PILES ARE EASILY CURED.

Nature has provided a specific for
piles. 1t is the active principle of the
common buckeye. This principle is
extracted by a special process and in
combination with other remedies
forms Tabler's Pile Ointment.
This ointment cures nothing but
piles, but 1t cures blind, bleeding pro-
tubing piles every time. 1t makes
operations needless; cures when opera
tions fail This is why physicians re-
commend It. Bottles so cents. In
special tubes for handy application,
75 cents. Can be sent by mail. Sold

THE TRUE REMEDY.

w. NJ. Repine. editor Tiskilwa, H..
Chief" says: I'VE won't keep house
without DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our
home, as in 1t we have a certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Coughs, etc." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even IL they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery. They are not
as good, because this remedy has a
record of cures and besides is guaran-
teed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial

BURGLARS AT WORK.
Three Houses Broken Into Last Thurs

Three Houses Broken Into Last Thurs
day Night.
While Dick Robitzsch was attending
the bowling games between the Turn
ers and Alamos at Turner hall Thurs
day night, some sneak thief took adj
vantage of his absence and broke into
his store at 40 Austin street. He got
$1.40 in cash, and Mr.. Robitzsch's ra-
zor. He overlooked a gold watch
which was lying near the razor. Mr..
Robitzsch sleeps in the store and left
the store window open for ventilation
while he was gone.
The saloon of George Suhr, at 432
Austin street was also burglarized that
night. Mr.. Suhr missed $2.40 in cash
from the ill yesterday morning. The
burglar forced an entrance by prying
the rear door, which opens to the yard
Of the premises.
Paul Nuhn's Turner hall bar was also
burglarized some time between Thurs
day night and yesterday morning and

are read to her, and she makes any
changes which may suggest themselves.
One popularity of the blind poetess
is that she never can think without
she is holding an open book in her
hand.
Multitudes of persons, says the Gin
cinnati Tribune, have been aroused to
better life and multitudes more have
been comforted in their time of sor-
row through the instrumentality of her
hymns. Thousands who have passed
through the Sunday school during the
last 80 years hold her in the tenderest
regard as associated with the bright
days of their childhood. She rarely
appears in any assembly without call
ing forth witnesses to her power for
GOOD, and sometimes the demonstra-
ton is dramatic. One evening she was
present at mission meeting when one
of her hymns, RESCUE the Perishing,"
was sung. A young man arose and
told the story of his wanderings; hun
CRY and penniless, he was strolling
through the streets one night when
he heard the sound of singing. He
caught the words of this hymn. Il
was just ready to perish" he said, "but
that hymn, by the grace of God, saved
me-"
Among her other well-known hymns
are: "Pass Me Not, o Gentle Saviour
"Jesus the Water of Life VIII Give, "
Strike the Harp of Zion," eve Are Go
ing to Home Beyond the Skies"
Among her secular verses, which be-
long to an earlier generation, are
"Rosalie, the Prairie Flower" The
royalty on this alone amounted to near
ly $4,000. Hazel DELL" ''Music in the
Air." and "Never Forget the Dear
Ones"

BLIND HYMNOGRAPHER.
Remarkable Mental Power of Miss
Fannie Crosby.
Can Compose a Hymn While You Wait
and Is the Author of Thousands
One of the Great Women
of the Century.

AS writer of hymns Fanny Crosby,
the blind poetess, has a reputation that
is worldwide. Her verses are sung by
Christian people everywhere, and have
been translated into almost every
tongue.
Beside her hymns. which number
about 1000, she has composed many
ballads and lyrics and written the
words for several cantatas.
Not only is she poetess and lecturer,
but philanthropist as well, for scarcely
day passes that Miss Crosby does not
end time to devote several hours to
work among the sick poor, and in this
she says she finds her greatest joy and
consolation. Her own infrmity does
not Cypress her as much as the woes
of another.
Her methods of composing are
unique; she depends neither upon
moods nor inspiration, but a hymn
written while you wait" has always
been characteristic of her work. About
80 years ago-Fanny Crosby now lacks
about three years of reaching the four
score mark-she made an agreement
with musical firm in New York to
write exclusively for its house and to
furnish three hymns weekly. These
are always on time, and always meet
with ready sale. One of her best
known hymns, Safe in the Arms of
Jesus" was written in 20 minutes. II
is said that no modern HYMN has been
more popular or translated into more
languages.
AS rule, Miss Crosby composes at
night. Afterher family has retired she
seats herself in comfortable chair and
thinks out or composes a hymn. or two
or three, as the case may be. Perhaps
by this time it is two or three o'clock
in the morning. She then retires. In
the morning she dictates the new lines
to her companion, who is amanuensis
and secretary as well. Then the verses

JAPAN WILL AReITRATe.
Hawaii's Offer Accepted by the Mikado's
Government.


Government.
Washington, July S1.-The japanese
government has accepted the offer made
by Hawaii TO arbitrate the dispute be-
tween the two countries. The state de-
partment has been informed Of the Of
fer and the acceptance The subject Of
arbitration viii include not only the
difficulty over the landing Of the Japan
ese immigrants, but also will include
other disagreements between the two
counties, the most important of which
is the sake tax. imposed upon Japan
ese liquor largely imported and con-
sumed by the Japanese in Hawaii.
When the officials OF the state depart
ment were informed of the offer and
acceptance of arbitration the secretary
of the japanese legation here was in
formed that until the annexation treaty
was concluded the United States would
not assume any authority in the mat
ter, and that the present dispute must
be considered as between Japan and
Hawaii.
The secretary in reply. said he was
glad TO learn that such was the posi-
ton of the United States. as it would
ships to Hawaii pending final action on
the arbitration treaty. This interpre-
tation of the situation rather surprised
the state deparemtn officials, who an
swered that the United States would
consider in different light an agree
ment of arbitration and the sending of
a war ship, and intimated that non-in-
reference by the United States in one
case could not be construed as passive
acceptance of the latter position. The
| Japanese secretary was told, however,
| that in the absence OF Secretary Sher-
man and Assistant Secretary Day moth
| ing could or would be said officially up
on the subject and any conversation
must be considered as wholly unofficial
The sake tax of which the Japanese
| complain is an increase of the duty
! on this liquor from Is cents to 81 per
| gallon. This tax was passed by the Ha-
waiian legislature and vetoed by Presi-
| dent Dole on the ground that 1t was
unconstitutional and in violation OF the
| treaty with Japan, which had rights
| under the most favored nation clause.
| The tax passed over his veto almost
unanimously, only one vote being cast
| to sustain the president. The pressure
| for taxing sake was from the saloon
| keepers and the manufacturers of liq-
uors, as the Japanese use this liquor
almost wholly to the exclusion of other
beverages. 1t is not expected that the
state department will make more than
a formal Acknowledgement of the latest
communication from Japan upon the
subject of annexation of Hawaii, the
understanding being that all future ne
gotiations will be conducted by Minister
Buck and the japanese foreign office
at Toxic.

: EXPENSE ON The INCREASE.
Amount Paid Out by the Government
During July Is Enormous.

Washington, July Sit Is the opin-
ion that the expenditures of the govern
ment for the month Of July will exceed
$50. 600 900. This is a great increase over
the corresponding month last year. The
payments for pensions are nearly $l5,-
600, 600 which is the largest aggregate
that has been paid i'm July for num-
Der Of years. The deficiency in revenues
for the month thus far is $l0.000,000, and
had IL not been for the abnormal re-
ceipts for customs and internal revenue
since July /, owing to the desire to take
advantage of the existing lower rates,
compared with the new tariff act, this
deficiency, it is estimated, would have
reached $40, 600.
The drafts upon the treasury by the
war department, largely on account or
public improvements. aggregate nearly
$11 900. 900, which is also a sum largely In
excess of the usual payments on this
account thus early In the fiscal year
The receipts from customs and internal
revenue have dropped below the normal.
and are likely to SO continue for some
time Thus for the receipts for the
month from customs exceed S16,OOO,OOO,
while those from internal revenue are
nearly $40 000, 900.
