ton OF the Norfolk Public Library asso.
citation will be held tomorrow evening
in the high school building and all
interested in this important movement
should be in attendance. 1t is believed
from the canvass that has been made,
that there will be no trouble whatever
in securing the necessary stockholders
to inaugurate the enterprise. Numer-
Gus offers of books have been received
and if the library is once placed on n
firm basis there will probably be no Diff
Guilty in maintaining and adding to 1t.
The city of York has n fine library

n magnificent endowment from n de-

its value.
The smoke from the sugar factory
today and yesterday made one of its
occasional advertising trips, reminding
the people of the surrounding country
of the fact that Norfolk is the home of
an important industry which is employ
ing $50 men constantly in turning out
n supply of sugar that will go toward
supplying the demand of n vast number
of ''sweet tooths." Tho smoke this
morning took a westerly course until it
reached the hills several miles beyond
the factory, when it veered to the south
making a distinct semicircular black line
along the horizon as far MS the eye could
perceive. 1t is said that the line of
smoke was distinctly visible at Madison
yesterday, while it has at other times
been noticed west OF Neigh. 1t re-
quires a peculiar condition of the at
mosphere to keep it in line and when
most favorable the smoke line would
undoubtedly preserve its distinctness
for perhaps n hundred miles or until
the minute molecules composing it
were dispersed in the air. 1t is n beau
tiful and inspiring sight and the factory
management has the thanks of many
people for dispensing with the use of
oil f~orfuel, which made very little smoke,

ing the power.

Counter Charge of Nicaragua Against
Merchants at BIuefeIds.

After mature consideration of the position
assumed by the Nicaraguan government
in the matter of the recollection of taxes
already paid by the American merchants
at Bluefeds, the State Department has
seen no reason to modify its original con-
clusion thar Gen. Torres practice is clearly
illegal and in degradation of the rights of
these American merchants. Therefore q
strong instruction has been addressed to
United States Minister Merry, to be present.
ed TO the Nicaraguan government at Mama
qua, looking to the discontinuance Of the
practice
Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan charge daft
faires, has made a statement in regard to
the case, in which he says:
When foreigners go to Nicaragua, as to
any other country, to engage in business
they are obliged to recognize the sovereign
ty, obey the laws and not interfere in the
politics of that country. These Americans,
however, did interfere with the politics of
Nicaragua by giving assistance to the in
sen to punish them for that or require
them to leave the country, nor Is she levy
ing blackmail in requiring the payment Of
duties which are payable to her alone. A
fair, calm consideration of the facts in the
case, together with the international law
applying to them, will convince any one
that Nicaragua is neither bullying, black
mailing nor proceeding in any other than
legitimate manner in collecting duties
that are rightly due her.

Golden Medical Discovery for
diseases Of the stomach and organs
OF digestion and nutrition. The
theory that diseases which originate
in the stomach must be cured
through the stomach" was the funda-
mental theory on which DIR. Pierce
worked, and in a practice of more
than thirty years, cures of disease in
heart, head, lungs, liver, nerves and
other organs, by the cure of the dis
eased condition of the digestive and
nutritive system, have abundantly de-
monstrated the soundness of the doc
tors theory and the perfection of the
remedy he prepared to meet the re-
quired conditions. These cures can
be numbered by hundreds of thou
sands and the benehciaries OF DR..
Pierce's skill are found in every walk
of life.

DECLARED UNCONsTITUTIONA
The Law Relating to Conviction of
Receivers of Stolen Goods.


The Supreme Court yesterday declared
unconstitutional the law providing that in
the trial of receivers of goods stolen from
the government the Judgment in the trials
of the principals, where they have been
found guilty, shall be accepted as evidence
that the goods in question were stolen.
The decision was handed down by JUS
tfce Harlan in the case of Joe Kirby, plain
tiff in error against the United States,
from the district court for South Dakota
constituting the act of Congress of March
g. 1915. Kirby was indicted, tried and
found guilty of receiving postage stamps
and other property stolen from the post
office at Highmore, S. D., in 1885, by three
other men who We're tried and convicted
In Kirby's trial the record in the previous
case was introduced and accepted as evil
dence of the fact that the property was
stolen, and the defendant was adjudged
guilty.
Justice Harlan's opinion reversed this de-
cision and declared the law unconstitu-
tional on the ground that it is in conflict
with the sixth amendment to the Consti-
tuition, which provides that 'in all criminal
prosecutions the accused shall be confront
ed with the witnesses against him."
The case was remanded with directions
for q new trial.

Discussing the Philippines, General Shaf-
ter said last night:
General Lawton and his men are achiey-
ing much success SO far as they CO. The
fighting against the FNlipinos, however, is
Ike the brushing away of flies; the mo-
ment the brushing is stopped they come
back. The Filipinos are bound to give in
eventually, but l believe it is a much more
serious task to subdue them than most
people think
General Shafter said the enthusiasm for
enlisting for service in the Philippines was
remarkable and quoted a remark of Adju-
tant General Corbin that the department
may have to stop recruiting men for the
Philippines, owing to the numbers now en-
listing. He said there were nearly a thou
sand recruits at the Presidio when he left.
many of whom were formerly in the vol
unteer army. A large camp of recruits for
Manila, he said, will be established at the
Preside and between 5000 and G.OOO men
will leave there for Manila in the next
three weeks on transports now hurrying

ments and claims, take the case of
MIR. John L. Coughenour of Glen
savage, Somerset Co., Pa. He writes:
L had been doctoring and using
patent medicines for about a wear
and a half, being unable to work
most OF the time. The doctor said |
had heart disease and indigestion.
1t began with a choking and op-
pressed feeling in the chest; later on
L was troubled with hungry feeling,
and L seemed to be raw from nv
throat clear down into my stomach.
My appetite was unusually poor, and
was as weak and nervous as though
| had been starved out for months.
My heart kept throbbing continually
and L was short of breath. Finally
| wrote to you for advice and YOU in
formed me that had indigestion and
a torpid liver. l did not think your
diagnosis was right, but | ordered
six bottles of Golden Medical Dis
covery' from you and began its use.
Alter using three bottles l began to
improve slowly and soon went to
work, and | have been working ever
since"
Similar cases could be multiplied
1t is noticeable that in almost all
these cases, resort has been had to
Doctor Pierce's treatment after other
medicines have failed to give relief
and doctors fees have been paid in
vain.
1T is with pleasure that l tell YOU
what DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Pellets have done for

Peede, kaufman Co., Texas. 1.-TWO

The symptoms of disease vary with
different people. A great many times
as in the case of Mr.. Couehenour
given above DR.. Pierce's diagnosis
does not seem to agree with the
symptoms the patient feels any more
that it agrees with the diagnosis of
the local physicians. But the event
justifies the judgment of DR.. Pierce
and ninety-eight per cent of those
who give Golden Medical Discov-
cry" fair and faithful trial are per-
tectly and permanently cured.
Golden Medical Discovery is not
cure-all. 1t is medicine specially
prepared to cure diseases of the
stomach and organs of digestion and
nutrition. 1t cures many forms OF
disease seemingly remote from the
stomach, because these ailments
have their origin in a diseased con-
dition OF the stomach, and because
diseases originating in the stomach
are cured through the stomach.

meals, minus that touch of caricature
which is only the emphasis OF humor,
is almost as accurate today as it was
when the great author penned his
novel.
Here is the picture as Dickens
painted it: Martin Chuzzlewit has
just landed. He has presented his
credentials and met several 'prOmi-
nent citizens" In company with two
OF these he is leisurely walking down
the street. engaged in conversation,
Suddenly the Changing of a bell is
heard and the estinable citizens start
off at breakneck speed in the direc-
ton OF the sound. Other people are
seen running in the same direction,
Martin conJectures that it is a fire,
and quickens his steps. Around the
corner he comes on a brawny negro,
ringing bell with great industry, and
sees a struggling crowd fighting their
way through narrow door eager to
reach the dinner table Martin finds,
by the courtesy of the colonel, a seat
turned down for him and he watches
the scene in arnazemeht. Everybody
scrambling, boiling and gulping as if
lie depended on swallowing all the
food possible in the most indigestible
condition.
The poultry few as rapidly as if
every bird had the use of its wings
and had flown in desperation down a
human throat. The oysters slid by
scores into the mouths of the assem-
bly,. The sharpest pickles vanished
like sugar plurns. Great heaps OF in
digestible matter melted away as ice
before the sun. 1t was a solemn and
awful thing to see dyspeptic indi-
viduals bolting food in wedges: feed
ing not themselves but brood OF
nightmares. Spare men with lank
and rigid cheeks came out unsatished
from the destruction OF heavy dishes
and glared with watchful eyes upon
the pastry
OF course this is caricature. But
it is caricature which impresses on us
that we eat too much and too rapidly.
That we eat without any regard to
the fitness OF our food for the nour-
ishmcnt OF the body. That we over
load the stomach, crush the digestive
and nutritive organs under burden
they cannot carry, and recruit the
ranks OF that great army of men and
women who are victims OF stomach
trouble" The sanitariums are full
OF such people The springs and
baths in this country and Europe are
largely supported by them. They are
tormcnted day and night and are
constant victims OF quackery in their
struggle to escape their torment.
America is known today as dyspep-
tic nation. If it be true, as crusty
old DIR. Abernethy used to say, that
the first place to look for the cause
of disease under ordinary conditions
is III the stomach, how much more
true must that statement be under
the extraordinary conditions when a
man abuses his stomach as he would
not abuse beast of burden, when
he scalds 1t at one moment and
freezes it the next, stuffs it and
starves it at the same time. irritates
it with condiments, sluices it with all
kinds of fluids and loads it with sub
stances OF as little food value as wood
pulp?
That is the actual condition oi
things which DR.. Pierce undertook to
cope with when he prepared his
