Weighty Professional Endorsements.

That the several American medicinal
roots, the concentrated glyceric extracts
of which make up DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, have the strongest
kind of endorsement by scores of lead
ing medical writers of all the several
schools of practice, brief glance at
the standard works on Materia Medica
will show. Of Golden Seal root, which
is one of the prominent ingredients of
vGolden Medical Discovery ,"Dr. Roberts
Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical Col
lege, says: vVery useful as stom-
achic (stomach) tonic and in atomic
dyspepsia. Cures gastric (stomach)
catarrh and headaches accompanying
same" He also mentions catarrh Of
the gall duct, jaundice and constipa-
ton as diseases which the use of
Golden Seal root overcomes; also
catarrh of the intestines, even when
1t has proceeded to liberation, is
remarkably benefited by Hydrastis
Golden Seal root.
DR.. Grover Coe, of New York, SAYS:
"Hydrastis Golden Seal rootl exer-
cises an especial influence over mu-
cous surfaces. Upon the liver it
acts with equal certainty and eff
ficacy., AS a cholagogue oliver invig-
orator. it has few equals" DIR. Coe
also advises it for affections of the
spleen and other abdominal yiscera
generally, and for scrofulous and gland
ular diseases, cutaneous eruptions, in
digestion, debility, chronic diarrhna,
constipation, also in several affections
peculiar to women, and in all chronic
arrangements of the liver; also for
chronic inflammation of bladder, for
which DIR. Coe says rit is one of the
most reliable agents of cure"
Prof. Hobart A. Hare, M. D., of the
University of Pa, says of Golden Seal
root that it is vof service in chronic
catarrh of the stomach and bowels,
following abuse of alcohol, and as
tonic after malarial fever.n He further
says, it vhas a distinct anti-malarial
influence" Also vgood in all catarrhal
conditions, as uterine catarrh, leucor-
rh9a, etc., and as "a curative agent in
chronic dyspepsia"
Prof. Laurence Johnson, M. D., of
the Medical Department, University
City of n. Y, is equally loud in his
praise of Golden Seal root, especially
for Its tonic effects in convalescence
from acute diseases and its special
tonic influence upon mucous surfaces
and upon the gall bladder.
Doctors Barton and Tully recon-
mended Golden Seal root as a pure
tonic and as an Alternative in dis
eased conditions of the mucous men,
branes.
Prof. John King, M. D., late of Gin
cinnati, author of the AMERICAN DIS
PENsATORY, gives it prominent place
among medicinal agents, reiterates all
the foregoing writers have said about
it, as does also Prof. John M. Scudder.
M. D., late of Cincinnati. DR.. Scud-
der says: ut stimulates the digestive
processes and increases the assimilation
of food. By these means the blood is
enriched. X the CONSEQUENT
improvement on the glandular and
nervous systems are natural results
DIR. Scudder further says, uin relation
to its general effect upon the system,
there IS no medicine in use about aUhich
there IS such general umanimity of
opinion. 1t is umscersally regarded as
the tonic, useful in all debilitated

STATES BIG DEFICIT.
II Is Subject for Discussion by Two
State Officials.

from tuesdays Daily.
The trifling sum of $l,75O,0OO which
the state, since the first of the year, has
had to borrow from the banks with
which to pay its bills, promises to be a
lively topic of discussion before the next
legislature meets.
State Auditor IversOn calls it short
time loan and backs it up with the ar
gument that the touch" is good bust
ness policy.
The fact nevertheless remains, that
the deficit in the revenue fund has COW
cred a good part of the year and that
the call on the banks for funds began as
early as August.
The fact also stands forth that the
deficit is the heaviest in years, and
that the interest bill of $4,000 which the
state paid last year for the temporary
loan of some coin of the realm will reach
nearer $4,000 this year. The interest
bill will be two and one-half times
greater. This information is furnished
by the state treasurer's department, and
it is supposed to know.
While State Auditor Iverson contends
that this annual ''touch" is good bust
ness policy State Treasurer Block holds
the reverse.
''It is false economy" said Mr.. Block
yesterday, "and is bound to react.
Where does man eventually land that
keeps anticipating his next years sal
airy. The state is no different l do
not believe in piling up heavy balances
when they are not needed, but l do be-
lieve in keeping as near evens as pos
sible. | pointed out possible heavy
deficit in the revenue fund this year,
but there were others with figures to
show otherwise. | guess the members
of the state legislature see who was
right now. This deficit can be cut down
and an increase in the taxes will not
be necessary to do it. Economy in all
the departments can be practiced for
while and this borrowing feature will be
reduced to the minimum. l hold the
present condition and the way of meet
ing it is wrong. l have always held so
while have been state treasurer"
Mr.. Iverson looks for an early swell
ing of the depleted revenue fund through
the medium of taxes and other receipts
which begin coming about the first of
the year.

DEATHS FROM A COFFIN SUIT
Strange Happenings in Galveston;
Better Dismiss Case.

Galveston, Dec. l2.-Death from a
strange malady which physicians say
they have never before seen or heard of
has overtaken ten men who were con-
nected with the suit over a piece of
property given to an undertaken by a
widow in payment for her husbands
coffin. The belief is widespread in this
vicinity that the deaths are Judgment
from heaven. So terrifying have been
the manifestations of what is believed
to be divine wrath that even the coun-
ty officials refuse to have anything
more to do with the case, which prob
ably never will be adjudicated, at least
in the present generation.
The case is that of George E. Smith
against John Daley. Both men died
soon after suit was brought of the
strange disease which specialists were
unable to diagnose or treat. Then
Thomas Brick, the district clerk who
filed the suit, fell victim to the same
mysterious avenger.
Three lawyers participated in the
widows coffin suit" as it is called
Clegg Stewart, Forester Rose and Will
liam T. Austin. Within few days all
three became i'll and died of the peculiar
disease for which no remedy could be
found. Then Judge William H. Stewart,
who tried the case and who but few
days before had rendered decision in
the case, and granted a new trial, fell
victim, and in short time expired.
Alexander Bartlingcock and c. A. Sias
were employed to survey the land in
preparation for the new trial Scarcely
had they completed their task when
they fell ill and died.
j. f. Simons, the district clerk, laugh
ed at the fears of the superstitious, and
made preparations for the new trial On
Thursday last he died.

before the winter is over John Sharp
Williams and even some of the more
progressive republicans will find way
to talk tariff. 1t is going to be very
difficult matter to keep the question in
the background, as the democrats are
determined to harrass their friends of
the majority all they can on this ques-
ton. The 100 per cent tariff bill is a
pretty sharp stick, and already there
are signs that the stand patters do not
like it. They do not relish having the
word 90 out to the country that there
are such duties on the statute books.

MEN WERE DRUNK.
Those Who Burned Bibles Tuesday
Night Are Known.

From Saturdays Daily.
The parties who entered the Geramn
Evangelical church Tuesday night and
built a fire in the stove and burned
some of the Bibles and hymn books that
were scattered on the seats are known
to the officials, and are expected to be
placed under arrest this afternoon.
Sheriff Williams and Officer Robb in
tend to go after them with a warrant.
They are believed to be two men en-
ployed on the railroad grading work in
South Bend They went to work there
but short time ago, and are thought to
have been drunk when they did the
deed. The maximum penalty will be too
good for them.

DEADLY THRUST STAYED.
How Charles HaIfiII Saved the Life E
Woman.

from Mondays Daily.
1t ought to have happened on the stage
at the Grand that dashing young
rancher from California, with his peck
cts full of gold, lay sleeping beneath
a glistening stiletto in the hands of a
villainous Mexican, when, at the critical
moment, the hero bounds forward from
the wings, seizes the appraised hand and
after short struggle hurls the villain
over preciplce.
1t all did take place on freight train
near Maricopa, in Arizona, and Charles
HaIfill, one of the proprietors of the
Jefferson poultry farm on West Jeffer
son street was the rescued man. The
hero was a freight train conductor and
the villain border line Greaser.
Leland & Hallill the proprietors of
a West Side poultry farm, are both
young men, sons of well-known mer-
chants. Several weeks ago they went
to Iowa and purchased 10000 chickens
for shipment west. In order to care
for them properly they divided the con-
signment into different carload lots and
separated. Halfill has just arrived af
ter his thrilling experience, and Leland
is still on the way.
The big shipment of chickens attract
ed attention on the way out and Halfill
had SO many profitable offers for his
best birds that he sold many of them,
and collected considerable sum of
money, which he had in gold in his
pockets At Maricopa the Mexican
caught sight of the handful of gold
pieces which Halfll drew from his
pockets in making change, and boarded
the train.
At eleven o'clock on the first night
out from MaricOpa Halill and several
of the brakemen were lying asleep in
the caboose, while the conductor sat
above in the cupola loking to the run
ming of the train and making out way
bills
The Mexican, who had been concealed
on one of the. cars ahead, made his
way to the rear of the caboose and ar
rived at the platform unobserved. Leav-
ling the car door open to make good his
escape, he advanced stealthily toward
Halfll. AS he passed beneath the Gu
pola the conductor caught sight of the
glistening Blade and at once divining
his intent dropped squarely upon his
back: E4 .sra4a7
A desperate struggle followed, and
fearing the stiletto which the Mexican
held, the conductor forced him to the
platform and threw him from the train.

GARDEN CITY.

On Friday evening of this week the
men of the Christian church at Garden
City will serve supper in the basement
of the church. They will do the cooking
themselves. and there is prospect of.
large attendance, as the ladies are
displaying great curiosity as to what
kind of menu the men will serve. If
their anticipations are not very high
they are likely to be fooled, for the men
are said to be practieing up on the sly,
at the grocery store and elsewhere. No
fatalities have resulted yet from their
experiments, so far as reported.
On Sunday next Rev. B. V. Black will
give lecture on "The Souls Ambition''

This will be one of series preparatory
to the January MEETINGS.
