Grace Holmes Locates Another Dead BODY
PEORIA, Ills, March 27.-Yesterday
Grace Holmes located another dead
body in the Illinois river. Two months
ago this wonderful little girl declared
that the body of Mrs. Sommers was in
the river and stuck to her story although
few people paid any attention. A week
ago, while dredging, the body of the
woman was found about 500 yards be-
low where the girl at first declared it
was located Saturday last she made
an attempt to locate the body of negro
who was murdered over "a week ago,
but failed. Yesterday she went out
with a few men and was rowed to q
point in the river where she stopped the
boat and said: ''Ihe body is within a
hundred feet Of this point" Dredging
was commenced and the body was found
about go feet lower down.

The passengers on a Maine central
train were greatly amused one night
last week, by a little domestic drama
which occurred between the father ana
mother of a family. The woman sat
with two children in the head end of
a passenger coach, from Wnich She
could plainly discern her husband. who
was sitting with another man IN the
smoker Pretty soon to her apparent
horror, she saw her husbands friend
offer him Il drink out of generously
proportioned flask. 1t was too much
for her, and she marched firmly into
the smoking car. and just as the err
ing one was about to raise the Dottlc
to his lips for a long and satisfactory
pull, he felt himself graSped violently
by the collar and lifted from his seat.
The wife led her better CD half back
into the coach, where she slammed him
down into seat as if he had been
about ten years old and slapped his
mouth. The poor mans feelings were
so hurt that he wept violently. though
his grief seemed to make no impress
sion upon his hard-hearted spouse.

The Triumph OF the Puerto Rican Bill.

The passage of the Puerto Rican
| tariff bill by the House is a Repubii-
can triumph that means much. Its
| passage is q brilliant example Of Re
| publican party discipline and Of Re
publican parliamentary leadership, and
work as promptly and well. The Re
publicars who opposed the bill when 1t
came up for final passage Were very
! few in number and We're met by an
equal number Of Democrats who voted
for the bill. Had these Democrats
who voted for the bill, voted against *
with their party. it would still have
| had a passage by Republican voters
! alone. 1t is much to be regretted the
! bill could not have had the support Of
| the solid Republican majority, being
an administration measure and de
signed to meet the urgent demands of
the Puerto Rican situation.
The bill is a provisional, not
| permanent. measure. 1t extends over
only two years. and by that time The
! problems which have now arisen as to
| the regulation Of Puerto Rican COM
merce and the raising Of revenue for
| the islands expenses will have worked
| themselves ont. The l. per cent. duty
which is imposed will in no way inter-
| rupt Or hamper commerce between
! Puerto Rico ana the United States.
while it will produce a good amount
Of ready cash. every cent Of which will
| be devoted to the development and
! government Of the island. Moreover
the establishment Of this tariff rate is
a precedent on the side Of safety which
will be appreciated when the future Of
the Philippines and Cuba is more fully
considered by Congress. This bill may
not he an ideal solution of the Puerto
| Rican tangle; it is not the legislation
which President Mckinley and thc
congressional leaders had looked for
| ward to. a few months ago. But Il
| closer study of the islands revenue
| needs and commercial condition. the
| testimony of Governor Davis and the
leading men Of the island and a
| clearer understanding of the general
question of our relations with our new
possessions made it evident that free
| trade with Puerto Rico at this time
was impractical ard inldvisable. SO
an honest and consistent change Of
front was made. and the country will
hold the Republican party in
greater respect for its ac-
ton. History will show that
the action Of the House on "Wednesday
was the wise and proper course ana
the best thing that could be done for
| Puerto Rico's welfare.

The denomination OF Mayor Lane.

That the Republicans of Augusta
should again select Hon. Samuel W.
Lane as their candidate for mayor was
expected Moreover the compliment
paid to his popularity and the success
of his first administration was fully
deserved, and the action of last eve
ning's enthusiastic and harmonious
caucus will be handsomely endorsed
bv the citizens of the city at the polls.
March u.
The administration of our munlclpal
affairs for the past year mas peen
strictly businesslike and eminently
satisfactory to the taxpayers. The
watchword in every act involving the
expenditure of money has been econo-
nv. Mr.. Lane has been mayor in
deed as well as in name. and no mayor
in the city's history has given more
time and personal attention to the
duties of his office. No emergency
has been too large for him to grasp.
and no duty too unimportant for him
to attend to. His long experience in
city government affairs made him ex-
ceptionally well qualified for his office
when he entered upon it, a year ago,
and for the year to come he will be
even better fitted to serve the interests
of the city. Augusta is well pleased
with the work Of Mayor Lanes ad-
ministration ana has no desire for a
change. Whatever opposition to him
develops at the polls will be of the
most perfunctory party nature.

burrows

A farmer is known by his furrow as
"the carpenter is known by his chips" 1t
takes a firm hand and true eye to turn
a straight frlrrow No wonder the farmer
wears out, spite Of exercise and fresh air.
One days work on the farm would tire
many trained athlete. And the farmer
works hardest of all. The first up and
the last to bed, feeding his team before
he feeds himself, his work is practically
never done. Why does not the farmer
treat his own body as he treats the land
he cultivates? He puts back in plios-
phate what he takes out in crops, or the
land would grow poor. The farmer
should put back into his body the vital
clements exhausted by labor. If he does
not, he will soon complain of rpoor
health" The great value of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is in its vital
izing power. 1t gives strength to the
stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the
blood. 1t supplies Nature with the sub
stances by which she builds up the body,

the substances that build up the crops.
