When Jack calls on Miss Eleanor,

When Jack calls on Miss Eleanor,
He always brings her plenty
OF flowers and chocolate bonbons, which
Most charms the maid of twenty.
And though Sir Jack has skinny arms,
And legs as thin as pheasants',
How could one blame Miss Eleanor,
Who much admires his presents?
No woman has any real admiration
for mans presence unless the man
has q good physique-legs and arms
well filled out. You can't be swell
looking" if you suffer from any of the
diseases caused by disordered liver
or impure blood-dyspepsia, bilious
ness, and scrotulous affections. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
medicine that cures these cases. It's
the only remdy that's guaranteed to
benefit or cure, in every case, or the
money refunded. Medical science
stamps it absolutely potent" as q
blood cleanser, strength-restorer, and

AN INCOME TAX.
1t Will Be Discussed By the Ways
and Means Committee Today.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The full
Democratic membership of the ways
and means committee has been called
to meet tomorrow morning in general
conference, and it is expected that the
meeting will have the effect of clear
ing up the uncertainty that has exist
ed for some time with reference to
several of the important schedules in
the new tariff bill. The members of
the committee who have been favor
ing the provision of an income tax
feel confident that the series to begin
tomorrow will prove that majority
of the committee favor such q plan.
The iron ore and coal schedules will
be discussed and the question of plac-
ing these two articles on the free list
probably be finally settled in the af-
firmative. The tobacco, beer and
whiskey schedules are also expected
to be considered in full committee
and there now appears little doubt
that there will be material increase
in the tax on whiskey and other dis
tillery outputs. The proposition of
an increase of 35 cents on gallon on
whiskey is now being informally dis
cussed, and some members of the
committee even mention an increase
as high as 60 cents per gallon. The
United Association of Brewers have
filed with the committee long argu-
ment of the members showing why
no increase should be made in the
present internal revenue tax on beer.
Aside from the discussion of an in
come tax, the committee will, it is
thought, consider several important
matters relative to the tariff measure,
which, after all, is the most vital and
important issue now before the COM
mittee, or for that matter, before the
public of the entire country, as will be
readily proven when Congress assem-
bles next month.

CHARMING PATTI ROSA.

Than Patti Rosa, perhaps no greater
favorite appears on the local stage.
She has long been popular pet OF
the theatre-going public all over the
land and numbers her personal friends
as well as public admirers by the le-
gion from New York City to San
Francisco. No other actress has
achieved wider fame or greater ap.
probation in tho entire realm of com.
edy than has this charming and mirth
provoking star of the American stage
That she was graciously received in
this city last night goes without say
ing and her appearance in the familiar
but none the less sparkling and fasci-
mating role of "Miss Dixie" was greet
ed with hearty applause. Wherever
she goes this little woman, who is
none the less woman, and very
sweet and pleasant one, because she
is an actress, wins hearts with the
same ease and facility that she wins
applause from the fashionable "dress
clrcle' and shouts of approval from
the peanut galleries. The entire
company is well selected and unusu-
ally strong this season, and each in
dividud character in the cast lends
force and effect to "Miss Dixie" the
star.

successfully exercised in making the

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelIing colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

GENUINE TARIFF REFORM.
A Measure Carrying Out This Idea,
to be Made Public Soon.


to be Made Public Soon.
1t is announced from Washington
that the new Democratic tariff reform
bill will, in all probability, be COM
pleted and made public at a much
earlier day than has heretofore been
expected or even anticipated.
The notes of apprehension which
have been sounded since the late cleo
tion warned the resolute tariff reform
ers of the party that the chances of
party success and discipline depend
upon the boldness and promptitude of
defining their policy, and all haste
consistent with deliberation is being
made by Democratic members to COM
plete the bill and give it to the coun-
try. 1t is already definitely settled
that the committee will not wait for
the approval of the caucus before pre-
senting the measure to the people.
While some Democratic members
of the committee think the bill might
be strengthened IN the House by first
gaining the approval of the party
caucus, tbe majority feel that the sub
mission of the bill to the caucus would
only lead to interminable wrangling
and possibly create party dissension,
which might seriously embarrass the
measure in consideration later in the
House. Besides, the Democratic
leaders contend the party has suffic-
lent confidence in the members of the
ways and means committee to be
quite willing to accept as satisfactory
bill prepared by them after so many
weeks of deliberation, and the report
accompanying it will be of character
strong enough to silence the most
fastidious criticism within the party.
While Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, and Mr..
Culbersol, OF Texas, and others have
openly announced their intention of
opposing the free wool schedule on
the floor of the house, they have ap-
parentIy abandoned any hope of secur-
ing a party caucus on the tariff bill
previous to its introduction.
In discussing the matter, Mr.. Cul-
berson said: 81 always maintained
the tariff bill would be first consider
ed by the Democratic caucus, and |
still think this could be done, but do
not now see how we can hope to have
1t done before it is introduced. In
the first place there was rule passed
just before adjournment which gave
The committee the right to hand the
bill to the clerk and have it printed as
introduced at any time it may desire
to do SO. No one paid much atten-
ton to that action of the House at the
time, but we now realize it gives the
committe the privilege of formally in
PRODUCING the bill even before the
regular session conveneS, the only re-
striction being that Republican mem-
bers of the committee have ten days
in which to prepare minority report.
The rule of course cuts off all hope of
having a caucus before the introduce
ton of the bill.

THE CONFESSION GENUINE.

There appears to no longer be any
doubt as to the truth and genuineness
Of the confession made by the sus-
pected train robber, Jim Williams,
from his place Of confinement in the
State penitentiary, at Little Rock. A
full statement Of this confession ap-
pears in Tuesdays issue Of the DEMO
GRAFT From more recent accounts il
also appears that the confession made
by Williams has been supplemented
by another, this latter having been
made by Arner., the acknowledged
leader Of the gang. There is no doubt
that the officials Of the Iron Mountain
have enough clues in hand to lead TO
tho arrest Of every man engaged in
the robbery.
1t is also stated, on good authority,
that Arnett was the first to break
down and unbosom himself Of his par

OMAHA (Neb.), Nov. 16.--A special to

says: One of the most horrible tragedies
known in the history of the Black Hills
occurred at noon to-day in Sawpit Gulch,
two miles west. Joseph TIA, an Italian,
was married a year ago TO his cousin,
Josio Tametta. A few months after his
wife left him and made her home at her
cousins. Tha to-day went to Tametta's
house considerably under the influence
of liquor, and shortly after shots were
heard. Nothing was thought of it, how
ever, until peddler raped at the door
and getting no reply. but hearing groans
from within, entered. Lying around the
room amid horrible confusion of broken
and scattered furniture lay Mrs. Tha,
shot through the mouth, Tametta with a
bullet in his breast, and Mrs. Tametta
with a fearful cash in her forehead, in
hicted with an ak, all still in death. In
the woodshed Tha lay gasping for breath
with bullet through his head. In the
midst Of all this bloody horror, Mrs.
Iametta's two little children were play
ing. The Coroner and Sheriff were inn
nediately notified, and in a few moments
a crowd collected. Tha lived but few
hours. and the others were undoubtedly
killed instantly.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Report of the General Executive Board
of the Order.


PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 16.-The report
of the General Executive Board of the
/ Knights of Labor is given out this morn
| ing. 1t opens with review of the year s
work and justification of the Board's s
course, as follows:
1.-The past year has been one of trial to
! organized labor. When your board has
| been appealed to and asked for their adj
vice in cases of despair, or when reduction
of wages have been proposed by employ
ers, they have felt it their duty to counsel
| cautious and conservative action even i'll
! instances where, in justice, demand fer
! increased wages or resistance OF pro-
posed reduction would have been proper
and right.
1.-The steady stream of immigration
which, in spite OF restrictive legislation,
continues to flow to the shores of this
continent, makes it comparatively easy
for employers to fill the places of striking
workmen. In addition. labor has had
| this year to reckon with the fact of a
! financial panic and with industrial de-
| preston.
1.-The cause of the panic is question
| that would be Improbable here to dis
cusS. Whether it was occasioned by the
operation of the so-called Sherman Act,
as some assert; to the uncertainty regard
Ing tariff legislation, as others maintain;
or whether it was part of deliberately
planned conspiracy, having for it's object
the doubling of the value of the world s
funded debts, through contraction of the
worlds money-Which would be inevit-
able in consequence OF the decentralization
of silver, as increasing mum bers believe
need not here be discussed
reference followed to the report of The
Secretary yTreasurer and the falling off of
Z
to falling belief in the orders principles,
but to sheer inability of members to pay
| dues.
! NO EVIDENCES OF A SETTLEMENT.
| PHILADELPHIA, Nov. l6.-The row in
the ranks of the knights of Labor was
continued with great bitterness to-day,
and tonight there were no evidences of
an amicable settlement. Bitter addresses
were made by A. w. Wright and John
DeVIin of the General Board, disclaiming
Hayes charges. Wright accused Hayes
of having a false system of bookkeeping,
and said If any unlawful expenditure
was made, it was owing to that fact. It
is estimated that Hayes has been carried
away by his enmity of Powderly to the
extent of deliberately classifying accounts
so as to mislead delegates.
Tomorrow the Executive Board, it is
said. will formally demand Hayes resig-
naIlOD. hayes, II Is SAID, VIII nave
documentary evidence to back up
charges before the General Assembly. A
strong effort is being made to save the
organization, in order to make it the
pivot in the proposed consolidation with
other labor organizations. That Pow
derly aims to be the head of the ANAL
gamated order there is no doubt. An i'm
portant question referred to the COM
mittees to-day was the amalgamation of
all labor bodies in one powerful organiza-
ton and recommending political action
by organized labor.
