SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY
A Vegetable Element That is Rapidly
Doing Away With the Use OF
CalOmel.

Mack's Drug Store is one of the
first progressive concerns to offer for
sale the new system Of medicine that
is fast supplanting the use of old
fashioned calomel as liver medicine.
Nearly everyone knows how easily
the liver becomes sluggish in this
climate and how this sluggishness
effects not only all the other physl-
cal organs but the mind as well.
The signal towers of this dread
condition, which some call malaria
are coated tongue, lack OF energy,
dull eyes, constipation, salloW COM

Taken with regularity this proven
scientific liquid vegetable medicine IN
the form of CARSWELL'S LIVER

all liver troubles.

BIG BEAR GOES ON SPREE.
Terrorizes Town Until He is Lassoed
BY Snowman.

After escaping from his cage, a
large cinnamon bear tore things loose
in Braddock this afternoon.
Bruin, a performing member OF a
wild West circuit, had a taste for lire
water. After gaining his liberty, ne
made for the saloon of Kent McAtee,
and, taking possession, sat down and
drank two bottles of whiskey. He
then sailed forth into the street on
a rampage. Rolling from side to side,
the big beast defied every effort to
capture him. He lurched into sew
eral teams, throwing the horses into
a panic. Show cases and everything
movable that happened to be in his
way went down, including several
pedestrians who were slow on foot
work.
Finally bruin entered fruit store
and, after gorging himself, climbed
to the top girder of the West Brad
dock bridge, where he was lassoed by
Ed Walters, a cowman from the show.

MAKING THE MOST OF TT.
FORGIVEN Chicken Thief Wants All
That's Coming to Him.

One night few weeks ago farm
er living near Grassy Lick, this coun-
ty. was called by his neighbors, who
noticed a light in his barn, situated
some distance from his house, and
when he went to investigate found an
old negro there with large sack of
corn and a couple of chickens.
The old negro had been living in
the neighborhood for several years,
and the farmer was greatly disap-
pointed in finding him to be the
thief. He talked to him rather sharp
ly, and told him what a chance ne
had taken by lighting matches in the
barn, etc. The negro said: "No,
boss, was very keerful; my old hoss
was hungry, and while I was here
lest thought I'd get couple OF hens. -
The farmer said: "Well, don't want
to see your horse suffer; go ahead
and take the corn, but don't do this
any more"
The negro thanked him, shoulder
ed the corn, and, turning around,
said: "Boss, where's my hens?-

INCOME EXCEEDS EXPENSES.
McAdoo's Figures Show $3O,OOO,OOO
Surplus for U. S.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Estimates
tonight by Secretary McAdoo indicat-
ed that the Government income for
the fiscal year ending June 80 will
exceed ordinary expenses by about
s30.OOO,OOO. This is about 0,000,-
600 less than last years surplus.
Income tax returns have fallen below
original estimates, but the customs
houses turned in about $21 100000
more than predicted. Whatever sur
plus there is will be absorbed by
Panama Canal payments, as it was
last year.
Secretary McAdoo estimated that
this years ordinary receipts would
aggregate 1888, 100000. and the to-
tai ordinary disbursements $703.00O,
GOO. Total receipts for the last fiscal
year we're 723, 3,7S2,S21. with ordinary
disbursements Of sSS,6ss,6s2.
"The ordinary internal revenue re-
ceipts will probably be about $S22,-
100000, a decrease of about one mill
ion from the origainal estimates, y
said Secretary McAdoo in statement
tonight
'.The additional internal receipts
will probably amount to about $751;
100000, the total excise tax assess
ments to date against corporations is
between s43,OO0,000 and $4,000
900, about s2,4O0,000 in excess of
the estimate. The personal income
tax assessments to date are $3O,75O,-
600, which is s3,250,000 less than
the estimate. The total assessment
on corporations and individuals will
be at least s75,O00,O00. The miscel-
Ianeous receipts will probably be
about S56,0OO,000, decrease of
about s3,OOO,O0O below the estl-
mates"
"The department is convi vinced that
many liable to the income tax have
failed to make returns and that many
have made inaccurate returns. Ac-
tive steps will be taken to discover
all evasions of the law and a large
additional amount undoubtedly will
be collected from these delinquents. y

WILL KILL FREE TOLLS.
Representatives Pass Without For
maIity Senate Amendment.

Washington, June 12.-Only Presi-
dent Wilson's signature is necessary
to repeal the clause of the Panama
Canal Act exempting American coast
wise shipping from tolls. The long
and bitter fight in Congress came to
an end to-day, when the House, after
brief debate and without the formali-
ty of a conference, accepted by vote
of 216 to II the Senate amendment
specially reserving all rights the
United States may have under the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty or otherwise
The President is expected to sign
the measure Monday. 1t was just a
little more than three months ago
that he addressed the House and Sen
ate in joint session, urgently asking
for repeal Of the exemption clause
that the nation might keep its treaty
obligations. Speaker Clark was out
of the city to-day, but he and Vice
President Marshall will attach their
signatures to the bill tomorrow and
send it to the White House.
Before ending the contest by con-
curing in the Senate amendment the
House voted down, 174 to 10S, pro-
posal advanced by Representative
Moss, of West Virginia, to attach to
the repeal a fat declaration Of the
right Of the United States to exempt
it's vessels from tolls and Of the SOW
ereignty of the United States over the
Canal Zone.
Heated Debate.
During the discussion to-day there
were flashes of heat in the debate,
which characterized the original con-
sideration of the measure. Repre-
sentative Underwood, the Democratic
leader, although voting for the Sen
ate amendment, said that Congress
should never have made this I'm
American surrender" and called the
amendment "ineffectiye and mega
tive Republican Leader Mann, who
had vigorously opposed repeal, sup
ported the amendment, declaring 1t
left the entire question of the rights
of this country to be determined in
the future.
Representative Glass, of Virginia,
attacked the Democratic leaders who
opposed the measure. He denounc-
ed the Outrageous assaults made on
the President" by the Republicans,
and expressed indignation "at the
leaders of the Democratic side who
have aspersed their own colleagues
because they would not follow them
into the camp of the Republican
party in advocacy of the Republican
doctrine"
"Mr. Speaker" he added, 81 think
you will search the political records
of this country in vain to find such
a spectacle as we have found here in
this Congress-the leaders of the
Democratic party deserting their par
ty and standing shoulder to shoulder
with Republican leaders against a
Democratic President
