A Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or. a starved
liver. 1t would be a stupid as well as
savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver.it is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.

has made many marvellous cures Of silver

organs Of digestion and nutrition. Il re-
stores the normal activity Of the stomach,
increases the secretions Of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accommodations, and 80 relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon It BY

SERGEANT Wilson and I were out OH
the picket line at the same post, and
we thought they were getting ready
for a night attack, so we kept a sharp

something tramping in the leaves and
we could tell that'it was getting near

we could see the bulk OF man. we

We knew from his speech that ne
was a yankee. When commanded TO
throw down his gun and surrender,
he thought we were joking him, and
did not give it up until he got back
to the lights and saw we were conteo-
crates. The yankee band, after play

he didn't care if it was yankee band

While this was going on, just TO

WRECK ON HIGHLAND
Passenger and Freight Trains Meet Head -0n Near Ter1yYlIIe To-day
 -Tlacks Blocked.
NO ONE WAS INJURED.

Terryville, Dec GA head-on col lision between passenger train and an extra freight near the Summit sid ing, mile west of the Terryville sta ton occurred this morning, but as the trains were going slowly at the time, no one was severely injured. The passenger train was due here at 9O0 over the Highland division and the extra freight, it is said, was to have waited on the siding until the other train passed It. The freight took the siding but moved off onto the main train just as the passenger reached the siding, the engines meeting head on. The crews of both engines jump ed and were uninjured, but several of the passengers were. shaken up, though no injuries of any conse- quence are reported.
 As result of the accident, the Highland division track was blocked, the greater part of the day. Soon af- ter this accident happened, a work engine and two cars, operating near the new tunnel near here were thrown from the tracks, through the spreading of the rails, making two jobs for the wrecker to hancle.

Washington, Dec 6.--With view to securing an adequate transport re- serve fleet for the United States army General Humphrey in his annual re- port states that the department might advantageously be given authority of law together with an adequate ap- propriation, to take options for the charter of American vessels suitable for transports, paying therefor a req sonable yearly rate. iixiEg the char ter price if called Into service, and giving the department first right to the services of such vessels when needed. "Such a method" he says. fought to in some measure encour- age the building of ships of type adapted to transport uses and place this department in a better position for securing such vessels when re- quired, leaving at the same time all the advantages of our sunexcelled transport system" The latter. he says further. should never be aban- doned so long as troops require to be transported to and from over sea ports. especially those in the Philip pines.

MUTUAL LIFE SUING.
London Agent Stole Tehir Secret and Customers.

London, Dec 6.-The hearing of the suit of the Mutual Life Insur- ance company of New York against the North British & Mercantile In- .surance company and D. C. Halde- nfan, former London manager of the Mutual, began here to-day before Justice Sir Charles Swinfen Eady. The plaintiffs ask for an injunction and damages. alleging that while Mir Haldeman was still in their employ he suggested to the North British company scheme to transfer the British policyholders of the Mutual to the North British and that on the day of the termination of his engage ment with the Mutual he sent out circular to all the British policy holders inviting them to surrender their policies in the Mutual and transfer them to the North British. The plaintiffs also contend that Mir Haldeman wrongfully used informa- ton which he obtained as London manager for the Mutual.
 Ex-Attorney General Finlay in presenting the plaintiffs case, said 1t was admitted that there had been the greatest abuses in the manage ment of the Mutual. but the sugges- tion made by Mir Haldeman of failure to take the most stringent steps to end these abuses was absolutely un- founded.

WHAT 1T COSTS
 ID KEEP OUR NAVY Nearly Twenty Million Dollars Ex- pended In the Last Fiscal
 Year. .BATTLESAIP OHIO COSTLY Blue Jackets of the Navy Were For the Most Part a
 Thrifty Lot.

Washington, Dec 6.-It cost $19,- 64,749 to keep the ships of Uncle Sans navy in commission during the past fiscal year, according to the an nual report of Paymaster General II. T. B. Harris. The battleship Ohio was the most expensive craft, for it cost to put her in commission and keep her in service for the twelve months 714,245. On the armored cruiser Colorado $524,O57 was ex- pended. The Brooklyn cost $339 $50; the Baltimore $326,691, and the crui- ser Chicago, one of the first ships of the new navy, cost $3S7.794 to keep her float and on active duty. The battleship Iowa required the expendi- ture of $428,O4S. and the Oregon $398,422. The brand new armored cruiser Pennsylvania cost $521,343 to commission and run last year.
 The building of new ships, includ- ing labor and material cost the gov ernment during the last fiscal year $31, ,764, ,556. and repairs to ships S5,- -. 550,3O9. The sum of $262, ,034 was ex- pended on the naval militia of the states.
 As an evidence of the thrift of the bluejackets the paymaster general shows that in the past fiscal year they deposited with the paymasters S636, 9S0; they were repaid $734,S67, which with accumulated interest on the to- tai savings on repayment amounted to S951.652
 The report expresses eradication over the practical elimination of the middleman and speculator in bidding for naval supplies and the fact that the number of reputable dealers and manufacturers not heretofore dealing with the navy has materially in- creased.
