/ == MYSTERIES! The Nervous System the Seat of Life and Mind. Recent Wonderful Discoveries. No mystery has ever compared with that of human life. It has been the leading subject nt professional research and study in all ages. But notwithstanding this fact it is not generally known ■ that the seat t W /ZtX 1 qx\ of hfe is Idca- * /XX v I ted in the up11 It.j’ \ A V<x\ per part of the .fl’ I l-X'.xlz’v-' <jL] Hgl 1 spinal cord, ” / )->- JcL-rvl I near *he base (J / of'tie brain, Cl ' J f and so sensi/A / t- lvo is this / A / portion of the teal T / nervous sys2 \ / tem that even C* \ / the prick of a ) \ I I needle will I . -1 | cause instant , J I | death. Recent discoveries have demonstrated that all the organs of the body are under the con-inol-of the nerve centers, located in or near A’ the base of the brain, and t hat when these are uderanged the organs which they supply with s jnerve fluid are also deranged. When it is reYimembered that a serious Injury to the spinal ZTord will cause paralysis of the body below " the Inju’ed point, because the nerve force is by the injury from reaching the ,/paralyz.ed portion, it will bo understood how J the derangement of the nerve centers will cause the derangement of the varldus organs which they supply with nerve force.-Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to the imperfect action of the nerve centers at the base of the brain, not from a derangement primarily originating in the organ itself. The great mistake of physicians in treating these diseases is that they treat the organ rather than the nerve centers which are the cause of the trouble. . Dr. Franklin Miles, the celebrated specialist.,has profoundly studied this subject for .“ver2oyears, and has made many important discoveries in connection with it, chief among them being the facts contained in the above statement, and that the ordinary methods of treatment are wrong. All headache, dizziness, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues, mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, St, ♦Vitus dance, etc., are nervous diseases ho ’matter how caused. The wonderful success of Dr. Mlles* Restorative Nervine is due to the fact that It is basedontheforegoingprlndple. I Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine id sold by all druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent direct by Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind., on receipt of price.

IIBSIMSS IT AN END. 80 Say Republicans, Who Are Inclined Even to Prevent Speeches. 1 _ I NOT A QUORUM IN SIGHT. Senate Democrat* Threaten to Secure It If the Minority Become* Recalcitrant, i Mr. Wllnon Kxpecta the President on Thursday — Conimlsaloner Miller Prepared For the New Law—Other News. Washington, Aug. 21.—The Repul>licans say there will lie no more businesH of importance transacted in the senate this session, except perhaps the passing of the bill correcting the alcohol schedule. Their leaders say this session is over with to all intents and purposes, and they include in this the making of speeches as well as passage of bills. Yesterday, from the time the senate met until it went into executive session, Senator Lindsay of Kentucky was ready to make a speech. The Kentucky senator desires to defend the action of the senate finance committee and the Democratic senators who supported them. It is also understood that Senator Allison of .lowa was ready to make a speech of some length on the present status of tariff legislation. It is possible that both of these speeches may be made by the courtesy of thCfsenate, but some Republicans claim that the interdict against any more business includes also speeches. Some of the Democrats assert, however, that if any attempt is made to prevent the speeches on the Democratic side a quorum of the Democratic side will be recalled under duress by the ser-geant-at-arms. This may lead to some ugly feeling if insisted upon. If Senator Lindsay should get the floor he cbuld not be interrupted by points of no quorum, as he could not be taken off the floor without his consent, but whenever the attempt is made to call up the resolution upon which hm is to speak the point can be made, and The present indications are that when the senate meets again tomorrow there will not be a quorum present, as a number of senators intend leaving before theii. Senator Harris has given notice that immediately after the reading of the journal tomorrow he will move an executive session. This is in the interest of Judge Porter of Tennessee, whom he desires to have confirmed. SLOWLY DISINTEGRATING. Senate Quorum Difficult to Find—Free Bills on the Calendar. Washington, Aug. 21.—For fifteen or twenty minutes yesterday the business of the senate was suspended while the sergeant-at-arms was sent in search of an actual quorum. The senate was 18 ghort of a voting quorum, only 25 senators having voted on a nonpolitical "motion, thus showing tliat congress is slowly disintegrating. The four supplemental tariff bills were all reported from the finance committee and sent to the calendar. Several bills were passed, among thorn a bill for' the speedy prosecution of the claim of the United States against the estate of the late Leland Stanford. Adjournment was taken until Wednesday after an executive session. HAS POOR PROSPECTS. Il John Scott Harrison Seeking Confirmation as a Surveyor of Customs. Washington, Aug. 21.—J. Scott Har- ' rison of Kansas City, a brother of ex- I .President Harrison, is here trying to coax the senate to epnfirm him as sur- i veyor of customs of the Kansas City port. He was nominated for that office j by President Cleveland early in the ad- I ministration and his nomination was re- | jected by the senate. The nomination seems to have been made largely on sentiment, for although Harrison was a Democrat he had voted for his brother , for president. The entire Democratic , delegation from Missouri opposed him. I He is.not likely to be confirmed and the president has said that he will not reappoint him if this congress adjourns with- ! out confirmation. TROUBLE' WITH THE NEGROES. Democratic League Wants the Source of i Alleged AssesNinents Abolished. Washington, Aug. 21.—Trouble with ' the negro ranks has been caused by the ! action of the Afro-American bureau of organization of the Democratic congressional committee in sending alleged political assessment letters to negro ' officeholders. The Negro National Dem- ' ocratic league has taken a decisive stand ■ against the bureau, and President Astwood and Rev. P. H. White, secretary of the league, will probably today submit a recommendation for the abolishment of the bureau to Senator Faulkner z and Lawfence Gardner of the emigres-/ sional committee. This action is the nysult of a discussion held gt the conference of the league at Indianapolis Jist week. NO INTENTION OF RESIGNING. Secretary Carlisle’s Friends Deny a Story Now In Circulation. Washington, Aug. 21. — The story that Secretary Carlisle and the president are not in thorough accord as to the policy which should be pursued, and that Mr. Carlisle will tender his resignation, is emphatically denied by the secretary’s son Logan. Everyone else who holds confidential relations with the sec- | retary also asserts that Mr. Carlisle has no intention of severing his connection with the adfninistfation. Judge Porter’s Nomination. Washington,- Aug. 21.—The Porter nomination was taken up by the. senate in executive session yesterday, but was not passed upon owing to the.lack of a quorum. It has transpired that a vote was taken on this nomination at the exsession Saturday. Counting those voting, the result was 13 for and 15 against confirmation. This being less than a quotum the forced to adjourn without action. Thanks For the President. Washington, Aug. 21.—A handsomely engrossed set of resolutions adopted

by the Chicago Union League cjub, thanking the president for using the United States troops at Chicago during the strike, was received at the white house yesterday. IT WAS WONDERFUL LUCK. Commissioner Miller Ready For Changes Under the New Tariff Act. Washington, Aug. 21.—Commissioner Miller of the internal revenue bureau, in consideration of the changes which will be made in the rate of internal reve-1 nue taxes under the new tariff act, hat completed every arrangement for carrying it into effect as soon as it becomes a COMMISSIONER JOSEPH S. MILLER. law. New designs for stamps for playing cards have been approved and the work of printing and packing them will begin at once, so that every revenue district in the country Mill be supplied as soon as the stamps can be carried to them by the mails after the bill becomes a law. A new design for a stamp to be used in rewarehousing spirits in general bonded warehouses will also be ready for issue, as will the new stamp taxing leaf tobacco sold by dealers direct to consumers as manufactured tobacco. Circulars of instructions in all cases have been prepared and everything is in complete readiness for the change. Commissioner Miller spent much of yesterday at the capitol. He says it will be exceedingly difficult to secure effective treasury regulations under the provision as it stands in the alcohol bill, and estimates that it will result in a loss of $lO,000,000 in revenue if not repealed. It is possible that the bill correcting the error may pass the senate tomorrow by unanimous consent, some leading Republicans saying they will not object. The attention of the treasury officials was called to the point of an error in the punctuation of Section 10 of the free list, which might be construed to prohibit the importation of all drugs and medicines. After a careful reading of the original bill it was the unanimous opinion that such a construction would be forced and nonsensical. V ELAND’S RETU KN. Mr. Wilson Expects Him to Reach Washington by Thursday. Washington, Aug. 21. —Chairman Wilson of the ways and means committee reached Washington from Long Branch last evening. His early return was connected with rumors that President Cleveland would come to Washington at once and that some action on the tariff bill was to be expected. Mr. Wilson denies these statements, but says tliat he looks for the president’s return Thursday. Finding so many senators away from the city, he does" not think that there will lie any action upon the separate-tariff bills this session. Restriction on Sale of Shoddy. Washington, Aug. 21.—Representative Richards of Ohio has introduced a bill to restrain and regulate the importai tioii. manufacture and sale of shoddy./ 1 It provides that no fabric or garment I containing shoddy shall be sold unless/it I is labeled plainly,, Showing the protior- - tion of shoddy contained. ■ /' When Martin Will Start Honie.
