SPRING MEDICINE

Now is the Time to Purify Your Blood.
Spring is emphatically the season when
good blood purifying medicine should be
taken.
Why?
First. the need of such medicine is more
imperative at this season than at any other.
During the winter the blood has become
loaded with impurities and robbed of its
vitality. These impurities must be expelled
and new vitality given, if good health is to
be expected through the coming season.
Second, the system is more susceptible to
the benefit to be derived from good medi-
cine at this time than at any other 1t is a
time when the body is in a debiitated con
dition because of impure and impoverished
blood, and every function will quickly
respond to the toniug up effects of good
blood purifier like Hoods Sarsaparlla.
These statements are plain and simple
facts that caa be verified by experience, and
they can readily be understood.
Tee greatest blood purifier ever produced
is Hoods Sarsaparlla.
This medicine has won its way to the
front by its actual merit, 1t has accom-
plished more genuine and permanent cures
than any other preparation that has ever
been produced by medical science. The
evidence of these cures is absolutely unim-
peachable and unapproachable. There are
thousands of people enjoying perfect health
who would still be suffering had it not been
for Hoods Sarsaparila, Other remedies
had been tried, but only Hoods Sarsaparilla
cured.
/ Itdoes all that is claimed for it. 1t effects
| the most remarkable cures of Scrofula, Salt
Rheum, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, and Other
diseases, and oyercomes that tired feeling
When you buy your Spring Medicine gel
that which has proved itself the best Insist
upon Hoods Sarsaparilla, because it is tho
one true blood purifier.

PURCHASERS Of bicycles are beginning to
find out that although the first cost Of
wheel is not a killing matter, the subsequent
needed repairs foot up an aggregate cost that
taxes the pocket very heavily especially with
such roads as we have in this vicinity. The
bicyle is constantly wearing out its pneumatic
tires, aud is very apt 10 need repairs which
require skilled workers to make, and which,
consequently, are expensive. But all such
a guments lose weight with wheelmen. There
is fascination in wheel riding that over
comes all other considerations and keeps up
at fever heat the prevalent excitement.
There is not a small boy in shenandoah
whose gaze is not longingly directed either
towards the handsome wheels exposed for
sale in the show windows, OF at those ridden
by happy owners There is not a lad of 10

THE anti-McKiulcy managers assert with
positiveness that the friends Of gold will con-
troll the convention by a large majority. Reed,
Quay, Allison and Morton have all declared
for single standard, and their followers are
making their campaign on that line. Me
Kinley, ON the other hand, has positively
refused to discuss the financial question since
his canvass began. His managers have
announced him as free silver advocate in
free silver strongholds, and as a gold bug
where none but gold delegates were to be
chosen. Prominent men assert that Me
kiniey's refusal to talk on the financial ques-
tion will ultimately defeat him for the nom
ination. The fight for the Republican presi-
dental nomination is not yet won.

Montana Republicans for silver.

BUTTE, May 1.-THE Republican state
convention met here this morning. All
the delegates arrived during the day and
night. 1t is thought that Senators Carter
and Mantle and Representative Hartmann
will be three of the six delegates to ST.
Louis. The names generally agreed on
for the other three delegates are o. f. God
dard of Billings, Alexander Metzel of
Madison county and l.. c. Phelps of Great
Falls. Some of the delega es threaten the
introduction of resolution instructing
the presidential delegates to vote for other
than the presidential nominee if silver is
not recognized in the St. Louis platform.
The convention will declare for the free
coinage of silver Independent of the action
of other countries.

Death of a Confederate Veteran.

SAVANNAH, May 1.-Captain James d.
Johnston, who died in this city Saturday
night in his 18th year, was the ranking
officer of the survivors of the Confederate
navy and the senior survivor of the United
States navy of antebellum days. He
entered the United States navy as mid
shipman in 1882 At the outbreak of the
war he was high on the list of first lieu
tenants, but cast his lot with the confed-
eracy. In 1868 he was assigned to duty
with Admiral Buchanan, on Mobile bay,
where he commanded the ironclad Ten
nessee in the famous battle with the fed
eral fleet under Farragut. Captain John
ston was imprisoned after the engagement
until the termination of the war.

Accident to a Grand Duke.

BERLIN May 1.-THE blindness Of the
Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz led
him into IA dangerous predicament while
on his way to the horse fair at New Bran
denburg AS he was being led across a
railway track his foot became caught in
the rails and it could not be extricated
The consequence was that he was forced
to remain standing for some time in the
middle of the line, over which there was
a very large traffic, owing to the horse
fair, and the trains had to be brought to
a standstill by the signal men. Traffic
was blockaded until the grand dukes foot
was finally released by its being forced out
of his boot.

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS


Again in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE probabili-
tics are that the consideration of the river
and harbor appropriation bill win be con-
cluded today. According to agreement
this bill will be followed by the resolution
to seat Mr. Dupont as IA senator from Del
aware With the Dupont resolution dis
posed of the bill making appropriations
for the District of Columbia will be CON
sidered and it probably will consume the
remainder Of the week.
Only the provision in the river and har-
Dor bill for the construction of break
water at Santa Monica, Cal, remains to
be acted upon There will be several
speeches on this question today. Senators
Berry, Vest and Perkins will oppose the
amendment, and Senator Frye, as chair
man of the committee on commerce, will
explain the committees reason for its ac-
tion. Senator White will reply briefly TO
Mr.. Frye. After this it is expected that
the vote on the amendment will be taken,
and that whatever the fate of this amend
ment the bill will be promptly passed. 1t
is not expected to remain long in confer
ence, as there is disposition manifest in
both houses to get the bill to the president
at as early date as practicable. This is
due to the fear of a veto, and to the deter
mination to remain in session long enough
to give congress time TO ACT in case of
such adverse Endorsement by the president.
The Cuban situation as presented by the
imposition of the death sentence upon the
members of the Competitor party brings
forward decidedly interesting condition,
which may result in an attempt at action
on this question by the senate during the
week. In fact, the outlook in this dtrec-
tion is full of possibilities.
The indications are that the house will
drift along for the remainder of the ses-
sion, giving conference reports on appro-
priation bills the right of way and dispos-
ing of such incidental matters as it can.
The immigration bill can hardly come up
this week, AS the chairman of the commit
tee, Mr.. BarJholdt, is at his home in St.

THE oath Of May is near at hand and
''God Save the Queen will resound around
the world with more than its usual significance
and perhaps with note of anxiety in it, for
the good Victoria, in passing her seventy
seventh milestone, marks the completion Of
a long stage Of a journey the period of whose
completion no man can fix. But this somber
reflection is persstently crowded out Of the
thoughts Of her people who, on this fes tal
day, wherever they may be, give vent 10
their gadneSs that she is yet spared to reign
byer them. The boom Of fcannon, the chime

and all the other joyful demonstrations that
cnliyen this gala day wherever Great Britain's
colors float are but tmnsitory symbols of the
deep reverence and love that bind to this
gentle sovereign her poorest and humblest
subjects. Queen Victoria is unquestionably
the best known woman in the world, and her
reign has been longer than that of any other
living sovereign. Her career has been re-
markablc in many ways, although il has been
