The Best Prescription Is Grove s
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up IN correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out Of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
original and that all other so-called ssTaste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
or other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Groves ts
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the

Original Poem.

Published by request.
Let dogs delight to bark and bite,
For God has made them so.
And lions too may grOwl and fight,
For tits their nature too.
But little preachers should not let
Their angry passions rise.
Thoir mission is to pilot us
Poor sinners to the skies.
Their duty Is to steer us clear
From all besetting sins.
But when they stoopto ''chew therag, ,
The devil always grins.
And call his crew about him
To dance and shout with glee.
There's fight among the preachers,
A SINNER.

Great SUlphur Producer.
This is the time for the skepti-
cal to visit the mines OF the Union

thousand tons Of Sulphur which
has been recently pumped from
one well. This we'll is IN = bed

80 per cent pure, with the pres
emit heating capacity there can
be melted radius OF about SO
feet, and the total output of the
we'll will rum up into gusher fig
ures.
The well is in perfect condition
but not pumping now, owing to
the water supply which is fur
nished by the Houston River
Canal Go. being shut on. There
lisa large crew Of men at work
making needed repairs, and bar
ring unexpected delays, this
well will be pumping again in
about three weeks.

ordered, and are expecting to
arrive daily, Is new boilers OF
15O-horse power each which will
be erected just north of the pres
emit power house. They are drill
ing a new Sulphur well, have

The demand for sulphur is
greater than the present output
and the price is at the top notch.

Tomorrow the voters of Waterbury will be called upon to choose q man to 20 to the constitutional convention. There is but one thing for the demo crats to do. and that is to vote and their votes should be for the demo- cratic candidate, Francis P. Guilfoile. This election is just as important i'll a sense as any that has been held in 2 long time. and every man should cast his ballot. Waterbury is q democratic city. and therefore should be repre- scented at the convention by I demo- crat. There is no reason why repubii- cans should be allowed to frame new constitution to suit themselves. The more democrats there are ill the con yention the more that party will get in the way of rights and privileges. Then again the democrats of the convention will probably get the votes of the dele- gates from the rural towns in many of the subjects that come before the body, as they are of the opinion that the republicans are trying to take away some of their rights. Such being the case it is important that as many democrats as possible should De clected to the convention Waterbury should surely be so represented, and the only way to do it is to come out and vote tomorrow.

The sugar question still looms up De- fore the president as very difficult thing to handle. To maintain friendly relations with Cuba. to effect some re- lief from her present commercial de pression, and to prevent her from re- garding the protectorate of the United States as q burden rather than an ad- vantage. and at the same time to avoid injuring our own sugar producing ln- dustries, is the desideratum, but it Is proving a most knotty problem. MT Henry r. Oxnard was in Washington last week and called on the president. He represented that the condition Of the beet sugar industry was most fiat tering, that under previous republican administrations it had made q most satisfactory growth, and he begged the president to afford to it the same de- gree of protection as had his predeces- sors.

In his annual report General Nelson A. Miles registers a protest against the usurpation of power by the war de partment in Washington. He says: ''While congress has made ample pro- vision for the management of military affairs in the organization of the army, whereby the companies, regiments, hrl- gades, divisions and departments gre made the units of administration, and by statute has clothed the officials, not only with executive authority, but with judicial powers and responsibility, yer the tendency has been to absorb aud usurp the entire conduct of the mili- tary establishment in Washington, al.d especially in the staff departments. This has been found most injurious in other armies and is one of the princi- pal defects in our own army" In his reference to other armies General Miles certainly has history on his side. It will be remembered that this ques- ton has been constant source of frlc- ton in the English army and that large portion of the suffering and lack of proper equipment of the army EIs- land sent to the Crimea was iue to the usurpation and bungling If incom- pentent heads of departments in the war office. Similar instances could be cited, and yet it is doubtful if General Miles's recommendation will accom- plish anything.

 William Dudley Foulke, the new civil service commissioner, has had several conferences with President Proctor and Commissioners Rodenburg and Harlow It is his expectation to remain in Washington for some days. He will assume the duties of his new office and will then return home for his family.
 The United States minister to Brazil, Charles Page Bryan, called on the president recently, presumably to learn his chances for reappointment. It will be remembered that Mir Bryan was ap- pointed four years ago and that he immediately applied for q warship to take him to his post, request that was promptly turned down by MT Roosevelt, then assistant secretary of the navy.

THE DUTCH PEOPLE.
Facts and Figures Which Show That There Has Been a Great Inn
 provement in Condition.

The Brussels correspondent of the London Times says that in the de- bate on the queens speech in the Netherlands states general, the pre- nier, Dr. Kuyper, gave facts and figures showing the improved con ditfon of the Dutch people. The av- craze Hollander, said Dr. Kuyper, was now taller, stronger, and more prosperous than he was 40 years ago. Savings banks accounts had increased seven-fold in 16 years, and private banks had doubled their capital in the same period. The sales of pawn tickets had decreased one-third in ten years. Imports, exports and steam tonnage had greatly increased.
 The premier instanced the self-re- straint of the masses in the recent elections, when feeling was intense, as proving the good moral tone of the Dutch people. The correspond ent observes that while Dr. Kuyper is severe Calvinist and conserya- tive, during the years he speaks of the government has been mostly in the hands of the liberals.

 and found guilty. He was then hung at the yard arm of his own ship, and sitter being allowed to swing there for some time his body was thrown into the sea. It was afterward found that he was convicted on false tes- timony.
 Hon. John Byng, a British admiral, was also charged with the same of fense. The court-martial acquitted him of cowardice, but decided that he had not done his utE2ost when in charge of the British fleet at the siege of Minorca. Sentenced to death, he was taken on the quarterback of his own flagship, file of marines was drawn up and Admiral Byng was shot.
 One of the most ordinary eases in American naval history, all though it did not involve an admiral, brought about the most sensational court-martial in this country. A com mander of a small American warship returning from Europe, when only one days sail from Sandy Hook, had two of the midshipmen hung at the yard arm One of these young gentle men was the son of the then secre- tary of war.
 An immense sensation was pro- dnced when the warship arrived in New York. A lengthy court-martial was held in Brooklyn navy yard, pre- sided over by Admiral Charles Stew art, grandfather of the late Charles Stewart ParneI.

ADMIRALS IN DISGRACE.
In OIden Times They Were Either Shot, Hung at the Yard Arm or

In o1den times the treatment meted out to admirals charged with disobe- dience was somewhat more drastic than it is to-day. They were shot on the quarterback, hung at the yard arm or thrown overheard.
 One of the most remarkable cases was that of Prince CaraccioG, a pop ular admiral of the British navy. He was charged by Nelson with treach- cry, cowardice and disobedience. He was tried by court-martial in 1905
