Many excuses are advanced by jurors
asking to be relieved from duty. but
the American usually SO fertile of re-
source, has been fairly outdone by an
Englishman who was endowed with a
oonscienca so very sensitive that he OBJ
jected to be sworn on the ground that
che would not be able to take sufficient
interest In the case to arrive at fair
end tust judgment" He did not pre-
tend that his mental organization was
incapable Of balancing evidence, but
merely that It was unable to form a
correct Judgment in an uninteresting
case. The force Of the excuse was ad'
mitted, and the rights Of conscience

Astoria has long felt the need OF a
pleasure resort convenient to the city,
and now that O. proposition has been
placed before the people It is not un-
reasonable to suppose that the pro-
jector will meet with encouragement.
In fact, no bona fide and reasonable
offer WAS ever rejected by our clti-
gems: and IN the past when any project
haS fallen through, 1t has been due not
20 apathy or want OF public spirit
on their part, but entirely TO the failure
Of the promoter to meet his engage
ments. Mr.. Nolfs plan, as will be OBJ
served, has bean somewhat modified,
and It ID also proposed to establish the
resort Rt Fairfield instead Of Williams
prot. The Investment should prove q
profitabls ons for shareholders, and as
Mr.. Nolf Ia willing to furnish bonds as
security for the faithful performance
Of his portion Of the contract, the peo-
pla should come forward with their
wonted spirit Of progression and lend
their moral and financial aid.

TOO OFTEN The CASE.
INrEREsrINn pRnOFS.

A young society lady, after round OF
gayety, becomes suddenly conscious of an un.
usual sensation. She has frequent attacks of
dizziness, her back aches, and she feels blue and
generally run down.
Mothers, look well to your daughtersl
Daughters, look well to yourselves
Let the first symptom denoting the ap-
proach of disease receive your instant atten-
tion. Healthy women are the hope OF the
race, and it is well.nigh criminal to neglect
anything which promises relief.
There is hopsfor all sufferers from Nervous
Diseases. Read what follows:
Mrs. Jennie c. Davis, fine artist and an
accomplished authoress, of Westheld, Wis,
had been subject to headache ever since she
could remember. So severe were her at
tacks as to cause at times temporary delirium.
All treatment had failed to relieve her, but
after using DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine
she writes: any record is to me, at least,
satisfactory. No headache, constantly in
creasing appetite, and consequent gain in
weight of two and half pounds in just one
week."
Six weeks later she writes "Have read
and sewed immoderately of late, but my
headaches do not return"
Mrs. John r. Miller, of Valparaiso, Ind,
was attacked three years ago with turn of life
in its worst form. 1t finally went to her
head and all indications were that it would
result either in insanity or softening of the
brain. Her husband thus writes: ltwonld
be impossible for me to attempt description
| Of her su6erings during all this time. She
was treated by our very best local physicians,
with but temporary benefit. She has taken
four bottles of DIR. MILES RESTORATIVE
NERvINE, and is cured. She has gained
twenty pounds in weight. l tell you, she
often blesses you for what you have done for
her."
Recollect that for the CURE Of all Ner-
vous Diseases there is no remedy which ap-
proaches DR.. Miles Restorative Nerpine. 1t is
free from dangerous drugs and opiates. Sold

CHICAGO, July Chicago is now be-
ginning to realize in a practical and
substantial way upon its investment
in the Columbian exposition. In the
period embraced within the next 100
days of the fair it is estimated that a
sum ranging from $3.50. 900, 900 to $780,
coo. 900 viii be brought to Chicago ard
left here. The estimate is based on the
assumption that between July / and
Nov. / the average number of visitors
in Chicago above normal will be 100. 600
to 125. 900. and that they will spend not
less than SO a day each while sojourn-
ing here. On that basis the amount
spent daily will aggregate $1,000, 900 to
81, 25O, 000. The city is already expert

of large sums of money. The dealers

Application has been made to District

was arrested at the Monmouth Park
ace track. charged with having passed
q worthless check. Whiteman was
traced to Chicago. where it is said he
had opened q book on the races, and
then back to Monmouth Park.
VIII Cause q Sensatiou.
The news that Whiteman had been
arrested on this charge will be a sensa-
ton in parts Of the country where he
has made his home for the last eight or
ten years. He lives in Duluth. Mimi,
and six or eight years ago was one Of
the leading young men of Minnesota.
He had wealth and fine family onnec
tions, which gave him the passport to
the best society. He is q graduate Of
presence, and something Of q
student. Seven years ago he was
elected to the Minnesota state
senate from the Duluth district
and served for four years. He was the
originator of what was known ON the
books az the "Whiteman election law"
q law which he succeeded in passing
through the legislature at his FIRST en-
trance as a senator. and which stood
on the books until the Australian ballot
system was adopted three years later.
Was q Congressional Candidate.
Whiteman's career in the senate gave
him such prominence that he was made
the Democratic candidate for congress
| from the Fifth Minnesota district three
years ago.
Since that time Whiteman has been
much in New York. He maintained his
residence in Duluth, but his business
interests were allowed to drop.
