A Bold Step,

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the more intel
ligent to the use of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
mestic use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering into the composition of his widely
celebrated medicines. Thus he has taken
his numerous patrons and patients into
his full confidence. Thus too he has re-
moved his medicines from among secret
nOstrums of doubtful merits, and made
them Remedies of K7lOlU7l Composition.
By this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown
that his formulas are of such excellence
that he is not afraid to subject them to
the fullest scrutiny.
Not only does the wrapper of every bottle
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
famous medicine for weak stomach, torpid
liver or biliousneSs and all catarrhal diseases
wherever located. have printed upon 1t, IN
plain English, full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing 1T, but a small
book has been compiled from numerous
standard medical works, OF all the different
schools of practice, containing very num4r-
Gus extracts from the writings of leading
practitioners of medicine, endorsing in the
strongest possible terms each and every ingre-
dent contained in DR.. Pierce's medicines.
One OF these little books will be mailed free
to any one sending address on postal card or
by letter, to DR.. r. V. Pierce Buffalo. n. Y.
and requesting the same From this little
book it will be learned that DR.. Pierce'S med
icines contain no alcohol. narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious agents
and that they are made from native, medici-
nal roots Of great value; also that some of
the most valuable ingredients contained in

RUSS GENERAL is
KILLED BY GIRL
Five Shots Fired Into Back of
-.s General Min.
WIFE OF GENERAL SEIZED GIRL
And Turned Her Over to the Police.
General Min Was Doomed by the
Reds for Suppressing the Riots at
Moscow Last December.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-Saturday S
unsuccessful attempt on the life OF
Premier Stolypin, with its sickening,
useless slaughter of 80 persons, was
followed Sunday night by another rev.
oIutionary outrage in which General
Min, commander of the Seminoysky
guard regiment, and who since his
promotion to be a general, has been
attacked as a personal adJutant TO
the suite of the emperor, was killed
on the station platform at Peterhoff
by young woman who fired five shots
into his body from an automatic re-
volver, and then, without resistance,
submitted to arrest. The capture of
the girl was effected by General Minis
wife, who held her until the arrival
of an officer
This was the third successive at
tempt on the life of General Min, who
was condemned to death by the ter
rorists Immediately after the Moscow
revolt last December on account of
stern repression practiced by battal-
ion under his command and especially
for the executions of persons condemn
ed by drum head cOurtmartial for be-
ing caught with arms.
General Min was returning from his
summer residence at Peterhoff and
had just greeted his wife and a daugh-
ter on the platform when a young wo-
man-almost a girl-approached from
behind and fired two shots into his
back and then three more into his
body as it sank to the ground. Fur
ther shots were prevented by Madame
Min, who threw herself upon the muir
deress and seized the hand which held
tempt to escape, but she cautioned
Madame Min not to touch handbag
which she had placed on the platform
before shooting the general, explaining
it contained a bomb.
To the police the girl acknowledged
that she had done the deed, saying
she had executed the sentence Of the
fighting organization of the social rev.
oIutionists, but refused to give her
name
By a remarkable mischance, General
Min only last week, after the conclu-
sion of the maneuVers at Krassnoye-
SelO, dismissed the body guard which
had accompanied him since the first
attempt was made on his life, saying
that the ordinary police of Peterhoff
would be sufficient to guard him.
During the Moscow revolt, Min, who
was then a colonel, commanded the
lirst battalion of the Seminovsky guard
which operated within the city itself.
The second battalion of the guard,
under the command Of Colonel Ryman,
conducted repressions along the rail-
road to Kazan, for which acts Ryman
also was condemned to death. Unde-
TERED by several attempts to execute
this sentence, Ryman accepted an ap-
pointment on the staff of General SkaI-
Ion, governor generals of Warsaw. af-

New York, Aug. 27.-A dispatch to

Harvard will not stand for the Car
negie- Roosevelt innovation, according
to President Eliot who is stopping

of spelling does rs)t in the least ap-
peal to him.
81 suppose that President Roose-
welt has righ: to write his messages
in any style of photography to which
he may incline" he said, "but l think
it will be long time before such a
style as that proposed becomes very
popular or takes a great hold upon
the public.
81 do not myself care for it, and it
is my opinion that the same view is
held by the majority of leading educa-
tors. There are some distinguished
men, such as President Butler, OF Co
lumbia, who have favored it, but
do not see that their work has accom-
plished much"
THE English will hardly adopt this
new system" he said. 1t would mean
not only that the publishers would be
Obliged to make two sets Of plates, but
that all the present plates of stand
ard and popular works would be rem
dered incorrect and without value. 1t
would be found that the public will

why They Are Democrats.

81 am a democrat and in the coming

ty my earnest support" writes Cover
nor Green McCurtain of the Choctaw
nation TO the democratic campaign COM
mittee of Oklahoma. Governor Nc
Curtain promises his reasons later, but
mentions now one good and sufficient
reason, which is the bad treatment of
the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians by
the republican party.
In a similar statement. former Gov
ernor w l.. Byrd of the Chickasaw ma
ton declares himself a democrat be-
cause he is convinced that the hope of
his people rests in the strict construc-
ton of the federal constitution.
He is a democrat because the repuD-
iican party. in violation of treaty stip-
ulations. has pursued a policy destruc-
tive of the several Indian tribes.
He is democrat because 'the re-
publican party confiscated our lands
for homesteads for the negroes, thus
thrusting upon us an undesirable Afri-
can citizenship
1t is a fine tribute to the far-sighted
wisdom and Justice of Thomas Jeffer-
son that these native children of Amer

see SO clearly their only way To safety
through his eternal principles of equal
rights and the equal protection of the
laws for all.

Growth in Postal Business.

One Of the barometers of industrial
conditions is TO be found in the re-
ceipts of the postoffice department. Ac-
cording to the report made covering the
past II months. the business transact
ed by American pOstoffices, generally
speaking, is distinctly ahead of any
previous record.
Thus it is shown that AZ per cent of
the 5,651 pOstoffices throughout the
United States handled an amount of
mail matter sufficiently increased over
the preceding year to justify additions
TO the compensation of the posJnas-
tiers in charge; while only about per
cent of these Offices showed falling
of. This makes a net increase Of AZ
per cent OF the 5,651 postoffices through
out the United States in the year which
ended June so 1905
1t is significant that the greatest in
creases registered were in the south.
Both the Carolinas. Georgia, Alabama
and Florida are conspicuous in this re-
spect
The matter can be briefly summed
up by saying that the American people
as whole are writing and receiving
more letters and incidentally transact
ing more business by mail than has
ever been the case in their previous
history. This is only one among many
proofs that the national wealth-produc-
ing machinery is going ahead at full
speed

Desire For Food
Is Important
Appetite Is Necessary In Order To
Digest What We Eat.

We notice that some of the most
eminent physicians of this country and
Europe who have made a study of the
process OF digestion unite in the opin-
ion that a keen appetite is a great aid
to proper digestion. Some even go so
good sharp appetite for the food eaten
in order that it be properly digested
and aSSimilated. DR.. ]. p. Pawlows
essay on THE Work of the Digestive
Glands" which was awarded the Nobel
prize, sets forth very clearly the value
of appetite.
There is no other such safe sure
means for creating a healthy appetite
as Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer taken be-
fore or with your meals, and 1T is an
almost absolute guarantee OF perfect
digestion, while it's tonic and food
value cannot be overestimated.
DR.. Joseph Feisler, of the North
western University of Chicago, in COM
menting upon this said: II fully be-
lieve that the moderate use of good
beer at meal times acts as a tonic and
is therefore useful.
Hr. Feisler stands at the head of his
profession and his words must carry
great weight with those seeking
health.
Pabst Blue Ribbon is such a beer as
DR.. Feisler recommends. 1t is a prod
uct of eight-day malt. choicest hops
contains all the valuable food elements
of the barley in predigested form. 1t
gives PabSt Beer it's rich nutrition and
the fine mellow flavor which distin-
cuisines it from other beer. This, to-
gether with sixty years of scientific
so far in the lead. No food that comes
from the cleanest kitchen can be
cleaner, purer and more wholesome
than this celebrated beer.
