"Having suffered for about two years with

had become greatly run down and she fell
an easy victim to LaGrippe. She awoke in

very nervous and uneasy and had heavy
pains IN the back of her head nd under
shoulder blades. BY noon she was so bad
that she was almost delirous and it was then
that l commenced giving her DR.. Miles
Nervine. She felt the effect Of the medicine
inside of an hour, and by evening she was
quieted so that, after taking full dose, she
retired and slept soundly all night. The
next morning she could not tell that she had
had the grip. This cure seems almost too
rapid to be true, but it is fact and
we think if she had taken the Nervine before
the attack it would never have come on.
Since then she has taken eight bottles Of
DR.. Miles Nervine and the nervous trouble
has entirely disappeared"

raising his legs from the floor and
throwing him. Keep your own head
down in doing this as much as possi-
bic. Keep 1t close against his body.
Unless he can break your hold he Is al
most certain to go down. The best
break for this underhold Is as follows:
When your opponent gets his hold
under your arms and around your
waist get your right arm around his
body, as near the waist as you can,
and get your left forearm beneath his
chin.
Press his head backward with the
left forearm and press toward you at
the same time with your right arm,
which is about his body.
This will render his underhold use
less and may even throw him IL per-

the elbows close to the side will pre-
vent a man from securing an under
hold.
An improvement on the underhold is
as follows: Get the hold as described
above and slip the right foot between
your opponents feet at the same time
in such a way that your right heel is
just behind his left heel. Thus he can
not throw back the left foot to brace
himself and your pressure is all the
more likely to throw him.
Often your opponent, either through
ignorance or confusion, will stand with
his feet near together. When he does
this you should feint. as II trying for
some upper hold. then stoop quickly,

and right foot braced; clasp him about

A good break for this is to bend sud-
denly forward, after your opponent has
caught you thus by the knees and be-
fore he has begun to life you. Catch
him about the waist, bending your
knees to do so, and try to lift his legs
from the floor. This is largely a mat

in time you will probably have no trou-

A we'll known and excellent trick is
that which sends your adversary back

plish ii, proceed as follows:
Close with the other man, whenever
he leaves an opening. Grab his right
wrist with your left hand and his right
biceps with your right hand. AS you do
this, pull him toward you, slipping
your body to the left as you do 3d. and
still holding his right arm imprisoned
across the front part of the body. Get
your right leg behind his left, SO that
your hip and the back of your right
leg will serve as lever. swing him to-
ward the left with a sudden motion,
pressing back with your right leg as
you do 50. and thus throw him over
your hip to the ground. Fall on him
then. your back falling on his chest.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, February q, 1eO'


The Republicans seem determined to
prevent the exercise of free speech in
congress, just as they attempted to pre-
vent free voting in the last election.
The epithets which they applied in that
campaign to the silver men-traitsr,
anarchist, fool, and the like-they now
apply to those who have the audacicty
to ask, on the floor Of the senate, for
information in regard to the methods OF
the United States authorities In Manila.
ory statements made by the president,
the only reply made is to denounce as
traitors those who called attention to
them. For instance, Senator Petit
grew was twice called a traitor in
congress recently because of the follow
ing remarks-remarks justified by Of
fetal documents: What do you think
Of president that will state that the
United States never did give gold for
peace, and never will, and then ap-
proves Of the treaty with the sultan Of
Sulu, which provides that we shall pay
to the sultan and to his subjects sum
which in all amounts to 5000 per year?
In view OF all these facts, OF what
future value is any statement the presi-
dent may make upon this subject? |

great sorrow that man can occupy so
high a position as that OF president OF

NO RIGHT TO APPEAL EXISTS
A Decision Adversely Affecting De-
partment Stores in the State
of Missouri.

jefferson City, No., Feb. 2.-The
state supreme court, in a decision
handed down on Thursday, denies the
right of appeal from Il decision in the
criminal court on a prosecution. The
decision, which was rendered by Judge
Sherwood. and ccncurred in by the
other judges, was made in the case of
the State against C. d. Brown, con-
yicted in Barton county on an informa
tion filed in the circuit court that he
was operating a gambling device.
He appealed to the Kansas City court
of appeals. which certified to the SUI
prrme court for settlement. The SUI
preme court dismisses the appeal. The
decision holds there is no law granting
such an appeal; that an appeal to the
supreme court might be taken in a
case where the defendant was convict
ed on a charge contained in an indict-
ment, but where the prosecution began
with an information filed by the prose-
cutor, the trial court was the court OF
last resort, and its judgment was final
and could not be appealed from.

authorizing the removal of the charge
of desertion from all soldiers of the
civil war who failed to secure an
honorable discharge. The report
against the bill closes as follows:
in view of the legislation already
enacted and in full force, of the rec
concentrations of the secretary of war
and of the most important and vital
fact that this bill practically proposes
TO break down all distinctions be-
tween actual deserters, not only from
the service of their country, but even
to join the enemy against their coun-
try's service; the bounty jumpers who
deserted from one command under one
rame and enlisted for bounties in 9th

tious names, and those true and faith
full soldiers who bore the heat and
burden of fearfully protracted war

were then honUrably discharged with

Bird That Kills CObras.

The British soldiers now in South
Africa have no doubt during their
marches come across a weird-looking
bird, something like an eagle on stills,
wearing a crest resembling a bundle
of quill pens sticking out from the
back of its head. This is the secretary
bird, or snake-eater, the "slangenvreet-
er" of the Dutch colonists. Those who
would like to see this curious bird
should pay visit to the zoo. He is held
in great esteem by the Transvaalers
and English coionists on account of his
partiality for snakes. When he and the
deadly cobra meet it means duel to
the death, and it is generally the cobra
that dies. The fight is exciting to wit
ness. The lightning-like darts of the
snake are parried by the birds long
wings, used as a most effective shield,
and, when the chance presents itself, as
a bludgeon. Once he has stunned his
dazed adversary the bird sweeps up
wards and descends with all his weight
upon his dazed enemy. and the fight is
over. Then dinner follows, in the shape
of the body of the vanquished, swal.

WOES OF ENGLISH ALMANAC.
In 1t Queen Is Threatened with ViO-
Ience and Heaps of Trouble
for America.

In one of the London astrological
almanacs may be noted some interest
ing forecasts in regard to the fortune
of European sovereigns and of the
United States during the coming year.
Predictions of this kind have been
made in these almanacs during the
last half century, and, if we are to be-
lieve the publishers, many of them
have proved to be true. However this
may be, they form novel reading, and
those in regard to the United States
will especially prove interesting to
Americans.
IF Queen Victoria, says the Lon
con astrologer, ''were ruler of any
other country but this 1 should pre-
dict a violent termination to her eX-
istence, but I cannot imagine that
there is anyone in these isles idiotic
enough to even think of Offering vlo-

Here are the principal predictions IN
regard to the United States: During
the first three months of the year
there will be "a heavy call for money
for increased armaments, naval and
coast defense, and much opposition to

fortunes will befall. hotels and thea
