GOES TO THE FEDERAL COURT.
The Constitutionallty OF the Dispensary
Law to be Tested.

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 1.-THE
state dispensary law is now on its way
to the United States supreme court. In
the United States circuit court yesterday
Judge Simonton, handed down a deci-
sion in the habeas corpus cases of the
master and crew of the schooner Caro-
lima, who had been arrested on a charge
Of violating the dispensary law.
Their vessel contained a cargo of
liquor brought from Savannah, Ga, to
this port, was seized by the police and
state consta bles and confiscated. Suits
were brought to transfer the case to
the federal court, and the master and
crew of the vessel were brought into
that court on habeas corpus.
In the decision which orders the re-
lease of the men from custody, Judge
Simonton expresses the opinion that
the arrest and detention of the defend
ants was against the interstate com
merce law, and that the dispensary
law is unconstitutional and indicates
that it would be best for the state and
public for the case to go to the federal
court.

1t May Do as Much for You.

Mr. Fred Miller, Of Irving, ILL.,, writes
that he had a severe kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his back
and also that his bladder was affected. He
tried many so-called kidney cures but with
out any good result. About a year ago he
began use of Electric Bitters and found
relief at once. Electric Bitters is especially
adapted to cure of all kidney and liver
troubles and often given almost instant
relief. One trial will prove our statement.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

Germany May Enter Into an Agreement
Without Regard to England.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Reports re-
ceived at the state department from
American consuls in Germany indicate
a condition of affairs which is encour-
aging to the hope of the success of a
monetary conference. Reports show
rapid development of the trade of
Germany with both China and Japan.
This development of trade in the east
is in direct rivalry with Great Britain,
and there is strong party in Germany,
representing the agrarian classes, who
hold that the use of silver would still
further advance the commercial inter
ests of Germany in the eastern coun-
tries, putting England at disadvan-
tage under her monetary system. This
information suggests the probability
that Germany may be willing to enter
into an agreement for the use of silver
without regard to the attitude of
England.
