A new man
can be made, out of one that’s
“ used-up,” bilious and dyspeptic.
It’s done by Dr. Pierce’ s; Golden
Medical Discovery. It starts the
torpid liver into healthful action,
purifies and enriches the blood,
cleanses, repairs, and strengthens
the system, and restores health and
‘vigor. As an appetizing, restoraé
tive tonic, it sets at Work all the
processes of digestion and nutri--
tion, and builds up flesh and
strength. It’s the only Blood and
Liver Remedy that’s guaranteed, in
every case, to benefit or cure. If it
doesn’t do all that’s claimed for it, -
the money is promptly I'efunded.
But it keeps its promises—that’s
the reason it can be sold In this
way.
“Discovery” strengthens Weak
Lungs, and cures Spitting Of Blood,
Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis,
Severe Coughs, and kindred affec-
tions. Don’t be fooled into taking
something else, said to be “just as
' good, ” that the dealer may make a
larger profit. There’s nothing at
all like the “Discovery.”

PORT RIcuMOND, S: If; Aug. ELIE): Sen- '
ator Ingalls, of Kansas, addressed a large
‘jThe
ond Century." Amongw other things, he
said the liquor question arid the best way
to deal with it u as one of the greatest
problems of the times. He was a resident
of one of' the greatest prohibition states 5
and was a prohibitionist himself in prac-
. Itice and only took a drink when hewanted
, it, which w as not Often.
‘ peOple had been wr estling with the liquor
In Kansas the
question for the past ten years, yet there
was not a town in the state where a man
could not get liquor when he wanted it.
More t.h 111 $900, 000,000 was spent in the.
United States for liquor. eVery year—more
than was expended for bread and meat
and public education together. In this
ount1 y every man should be entitled to a
vote and have is honestly counted. The
people were the rulers and every man
should be a politician. The republic as a
whole had been tolerably successful, but
from what the speaker had seen and heard
in the last fifteen years it was still on
trial. A He believed the socialist was'right,
but he quarreled with his methods. It
was no wonder that men revolted when
the great mass. of the American people
had before them continuous toil with 11.0 '
prospect but. mcndicamcy for old age. The
tyiaut ol' m-alth was more 1' Ital than the
despotism of kings. He had been often
asked to suggest a renudy, but he had
none. His was but a voice cryisgin the
Wilderness.

that we had had enough, and that we

also, andwe stood facing each other. We

Th; Locomotive to Go.
The enormous mass of extra dead Weight

water in the old locomotive will be entirely

will show a motor on every axle, or at any
rate upon two axles of eabh car, and every
car running as a unit, in which case they
can be run coupled together in a train or
not, as may be convenient. Oberlin Smith
has entered a. strong protest against carry-
ing this enormous dead weight of a low
motive for absolume no purpose. We
have the weight of the cars, plus the pas-
sengers or freight, for purposes of traction,
even if we make our cars in future of light-
er material.
In speaking of the lightness of the future
conveyance by rail, Mr. Smith says that
we shall not only use steel and aluminum,
but paper, India rubber and other fibrous
substances,'which will give us remarkably
light cars, far beyond anything we now
speak of practically. Just as a. wheelbar-
row is to a. bicycle, so will our present
clumsy cars be to the future ones. To have
a b' 'uotor car loaded with tons of ballast
to :51 v0 it traction is following the path of
steam locomotion; in all probability the
necessary adhesion will soon be gained by
electricity—New York Commercial Adver-

A Cruel Trick,
The desire of young married people to
prevent the traveling public from ascer-
taining that they are on their bridal tour
was sadly thwarted in. the case of a young
couple who recently came to this city to
spend their honeymoon. They were mar-
ried in a small town in Connecticut and
started on their honeymoon on aspecial
' train that also carried a. large number of
the wedding guests to the nearest city. No
soonerhad the train left the station than
huge placards were noticed on the Win-
dows near which the happy couple sat.
They read, “J 11st. Married,” “Just Mar-
ried.” The travelers had a good laugh, in
which even the bride and groom felt
obliged to join. They did not laugh, how-
ever, when they reached their hotel in this
city, as their trunks were brought to their
rooms with printed placards “Just Mar-
ried,” “Just Married,” pasted all over
them.—New York Times
Gentlemen Give Up Their Seats.
No one Will attempt to defend the man
who, under ordinary circumstances, keeps
«his seat While any woman, he she young or
old, rich or' poor, handsome or homely, is
obliged tostand. A just plea may be offered
on behalf of atired man who has secured a
seat in a car or an elevated train, and who
declines to yield it to u. buxom, unwearied
young girl who has evidently not spent the
day on her feet in a , factory or behind a
counter. No excuse can be urged, how-
ever, for the men who push their way ahead
of women‘into the so called “ladies’ cabin”
of a. ferryboat and-fill its seats while their
rightful owners are 5 obliged to stand.
Whether there, or‘ in car, train 01' Stage, a
man with the instincts of a gentleman will
usually prefer to undergo fatigue rather
than prove guilty of the discourtesy of re—
