QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. your mothers and gand-
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of u1di
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull ana
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can
get this reliable remedy at all drug
stores. Price 25c. and 75c.

The Wilson POstmastership.

Things are getting better when
strait democrats will voluntarily bear
testimony to the fact that a negro ep-
pointed to office by a republican is a
gentleman and in every way qualified

The above is from the Durham Her

in all things is one Of the fundamental
principles of democracy, and the fact
in an official Of the oposite PARTY and
has the candor and hon:s.y tC proclaim

paid. The Herald DOUBTLESS has refer

about as follows: TO start with we

~Flanagan's Duel.

When John Redmond, NJ. P, was In
America several weeks ago to attend
the meeting Of the United Irish League
he told the story Of Capt. Flanagan's
famous duel, says the Philadelphia
Ledger.
Capt. Flanagan returned TO England
from Malta, where he was stationed,
and according to the custom OF travel
ers. he was fond of relating the WON
ders he had witnessed. Among other
things he one day, in a public coffee
room, e~xpatiated on the excellence OF
living in general among the military
in Malta: but" q he. "as for an
chovies, by the powers there is moth
ing to be seen like them in the known
world.
Il have seen the a~nchovies." he re-
marked, grow on the trees with my
own eyes. many's the hundred times.
and beautifups the grove of them thai
the governor has in his garden on the
espianade."
4 gentleman present disputed the
statement hat anchovies grew upon
trees which the Irishman reaffirmed.
The lie vas passed, and the upshot
was an agreement to exchange shots.
The next day the parties met, they
fired. and Capt. Flanagan's shot TOOK
effect in the f1eshy part of his oppo-
nent's thigh, which made the latter
jump a foot from the ground and fall
fiat upon his back, where he lay for
a few seconds in agony, kicking his
heels. This being observed by the
Irishman's second, he said:
You have hit your man, Flanagan,
that is certain. / think not dangerous,
however, for see what capers he cuts.
"Capers, capers," exclaimed F1ana-
gan. BY the powers, what have /
done? What a dreadful mistake" And
running dp to his wounded antago-
mist he oOk his hand, pressing il
eargerly, and thus addressed him.:
MY dear friend, if you are kilt, !
ak your pardon in this world and the
next, for l AVE made a bit of a mis-
take; and it was capers 1 saw growing
upon the trees Of Malta and not an
chOVieS at all"

further the note intimates a disapprov-

the Legal right of the allies to close

accomplished without protest on our
part, only after a formal declaration Of

ANTITRUST BILL.
Stated That 1t is Practically Com
pleted---What 1t Contains.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The plans
for the antitrust bill to be introduced
in congress and passed next winter, &C
cording to the administration pro-
gram, have been practically completed.
The proposed laws on enforced testi-
mony of trust officials and the trusts
own books, will compel the corporation
to pay three times the actual damage
suffered to any middleman, retail deal
er or other person or firms hurt by
trust competition. The trust must pay
all the lawyers fees, witness fees and
other expenses incurred by the injured
party.
The proposed law means that men
like j. p. Morgan, J. W. Gates, }. d.
Rockefeller, G. NJ. Schwab and Andrew
Carnegie can be brought on the witness
stand and be forced TO tell every detail
of their business, in spite of the consti-
tutional prohibition against forcing a
man to incriminate himself in court.
In al! prosecutions, bearings and pro-
ceedings, no person shall be excused
from testifying, or from producing
books, papers, etc.. before the courts of
the United States or the commission.
ers thereof. on the ground that such
evidence, documentary or otherwise,
may lead to criminate him or subject
him to a penalty or forfeiture; bnt no
person shall be prosecuted on account
of any transaction, concerning which
he may testify.
Good lawyers say such bill is un-
constitutional, but President Roosevelt
is determined to have such law, even
if the constitution must be amended to
make the scheme valid.

HE WILL NOT TALK.
Lieut.. EmmOns Refuses to Say
What He Found In Alaska.

Seattle, Sept. 22.-Lieutenant 6. T.
Emmons absolutely refuses to discuss
the Alaskan boundary situation upon
his return from trip of investigation
into the interior of Alaska. He dis
covered the ancient Russian boundary
marks along the line dividing Alaska
from the British possessions, and now
is on his way back to Washington to
make report to the secretary of state
upon subsequent investigations.
Lieutenant Emmons' unqualified re-
fusal to refer to the question plainly
indicates that important developments
may be expected as soon as his report
makes its way through the regular Off
cial channels.
Upon the report of Lieutenant En-
mons the Alexander archipelago forest
reserve was recently created, but the
lieutenant says the provisions govern
ing its establishment differ materially
from those creating other reserves in
the Uni!ed States. Settlement is not
to be restricted and mining is to be en-
couraged rather than otherwise. The
full grown timber may be cut under
certain conditions.

GREAT LOSS OF STOCK.
Twenty-Five of Forty Cars in Cat

twenty-five cars of stock were derailed

ing the day, and about 500 animals
were killed. The train wds eastbound,
and had turned out onto the switch.
and it is supposed that the wheel OF
one truck struck the end of the switch.
Out of over 40 cars % were thrown into
an indiscriminate heap and the work
of clearing the track so that trains
could pass was not completed for hours.
The scenes at the wreck were terrible
and living animals were piled up, in
jured in every conceivable manner. and
there was no possibility of either re-
lieving or killing them. About SO cat
tie and 100 horses were saved, and
many of the others are still living be-
meath the pile of wreckage.

ABOLISH SUB-TREASURIES.
New Financial Scheme to Be Pro-
posed to Congress.

Washington, Sept. 22.-By the time
congress meets in December there Will
be developed an entire new financial
policy, which will have the sanction OF
the administration. 1t involves no
more nor less than the abolition of the
entire subtreasury system and the sub
stitiuton of national banks as govern
ment repositories wit discretion
vested in the secretary of the treasury
to determine the kind of securities to
be accepted, thus eliminating the gov
eminent bond as the only basis for cash
loaned.
Receipts by the government from in
to the banks without interest if this is
done before the money gets into the
treasury or one of the subtreasuries.
Under the new financial policy to be
submitted to congress there is no doubt
that it will permit of the active use of
the present funds idle in the treasury.
1t would permit the government, in
effect, to deposit all its available cash
balance in the banks exactly as any
other bdsiness concern would do, COM
paratively speaking, for the daily needs
of the government. The difference be-
tween the government deposits in the
banks and those of private concerns
would be that the government will be
secured by holding the best assets of
the bank for its own naturalization
so that if the secretary Of the treasury
did his duty properly the government
would be secure against loss.

SOUTH AFRICA PAYS.
Colonies Will Be Levied on For
Cost of Recent War.

London, Sept. % The Daily Mail
says the government has decided that
the new South African colonies are to
be required TO pay $500, 900, 900 toward
the cost of the South African war. The
colonies are, however. to be allowed
ample time in which to make the pay
ment.
1t will not be collected until the ex-
tension of trade and expansion of rev.
enue permit. Consequently the loan
will not be aoated for two or three
years. Mining profits will probably
be taxed 10 per cent. more than they
were before the war, and money will
also be obtained by granting all kinds
of concessions and mineral rights.
