I. F. SMITH & Co.
Gentlemen Some three years
ago | had very severe spell of
Sciatica, having had the same trou-
BILE periodically for several years
preceding that time, and each re.
curing attack grew more violent
and of longer duration. / used
one bottle of your Bile Beans, oc-
cupying about a month in taking
them, since which time have not
had single pain or symptom OF
Sciatica, besides they cured me
thoroughly of Chronic Constipa-
ton. / have recommended their
use to numbers of my friends, who
have generally been cured or very
greatly benefited. For Biliousness
and its train of troubles they have
no equal. OF course, you do not
need testimonials now that Bile
Beans are household remedy, but
you do not recommend them for
Sciatica which | think you should
do. You have my permission to
refer to me if you so desire.

January 9. 1S97.-Dear cir: | have been
thinking for some time of writing to YOU
as chairman OF the board OF trustees OF the
reformatory but in consequence of press
ing business here have been unable TO do
so. | beg now to make the following sug
gestions, which you can lay before the
board and superintendent
l. IL seems to Inc that there can be i'm.
proyement in the affairs OF, the institution
II the trend of the management is more
toward the reformatoTy than the prison.
OF course. understand very well that this
is the general purpose OF the management,
but il has occurred TO me that something
more in this direction could be done by
gradually ameliorating the prison features
and adding to the other.
. While | do not believe any of the
complaints that have been made against
the management, yet TO guard against the
appearance of wrong and to obvate criti-
cism. believe there should be no business
dealings between officials of tho reforma-
tc,y and relatives and none between the
mt nnRemeut of the institution and any OF
the officials themselves. II anything such
as this exists. while am sure nothing i'm
rrtTer has occurred yet 1t is to the in
terost of the institution. as we'll as every
one connected with it, that any apparent
opportunity for wrong doing should be
ron owed. Very truly yours,

THERE are all kinds of game laws
and additions and alterations to
present laws proposed. Game laws
is'a favorite subject with all legisla-
lures Neither the sportsmen nor
the farmers ever seem to be satisfied
and year after year they spring up.
with new laws. The trouble is these
two interests always clash in the
legislative halls and the result is
that the law finally passed offends
every one. House bill 66 repeals the
present law and limits the time for
hunting all small game to two
months, and deer to month and
half. House bill 16 amends the pres.
ent law by allowing game to be shot
and shipped out of the state for COM
mercial purposes. Another bill gives
the fish and game warden 81, 200
year instead of bonus and a title
which is now his sole recompense.
