Secretary Root Of course points out not
only what tho individual voter should do
but what he should refrain from doing
and array his, personal influence against.
On the negative dde the exposition natlr-
ally leads him to discuss the spoils system,
first definitely announced by Secretary
Marcy. slthoug Oh the germs Of It had existed
long before. What Mr.. Root has 3 o say
upon this subject u well worth marking.
He does not overlook the specious srounds
on which the system has been defended.
Unq~uestionably the application Of the prin-
ciple accepted by Marcy tends to weld
the official personnel OF a party organi.
zation into q compact body Of men, who.
depending upon o other for personal
advancement. stand by each other at all
hazards and oppose the power OF organi-
zation to every effort on the part Of the
mere voting members Of the party to take
any course in party action which may inter-
fere with the regular business Of barterinx

AS the men who form suoh q compact

affairs. and in that way have a great adj

business and profession and can give

At the time OF which we speak there still
remained In the immediate vicinity Of the
City Hotel a few private residences, though
the majority Of the buildings had been
changed into shops or stores; as yet there
we're but few places OF business worthy
to be designated as warehouses. and these

WHERE THERE is so MUCH
SMOKE THERE is ALWAYS
SOME FIRE.

When people talk about one thing
and keep on talking as they do about
the discovery that created so much
newspaper comment in Richmond and
other cities during the past summer
even though many reports may be ex-
aSserated. there must be some merit
in the discovery, and when people
spend their money for a thing and
then buy more of it. proof of merit is
so convincing that it becomes the du-
~ of every person in need of Root
Juice TO go to Luken's drug store and
get bottle of this much talked of
remedy. Root Juice cures rheumatism
and catarrh because It puts the filter
ing machines of the body to work and
causes them TO filter the impurities
OF the blood. Root Juice cures stom-
ach and bowel troubles because il re-
moves irritated and liberated condi-
lions from the mucous Innings and
causes natural flow of digestive flu
ids. Root Juice is SO good for female
weakness because it tones and heals
the organs that make and filter blood.
Good, rich blood will nourish and
strengthen every weak part OF the
body. Root Juice at LuEen's drug

Wonan's Trials.

The bitter trail in a woman's life is 70
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
sence of this linR TO bind marital life
together. the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is common disap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even if they
do not drift apart. one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
of such childiess couple when they rest
on the children of others To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous
In many cases of bdrrenness or child
lessness the obstacle To collaborating is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the woman. DIR. Pierce's Ea-
vorite Prescription has beenthe mean OF
restoring health and frnitfulness to many
a barren woman. to the great joy of the
household. In other, but rare cases. the
obstruction to the bearing OF children has
been found to be of a surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute. Buffalo. n. Y. over which
DIR. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription"
fame presides. In all cases where chill
dren are desired and are absent. an effort
should be made to find out the real cause.
since it is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In ali the various weaknesses, diSplace-
ments, prola psus. Inflammation and de-
bilitating. catarrhal drains and in all
cases of nervousness and debility, DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
1t has to its credit hundreds of thousands
of cures more in fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use The ingredi-
ealts of which the HFavorite Prescription
is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writer's on Mdterid Medicd of all
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed in plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle. so
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she is taking Dr. Pierce takes his pa
tients into his full confidence. which he
can afford to do as the formula after
which the uFavorite Prescription is
made will bear the most careful exam
ination.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and safest laxative for women.

y WILL NOT SELL LIQUOR.

According to the statements Of a
local Pennsylvania official, that road
will not handle intoxicating liquors on
it's trains running through Indiana,
owing to the fact that the 81 900 IL
cense required by the recent legisla-
ture spells prohibition for that road
and liquors would be too expensive.
1t is understood that liquors will not
be unloaded on the state line, but will
be carried through and not be sold as
long as the trains are in Indiana terri
tory. The law has occasioned more
than one Indiana railroad to drop the
practice permanently. These are the
smaller roads, however.
