on BY Committee.

on BY Committee.
Washington, Feb. 5.-Appropria-
tions aggregating $2O9 ,180, sci are
carried in the postoffice bill agreed
upon by the house committee on post
Office and post roads. The postoff1ce
Appropriation for the current year was
S191 go, 562.
Cuts aggregating $40, 000, 600 have
been made by the committee in pay
ments to be made to railways for
carrying mails and for the use of
cars. A straight cut of So, 900 900 is
made through reduction in the rate
per ton to be paid on heavy mail
routes; a cut Of 81, 900, 900 is made
in the rest to be paid railways for
postal cars; cut estimated at a mill
lion dollars is made by eliminating the
weight of mail bags from the weight
upon which railways are to be paid
for carrying mail, and probable cut
Of about SIS 900, 600 will result from
the decision Of the committee to have
the daily average mail over routes
ascertained by dividing the weekly
weights by seven, instead of by six
as is the present practice.
The committee considered the pos
tai committee report on second class
mail matter, but decided not 10 in

tion bill with the exception of a rec
ommendation that a commission con-
sisting of three senators and three

The Story of a Medicine.

It's name-uGolden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one of it's most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-Tefined glycerine, aided by GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed HGolden Medical Discovery" for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
it ever since has been, without particle
of alcohol in its makeup.
A glance at the full list of its ingredi-
entS, printed on every bottle-wrapper,
will show that it is made from the most
valuable medicinal roots found growing
in our American forests. All these in
gradients have received the strongest en-
dorsement from the leading medical ex-
perts, teachers and writers on Mdtc1id
MedtcG who recommend them as the very
best remedies for the diseases for which
"Golden Medical Discovery" is advised.
A little book of these endorsements has
D66u COmpleu ny III. hs W 4 lc1Cts Vi
Buffalo, n. Y, and will be mailed free to
any one asking same by postal card, or
letter addressed to the Doctor as above.
From these endorsements, copied from
standard medical books of all the differ
ent schools of practice, it will be found
that the ingredients composing the Gold
en- Medical Discovery" are advised not
only for the cure of the above mentioned
diseases, but also for the cure of all ca
tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections,
accompanied with catarrhal discharges,
hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, OF
hang-on-coughs, and all those wasting
affections which, if not promptly and
properly treated are liable to terminate
in consumption. Take DIR. Pierce's Dis
covery in time and persevere in its use
until you give it fair trial and it is not
likely to disappoint. Too much must not
be expected of it. 1t will not perform
miracles. 1t will not cure consumption
in its advanced stages. No medicine will.
1t 10iJ cure the affections that lead up Ia
consumption, If taken i7l time.

Mr.. Hill said: ''The fact is, that
with the present advances in costs

consider an advance in rates instead
Of reduction. The rates here are
down to about half Of the rates in

Gathereds
Elkins, w. Va, Feb. 5.-Twenty-
five or thirty miners, the majority
of them foreigners, are supposed to
be dead as the result of mine ex-
plosion at Mine No. %, of the Da-
Wis coal and coke company, at Thom
as, near here Five miners, who
were entering the mine when the ex-
plosion occurred, have been taken
out.
1t is thought all the miners in the
mine have been killed. 1t is not
known how large the list of casual
ties may grow until further investi-
cation, as there is no way of deter
mining how many men were in the
mine at the time of the explosion.
The first searching party entered
the mine. The bodies of six for
eigners and one American were re-
covered at a distance of 100 feet from
the shaft. Before further progress
could be made, a deadly wave of
poisonous fumes enyeloped the res
cuing party. Before the rescuing
party could reach the surface, Jones,
the mine boss, died from suffocation.
Efforts are being made to enter
the mine again, but without success.
Pftiful scenes are being enacted all
about the mouth of the mine. The
families of the missing men are fran
tic with grief, and strenuous efforts
are necessary to keep them from cast
ing themselves into the mouth of the
mine.
Just a few minutes before the large
part yof miners had entered the mine
by the way of an opening unused at
Cotton. When they heard the re-
port, they traced their steps at top
speed and thus saved themselves.
