STRANGE Battle Experiences.

Governor Tod" said the colonel.
"organized as many new regiments in
his two years in Office as any other
state executive. He contributed great
" TO the good of the service by ap.
pointing 10 the new regiments officers
who had seen service in older regi-
ments. For example. Capt. Opdycke
OF the 41st Ohio was made colonel
of the 125th Ohio, which became
known in our division as Opdycke's
Tigers And they were good fighters.
That reminds me that one OF the TT.
gers received what he called jolt,
that put him out of the Tiger business
for half an hour.
This was at BuzZard's Roost, May
II, 1864. The Tiger had just raised
his Springfield rife TO his shoulder,
and after taking aim was just ready
TO pull the trigger when a musket
ball fired from rebel gun entered the
muzzle of his own rife. The effect
was 10 paralyze his arms and his rife
dropped TO the ground. On the same
day julius Byers of Co. K, SD Ohio,
was struck by a musket ball which
passed through both elbow joints, the
shock TO the brain producing instant
death. The doctors regarded the case
as one of the strangest in their ex.
perience. "-Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Wastes of the Body.

Every seven days the blood, muscles
and bones of a man of average size lose
two pounds of wornout tissue. This
waste cannot be replenished and the
health and strength kept up without
perfect digestion. When the stomach
and digestive organs fail to perform their
functions, the strength lets down, health
gives way, and disease sets up. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach aud
digestive organs to digest and assimilate
all of the wholesome food that may be
eaten into the kind of blood that rebuilds
the tissues and protects the health and
strength of the mind and body. Kodol
cures indigestion, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles. 1t is an ideal spring
tonic. Sold by f.. b. Longwell. N

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian tube When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. lG.-Sccre
tnry OF State, the Hon. WIN. NJ o. Dnw-
SON, who. with Governor A. B. White, is
ellampioning the cause of the famous
Tax Commissions bills, says:
There has been a decided change in
sentiment among the members of the
Legislature IN reference to the Tax Com
mission bills and the matter of tax re-
form, which is most gratifying and this
proposition to work reform in our sys.
tex of taxation will, in my judgment
continue to grow stronger and stronger
Till it triumphs in the. end. The peo-
pie are for n more equitable dstribu.
tion of the burdens of taxation and they
IRE making their views known to their
representatives. A number of delegates
and senators who have been To their
homes and have returned. have informed
me that the sentiment they encounter

matter in n different light and now fa-

The questionsof tnxation il n great
big, immense problem that requires the
hardest study and the most careful and
painstakfng Investigation. But it is
quite an attractive subject and the deep

The principles of taxation recom-
niended by the Tax Commission and re-
Eilected in the bills prepared by that able
body, are right principles and will tri-
nmph as sure as there is God in
Heaven. or as sure as yuu and i nre
sitting here conversing. There may be
few Bull Runs-there may be obsta-
eles and there may have been obstacles
that have prevented action ON the Tax
Commission's bills during the present
session, but the people see in them the
right spirit, fairness and Justice, mad
the privileged classes, as represented by
the lobbyists of great corporations here,
can stand up and combat public sentf-
nlent for a time, but not always.
Tile change of sentiment among the
members of the Legislature makes it
