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 invigorator, 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-
tons, 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
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 glycerio
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 bnilt for 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. V, for little booklet which he has
compiled. containing copious extracts
from numerous standard medical books,
which are consulted - authorities by
physicians of the several schools of
practice for their guidance in prescrib-

DIR. Pierce's medicines, however, form
a single and therefore striking exception
to the above rule. Their claim to the
confidence of invaIids does not rest
solely upon their owners and makers
fay-so or praise. Their ingredients are
matters Of public knowledge, being
printed on each separate bOttle-wrap-
per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken
into DR.. Pierce's full confidence Scores
of leading medical men have written
enough to fill volumes in praise of the
curative value Of the several ingredients
entering into these well known med
icines.
In favor of DR.. Pierce's medicines il
the frank, confding, open, honest state
ment of their full composition, giving
every ingredient in plain English, with
out fear of successful criticism and with
confidence that the good sense of the
afflicted will lead them to appreciate
this honorable manner of confdihg to
them what they are taking into their
stomachs when making use of these
medicines.
WHAT THEY CURE. People often
ask what do DR.. Pierce's two leading
medicines-'GOlden Medical Discovery
and Favorite Prescription cure?"
Briefly, the answer is that uGolden
Medical Discovery is a most potent al
teratiye. or bIood.Cnritier, and tonic, or
inyigorat0r. 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
las catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels las
mucous diarrhea), bladder, uterus or
other pelvic organs. Even i'm the chronic
or lucrative stages of these affections,
It is generally successful in affecting
cures. In fact the "Golden Medical
Discovery" is without doubt, the most
successful constitutional remedy for all
forms of cAtarrha. 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 "DiscOvery" for it's
blood cleansing and specific, healing
effects upon the mucous lining men,
branes. This combined local and gen.
eral treatment will cure very large
percentage of the worst cases of chronic
nasal catarrh, no matter of how many
years standing they may be.

One of the Right Kind.

A new picturesque, romantic
comedy drama has been made from
the famous story of the Hidden
Hand," and will be seen at the
City Opera House, Feb. 20.
The announcement should arouse
more than ordinary interest among
patrons of the best class of plays,
or people who like melodramas of
the genuine kind, for all accounts
agree that the author in this in
stance, we'll known actor, has
succeeded in adding to the stock of
worthy American plays. Mrs. South
worth's story of the mountainfolk of
old Virginia will be seen in four
picturesque acts full of life, incident,
real characters. humor, superstition
and romance. he author has
avoided the extremely sensational,
but has retained the full charm and
power of the story.

HERO OF FAMOUS POEM.
"Jim- Biudsoe" Of the Upper Missis
Sippi Dead.

Dakota, Minn., Feb. 28.-The re-
mains Of John Jones, famous as the
Jim Bludsoe" Of the upper Missis-
sippi river, have been laid to rest
here. Jones' experience was so much
similar to that of the hero of John
Hays famous poem that many believe
he was the inspiration of it. Jones
was pilot of the ferryboat Warsaw,
which transferred passengers from La
Crosse to the Minnesota side of the
river in the period just after the Ciyil
war About forty years ago the War
saw caught fire while in the middle
of the channel, with several hundred
passengers aboard, but Jones headed
the steamer for an island in the cen
ter of the river and in the words. of
the poem, "held her nozzle against
the bank until the last galoot was
ashore" He was then obliged to
make his own way to land through
the burning boat. Although he re-
ceived serious injuries he survived
and died Of old age.

WOULD GUST JEROME
New Workers Send Petition tc
Governor Hughes.
MAKE CHARGES OF NEGLECT

Allege District Attorney Failed to
Prosecute Insurance and Traction
Men and Assert That He Favors
Contributors to His Campaign Fund
New York, Feb. 2S.-Twenty-two
specific charges are made in a petition
praying for the removal of William T.
Jerome as district attorney of the
county of New York which was sent
to Governor Hughes at Albany by a
committee of stockholdesk of the Met
ropolitan Street railway through their
chairman, William F. King.
The petition alleges that Jerome
failed properly to prosecute charges
of alleged Jury fixing" and the giving
of false testimony in street railway
cases; that the prosecution of viola
tions of the criminal law by the life
insurance companies of New York, as
disclosed by the Armstrong commit
tee, had been delayed; that an alleged
criminal conspiracy to divert the prop
erty of the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way company of New York into the
hands Of few men was allowed by
Mr.. Jerome to go on and hundreds of
stockholders robbed of their money
and that no attempt was made to
punish men alleged to have committed
other frauds in connection with New
York city traction deals. Mr.. Jeromes
statements as to judges are alleged
to have been not only improper but
scandalous in their nature and to have
tended to destroy the confidence of
the people in the integrity of their
courts. Various other cases of alleged
failure of the district attorney to per-
form his duty are cited in the COM
plaint.~
tributions to the campaign fund to
elect Mr.. Jerome were received by
one of Mr.. Jerome's assistants from
men connected with large corpora
tions seeking favors from the district
attorney and that the sum, the amount
of which is unknown, was consider
ably upwards of $4,000.
Among these contributors, it is al
legged, was the attorney for James H.
Hyde, who contributed $4,000. It is
also alleged that the assistant who
received these funds and who has
since resigned and entered law prac-
tice has undue influence with the dis
trict attorney.

SCORES SAVED BY FiREMEN
Number of Persons Seriously Hurt,
Two Probably Fatally.


Two Probably Fatally.
New York, Feb. 2s.-Two persons
were burned SO severely that they
may die, a dozen more were severely
hurt and scores were rescued from
perilous positions by firemen in two
early morning fires. Although In
widely separated sections of the city
it is believed that both fires were of
incendiary origin. The fire in which
many were injured was in a tenement
house at 43 East First street. The
flames were first noticed on the third
floor. Before those sleeping on the
upper floors were aroused the fire had
spread throughout the third floor, cut
ting off all escape by the stairways.
Even before the dremen arrived the
fire escapes were crowded with
scantily clad and badly frightened
men and women, many of them carry
ing children in their arms. So close.
ly were the tenants crowded on the
fire escapes that the openings were
choked and they remained there help
less until the firemen raised ladders
and took them down to the street.
Several persons who were caught by
the rush of flames on the third floor
were badly burned. Calegro Bar
barette and his daughter Lena, aged
nineteen, inhaled flames and are in a
critical condition. Several others who
were taken to a hospital suffering
from burns and bruises will recover.
The second serious fire was In an
apartment house at 247 East One Hun
dred and Fortieth street. Forty per-
sons were removed from the building
by policemen and firemen.

TO CURTA|L SALOONS
Government Licensing Bill Before
British Parliament.
MOST IMPORTANT MEASURE
Provides for the Compulsory Closing
Within Certain Time of About
One-third of the Retail Liquor Es-
tabIishments Of the Country.

London, Feb. 28.-Chancellor of the
Exchequer Asquith has introduced the
liquor licensing bill In the house of
commons. This is the principal gov
ernment measure for the present ses-
sion Of parliament and involves vast
money and labor interests. The cap
ttal invested in licensed property In
this country is not less than $780,
100000, while over 100000 people
are employed in the traffic The
chancellor, in presenting the bill, de-
clared that, in the opinion of the gov
ernment, all effective reform in this
field must aim at the attainment OF
two principal points, namely, a pro-
gressive reduction of the excessive
facilities now allowed for the retail
sale OF intoxicating liquors and the
gradual complete recovery by the
state, with due regard for existing in.
terests, of its dominion over and its
property In a monopoly which it had
improvidently allowed to slip from its
control .:...E
The plans proposed for the attain.
ment of these objects were detailed
at considerable length by the chan.
cellor. Briefly, the bill provides for
the compulsory reduction within a
specified period and on a uniform
scale Of the number Of regular saloon
licenses throughout the country. The
number of, saloons to be licensed is
based mainly upon the density of the
population. In cities 1t is proposed
to allow one saloon for every 100 per-
sons and in the country districts one
saloon for every 400 persons. This
regulation, it is estimated, will wipe
out in the neighborhood of 10000
licenses, about one-third of the pres
