Grand Jury Meets Monday.


Washington, May 12-The senate
passed the postoffice appropriation
bill, carrying $229,O27,367. AS passed
the bin allows 81 a day expenses for
a railway postal clerk when away
rom terminals, which will incur to-
tai expense Of $LOOO,O0O. Amend
ments adopted by the senate provide
for weighing the mails annually in
stead of every four years.
After a debate lasting practically
the entire session, the house, 1856 to
.124, agreed to the conference report
on the naval appropriation bill. The
insertion Of a new provision relating
to an increase in pay for officers and
men of the marine corps and navy
drew forth a good deal of criticism
of the conferees, who were charged
with having taken liberties and with
having violated the trust reposed in
them by the house. The confeTees
reached a complete agreement. The
bill now goes to the president.

the session Of the house was spent in
roll calls. When the days work was

propriated inventions, to apply to the
court OF claims for relief; authoriz-
ing the entry of tea sWeepings when
intended to be used in the manufac-
ture of caffein; and an omnibus
bridge bill.
Further consideration Of the Browns
vile affair was postponed by the SEN
ate unit! Decembe: IS next. This de
cision was reached after an EXTENDED
exchange Of views among the sena-
tors. Senator Foraker, after urging
the appointment of an early day for
voting on his bill, moved that it be
taken up next December, after a mo-
ton by Senator Culbertson Of Texas
to vote on the bill next Saturday
was laid on the table.
Senator Rayner's resO' ution direct
ing the president to appoint p cour-
f inquiry to investigate the case OF
Colonel William F. Stewart, now sta
toned at Fort Grant, Arizona, was
referred to the committee on military
affairs with the understanding that
Senators Rayner would appear before
that committee at once to make d
further statement On the case.

For weak, WORKOUT, over-worked wom-
emo matter what has caused the
breakdown, vFavorite Prescription "
will be found most effective in building
up the strength, regulating the womanly
functions, subduing pain and bringing
about healthy, strong, vigorous con-
dition of the whole system.
DR.. Pierce believes that our American
forests abound in most valuable medi-
cinal roots for the cure of most of our
obstinate and most fatal diseases, if we
would properly investigate them; and,
in confirmation of this firm conviction,
he points with pride to the almost mar
velous cures effected by his vGolden
Medical Discovery" which has proven
itself to be the most efficient stomach
tonic, liver inMgorator, heart tonic and
regulator, and blood cleanser known to
medical science. Not less marvellous.
in the unparalleled cures it is constantly
making of woman's many peculiar affec-
tions, weakness and distressing derange-
ments, is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, as is amply attested by thousands
of unsolicited testimonials contributed
by grateful patients who have been
cured by it of leucorrhea, painful
periods, Irregularities, prolapsus and
other displacements, liberation of uterus
and kindred affections, often after many
other advertised medicines had failed.
Both these world-famed medicines
are wholly made up from the glyceric
extracts of native, medicinal roots,
found in our American forests. The
processes employed in their manu-
facture were original with DR.. Pierce,
and they are carried on by skilled chem
lists and pharmacists with the aid of
apparatus and appliances specially
designed and built fof this purpose.
Both medicines are entirely free from
alcohol and all other harmful, habit
forming drugs. What is said Of their
power to cure the several diseases for
which they are advised may be easily
learned by sending your name and
address to DR.. R. v. Pierce, Buffalo,
N. Y, for a little booklet which he has
compiled, containing copious extracts
from numerous standard medical books,
which are consulted as authorities by
physicians of the several schools of
practice for their guidance in prescrib-
ing. 1t is FREE TO ALL. A postal card
request will bring it.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure
constipation. Constipation is the cause
of many diseases. Cure the cause and
you cure the disease. One UPelleto is
q gentle laxative, and two mild ca.
thartic., Druggists sell them, and
nothing is "just as gOod.n They are the
original Little Liver Pills first put up by
old DIR. Pierce, over 40 years ago.
Much initiated, but never equaled.
They are tinv supar-cOated Cranulaa-
easy to take as candy.

Confidence Of invalids does not rest
solely upon their owners and makers

matters Of public knowledge, being

ner. Tins invalid sufferers are taken
into DR.. Pierce's full confidence. Scores
Of leading medical men have written

WHAT THEY CURE. People often
ask vWhat do DIR. Pierce's two leading
Golden Medical Discovery
and Favorite Prescription cure?"
Briefly, the answer is that Wooden
Medical Discovery is most potent al
teratiye, on blood-purifer, and tonic, OF
invigorator, and acts especially favor
ably in a curative way upon all the
mucous lining surfaces, as of the nasal
passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom-
ach, bowels and bladder curing large
percentage of catarrhal cases whether
the disease affects the nasal passages,
the throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach
Gas catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels (as
mucous diarrhea), bladder, uterus OF
other pelvic organs. Even in the chronic
or Lucrative stages of these affections,
it is generally successful in affecting
cures: In fact the wGolden Medical
Discovery is without doubt, the most
successful constitutional remedy for all
forms of catarrhal diseases known to
modern medical science. In Chronic
Nasal Catarrh DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy fluid should be used for washing
and cleansing out the nasal passages
while taking the cDiscovery" for its
blood cleansing and specific, healing
effects upon the mucous lining mem.
branes. This combined local and gen.
eral treatment will cure a very large
percentage of the worst cases of chronic
nasal catarrh, no matter of how many
years standing they may be.
As to the uFavorite Prescription il
is advised for the cure of one class d
diseases only-those weaknesses, de.
engagements and irregularities peculiar
to women. 1t is powerful, yet gently
acting, inyigorating tonic and nervine.
