Have you had LaGrippe? II you
have not, doubtless some of your
friends have suffered from it and you
have witnessed some of the terrible
tortures it can infict. You have
seen it suddenly and without warm
ing, sieze the victim in it's relentless
grasp and fairly wrench asunder the
f1bers of the nervous system. That
terrible pain in the back Of the head
and shooting up and down the spine,
the throbbing temples, the aching
back and legs, the soreness in mus
cles and bones as if bruised or beat
en-, the feeble pulse, the tottering
step-all these are familiar to you.
But have you noticed the after eff
fects of LaGrippe? Do you know
that it weakens the lungs, enfeebles
the heart, deranges the stomach and
bowels and seriously interferes with
all functional operations Of the body?

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
EuStachian Tube. When this tube is
inf1amed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
Stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Pet Banks.

Fayoring pet banks by the treasury
department of the United States is
not popular measure and the secre-
tary has fastened to correct his error
in as transformations way as possible.
There will probably be no con-
gressional investigation as the offense
has been removed and congress being
republican in character will be glad
to escape an unpleasant task.
But the action of the secretary of
the treasury will not be forgotten by
the people as it indicates the fixed
purpose of the republican administra-
ton to do all it can for the money
power irrespective of the rights of the
people.
To farm out the revenues of this
country, to place S300,0O0,OO0 in one
bank which could loan this vast sum
at 6 per cent. interest is to establish
an enormous bank trust capable o.
controlling the finances of the entire
nation.
This is what the money power wants
and this is what it will get in the
long run if the republican party il
allowed to remain in a position t,
dictate affairs at Washington.
To place such an enormous sum O
money in one bank is detrimental II
public welfare. For the present tn
danger is passed-but how about tn
future?-Ch Chicago Democrat

hicdqo Democrat.

1t was Senator Davis of Minnesota
who was quoted as having said: "We
can do anything we please with the
islands that have come into our pos.
session, and while passages of the Con.
stitution of the United States may be
debated for months on this question
1 am confident that whatever action
we take will be declared constitutional
by the supreme court. Wars produce
unwritten laws, and we are at liberty
to treat the islands as we please"
1t is a curious situation when even
statesmen in power can do anything
they please. Whatever the Constitu
ton says, tive can do as we please
"As we please" has sinister sound

REGIMENT OF DUTCH.
A Colony in Sioux County Is Said to
Be Sending Drilled Men to Join
the Boer Armies.

An entire regiment of soldiers is said
to be en- route from the Dutch colony
in Sioux county to join the Beers in the
Transvaal. If seemingly well authenti-
Gated accounts are to be believed, the
organizers of the force are not attempt
ing to send the entire body to the seat
of war at once, but are content to ship
them out three or four at time by diff
ferent routes.
The recruits were not all gathered in
Sioux county, but the money to hire and
equip them was all raised in or near
Orange City and Sioux Center. That
drilling has been in progress in remote
parts of the county for some time is
certain, though much secrecy was OBJ
served. 1t is said that only picked mer
have been accepted.

IOWA STATE NEWS.
PARDON FOR CoNv1cTs.
But Four Murderers to the
State Legislature.

Gov Shaw will submit to the legis-
ature the cases of but four life convicts
asking for pardon. They are:
Thomas Kelly, sentenced in Lucas county
In 1856
John Bellew, sentenced in Webster coun-
ty in 1894.
Cornelius Moelthen, sentenced in Du-
buque county in 1878.
Jasper Mason, sentenced in Dallas coun-
ty in 1876.
Twelve or Is life convicts petitioned
for executive and legislative clemency.
Among them were the Rainsbarger
brothers, who were sent to prison from
Marshall county, and concerning whose
expected effort to secure pardon from
the legislature much sensational mat
ter has been printed. John Wesley Ell
kins was also another petitioner. He is
the boy who killed his mother and faith
er when he was II years old These and
the other petitioners, except the four
named, Gov. Shaw determined not to
present to the legislature.
A curious 1ooseness of expression OBJ
tains in the law relating to the pardon
of life convicts in Iowa. 1t provides that
the governor shall not pardon such con-
victs until their petitions are referred
to the legislature. Every governor has
construed this to mean that the gov
ernor cannot pardon until the legis-
lature recommends to him that those
whose petitions are submitted to it
shall be pardoned. But the law plainly
does not require the executive either to
await the recommendation of the legis-
lature OF. to observe it's recommends
tons; nor does it prevent the governor
from pardoning persons whose pardon
the legislature refuses to recommend.
1t is probable that an effort will be
made to have the law made clearer.

dead, the physical weakness, mental
apathy and depression of spirits re-

"Thirty-six years of hard work to raise my
family and at the end to see them all taken
away from me quite unnerved me, SO that
when LaGrippe got me in its clutches three
years ago, I was treated very roughly. When
the first attack was over found myself on
the very verge of insanity. My nerves were
so unstrung that could not control myself to
utter sound and the least noise caused ex-
circulating agony. My stomach was SO weak
that nothing could remain in it long enough
to do me any good and my heart auttered
continually. When I began taking DR..
Miles Nervine my mind became clear, my
nerves grew steady, my stomach was
strengthened and was saved from an exist
