THE TRUE REMEDY

W. NJ. Repine. editor Tiskila, Ill,
"Chief," says: 1--WE won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until We used Dr..
Kings New Discovery. No other remedy
can take its place in our home, as in il
we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, ETC." II
is idle to experiment with other RENE
dies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.

"A peculiar and important case from
Marion county was fled yesterday
In the appellate court.
The Phoenix Insurance company Of
Hartford, Conf, insured the house and
goods OF Marion Smith in March, 1894,
and ISSUED a policy for $780, Some time
In October following the house and con-
tents were burned and the
company refused 10 pay the loss. Wheth-
er suspicion attached to the burning or
not is not stated in all the case but the
company declined on the ground that a
certain clause in the policy agreement
let the obligation OUT.
The policy clause in qestion read that
the whole agreement was void il
the interest of the assured was any
thing less than absolute and ex-
elusive ownership or if the house was
upon leased ground or premises in which
the interest of the assured is not entire.
In ascertaining the cause Of the fire and
adjusting the loss it was developed that
the First National bank Of Marion,
~ dI-, ltdt d Chilli cc5d-itsoL NiaN ~ NpO-A
which the house was quilt the COM
pany took the case into court and
long fight followed, in which the COM
pany introduced evidence to show that
the conditions, though not stated, were
Numerically opposed TO the provision
of the policy contract and therefore the
whole thing was void.
In summing up the case the district
5u5ge held that the premises upon
which the MOUSE stood mad nothing 70
do with the assurance Of the house, and
since the matter was not brought cut in
the statement OF the contract the
policy was payable; that the obligation
of the company was not null by reason
of partial ownership of the premises 10y

The decision of the appellate court will
be watched with considerable interest,

VERY TAME TALK
Mr.. Dockery Surprised at the
Lack Of Animation in Tariff
Debate.
An Explanation in the Belief
That Tariff Isn't What Is
Wanted.
Mr.. NeWlands Discusses the Mat
ter From Silver Point
of View.

WASHINGTON, March 24,-There were
less than 80 members on the floor when
the house entered upon the second day
of the tariff debate at 10 o'clock. There
were only few stragglers in the gal
leries. As the day advanced the mem
bers poured in and the galleries became
crowded
Mr.. Gibson (Rep., Tenn. was the
first speaker He devoted himself to a
general argument in favor of protec.
tion.
Mr.. Dockery Dem, Mo- who fol
lowed, said it was matter of sur.
prise to him that the discussion of the
bill thus far had been tame and unin-
teresting.
''The truth is said he ''the people
of this country want more money and
less taxes" Democratic applause.
''This bill does not represent the issue
of the late campaign. The people would
prefer to see $113, 900, 900 more money
put in circulation than to see that
amount absorbed by the treasury.
Mr.. Dockery said it did not lie in the
mouths Of the Republicans to criticize
the bond issues of the last administra.
tion.
''Mr. Cleveland was criticized on this
side of the house." said he, "while you
endorsed his policy in the last con-
gress. Your committee on ways and
means refused to give the house an op-
portunity to vote on the senate resolu-
tion prohibiting bond issues, because
your leaders had been notified by so
Republicans from the West that they
would be compelled to vote for it. y
After the Wrong Monster.
Mr.. Dockery ridiculed the idea that
the present tariff law was the monster
which had destroyed our industries.
If it had done so, why, he asked had
the Republican members of the ways
and means committee lifted the metal
and cotton schedules almost bodily
from this monstrous law? He denied
that there was an era of prosperity fo1
labor during the existence of the Nc
Kinley law and instanced the Carnegie
strike.
"That catastrophe, interrupted Mr..
Dalzell, was the result of a contest
between organized labor and the op-
ponents of organized labor. The Nc
K nley law had nothing to do with it. Z
Eyes, but the protected employer
hired Pinkerton detectives to shoot
down organized labor, returned Mr..
Dockery. "A distinguished Republi.
senator, then a member of this house.
told me at the time that that was the
worst disaster the Republican party
had experienced i'll 20 years. ("
Mr.. Dockery was especially sarcastic
in his remarks on the absurdity of CIV
ing protection to agricultural products.

ported by the United States last year

BEER UNDER THE BAN.

Gigantic Boycott. Against the Chicago
Article Begun in Chicago.
CHICAGO, March 24.-War against
Chicago beer has been declared by the
Chicago Federation of Labor at its reg
ular weekly meeting. A gigantic boy
colt. in which all organized labor was
urged to unite, was launched against
the product of all breweries that are
members of the Chicago Brewers as
sociation, and will take effect April l.
Union men who wish to drink beer will
be expected to buy the product of Mil
YANKEE or St. Louis breweries, and to
refuse to oatronize any saloon supplied
by any of the 70 members of the brew
ers' combine.
Grievances Of Coopers Union, No. l,
against the local brewers precipitated
the action of the federation.
