THE BEST
SPRING MEDICINE

Is SIMMONS LIVER REGULAToR-don't
forget to take It. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes ehoked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma.
tlsm.t You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do It. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps It properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body inyigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is In Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver Is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it Is SIMMONS

PRAYER BROUGHT RAIN.
At Least So Think the Spa niards, Who
ImplOred St. Isidoro

Madrid, May 6.-Copious showers of rain
fell in Madrid and throughout the adjoining
provinces yesterday, 4 circumstance which
Is ascribed by the people to the beneficence
Of st. Isiioro, Madrid's patron saint, to
whom the populacc APPEALED last Monday
for rain and the suppression Of the Cuban re-
bellion.
Thousands of persons visited the cathe-
dral for the purpose of offering prayers of
thanksgiving, and were admitted to the
shrine of st. Isidoro, where their implicit
belief in the intercession of the saint in
response to their prayers was manifested by
their destroying part of his silver coffin
and carrying way the fragments for relics.
Had it not been for the Interference OF the
police, the entire coffin would have been
carried away piccemeal.

The scorcher is doomed! This fiend

every town, hamlet or city edicts are
going forth to the effect that the space
annihilators must cease their violent and
destructive eXertlons. These riders go
through Il town at a terrific rate OF speed,
and woe unto the unfortunate pedestrian
who gets i'll the way of this human thun-
derbolt. 1t is right that regulations OF
this character should he incorporated
among the statutes. To such an extrem-
ity has this craze for speed gone that
We may expect to observe the scorcher,
minus all hirsute appendage. his head
shaven clean as a billiard ball, shield
IN front of him to cut the air, and his face
and body covered with suet or some other
greasy substance, so as TO permit him

Ole resistance.
Accidents have been frequent In Brook lyn
Of late, and the ma iority OF them have been
attributed to the scorchers. The prac-
lice is fast developing into an epidemic.
Minneapolis policemen charged with the
suppression OF scorching have figured
matters down fine, and in future will allow
cyclists forty seconds in which to go a
block. A block in less time than that
Is faster than seven miles an hour, and
