A prospective mother cannot begin too
early to look after her own health and phys
ical condition. This is sure to be reflected
in the baby. Any weakness or nervous de-
preston, or lack of vigor on the mother s
part should be overcome early during the
expectant time by the use of DR.. Pierce s
Favorite Prescription, which promotes the
perfect health and strength of the organism
specially concerned in motherhood.
1t makes the coming of baby absolutely
safe and comparatively free from pain; rem
ders the mother strong and cheerful, and
transmits healthy constitutional vigor to
the child.
No other medicine in the world has been
such unqualified blessing to mothers and
their children. 1t is the one positive spe-
cifc for all weak and diseased conditions
of the feminine organism. 1t is the only
medicine of its kind devised for this one
purpose by a trained and educated special
ist in this particular field.

Facts about LOngfelIOw.

The study Of authors, their
writings and personalities, is al
ways more or less interesting
and instructive. But perhaps the
most generally read and beloved
author is our own great Ameri-
can poet Longfell wv.
AS a poet Lonefellow is char
acterized by tenderness and depth
of feeling, to the expression of
which the picturesque and grace
full sim plicity of his language
often imparTs all ildescribable
charm. His poetry appeals to
those sentiments common to all
mankind. persons Of every
rank and Of every cline.
The poet was twice married,
and "Hyperion." according to a
pleasing legend, was written to
win the heart Of her who became
his second wife. Her death, as
many know. was pathetic. She
had been diverting her children
by making figures Oh the floor
with melting sealing~wax, when
her dress took fire. and she was
fatally injured by the flames. It
is said that week after the event
the poet appeared on the streets
SO changed as to excite the sur
prise as we'll as the pity Of his
friends. Age seemed to have
cou on in day. Many years
afterward, in reference to this
event, he wrote the Gross in
the Snow" He used to take a
few choice friends into the room
where her portrait hung, and
turn aside to weep, saying: That
was my dear wife"

WORK OF THE MINIS.

The monthly statement issued by the
director of the mint shows that during
July, 1897, the coinage executed Mt the
United States minis amounted to $780,
$50; as follows: Gold, S377, 600: silver,
$500, OC0: minor COINS 1888 No stand
ard silver dollars were coined. 1t is
stated, however, that there is no signifi-
canoe in this fact. All OF the mints
we're closed from fifteen to twenty days
during July, for repairs to machinery
and the annual oYerhauling, and in COLI
sequence the coinage was unusually light.
In explanation of the fac5 that no
standard dollars were coined it is said
that the supply on hand is sufficient for
all needs and, further. that the stock of
minor coins has run very low. In order
to meet the present and prospective de-
maids of trade, the miDts were occupied
in coming subsidiary silver and probably
would so continue through the month of
August. In addition there has accumu-
lated large stock OF uncurrent subsidi-
airy silver, which must be recoined as
promptly rs possible. During the month
of August the large accumulation of gold
bullion Mt SAN Francisco, which now
amounts to about $4,500,000 will be
worked of rs rapidly rs the capacity Of
the mint will permit. The coinas of
standard silver dollars probably will be
resumed about SeDtembpr

Investigation and finish his report in

Mr.. Durham is we'll equipped for the

instructed by Commissioner of Labor
Wright to make critical inquiry into
the opportunities for business for invest

wages, cost of living, climate, best means
of reaching the gold fields, and kindred
subjects. He will go direct to San Fran
cisco, and will sail fr,m there August 8,
taking the juneau overland route, and
reaching the Klondike region about the
middle of September. He will watch the
winter and early spriLg work, and is ex :

port, which, it is hoped, will be publish

HAWAII AND JAPAN.

The Hawaiian correspondent of the
Washington Star predccs great prosper
ity for Honolulu on the completion OF the
Niaraguan canal, and says the popular
feeling in Japan is almost unanimous for
annexing the islands TO the Oriental En-
pire. The diplomats Of Japan, of course,
pretend that their government has no
such designs, bat there is all the differ
ence in the world, Dramatically, between
what man says and what he thinks or
what he would 10 if he had the opportu-
nifty. with the people of Japan deter
mined to possess Hawaii if possible the
statesmen of that country must naturally
sympathze with their aspirations and be
resolved, if they get the chance, to add
them to Japanese territory. The popu-
lation of the latter country is about As.
00U,O 0O, and rs the people are confined to
comparatively small area, they must
naturally be DESTROYS of expanding the
limits of the empire. Hawaii with its
delicious climate and productive soil
would soon become IL japan i'm miniature
If tie people Of that country could once
secure foOthold there. Hence the
Japanese government is very much ex.
cited at the idea of the United States tax
ing possession of n country which the
ruling classes believe belongs to Japan.
They pretend to fear Japanese subjects
will be denied certain treaty rights guar
anteed them by Hawaii If the islands
should he annexed to the United States,
chen really their only anxiety is the ab
sorption of the country by tbe United
States.

If good Democrat is willing to bow to

seems reasonable to suppose that mem

and return to the organization to which

We find that there are those who are
miscOnstruing what the GAZETTE said
week OF two ago relative to the issue
of the Bontz case. After a fair state
ment Of the way the jury looked at it,
we said MANY people however, wished
for a conviction on general principles,
for the effect it might have on the Off
cials in the Bank of Hutchinson.
They endeavOr to make it appear that
we wished BOnTz convicted whether he
was guilty or innocent, for the effect
it might have on the officials in the
other hank. Such a construction is
prepOsterOus. What was meant was
that a conviction in the BOntz case
(assuming of course there to be good
grounds for it, would have been good
example for these other people to have.
The sentence would probably have
been clearer had the one phrase been
transpOsed 80 AS to read Bs follows:
lon general principles, many people
wished for a conviction for the effect,
etc" The GAZETTE has been accused
of adding fuel to the flames of public
passion in this bank matter. While
we would not advise mob law, and on
no account would we be a party to it,
we would like to get every one suffici-
emily MAD to make some changes that
are needed in the banking system for
the protection of depositors. The new
banking law is probably the best ever
enacted in the United States, but even
it might in our opinion be improved
upon, and in the course of time will
be. While We say we do not favor
mob law, we still adhere to what was
said when we declared that the people
could not be greatly blamed if under
certain circumstances they did some
thing commonly called rash. Ifrogues
will break the law end rob, the people
can not always be expected to obey
the law and be robbed.
