never know what may save a man who
seems to be as good as dead.
Many a man who seemed to be dying of
consumption, and whom the doctors pro-
nounced just as good as dead, has got well
and strong and hearty again by using Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This
wonderful medicine has shown the doctors
that consumption isn't always fatal dis
ease 1t can be cured If you get at the
gefma Of Il In the blood and clear them ont
the1oughly That is what this Discovery"
does. It makes new blood, healthy blood.
The germs of consumption can't exist h
healthy blood. They simply let go their
hold and are carried out of the system !;
then the new blood builds up new tissue,
new flesh, new power, new life. 1t carries
vitality to the lungs, the bronchial tubes and
every other part Of the body.
It cures people after cod liver oil has
failed, because their digestive organs are
too weak to digest fat foods. The Discov-
cry" makes the digestion strong
For thin and pale and emaciated people
there is no fesh-builder in the world to
compare with it. 1t doesn't make fabby
fat, but hard, healthy flesh. 1t builds nerve
power and force and endurance. 1t is never
safe to pronounce any one dying of con-
sumption" or any other wasting disease,
until this marvellous Discovery" has been
given fair trial

The State Supreme Court Holds That
They Are Not.
The Oregon Legislature Still Unable
to Reach an Agreement on the Or
ganiZation of the ffouse-Eforts TO
Secure Quorum on Joint Ballot to
Vote for Senator Fail.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 3.-The con-
troversy which has existed in this State
for some time past as to whether the
stock of national banks is assessapIe
for purposes of State taxation was de-
termined by a decision handed down
to-day by the Supreme Court, through
the Commissioners, to the effect that
such shares of stock in national banks
are exempt from State taxation.
The decision is of much interest, as
there are three national banks in this
city and one in nearly every county OF
the State, while their capital stock is
widely distributed.
The decision is the result of suit
brought in Modesto to deter the Tax
Collector of Stanislaus County from col
lecting taxes levied on shares of the
First National Bank of Modesto, which
has a paid up capital stock Of 500 o0o.
The Superior Court decided in the Tax
Collectors favor. The Supreme Court
reverses the judgment of the lower
court. upon the ground that the cap
ital stock of national banks is not sub
iect to State taxation, for Section 36uS
of the Political Code expressly 50 states,
and that section was held constitutional
in the case Of the People. ex rel. Burke,
VS.. Badlam. A ssessor (31 Cal. J9D. This
section and the decision hold that the
property Of the corporation is assessed
to the corporation, and an assessment
of the shares of stock would be double
taxation. Judgment is ordered entered

AFFAIRS IN SOUTH AFRICA
President Kruger Disapproves Utter
anCes of Joseph Chamberlain.

PRETORIA South Africa, Feb. B
President Kruger was interviewed to-
day on the subject of the speech of
Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State
for the Colonies, in the House of Com
mons on Friday, during which Mr..
Chamberlain said, among other things,
that there had been a revival of unrest
in South Africa; that recent legisIa-
ton of the Transvaal Republic was
partly contrary to the convention of
London, and that President Kruger had
not kept his promise to give full and
favorable consideration of the griev-
ances of the Uitlanders.
President Kruger is quoted as saving:
Il strongly disapprove of intermixing
the so-called Uitlanders' grievances with
the Chartered Companys freebooting in
vasion of the Transvaal. The latter ad-
mits OF no embarrassing and no local
causes justified such a criminal raid. I
have always used and am still using nv
influence to diminish race hatred. but
recent utterances on the other side are
adding fuel to the fire.

Joseph McKenna was this morning
shown a dispatch from Canton by the
Associated Press representative, the
dispatch stating that II was positively
known that Mckinley had rendered him
a Cabinet place."
McKenna was asked, Have you ac-
cepted?"
In reply McKenna said he did not
doubt the correctness of the statement
attributed 10 Mckinley. except as far
as it was said that he (McKenna) would
be appointed to succeed Justice Field
on the United States Supreme Bench.
Judge McKenna added however, tina.
as yet the direct offer for the specific
Cabinet place had not been made to
him by Major Mckinley. and until such

The first intimation must come from
the President-elect to me- he said.
On the other hand ii is known among
the friends of the McKenna family that
they expect TO reside permanently in

that it is not yet decided which Of two
