fill that exalted position. The party will
be for him. 50 viii the people. The
suggestion Is certainly happy one. The
state politicians have their eye on him
and some of those who are aspirants fear
him.

Question ofTime ANYWAY.

The depoSed former spectacular
corn king, George II. Phillips. is
writing series of letters. many of
which have been published. in which
he attacks the methods of the bucket
shops. He contends. that if Il man
wants to gamble on the price of grain
he should patronize the regular board
of trade. 1t may be preferable from
a grain gamblers standpoint To gam
BILE on the board of trade. but either
way il is certainly trying to choose
between the lesser of two eVils-two
very great evils.
If there is anything commenda BILE
in the former corn kings recon-
mendation to grain gamblers. it is
that by gambling on the board of
trade Of all accounts be true) the
gambler is separated from his money
with dispatch.

bic and timely suggest ions:
Hundreds of thousands of New
Englanders will visit the Louisiana

thousands will come from New York.

draws them will be the universal eX-
position. that attraction is not likely
To have their exclusive attention.
Those who visit st. Louis from the
east and south and west will all he of
an inquiring turn of mind. The mid
die west will be new to most of them
and they will want to see its re-
sources. In brief. the upper Missis-
sippi river. during the summer of
1904. ought 10 be the great highway
of travel. If not so rich in historic
associations as the Hudson river. the
upper mississippi. at least from Dav-
enport to ST. Paul. is certainly as rich
in natural beauty. Next to the worlds

be in the minds of visitors to ST. Louis.

went to Buffalo two years ago.

trolley system with hundreds of ears.
This water power is as exhaustless as
the Mississippi river and is second on
" To that of Niagara. There are
scores of places and objects of inter
est which those who travel to St.
Louis will be anxious TO see, and a
great number of them will not fail to
take advantage of the opportunity.
California on the one side and Florida
on the other are not summer meccaS.
There will be no competition of that
nature.
IF it be said that the steamboats,

A railway company was erecting a

One of the men engaged to fill in the
dirt and clear up around the piles was
an Irishman. He had not got beyond
his first pole, but stood bordering how
to dispose of the dirt, which had filled
the space now occupied by the pole
His sense of the fitness of things must
have been strong, for he was averse to
piling the loose dirt around the base
of the pole, as is the custom. A negro

$SS FOR WOMEN
WHO CANNOT BE CURED.

Backed UP by over a third of century
of remarkable and uniform cures, record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
case of Leucorrfea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
can not cure. All they ask is fair and
reasonable trial of their means Of cure.
Their financial responsibility Is well
known to every newspaper publisher and
druggist in the United States with most
of whom they have done business for over
q third of century. From this fact it will
readily be seen how utterly foolish it would
be for them to make the above unprece
dented and remarkable Offer if they were
not basing their offer on curative means
having an unparalleled record. No other
medicine than DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription could possibly twin out" as the
saying goes, on such proposition. But
they know whereof they speak. They have
the most remarkable record of cures made
by this world famed remedy ever placed to
the credit of any preparation especially
designed for the cure of wofnan's peculiar
ailments. This wonderful remedy, there
fore, stands absolutely alone as the only
one possessed of such remarkable curative
properties as would warrant its makers in
publishing such a marvellous offer az is
above made in the utmost good faith.

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH.
Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Disease
and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Hyomei Goes TO the Root of the Disease
and Makes Astonishing Cures.
Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of
pills, liquid medicines and so-called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live in
the air passages and increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific
and thorough way to cure catarrh,
killing the germs in the air passages. it
enters the blood with oxygen, destroys
the microbes in the blood and effectually
drives from the system all traces of
catarrhal poison.
given as to the astonishing cures made
by this remedy. j. S. Nugent, treasurer
of the American Union Life Insurance
Co., of New York city, writes: Hyomei
has completely cured my daughter of
catarrh from which she has been suffer-
ing for years"
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of
Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact that
DR.. w. II. Sheldon agrees to refund the
money to every customer who can say
Hyomei has not cured them.
Now is a good time to cure your
catarrh.
