THE OLYMPIA TO BRING DEwEY
Naval Officers Discuss the Return OF
the Ships From Manila.

WARRINGTON, May 5.-Believing the
end Of the insurrection In the Philip
pines TO be in sight naval officers on
duty In the navy department are dis
cussing the chance of some of the
Asiatic squadron being brought home.
Admiral Dewey is not expected to re-
turn to the United States until the
Philippine commission has concluded
its labors. He will then probably
come home on his flagship, the Olym-
pia, which has been on the Asiatic
station since the fall of 1895. She is
in need Of a general overhauling.
The Boston has been in commission
since November Is, 1895, and will also
be brought home. The monitors Mon
terey and Monadnock will undoubted-
ly be retained as the guard ships Of
Manila and the Oregon will be kept
there. There has been talk that the
Iowa would join Dewey's command,
but it is now expected that she will be
continued on the Pacific station.

AS spring comes on, most women
and many men who have lived hot
house lives during the winter, find
themselves unduly frstful, unable to
sleep soundly, without appetite, easily
tired, frequently distressed by head
aches, and lacking ''snapn and strength
tho result of poor blood and weak
nerves.
Tothose in this condition, the thous-
ands of testimonials from people like
Mr.. Guerra who have been benefited
by Paine's celery compound, should
be reason enough for giving this best
of all spring medicines at least q trial.
What 1t has done for others, it will do
for the reader. 1t will purify the
blood, clear the complexion, reiuve-
nate the exhausted nervous system,
insure good digestion, bring on healthy
sleep, and restore ones strength and
vitality.
No other medicine in the world ever
accomplished so much, and a single
trial win add another 10 the long llst
of people in every community who
gratefully sound the praises OF Paine's
celery compound.

celery compound-the only spring
medicine that physicians endorse, and
intelligent families in every COM

Mr.. Guerra was not long In finding
out the great reliance that lie thus
placed upon Psine's celery compound
by the best informed people, and he
was moi slow in taking advantage of
the great remedy himself. Here is
his statement, unqualified, conclusive:
Kansas City, March IS, 1895.
"At times, when / have been seem
ingly exhausted from arduous work,
Paine's celery compound has been OF
such benefit to me that it seems now !
could hardly have progressed but for

striu gent Anti Trust Laws.

ANOn t4g ~ AA
With the passage Of the Whaley
antitrust bill by the Missouri Legisla-
ture this State has placed laws on the
statute books which will dissolve
every trust operating in Missouri, II
State regulation of trusts is possible.
The whaley bill is the most compre-
hensive of all the antitrust bills pass
ed by the Legislature. Had the Farris
bill been defeated and the Whaley bill
passed It would still have been posi-
Bile for the Attorney General to dis
solve the insurance trust.
Acompanion measure TO the Whaley
bill-the Wilson bIll-hae passed both
Legislative Houses. The Whaley bill
defines trusts, combinations and con-
spirscies, and provides for their pun
ishment II they do business in this
State. II also authorizes county at
torneys to institute antitrust pro-
ceedlnga. The Wilson bill empowers
the Attorney General TO send for the
officials Of any company or organiza-
ton whom he has reason TO believe
are In a combine or trust and force
their attendance at Jefferson City for
examination under oath.
With the enactment of these laws a
great responsibility rests upon the
Attorney General OF Missouri. Both
the whaley and Wilson bills were in-
dorsed by Attorney General Grow and
it is an open secret that he has prom
Used to institute proceedings against
every illegal combination in the State.

ANTI THRUST LAWS.
Gov. Stephens Afixes his Signature
to Important Measures.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May. 5.-Goy.
Stephens to-day signed the bill by
Senator Farris giving the Supreme
Court authority to fix places in the
State where officers Of companies
must appear to give testimony in suits
of the Attorney General against trusts.
He also signed a bill by Senator
Wilson, a companion bill to the Farris
bill, which allows the Attorney Gem
erai, on order Of the judges Of the
Supreme Court, to require officers OF
corporations whom he may believe
are forming trusts TO appear at the
State capital and give testimony. The
bin Is intended TO make trust officers
give testimony TO convict themselves.
Both bills are antitrust measures.

On the 18th Of April, 1777, was born
n Of the greatest men Of our country.
This man was Henry Clay, and the
humble homestead where he first saw
the light Of day was among the low,
marshy swamps Of Hanover county, Va.
He was the seventh of a family of eight
children that came 10 bless the house
hold of the poor but devout Rev. John
Clay whose entire congregation was
90 impecunious that IL could not ever
afford a church and was forced to take
its gospel in the open air.
When Henry was but 4 years old,
his father died, leaving the orator in
embryo and his mother to struggle az
best they could for their daily bread.
Henry and his brothers and sisters,
however. were, fortunately, not allowed
TO remain away from school Henry,
on account Of his numerous errands TO
a neighboring min, was nicknamed
''the Mill Boy Of the Slashes," and
years later. when that once barefooted,
mother loving little boy was nominated
10 the presidency Of the United States,
the phrase became one Of endearment
and pride to those hundreds Of thou
sands Of people who had come 10 look
up 10 Henry Clay as the embodiment Of
all that is best in American citizenship
