F Consumption is no
 respecter of persons. The germs of this most dreadful of diseases float in the air we breathe, ill the water we drink, in the money we handle. Perfectly harmless in healthy body, they are absolutely deadly wherever weakness exists. The lungs are the most sensitive of all the vital organs. The delicate lining of the lung cells and passages is easily iIritated. If the blood is impure and ger1nful the lung lining soon becomes infained. IIn- pure matter accunulates. If consunp- ton germ is in the body it lodges there and pYopagates. Soon the entire body !, is full of bacilli and consumption has firm hold.
 Many doctors say that consumption is incurable and necessarily fatal. 7hep are Wiskaken. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery will cure o8 per cent. of all cases of consumption, if taken prompt ly according to directions. It has cured thousands. It is quickly absorbed by the blood and searches out every disease germ in the body. It assists nature to throw of germs and all efiete matter and restores the body to perfect health and strength.
 When the bowels are clogged they unload their impurities into the blood which i'll turn deposits then. throughout the entire system. Tie victim of this condition suffers frorl headaches, blurred vision, heartburn, sour stomach, foul taste i; the trouth, hatulence and biiicusEess. Doctor Percc's Pleasant Pellets promptly cure coristt- patton aud these attendant ills. One is a gentle laxative. They never gripe. Druggists eeu them. Substitutes are dangerous.

BETTER THAN SHOTGUNS
WATER TUNED on A SPECIAL
TRAINLOAD OF ROCK ISLANDERS,
who Had Descended ON Fulton, ILL.,,
der of Modern WOodmen.

FULTON. ILL.,. Feb. ia sensational en-
counter resulted to-day from decision by
the Appellate Court in the injunction case
TO the removal of the office of the head
clerk of the Modern Woodmen of America
from this place to Rock Island, ILL.,, the
court deciding adversely to Fulton. Before
daylight to-day a mob of over sixty Rock
Islanders with Mayor Knox, w. j. Egan,
John Rinck and others arrived on special
train and went direct to the Woodmen
office, seized the records and started to
board the train for Rock Island. Citizens
discovered it and demonstrated without
avail. The visitors also disregarded the
police Then the fire department turned
out, closed the rear entrance to the build
ing with a stream of water and locked the
front entrance, trapping the Rock Island
ers. The latter broke the door down, but
the firemen drove them back. They were
prisoners for two hours and were finally
forced to restore the records to the build
ing. Meanwhile an injunction had been
secured and the train was held The UNI
welcome visitors were at length allowed TO
depart crsetfallen. The board of directors
of the Woodmen are in session here, ana,
it is alleged, with the head clerk, are i'm
plicated in the affair. Several hand-to-
hand encounters occurred. Fulton will APP
peal the case to the Supreme Court and
will fight to the end. The entire town and
vicinity is in a wild state of excitement A
receivership may be asked for the whole
order. The Rock Islanders train consisted
of two coaches and four freight cars.
Those aboard were equipped with baskets,
and many of the men were armed.

TOO MUCH "MOONSHINING."
Honest DistilIers Want the whisky
Tax Cut to 20 Cents N Gallon.

CINCINNATI. Feb. 16-There was a ma
tional convention of dstillers here this aft
ernoon, twenty States being represented in
the large attendance. j. Walter Freiberg
presided and George +. Bierterle was sec
rotary. There was general discussion on
the reduction of the whisky tax and the
bonded period. No action was taken on the
latter question, but it was decided to work
for reduction of the tax. A resolution
was adopted petitioning Congress to safe
guard the honest distiller by putting the
tax at 20 cents, which will produce the
greatest revenue TO the government with
the least incentive to Illicit distilling.'
Among the facts developed at the meet
ing was that during the fiscal year of 1893.
when the tax was so cents per gallon, the
number of Illicit stills seized by the gov
eminent officers SO6, while Tor the MS
cal year of 1856 the number seized was ,yOo,
more than double the previous number,
while prior TO 1879, when the lO-cent TAX
was enforced, the number OF Illicit StlllS
seized was insignificant. These were prin-
cipally unregistered stills, but by far the
greatest frauds perpetrated on the govern
ment in distillation are by the stills With
a license capacity of two TO ten bushels on
which they pay tax, but the actual mash is
from five to twenty-five bushels. Illicit
whisky seized by the government has been
offered ut public sales and no bid of the
bare tax could be obtained thereon, indi-
eating that TIE people in no section could
purchase whisky for less than the tax. 1t
was further shown that with the present
population of II 600 00G. based upon the av-
erage amount of tax collected per capita,
a 70-cent tax would realize to-day So, 100000,
which is a larger sum than has been col
lected from any internal revenue tax in
this country.
