OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST
GIHRHNTY OF MERIT.

When the maker Of a medicine. sold
through druggists for family use, takes
his patients fully into his confidence by
frankly and fearlessly publishing broad
cast as well as on its bottle wrappers,
a full list of all its ingredients in plain
English, this action on his part is the
best possible evidence that he is not
afraid to have the search light of inves-
tigation turned full upon his formula
and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough investigation.
DR.. Pierce'S Favorite Prescription for the
cure of the weaknesses. periodical pains
and functional arrangements of the or
gans distinctly feminine, Is the only medi-
cine put up for sale through druggists for
woman's special use, the maker of which
IS not afraid to TAX his patients into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity.
A glance at the published ingredients
on each bottle wrapper, will show that it
is made wholly from native, American,
medicinal roots. that IL contains no poi
sonous or habit-forming drugs. no mar
cOticS and no aIcOhOl-pure. triple-relned
glycerine, OF proper strength being used
instead OF the commonly employed aico-
hOl, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found in
the roots Of the American forest plants
employed. 1t is the only medicine for
wOmen'S peculiar diseases. sold by drug
gistS. that does not contain a large per-
centage OF alcohol. which is in the long
run so harmful TO wOmanS delicate. nerv-
Gus system. Now, glycerine is perfectly
harmless, and serves a valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all its own,
and besides it enhances the curative
effect of the other ingredients entering
into the rFavorite Prescription
Some Of the ableSt medical writer's and
teachers endorse these views and praise
all the several ingredients of which vFa-
vorite Prescription" is compOsed-re rec
ommending them for the cure of the
very same diseases for which this world
famed medicine is advised. No other
medicine for women has any such pro-
tesstOndl endorsement-worth more than
any number of ordinary testimonials. If
interested, send name and address to DR..
r. V. Pierce, Buffalo. n. Y, for his little
book of extracts from the works of
eminent medical writers and teachers,
endorsing the several ingredients and
telling just what DR.. Pierce's medicines
are made OF. It's free for the asking.

EVIDENCE AGAINST PACKERS
CONTRACTS BEARING ON. TRUST
IN PACKING HOUSE PROD
UcTs FOUND.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Contracts bearing
on a trust in packing house products
are said at the federal building to
have been discovered within the week
by secret service operatives. The
papers, it is reported, will be pro-
duced in the criminal trial of the in
dicted packers If their plea of immuni.
ty is disregarded by the jury chosen
for their preliminary trial. With this
rumor comes announcement that the
packers will not have to face the pre-
liminary trial set for next Tuesday,
until Wednesday, Jan. II.
Another important development is
that the defense has engaged the law
firm Of Herrick, Allen, Boyesen &
Martin to aid John S. Miller, general
counsel.
In connection with the rumor of the
new discovery by the secret service
it Is remembered by persons about the
government building that an elderly
stranger has recently been a frequent
visitor at the Office of District Attor.
ney c. B. Morrison. 1t is from this
man, it is said, that the contracts
were secured. He is said to have
once been prominent in the packing
business. The man is said to have
stayed until the evidence in which he
was interested had all been secured
and then to have left the United
States.
Postponement Of the forthcoming
trial has it's reason in the inability of
ington, where he is before the SUI
preme court in the traction cases, in
time for the trial next week.

st. Paul, Jan. "a steam plant in
the home of George H. Watson, 800

Saturday morning. The house is a
total wreck as a result. Mrs. Watson
was sitting in the dining room or a
chair, and when the explosion &C.
Cured she was hurled to the ceiling
and landed in the cellar. She was
seriously injured. Mr.. Watson and a
son and two daughters were in the
kitchen. They were blown against the
walls and badly hurt. Though seri-
ously injured, all will probably recov-
er. The house was literally blown to
pieces and the windows of the neigh
boring houses were also demolished
by the explosion. The loss is estima-
ted at about $1,000.

BraziI's Blue Butterflies.

The exceedingly high prices often
asked and paid for butterflies are rem
dered possible by the extreme uncer-
tainty of the market. There is no
means of knowing how long a butter
fly will remain a rarity. 1t may con-
tinue unique for a quarter of a century
or it may become common in the
course of a few months. A case in
point is that of a beautiful blue butter
fly from Brazil. When the first speci.
mems of this butterfly were sem to
England ONE years ago they readily
sold for $50 or more apiece. Since
then, however, collectors have sent it
home in numbers. and the price has
fallen to a paltry go cents.

SHE WORKS ON AT 80.
Mother of oIympia's Captain in the
Land Office.

There are some fine old women in
the service of the federal government,
and not the least of them is Mrs. Ann
Gridley, a clerk in the land office at
Washington. A short time ago she
celebrated the eightieth anniversary
of her birth. Mrs. Gridley is the wild
ow of a gallant naval officer, who lost
his life in the fight between the Mont
tor and the Merrimac. Her son was
that brave captain Of the Olympic who
figured in the battle of Manila. For
forty years Mrs. Gridley has worked
faithfully at her desk, never missing a
day from her duties. She is always an
honOred guest in Admiral Dewey's
home on Manila day, May /, and for
two years she has been escorted to the
banquet by the admiral himself. Mrs.
Gridley scorns the idea of old-age pen
sions, and says she will keep on work
ing until she reaches the century
mark. The death of her grandson two
years ago saddened the old woman
more than any of her previous trou-
bles, but she has frightened up, and
on her recent anniversary she held a
levee.-New York Press.

FIrz AND WIFE REcoNcILEo.
PusiIist Woos Back His Wife at Sioux
Falls.

FugIItst Woos Back HIS wire at SIOUX
Falls.
Sioux Falls, s. D., Jan. 8. - The
reconciliation Of Robert Fitzsimmons
and wife came as a great surprise to
the people of Sioux Falls, as it doubt
less will to their friends throughout
the country. Various movements OF
the attorneys and those interested in
the case indicated that something i'm
portant was about to transpire, but
the utmost secrecy was maintained,
and not until late in the afternoon on
Saturday would those in a position to
talk with authority admit that the
long-talked-of reconciliation had at
last been effected. Even then, efforts
were made to suppress this knowl-
edge. AS yet little definite informa-
ton can be obtained as to the exact
causes which led to the reconciliation.
Fitzsimmons and his wife will depart
to-day for their home in New York
city.
