 Blood Cannot NOurish.

 What does it lack?
 Iron.
 The strength of iron can literally be made out of iron. All doctors prescribe iron TOT weak constitutions, or would like to-
 But most iron preparations blacken the teeth and have disagreeable taste. qlDr Harter was the first physician to dls- cover a pleasant-tasting preparation of iron which does not blacken the teeth. It IS prepared from the pyrophosphate of iron, recognized by scientists as the best of all the salts of iron.
 It is called Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic
 Backache, sideache, muscleache, head ache and all other aching pains can be driven out with pr. Harters Iron Tonic. It cures chill and ague.
 The iron goes into your blood, and from there to all parts of your body Hat need it. Geologists know when they see red earth that there is iron in it. Doctors, that red blood has iron in it.
 Pale people need iron to color their blood. White blood is unhealthy
 Red, strong robust people with bright, ruddy cheeks have plenty of iron in their blood, and all the iron strength that goes with it.
 Dr. Harters Iron Tonic will give this strength to you, if you want it.
 To be well, to be strong, to be free from pain, to have bright eyes and clear, fresh complexon-who would not want it?
 Here are the very words of a well-known minister and writer the Rev. J. P. Watson, editor of the Herald of Gospel Liberty. He says: Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic did won ders for me when apparently nothing else would reach my case. With its use I rallied rapidly from weakness into strength. I never regretted my testimony nor its gen. eral use."

PARTY CHANGES IN CONGRESS

Adams. When this control was finally broken, and there became in consequence two governments where there had been but one, as the ruling mind in democratic coun- cils had predicted there would be, the party of Jefferson and Calhoun at the north was virtually a nullty except for it's large rep resentation in the senate. And this, too, was on the eve of departure. When it should also go, through voluntary with drawal and a revolution of sentiment in the northern states, the change would be complete. It came in time; and the des- perate work of restoration on the part or the republican party that followed presents the very singular feature of eventually re- storing it's political opponents in congress. But that was a time of apparent excep- 'tions, when precedents and similarities were disregarded and defied The position of both parties was unique, and that Of the democrats exceptionally so. It had been an organization of duality from the first, which was eonclusively proved by this separation of its parts. It's restoration was merely reunion on the principles that had always held it intact.
 In order to see the full significance of the democratic party's restoration in congress, after having been shorn of it's strength by a division of its forces, it is necessary to glance at the scope of Lincoln's election That had revolutionized the executive de- partments and the house of representa- tives. The majority was DelnB drlVen to first principles The sweep to triumph startled the opposition. At last its lead CTS were confronted with a condition that was the legitimate result of their states manship The new political force, or rath- CT a selection and concentration Of old forces under an appropriate name, was or gigantic proportions And it's full develop ment was in the future It was this more than the positive achievement that alarmed the democratic politicians. Even with the house and senate divided to some little extent, as in the Thirty-seventh congress, when the democrats had fourteen sena- tors, counting expulsions, there would nave been glimmer of hope if that adjustment had been final. But 1t meant much more. Thomas F. Clingman, of North Carolina, whose time had largely been spent in sc1en- tiflc pursuits, and who came to the senate first by appointment, in advocating the in- tereyts of his section showed that he was capabie of looking at the matter as To-
 gicjan if not as a statesman. His esu- mate oi the election of Lincoln and re- publican house was decidedly liberal, but in nowise extravagant. His mistake arose from ignorance of the personal qualiflca- tions of the president and the moral inn port of his party's success The idea or

He Took Jewery as a Side Line and Landed in
 Jail.

"Dr." H. Rovers, a patent medicine ven- der, was fined $100 and thirty days extra in the inferior criminal court yesterday morning on the charge of swindling.
 The doctor usually deals in drugs, but he has recently taken up jewelry as a side line. His stock consisted of a lot of plated rings He would make a speech and recite the wonderful things he had done and in- tended to do and ask some one to pay $5 for one of the rings, assuring the purchaser that he would secure ample returns for his money. When the first person produced a bill and obtained ring the doctor would return him his money
 Now, several of you give me $5 for a ring and see what you get," cried the doc tor.
 Several victims responded and secured rings and waited to see what they would get. After ascertainng that no one else in the crowd desired to pay $5 for a brass ring, even with the assurance that they would be none the loser, the doctor distributed cheap lead pencils amongst those who had kindly made him present of s5, closed his valise and returned to his boarding house.
