voted against the pending currency bill

his democratic confreres.

sort of lovliness that all agree upon is the
beauty of health. No matter what her
features, no sickly woman can be attrac-
tive. Sallow skin, sunken cheeks pimply
face, hollow eyes, lifeless lips-these are
repellant. And they can nearly always
be traced to the one cause-womanly
weakness or disease. Almost all the ills
of womankind are cured if you put the
feminine organism into healthy, vigorous
condition. All sickness of women seems
to involve these delicate organs and so no
matter what the symptoms may be 1t is
best to look there for the real trouble.
All such disorders are completely and
permanently cured by DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t is designed for
Just this one thing and is the only prep
aration of the sort produced by regu-
larly graduated physician "a skilled
specialist in the diseases of women.

PAY OF THE POLICE.

Several well known gentlemen spent
an hour or more yesterday discussing
the subject of increased pay for our
policemen. Two of them figured what
each man gets per month, provided he
makes full time. or in other words,
stands duty every day or night in the
month. The amount is very small. and
then said they take from that the cost
Of their uniforms. and the many chart
table and other objects they are called
upon to subscribe to- and it lessons
their pay very materially.
The conclusion reached was tina:
there was not Il policeman on the force
who averages 81 80 per night. IL that
much, clear of limbs and knots" as
these gentlemen expressed 1t. 1t is un-
dcrstood that an effort will be made 10
get tho proper city authorities to look
more deeply into this matter.
