Grip Hangs on.

Unless the poisons deposited in tht
SYSTEM by the germs Of LaGripps
are quickly and Thoroughly, driven
out at the beginning they will con.
tinue to sap the vitality and waste
the nerve forces of the body until the
strength gives away and the victim
is overcome by nervous prostratiou
and collapse. Ancient methods Of
treatment are no longer recognized as
competent TO treat this tenacious
disease; but there is a remedy which
never fails to give relief so long as
there is vitality enough left to build
on. 1t is DR.. Miles Ncrvine, a nerve
food and vitalizer of unequaled value
in all eases of grip or its terrible
after effects. Headache, baclache,
nervousness, dizziness, loss of APP
petite, inability to sleep, andnervous
prostration all yield before its won
derful soothing, strengthening and
vitalizing influence.
"LaGrippe left meterribly afllict-
ed with neuralgia, sleeplessness and
stomach trouble which soon de-
veloped intonervous prostration and
| was a complete wreck. When
our home physicians failed to help
me l went to Grand Rapids for
help, but they gave me up to die.
Began taking DR.. Miles Nervine
ard was benefited from the first dose,
In a few weeks | was well and now
| can do as much work on my farm
as | ever could"
JOHN F. MIsNER,
Cedar Springs, Mich.
"A trial package of DR.. Miles ia
vorite treatment for the grip, con-
sisting of DR.. Miles Nervine, DR..
Miles Nerve and Liver Pills, will
be sent absolutely free to any person

The Committee S Resolutions.

We give below the resolutions ad-
opted by the Republican Standing
Committee in session in the Court
Houre Saturday. They are as fol-
lows:
WHEREAS, we the members of
the Republican Standing Committee
of the county of Snyder in conven-
ton assembled believe it to be due
to the interests of true Republican
ism to give expression to our views
upon the questions which at present
confront and seriously affect the tu-
ture welfare and prosperity Of our
great party.
RESOLVED, BE it, therefore that
the time-honored principle that the
majority shall rule should at all
times be upheld by every true and
loyal Republican.
RESOLVED, That we endorse the
course of Hon. A. M. Smith, our
faithful representative, and his col
league, Hon. f. Nj. Hummel, sena-
tor, from the 9th district.
RESOLVED, That we ask and de-
mand of our senators and members
of Congress to use their influence
to procure the repeal of the infamous
and unjust civil service system
which was instigated and carried in
to effect by the late President,
Grover Cleveland.
RESOLVED, That our representa-
tive and senator be urged to vote for
the bill now pending before the Leg
islature of this Commonwealth reduc-
ing the legal rate of interest, and
use every honorable means to Grad
icate the discrimination shown by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company a.
gainst the people of Snyder County
in charging extra rates for passeng-
ers and freight across the Selins-
grove river bridge. Be it therefore
RESOLVED, That we urge ourre-
preventative. Hon. A. M. Smith,
and Hon. f. NJ. Hummel, senator,
representing the 9th district, to use
all honorable means to procure the
reelection OF Hon. M. S. Quay to
the United States Senate.

G.. +. SPECHT, Comm.
II. S. REyNINGER,
1t is well to note here that the re-
solutions adopted are far from tn.
copy that was handed to them by an
ardent Quayite. The Quayite who
wrote the original resolutions called
the Ex-senator "The peerless leader"
and such names as that and had
written one of the finest eulogies
that could be written of the best
man who ever walked the face of
the earth. The committee could not
swallow such truck. They robbed
the bird of its plumage by making
simply a blank endorsement so as
not to offend any one. In their hearts
they knew that they did not owe
even this slight expression of ap-
proval, but it went through to main
tain harmonyin the committee. The
said that they had been
endorsing politicians long enough. J

GENERAL MILES
IS INTERVIEWED
WILL NOT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO
THE REMARKS MADE BY
GENERAL EGAN.

Chicago, Jan. ia special to the Tri-
bune from Washington says: Major
General Miles was seen in regard to Gen
eral Egan's statement before the war in
vestigati ton commission here and said
II shall pay no attention to a man who
seems to forget that he wears the uni
form of the United States army, and that
this dignity should carry with it the in
Stincts of a gentleman. If the secretary
of war chooses to take cognizance of
General Egan's language, well and good.
certainly shall not do so. l have not
volunteered any information regarding
the controversy over the beef issued the
army during the Spanish-American war.
I was asked to go before the investi-
eating commission and did so. Being be-
fore the commission. l felt it my duty to
state facts as l understood them, and to
furnish such cOrrobOrative evidence as
had at hand.
IF there be anyone who believes 1 am
firing in the air in the controversy he
| will, I think, find himself mistaken.
am receiving letters every day from every
section of the country, approving of my
course, and some of these letters are
! from persons who offer to furnish testi-
mony in support of my contention. To-
day l received three letters, one from
Governor Roosevelt Of New York, one
from the commander of a crack battery
in Philadelphia, who served in the late
war, and third from the commander OF
a Brooklyn troop. Governor Roosevelt
writes me that the steamers which car
ried his men to Cuba carried some of the
embalmed beef, and that the stencil of II
SO filled the ship it nauseated the men
| The gentleman mentioned as being a res
ident of Philadelphia. writes me he now
has can Of the beef furnished by Com
mssary General Egan, and if the mem
bers Of the investiga ting commission de-
sire to examine it he will bring or send it
to them. The commander of the Brook
lyn troops will also be glad, he says, to
tell what he knows of the subject in con-
troversy.
"It is remarkable that during the in
vestigation everyone seems to have been
called except the private soldiers who
We're compelled to eat this embalmed beef
Hundreds of the men can be found who
would be willing to be heard and l am
satisfied that they would tell the truth
and nothing but the truth. The truth
and nothing but the truth rs what the
American people want. The truth will
hurt no once excepting those who are
guilty, it would seem. of perpetrating a
fraud upon these soldiers, upon the gov
ernment and upon the American people. y

them are Privates Newgard and Terry
of the Thirteenth Minnesota: Slater of
the Idaho regiment; Sergeant Shoup,
Fourth United States cavalry, and Col. c.
P. Whipple of the ordnance department,

Senator is Captain Frank Warren, who
is home under orders and is said to be
the bearer of important dispatches to
Washington. Major II. C. Bement, a
member of Gen. Merritt's staff, returned
on the Senator. He is under orders to re-
port to st. Paul. The Astor battery left
part of it's members in Manila, under the
scourge of fever, and one, Sergeant Perry
L. Burdick, was left in the hospital down
with typhoid fever. Captain O'Brien, who
was in charge of the sick soldiers, says
that the entire army corps was in splen-
did condition, the average of sickness
being only about eight per cent.
