J. H. HELLER, Manager. THE TARIFF TO BE REVISED HIGHER The Republican majority in congress has worked nearly four months on their tariff bill. When the bill shall finally be passed the average of duties will be much higher than they are now under the Dingley law. The Dingley rates are admittedly higher than was necessary for “protection,” even according to the Republican idea in 189", when the “protection” craze was at high tide. Having, in the last campaign, promised a revision which they made the people believe would be downward, the Republicans have not only revised the tariff upward, as the Democrats de dared they would, but they give the president authority to increase the rates 25 per cent additional. A commission is to be created to advise the president about this 25 per cent increase. This commission is to be appointed by the president, and he fixes the salaries and the term of service. JThe members of this commission will all be Republicans and “protectionists.”

A Democratic senator asked that the commission be made non-partisan, but this proposition was, with the exception of Senator LaFollette, unanimously opposed by the Republican majority. The Republicans have shown that they intend to keep everything relating to the tariff in their own hands. One would think that those Democratic senators who voted in several instances with Aldrich would feel that they had sold their political honor for a mess of potage—and then didn't get the pottage. If Colonel Durbin is actually a candidate for the senate to succeed Beveridge ,what does he propose to do about his old friend’ Colonel Hanly. If Colonel Durbin mounts the dapple gray county option hobby-horse, Col. Hanly will bestride his milk-white prohibition steed. The color of the Beveridge animal is not definite, but he has been entered for the go. It ought to be a funny race. Indeed, it will be a funny race —while it lasts, The straight-laced temperance and prohibition advocates no doubt received a mortifying jar the other day when they read in the newspaper dispatches that E. H. Harriman had been ordered by his physicians to take up the simple diet of bread and beer. And when you think of it there is little doubt but that Mr. Harriman will be greatly benefited if not permanently cured by this simple treatment. Dr. Struempell of Bemmering, Austria, is the greatest specialist in the world, but he will get his from the ranting prohibitionists who will decry the treatment while the brewer and his ally will pronounce him the greatest soul saver of modern times. So it will be seen that even the .greatest (medical specialist in the world has a hard time In suiting the delicate tastes of human kind. NATURE’S REMEDIES FOR DISEASE.

Nature provides more effective remedies in tne roots and herbs of the field than were ever produced from drugs. Thirty years ago, Lydia E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass., discovered and gave to the women of the world a remedy made from roots and herbs, which has proved more efficacious in curing women’s diseases than any other medicine the world has ever known, and today Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is looked upon everywhere as the standard remedy for woman's ills.

WOMAN, LOVELY WOMAN. But Alas, Without Beautiful Hair No Woman Can be Handsome. A great many newspapers and magazines are printing pages on how a woman can be beautiful And every one, as you can see for yourself, admits that no woman can be really beautiful unless she has lustrous and luxuriant hair. The women of Paris, are, as a rule, beautifuland keep beautiful, and a careful American observer who has traveled much claims that their beauty Is due to their knowledge of how to keep their hair luxuriant, which they do by using a superior hair tonic. Many American women are as wise as their French sisters, and that is why Parisian Sage, the quick acting and greatest of all hair restorers, and tonics, is now having such a tremendous sale in America. We ask every woman reader of this paper to give this marvelous hair beautifier a thorough trial, and we gladly make them this liberal offer: Get a large 50 cent bottle from Holthouse Drug Co. today, the largest for the money in America. Use it as directed for two weeks. If at at the end of that time you are not satisfied with results, say so to Holthouse Drug Co. and they will give you your money back. Besides being a delightful and invigorating hair dressing, free from grease and stickiness, Parisian Sage will surely cure dandruff, stop falling hai rand itching of ’be scalp, or money back. The girl with the Auburn hair is on every package, and leading druggists in every town sell Parisian Sage.

COURT HOUSE NEWS Judge Macy Cannot Come Here July 14th as Was Arranged by Lawyers ABSENT FROM HOME The Big Case Will Not be Decided for Several Weeks at Least Attorneys Peterson & Moran, are in receipt of a letter from J. W. Macy, Jr., son of Judge Macy, which shows another delay in a verdict in the Gallmeier land case, which was tried here several months ago and in which a decision has never been rendered. Shortly after the trial was completed Judge Macy, who heard the case, became sick and for a numoer of weeks could not take care of any of his legal duties. He is some better now, but by no means in good health. When a case is not decided during term time it must go over until the next term, unless by agreement of all the parties It may be decided in vacation. Wishing to dispose of the matter the attorneys in the case had agreed to the judge deciding the case on the fourteenth and wrote him to that effect. This morning's letter said that the judge was absent and would not be home until the last of the month and consequently some other date will have to be chosen or the matter allowed to go over until September.
