Women hold up DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and "Favorite Pre-
scription as examples of what all med
icines should be in absolute freedom from
alcohol and narcotics. They are strictly
temperance medicines. They contain no
alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any
other narcotic. False formulas of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
uFavorite Prescription" having been pub
lshed by ignorant or unscrupulous per-
sons, DR.. r. v. Pierce as president OF the
Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, Buffalo, N. Y, the manufacturers
of his remedies, offers one thousand
dollars for any bottle Of these medicines
which on analysis shall show the pres
ence either of alcohol or OF opium, Co
caine, or any other narcotic.
Suits against the originators and pub
fishers Of these false formulas have been
instituted, and in order to efectually stop
the publication of these malicious false
hoods, DIR. Pierce asks that his friends
will send him copies Of any circular,
pamphlet, or other advertisement, IN
which the statement is made that Cold
en- Medical Discovery or Favorite Pre-
scription contains alcohol or opium or
other narcotics. Address DIR. Z. v.

Mr.. William II. Griffith, a tin'plate
manufacturer, told the industrial com
mission gome interesting things as to
how the tin.plate trust is making it I'M
possible for him to manufacture tin plate
as private concern. but the most inter
esting and remarkable things were what
he told about prices. He said since the
tin plate trust had been organized The
price Of tin plate had increased from
$3.50 to s4.65 per hundred; that neither
the advance in wages or raw material
justified such price. At $2.5Oa hun
dred there had been 20 per cen, profit iu
the business.

The trusts are an rseue that the repuo-
l;cans do not care TO have brought prom

Our royalty inclined president has oe-
come 20 sensitive relative to his doinss
that any criticism on the part OF a poor
clerk brings down the ad-
minis,rstion wrath to the point oil dis-
missal. Noble Z. Dawson ciefA ~

free speech is restricted not only In kas-
sia and in China, but in the oniteo
States as well.

The trusts will insist that the Rep ib-
lican party grab everything in sight for
them. No other sort Of legislation will
bsgin 10 receive the attention that tins
class will. The Philippines can wait, the
Nicaragua canal can be delayed. financial
legislation can be tinkered along, but the
trusts must haye their subsidies.

of the Ninth infantry: Captain Duncan
Of the Twentv-tirst infantry, and Major

other officers are in the city and several

The probability is that the taking OF
testimony will begin at the next session
when General Miles will be examined.
He will be looked to for a comprehen.
sive statement of his charges and will
be examined as to his statement before
the war commission and his alleged
newspaper interviews. His examina.
ton will be limited closely to his
charges and the basis for them. and il
is understood that should an attempt be
made to elicit from him a statement as
to whether he had entertained any ami.
mus. that it will be held he need not
answer the questions propounded. Gen

THIRTY DEAD
Frightful Rear End Collision
on a Railroad Near
Brussels.
Passengers Injured Were Mostly
From London by Way OF
Calais.
Mons Express Train Dashed Into
the Tourney Train at Full
Speed
Completely Telescoping the Cars
at the Rear of the Tourney
Train.

BRUSSELS. Feb. 20. An express train
from Calais having passengers from
London on board. collided with a sta.
tionary train at Foret. near this city.
Thirty persons were killed outright and
fifty were more or less injured. The
train left Tourney at 5:2a a. M, and
reached Foret at STA. Immediately af.
forwards the Mons express dashed al
full speed into the Tourney train. which
was standing at the platform.
1t is said that. owing to the fog. the
engineer Of the express train did not see
the signals.
The collision was appalling. The ex.
press locomotive mounted on the top OF
the last carriages of the Tourney, which
was filled with passengers. These cars
We're smashed to pieces.

WOrahip Of the Tiger.

The carcass Of the tiger was carried
to the adjacent village. where a hen
was decapitated in front of it by the
Gonds as an offering to the tiger god,
while all the women assembled and did
obeisance to the monster, bringing also
their children, and placing each a small
coin on the tigers body or in front of
its jaws; for these primitive people
look on the tiger as their god, and small
marvel seeing what a wondrous crea-
ture he is, with matchless symmetry
of form and mighty strength, before
which man seems all insignificant pup.
