George W. Hervey. editor of the
Weekly Omaha World Herald, is q
perfect picture of health, and looks
more like the Hervey of other days.
TO see him now, one can hardly be-
lieve that he has been such q
great sufferer. He writes of his
failing health and recovery, in his
Characteristic way as follows:
For several years l was troubled
with indigestion so severe as TO
make It impossible to take more than
two meals day without intense suf-
fering. I grew worse gradually IN
til July, 1895, I was suddenly at
tackled with increased pain and sore
ness over the pit Of my stomach and
sharp pains In my right side. which
rapidly increased until I could
scarcely get my breath. A physician
vas called for immediate relief and
hypodermic iujec ions Of NOR
pbine we're rescrted to for re-
lief. l was able to be out in
about a week, but had a second
attack the following August, more
intense than before. l was reduced
from 1856 to 1874 pounds in nine days
and left wholly unable to take any
nourishment. l lived on lime water
ard q very little milk for several
days after. For one year carried
morphine pellets in my pockets for
an emergency. All this time my
stomach was sore and very sensitive.
I discovered that what would agree
with my stomach this week would
probably not next week, and that
was getting nearer ard nearer to o
final collapse. l consulted three Of
the best physicians in the state and
two agreed fully ~ to my ailment,
but failed to give me relief. Having
utterly failed to obtain relief,
finally made arrangements to 60 te
Chicago to be treated, when my little
boy CHANGED to get sample package

he brought to me. was in

tant principles of hygiene and health is
the acknowledged necessity Of good
Spring Medicine.
Just as firmly established by the ex-
periences Of millions of. people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is "far and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine ever produced.
The necessity is found in the inn
pure condition Of the blood at this
season, owing to the close confine-
ment and breathing vitiatcd air in Of
flee, store, shop, house, schoolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery Of life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies, vital
lies and enriches the blood, builds mp
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils mp the machinery
Of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes out Of the back,
the bowels are regulated, the appetite
restored. the food is relislled and as

Don't wait till you are thoroughly
sick before You begin to take Spring
Medicine.

Take Hoods Sarsaparilla now as q

tive woman is her womanliness.
Everybody admires womanly

lose the brightness Of her eyes. the
fullness of her cheeks and her vivac-

is strong and perfect in. . sexual way,
as well as in every other. That she
is capable Of performing perfectly
the duties Of maternity. Some are

A prominent Iowa editor who had visited Washington in the interest of candidate for postmaster in his city recently returned home and published the following statement Of what he gathered frcm Postmaster General Gary as being the policy of the admin istration in filling such offices; All postmasters now in office will be per mitted to serve out their terms; but where in the closing weeks of the Cleveland administration post master resigned to have appointed in bis stead a relative or partner, in order to keep in the family or firm the emoluments of the office four years longer, the date of tLe commission of the fellow who resigned will be counted as the beginning of the term, and when four years from that date have elapsed new appointment will be made. No postmaster will be re- moved before his term of four years has elapsed, except for cause, and offensive partisanship shall not be counted cause. Where during the present incumbency an office has been raised in class the .erm of four years shall run from the date of the more recent commission. If the foregoing be straight goods" Postmaster Wylie may be considered to hold "lead pipe cinchH upon the Nogales post office until sometime in the twentieth centnrY.

TIE senate committee will strike out of the pending tariff bill the re- trolctiyc clause by which the new duties levied in the bill were to be collected on all imports since the first of April. The provision is of doubt. ful validity, and would probably be overturned by the supreme court. But the rush of importations in bond should be stopped A joint resolu- tion suspending the bonding privilege for period of sixty or ninety days would effect all desired by the retro active provision in the act and would not be open to the charge of Invalid ity. Such a resolution could be put through both houses and receive the executive sanction within two days. It wold prevent bonded warehouses filling with foreign goods t. be wi h. drawn after the enactment of the law at the present rate of duty.

ANCIENT HISTORY
rhe rirst Naval Combat in the Gulf o6
 California

AAlholtttt
 The English buccaneer, Thomas Cavendish, arrived at Aiazatlan in September, l5s6, with two we'll armed ships, and there took on provisions preparatory to embarkiug for tue is- lands of Venados, his arrival being observed by detachment Of Spanish soldiers from the village Of San Sc- bastian, in the Province of Chamctla, Cayendish then cruised along the gulf to Aguada de Segura. afterwards called Puerto del Cabo, in tho neigh. horhood of Cape San Lucas. and there on the 4th of November he caught sight of ship belonging to the king of Spain and from Manila This luck less vessel, called the santa Ana,' under the command of Tomas de AL zola, was laden with rich silks and other merchandise from tho East h. dies and also carried Sl2l, ,000 in gold. After brave and bloody conflict, the Spaniards found themselves compelled to surrender. The pirate lowed his prize to the bay of La Paz and there despoiled it of all its treasures. The DO sailors who survived the conflict were abandoned on the coast. and the captured ship was burned. The hull of the vessel, however did not burn aud the hardy Spanish sailors who were abandoned on the coast rigged it up as soon as Cayendish was out of sight and navigated it safety to Acapulco.
 Cayendish returned to Plymouth, England, Sept 9, 1888. with his plum der, having gone around the globe in two years and fifty days. When he reached home it is said that his seamen were clothed in silk, his sails were of q mask, and his topmast was covered with cloth of gold. Within three years he wasted his wealth, and was under the necessity of making another voyage, which was disastrous. his crew rebelling after leaving thestraits of Magellan and compelling him to return to England. This sodispiritcd him that he died on the voyage Il Two Republics.

IT IS reported in Washington that the senate finance committee will so modify the agricultural schedule in the pending tariff bill that while Ca nadian cattle will pay such a rate Of duty as they can stand, Importation of Mexican cattle shall not be prohibited. To that end the specific duty shall be g n per head on ali cattle valued st not less than ten dollars until the valuation shall reach point where twenty per cent shall exceed S2.50. Above that valuation the ad yalorem duty shall apply. Such modification would admit Mexican cattle at about the same duty they arc now paying, and would carry the duty on Canadian cattle up to the rate levied by the Mckinley act.
