MAY ABANDON THE MINE.
Done Toward Cleaning Up
Cave at Bulls Head.

Nothing was done yesterday at the
Bulls Head colliery towards clearing
up after the extensive cave-in of
Tuesday, and there Is possibility
that the mine may be abandoned by
its present owners, Messrs. whiteford
and Burr who are said to be seriously
considering this question.
The cave-in covers such large
area directly at the foot of the shaft
that the work of preparing the mine
for work again would, 1t is said, be
exceedingly costly, and this fact may
lead to its abandonment. Nothing
definite has as yet been decided upon,
however. regarding this. There was
no spread of the cave yesterday.

From the New York Sun. ME
 The question, why does a person buy one book rather than another at the bookstore?" was discussed in the Sun re- gently from the standpoint of the sellers of books. The other side of the ,ques- ton, the viewpoint of the buyer, is re- fected in an extensive correspondence which President Robert G. Cooke of the Grafton Press has had with book buyers in many states and in Canada and Mex ico.
 MT Cooke was formerly connected with the Appletons and the Harpers. In the course of his affairs he conceived de- sire to learn from buyers what influences led them to select particular books in the general line classified as current lit- erature, and he began widespread cor respondence looking to this end.
 His wish was to have representative popular opinions. It was not his aim to secure the views of collectors, but to learn what influenced the general buyers. But he did not want indiscriminate responses which would be valueless because of ig- norahce of their source, so he set out to bring himself into a certain sort of per sonal relationship with the persons whose views he wanted.
 He turned to his university connec- tlOnS, SelecllnB lTOIl dIioLB bhc bthi6h graduates men who were widely scat tered over the country, picking out per sonal friends where possible and in other instances falling back upon college loy- atty: and to these he wrote explaining his scheme and asking them for lists of per sons known to them in their respective towns or counties who were purchasers of books.
 He then addressed the latter persons, telling his reasons for writing and ask ing them what influences guided them in their purchases of current literature. As he did not ask permission of his corre- spondent to make their views public he does not feel himself at liberty to publish their names, but reporter has made extracts from the letters.
 A Captain in the army at St. Paul. Minn., wrote: '1 give it as an opinion that book reviews in magazines appeal with more force than announcements of any other character. Display advertise ments do not impress me as favorably as a candid review. The say SO of the li- brarian is apt to carry weight, and in much greater degree the announced ap- proval of a Gladstone, a Kipling. Lew Wallace, etc, but above all, l believe my reading Is determined by the opinions and expressions of friends as much as by other causes combined Why should not the publishers themselves say what they think of the books they put out and stand or fall accordingly?"

HAD A FOOL FOR A CLIENT.
Supreme Court Mad Serious Ruling
 On a Playful Statement.

From the Galveston, Texas News.
 Speaking of unique cases in the laws" said a member of the Galveston bar, q am reminded of case which is often told by lawyers, and the beauty about the story is that it is well authenticated. It really happened. Lawyers have a fund of these things on hand for some of the most curious happenings in the world happen to the lawyer. But generally some young member of the bar, some limb, as the saying goes, will figure in the story. But in the case I have in mind 1t was an older man and one who had sustained a fairly good reputation as member of the profession. He became involved in litigation and fought his own battle. He won the case in the lower court, but it went to the supreme Court on an appeal. In the record the well known expression a fool for a client was used facetiously by the lawyer while urging his claims, and the expression went to the Supreme Nourt with the transcript The august judges laid aside their usual austerity and took advantage of the opportunity afforded to say some thing real funny, in the way that wit is judged when coming from the judic- iary. They examined the record carefully and picked out the expression about the lawyer having a fool for a client. The serious judges dilated somewhat at this point. Tt appears from the record said said the court in delivering the opinion, that the several grounds set up by the com plainant (who was the lawyer) are simply sustained by the proof in the case, and there seems to be no ground for in terference on the part of court of re- view. The finding in the lower court is sustained. and the case is affirmed in all the particulars. The lawyer got more than he bargained for, but he was prob ably lucky to get off so lightly. This is the only case I know of where a sane mans declaration that he was fool was judicially affirmed, and suppose it is the only case on record"

SUCCESS AND THE STORZAG GH.

The Koran only carries a step beyond the present, the applica- ton of a rule of success which is emphasized every day in this life success is largely q matter of stomacA. From the positive side this would be rather a difficult proposition to prove, because the man whose stomach is sound hardly knows that he has a ston1- ach. But the relation between success and the stomach is easily shown when the. negative side of the proposition is considered. There are many men stopped on the highway to success. Some are total failures, some creep along and lead a half life-but still must fail of realizing their largest ambitions. Why do they fail ? Because the stomach has given out. Food is no longer perfectly digested and assimilated. Inas- much as the strength and vigor of the body are supportedby the nour- ishment derived from digested and assimilated food, the body becomes weak (for the vital forces are de- pleted) as soon as the stomach and allied organs fail in supplying adequate mutation. Then comes a total or partial breakdown of health.
 If there is any one fact which more than another needs to be impressed on the rising genera ton, it is the relation of success to a sound stomach. It seems a splendid thing that young man shall starve his way through col lege, that he shall sacrifice his bodily cravings to a desire for knowledge. But is it splendid when the boy breaks down within sight of his goal or achieves his diploma only to be obliged to give up his future and live the life of valetudinarian?

Paradise and The Palate.

Mrs. A. Flackus, of Dairy, Klamath Co.,, Oregon, writes: with pleasure write to you to let you know the great benefit l have received from your Golden Medical Discovery and self treatment at home. For over a year suffered with pains in stomach, head ache, irregularity, constipation and in- digestion. had no appetite at all, and could not sleep, So it went on. for months, till one day I got dizzy, my heart seemed to beat as fast as 1t could, and I felt like fainting all the time. My heart beat I2o or I25 times in one minute. We went to the doctor; he gave me medicine, but 1t did not make my trouble any better. I thought l had to die; every night when l went to bed feared I would not be alive in the morning. So wrote to Dr. Pierce and he gave me his advice. I bought six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and four vials of the Pleas ant Pellets At first I thought the medicine did nle no good, but l kept on taking the medicines as you advised, and when I had taken five bottles of the medicine I was so well that 1t seemed I did not need any more. but still I took the sixth bottle. can say 1 was then perfectly well. The head aches, pains in stomach, heart trouble and all left me. I have had a good appetite ever since and can sleep we'll and do all my work"
 There is no alcohol in "Golden Medical Discovery" and it is en- tirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics.
 Persons suffering from chronic diseases are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All cor respondence treated as strictly pri- vate. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
 Sometimes a dealer, tempted by the little more profit paid by less meritorious medicines, will offer a substitute as "just as good" as the vDiscovery." It is the claim of one man looking for profit against the testimony of thousands who have found a cure in the use of uGolden Medical Discovery" You want the cure, therefore accept no substitute.

TIE DOCTOR ES REGHT.

"Golden Medical Discovery" is the best medicine for the cure of diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition.
 1T suffered for six years with con- stipation and indigestion, during which time I employed several physicians, but they could not reach my case" writes MT. G. Popplewell, of Eureka Springs, Carroll Co.,, Ark. rI felt that there was no help for me, could not retain food on my stomach had vertigo and would fall helpless to the floor. Two years ago I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and little Pellets and improved from the start After taking twelve bottles of the Dis covery' I was able to do light work, and have been improving ever since. I am now in good health for one of my age-6o years. I owe it all to Dr.. Pierces medicines.n
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery cures, through the stomach, diseases of other organs which have their origin in disease of the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition. We speak of uweak heart, oweak" lungs, aweak" kidneys, etc. Behind these diseases (and the cause of them :, is generally a "weak stomach.
 A uweak" stomach is stomach in which digestion is partial and imperfect. The nourishment is not extracted from the food eaten. Hence the body and its organs, which depend on nourishment for their strength, are only partially fed and must therefore grow uweak." When the stomach is made strong again by the use oi oGolden Medical Discovery" the food eaten is digested and assimil- ated, the body is adequately nour- ished, and the organs which had grown weak for lack of nourish- ment grow strong again because their nourishment is restored.

hundreds on farm and ranch in the wild west.
 Every physician knows that the common cause of ill-health is to be found in a deranged or diseased stomach. He knows it and he acts on his knowledge. Whether the disease present is of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys or any other organ, the first organ examined and treated is the stomach.
 But the physician does not tell you this as a rule, though some times physician of experience will frankly recommend "Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- cry" saying that the cause of dis ease is in the stomach and the best medicine for the cure of dis eases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition is "Golden Medical Discovery"
