We did the same thing once when

that the old speck tax laws and the

Senator Morley has been politically

Preston who has been fighting the
battles Of the Dawson faction for the
past twenty years. Since we come

has been doing some lively stunts

years. The Senator has always been

SOME GOOD ACTS.

At its two sessions the Fifty
eighth Congress had voted to spend
SI,s99,65I,aS9.oo which is more
than was appropriated in gold by
any previous Congress in our his
tory not excepting the period of the
Civil war. In the short session Just
closed few decent things were
done. One of the leaks in our land
laws was stopped by abolishing the
lien land privilege which has ena-
bled spectators to swindle the Gov
eminent by exchanging worthless
tracts in forest reserves for valuable
timber lands outside.
The Yosemite Valley has come
again under the control of the
United States, having been re ceded
by the State of California; val

for improving the efficiency of the
militia by encouraging rifle practice.
The government has been author
lied to take part in the celebration
of the three hundredth anniversary
of the first permanent English set
Element on this continent, at James
town, Virginia. For the first time
since the contract was made, seven
years ago, Congress has refused to
make the annual appropriation OF
$4,000 to pay rent to the National
City Bank for the old Custom
House site in New York. This was
one of the scandalously bad bargains
Characteristic of the Governments
dealings with shrewd financeers.

HOW TO KEEP WELL.
Siren CITIZEN the Stomach With Mi-o-na
and Get Perfect Health.

The source of health is the stom-
ach and the digestive system. When
acting as Nature designed they
should, the organs of digestion do
their work regularly and uncon-
sciously, like a perfect machine.
Those who use Mi o-na do not have
a sallow complexion, sunken cheeks,
nor fabby flesh. Their skin has
ruddy glow, the eyes are bright, the
breath sweet and the step elastic. In
short, the users of Mona have the
maximum of good health and are
plump, rosy and robust.
Nine-tenths of all sickness comes
from weak stomach, causing loss of
flesh, shattered nerves, fatulency,
heartburn, sick headaches, backaches
spots before the eyes, rheumatic
troubles, aud general weakness and
debility. Take Mona tablet be-
fore each meal, and all irritation, con-
gestiou and Inflammation in the stom-
ach or bowels will be Immediately
soothed and relieved. In fact, the
stomach will become well and strong
and the whole system filled with
strength and vitality.
Even if a weakened stomach has
brought you to a chtonic stage of i'll
health, where life is one long drawn
out pain, do not despair. Mona will
efectia cure if the simple directions
in each SOC box are faithfully fol
lowed.
Read the guarantee given by the
Hooper Drug Co., with every pack
age of Mona they sell. They pledge
themselves in this guarantee to re-
fund the money, should Mona fail
to help.

The regular work was followed by a

The attendance was exceptionally
good, and shows that great deal of

bers will receive recognition from the
