a larger appropriation from the State.
The witness stated that the number OF
recoveries at the institution was a little

very high percentage.
He said that there were very few
amusements for patients, but that lit was
not his fault, as he had asked the legisla-
ture for money for this purpose several
times, but had been unable to getit. The
superintendent said there were many old
soldiers at the institution who had no
business there, and he thought it agrave

The PEOPLES VERDICT

The people of fredericksburg are
TO be congratulated that the election
is over. that it passed of quietly III
spite of the fact that there was IN
tense feeling and interest involved
and that they can now return TO
their daily avocations without the
distracting iuAuence Of politics. For
the good of fredericksburg. we nope
that bitter local divisions will cease,
that elimination and recrimnation
will be swallowed up in an united
effort to advance the material inter-
ests Of this city.aud We take no little
pride in the position this paper has
nursued. No word OF vilitcatlon or
abuse has found place in our editorial
columns. for We despise the policy OF
a lyertising. without warrant or JUS
tiacation. that there are thieves
or orafters in our midst. The cleo
ton is "A vindication Of our position
and shows that the people place the
seal of their Misrepresentation upon
such methods, that they condemn
organized clubs for the purpose oil
getting control of the city's affairs
and especially that they condemn
the tactics of its leaders in trying to
form as stepping stones topo"er the
wrecks OF honorable mems reputa-
tiOns.
The grand Jury which recently in
vestigated the charges OF graft III
this city found that there was no
graft in the official life Of Fredericks-
burg. and now the court OF last re-
sort-the people-have sanctioned
and endorsed that verdict. II the
verdict of the grand jury was not
sufficient to put an end to charges OF
graft. theft and violation OF law
surely the verdict OF thepeople ought
to do so. The people say that the
affairs OF Fredericksburg have been
managed in safe, sane andconserv-
alive manner. Now let the STRIFE

All Losses to Be Paid.

1t was announced some time ago
that all insurance upon losses in the
recent San Francisco disaster will be
paid, and this assurance will do much
toward restoring confidence in the fut-
ure. If you have lost your good health
through neglect or ~carelessness, we
would Urge you to try a few doses of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t is ac-
knowledged to be the best medicine,
not only to restore your health but to
insure it for all future time. A few
doses now and then will aid nature
wonderfully in keeping all of the or
CANS in proper working order. This is
proven by its SO years record of cures
of sue ailments as poor appetite,
belching, bloating, headache, dyspep-
STA, indigestion, b~iliousness, cramps
diarrhoea, female ills or malaria. Take
a supply on your vacation to counter
act the i'll effects Of strange eating and

PROMULGATES NEW
TARIFF IN BRAZIL
IMPORTANT NOTIFICATIONS IN
TRADE RELATIONS BETWEEN
THE TWO COUNTRIES.
Flour Included in Cut of Twenty Per
Cent, and Considered Among Most
Important, as Breach Was Almost
Caused Few Years Ago over This
Product of Export.

Washington, July 11.-Secretary
Roots proposed visit to South Ameri,
ca has begun to zeal fruit. Brazil has
Just announced a new tariff, which re-
duces the duty on flour and many 9th
er American exports 20 per cent and
is designed to promote the develop
ment of commercial interchange be
tween this country and Brazil.
Flour Most important.
Condensed milk, rubber seals,
watches, varnishes, typewriters, plan
.os, ice boxes, scales, windmills and
inks excepting writing inks), are 9TH
er articles on which the 20 per cent re
duction in tariff is granted. But flour
is the most important commodity in
the list and the duties on breadstuffs
have long been the subject of dispute
between Brazil and the United States.
Almost Caused Breach.
Failure to reduce the duty on flour
almost caused a breach of the relations
between the two countries many years
AGO. and because of the expectation of
large quantities of flour to Brazil the
change in duty favorable to this coun-
try is of great Importance.
