The senators. who have determined
that nothing shall be done until the
beginning OF the next congress. have
accepted the situation. and the con
test between the White House and the
senate on the great question OF rail

vent action, If possible, but if brought
to bear the alternatiyesis to bring for
ward the compromise as contained in
the proposition for court OF inter

As the result of experiments in cross
ing sweet corn the New Jersey expert
ment station announces the production
Of new variety to be known as the
voorhees, sweet corn, the director of
the station having consented to this
use of his name. This variety is a
cross of the Mexican, black corn, and
the Egyptian, a white or amber, which
results in a beautiful pink when the
ears are picked green for cooking and
red when mature. Mexican is varie-
ty Of superior quality, while Egyptian
has both great productiveness and
high quality and is a leading variety
for canning purposes.
For the voorhees, are claimed the
good qualities Of both parents, to which
is added the pink color attractively
present when the corn is prepared fol
the table.
The voorhees, sweet corn Is offered
for distribution by the experiment sta
ton to the people of New Jersey
Each packet contains twenty-five
grains and will be sent free to any ad

)NE OF DIR. CUPID'S PRESCRIPTIONS.

That Love sometimes cures disease is
fact that has recently been called to the
attention of the public by a prominent
physician and college professor. In some
nervous diseases of women, such as hys-
terra, this physician gives instances where
women were put in a pleasant frame of
mind, were made happy by falling in love,
and in consequence were cured of their
nervous troubles-the weak, nervous sys-
tenn toned and stimulated by little DR..
Cupid became strong and vigorous, al
most without their knowledge. Many a
woman Is nervous and irritable, feels drag
ged down and worn out, for no reason that
abe can think Of She may be ever so
much in love, but Dr. Cupid fails to cure
her. In ninety nine per cent. of these
cases Il is the womanly organism which
requires attention; the weak back, dizzy
spells and black circles about the eyes, are
only symptoms. Co to the source of the
trouble and correct the irregularities, the
drains on the womanly system and the
other symptoms disappear. So sure of it
is the Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, proprietors of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, that they offer a $500 reward
for women who cannot be cured of leucor-
rhea, female weakness, prolapsus, OF fall
ing of the womb. All they ask is fair
and reasonable trial of their means of cure.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets clear the
complexion and sweeten the breath, they
cleanse and regulate the stomach, liver and
bowels and produce permanent benefit and
do not react on the system. One Is a
gentle laxative.

popular druggists, have succeeded in
getting the DIR. Howard Co. to make a
special half-price Introductory offer on
the regular fifty cent size of their cell
ebrated specific for the cure of consti-
patton and dyspepsia.
This medicine is a recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases of the stom-
ach and bowels. Itnot only gives quick
relief, but it makes permanent cures.
DIR. Howard's specific has been so
remarkably successful in curing con-
stipation, dyspepsia and all liver troub.
les, that Clifton & Raymond are will
ing to return the price paid in every
case where it does not give relief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing
with mineral waters, cathartlc pills or
harsh purgatives will soon be a thing
of the past. The best physicians are
prescribing DIR. Howard's specific be-
cause it really gives the desired re-
suits and on account of the small and
