In many Eastern cities the tax

The Temperance Work.

In our last Issue we made mention
of some injunction suits, oSteusibly
in the interest of temperance, but of
doubtful utility. The factis the drug
stores of this place have too much prop
erty interest at stake, and are con-
trolled by men of too much prudence
and good judgement to Intentionally
place their property in jeopardy at the
whim and caprice of the knaves and
fanatics who know of but one way to
make mankind moral, virtuous and
full of mock piety, such as they pos
SesS. Men hemmed in on the one side
by law which would confiscate all
they possess, and strong public opin-
ion on the other side are notyery like
ly to imperil what they have accumu-
lated through years of toll and frugal
ity in a reckless violation of law.
And the public that by such means
is made temperate, moral and good,
has its goodness but skin deep. The
men who rely upon such means for re-
forming the world have with little
profit read of the cavalier piety of
Cromwell's time, and the excuses
which followed.
The law in its present form offers a
preium. for shyster's in the garb of
lattorneys, as fees that smack of ex-
tortion, and enables the INSCRIPTIONS

decency as was done by counsel from
an adjoining county whose only inter-
in the cause of temperance, morality
and sobriety, was the cent per cent. it
paid upon their limited professional
ability. The mulct law should be a.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 30.-East bound
flyer No. 10 on the Rock Island, due here
at 7:3O a. NJ, was wrecked at 5:45
o'clock in the morning at Keats, near
Manhattan, Kan. The accident was
caused by the flyer running into the
rear of freight train which had just
pulled onto the siding to allow the
flyer to pass.
At headquarters here it is reported
no one was killed. The following were
injured: Engineer Cuthbertson. foot
and ankle sprained; Fireman Crawford,
shoulder sprained; E. 7. Roach, Mena,
Ark, bad cut on arm; George Van
Cleaves, mail clerk, collar bone broken;
Tom Gilbert, Kansas City, Kan, head
and left arm cut. Ed. Hallsy, injured in
chest; doctor thinks not seriously;
Mrs. F. E. McElwel, Peru, Ind, arm
bruised; Miss Jennie Raneses, Perrys-
burg, Ind, bruise on arm.
Eldon, Ia, Aug. 3O.-The Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific local passenger,
No. 2O2, and known as the "Keokuk
express" ran off the track at 1880
o'clock a. M, demolishing the engine,
baggage, mail and smoking cars.
The accident occurred one mile west
of here and was due to broken wheel
on the locomotive. The engineer, fire
man, mail clerk and baggageman were

TRAGEDY AT OMAHA
the Street-Her Skull Was
Crushed.

Omaha, Neb.. Aug. 80. - A woman,
whose identity is mystery, was found
dead on the payment on Park avenue
by newspaper carrier. Doctors say
that she had been dead for several hours
and that death resulted from fracture
of the skull evidently caused by fall
on the pavement. All that the people
who live in the vicinity know about it is
that about II o'clock Monday night they
heard woman scream and saw bug
gy passing in which was man and a
woman. The man was flashing the horse
into run and holding the woman, who
was standing up, and evidently trying
to jump out of the buggy. There is at
present no clew as to the identity of the
dead woman or the man who was with
her. She is well dressed and evidently
woman of refinement. The street
where she was found is in the heart OF
the best residence section of the city.

insuficiently nourished. Improper, insult
ficient nourishment is starvation.
When a mans head aches it is because
the tissues of the brain do not receive
sufficient nourishr1ent from the blood, or re-
ceive impure and unhealthy nourishment.
When man gets nervous and sleepless, it
means that the blood is not properly nour-
ishing the nerves. When his skin breaks
out with blotches and pimples and erup-
lions, it means that the skin is being fed
upon the impurities of the blood. Almost
every known disease is primarily due to
improper nourish1nent through the blood,
which is the life stream. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the greatest
of all blood-inakers and purifiers. It gives
edge to the appetite, corrects all disorders
of the digestion, makes the assimilation of
the life-giving elements of the food per-
feet, inyigorates the liver, promotes secre-
ton and excretion, and vitalizes the whole
body. 1t makes firm, muscular flesh, but
does not make corpulent people more cor
pulent. 1t cures 90 per cent of all cases
of lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and
kindred affections, which, if neglected,
lead up to consumption. 1t is the best of
all nerve tonics and restoratives. Kept by
all medicine dealers.
