Going it Blindf fold.

The man who deceives himself
with the thought that gripisnothing
but a severe cold, and cajoles himself
with the belief that old fashioned
h home remedies will bring him
through all right is going i: blind
fold. LaGrippe is a disease quite
as contagious and equallyas danger
Gus as scarletina or small pox. Un-
less the grip germs are promptly
eradicated by the proper treatment
they willleave the system filled with
poisonous products which continue
to destroy the nerve forces and waste
the vitality and strength until some
chronic disorder claims the unhappy
victim Tor an early grave.
DIR. Miles Nervine is the only
safe and sure relief for the many
forms ofnervous disorders which are
the result ofgrip poisoning. 1t en-
ables the digestive organs to do their
work completely and efftctually,
providing rich, red, highly vitalized
blood, which builds up the wasted
nerve tissues and drives ont the
poisonous products of the terrible
little diseased germs.
"The grip was followed by nerv-
Gus prostration which soon develop
ed into sciatic rheumatism, and lay |
on my back all winter. Two of our
best physicians were unable to do
anything to relieve my suffering.
The pains were so severe at times
that | was unable to turn over in
bed and my long suffering nearly
drove me mad. After trying sever
al "cures" commenced taking DIR.
Miles Nervine, and got relief from
the first bottle. Six bottles restored
me to better health than / had en-
joyed before inyears.

QUAY STILL AN ISSUE.

The acquittal of L. S. Senator
Quay and his immediate appoint.
ment OF Governor Stone to the posi-.
tion which the Legislature refused
to give him leaves the question still
an issue betorethe people. Governor
Stone proposes to force upor the
people man whom they have dis
tlnctly refused to elect or accept. 1t
is still question, notwithstanding
his appointment, whethcrthe United
States Senate willaccept the Govern
or's appointment. Even If they do
Quay will only hold thcpositlon un-
til the Legislature will again con-
vene to elect some one else.
The act of the Governor in max
ing this appointment is an usurpa-
ton ofpower not delegated to him.
If the Governor thinks he can take
the bull by the horns inthis manner,
he may see the day when the people
ofthc state will be onl2 too glad for
an opportunity to persuade him 9TH
erwiSe. The Governor very well
knew that the people did not desire
Quay's restoration to his scat in the
Senate or else their representatives
would have reelected him.
The people are mole thoroughly
aroused than ever and they will be
more enthusiastic in their endcavors
to eradicate bossism from the cardi-
nal principles of the duties of Un-
tied States Senator.
Only six of the hold over Sena-
tors are Quay men while the majority
of the House has been opposed to
Quay'o reelection. Many of the
representatives who have been array
ed with Quay have done so against
the expressed wish of their constitu-
ents. 1t is easily forscen that Quay
will never be elected u. S. Senator
again.

Chadbourne. a wealthy young society
man, was accidentally shot on Wednes-
day afternoon and is dangerously
wounded Two weeks ago he went to
Blsbee 10 take a position with the cop
per mining company. Last Wednes-
day, accompanied by a friend, Sam
Hayhurst, Chadbourne crossed over
into Mexico. They went to a ranch in
which Hayhurst is interested and went
into the yard to practice shooting. AS
Chadbourne was drawing the revoiv-
er from his pocket he accidentally
pressed the trigger. The sight of the
revolver caught on the waistband of
his trousers and the weapon was dis
charged. The bullet entered the abdo-
men and took a downward course to
the right. Chadbourne mounted his
horse and rode to the American custom
house, quarter of mile away from
the ranch. The officers did what they
could to stop the flow of blood and a
courier was sent to Bisbee. twelve miles
away. for a surgeon; but Chadbourne
believed. as did his attendants that he
would die before assistance could ar
rive. He called for writing material,
made a WILL and gave some final in
structions. then lighted a cigarette and
clanly awaited death. The wounded
man was brought here on a special
train and may recover.

DEATHS OF A. DAY.

ST PETERSBURG, Jan. 22-Gen Michael
Annenko1, the distinguished Russian engi-
neer. who constructed the trans-Caspian
railway, is dead.
The late Gen. Annenkofs, who was born
in st. Petersburg, in 1888, was a son of the
famous Gen. Michael Annenkon, and was
destined by his father for a military career.
In return for his services during the Polish
insurrection of 1855 he was promoted at
the age of twenty-eight to the rank of col
onel, and he remained for four years In the
immediate service of the imperial admins
tration. During the Franco-Prussian war
he accompanied the German army as a Rus
sian military attache after which he return
ed TO Russia to take part, under the orders
OF Gen. Skobeion, in the Merv campaign
Specially assigned to the work of con-
stucttng stategic railways, he soon distin-
guished himself in this direction and ulti-
mately completed the great trans-Caspian
line, begun by Skobeloff, personally super
intending the division between Samark and
Tashkend. This exploit was especially re-

of construction and the rapidity with which
they were carried on. OF late years Gen.

four and one-half million pesos, but
three hundred and fifty thousand go
directly to Spain in the form of PEN
sions- AS in all governments the ex-
penses are largely for salaries, ard the
Indignation Of the Porto Ricans is vast
that these salaries are, for the most
part, paid to citizens of Spanish birth.
Concluding. the report says:
The reorganization of all these va
rious elements in the Porto Rican So
cial system is an undertaking of enor-
nous difficulty, the extent of which
cannot be appreciated by any one who
has not seen the difficulties attendant
on establishing even a temporary mo-
dus vivendi- The task of simply MAX
ing laws which will conform to Ameri-
can methods in forces IN the United
States and yet will work in practice is
a work for the greatest minds, and the
knowledge requisite for such can only
be seen to be understood. Unless the
best men are put to this work and the
island not allowed to become political
plaything, Porto Rico will be worse or
than under Spanish jurisdiction
