other speakers who have been
invited along with Col. Watson
are Justice David J. Brewer, Of
the United States Supreme Court
and President Randolph of Chas-

The Society made no mistake
in inviting Col Watson and while
his intelligence and ability

Saluda is proud of the honor her

honored.-Saluda Advocate.

Wisconsin at Omaha.

The Wisconsin state building at the
trans-Mississippi and international
exposition, to be held at Omaha
from June l to November /. 1898,
will be constructed with funds raised
entirely by private subscription and
will cost from $4,000 to $4,000,
including maintenance. The raising
of the state building fund, and the
general stimulation of interest on the
part of Wisconsin people in the great
Mississippi exposition, has
been undertaken by state COM
mission appointed by Governor SEQ.
field, of which ex-Mayor John C.
Koch, of Milwaukee, is chairman.
The business men and manufacturers
Of the city of Milwaukee have al
ready contributed one-haif of the
amount necessary to erect and main
tain the state building. Several
county boards have madecounty ap-
preparations for this purpose.
Alphabetically the Wisconsin build
ing is a pleasing type of the classic
style. The architrave OF the pediment
supported by four immense, huted
Corlnthlan columns, forms the en-
trance OF the e1ihce. The angles of
the building are thanked on both sides
by piasters OF the Corinthian order,
which on the sidewalks are doubled,
with about eight feet of wall space
between. Just beneath the cornice
and extending along he wall between
the inner pilasters with d depth of
five or six feet, will be a frescoed
frieze picturing some Of the more i'm
portant features OF WlscOnsin's his
tory. Almost the entire interior is
embraced in one large space, open in
its center to the roof, and lighted
through low dome. An aquarium
with its grottO fountain, will occupy
the center of the main floor space.
The state commission will make an
effort to secure a complete representa-
ton OF the varied Wisconsin indus

New Baking Powder Law.

In view of the new baking powder
law, which takes effect January 1, an
advertisement published in our col
umns to-day is worth looking up and
reading. Itcontains series ofreports
from the present or late state analysis
of Wisconsin and every neighboring
state, showing that the well-known
and popular Royal Baking Powder is
not only a pure cream of tartar pow
der free from alum and every form of
adulteration, but superior to all others
in leavening strength and therefore
the best for every use. To receive
such an official recognition the merits
of the Royal must indeed be eminent.
Consumers of baking powder will be
glad to receive this timely advice upon
a matter of such general Importance.

BlumenfeId's Good Pull.

In commenting upon the pOlitica
situation in Wisconsin as far as it
relates to the disposal of the leading
federal jobs, the Washington CORE
spon1ent of The Milwaukee Sentinel
says:
Looking over to the Western dis
trict of the sta je, there is much spec
ulation as to who will fill the federal
offices when they are ready to drop.
1t Is said that the appointment of
collect or OF internal revenue to sue
coed III. -Blumenfeld, of Watertown, is
overdue, but the exact date is not
known. Mr.. Blumenfeld is a gold
Democrat Of the most pronounced
stamp. His work in behalf Of the
gold standard cause IN Dodge and
Jefferson counties has been commend
ed by the leading Republicans of the
state, and it is evident that there is
no disposition to make haste to get
him out Of office. Indeed, it has
been the policy of the administration.
in which course doubtless the ap-
pointing and recommending powers
throughout the country have been
enlisted, to show the gratitude that
is felt for the stalwart gold Democrats
who battled against the silver heresy,
by permitting them to hold out their
full terms in office, and sometimes
longer. Such has been the course Of
the president in the cases of Comp
troller Eckels and Commissioner of
Internal Revenue Forman. Hence it
is reasonable to suppose that Mr..
Blunenfeld will not be asked to step
down and out for the present. The
leading candidate for the place is said
to be Editor James Monaghan, Of
Darlington, although list of candi-
dates could probably be furnished
from every county in the district if
there was a chance for open entries.
AS to the other federal appointments
in the Western district, they will not
be due for several months, and the
gossip concerning them throws little
light upon what the results will be.

pressed approval of the plans The
dimensions of the prison will be $40
by $50 feet. 1t will be fire proof, and
probably built of granite and brick.
The arrangement of the cell rooms
will be somewhat similar to the state
prison, though there will be many
modern improvements. The build
ing will be surrounded by high stone
wall.

There are three periods in all life-the
time of the bud, of the flower and of the
perfect fruit. It is thus that girlhood
energies into womanhood and wonanhood
into motherhood. Almost all of the ills
from which women suffer have their incep-
ton in weakness and disease of the femi-
nine organism, which bears the burdens of
wltehOod and motherhood. These disor-
ders usually begin with puberty, childbirth
or with the turn of life" Thousands of
women suffer silently for years in this way,
rather than undergo the examinations and
local treatment insisted upon by the major
1ty of physicians This is unnecessary.
An eminent and skillful specialist, Dr.
R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y, long
since discovered a wonderful medicine
that will cure all troubles of this nature
in the privacy of the home. This medi-
cine is known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t acts directly on the delicate
and important organs that make wifehood
and motherhood possible 1t makes them
strong, healthy and vigorous. It allays in
Illumination, heals liberation, soothes pain
and tones up the nerves. 1t banishes the
indispositions of the period of impending
maternity, and makes baby's advent easy
and almost painless. 1t transforms weak
s1ckly, nervous invalids into happy, healthy
wives and mothers. All good medicine
dealers sell it, and no honest dealer will
urge substitute upon you.

on this and the bottom OF the shallow
hole is all in pay ore, and it is be-
lieved that the ledge is about eight
feet wide.
The company is now talking of pip
ing water from the Bennett springs,
half mile distant, to the mine, and
this will probably be done at an early
date, and when this is done, it is be-
lieved that the directors viii begin TO

1t is understood that the people of
Beaver are feeling good over the dis
coVery of such a promising gold prop
erty within such a short distance from
that place, and that in consequence
mining in that locality will be given
quite an impetus.
Mr.. Miles states that at the present

in the south over reported gold dis

Cove, in Willard county, and that a
fine ledge of free milling ore has been
uncovered there.
