In military prisons an offender is some
times sentenced to carry cannon balls from
one place to another and pile them up all
day long. That is all. Perhaps it does not
seem very terrible but it soon wears his
life out. 1t is practically death sentence,
and he knows it; he would rather be shot.
Many a sick man feels the same way about
back and forth from day to day. He would
as soon be down with mortal disease. It
will come to that sooner or later.
A mans life can be dragged out by
dyspepsia and liver complaint. The ex-
perience of Mr.. J. T. Cardwell, of Fall
Creek Depot Pittsylvania Co., Va, shows
how Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
ery saves people from consumption by
waking up their nutritive organism and
giving it power to supply pure, healthy
blood, which drives out blood poisons and
dead tissues and builds up sound, whole
some flesh and muscle.
ct feel it my duty" writes Mr.. Cardwell in a
letter to Dr. Pierce to write you of the lasting
benefits derived from the use of DR.. PIERCE
Golden Medical Discovery and little Pellets:
seven years ago contracted severe cold,
sicians in my State. 1t ran on and continu-
ally grew worse until concluded to write to
the worlds Dispcnsary Medical Association
The answer to my inquiry advised me to use
.Colden Medical Discovery and Pellets for
indigestion and liver complaint; at this time
two months had passed. In two or three days
after had commenced the use of your medi-
cine my cough had entirely stopped. my diges,,
felt new life and vigor IN my whole BODY"
This E marvellous Discovery makes
nerve force and rugged power. 1t is far
better than oily emulsions; it does not
make Habby fat, it does not increase the
weight of corpuleut people.

is THE STATEMENT?
Attorney General Crane Thinks II
Is Not Subject to the Stamp

An Austin dispatch. July 6, says: The
return OF the expires conpaniess to their
original stand with regard to the paw
ment OF the stamp tax on express re-
ceipts has brought them once more
In conflict with the state. TODAY
certain papers in a case pending before
the supreme court of the United States
were rendered the local representa-
OF an express company for shipment by
the attorney general, but under instruc-
tions receipt for same was refused un
til the shipper put up for the stamp. Mr..
Crane holds that congress has no au-
thority to impose a rvenue tax upon
shipments of official documents, the
transportation of which is identical To
the transaction of state business.
Furthermore, in his opinion the new
revenue act was not intended to oper-
ate in such cases and he will test the
matter in the courts.
Teleeraphic messages sent in the
transaction of state business are also
exempt from the stamp tax, according
to bis Interpretation of the law.

SUMMER JOYS.

"They come! The merry summer months of
beauty, song and flowers;
They come. the gladstone months that
bring thick deafness to bowers
Thus sung the ancient poet, but If he were
here today
Methinks he'd tune his Tyre up and twang
some other lay;
For summer brings no flowers to us in town
who toll away;
In place of leafy bowers smoke shuts out
the suns glad ray:
And, for a week of pure, sweet air, where
skies are blue and clear.
We have to shell out all that we have saved
up through the year.

mand that was made upon it, it did
not go into the shops for some months
afterward, and then not because
of the call that had
been made upon its speed in this
trial. 1t has always seemed to me
that no better test could have been
made of the machinery and equipment
of the road. The engines were, so to
speak, taken at random, and met the
requirements of that hot, sad day
in a way that surprised even the ex-

News of Further Fighting Between the Insur-
gents and Spanish.

Havana, April 1S.-News of further fight
ing between the insurgents and the Spanish
troops in the province of Pinar del Rio
reached here today. 1t appears that force
of insurgents, under Torres Aguilar Rizo
made an attack two days ago upon the
Spanish fort at Espujarcsa, Pinar del Rio
and had the best of the fighting, even ac
cording to the Spanish account of the af
fair
The official report of the fight says the
fort was a small one, garrisoned by volun-
teers who made a heroic Defense lasting
three hours"
ly admitted, 1.-THE insurgents entered the
town and plundered and destroyed a tobac-
co warehouse" The Spanish report adds
that the garrison of the fort lost four men
killed and had nine men wounded.
The inhabi ants of this city are enjoy
ing bright summer morning. All is quiet
here. The park last night was crowded
with pedestrians who enjoyed the music of
the military band.
An important piece of work was success
fully completed this morning, that of carry
ing the Vento water TO Casa Blanca.
There was some delay in getting the
water through and as no explanation of
the fact was forthcoming it was believed
something serious had happened. Captain
Maldonado, who constructed the works, ac-
complished his task in twelve days.
The steamer City of Washington arrived
here yesterday. The steamer Santo Do
m. ngo reached this port today from Vera
Cruz, and the steamer Mortera has arrived
here from Santiago de Cuba.
News has been received from the town
OF Alfonso XIII, province of Havana that
