sleep, appetite, and strength.
After trying many doctors, hospi-
tails, and medicines in vain, Mrs. j, ;.
DAILY, of Cambridge, Mass, had also
abandoned hope, when PWitaua was
brought to her relief. 1t gave her
strength and health, pure, rich blood,
vigorous digestion, and raised her
from the sick bed to the full vigor
of happy womanhood.
Yes, one drop Of Puritana will
bring more real relief, more real cure,
more real strength, more real nerve
force, more real power and vital
energy, moro real " lifc-is-worth-
living" than a dipperful, a bucketful,
a barrelful of so-called tones, blood
cures, nerve foods, pills, and doubtful
preparations from unknown sources,
that is the reason why Puritana is
the most economical medicine as
well as the most effective in the
world,

MATTERS AT WASHINGTON.

The house has passed a resolution for

and the opposition is falling to pieces.
The vote now stands: Mckinley 5l2,
Reed 1913. Morton Is, Quay ), Allison 30,
Bradley l6, unpledged IS. to be elected

The senate foreign relations committee
has agreed to a compromise bill for a
cable to Hawaii and Japan. The bill
authorizes the postmaster-genera TO
enter into a contract on behalf of the
United States with any company which
may lay the cable and to pay a subsidy
not exceeding 100000 per year
Colonel J. NJ. Taylor, chairman of the
committee on resolutions at the recent
Ohio State convention, who is now in
Washington. states that General Gros-
venor had received letters from five of
the New York delegation to the St.
Louis convention, not counting Bradley,
announcing their intention to support

Secretary Carlisle has sent to the SEN
ate letter calling attention to the esti-
mated deficiency of 81, l50,O 600 for defray-
ing the expenses of collecting the rev.
enue from customs for 1896. Secretary
Carlisle says that if the department is
compelled to conduct the customs bust
ness during the remainder of the fiscal
year with the SS50,0OO appropi lated by
the house of representatives, a reduction
of Sl50,000 each month will have TO be
made. This can only be done by horl-
zontal reduction of salaries and by clos
ing custom houses at ports of delivery
where the receipts do not amount to
$4,000 per annum.

ended by Delegate Crissey Of Midland
moving that the financial plank of the
Minneapolis platform of 1892 be substi-
tuted for both the majority and minority
reports on the subject. This was receiv-
ed with favor and the substitute was
amended, went through with a rush and
the silver men raised cheer over their
victory.
II. II. Holmes, the murderer, was
hanged at Philadelphia last Thursday
The drop fell at 1912. Not until half
an hour later was Holmes pronounced
dead. The fall broke his neck. Holiness
marvellous nerve never deserted him.
When on the scaffold he was probably
the coolest person in the solemn assem-
blage. In few well chosen words he
proclaimed his innocence of any murder,
including that Tor which he was con-
victed and hung. lie declared that the
only wrOng-dOing for which he could be
held responsible consisted in the death
of two women who died as the result of
criminal operations at his hands, but he
gave no names. The murder of Benia-
mir F. Pitezel, for which Herman Mud
gett, alias II. II. Holmes, was hanged,
occurred on Sunday, September 2l, 1894.
The crime was the elimination of
conspiracy between the men to defraud
the Fidelity Mutual Life association of
Philadelphia of $4,000, and the swim
die was successfully accomplished.
j. Watson Hildreth, the boy train
wrecker who was found guilty of murder
in the second degree at Rome, n. V,
Friday, was sentenced to Imprisonment
for life. Hildreth's companions, Plato
and Hibbard, pleaded guilty to man
slaughter IN the first degree, and receiv-
ed 20 year sentences on each of the two
indictments, or 40 years apiece. Hill
dreth, assisted by four boys, all of whom
were older than he, and the eldest but 10
years of age, wrecked the fast mail COM
ing east on the New York Central rail-
road at AS a. m. on Tuesday, Nov. 10,
1895. The train, which consisted of the
big mogul engine SSS, four white mail
cars and three passenger coaches, was
thrown from the track about two miles
west of Rome, n. Y. The engine and
every car left the rails. Engineer Nathan
NJ. Hagar and tramp named Robert
Bond, who was stealing a ride on one
of the mail cars, were killed instantly.
Several other persons were hurt, hut not
mortally. Hildreth was / years old and
the leader of the gang.

"I have used Puritana for torpid
liver, indigestion, and a species of
dyspepsia, and it has given me such
relief that 1 felt made over new.

She can eat anything now, but her
life was hanging in the balance, when
her stomach could not digest the
simplest food. Mrs. Belle w. Gale, of
Charlestown, Mass, tried country air

new lease of life.
Mrs. Henry w. Craigue, of Concord.

appetite, no strength, no ambition.
Her life was one constant round of
misery and suffering. Puritana gave
her an appetite and rugged strength.

mands at st. Louis caused great surprise
in some quarters here. In others, better
informed as to the plans of the silver
leaders, 1t was expected. The declara-
ton is believed to be part of plan OF
the silver men to force recognition OF
the white metal at st. Louis. Dubois
declaration is right in line with Teller's
recent ultmatum, and it is believed that
other boilers are to follow. The Demo-
cratic party has dozen senators on its
hands who are firm friends of silver, and
who are expected to fight hard at
Chicago for free coinage. 1t they do
not succeed in the convention, they too
will bolt. 1t Will take very little to
unite these silver men of both parties
on a platform which would make them
strong in the South and West, and that
this is now being planned is known to
all observant politicians. The silverites
say that the time is ripe for a third party
movement, with silver as its battle-crY,
and that these declarations from prOmi-
nent silver leaders in both parties are
preliminary to the formation of third
party. None of the prominent Demo-
cratic or Republican leaders could be in
duced to talk for publication, but one or
two admitted that silver party was
very likely to be formed after the two
great conventions were over.

other palato-tickling concoction. The
one drop of Puritana is real medicine
it cures. The dipperful is anything,
everything, and nothing, when il
comes right down to a real cure.
Puritana is the prize formula of
Prof, Dixi Crosby, who was for thirty
two years at the head of Dartmouth
Medical College. 1t strikes at the
root of % per cent. of human suffer
ing, and brings now strength, new
health, new life through the power
producer of the system. Pmitana
makes the heart right, lungs right,
liver right, blood right, kidneys right,
nerves right, and health right, because
it makes the stomach right. To any
man, woman, or child who will take
it as directed, Puritana will practi-
cally give new stomach. That is
why hundreds and thousands of
people have proved that it cures from
head to foot.

At this crisis the claim is made that
Bryan resembles Lincoln in his faith in
"the common people" This is a line of
comparison that Bryan's friends have
made a mistake in suggesting. Lincoln
realized that in the long run the mass
of the people are honest in their incli-
nations and are not to be misled for any
great length of time. The common
people know an honest dollar from .
fraudulent dollar. They know the DIFF
ference between craftsmanship and
will-o'-the-wispism. They cannot be
permanently blinded by dazzling cpl
grams of the picturesque attractions of
youth and eloquence. Common sense is
the inalienable heritage of the common

rne CONFUSION into winch ar pecunrary
transactions were thrown. The simple
and the careless were pillaged without
mercy by extortioners, whose demands
grew even more rapidly than the money
shrank. The price of the necessaries
of life, of shoes, of ale, of oatmeal, rose
fast.
"The laborer found that the bit of
metal which, when he received it, was
called shilling would hardly, when
he wanted to purchase pot of beer or
a loaf of rye bread, go as far as six
pence. Where artisans Of more than
usual intelligence were collected in
great numbers, as in the dockyards at
Chatham, they were able to make their
complaints heard and to obtain some
redress. But the ignorant and helpless
peasant was cruelty ground between
one class which would give money only
by tale and another which would take
it only by weight" His
tory of England.
