One Of the greatest American n,iilioneires
once said 10 his physician. "a million dol
lars, Doctor, for a new stomach, and then
the sick man groaned and turned away
One of a mans greatest pleasures is that
born Of a keen appetite, vigorous digestion
and good dinner and this belongs to
many a good fellow who is living on small
wages, but the rich man without a stomach
has 70 forego the good II ;ngs of the table
because his stomach rebels. Without a
healthy stomach and a good digestion, our
blood Is thin. watery and poor our h. art
action Is weak, our liver does not do its
duty. and man Is miserable and unhappy.
In this condition man is prey TO the ger inns
of influenza, consumption, malaria aud all
the ills that he is heir TO. Consumption
can be treated by natural methods which
are as close 10 nature possible.
DR. X. V. Pierce. chief consulting physi-
ian of the Inval;ds Hotel and Surgical
institute, at Buffalo. n Y, years ago UNI
derstood this disease, and after long pc
Rod Of experiment discovered certain roots
and herbs which were natures remedies
and succeeded in putting them up in a
form that would be easily procured and
ready TO use. This he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t gives no
false stimulation because il contains no
alcohol and no narcotic. 1t helps diges-
ton and the assimilation of such elements
IN the food are required for the blood.
Instead of cod liver oil, against which
the already sensitive stomach will declare
open rebellion, this tonic has a psciiying
action upon the sensitive stomach and
gives TO the blood the food elements the
tissues require. II maintains the patients
nutrition by enabling him TO eat. retain,
digest and assimilate nutritious food. 1t
oveTcomes gastric irTtabiiity and symp-
toms of indigestion. and in this way fever,
night sweats, headaches. etc, are done
, away with. 1t fortihcs the body against
the germs of consumption, grip and ma
laria, and il builds up the tissues and puts
on healthy flesh.
When the druggist says he has some
thing that is Just good as DR. Pierce g
Golden Medical Discovery. he says so be-
cause he hopes 10 make a better profit,
but his own mixtures have not stood the
test Of long experience nor had the success
that DR.. Pierce's medicines have had.

RUNS FOR THREE DECADES
Court Timepiece at Freeport, III,
Stops After Long Service of
Thirty-Two Years.

Freeport, Ill.-For the first time
since it was put up. more than 80
years ago. the big clock I'm the county
courthouse tower in Freeport has
been taken down for repairs. The old
clock has done remarkably good serv-
ice during the long period that il has
been in use. and with the little at
tention paid to IL each week by the
jeweler engaged by the county board
10 wind and regulate II. has kept good
time and never has stopped for a mo-
ment. Shopkeepers, clerks and Office
men in the principal business part
OF the city have missed the friendly
clang of the huge bel that takes
the place OF gong on the big clock
since the removal OF the works. and
/; will be like the voice or returned
friend when the old clock renews the
striking Of the hours.
The clock was purchased by the
county in February. 1873. 1t cost So
200, and is the largest clock in this
part of the state. Every part of the
works is of massive dimensions
The escapement works on a heavy
iron shaft more than two feet long,
and all the rest of the parts are of
corresponding size The weight by
which the clock proper is operated
weighs 500 pounds, and the weight on
the striker weighs 1900 pounds The
bell alone weighs $500 pounds. The
works. after their long usage. have
become somewhat rusted and clogged
with dirt and oil, but after they are
thoroughly cleaned they will be prac-
tically as good as ever.

A Pertinent Question.
(Communicated.)

According TO newspaper reports II
Mr.. Pearson, of Blueficld, was
tried and found guilty of manslaughter
at the last term of the criminal court
of Mercer county, West Virginia. We
would like TO inquire: Who inspired
this prosecution? What was the gist of
the offence? Upon what rules of law
and evidence was this conviction based?
His child was sick. He refused to send
for physician. "On the other hand
he tried the efficacy of prayer and
amounting" THE child died. Did
the prayers and anointings kill the
child? Or does the matter stand this
way: The child was sick, Pearson re-
fused TO have "a doctor, the child died
ergo, Pearson is guilty OF man slaught-
en-?
The following would be equally
good: The child was sick. Pearson
called doctor, the child died. ergo
Pearson is guilty OF manslauohte
Again: II Pearson's refusal to have a
doctor, and the child's dying made
Pearson guilty of manslaughter, then,
II he had called doctor, and the child
had died would not the doctor have
been guilty OF manslaughter?

and public morals as storms in nature
are necessary TO keep the atmosphere

This incident, and the position of
the Richmond papers will do good.
There are a number Of stagnant. dead
towns that may learn the value of
stirring things, as well as to the
method of doing it. There are some
things that need stirring little in this
town, and if Mayor SPOTS emit do it
any other way that he likes better. let
him try the plan adopted in Rich
mond.
Another thing: We confess to an
ignorance heretofore, Of the meaning
of that requirement of the Episcopal
ministers to "pray once every yeal
that the wills Of the people may be
stirred up"
We are under obligations for light
on the meaning and application of tn,
prayer. The Prayer Book should b,
amended so as 10 require that TIN,
prayer for the ''stirring" be made a
shorter intervals.

RICHMONDS "STRENUOUS"
MAYOR.

A few days ago. Mayor Mccarthy
created big sensation in Richmond
by calling a newspaper man ga liar" and
several other dignified, pet names.
The whole city was stirred 4 few
days later. SO the papers report, an
IN attorney called the Mayor liar,
and Interference was necessary To pre-
vent personal encounter. The apollo
gies and excuses thu Richmond papers
are making for the unusual (and to
them), regrettable conduct Of the ex-
ecutive, are amusing and i'm some I'M
stances las is usually the case the
apology is worse than the offence.
The News Leader says:
1--WE prefer Mayor who does some
wrong and foolish things and some
very good ones to Mayor who does
nothing. An occasional outbreak into
absurdities may be overlooked philos-
ophically in view OF consistent course
of enterprise, vigilance and energy.
Nothing is better for community
than To have its local government con
stantly prominent before its observa-
tons and with its thoughts. or course,
sedate, cool-headed and dignilied
Mayor would be gratifying TO have and
maybe some day we will find and elect
man who combines all the desired
qualities.

TO a matter OF much Importance con-

that high schools are an absolute
necessity, that. "it is idle TO establish

those who apply for admission have
had no high school training" Certainly.
Pupils applying for admission i'm the
normal school should have had a
thorough high school training.
To further equip the normal schools
We already have, raise the standard
of admission, and use what money we

move than to establish normal schools
