pR. PIERcE,s REMEDIES.
Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as TO many
Of the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published IN some journals Of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been of great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject, 1t has. in q
considerable measure, resulted In the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pscted Of containing the injurious ingre-
dents complained Of Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo,
N. Y. took time by the forelock," as it
were. and published broadcast all the
Ingredients Of which his popular medi-
ciDes are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
al opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNowS COMPOSITION Fur
thermore from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it viii be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
Vegetable. extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths Of our American forests and Of
well recognized curative virtues-
Instead Of alcohol, which even In small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases Of diseases, becomes highly objec-
tionable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce. en-
ploys chemically pure, triple refined

OHIO TURNS DEAF
EAR To LARK|N.
Methodist Pastor From This
City Appeals in Vain
for Aid for Churches
SPEAKS HIS MIND
SPEAKS

CINCINNATI, O.. Oct. 22.-An address
by Rev DR.. F. M. Larkin of San Fran
CISCO in which he made a bitter attack
on the Methodists of Ohio for the small
amount of money that they had con-
tributed to the stricken Methodists of
San Francisco. was a sensational fea-
ture of the weekly meeting of the
Methodist ministers of this section to-
day. Dr.. Larkin said:
Not only have the Ohio Methodists
failed to give money to the earthquake
sufferers of our faith, but they refuse
even to hear me, sent here for the pur-
pose. to present the matter in their
pulpits 1t is a shame / say. I have
sent out letters to churches all over
Ohio begging TO be allowed to come
and tell of the need of the earthquake
sufferers of Methodist faith, and out
of hundred of my requests for
hearing l got three invitations.
From San Francisco my brother
ministers write: Unless you send us
aid we perish We cannot preach to
starving people nor tell of the goodness
of God in poverty stricken homes. Help
US; we cannot maintain churches or
hold together congregations without
assistance now"
The negro problem provided another
exciting phase. AS a result President
Roosevelt may be asked by the Cincin-
natl Ministers Association to give his
attention to an address on the race
problem delivered by Bishop Waldron, in
which the Bishop declared that the ma
tion must consider its relation with
the negro as that of a guardian to a
ward. The colored man will make a
good business man and a good citizen
if we only give him a chance"

have caused his condition. He died a
few hours later
Carpenter came to the notice of the
police about two years ago when COM
plants against him began to come in.
These were multiplied rapidly and he
was arrested on December 2, 1905, but
the case against him was dismissed.

son of Chattanooga, Tenn, called at
the White House today and invited
President Roosevelt to attend the i'm
migration and quarantine conference to

on the Presidents invitation Mr.
Thompson called again tonight. The

Thompson said he suggested to the
President that the idle negroes in the
South be utilized for labor on the Pan
anna canal
'The better class of negroes in the
South" he explained, would aid the
white people in securing this class of
labor for that work. 1t is the idle ne
gro that makes the trouble in the
South and reflects on the better class
of negroes.

the suggestion and asked me to talk

INDIANA COMMITTEE SAYS
INSURANCE IS TOO HIGH
Investigation of Life Policies mt Insti-
cation of Governor Said to Prove
Rates Are Excessive.


INDIANAPOLIS, October GA spe-
cial committee appointed by the Gov
ernor, which has been investigating
the office of the State Auditor for a
year, with special reference to mutual
and stock life insurance companies.
today submitted its report to Cover
nor Hanly.
The general conclusions of the COM
mittee are that the cost of life in
surance to the public is too high. The
present maximum premium rates for
insurance are so much in excess Of
needs as to permit of extravagant man
agement of companies, theft of their
funds, division of profits and other
great abuses without rendering the
companies insolvent. Indiana COM
panies, like many companies of other
States, have been guilty of extrava-
gances and abuses though they have
maintained solvency."

1t would appear unjust, unreasora-
bic and abusive had the suit for in
Identification for the injaries and
damages occasioned here by the con
gregantes been brought against the
people who have to support such fu-
Inereal rulers, and, nevertheless, &C
|cording to the new methods, the coun-
try is expected to answer and does
answer directly and Immediately for
the mistakes Of their tutors. There
would not, therefore, be anything
strange in Mr.. Bird having in his
mind something as interesting 10
him as lancntable for us.
Porto Rico has nothing to lose by
the absolute truth being made clear,
and it appears TO as that Mr.. Bird is
rendering a service TO this Island,
|conferring a benefit on the colony, III
the suit he has brought, and which
will enable the national authorities
TO refresh their memories regarding
the amazing things that transpired
in the Island during the fnnereal
days of Mr.. Hunt and help them to
understand cleary the abuses snd alb
normalities perpetrated by the pre-
sent despotic and arbitrary regime.
We cannot truthfully say that all
the statements Of, Nj. Bird merit
praise, nor that he IS successful in
the means by which he seeks to i'm
press those from whom he looks for
Irepara ton.
For example, when he says that
the tuy6Hs existed here during the
Spanish regime, and that they were
an indispensable adjunct of the ge-
lvcrnment, he is clearly in error.
There were no fnY6Gs here during
The Spanish sovereignty
The American governors, antedat-
ing Mr.. Winthrop, have not only the
Responsibility Of preserving the
vandal organization Of the tarbas; no,
they have more: they invented them.
The tWrbas never existed in Porto
Rico. not even IN that stormy and
turbulent period following the Amer
lean occupation.
The organization and development
Of the far6as is painful product Of
American domination. It is not necc-
ssary to go any further to find the
origin of this sinistre institution
(which was the natural product Of the
anarchistic conditions created by the
disorder following the invasion.
| There are no more tHr6as. The
energetic attitude Of a governor dis
''persed the mqfG.

alist will recognize the truth of
what we have affirmed and accept

The congregation is almost daily
afording some new sensation.
Even before the most recent scan
dals, which have exercised and dist
urbed opinion and carried constern
alton to the public nind, have been
completely extinguished, new and
sensational one is unearthed.
The latest one is startling and ex-
traordinary, of spectacular variety,
and serves to clear up, for certainty,
some of the mysteries over which it
was supposed that time had thrown
the compassionate mantle of Oblivion.
Perhaps among the names OF the
persons included by Mr., Bird, the
former director Of The San Juan
News, in the complaint which he
has made before the courts Of the
United States, there are those that
some will believe unjustly compile
atcd or concerned with the true and
only authors OF the plot denounced
by the American journalist above
mentioned; perhaps some will cons,
ider the amount Of damages claimed
too much and hold that Mr.. Bird
could never earn that sum with a
paper in Porto Rico; but others will
be found who hold an opinion diam
etrically the contrary; at all events,
points or questions will be considered
and weighed by the court which has
taken cognizance oftke matter, based
on the proofs submitted by Mr.. Bird.
SO then, whether Mr.. Bird wins or
loses, whether his demands are iud-
gcd excessive or moderate, new
mysteries Of the congregation will
become known, which will give to
the National authorities an exact and
clear cut idea OF the value of those
public functionaries who have fallen
upon the colony.
Porto Rico ought not 10 lose any
thing as consequence of the com
plaint to which We are referring
The denunciation, according to eur
advices, is made personally against
the consresantes who in the opinion
lof Mr.. Bird, conspired against the
| life and the. very existence Of the
journalistic enterprise known as The
San Juan News.
If the suit had been brought aga
inst the Insular government presided
over by Mr.. Hunt, or the one presi-
ded over by Mr.. Winthrop. if it were
against the People of Porto Rico, the
charge of Mr.. Bird might appear
unjust, absurd aud untenable, becau
sc we ough not to pay, nor should
any one pretend that we ought to
pay. for the mistakes, the abuses and
, the errors comitted by the congreg-
antes with such frequency and aga
inst the constant protest Of public
opinion.
