NJ WOHucl so many safes
girls and factory girls and housewives suf-
fer from indigestion and constipation and
bilious troubles. No wonder they are sub
ject TO the diseases of the delicate special
organism of their sex. The wonder is
rather that they can stand it as we'll as
they do
But "a poor weak woman" as she is
termed will endure bravely and patiently
agonies which a strong man would give
way under. The fact is women are more
patient than they ought to be under such
troubles.
Every woman ought to know that she
may obtain the most eminent medical adj
vice free Of charge and in absolute conf
dence and privacy by writing to Dr. K. V.
Pierce, chief consulting physician Of the
lnvalids Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, n. Y. Occupying this position for
thirty years he has had a wider practical
experience i'll the treatment of women's
diseases than any other physician in this
country. His medicines are world famous
for their astonishing efficacy.
The most perfect remedy ever devised for
weak and delicate women is DR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. His Golden Med
gestive and nutrient tonic The two med
icines taken alternately form the most
perfect and successful course of treat
ment ever prescribed for female troubles
complicated with a sluggish, overweight,
nervous, diseased constitution. In severe
constipation DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets

others. They never grippe.

Lansing, Mich, May 20-The uni
versity regents have won in their con-
trst Auditor General Dix, over the
question IF funds for the construction
of the new building. Dix contended
that the plans tor any building at an,
charitable, penal. or educational or re-
formatory institution. must be submit
ted to the state board of charities and
state board OF health before work is be-
gun. This the regents did not do, and
the auditor withheld the funds for the
completion of the building.
Attorney General Maynard has de-
cided that this statute did not apply
to the university, When the estate APP
propriates money to the university, it
passes TO the regents and becomes the
property of the uni versity, TO be ex-
pended under the exclusive direction
of the regents, and passes beyond the
control of the state through It's legis-

There is a great deal of dissatis-
faction at the manner in which the
Republican convention for this Dis
'sict was conducted and many lead
ing Republicans are not at all back
ward in expressing themselves in re-
gard To 1t. Some think il resembled
a Democratic convention.
1t isjust as easy to act just and
iair In political matters a. il is in
private business transactions and
when parties fail to do this they are
pretty sure to lose by Il. Such men
as Judge McQuin, Major Wagner,
Squire Hutchinson, Thos. Skean and
many others We could name, who
have been attending Republican con-
ventions for years, were left off the
delegation to make places for those
who were never known TO take the
slightest interest in the success of the
party and who never attend Rcpub-
lican conventions.
In Union District we notice such
workers as j. M. Fuller, J. Il. New
man, A. Workman, Senator Gar
rett and j. L. Graham are not dele
gates to the convention of July soth.
The Republican party in this
county is not yet strong enough for
any unfair means to be resorted to
by a few persons and by thus act
ing to ignore such workers an we
have named-and many more whom
we might name. BE fair and lust In
oil things, is Christian motto
which it is always safe to follow.
