MANAGER Ab u-tml the newspaper* urn busy strewing ItouquAta into the silent tomb of Daniel L. Lamont.. The flowery epitaphs written of ami about the dead statesman are nothing but the literal truth, to which mankind generally is willing to anhserilie. Ab private secretary Lt President Cleveland during his first term, and n* secretary of war during hie second term, he succeeded admirably and the country grew to know and respect him. His death is regretted We hear a good deal these days about the supposed necessity of raising or lowering of certain duties. and many people, we fear, have the impression that the only way in which duties can be raised is by a change in the law. Yet as a matter of fact, the duties on carpet wools have leen almost doubled within a short time The law provides that the duty shall be four cents a pound on all carpet wools not costing in excess of twelve cents a pound and seven cents a pound on all carpet wools costing mere than twelve cents a pound Up to a comparatively recent date the prevailing foreign price has Bern under twelve cents, so the duty was four cents. But lately the foreign price has been lifted above twelve cents, and so the duty went up with it to seven cents. And it is this latter tax that our oarpet makers are now compelled to pay, or an increase from 33 p?r cent, ad valorem to 58 per cent. And thia without a congressional action—lndinaapolis News, (Rep ) The Democrat is nos desirous of entering into a controversy with Smith, Yager & Falk. However, their statement, “that the news papers of the city were requested to make no mention of the occurrence.”—meaning the burglary of their store —is incorrect. The Democrat was never so requested, and it would not have heeded the request had it been made. Such a statement in itself, is silly. The idea of releasing a story known Monday morning by fifty people and three times that number before the Democrat told the facts In so tar as the story is concerned, it was public property twenty four hours before it first apjieared in print, and not to have noticed it would have been to have nude a faroe of publishing the news. We could sav more, in fact we would like to siv more, but the matter appears to be personal betw»en this business firm anl ourselves, so we'll let 'er go at that. In the meantime you will always find the news in th? Daily Dr Sub scribe now.

THE SECRET OUT.

TRCTIt IS VSSHACKI.ED.

olr i WftFliSj K l ' I7WW.J th m '"WWHEW* To refute the many false and malicious attacks, bogus formula and other untruthful statements published concerning Dr. Pierce's World-famed Family Medicines, the Doctor has decided to publish all the Ingredients entering Into nls "Favorite Prescription” for women and his equally popular tonic alterative known as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Hereafter every bottle of these medicines, leaving the great laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y., will bear upon It a full list of all the ingredients entering Into the compound.

NOW PRESIDENT Paul Morton at the Head > of the Equitable 1 The New Board of Directors Cuts Off Another Pension of Twenty-Five , Thousand Dollars. r i 1 By United Preet Newt Aaaoclatlon. New York. July 27—E B Kurle- ■ chmidt, of New Orleans, and George i f. Victor of New York, were todav ■ i elected directors of in the Equitable • Life Insurance com|>any, at an adjourned meeting. The office of chairman was also aitolished, Paul Morton beecoming president, as predicted would hapjien after yea1 terdav’s meeting. The directors then took up the question of discontinuing certain pensions, including one of twenty-five thousand dollars to the widow of Henry B. Hyde, the founder of the associa- ' tion. James Hazen Hyde was present during one of the sessions, but retired when the discussion concerning pensions was taken up. He remained in the directorate, rumors to the contrary notwith- ' standing. SIXTY-TWO I I ■■■ I The Number of Bennington Deaths Three More Deaths Since Last Report —lnquest Not Yet Held. •y United Press News Association. ' San Diego, Cal., July 27—The list of the Bennington dead now number sixty-two, th ere having been three more deaths, two of them being 8. Tacata. the Japanese ' mess attendant, and H A. Metins the pay clerk Metins was able to walk up town after the accident, where he had his wounds dressed. 1 Afterwards while walking about ' the streets, he collapsed. The Ben- ' nington is now ready to proceed north, but if Admiral Goodrich deaides to hold inquiry here, the trip north will be < elayed. An important point in making public the death of the Japanese at ten dan f, is that recently the government dismissed all Japanese in naval seri vice, on the ground that these servants wore merely training to be- ' come commanders in the Japanese navy. It was thought that the Bennington had complied.

struum. The exact working formula for making these medicines cost Dr. Pierce and his collaborating Chemist and Pharmacist many years of study and experiments. but as perfected they produce almost perfect pharmaceutical compounds, embodying all the active, medicinal principles residing in the ingredients employed, and this, too, In such form and combination as to keep unchanged In any climate. Thus the use of alcohol Is entirely avoided In their manufacture, and instead an agent is employed which possesses valuable medicinal properties, being a demulcent, anti-ferment and nutrient. PBOOF POSITIVE. Without solicitation, Mrs. H. Harrison, of 112 West 2d Street, Sioux City, lowa, wrote us as follows: "I suffered for more than seven rein with a very complicated form of female trouble accompanied with nervous prostration, and after doctoring with six physicians (all bearing excellent reputations), was Informed that unless an operation was performed I would lie an invalid all my life. Hearing of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. K. V, Pierce's remedies, and believing that there must be a cure for almost every aliment, I determined to make one more effort.
