The Story Teller.

.eaxz K in place Of our story
writer's, they have professional story
tellers 1t is their art to interest their
listeners with tales of love, and marvellous
adventures, and hair breadth escapes, and
magic cures. There's a story of wonder
full medicine that has made thousands of
cures that seemed almost magical. which
eyery woman should read or hear. To
have heard it or to read it, may save wo-
man her own life or that of her husband.
The medicine is the discovery of DR..
r. v Pierce. an eminent and skIlltul spe-
cialist for thirty years chief consulting
physician to the great lnvalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. y. 1t Is
known as Dr. Perce's Golden Medical Dis
covery 1t makes the appetite hearty, the
digestion perfect, the liver active, the
blood pure and rich, the nerves steady, the
brain clear and the body strong. 1t is the
great blood maker and flesh builder. It
cures oS per cent. of all cases of consunp-
ton and diseases of the air-pasSages. 1t
cures nervous diseases and is the best med
icine for overworked men and women. A
woman may save her husbands life by
keeping bottle in the house, and getting
him to resort to 1t when he feels out-ot
sorts All men are needless about their
health. Medicines stores sell it. Doctor
Pierce's reputation is world wide, and his
fellow townsnen, of Buffalo, n. ", think
so highly of him that they made him their
representative in Congress, but his great
love for his profession caused him to resign
that honorable position that he might de
vote the remainder of his life TO the relief
and cure of the sick.
Another good thing to have in the house
is vial of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They cure biliousness and constipation
and never grippe.

also claimed that the directors of the
refOrmatOry had no right to send Dun
ford to the penitentiary when he had
already been sentenced to the reforna-
tory by the district court.
The DunfOrd boy was known as one
of the worst in Topeka for several
years and was continually in trouble.
While his parents were respectable
they could do nothing with their refrac-
tory son. The records at the county
Jail show that in October, 1898, the boy
was arrested for burglary. He gave his
age at II at that time. He was tried
and acquitted His name next appears
on the records in September, 1894, on
the charge of assault and this time he
was convicted and fined SO. The rec
Ords show another arrest in June, 1895,
time he was released from Jail by the
county commissioners. In November,
1895, he pleaded guilty in the district
court and was sentenced to the re-
fOrmatOry. The last Offense was the
theft of $40 worth of bread tickets from
Vesper's bakery.
1t is evident from these facts that the
community is better off without young
DunfOrd and it will be an unfortunate
thing if he is released.
We have had trouble enough with
thieves. and foOtpads the past three
months without adding to their num-
Der.
There is no evidence to show that
Dunford has reformed, or is any less a
criminal than when he was locked up.
He ought to serve out the full term for
which he was imprisoned

the ground that the making of rates is a
judicial, not a legislative function. HaV-
ing read the decisions of the courts on
inns question since they first parted with
Inelr virtue in 1885, and seeing place
Tor theTn to land short of this position, 1
prepared TINS bill extending the powers
u the railroad commissioners so as to
give tnem equal judicial standing with the
district courts. This was for the purpose
OF having the supreme court pass upon
the question as to whether one court can
attack the decisions of another cOllater-
ally Either the court will have to say that,
and thereby set aside the universal prac-
t1ce of the courts of the United States, or
they viii have to say that the rates made

force the courts to admit the correctness
Of these two propositions, which are in
Ine with and not opposed to this last de-
clSlOn OF the court we Will have gained
point. If, on the other hand, the court
still pursues the corrupt and rotten prac-
tees that it has heretofore, by changing
its decisions to suit the shifting interests
OF the railroad corporations, it will make
plain the fact that the people of the Unit
ed States need not look further to the
courts for justice, but that they must
either make up their minds to submit,
not only to the present exactiOns, but to
the payment of future mortgages that
may be piled upon them by the railroads,
or they must take issue with the courts
and exact from them guarantees that pro-
visions OF the constitution that have been
construed by the courts and sanctioned
by the people for a hundred years shall
be beyond the power of the courts to
change, or, what seems to me to be the
better remedy, to set the idle labor of
the country to work to build railroads of
their own, without bonds or stocks to be
watered, and reWatered, and Watered

He was sentenced to the State Re

order of the board of directors of the

penitentiary.

release is asked for is that Dunford

Seattle, Wash. March 1O.-AIthough the
government relief expedition to the Yukon
has been abandoned, another plan has
been substituted which has the same des-
tinatiOn in view and which will subserve
the same purpose.
The plan is to divide the herd of 537
reindeer now here into two parts The
greater number, 337. will leave here as
soon as transportation arrangements can
be effected for Pyramid harbor. Thence
they will proceed over the Dalton trail to
the Yukon river. At some point in Amer
lean territory, not British territory: the
relief supply station will be established
under the immediate charge of Kjelman.
The remaining 200 reindeer will be sent to
Prince William sound, together with
about 50 herders under command of Cap
tain Abercrombie. The second expedi-
ton will leave here for Prince William
sound some time in May and will start for
the interior of Alaska in June.

Reports That She Has Failed to Make

New York, March 1O.-Charles r.
Flint in an interview today said:
I have just received advices from
friends whom I had asked to inquire,
that the leading bankers in both Paris
and London report that Spain has not
raised any money lately. and that it is
not thought there that she intends to.
While in Washington recently Mr..
Flint offered to the government a tor
PedO boat being built by him at New
ark The government, however, did not
accept her, as, it was said, the present
conditions are such that while there is
plenty of money available there was no
great need for torpedo boats.
