Carbonate of Soda is . great favorite
with some doctors. but the writer
has had considerable experience in
his time, and prefers the old fashion
ed modification powders, which
have never been superseded by any
new remedy.
Here is the prescription
Take Gunpowder, Sal Nitre,

wedgewood mortar mix a teaspoon
full in a cup of water and cider vim

frequently during the day.
Don't be afraid of these remedies.
Avoid caustics and swabbing the

WANAMAKBR WANTED.
Business Men Endorse Him for
State Treasurer.
(From Our Own Correspondent

CFrom Our Own Correspondent
Harrisburg. March 24.-The Bushes.
Mems League of, Pennsylvania Is urg
ing John Wanamaker to come out a.
Il candidate for state treasurer. There
Is no question about his pre-eminenr
itness for the place. If John Wana.
maker should be induced to accept the
nomination there would be a state
treasurer In Harrisburg such as pos.
sibly the commonwealth had never
seen before.
The National League OF Business
Men in Philadelphia on Monday las,
passed resolutions asking Hon. John
Wanamaker to become their candidate
for state treasurer. They are aware Il
would be a great sacrifice for Mr.
Wanamaker to accept, but they never
theless urge him to enter the cam
paign.
This Is an indication that the Bust
ness Mems League and the anti -Quay
men are in this fight to stay. They will
never leave the field until the last
vestige of bossism Is driven from the
state. Bossism has been the curse of
Pennsylvania for n quarter Of a CEN
fury. and 1t cannot last much longer.

The first execution for murder, after
the missionaries arrived in these ISL
and. according to the recollection OF
the oldest inhabitant, was that of a ma
tive convicted by one of the chiefs act
ing as a judge. A slanting cocoanut
tree, not far from the spot where the
store of Hackfeld & Company now
stands was used for the scaffold. Cap
tain Adams an old sailor was the eX
ecutioner. He had fastened block at
point 80 feet from the ground, and
run rope through it, one end of which
connected with the moose and the other
was held by number of natives. Cap
tain Woodland held in his hand large
silver watch, and precisely at s o'clock
in the morning, having placed the
criminal in position, he gave the word,
and the natives ran the criminal nearly
up to the block. After he had been
riding in a cart drawn by natives, and
attended by number of chiefs, arrived
and demonstrated because the man had
been hung before they arrived. The
man was lowered. and again run up, in
order to crafty their curiosity. The
natives regarded the proceedings as
rather interesting, but by no. means
serious Or solemn.
