a Most Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DR.. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medicinal
properties which it extracts from native
medicinal roots and holds in solution
much better than alcohol would. It also
possesses medicinal properties of its own,
being a valuable demulcent, nutritive,
antiseptic and antiferment. 1t adds
greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry
bark Bloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone
root and Queens root, contained in
NGOlden Medical Discovery" in subduing
chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial,
throat and lung affections, for all of which
these agents are recommended by stand
ard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is a wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak
stomach, as in the early stages of con-
sumption, there can be no doubt that Civ.
cerine acts as a valuable nutritiVe and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherry bark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about healthy condition
of the whole system. Of course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption except in its earlier
stages. 1t will cure very severe, ObSti-
nate, hang-on, chronic coughs, bronchial
anu larry uB6dl GFOuDleS, ana chronic sore
throat with hOarSeneSS. In acute coughs
1t is not so effective. 1t is in the lingering
hang-on coughs, or those of long standing,
even when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that it has performed it's most
marvellous cures.
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben
nett Med. College, Chicago, says of gly-
cerine:
ain dyspepsia it serves an excellent purpose.

BUCKET SHOPS

Complain That South Has Lost
Interest In Specueation.
SOME HOUSES ABANDON WIRES
Steady Flow from South Which for
Years Enriched New York Operators
Has Suddenly Diminished, and the
Grief in Gotham Is Great.

New York, Jan THE recent
complaints Of brokerage houses that
little interest was taken by the pub
| lie in cotton speculation during the
last seasons cotton trading and that
a large proportion of their accus"
toned business had been lost, seems
to be borne out by a statement by
one of the largest brokerage firms
since the books have been balanced
preparatory to the new years busi-
ness.
This shows that trading fell off with
that particular house from an aver
age of $38 600 monthly last year 10
less than $5 900 monty this past sea-
son. The bulk of the trading which
comes to New York is from out-of-
town connections, mainly in the
south.
Decline in profits and poor prospects
for the near future have led at least
four important cotton houses here to
abandon their southern wire service.
Another firm has cut its service in
half.

Chicago, jan PA Tribunte dis
patch from Washington says that
there is to be a great revolution in

Pledges have been given which in
sure the selection of Champ Clark of
Missouri, to be Democratic leader in
the house of representatives and the
party candidite for speaker in place
of John Sharp Williams, of Missis-
sippi, the present leader.
The campaign for he deposition
of Williams has been going on quietly
for a long time until now pledges
from old members who have been re-
elected to the sixtieth congress and
from new ones who will come into the
house at the same time have reached
number Of sufficient to insure the
control of Democratic caucus in be-
half of the Missouri representative.
This change is of immense impor-
tance, because it involves a great
deal in the way of presidential poll
itics, as the Democratic candidate
for speaker win not be proposed un-
til just before the opening of the
first session of the next congress in
December next. From that time on,
candidates for the presidency and
vice presidency will be busily en-
gagged in different states and the in
fiuence Of Democratic representatives

do with making the nomination

WIFE AND HUSBAND
Both Lie at Point of Death From Bullet Wounds That Were
 Self Inflicted.

Springfield, Mass, Nov. Hear ing two shots fired in rapid succession early to-day, the employees of the Highland hotel burst into room and found MT and Mrs A. Nj. Kirwan, of this city, apparently dying from bull let wounds, which the husband claim ed were self inflicted. They were rushed to the hospital where at a. m. to-day, they were both reported in a critical condition.
 The couple were married last June. Kirwan is 26 years old and a well known cigar maker, while his wife is IS, and a. stranger here. They came to the Highland hotel about II o'clock last night and going immediately to a room ordered light lunch and some liquor. At o'clock this morn ing the watchman was startled by two reports of revolver in the Kir- vans room. The night clerk and a porter burst open the door and found the woman unconscious on the bed and the man in nearly the same con- dition on the floor. Both had bullet wounds in their breast. They were carried to a hospital where Kirwan recovered sufficiently to tell the phy- sicians that he and his wife had de- cided to kill themselves. He did not give reason.
 The hospital physicians fear that neither can survive.

MERRY HALLOWEEN PARTY.
Pupils of the Rick Academy Held
 Masquerade.

The pupils of MT and Mrs John F. Kicks dancing academy held their annual masquerade dance in the academy, 34 East Main street, last evening. The hall was beautifully decorated with Halloween lanterns, cornstalks, autumn leaves and bunt- ing. At 10 o'clock, about one hundred couples formed for a grand march and instead of the regular prizes for costumes, each one was served alike with a beautiful souvenir in the form of animals. Then the fun started, the dogs parked, the pigs squealed, roosters crowed and chickens cackled. The costumes were the finest seen for a long time, flower girls like sweet bunch of viOlets and pink roses, stately danes with powdered puffs and ancient dresses that their grand mothers wore. mingled with boWery girls, red riding hoods, kings and clowns and many others too numer- ous to mention. Music was furnished by the well known orchestra belong ing to the academy and when "Home, Sweet Home,' was played at 1 o'clock everybody asked to be sure and be re- membered for an invitation to the next.
