These same offices could be estab-

keep them up. We are paying 500

than 1t costs for the running expenses
OF the county. We don't get anything

So many false formulas and malicious
statements concerning his medicines
had been published through the con-
nivance of Jealous competitors and dis
gruntled doctors, dit DR.. Pierce deter
mined to completely disarm his assail-
ants by full and frank statement of
their exact composition, verifying the
same under oath as complete and cor
rect. This he has done and to the
complete discontinue of those who had
assailed his good name as well as the
well-earned reputation of his world
famed medicines.
Not only does the wrapper of every
bottle of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, the famous medicine for
weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious
ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever
located, have printed upon it, IN plain
English, full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing it, but
small book has been compiled from
numerous standard medical works, of
all the different schools of practice.
containing very numerous extracts from
the writings of leading practitioners
of medicine, endorsing IN the strongest
possible terms, each and every ingred-
lent contained in DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines. One of these little books will be
mailed free to any one sending address
on postal card or by letter, to DIR. r. v.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, and requesting
the same. From this booklet it will be
learned that DR.. Pierce's medicines con-
tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious
agents and that they are made from
native, medicinal roots of great value;
also that some of the most valuable in
gradients contained in DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription for weak, nervous,
over-worked, rundown" nervous and
debilitated women, were employed, long
years ago by the Indians for similar
ailments affecting their squaws. In
fact, one of the most valuable medic
inal plants entering into the compost
ton of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton was known to the Indians as
wSquaw- Weed.D Our knowledge of the
uses of not few of our most valuable
native, medicinal plants was gained
from the Indians.
AS made up by improved and exact
processes, and with the use of specially
designed chemical apparatus, the vFa-
vorite Prescription" is a most efficient
remedy for regulating all the womanly
functions, correcting displacements, as

BAD FIRE IN FOUNDRY.
Capital Iron Works sustains Loss of
Ten Thousand Dollars.

The foundry and pattern store house
of the Capital Iron works at Seventh
and Holiday streets was badly dam
aged by fire. last night, entailing loss
Of close to $4,000, which is covered
almost entirely by Insurance.
The a1aT1nf was turned in at $40.
The fire seemed to have started from
the pattern store house, a frame build
ing just newly erected. From here it
communicated to the foundry building
constructed Of stone. The pattern
building was burned to the ground.
while the foundry building had the
roof burn ed almost entirely of. and
the interior scOrched. The walls re-
manned standing and were not af-
fected.
The flames were playing f1erce5y
about the entire structure when the
fire department arrived and it took
hard work. to keep the factory building
of the Curry WINDMILL works from GO
ing up in flames also.
The origin of the fire is in dispute.
Chief G. o. Wilmarth believes the
fire started from cupola in which
the iron is rendered molten for the
foundry work. G. NJ. Brooks, man
ager Of the iron works, claims that it
could not have originated there, that
the work of. making castings had
ceased at 5zo'clock and every precau-
ton had been taken to guard against
a. fire.

CALLED PREACHER a LIAR.
Samuel Gallagher VIII Probably Be
Sorry Before Long.

Samuel Gallagher. Valencia man.
Is to be tried in the court of Topeka for
disturbing q religious meeting. Ac-
cording to the statements of Theodore
Cham berlain, a member of the Valen-
ella Congregational church, the said
Sam Gallagher did wilfully ct cetera
lift up his voice during the services in
the Valencia Congregational church
last Sunday, and not only disturb the
congregation, but call the minister,
Rev. r. Worral, a liar and a fraud. The
church members thereupon decided
that the said Sam Gallagher was not
only a smart Alec, but a subject for
the consideration of some court au-
thorized to attend to his case.
Mr.. Chamberlain, who filed the COM
plant, says that Gallagher was drunk
when he entered the church, and came
only for the purpose of making dis
turbance. After he had broken into
the opening services by calling the
minister a liar, several of the members
fell upon him in bunch and threw
him out, but not before he had landed
on the jaw of one of the deacons.
Disturbing church meeting may be
a very humorous performance in Gal
lagher's estimation, but he is liable to
change his views on. the subject before

AN IDEAL JIM HACKLER.
NaclzIyn ArbucI1Ie Presents Character
of Typical Politician.

Macklyn Arbuckle's climax in the
third act of THE County Chairman
IN which he appeared last evening at
the New Grand opera house. in the role
Of the Hon. Jim Hacker, the local DO
htical boss, is an artistic achievement,
rarely witnessed on the local stage, and
his epilogue in the last act is almost
equally good. The strong bit of acting
in the third act transpires in Hackers
law office near the close of a campaign
in which the prize is the office of pros
ecuting attorney. Hacker returns from
an adjoining state with evidence OF
criminal nature against the opposition
candidate in respect to the handling of
funds left under his administration for
an orphan by her father, an 'tOld sol
der" Hackers principal motive in
fighting the opposition candidate is on
account Of undetermined methods such
as intercepting letters. which he used
twenty years prior in winning the heart
and hand of the girl he loved. The
county chairman returns with the evil
dence needed and intends publishing ii
in the local paper, but after a fierce
mental struggle listens to the appeal Of
his former sweetheart the wife of the
guilty candidate tears up the story
and thus relinquishes the best amnluni-
ton for the defeat of his enemy be-
cause it would bring disgrace upon the
family. 1t is a fine climax. and calls
for a display Of intellect in handling the
lines in a manner so as not to turn 1t
