A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but
there is really no trick about it.
Anybody can try it who has lame
back and weak kidneys, malaria
or nervous troubles. We mean
he can cure himself right away
by taking Electric Bitters. This
medicine tones up the whole sys-
tenn, acts as a stimulant to the
liver and kidneys, is blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. It cures
constipation, headache, faintlng
spells, sleeplessness and melan-
choly. 1t is purely vegetable, a
mild laxative, and restores the
system to it's natural vigor. Try
Electric Bltters and be convinced
that they are q miracle worker.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only
so cents a bottle at F. G.. Alworth
& Co.'s drug store.

In Memory Of James j. Wills.

j. Willis. beloved son of Judge
@. w. and Mary K. Wills, pas
S"d from Che tolls and SufferingS
Of this Life TO the rest and joys of
heaven. Although, JimLaie had
never united with any church,
owing to his being an invalid for
many years, bis life was a
silent testimony Of his love for
Jesus, and his resignation to His
will amidst all Of his Sufferings.
He was a dutiful son, an exem-
plary young man, and we have
every assurance that he is "Safe
within the vale
The large concourse of people
and the many beautiful floral
tributes express the high esteem
by which he was held in the COM
munity. We pray that God who
is merciful, and who does not
willingly afiiict, may comfort the
bleeding hearts of his parents,
brothers and sisters, and by His
grace may they be enabled in
this great sorrow to say, Faith
er not my will, but Thine be
done"
lis hard u break the tender cord.
When love has bound the heart:
It's hard SO hard to speak, the words.
We must forever part.
Dearest loved one we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace;
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.

New York, November 5.-The confer
ence Of United States appraisers and
customs officers held to arrange some
equitable classification Of tobacco on
which to base duties collected at the
various ports of entry was continued
this afternoon in the appraisers stores.
The conference is to continue until late
this evening. So much confusion n
have been caused by the un-
certainty as to what constitutes wrap
per" tobacco and filler" tobacco hat
Secretary Gage ordered the conference
to settle the matter. The duty upon
wrappers" is $1.S5 a pound and upon
filters So cents a pound. AS a result,
many shippers AVE been concealing
the wrappers in bales of filters and
evading the duty. Then there are
"self adjusting bales of tobacco from
Mexico that contain both wrappers
and filters. The conference is to frame
rules to straighten out the abuses.
When the rules have been drawn up
Secretary Gage will embody them in a
general treasury order.

Why He Would n OF be Searched

Professor Max. Muller, according to
The New York Tribune, tells a story
of what once happened in the coin
rooms Of the British museum, where,
during a visit of a number Of gentle
men n ladies, it was observed hat a
very valuable mo almost unique Sic
ilian coin had disappeared. All the
gentlemen present in the room at the
time had to be searched, and no one
objected except one. He protested his
innocence, but declared that nothing
would induce him to allow his pockets
to be searched. All the other visitors
were allowed to go home, but he was
detained while the coin room was
swept and every corner searched once
more. At last the missing coin was
found in a chink of the floor. Every
apology was made to the suspected
person, but he was asked why he had
so strongly objected to being searched.
He then produced from his pocket an
other speciment of the very same coin.
Il came here" he said, ito compare
my specimen, which is very perfect,
with the only other specimen which is
thought to be superior to mine, and al
most unique in the world. Now, sup
pose," he added, that you had not
found your coin, and had found my
specimen in my pocket, would any
body have believed in my i~nnocence?'
