Prospective mothers should know that
DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a sci
entiic medicine, which gives perfect health
and strength to the special organs con-
cerned in motherhood.
Taken early during the expectant time, il
makes the coming of baby entirely safe and
nearly painless. 1t insures cheerfulness
and Tecuperative energy to the mother and
constitutional vigor to the child.
II is the only perfect and positive specific
for all weaknesses and diseases of the femi-
nine organism.

The populists are rapidly growing
tired of their alliances with the Dem
ocrats. Senator Allen, in a recent
speech in the Senate, berated the Dem
ocratic party on the unwillingness of
its members to stand in line on any
subject, whether it be free coinage
OF free trade. He was moved es-
pecially to this by the fact that
large number of Democrats in
the Senate have recently voted for pro-
lection.

TEA COMING IN BY THE TON.-MOre
tea is now afoat on the Pacific Ocean
than ever before at one time. The i'm
porters of New York and other Eastern
cities have made large purchases in
China and Japan for immediate de-
livery, and are having it hurried across
the Pacific in order to enter it before
the Dingley bill goes into effect. A
thousand tons of new crop tea has been
landed and 12,OOO,O 200 pounds are on
the ocean between Yokohama and New
York.

When the Lord made man. he create

When the Lord made man, he created
him the noblest specimen of his handi-
work. He gave hin dominion over
every living thing, but, strange to say,
he was one of the first to transgress
and has kept up the record ever
since. Last week one of the specimens
tried to blow up the house of Mrs.
Mary Walker, at Odenmeldertown, Pa.
because they had quarrel, and this is
the matter in which he undertook to
get even with her. Mrs. Walker, who
is a widow, and her children who oc.
cupy the house, were badly stunned by
the explosion. The brute has been
jailed and will be given a trial by his
fellow cOuntrymen.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune: II
was well known to the State Depart
ment at Washington that the Govern
ment of Hawaii had very properly deter,
mined never to premit the islands to fall
into the possession of an Asiatic power
and that Great Britian had been asked
some weeks ago to annex the repub
lie in case the United States refused
to act. Confronted by that situation
this country, had no alternative. L
was a case of now or never.

Debs has become blatant and talks
of an army of three hundred thousands
men who are to combat the civil and
military forces of the nation. Debs
has talked before, and the notoriety he
is now getting he may consider com
pensation for the way the courts sat
upon him. Just how he is to gather
his socialistic forces in w ashington is
not yet made clear. But the nation is
not trembling because Debs bleats.

The tramp who refused a reward for
saving two children from burning tc
death by saying: "Poor as 1 am,
would never accept a reward for saving
cLild's life," is a true gentleman at
heart, however ragged and dirty ht
may be OF the outside. With true
mOdesty he disappeared after his deed
of herOism without leaving his name
This all happened at Fox Conners, N

Whenever a gentleman approaches
us aud in a whisper asks, "What will
the harvest be?," we hardly know
exactly how to answer him. If he
would just preface his inquiry with an
explanation as to whether he had ref
erence to the harvest of wheat we could
answer with more satisfaction. Both
harvests will probably be complete.

Col. Gordon Cut Down when tho spaniards
Learned His Nationality.
HAVANA, via Key West, July l3.-Col. Charles
Gordon, a well-known American, who served in
the Cuban Army and was In high favor with
Gen. Gomez on account of his intelligence ard
bravery, has been assassinatcd by the Spaniards
in the same manner that Charles GOWN was
murdured last year in the province of Havana.
Gown and Gordon landed together in Cuba In
the Same expedition early in 1896.
A few days age Gordon accompanied q band Of
Cubans who were sent under Col. Aulct to at-
tack the town Of Ciego Montero. near the city Of
CienfueRos.
A bravo Cuban officer and an intimate friend
of Gordon, Gustavo Menocal. was also one OF tho
party. As soon as the attack began the Spanish
guerrillas of Cartagena, 200 strong. commanded
by Major Braulio Coteron, arrived and over
powered tho Insurgents.
MenoCal anu Arlet succeeded IN making their
escape. Menocal was pursued to the Damuji
River, which he crossed and arrived safely ut q
strong Cuban camp. But Gordon, surrounded
by 100 Spaniards, surrendered, and gave his
name and nationality.
When Braulio Coteron learned that the pris-
oner was an American he said to his men: "Rill
him Immediately. II We let him go to Havana
Ice will claim him."
Gordon was hacked to pieces with machetes,
and two other prisoners were also slain.
