A more pitiful sight than mother and
her child, both captives and shackled in
dungeon, could not well be imagined.
There are thousands of mothers and their
babes who lie shackled By disease in the
dungeon Of death.
Without knowing II, or having the faint
est comprehension Of II, the fault lies with
the mother. Too many women enter upon
the responsibilities Of wifehood and moth
erhood while suffering from weakness and
disease Of the delicate and important or
Rans that make wifehood and motherhood
possible. Awoman who suffers In this way
cannot be a capable wife and competent
mother. Before entering upon the duties
and responsibilities of these positions, she
should see TO il that her health, both gen.
eral and local, is thoroughly restored. Dr.
Pieree's Favorite Prescription Is the best
of all medicines for this purpose. 1t acts
directly on the sensitive organs concerned,
making them strong. healthy and vigorous.
It promotes regularity of the functions,
aIiays irritation and Inflammation, heals
liberation, checks unnatural and exhaust
ing drains and soothes pain. 1t tones and
builds ND the shattered nerves. II turns
the dangers and pains of maternity into
safety and ease. 1t is medicine that Is
intended for this one purpose only and Is
good for no other. Dealers sell i and no
honest dealer will suggest substitute

The McGrath Case.

The Statesman gives the following SYM
opsis OF the decision in lhe McGrath case :
The defendant was indicted aud con.
vleted OF murder in the first degree, for
killing a young man near Halsey. Upon
the trial he testified in his own behalf,
ard from his testimony it was inferred
that his wife fad beer crininally inii-
mate with the deceased. In rebutial,
the state called her as witness, and
against the defendent's objection and
protest che was permitted TO testify in
reference to that matter. This is the
principal error assigned.
The court holds that il lie q firmly es
tab. ished rule, grounded on principles OF
puhlic policy, that neither husband nor
vile is competent witness in a criminal
acIion against the other, except of p r
sGnal injury Of one to the other The
Judgmsnt OF the trial court is, tn ersfore
reversed, and q new tria, ordered.

MODERN
Caused by Weak, Exhausted Stomachs, Is
Almost Universal.

You. reader, would not permit your
%neighbor to call you out Of bed at mid
night and oblige you to walk the pave
ment for two or three hours every
night. You would not allow him 10
burn your hand wilfully, MOI to cut
your finger of, just to please him.
Why, then. do you allow your stomach
to cause you loss Of sleep, nightmare,
and continual suffering? Every dys-
peptic. every sufferer from indigestion,
b~iliousness, heartburn, waterbrash,
catarrh of the stomach and other stonl-
ach diseases, is a slave to his or her
stomach. There is one way-only one
-of breaking the chains Of this slav-
cry. That is by using Dodd's Dyspep-
STA Tablets.
These digest the food you have eaten.
They don't need aid from the stomach,
which is therefore given time to rest
and gain strength. They regulate the
bowels, which carry off the waste por-
ton OF tie food not used in making
blood. Thus the stomach is emptied
and prepared to receive the next meal.
No foul gas can form in the stomach
II you use Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets,
for the food is digested by them at
once and does not remain in the stom.
ach to rot and cause disease.

CHICAGO. Dec. %. Senator James X.
Jones. chairman Of Democratic national
committee. looked into party affairs at
headquarters in the Unity building dur
ing the day. He assured everybody
that the prospects for Democratic sue
cess next year were brighter than they
were in 1896. He said only w. j.
Bryan would be mentioned for the pres
ldency in the convention. The senator
would not say where or when he be.
lieved the convention should be held.
With regard to next years campaign he
said:
THE national convention will reaf-
firm the Chicago platform. 1t will de-
clare against Imperialism and in favor
of regulating trusts | think. too, that
it will condemn the efforts which have
become too common to control elections
by the use OF money. In my opinion
the passage of the bill establishing the
gold standard will aid us greatly.
