(bsnson's Plaster ls Pains Mastar.l

3 For coughs and colds Benson's Porous
Plasters are an incomparably better rem
sdy than any other external or internal.
Their medicinal properties enter the skin
and go straight to the seat Of tho disease.
They relieve and cure seated" cold
without disturbing the system or upsetting
the stomach. Cough mixtures often nau-
seate. Benson's Plasters are medicinal in
the highest degree, and quickest to act.
Placed on the chest or back or on both
at once in serious cases, the good effect is
feltimmediately. The congestion yields, the
cough abates and the breathing improves.
Lung or bronchial affections or kidney
disease, are cured with the least possible
suffering and loss Of time.
: Benson's Plasters are immeasurably su-
perior to Belladonna, Strengthening, Cap
sicum or any other combination in plaster
form. They are also preferable to oint-
ments, liniments and salves.
Benson's Plasters have received .tfyy.fye
highest a,oards over all competitors; and
more than 5000 physicians and druggists
have declared them to be one Of the few
Trustworthy household remedies. For sale
by all druggists, or we will prepay postage
on any number ordered in the United
States on receipt Of 25c. each.

THE FHE!: JURY system.

4he American jury system is probably
the most beloved, the most execrated,
the most cherished, the most derided,
the most reVered and the most lampoon-
ed institution with which the great mas
ses of the people Of this country are in.
timately associated. The grim solemn.
ty with which great issues are submitted
for the consideration of men of mi.
nutest intellectual capacity; the prompt
ness with which men are dismissed from
the panel if confessing to the slightest
knowledge of the facts in pending con.
troversy, and the incon9ruous findings
which are frequently presented in open
court after long hours and perhaps days
pf tedious deliberation, are features
which have been we'll calculated to stir
{ the risibilities, inyite the shafts of ridi-
cule and surround the jury system with
"a certain amount Of reproach, and YET

today, the Senate discussed the army
reorganization bill The debate took
on wide range at times but was con-
fined principally to the question of the
necessity for the increase in the regu-
lar army provided for in the pending
measure. The Philippine question was
threshed over at great length, but few
really new points We're advanced. One
of the sharpest colloquies of the session
was between Carter and Wellington Of
Maryland, and in the course of it the
Alaskan boundary dispute was promi-
nently brought forward. Hoar adj
