When the stomach and bowels are wrong
what seems a mere trihe, blocks the
whole system. Every part of the body
feels the effects of little constipation.
The head aches, the mouth tastes bad;
the stomach is distressed, the liver is con-
gested and torpid; you feel sluggish and
miserable and down-hearted; the energies
are completely paralyzed-a11 for want of
a little help to regulate the stomach and
bowels. What you want is DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They will make you
regular and you keep SO; they act in a
comfortable natural way, not violently but
surely. They give the intestines power
to move naturally; and also tone the
stomach and liver. You don't become a
slave to their use, they cure you so you
stay cured. If druggist makes more
money on some violent purging pill he
may try to sell it to you. Don't let him

tax lists has been constantly decreasing
while real estate has as constantly been
increasing. This means either that the
tax dodgers still have no trouble in dodg-
ing, or that people are fleeing from the
state and taking their personal property
beyond the jurisdiction ofIthis law. Sena-
tor Sherman who is strongly opposed to
the law, holds the latter view.

The action of the Vermont convention
in virtually instructing the delegates to
ST. Louis to support Mr. Mckinley is a
severe disappointment to Mr.. Reeds
friends who had a right to expect that
the Green Mountain state would stand by
the rest OF New England in the support
of a candidate, the peer of any in the field
in every respect and in many the superb
or. MoKinley's success is due probably to
the accidental association of his name
with hi gh tariff measure, measure by
the way which the Vermonters did not
very heartily endorse when it was on
trial before tho country, for Vermont's
majority in the next election that fol-
lowed the passage of the Mckinley bill
was the smallest the state had given for
many years. But continued depression of
business has apparently made them en-
thusisstio admirers of tariff law toward
which they were once lukewarm, and
their method of expressing their devotion
has taken the form of supporting the man
whose name happens to be attached to it,
but who really had less to do with it's
construction than half dozen other men
who might be named.

it ought to. ANY information that he
might give on that point would be OF
very little value for he has shown himself
to be phenomenal liar as well as a phe-

accuse would be quite as likely to be in,
