People with good blood possess strong,
steady nerves and are blest with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. II we could
always maintain the purity Of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but 1t becomes infected and
poisoned and most Of the ills that afflict
humanity and undermine the constitu-
ton are caused by an impoverished
or polluted condition Of this vital fluid.
When the blood Is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and the
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full Of
pimples and splotches. Itching, scaly
eruptions, biackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and Is not supplying proper nourish-
ment TO the system. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion. restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
sluggish. impure blood than any other
cause. To build up the blood, restore
and nutritious again Is the only rationa

Things dou't look very nice for
Lieutenant Governor Lee. The
alum repeal bill passed the House
and when it came up i'll the Senat,
there was n tie vote, and he, rs
presiding officer of that body, cast
the deciding vote which killed,
it. He voted just rs the agent
for the Baking Powder Trus,
wanted him to vote, and the agent
drew II check for 81 900 bill il
the name of the Lieutenant Gov,
ernor's brother, with instructions
to the latter to pay it to his Official
brother. There is query in the
public mind whether Lieutenant
Governor Lee would ever have
"peached' if the investigating in,
quiry hadn't gotten u little warm.

That the statute books OF the
| nitrl States contain sufficient
law, # enforced, 10 at least RESTRAIN
the trusts, If not 10 practically
abolish them, was clearly demon
stratcd last Friday when the
United States Circuit Court OF Ap.
prals handed down its decision III
the Northern Securities merger
case. Mt St Paul. National opinion
comedies that the Judgment OF the
court is one of far reaching conSe-
1ucncrS. and one calculated to free
this country from the hateful op
preston of the railroad monopoly.
The Northern Securities Com
pany is merger Of the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and Bur.
lington railroads, with James j.
Hin ut the head. These transpor-
tation lines were parallel and com.
peting companies until the merger
was effected in the year 1901. BY
this merger every vcstigc Of lawful
competition was destroyed, aud
Governor Van SAINT Of Minnesota,
realizing the far reaching effects Of
this combination, at once started
an agitation against it. How well
Governor Van SAINT forcsaw the re
suits of such a merger, has been
fully demonstrated by the similar
combinations which have followed
in its trail. Among the large
number of like mergers may be
mentioned the Frisco Rock Island
combination, lately ronsummatcd
the fusion Of the Gould systems,
ana the Southern Securities Com
pany, still in the embryo.
The law with which the govern.
mrnt tested the Northern Securities
company was the Sherman anti.
trust law, at which many shafts OF
ridirulc have been directed. Th,
Federal Court declared the merger
Illegal aud ordered that the stock
Of the different railroads held by
the merger. should not bt voted al
any election, thus rendering il
practically null and void, except rul
its earnings.
The decision has created constrr
uatiou among the magnatcs q
Wall street, and railroad stock
have slumpcd on the market NJ
less than 50 or 90 per cent of til,
railroad systems of the Unite,
States are up in the mir, ~ accord
ing to Mr.. Hill, the central figur,
in the combination. An appca
will be- taken to the United STATE,
Supreme Court, and with tina
tribunal of last resort lies the wei
fare and freedom of the American
people.
