nf a n't >nt lit rill al nd "" 'I loss of energv which leads finally to consumption is not always very rapid, but if it isn't stopped it will presently begin to saw its way into the most vital part of the bodv, the lungs. There would be very little constimotion if every family would keep Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery in the house, and use it whenever feeling “out of sorts." It keeps the entire body in such a high condition of health and forcefulness that wasting diseases have no chance to get a foot-hold. A teaspoonful or two before meals, in a little water, gives the digestive organism power to assimilate the blood-making, nerve-toning, strength - building properties of the food. It enables the liver and excretory system to clear the circulation of bilious poisons and remove all waste matter from the body. It replaces worn out tissue with hard muscular fl. sh, and changes weakness and debilitv into active power and nerve force. The originator of this great “ Discovery. ” R. V. Pierce, M. D., is chief consulting physician to the great Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute if Buffalo, N. V . at the head of a staff of nearly a score of eminent associate physicians and surgeons. He has acquired, in his over thirty years of active practice, a reputation second to no living physician in the treatment of obstinate, chronic diseases. His prescriptions must r.ot be confounded with the numerous “boom” remedies, “extracts,” “compounds.” and “sarsaparillas, ” which a profit-seeking druggist is often ready to urge as a substitute. Dr. Pierce’s medicines are the product of nude experience and deep study. Any one may consult him by mail free of charge.

FAVOR A REPUBLIC SENOR CASTELAR PETITIONED TO PROCLAIM ONE IN SPAIN. Bnt It Is Claimed lie Will Refuse to Act and Will Make a Speech In the Cortes In Support of the Democratic Monarchy—Late News of the fleet. Madrid, April 26.—About 20,000 Republicans, of all shades of opinion, have signed an address to Seuor Castelar, the Republican leader, under the pretext of congratulating him upon his recovery from recent sickness, but in reality offering him their sendees if he proclaims a republic. Seuor Castelar has so far made no reply, but it is certain that he will now emerge lrum his retirement from parliament, into which he has not put foot for the past 20 years, although constantly returned to the cones. His coming speech in the cortes will, it is said, dispel the idea that he is heading a revolution. On me contrary, it is asserted, Seuor Castelar will, from patriotic niv, lives, uot oppose the present democratic monarchy. Sen <r O.isielars speech will be a pane gyrie of Spains past greatness. It will lament the “sudden conversion of the United states into provoking of an unjust war” uuu will express Keen disappointment at die (Jutted States "retroceding into the baibarHiu of war, inasmuch as t-e republican leaders enthusiastically upheld the United States as the harbingers of universal peace, whose grand prosperity contrasted with the i nil asotiubleue.', of the European powers, who maintained armaments for rnnious warfare and who were continually menai-iug peace and civt izatiou.” Seuor Catstelar “appreciating tne valor of hts connirymeu,’’ will predict “ihat the quarrel between tne yoUDg and nnwarn-ie na.iou and the oldest d ntiiig mo in the world will result in tne traditional heroism of Spain inflicting severe chastisement on the prestige a.id material interests of tne big democ.atio rtq.uj.ic, Wuosa existence and I- -periiy is due to Spanish discovery and support when America cast olf the yoke of England ” QUIET WITH THE FLEET.

It is believed that every steamer which has attempted to enter Havana siuce the blockade begau has been captured. Klglits nf Search. Madrid, April 20.—The Official Ga* zette published the instructions of the Spanish government respecting the right of search of neutrals vessels. In brief, they set forth that war ships may detain merchantmen in any non-neutral waters, for the purpose of verifying the authenticity of the flag, and for examining the cargo, if the vessel is bound for a hostile port.

This will be the largest regiment ever raised in Kentucky, and will be composed of the flower of the Blnegrass youth. Ex-Congressman W. C. Owens of Georgetown will command a battalion of the regiment. v Northern Indiana Regiment. Valparaiso, Ind., April 26. —A call has been issued for a meeting tonight to organize a volunteer company for service against Spain, in case the govern- I ment should issue anotiier call. The company will form part of a regiment to be organized in northern Indiana by Charles F. Griffin of Hammond. High School Building Darned. Winchester. Ind., April 26. — The high school building here was totally destroyed by fire. The loss is 33,000. No one injured. We obtain considerable wool from .Russia, together with horsehair cloth, albumen of blood and Hebrew books, very little of liquors, but much flax, hemp, bristles, fish bladders aud human hair. The Russian has a good deal of hair to spare. The Netherlands, where the gem polishing industry flourishes, sends us but $ 12,000 worth of diamonds and $2,800,lob worth or Sumatra tobacco.

ARE CALLED TO ARMS Indiana National Gutrd Ordered to Assemble at Indianapolis. GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION. McKinley Send* a .Hwang© to Congress aud » Declaration of War Follows. Sherman Resigns and Is Succeeded by Day—Cutting of Cables. Other News of the War. Indianapolis, April 20. — Governor Mount last night at 6:15 received a telegram from the war department calling upon him to furnish four regiments of infantry (1,000 men each) and two batteries. This morning the governor issued the following proclamation, mobilizing the Indiana National Guard: To the People of Indiana: Whereas, In the progress of events, war has been inaugurated between the government of the United States and the government of Spain, and Whereas, The president of the United States, in pursuance of an act of congress, has issued a proclamation calling for 125,000 volunteers, of which number four regiments, approximating 1,000 4 /# Jy \ INDIANA NATIONAL GUARDSMAN, men each, and two batteries nave been apportioned to the state of Indiana. Now, therefore, I, James A. Mount, governor of the state of Indiana, acting on the authority vested in me by the constitution, do hereby call for the enlistment and mustering into the United States service of the number of men above stated who are qualified for military duty. In conformity with this call, the Indiana National Guard is hereby directed and commanded to report without delay to Brigadier General McKee at the fairgrounds of the state board of agriculture, near Indianapolis, a designated camp, where they will be mobilized and mustered into the service of the United States government in accordance witli the provisions of the proclamation issued by the president. All vacancies that exist or may occur in regiments, companies or batteries, will be immediately filled by the acceptance of volunteers, to the limit of the state’s quota, as designated by the authorities of the federal government.

Inasmuch as the number of men who are at this time tendering their services is far in excess of requirements, I deem it timely to announce in this connection that there will be no compulsion upon any member of the Indiana National Guard to enter the federal service except upon his own free will and accord. Any member of the National Guard “whose business affairs would be jeopardized or whose domestic relations would subject his family to inconvenience and hardship, will be permitted to stand aside honorably and without prejudice. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state, at the city of Indianapolis, April 25, 1898, the 82ad year of the state, and of the independence of the United States the 122nd. By the Governor: James A. Mount. William D. Owen, Secratarv of State. A United States army surgeon is expected here in a day or two, when the guard will be pat through a crucial examination aud then sworn into the United States service. It is not known jnst when the men will be ordered to the front. RENDEZVOUS FOR TROOPS. Where Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio Roys Will Master. Washington, April 26.—The rendezvous for the troops to be mustered in the service of the volunteer army in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois has been designated by Secretary Alger as follows: Illinois, Springfield; Indiana, Evansville; Kentucky, Louisville; Ohio, Columbus. For the pnrpo e of recruiting for the volunteer, as well as for the regular army, the department wiil designate it:

each state and territory several cities where recruiting under the direction of armv officers will be carried on. ibe Hull bill, which it is expected will become a law today, will urov.de for he increase of the regular army on a war footing to about 60,000 men. In addition to those recruiting statious it is expected the war department will designate boards of army officii who win go from place to place ia the state engaged in recruiting duty. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. Declaration That War Exists l as.e.l by United States CongressWashington, April 26.— President McKinley yesterday sent a message to congress transmitting the correspondence had with Spain through Minister MV nodford siuce the adoption of the joint reso- j lotion declaring for intervention in | Cuba, together with a copy of liis procla- j ination blockading the ports of Cuba, aud made the following recommendation: In view of the mensuras so taken, and with a view to the adoption of such other measures as may be necessary to enable me to carry out the expressed will m the congress of the United States, in the premise-, I now recoin me ail to vour honorable body the adoption of a joint resolution declaring thatstate of war exists between the United States of America and the kingdom of Spain, and I urge speedy action thereon to the end that the definition of the international statutes of the l mted Str. V in a belligerent power, may lie made known and the assertion of ;ul its . rights and the maintenance of all ns du . ties in the conduct of a public war may be assured. Immediately after the reading of the message the following bill, which had been prepared, was reported by the house foreign committee which was passed by the house in less than two , minutes after its introduction, and later in the day passed the senate. 1. That war be, and the same i 3 hereby declared to exist and that war has existed sine., the 21st day of April, A. D., 1898, including said day, between the United States of America aud the Kingdom of Spain. 2. That the President of the United States be, aud he hereby is, directed aud empowered to use the entire laud and naval forces of the United States, and to call into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several states, to such an extent as may be necessary to carry this act into effect. The bill reached the president after 6 o’clock last night, and after going over the phraseo.ogy with Attorney General Griggs, the only member of the cabinet present, the president signed and it became a law of the laud. CAULE ■ CUTTING. Xavy Department Without Information on the Subject. Washington. April 26.—Nothing is 1 known at the navy department of the reported cutting of the cable connecting Cuba with Key West, by the Mangrove, 10 miles out at sea. There is a good deal of doubt as to the accuracy of the report aud it is believed that the most that has been done in that direction has been the tapping of the cable for strategic purposes. The United States is a party to a convention which binds all the signatories, most of the marine powers of the world, to refrain from interference with cables in the event of war. A naval officer of high rank, when questioned on the subject, remarked that almost all agreements are suspended by war when they injure the interests of one of the combatants and favor the other. The cable connecting Cnba with Madrid would be a most powerful assistance to the Spanish cause just now and would work equal injury to us, wherefore, said the officer, a prudent naval commander doubtless would cut the cable first aud let the diplomats talk about it afterward. HAMPTON ROADS MINED. Washington, Baltimore, Richmond and Newport New* Protected. On board the Flagship Brooklyn, off Fortress Monroe, April 25.—The entrance to Hampton Roads, the key to Washington, Norfolk, Baltimore, Richmond, Newport News aud many other less important cities has been mined and a state of pacific blockade declared. The harbor is now in control of the United States army and beginning today no vessel will be allowed to enter Hampton Roads between the hours of sunset aud sunrise. A patrol fleet has been organized and all vessels are stopped and detained outside the capes until daybreak. The patrol fleet will act as guides through the miue field. Commodore Schley’s squadrou is ready for orders and can start at an instant’s notice. The hospital ship Solace was attached to the fleet today. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt, Washington, April 26.—1 t has been understood for some time past that Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the navy department would soon retire in order to enter the military service in the Cuban campaign. This story can now be confirmed positively. The president yesterday named Mr. Roosevelt as lieutenant colonel of one of the regiments of mounted riflemen to be raised in the Rocky Mountains. Graduate Today. West Point, April 26.—Superintendent Orwald H. Ernst of the Military academy, who on Saturday last recommended the immediate graduation of the class of ’93, has received orders to graduate the class at the earliest possible moment. The academic board was accordingly assembled and the standing of the class in general merit roll was established. The ceremony will take place at 6 o'clock this evening.
