The internal revenue law will require
considerable time before all whom it
eff, cts will become conversant with it's
various provisions. The commissioner
of internal revenue has decided that
railroad companies making charge
for excess baggage of passengers shall
be required to sffix 1-eent stamp to
bills of lading covering such excess, in
the same manner as express companies
are required to stamp their bills of lad
ing. The telegraph companies have
decided that their customers must bear
the burden of the tax on kilograms. All
messages must have cent document
ary stamp attached. All money trans
fers by telegraph must have cent
stamp attached for each 500 or fraction
thereof Messages necessary to COM
plete the money transfer will not require
stamp. The @. NJ & St. Paul and North
western railways announce that they will
stand the expense of the tex on par'or car
tickets and bills of lading, though this
practice will not be adhered to by some
of the other roads, notably those of the
South. The insurance companies viii
also pay the tax on policies. 1t is prob-l
able that eventually tariffs will be so
adjusted that the general public will
have to pay the piper.

MODEST WISCONSIN,

Manitowoc Pilot; Wisconsin is the
peer of the proudest. Her industrial
resources are as varied and fell as any.
In scenery she is not grand, but exquis-
itely pleasing In climate she is I'M
equalled. Her school system is in the
front. Her legislation has been in the
line of the highest progress. Her char
liable institutions exceed in worth and
scoops those Of any other state. In
national councils her wisdom was always
apparent. In war her record is equal
to the best, No other state has had
equal freedom from labor troubles. The
decisions of her courts stand high
throu ghout the land. Her business men
have reputation for honesty and enter
prise everywhere. She excels in many
excellent things, is inferior in nothing,
but has not yet learned how to boast.

HOW TO Look Good.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have bilious look !;
If your stomach be disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are affect
ed, you have pinched look Secure
good health and you will surely have good
looks. Electric Bitters" is a good al
terative and tonic. Acts directly on the
stomach, liver and kidneys. Purifies
the blood, cures pimples, blotches, and
boils and gives good complexion.

Mondovi Herald: During the past
year this country has sold mora goods
abroad than during any other year in
its history. IL would be too modest
not to claim that this fact is largely due
to republican policy. This much is GER
tain: The democratic policy under
President Cleveland and the congress he
"hsd on his hands" did not produce
such results. Under that policy our
mills and shops were closed and our
laboring ner were idle. Our commerce
was prostrated and there was general
reign of distrust and depression. 1t
ought not to be very difficult for the
people to decide which policy is the best
for them.

NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY BILL.

A Washington dispatch conveys the
information that the new bankruptcy
bill passed by congress, has been ap-
proved by the president. The law rep
resents a compromise between the ad-
vocates of measure primarily and
chiefly designed for the benefit of debt
ors az j the advocates of a system under
which the rights of creditors would be
as we'll guarded as those of debtors.
The trainers and advocates of the
house measure maintain that they have
won substantial victory, and they be-
lieve that the proposed law, with such
amendments as time and experience may
suggest, will find a place among the
permanent statutes. 1t will at any rate
afford relief to tens ofthousand' of honest
and capable men whom undeserved bust
ness misfortunes overlook and over
whelmed in the last financial panic and
period Of business proetration, and en-
able them to regain their footing and
engage once more in business activities.

a common experience to have DR.. Ayers
Sarsspari1la prescribed by physician.
1t is common experience to see COM
p1ete cure" follow the use of few bottles
of this great blood purifying medicine.
Because, it is a specific for all forms of
blood disease. If disease has its origin
in bad or impure blood, DR.. Ayers Sars-
aparila, acting directly Oh the blood re
moving its impurities and giving to it
vitalizing energy. will promptly eradicate
the disease.
The great feature of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
ri11a is the radical cures that result from
its use. Many medicines only suppress
disease It they push the pimples down
under the skim they paint the complexion
with subtle arsenical compounds, but the
disease RACES in the veins like pent-up
fire, and some day breaks out in vol
canic eruption that eats up the body.
Ayers Sarsaparilla goes to the root. 1t
makes the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. 1t makes the root good and
the fruit is good. 1t gives Nature the
elements she needs to build up the broken
down constitution-nott to brace it up with
stimu1ants or patch it up on the surface.

more about the cures effected by this
remedy. It's sent free, on request, by the

allow something for seeming extrava-

the medicine so praised, cured a loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med

that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure That is why John S. Goode, of

"Dr.. Ayers sarsaparilla is the best med

PrOspectOrs Rushing to the Pine
Creek District.
Jul eau, Alaska, Aug. 10, via Seattle,
Wash. Aug. 16.-What is regarded as
a most important discovery of rich
placer diggings is reported to have
been made on Pine creek, a small
stream emptying into Atln lake,
feeder of Lake Tagish. The discovery
is located in the Northwest Territory.
The news of the discovery has caused
a great stampede from Juneau and
other Southeastern Alaska points. and
it is estimated that at least 1000 pros
pectorS have started for the locality.
AS reported here the find was made
two years ago by George Miller Of
this city, about the time the Klondike
was made Miller allowed his dis
covery to lie dormant and went to the
Klondike. Last month he returned,
and, taking a few friends into conf
dence, visited the place and staked out
their claims. Walter Carter, who has

saws: 81 saw four men shovel in
twenty ounces in two days, one pan

news has caused great excitement in
Juneau, and every boat leaving here
is crowded with prospectors. The
gold brought in from the new diggings
is like that from the KlOndike, very
coarse. but it is said to be worth - an
ounce more.
