The DOCTORS QUESTION.
Advice Against the Use of Harsh
Purqatives and Physics.

A doctors first question when consulted by
q patient is, ARE your bowels regular: lie
knows that IinetT-sight per cent OF illness Is
attended with inactive bowels and torpid
liver. This condition poisons the system with
noxious gases and waste matter which patur.
ally sccumulates and which must be removed
through the bowels before health can be re-
stored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics may be
truly likeued to dynamite. Through their
harsh, irritating sctiOn they force passage
through the bowels. causing pain and damage
to the delicate Intestinal structure which
weakens the whole system, and at best only
produces temporary relief. The repeated use
Of such treatments cause chronic irritation Of
the stomach and bowels, bardens their tissues,
desdens their nerves, stiff ms their must les
and generally brings about an injurious habit
which sometimes has fatal re'uls.

THE Court Of Appeals, yesterday, as
stased 10 !be Gazette OF that day,
handed down su opinion in the Fred
ericksburg local-option cOse, In which
the Corporation Court Of Fredericksburg
ia reversed and the Wsrd act, under
which the election wss held, Is declared
constitutional The decision affects moi
only the city Of Fredericksburg and
makes that city "dry," but it also de-
eidss the questions raised in the cities Of
Roanoke, Lyuchburg, Bristol, Suffolk
aud other places which have voted "dry,"
and in some of which the result WAS
attacked along the same lines as the case
decided Yesterday. The legality Of the
ola.tion in the case at bar was attacked
on the ground that some of,the petition
or, for the election aud some OF the
enters who participated In the election
were not qualified to exercise the rlgn'
Of suffrage, having failed to qualify oy
having their poll taxes six months prior
to the regular election De1t succeeding
the special election. The Ward act per.
mitted Sotsrs who had paid their poll
t.xes but not six months prior to the
regular election, to participate 10 special
e,ectIous-suoh as to closing Of falcons,
flaming bonds for roads and schools and
the like. No person could vote, however,
who bsd not paid his taxes. The opinion
In declaring the validity Of the Ward
law holds that the general assembly OF
tho stste can enact any law which is not
r.nuvnant to the federal constitution
and which is not restricted by provisions
Of the state constitution. The result Of
tbia decision Is far-reaching. As stated
sbove It will legalize the elections In
Fredericksburg, Roanoke and Lynch
burg. 1t will alsO legallEs the roso
bond law and the school bond law; 1t
will clear of suspicion bonds already
issued, or sgreed to be issued under
those laws; 1t emphasizes the right Of
the peopIe acting through their repre-
seutstives in the legislature to deal with
the whole liquor question in all of its
phases, 10 such way as it deems best.
Local option will now have the right OF
way, and by this method the will OF the
people as to license or no license may be
sought and expressed without let or him
drance.

Effects Of tho Strike.

Paris, via London, March 10
France is today facing geneHal strike
Of the entire poetsl service. Adding
menace TO The situation, already alarm
ing, the electricians and railroad en-
plOyes threaten al immediate strike.
SO fsr there has been no disturbances,
bu! a strong force of troops Is being held
in readiness in Paris to suppress dis
order.
Paris is tied up. The government Is
using army photographers to move its
most important official business, bat
commercial and newspaper business Is
practically ct q s,andstill. More than
nice million letters and three hundred
thousand kilograms are being held up In
the Paris postofice stations.
A majority OF the officers of the in
fsntry regiments stationed In the capi-
tai have been detailed to sort and de-
liver letters. The railway post stations
are blocked by the rapidly accumulst-
ing mail 1t is estimated that the strike
is costing the government $3.50, 900 a
day, while the loss to private business
interests cannot be estimated.
The last to join The strikers are the
linemen, repair men ard mechanics 10
the telegraph aud telephone departments.
The tie up in the telephone, telegraph
aud postal departments is almost COM
plete.
The fact that the strike is political
rather than economic makes it more dif-
dcult to handle. The conservative press
Is urging the government to hold out
and denounce the strike as aDarchistic
and likely to lead to revolution aud urge
Olemencesu not TO yield. The strike is
being discussed today in the chamber OF
deputies.

THE New York Tribune crlticlses the
democrats 10 Its comment on the late
insubordinstion 10 Congress by which
victory was turned to defeat. 1t says;
''The democratic party in Congress is
lust as divided and incapable as the
democratic patty in the nation. l's
ststsmen are fatally prone to look out for
their own advantage instead OF the
psrty's. The emblem of the nsIiora
organization is a mule. That is good IS
far as It goes. But filter emblem would
be two muleS travelling 10 opposite d.
reclious." And many OF the men who
have been elected to Congress by demo-
cratic votes justIy bring such criticism
upon themselves aud richly deserve it.

INCREASES
TARIFF ON SHOES
Near Close of Session Progressives
Make Strong Effort to Place
Shoe on Free List.

Washington, June 25. - A short
time before adjournment last night at
o'clock the senate returned to the
consideration of the schedules of the
tariff bill, after devoting the greater
part of the day to listening to prepar-
ed speeches, and adopted amend
ments increasing the duty on shoes
from Is to 20 per cent ad valorem, and
increasing the duty on sole leather
from to 10 per cent ad valorem, the
lower figure representing the house
rate in each case.
BY viva voice vote the duty on sole
leather was increased as proposed, but
roll call was ordered on the increase
on shoes. 1t resulted in favor of the
committee, 80 to "a.
The entire affirmative vote was cast
by republicans, but Senators Bristow,
Clapp, Crawford, Cummins, Curtis,
Gamble, LaFollette and Nelson joined
the democrats in opposition.
The entire paragraph relating to
sole leather shoes, patent leather, etc,
was agreed to, glove leather" being
included in the list of articles dutiable
at 20 per cent ad valorem.
The session concluded with strong
scene attending an effort by Senator
Bristow to place hides, shoes, sole
leather, etc. on the free list. Senator
Aldrich insisted, when the Kansan Of
fered his substitute for this purpose
that the items having been voted on,
it was out of order to attempt to OBJ
tain another vote. Upon Mr.. Bristows
insisting upon a vote on his substitute
the Rhode Island senator moved to
lay the substitute on the table, which
was done by 33 to %.
The question was then revived by
Mr.. Bristow, who wanted to have an
as to his rights in Of
fering amendments. Not being recog-
nized promptly, he declared that the
senate would not hasten action on the
bill by attempting to curtail his right
to speak.

I'D like to hear the senator" inter
posed Senator Tillman, pointing to the
clock, but it is o'clock. and I want
to get out of this hot place"
In accordance with the order of pro-
cedure previously adopted the senate
at once adjourned. Mr. Bristow hold
ing the floor The point of order rails
ed by NJ Bristow as to his right to |
offer a substitute for any paragraph |
after is adoption was left pending.

STATE WARDEN IS
VERY INDIGNANT
Movement May Be Started to Remove
Penitentiary From McAlester on
Account of Appraisement.

McAlester, Okla, June Pr. w.
Dick, warden of the state penitentiary
was certainly indignant as he discuss
ed the report of the appraisers APP
pointed to appraise the land sought
to be condemned for the purpose of
state farm. He said he did not of
ten break into the newspapers but on
this occasion the story might be pub
hshed and he was ready to go on re-
cord as saying that the state would
not be held up in this manner; that
the penitentiary would be taken to
Granite or elsewhere before they
would be forced to pay $15O,OOO for
farm.
The appraisers appointed by Judge
Cole went upon the land and after
ward made their report to the court.
The several pieces of land were ap-
praised at 15O, $145, $40 and $50 per
acre.
Mr.. Dick said yesterday that the
fCAJ ldlu app dl5Su at Plop, lhdl VI
Mckay, had been offered at 500
per acre and the owner had never
thought of asking more, yet the ap-
praisers found it worth $3.50. He
said he did not want to be under
stood as opposing the people in get
ting every dollar their property is
worth, but he does not propose for
the state to pay fancy prices and be
held up just because it is the state.
He said when he makes his report
and shows that the state cannot ac-
quire the land for less than about
$150,000 there would not be a min
ute's hesitation in deciding on the re-
moyal of the prison to place where
land could be had at what it is reason
ably worth
