Heart Trouble Quickly Cured. A Convincing Testimonial. W> Miss Ella Kurtz. "For 19 years I suffered from heart trouble. During that time I was treated by five different physicians. All of them ' claimed that I could not be cured. I was greatly troubled with shortness of breath, palpitation and pain in the side. If I became excited, or exerted myseif in the least, the pain in my side Became very severe. At times it seemed as t hough needles were shooting through mg side. Sometime in the month of November last, I commenced taking DR. MILES’ HEART CURE and since then I have improved steadily. I can now sleep on my left side, something I had never been able to do before. I can •walk without being fatigued, and am in much better health than ever before, 1 1 would recommend ail sufferers from heart trouble to try Dr. Miles' invaluable remedy Without delay.” MISS ELLA KURTZ, 518 Wright St., Milwaukee, Wis.

There is and there always has been inequality in the world in spite of the striving of generous hearts and enlightened minds for equality. Although equality has never ceased to show itself and effect itself within the different orders, and in modern times to characterize at least superficially that large composite order which we call good society, civilization is still embruited and endangered by inequality. One need not allege instances. They are abdundant in every-orfe’s experience and observation, and"those who dzead or affect to dread sho dead level of equality are quite right ""in saying that even in a political democracy there is as inequality as anywhere. But this does not prove that they are right in admiring it that it is not offensive and stupid. Inequality still persists, but so does t heft, so does murder, so does unchastity, so do almost all the sins and shames that ever were. Inequality is, in fact, the sum of them. In the body of this death they fester and corrupt forever. As long as we have inequality we shall have these sins and shames, which spring from it and which live on from inferior to superior. . Few vices live from equal to equal, but the virtues flourish.—“ Equality as the Basis of Good Society,” by W. D. Howells in Century. The Discovery Saved His Life. Mr. G. Cailloutte, druggist, Beaverville, 111., says: “To Dr. King’s New Discovery 1 owe my life. Was taken with LaGrippe and tried all the physicians forinilesabout, but of no avail and was given up and fold 1 could not live. Having Dr. King’s New' Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dose began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and around again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won’t keep store or house'without it.” Get a free trial at Blackburn & Miller’s Drug Store. Shoe Dealer Makes an Assignment. Logansport, Ind., Feb. 11.—William H.

RESULTS OF THE BIDS Morgan Syndicate Will Only Get OneThird of the Bond Issue. < REST ARE WIDELY DISTRIBUTED. Much Surprise Expressed at the High Range of the Bids — Bill Prohibiting Prizefighting In Hie Territories Now a Law-Mr. Frye of Maine Elected President Pro Tern of Hie Senate. Washington, Feb. B.—The treasury has completed its tabulation of the bids above the Morgan syndicate bid. The -/result is 781 bids for a total of $66,788,650. This leaves the amount which will be awarded to the Morgan syndicate $33,211,350. The treasury rejected a few bids for the reason that they bore evidence of being fictitious, so that the amounts stated are the corrected figures. The fact that two-thirds of the entire issue are found to have been at rates ranging above 110.6877 is something of a surprise to all who heard the bids announced. ANTI-PRIZEFIGHT BILL. President Cleveland Attaches His Signatitre and It is Now the Law. Washington, Feb. 8. —The Catron bill to prevent prizefighting in the District of Columbia and territories was signed by the president yesterday afternoon. The bill did not reach the white house until late and in its case the usual routine was departed from and the measure taken at once to Mr. Cleveland, who promptly attached his signature after examing its provisions. Prizefighting is now a felony on all soil over which the federal government has exclusive jurisdiction. The bill places upon the governor of New Mexico the responsibility for the prevention of the Fitzsimmons-Mafier 1 mill in that territory. The governor has been informed of the signature of the act, so that he is fully aware that it is the law of the land. The national government is now prepared to make it very unpleasant and dangerous for any person who participates in a prizefight in any of the federal territories or who gives aid and comfort to the wouldbe fighters by assembling at any point to witness a fight.
