Keep the Balance Up.

It has been truthfully said that any dis
turbance of the even balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up. When
people begin to lose appetite, or to get
tired easily, the least imprudence brings
on sickness, weakness, or debility, The
system needs a tonic, Graves it, and should
not be denied it; and the best tonic of
which we have any knowledge is Hood S
Sarsaparilla. What this medicine has
done in keeping healthy people healthy,
in keeping up the even balance of health,
gives it the same distinction as a pre-
ventive that it enjoys as a cure. Its
early use has illustrated the wisdom of
the old saying that a stitch in time saves
nine Take Hoods for appetite, strength
and endurance.

The Iowa Mistake.

The expected has happened in
Iowa. The "standpatters" got con-
troll of things down there in the last
convention, under the leadership Of
Mr.. Blythe, the representative Of the
Burlington road, Of whom the Re-
view Of Reviews says that he is re-
puted to have acted in Iowa as the
chief agent of the opponents Of
Roosevelt as long as there was any
possible chance of doing damage to
the presidents cause" Under the
leadership of Mr.. Blythe, Governor
Cummins, whose offense was an ex-
preston Of sympathy for those views
which President Mckinley SO ably
advocated in his last public utter
ance, was overthrow and the Iowa
republican party was placed In the
attitude of the most radical tariff
"standpatter" and compelled to dis
avow what the editor of the Review
of Reviews calls chose sensible and
progressive views which, whether
avowed or not this year, the repub-
lican party must adopt and act upon
in the congressional elections two
years hence or go down to humiliat-
ing defeat" ~
The Iowa demonstration Of the de-
termination Of the "standpatters" to
crush all tariff revision sentiment in
the republican party attracted gen
eral attention because in this state
there has existed a more distinct and
avowed tariff reform sentiment than
in any other strong republican state
in the union. It was felt that this
declaration of the republicans In
Iowa in their last convention could
not be taken as a fair expression Of
republican sentiment. That it prob
ably was not a truthful expression Is
appearing from protests which are
coming up in various parts Of the
state against 1t.
Advices from Iowa indicate that the
leaders of the party themselves are
beginning to recognize that a serious
blunder was made, and the extreme
probability that the national platform
will not sustain the Iowa declaration
| is a source Of no little concern.
| Iowa, WHICH, OIL OH SldISS Ill ZIG
union, should be most in sympathy
with progressive tariff sentiment, has
been placed in a decidedly unfortun-
ate position before the country. 1t
has probably adopted platform
which will last about six weeks, for
by that time the national convention
will have declared republican princi-
Piles and uttered a tariff plank more
| liberal than that which the Iowa lead
ers have committed themselves to.
AS the Review Of Reviews says, the
republicans are bound to repudiate
the Iowa platform within two years
If they expect to hold the next house.
The great pity is that leaders like
Senator Allison and Dolliver were not
able to protect the party from the
unfortunate mistake into which it has
been led by a faction whose sole pur-
pose was the humiliation Of man
who is certain to survive the tenn
porary defeat to which he has been
subjected. ~. III.

The Liberty Bell.

The verltable Liberty Bell Will ar
rive, under distinguished escort, in
Minneapolis, Monday afternoon, from
Philadelphia, where, in Its, its iron
tongue, in obedience to the mandate
in the fillets around it's crown, pro
claimed liberty thruout the land unto
all the inhabitants thereof" as soon
as old John Hancock had affixed his
bold, emphatic signature to the docu-
ment we call the Declaration of In
dependence"
Benson Losing tells pretty story
about the old bellman, who waited
anxiously up in the steeple with his
hands upon the bells tongue, chatting
under what he thought unreasonable
delay by the bewigged worthless be-
low in the performance Of the daring
work of declaring the colonial rights
and asserting that "all political con-
nection between them and the state
of Great Britain is and ought to be
totally dissolved" The old bellman
and the little blue-eyed boy whom he
had placed down below to give him
the signal to ring, are heroes who

canvas Of a great American artist. The
| old bellman and the blue-eyed boy, in
deed played most conspicuous and
useful part in the great proclamation
of liberty which thrilled, not only thru
the colonies, but turnout the entire
world, where the human race sighed
for civil and religious liberty. 1t is
a pity that the illustrious Poe, while
he was writing about bells, did not
present the iron bells as capable Of
uttering something besides funeral
and ghoulish monotones It is not
doing justice to the iron bells, notably
to the iron Liberty Bell, to say:
Hear the tolling Of the bells
| Iron bells!
What a world of solemn thought their
monody compels!
! In the silence Of the night,
| How we shiver with alright
! At the melancholy menace Of their tone
| For every sound that floats
From the rust within their threats
| Is a groan.
The old bellman introduced his own
1 fervor into the molecules Of the Lib
erty Bell and it's hundred thrilling
| notes came as a great swelling eu-
phony. a great, thunderous rapture of
| patriotism, to the mu1titudes below
in the streets. The old bellman and
the little blue-eyed boy are INSOFAR
ably identified with the old bell. The
crack in the bell testifies to it's stall
wart service.
Some people make the objection
that the bell was imported from Eng
land. They forget, however, that,
altho the bell came from England in
1853, it was cracked at it's firstStrial,
and was recast by a Philadelphia
firm, and 50. as it was the Liberty

Wheat Prospects.

Heavy rains and floods in the south
west put strength into the grain mar
kets this week, wheat making a sub
stantial gain in price. The traders
have not forgotten the southwestern
floods at this time last year and the
bull markets that followed. 1t can
not be denied that the wheat OUTLOOK
on the whole is far from favorable.
The winter wheat shortage Is already
known, but, officially speaking, we
know nothing yet as to spring wheat
Friday of next week will bring the
first government spring wheat report.
A year ago the June 1 condition was
above 95 and the acreage 17,247,0oo.
1t seems hardly possible that the con-
dition can be placed so high this year
and the acreage may fall under, not
withstanding the early indications that
there would be an increase.

Founder of Worlds Dlspensary In Buffalo
and of Or. Perce's Family Medicines.
DR.. Pierce went to Buffalo, N. Y, a
numbe of years ago an unknown
man, almost friendless, with no cap
ital except his own manhood, which,
however, included plenty of brains
and pluck, indomitable perseverance,
and Unborn uprightness, capital
enough for any man in this progress
i've country, if only he has good health
and habits as we'll.
He had all these great natural adj
vantages, and one thing more, an eX-
cellent education. He had studied
medicine and been regularly licensed
to practice as physician. But he was
still a student, fond of investiga-
ton and experiment. He discovered.
or invented, important remedial
agencies or compounds.
Not choosing to wait YEARLY for the
sick and suffering to find out with
out anybody to tell them) that he
could do them good, he advertised his
medicines and invited the whole pro-
fession of every school, to examine
and pronounce judgment on his form
ulas.
He advertised literally, profuseIy,
but with extra ordinary shrewdness,
and with a method which is in itself
a lesson to all who seek business by
that perfectly legitimate means.
His success has been something
marvelous-so great indeed, that it
must be due to intrinsic merit in the
articles he Sells more even than to his
unparalleled skill in the use of print
er's ink.
The present writer once asked a
distinguished dispensing druggist to
explain the secret of the almost uni
versal demand for DR.. Pierce's med
icines. He said they were in fact gen.
uine medicines-such compounds as
every good physician would prescribe
for the diseases which they were adj
vertised to cure. Of course, they cost
less than any druggist would charge
for the same article, supplied on a
physicians prescription, and, besides,
there was the doctors fee saved.
Moreover buying the drugs in such
enormous quantities, having perfect
! apparatus for purifying and COM
pounding the mixture, he could not
only get better articles in the first
| place, but present the medicine in
better form and cheaper than the
same mixture could possibly be OBJ
tanned from any other source.

serious doubts about the wisdom Of

emerge from the campaign with some re-
vised tariff revision views, like one of his
