Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked, In what
way are Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets superior to pills?n Our answer is;
They are easier and more pleasant to take,
more mild and gentle in effect and more re-
liable as they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorate the stom-
acb and leave the bowels in natural con-
dition, while pills are more harsh in effect
and their use is often followed by constipa-
ton. For sale by A. S. Marshall, Wood

PUBLISHING THE LAWS.
Newspaper Comment.

If it is worth $4,000 to the people of
New Jersey to have the Legislature rush
through the mill and dump upon the
executive three or four hundred laws, it
would seem to be consistently wise use of
money to expend 5000 more in placing
these enactments before the public in the
shape of comprehensive digest, as pur-
posed in the law vetoed by the Governor.
The principal objection to the proposition
seemed to be that it might benefit few
poor newspaper publishers, but this Incl
dental consequence would hardly seem to
justify the Illustration of an otherwise good
purpose.

Governor Murphy signed the appropria
ton bills on Friday, approving every item
except the $25, 600 for publishing the laws
in synopsis form, in the newspapers. The
bill for publishing the laws passed botl
houses by almost unanimous vote. The

The pamphlets are laid away unused and
not one person in a hundred ever sees
them. The sentiment of the people is fol
change, and it is bound to come sooner OF
later. We have had number of inquiries
from readers as to whether the laws would
be published this year or not.

The "water cure" as applied in the

Another swindle.

Farmers in the upper part of the State
are being victimized in novel way They
are visited by two strangers who make a
proposition to buy the farm, and while
looking the place over they stop at a
secluded spot, offer the farmer some liquor
containing Knockout drops and he soon
falls unconscious. He is then robbed and
left to care for himself.

AS the repair of county roads is sure to

Labor unions are making vigorous pro-
test against the Beef Trust, and assert an
incontrovertable truth that through mer-
cenary motives this aggregation has forced
the price of meat up to point where the
average workingmen are unable to purchase
sufficient food for their families, and call
on Senators and representatives to vote for
the bill to remove the tariff on fresh meats.

CONSERVATION reigns among the Republ
has been made that the thumb screws have
been turned too far, and the native indie
pendence of some members has at last
found expression. President Roosevelt is
reported to be in frenzy at the revolt in
both Senate and House, and Boss Hanna
and Speaker Henderson are completely
panic-stricken. But this condition at
Washington isn't marker to the revolt
among the people, the full extent of which
will be realized next Fall. They are
learning that Trusts are not a good thing
for them.

for the election of a Democrat at the next
election Mr.. Hogg said:-

Fill or anyone else-as sure as l live, our
next President will be a Democrat. Do the
Republicans think they can take such men
as Schley, Miles and Dewey and rake them

they can take our best men and slaughter
them the way they have been doing, and
then smooth toe whole thing over when the
time for election comes ?''

BREWERS MUST PAY LICENcE.

Judge Stone handed down a decision
last week that means a great deal TO
brewing companies outside of the
state that do business within the state
The case came up in the Delta county
circuit under the title of The People
VS. Clayton Voorhis.
The defendant in the case is the
agent, at Gladstone, Of the Minneapolis
Brewing company. The beer has been
shipped TO him from Minneapolis and
put in cold storage, from which later
il has been distributed among the sa-
looms which patronize the brewery.
Neither Voorhis nor his company have
ever taken out a license, and il was
contended by the counsel for the de-
PENDANTS that the terms OF the statutes
did not require that either of them do
so. voorhis, however, in accordance
with the findings of the court is found
guilty Of having technically violated
the liquor law. but Judgment is sus-
pended pending action by the higher
tribunal, which is certain to be asked
to review the proceedings.
In brief, the court holds that brew
ers who manufacture their product
outside the state are liable to the an
ual $500 wholesale license at each and
every town in the commonwealth where
they sell beer through an agent. The
decision is ba sed on the Wilson bill a
mendment to the Interstate commerce
law, approved in August, 1890, under
the terms of which beer, when brought
to the state from outside points for
the purpose Of sale becomes subject to
the police laws OF the commonwealth
and cannot be sold unless the right to
so do has first been secured by payment
of the tax provided by the state statutes,
1t was claimd by counsel for the de-
fendant that should outside brewers be
taxed the $500 for the wholesale license,
il would be discrimination against
him. since 500 which the home brewer
pays for his manufacturer license
gives also, the right To sell. In ans
wer TO this, il is set forth that the non
resident has the same privilege of man
ufacturing beer within the borders Of
the state as has the resident, and that
therefore there was no discrimination
Should the decision stand and it is
a notorious fact that Judge Stone 5 de
cisions usually stand, it will effect the
Pabst and Blatz companies doing bus
mess in this city.

ASKS FOR $4,000.
Sa me Proposition as Before to Be Sub
mitted TO Voters.

AT the meeting of the city council
held last Monday evening a resolution
submitting bonding proposition TO
the electors was introduced and a
dopted. The resolution calls for $22, :
900, the same amount as was submit
ted last December and lost for want Of
requisite majority. In addition,
there is an estimate for 81, 600 TO be
used in extending the water mains to
Maple Grove so that the issue, If car
ried, will really amount to $25, 600:
There has been much change of o.
pinion since the question was submit
ted 10 the electors last winter. Several
additional estimates have been had on
a plant and all of them fall within the
$22, 900 limit Besides, the electors
have been digesting the letter Of Mayor
Wehse, issued soon after the defeating
Of the former measure, and they are
beginning to see that AN Issue of $s5.
900 will put our bonded Indebtedness
at the $50, 900 notch and few care to
increase the taxes higher for interest

ance and fell to the pile below, a dis
tance of 30 feet. He struck on his back

custom always has been in this county,
and we notice that it is the same in

is new to the work, evidently did not
