onstipation.

ORINo Laxative Fruit Syrup will posi-
lively cure chronic constipation as it re-
stores the natural action of the intestinal
tract. Ordinary cathartics may give tenn
porary relief but the stomach is upset
and the bowels are irritated without any
permanent benefit having been derived.

ant to take. 1t will not grippe or sicken.

The condition of the patient remains un-
changed. The Stomach, Liver and Bowels
have not been stimulated and in few
days stronger purgative may have to be
taken. This is why Pills and Aperient
Waters never give permanent relief.
Their violent action results in an unnat-
ural movement of the bowels and it isnec-
essary to keep taking them indefinitely.

Why ORINO is different.

ORNo Laxative Fruit syrup is the only

Shoes Are to Cost More.

AT a recent Boston meeting of the shoe
manufacturers of New England it was
agreed that the prices of shoes must be
raised in view of the fact that the sta
pies of the shoe industry had increased 80
per cent in cost within the last few
years. This increase was attributed to
reduced consumption of meat, tending to
a scarcity of leather. the use of shoes in
the far eastern and southern countries
and increased consumption of leather
owing to poor quality. The manufactur-
ers justify their course by saying that
they are denied access to the open mar
kets of the world by the duty on hides
which they say protects no industry, but
only serves the purpose of enabling the
beef trust ''to levy tribute on the people,"

Governor of Canal Zone Replies to
Writer'S Criticisms.

Charles f. Magoon, Governor of the
Panama canal zone, who is also a mem
Der of the canal commission and the
american minister to the republic of
Panama, but who draws but one salary.
IS back home for a visit and TO attend
the meeting of the commission He con-
tradlcts almost every assertion made by
Poultney BigelOw concerning the state of
affairs on the isthmus. He says that a
large part of the $4,000 wolkmen are
now engaged in making the canal strip
as healthful as possible by drainage and
the use of kerosene to destroy the mos
quitoes by fumigation and netting. He
says there is not a single gambling house
or house of i'll repute in the zone. Most
OF the women who have been brought
there from Martinique were living with
their declared husbands and the rest were
employed as servants.
Mr.. Bigelow has sent a cheek for ST.
600 to the Louisville Courier-Journal,
which he agrees to forfeit if. upon fair
investigation, his statements are proved
untrue. He says he does not think it a
very severe thing to be called a liar,
but extremely disagreeable to be proved
one. As to his refusal to give the names
OF his informants, he says that every
journalist knows that such condolences
are his stock in trade.

NOOOoNNOO~

The receipt of ''black hand" letters
by members of the House has almost
caused nervous prostration among
some of them. The "black hand"
warnings began to come a few days
ago, when several members received
postal cards on which there was
drawing of black hand Beneath
the hand was the warning: Only
four days more" Members began to
ransaek their brains in an effort TO
think Of what act they had committed
to gain the enmity of the "olack
hand Two days after the receipt of
the first warning a second came with
the same black hands and the omirous
words, you have only two days
more" This was followed the next
day with a postal with the inscrip-
ton you have one day more" These
repeated warnings caused consider
able alarm until to-day when postal
cards were received inscribed in red
ink: mo more black hands; use
Blank soap" Members of Congress
believe this particular method of adj
TertisiD2 should be abolished by law.

"MY WIFE"

7F anyone had accused Clinton
il CalOrme of being in love with the
little woman he took pleasure in
walking with on the sands he would
have been very indignant He was
sorry for the poor invalid, and felt he
was doing an act Of genuine philan-
thropy in trying to cheer her up.
One evening late, as he was smok-
ing in his hammock, he saw the young
sister Of the subject of his thoughts
approaching him.
MY sister bade me give you this"
she said, placing in his hand a minia-
ture Of an old man whom he remem-
bered having been with when he died
in India. 'She wanted me to ask you
If you couldn't come over to the cot
tage tonight. She's very badly, l am
afraid" added the girl sadly.
Clinton CalOrme followed her. With
out any prelminaries the invalid said:
my uncle died in Simla in your
arms, Mr.. CalOrme, and left in your
hands a will which you duly forward
ed to this country to its proper execu-
tors. My uncle was a man of great
eccentricity, and that will, while it
put me in possession of this entire
property, contained a condition that
will cause this property to revert to
you in the event Of my dying unmar-
ried and without natural heirs. In
case Of my marriage and the failure
OF natural heirs, the will permits me
to make a testamentary disposition of
the lands, moneys and estates with
this singular stipulation, that 1 have
in the meantime become your wife.
Loving me he would have wished me
TO become the wife Of an honorable,
true-hearted man only and, believing
you to be all this, l have sent for you
tonight to ask Of you the greatest
favor, It seems to me, that woman
could ask of man.

WOLVES ATTACK HUNTERS.
TWO Men. Separated from Party,
Have Thrilling Experieuce

Harry Riddel and James Cook. both
prominent citizens of Jackson county, de-
scribed narrow escape they had from
being devoured by wolves on a recent
evening. They had been hunting the
beasts all day with a party of hunters
from neighboring towns and farms Be
coming separated from the main party,
they lost their way At night they gath
cred some dry branches and built a fire.
They had no sooner kindled the fire than
the bowling of wolves was heard in the
distance. and with their backs to a large
rock the men prepared for battle. In
ten minutes the forest seemed alive with
duSky forms. and soon the battle was
raging. The rest of the party had gone
in search of the missing men and came
upon them after they had exhausted their
ammunition and were fighting with fir
brands as last resort. The wolves dis
persed at the approach of the larger par
ty. fifteen of the brutes having been
killed.

The possibility of President Roose-
yelts becoming the Republican candi-
date for a third term has been again
widely discussed, following the state
ment made by Jacob Riis, the init
mate friend of the President. IF
duty demanded Roosevelt to continue
this fight, he would do it. l know he
does not want to become a candidate
for another term, but at the bottom
of his heart he believes in the people
and will fight for them" In many
sections Republican leaders have come
forward with pledges of support and
the pros and cons of the question
have been on every tongue in political
circles. In the face of all this the
President has not deemed it necessary
to add anything to the definite volun-
tary statement made the day after
he was elected that he would neither
seek nor accept a thirds term nominal
toll.
