have to be a physician to understand the
causes of impure blood, or its far-reaching
effects, When a mans digestion is disor-
dered, his liver sluggish, his bowels inac-
tive, the blood Is deprived of the proper
food elements, and the sluggish liver and
bowels supply In their place, the foulest
of poisons. The blood Is the life stream.
When it is full of foul poisons, 1t carries
and deposits them in every organ and it's
sue of the body. Bone, sinew, muscle, and
lesh-tissue the brain cells and the nerve
fibres are all fed upon bad, poisonous food.
Serious ill-health Is bound to result. The
man is weakened in every fiber of his body.
He Is weakened physically, mentally and
morally. He suffers from sick headache,
distress in stomach after meals, giddiness
and drowsiness, loss of appetite and sleep,
bad taste In the mouth, shakiness in the
morning, and dullness throughout the day,
and lassitude and an indisposition to work.
Sooner or later these conditions develop
consumption, nervous prostration, malaria,
rheumatism, OF some blood or skin disease.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery Is
the best of all known medicines for ambi-
tious, hard.working men and women. II Is
the great blood maker and hesh-builder.
1t makes the appetite keen and hearty, and
the digestion and assimilation perfect, the
liver active, the blood pure and rich, the
nerves steady, the body vigorous and the
brain alert Where there is also constipa-
tion DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be
used Both of these great medicines are
for sale by all medicine dealers.

At Bowling Green Senator Goebel,
replying to some of Theodore Hal
lam's abuse, stated that one Of Hal
.lam's brothers had been in the
penitentiary. In his speech at
Princeton Friday Hallam attemp-
ted to create the impression that
Goebel referred to the imprison-
ment of one of his brothers in mil
itary prison during the war. The
Louisville Post and other Repub-
lican papers used Hallam's reply
as the basis of a charge that
Goebel had insulted the Confederate
soldiers. Senator Goebel at Law
renceburg Saturday used this
language to make it palmer to Hal
lam which brother he meant:
81 had something to say in my
Bowling Green speech about Theo-
dore Hallam, of Covington. Mr..
Hallam had seen fit in his speech
at Bowling Green to say something
about my family. Among others,
he mentioned nv brother. l said
that l never had brother in the
penitentiary, and that it was some
thing Hallam could not say. l see
Hallam said this was true, but that
his brother was Confederate
soldier, and was thrown into prison
during the war.
"Mark what now say. Hallam
had several brothers, and l want
the Confederates to know it was
not his brother who was a Confed-
crate soldier that l referred to. 1t
was to another brother, one who
was convicted of civil charge. /
am incapable of casting any refec-
ton upon Confederate soldier. A
member of my family was Confed-
crate soldier, and was thrown into
military prison, and you all know
that l am held responsible for
bringing about the nomination of
that gallant soldier, Robert ].
Breckenridge. "

CUBAN CAPTAINS GENERAL.
Stories Of Some of the Men who Have
Held the ONCE.

The Spaniards have taken from the
governors palace in Havana the por-
traits of the governors general of
Cuba, and, it is said, will hang them in
the ministry Of war at Madrid. Mr..
Antonio Escobar, who knows the por-
traits we'll, has written an account
of them in the New York Evening
Post, and has embellished his ac-
count with some personal anecdotes
Of the men.
One Of the governors, Gen. Balma-
soda, was extremely stout, but never
theless rode horse, and it is said that
when he dismounted his horse could
plainly be heard to say: cat last"
This reminds one of current witt.
cism in the Santiago campaign, in
which "horse laugh" was defined
as "the laugh which Gen. Wheeler's
horse had on Gen. Shafter's"-the
disparity in the weight of those Off
GERS being nearly 200 pounds.
One of the governors, Valdes, was a
chivalrous man, and also man with
sense of humor He commanded
in South America against the insur-
gent Gen. Sucre. He had young
mulatto commended to him by lady
as a good patriot, because che had
thrown stones at Sucre."
Sonora" responded Valdes, ''if
anyone but lady had told me this
| should order the man to be fiogged.
AS it is, ] will content myself with
saying that the boor did wrong; for
although Sucre is my countrys en-
envy, he is as much general and
gentleman as | am"
Valdes said that he wished TO leave
his name behind him in Cuba, and ac-
cordingly he ordered that every
founding should be given the sur
name of Valdes. AS the order was
not rescinded until long after he
ceased to be governor general, the
name Valdes is now extremely COM
mon in Cuba.
Under Gov. Gen. Ricaport assas-
sinations became terribly frequent in
the island, SO that no ones life or
property was safe. A great delegation
went to Ricaport to demand that
something be done to improve the en-
forcement Of the law.
"When," the governor asked them,
edo you say these robberies and as
sassinations take placer"
eat night" they answered.
"Where?"
I'm the streets"
