society.

Stood the Test.

Allcock's Porous Plasters are unapproaahable
in curative properties rapldity and safety of
action and are the only reliable plasters ever
produced. They have successfully stood the
test Of over 80 years use by the public; their
irtues have rever been equaled by the un
.erupulous imitators who have sought to trade
upon the reputation Of Allcocks by making
plasters with holesn them and claiming them
to be 'Just as good as Allcock's," and they stand
today indorsed not only by the highest medical
authorities but by millions of grateful patients
who have proved tnelr efficacy as household
remedy.
Beward of limitations and do not be deceived
by misrepre ,entation. Ask for Allcock's and
let no solicitation or explanation induce ou to
accept substitute.

THE FINANCIAL FURRY.
THE ILLINOIS SAFE.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Between 1900
and 1900 people formed in line today
at the Illinois Trust and Savings bank
to withdraw their deposits. Although
the bank had remained open till long
after midnight last night paying It
on demand, the crowd at the oank
this morning was several times larger
than any time yesterday or last night.
At the other savings banks the run
which began yesterday seemed to
have increased in proper ion today.
At the Illinois Trust and Savings
bank last night the last depositor in
line got his money at 8 a. m. Then
the bank closed until 10 o'clock this
morning. The stockholders are esti-
mated as being worth $150,000 900.
The bank has not called for loan in
nine years. l.. Y. Letter, who is one

estate enough to pay all these claims
and it is at the, service of the bank.
Every person who has dollar here

An Historical Vehicle.

One OF the attractions at an industrial
exhibition recently held In Metz was the
chaise in which Napoleon travelled from
Paris to Moscow In 1872. 1t was bequeathed
to Baron de Hunolstein, who sold it to a
man In Metz upon the condition that it
should never be considered as an article OF
commerce. The purchaser. in fact, bound
himself In writing to destroy the vehicle if
he should not wish to preserve Ii. 1t at
traeted great attention at Metz and its
owner received several very advantageous
offers from persons who wished to possess
it. One OF these he was on the point of ac-
cepting when the heirs of Baron HunoIstein
inIerfered and insisted that the contract
must be lived up to. The owner was so
angered at losing this chance to make a nice
sum OF money that be threatened to fulfill
the contract, not by preserving the historic
chaises but by chopping it into kindlipg-
wood.
