Crash goes the tree before the blast! It had w.thstood the storms of many years, and was supposed to be good for many more; but dry-rot had eaten out its core, and little was left save the bark. So men in their prime often suddenly drop the burdens of life, and friends are plunged into grief. What was the mysterious cause? It is easy to say heart failure; but how much was due to the condition of the blood, the doctors seldom declare Im- pure blood cannot but result from the mode of living with so many in this busy age. The signs of depraved blood being neglected, every organ, and especially the heart, becomes in jurious,y affected. There are only two courses to adopt; first, avoid the style of living which vitiates the circulation; secondly, when symptoms of blood inn purity show themselves, begin without delay, course of Ayers Sarsaparilla, the only blood purifier that can be re lied upon to cleanse and invigorate the system; the only one adjudged worthy of exhibition at the Chicago Worlds Fair.

THE STATEHOOD BILLS They Are Considered in
 Committee.
A Warm Session But No Vote
 Is Taken.
Mainly Hinge on the Probable Addition to the
 Silver Strength.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Today's meeting of the house committee on ter ritories was devoted to discussion of the Arizona and New Mexico state hood bills. No vote was taken.
 Delegates Murphy and Catron as- sented that the opponents of statehood were doing their talking merely as filibustering move. Consequently the meeting was rather a warm one.
 The two delegates vainly tried to induce the committee to vote and re- fused to be drawn into the debate, al- though the opponents of statehood asked them many questions. To pre- vent the consumption of time the del egates declined to answer most of the questions, taking the ground that the matter had been thoroughly discussed already.
 The only test vote was that upon the consideration of the bills, which was carried six to five. Those voting for consideration were: Perkins, Repub- Jean of Iowa; Lefevre, Republican of New York; 0. Avery, Republican of Michigan; Harris, Republican of Ohio; :; Turner, Democrat of Virginia; and Cooper, Democrat of Texas. Those aganst were Knox, Republican of Mas sachusetts; Taft, Republican of Ohio; :; Lowe, Republican Of New York; liar rison, Democrat of .ewa; Owens, Dem ocrat of Kentucky.
 Taft, during the discussion, declared that congress could not blind his eyes to the fact that the admission of these two territories would add four votes for free silver to the senate. He ar gued that it was not fair that existing statutes should be changed in the midst of a great controversy like the financial question, and that the ques- tion should be settled by the Union as it now stands. He also charged that 25 per cent of the inhabitants of Ari- zona and 33 per cent of New Mexico are illiterate.
 Senator Owens of Kentucky said the territories whose area was greater than that of New England and whose population was less than that required for a congressional district, were unfit for statehood He also attacked the system of representation proposed for the constitutional convention in Ari- z0na as partisan one, devised to fur ther Republican interests.
 Senator Avery held that the only questions to be considered were the qualifications of the territory for state hood
 Senator Harris argued that the sil- yer question should not be brought into he controversy.

A RANCH ACCIDENT.

Jesus Ruiz, living on the Herrera
ranch, near the Medina, on the Som
erset road, had an accident Tuesday
afternoon that might have proven
more serious than it did.
He was riding a wild horse around
the ranch when the animal began
pitching. A rope which Ruiz held in
his hand became wrapped around -four
of his fingers and in some way was
caught around the animals foot, be-
ing drawn so tight as to completely
cut the fingers off his hand.
When Ruiz lost his fingers he at
once fell of the horse and was pick
ed up unconscious and taken to the
house, when medical assistance from
San Antonio was summoned.
County Physician Berrey responded
and dressed the unfortunate mans in

Fresh air and plenty of pleasurable ex-
ercise are good for a woman. But I'M
fortunately all women are not rich. Most
women have work to do-duties to per-
form; duties that sometimes, wrongly,
seem more important than her health.
Nine women in ten have some trouble
peculiar to their sex because they are
careless, because they have inherited
weakness, because they neglect little
symptoms that grow into health-wreck
ing disorders.
Over 80 years ago DR.. R. v. Pierce, of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. ", saw the need of some
simple, effective, and certain cure for so
called "female complaint" He was
then, as now, specialist in the diseases
of women, and the result of his study and
experiments was the marvelously effec-
tive remedy known all over the civilized
world as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. It cures where doctors have failed.
1t cures where medicines have been use
less. 1t cures in perfectly natural way
by purifying and Strengthening the or
gans involved. Its cure is permanent.
It leaves the whole body in better con-
dition than it ever was. 1t cures without
the local examinations and treatment so
abhorrent to every modest woman.
when the blood is impure any form of sickness

THAT same night a juggler who was
one Of the Khan's slaves made his

Come and show us some of your
marvels.' Upon this he took wood

he came down himself, all putting

ELECTRICITY FOR HEATING.
1t May be Used For Cooking and at
the Same Time Give Light.

1t May be Used For Cooking and at
the Same Time Give Light.
Electric lighting, heating and cook
ing may be illustrated in a very sim
pie way. 1t you get poker in hot
fire, the heat-motion of the fire will
start the iron particles into heat-mo-
ton and make the poker hot At first
it remains black, although even then
it gives out heat; presently, in very
hot fire, it becomes white-hot. and
gives off so much light as well as
heat that you can read by it in the
dark; if it gets still hotter it will melt
But il the poker is hollow tube and
has water in it, the heat will be con-
Quoted through the iron into the wa
ter and the water will boil. Or, if the
hollow iron is connected with other
pipe and water passed through the
heat will be carried off by the water
flowing through without its boiling;
and if the tube is removed from the
fire, instead of being white-hot it is
only warm. Now, when electricity
flows through sufficiently large wire.
the current is conducted away with
out heating. When it flows into a
wire too small. the current heats the
wire, and unless the heat is carried
off by radiation the wire melts. If
carbon is used instead of of wire, it
becomes white-hot and we have the
electric light. In one case the heat
ing is external. from the fire without,
in the other it is internal, from the
current within-and this is chief diff
ference.
Electric heating is the simplest
thing in the world, and when electric
ity becomes cheap enough all of us
who can get it will do our cooking
and warming by it. If an Overcharge
of electricity is passed through 4
wire. the electric force is converted
into heat force. as above stated. and
the wire becomes hot IF no provis-
ion is made for carving off the heat,
the wire melts. hut nv embedding the
wire in an enamel of such n kind that
it EXPANDS inst about as the wire does
and so does not crack. the electricity
is confined to the wire.

morning there was snow on the
sheds, trees and shrubbery. There

day the sun came out clear and
warm, but towards night it turned
cool and the weather has been clear
and cool since. This Geld snap is
the earliest of its kind under the

Novem Der. This is the fourth time
that snow has been seen in this
city in thirteen years. In January

the 18th and 18th of February,

damage to the young coru, John
