Supreme Court WAYS.

When the supreme court of the Unit
ed States assemblies at IL O'Clock on
each Monday the room is filled with
lawyers. clerks, newspaper men and
spectators. Routine announcements
are made by the chief justice in a
voice no one can understand. Deci-
sions of great moment are rendered by
other Justices in mumbled words which
are not heard. Lawyers. clerks. news
paper men and spectators stare hard mt
the honorable justice who may be talk
ing or reading. some with hands curry
ed into a round board so that they can
catch few words if possible. But no
one in the courtroom shouts LOUDER
No one would last very long if he did.
And should person be sentenced for
contempt of the supreme court it would
be the end. AS an old colored en-
plOyee once said. "Dere amt no appeal
from dis cote."-St. Louis Star.

Germs In
Her System,
Every Woman Should Read This Ad-
vice and the Generous Offer That
Goes With it.

The number of diseases peculiar to
women is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere
mention of their names, and it is a
fact that most of the diseases are of a
catarrhal nature. A woman cannot
be well if there is a trace of catarrn
in her system
Some women think there is no help
for them. We positively declare this
to be mistaken idea. We are so
sure of this that we offer to supply
medicine absolutely free of all cost
in every instance where it fails to
give satisfaction, or does not substan-
tiate our claims. With this under
standing, no woman should hesitate
to believe our honesty of purpose, or
hesitate to put our claims to test.
There is only one way to overcome
catarrh. That way is through the
blood. You may use all the snuffs,
touches or like remedies for years
without getting more than temporary
relief at best. Catarrh in general is
a diseased condition of the system that
shows locally most frequently in dis
charges from the mucous membranes.
Local treatment should be assisted by
internal treatment for the general dis
eased condition if a complete cure is
to be reached. That internal treat
ment should be scientifically devised
and faithfully administered.
Rexall Muco-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for thirty years
made catarrh his specially. This rem
edy is admirably adapted to the treat
ment of the catarrhal ailments of wo-
men. 1t purifies and enriches the
blood tends to stop mucous discharg-
es,. aids in removing impurities from
the system, soothes, heals and
strengthens the mucous tissues and
brings about feeling of health and
strength.
We want you to try Rexall Muco-
Tone on our guarantee. If you are
not benefited, or for any reason not
satisfied, simply tell us and we will
hand back your money. Rexall Muco-
Tone comes in two sizes, 80 cents and
Sl.0O. Remember, you can obtain

brother was forced into a quarrel. In
the midst of the heated dispute it is
claimed that Ed drew his gun and
leveled it on John Romine.
Draw your gun, John, warned his
brother. Wen finish this right here"
John Romine drew his weapon.
None of the brothers kinsmen or the
plantation employees offered interior
ence. A distance was paced off, and
the two brothers stood up, waiting for
the word to begin the fight that would
mean the death of one of them, when
VIII Romine rushed up, a cooked re-
volver in his hand.
The brothers began firing. Will
saw that his fathers aim was bad,
while his uncle was shooting with
GOODNESS.
"My God. I can't stand for this, 7"
shouted Will, then aiming his revolver
at his uncle, he shot five times. Every

InfideI's Epitaph May Cause
Removal from Cemetery.
Inscription on Shaft Of Eccentric and
Wealthy Pennsylvania Called
Sacrilegious and Causes Off,.
Gals Much Worry.

Trenton, N. J.-Agitation is on in
the little town of Morrisville, Pa.
across the Delaware river from the
old Morrisville cemetery, the head
stone over the grave of Samuel Nc
Cracker, because of an epitaph which
townfolk say is sacrilegious.
1t is stone tablet, erected in the
midst of the graves of revolutionary
and civil war heroes. prominent
clergymen, and citizens, and bears
this inscription:
In memory of Samuel McCracken,
who died April 10, 1862.
IF leading politicians and priests
All go to heaven then l am bound
To stop at some other station"
Officers of the cemetery association
are at sea as to what to do, as they
say they are legally bound to permit
the headstone to remain. In order to
get around the contract made by
McCracken with the cemetery asso
citation, 1t has been suggested that all
of the bodies be exhumed and re-
moved to a new plot of ground, leav-
ing the McCracken plot the only one
in the cemetery. Relatives of Nc
Cracker assert that this would not
be legal
McCracken, who, many years ago,
owned half the town and entertained
lavishly, posed as an old-time coun-
try gentleman, and was considered q
jolly good fellow by all who knew
him. He was lenient with his ten
ants generous to their children, and
sympathetic with them in their dis
tress. His home was filled with guests
almost continually. as the host loved
company.
In his boyhood he took a dislike to
religion, and in his manhood was an
infidel. He despised politics and poll
ticians. mo decent gentleman is
politician" was his contention. His
hatred for the clergy in general was
intense. He also believed that when
man became MORALLY i'll he should
not wait for death.
His wife was Christian woman

and her charities were extensive.

On April IS, 1862. he committed sui.

buried, according to his instructions,

After his headstone was erected,
church workers became indignant, not
only because of the epitaph itself, but
because it should be placed over Mrs.

conspicuous part of the graveyard.
This is the inscription over the
grave of Mrs. McCracken:

SEATTLE, Aug. 25.-From pri-
vate advices received today by the
leaders in the machinists' strike
on the sound. it seems likely that
the final touch in the fight be-
tween coast capital and labor
will come September 1, with the
strike of the thousands of men
employed in the metal trades in
San Francisco.
In every city from Los Angeles
TO Vancouver, B. c., the metal
workers are out, except in San
Francisco. Until the last 4S hours
1t was not anticipated that there
would be any trouble at San Fran
cisco because of the disaster that
would result from a general strike
there, but reports to strike leaders
here today show that the metal
trades association in San Francis
co has refused the demands of the
workers there, and that unless a
settlement is made before Septem-
Der 1 every shipyard. foundry

will be tied up.
: Information also comes that il
the metal workers are forced out
in San Francisco without being
given chance for conference with
the employers, that every union
resource nthe coast will be used
to make the fight a general one.

BRIDGE OPEN
TOO MUCH

Every day dozens of teams are
compelled to wait from 10 min
utes to half an hour, and hun
dreds of citizens are held up by
swinging the Eleventh street
bridge. Counting the loss Of time
1t is figured that Tacoma loses
hundreds of dollars day by the
delay in traffic.
The commission this morning
instructed City Attorney Stiles to
draw an ordinance to keep the
bridge closed more. The ordi-
nance will be so framed that lit
tie boats will have to cut off
their masts or hinge them to get
through.
The supreme court of the Unit
ed States, according to Judge
Stiles, has held that land traffic
cannot be held up by water craft
and swinging bridges when it can
be avoided by little preparation
on the part of the ships.
