Old People.

Old people who require medicine to
regulate the bowels and kidneys will
find the true remedy in Electric Bitters.
This medicine does not stimulate and
contains no whisky nor other intoxicant,
but acts as a tonic and alternative. 1t
acts mildly on the stomach and bowels,
adding strength and giving tone to the
organs, thereby aiding Nature in the
performance of the functions. Electric
Bitters is an excellent appetizer and aids
digestion. Old people find it just exact
ly what they need. Price so cents and

Something to Depend On.

Mr., James Jones. of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, Ill.,, in speaking
of DIR. Kings New Discovery. says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
LaGrippe, and her, case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav-
ing DIR. Kings New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she be-
gan to get better from the first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound
and we'll. DIR. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is
guaranteed to do this good work. Try
it. Free trial bottles at Biakeley &

now holds nearly one hundred and
fifty million dollars in gold, against
one hundred and twenty-five mill
ion last year and ninety-three millions
in 1895.
The failures for the quarter to
October 1st, were for any quarter
since 1892, and the business payment
through banks the largest by two
hundred and sixty eight millions, ac-
conrding to Dun's Review, ever known
in September. The weeks exchanges
were 8.8 per cent larger than in
1892. The aggregate returns of the
railroads for September were 1913
per cent larger than last year. There
was a net increase of $13,160, ,440 In
the money in circulation in Septem-
Der.
The export trade was enormous,
but there has been a falling off dur
ing the past week of one million
bushels each in wheat and corn. 1t
is thought TO be hint from foreign
customers to our farmers and spec
ulators not to hold back for higher
prices. An advance iE wool to the
average of twenty cents pound
adds to the satisfaction eff the farm
ers.
Altogether it may be said that
greater change for the better in the
business condition of the country
was never experienced than that
which the last twelve months have
witnessed. By every possible test 1t
has been proven that tie policy ad.
vocated by the Republican party is
the best for the general good of its
country, and under it the nation can
enjoy a prosperity not possible under
the doctrines promulgated by any
other political body.

STEPHEN J. FIELD.

tice Stephen j. Field from active
service In the supreme court of the
United States marks an epoch in the
history of American jurisprudence.
Justice Field has completed the long
est term of service of any justice
since the wonderful machinery of
the American government was finish
ed and put in motion. Appointed
by President Lincoln, March 10th,
1868, he has outlived all the other
appointments to like positions by the
martyr president. AS the venerable
jurist himself puts it, cat the head
of the court when / became one of
its members was the venerable Chief
Justice Tarrey, and among the asso-
ciate justices was Justice Wayne,
who had sat with Chief Justice Mar
shall. thus constituting link between
the past and future, and, as it were,
bringing into unity nearly an entire
century of the history of this coun-
try. During my incumbency three
chief justices and sixteen associate
Justices have passed away Few
families, if any, have taken such a
prominent part in the conduct of
American affairs as has this
generation of Fields. Four brothers,
equally prominent in their different
vocations, have contributed deeds of
worth to promote the country's
greatness, and added laures to their
oun fame. Without the in nlomitable
courage and far seeing prophecy of
Cyrus Field the laying of the Allan
tic cable would have been delayed
many years. David Dudley Field
occupied, probably. the foremost po-
sition among the leading legal stu
dents of the last half century. HIM.
Field is known wherever the church
has spread its gospel, while the white

the active burdens of life to spend
his few remaining years in peace,
has made an impression upon the
constitutional life of the country
such as few men could ever hope to
do.
What we'll rounded life his has
been. In the stirring scenes of gol-
den California, he bore a prominent
and digniicd part. In the dark days
of the rebellion he saw the inner
workings of the ponderous nachln-
ism whose labor it was to Save the
union from disruption. In the time
reconstruction lie aided in making
the nation whole again. His eyes
have witnessed and his hands have
born a part in the determination of
the gigantic Questions which the
American people have had to settle
IN the last quarter century.
The supreme court of the.,,United
States, most people agree, is the most
dignified body IN the world. To oc-
cupy such a prominent position as
Justice Field has done, would seem
the satisfaction of the most exacting
ambition a man could have.
''Happy, indeed, is he who crowns mid
scenes like these,
A youth of labor with an age of ease.''
The American people feel sym
pathetic interest in the retirement of
Justice Field, and appreciate the
very tender letter written by Pres
ident Mckinley and the heartfelt
words of the associate justices. The
example set by any one of the Field
brothers is one which every Ameri-
can youth would do<well to follow,
though few can hope TO initiate.
