Something to Know.

It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor.
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centers in the
stomach, generally stimulates the liver
and kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it

Finds Bad Conditions.

DR.. A. A. Flaten of the state board of
health has made a trip through EN-
mons, Mercer and Logan counties this
winter with a view to checking, if pos
sible, the ravages Of scarlet fever, diph.
iberia and other contagious diseases
which have, for a long time, been preva-
lent among the Russian settlers of those
counties.
Since his first visit there is very little
improvement noticeable. The people
still continue to live in their adobe
houses, built of home made brick, plas.
tered with mixed mud and manure, and
it is a great wonder that any of the
settlers are hardyenough to live through
the experiences to which they subject
themselves. Their living rooms in
many cases, open directly into the adj
joining stables which are under the
same roof. In the winter time the door
between the two is left open that the
family may get some Of the surplus heat
given off by the animals. The buildings
- aTtHEE# aEEI.sEETE
are very tight and the one or two small
windows are kept closely covered, that
no heat may be wasted. In this sort Of
building families of ten or fifteen per.
sons frequently live and men, women
and children and cattle breathe the
same air v and over again until it be.
comes poisoned with foul gases. Diph-
liberia. scarlet fever, measles and other
contagious diseases are fearfully preva-
lent. and the death rate is enormous.
The people absolutely refuse to en-
ploy physicians o to use medicines.
They are blind fatalists, having brought
with them acros the ocean the beliefs
aud superstitions of their race.

Inc. This is the first pardon pending

an unique question as to whether q

that the pardon might be uneonstitu

curious question CT complication which
arises. Our supreme court has held
that a violation e the constitution can
only be pleaded by the party whose

have the pardon auuulled That being
the case the only course open to the
district attorney, if he still desired 70

MIGHTY POWER OF POWDER.
Prof. Stratton, of Chicago, Has Conn
pIeted His Experiments Mt
Newport Station.

Prof. Samuel w. Stratton, of the
University of Chicago and lieutenantin
the Chicago battalion of the Illinois
naval militia, has returned from the
east. While away he spent most of
his time at Newport experimenting at
the government station with ex-
plosives.
His experiments were under the di-
rect supervision of the navy depart
ment, and his extended knowledge in
the realm of physics and chemistry
was taken into consideration when the
invitation to him was issued.
Prof. Stratton intends giving the
members of the naval militia in Chi
cago the benefit of his experiments. He
is supplied with sample explosives and
a large number of drawings illustrat-
ing the use of torpedoes and submarine
explosives. The naval cadets will at
once be instructed in the use of the en-
gines of destruction. -
"The preparation for war at New
port" said he, (which is one of the
most important points for shipment of
explosives and torpedoes, is going on
with feverish anxiety. So far as I
know there are no private firms man
ufacturing torpedoes in this country,
and the government has had to rely on
its own factory at Newport. In case of
war l believe this government will make
good use of the naval militia every
where All may be needed soon.
"The navy officials, as well as other
people in the east, believe that war is
inevitable, and as far as my own OBJ
servations go, should say they were
right"

MAY SEARCH NEUTRAL SHIPS.
United States and Spain Have the
Right 10 Look for and Seize
COntrnbnnd of War.

The views of Sir Richard Webster as
to the right in the event of war of
search of neutral ships by Spain or
the United States are concurred in by
the state department. 1t is pointed
out that the capture of contraband is
legitimate during hostilities and that
search is necessary to determine the
character of a ships cargo. 1t is also
held at Washington that Sir Richard
Webster's statement as to the status
of Spain and the United States under
the declaration of Paris is correct.
The fact that neither Spain nor this
country are signers of the Paris con-
vention has caused considerable dis
cussion as to the possibility of pri-
Watering in the event of war. 1t has
been suggested that the powers might
attempt to treat the privateers of either
nation as pirates. An official of the
state department said, however, that
no real fears are entertained on this
ground. He pointed out that it has
been held by the best authorities on in
ternational law that the declaration of
Paris that 'priyateering is and remains
abolished" is merely compact and
cannot affect international law; con-
sequently no nation by reason of its
being a member of the Paris treaty
can treat privateers of non-signatories
as pirates, nor is it prohibited from
using privateers itself when at war with
nation not a member of the Paris
convention
