“Mud More Valuable than Gold” Is tbe truthful, startling title of a beautiful souvenir book just received describing the wonderful Magnetic Mineral Mud Baths In Warren County, near Attica, lad. The Indiana Springs Company has spent >150.000 in developing' and beautifying this noted resort, and it is to-day tbe only place in the United States where it Is possible to get a Magnetic Mineral Mud and Lithla Water Bath and drink tbe Purl.an LI th la Water. The Puritan Llthla Water Is undoubtedly the strongest yet discovered. The cure of rheuthatlsm. kidney, skin and stomach troubles is quickly brought about by this combination of Nature's remedies, some of the cures wrought being marvelous. We certainly think It is to the Interest of every sufferer to write and get a copy of this handsomely printed and beautifully Illustrated souvenir, which will be mailed for the asking. Address H. L.

Prof. Hayem, of Paris, has recently shown that there is a marked association between dyspepsia and tuberculosis in a great n mber of cases. The disorder most commonly present is simple gastritis. As the digestive disorder usually occurs first, and paves the way for the pulmonary disease, it is important that disoiders of digestion should receive prompt attention. A New Arrangement. St. Paul Minn., Aug. 30. —The new traffic arrangement between the Great Northern and Oregon Railway and Navigation Co. is one of the most important of the year. It gives the Great Northern the most direct entrance of any road into Portland and to Willamette Valley points It also becomes the short line into the Palouse and Walla Walla districts of Washington, the Coeur d’Alene. Moscow, •nd Snake River districts of Idaha An Ingenious Bridge. A novel and ingenious use that wa; Hade some time ago of a i apid river current in India aptly illustrates the fertility of resource of the average engineering’ contractor. At a certain point along the river a temporary bridge was urgently nece sary for the transport of materials to be used in the building of an important neighboring structure, but the only available material was a quantity of three-inch planking, about ten feet long and a little over three feet wide, and tome ordinary round timber cut from a neighboring forest. Pontoons were made pf two single planks, placed about fifteen feet apart, each plank beirg held on edge at an angle of about fifty -degrees from the vertical, both inclining up stream, and kept at their proper distance by framing made from the round timber already mentioned. Both pontoons were moored to a chain. The peculiarity of the bridge, of course, was that the water pressure upon the inclined surfaces of the planks, due to a swift current, permitted them to carry a considerable load, and the •structure served its purpose admirably, accommodating a pretty lively traffic fcr an unexpectedly long period.

REFUSED TO SIGN IT.

PRESIDENT ALLOWS TARIFF BILL TO BECOME LAW. Though He Could Not Conslgtantly Indorse It, He Believes It Improves Existing Conditions—Doest Not Go Ear Enough —HU Letter. New Tariff in Foree. At 12 o’clock Mondav night the McKinley tariff Jaw, whioh had been in operation since Oct. 30, 1890, practically four years, died on the statue books and the new Democratic tariff bill passed by the LHId Congress . ecame a law without the signature of President Cleveland. The constitutional period of ten days allowed the President to consider the bill expired with the midnight hour and, according to the terms of the constitution, the President having failed to return the bill to Congress with or without his approval, it became a law. The placing of the bill upon the statute booKs ended one o' the longest and most remarka tie struggles in the parliamentary history of the Government. It was practically a year ago that the compilation of the new tariff was commenced. The extraordinary session of Congress was called Aug. 7, 1893, for the purpose if iepealing the Sherman silver-purchasing law. Two weeks later the Ways and Means Committee of the House, with Mr. Wilson,

[?] [?]

of West Virginia, as chairman, was appointed, and almost immediately the work of framing the Democratic tariff-reform measure began. Months were spent in its preparation, and it was not reported until after the holidays during the regular session beginning in December. For three weeks it wts debated in the House, pas.-ihg that body January 29. Seventeen House Democra s voted against it. ' The bill went to the Senate, and, after being considered until March 20, was reported, greatly changed from the House bill. The debate which began in the Senate Aptil 2 lasted until July 3, when the bill rassed by a vote of 39 to 34. The crisis dccui red when the bill reached conference. On Aug. 13 the House yielded, and accepted the Senate bill in toto. Two days afterward, Wednesday, Aug. 15, it went t > the President, and Monday night, at the expiration of the constitutional ten days (Sundays not counted), it became a law without Mr. Cleveland s approval. The Secretary instructed customs collectors that goods placed in bonded warehouses under the McKinley law and made frea of duty under the naw tariff act are entitled to free entry, and need not be exported and reimported in order to get the benefits of the new act. This is of espo ial interest to the wool trade, a large amount of wool being stored now in bonded warehouses. In this, as in all other mooted questions, the Secretary will follow the intent of Congress and let aggrieved parties appeal to the courts if they care to contest on technical grounds. In accoidance with this determination he undoubtedly will hold that diamonds are dutiable, notwithstanding the erroneous punctuation of the free list. Whv He Didn’t Sign.

While President Cleveland did not sign the new tariff law he was prevailed on by party chieftains to Write a letter which is to voice hit feelings. The letter, which was addressed to Gen. Catchings of the Rules Committee of the House, was of course meant for publication. To address it to Gen. Catchings was a mere convenience and a copy went I<y the press association by the same hand which bore the original missive to patchings. The President objects to the bill for the reason that he regards it as not being in line with honest tariff reform, and because it contains inconsistencies that should not be found in any tariff lav.. He speaks of the vicissitudes of the bill during its progress through the two houses, and to t'n»> tad treatment it received from pi etended friends, and expresses the opinion that notwithstanding these it ,e avast improvement on exi-t ug condit ons. “It is not only a barrier,” says the President, “against a return to mail protection, but furnishes vantage ground from which must be waged aggressive operations against protected mon poly and government favoritism.” hollowing is the missive:

, Executive Mansion, i Washington, D. C. i The Hou. T. C. Catchings: My Deab Sib—Since the conversation I had with you and Mr. Clark, of Alabama, a few days ago in regard to my action upon the tariff bill now before me. I have given the subket further and most serious consideration. The result Is I am more settled than ever in the determination to allow the bill to become a law without my signature. When-the formulation of legislation which I it was hoped would embody Democratic ideas : of tariff reform was lately entered upon by i the Congress nothing was further from my anticipation than a result which I could not promptly and enthusiastically indorse. It Is therefore with a feeling of the utmost disappointment that I submit to a denial of this privilege. Ido not claim to be better than the masses of my party nor do I wish to avoid any responsibility which on account of t>he passage of this law I ought to bear as a member of the Democratic organization, neither will I per- I mit myself to be separated from my party td ; snch an extent as might be implied by my veto of tariff legislation which, though disap- ■ pointing, is still chargeable to Demo- ! cratic effort. But there are provisions in this bill which are not in line with honest : tariff reform, and it contains inconsistencies and crudities which ought nut to appear in tariff laws or laws of any kind. Besides there were, as yon and 1 well know, incidenls accompanying the passage of the bill through Congress wnich made every sincere reformer unhappy, while infli fences surrounded it in its latter stages and interfered with its flnal construction which ought not to be recognized or ■ tolerated in Democratic tariff reform councils, j And yet, notwithstanding all its vicissitudes and all the bad treatment it received at the hands of pretended friends, it presents a vast improvement to existing conditions. It will certainly lighten many tariff burdens that now ; rest heavily upon the people. It is not only a barrier against the return of mad protection, but it furnishes a vantage ground from which must be waged further aggressive operations ' against protected monopoly and governmental favoritism. , I take my place with the rank and file of the Democratic-party who believe in tariff reform and who know what it is; who refuse tc| accept the results embodied in thia bill as the dose of the war; who are not blinded to the fact that the livery of Democratic tariff reform has been stolen end worn in the service *i Republican protection, and who have

marked (lauea where th< dead!” blight ot treason haa blasted the councils of the brave in their hour of might. The trusts and combinations-the communism ot pelf-whose machinations have prevented U 8 from reaching the success we deserve, should not be forgotten or forgiven. Ws shall recover from onr astonishment at their exhibition of power, and it then the question is torced upon us whether they shall submit to the tree legislative will ot the people’s representatives or shall dictste the laws which the people must obey, we will acceit and settle that isaue as one involving the integrity and safety of American institutions. I love the principles of true Democracy because they are founded in patriotism and upon justice and fairness to* ard all interests. I am proud of my patty organization because it la conservatively sturdy and persistent in the enforcement of its principles. Therefore 1 do not despair ot ths efforts made by the Houae of Representatives to supplement the bill already passed by further legislation and to have engrafted upon it such modifications as will more nearly meet Democratic hopes and aspirations. 1 can’t be mistaken as to the necessity of free raw materials as the foundation ot logical and sensible tariff reform. The extent to which this is recognized in the legislation already secured is one ot its encouraging and redeeming features, but it is vexations to recall that while free coal and iron ore have been denied, a letter of the Secretary of the Treasury discloses the fact that both might have been made flee by the annual surrender of only about tmo.ooo of unnecessary revenue. I am sure that there is a common habit of 'underestimating the importance of free raw materials in tariff legislation, and of regarding them as only related to concessions to be made to our manufacturers. Tbe truth is, their influence-la so far-reaching that, it disregarded. a complete and beneficent scheme of tariff reform cannot be suoces-faUv Inaugurated. When we give to onr manufacturers free taw materials we unshackle American enterprise and ingenuity, and these will open the doors of foreign markets to the reception ot onr wares and give opportunity for the continuous and remunerative employment of American labor. With materials cheapened by their freedom from tariff charges the cost of their product must be < orrespondlugly cheapened. Thereupon justice and fairness to the consumer would demand that the manufacturers be obliged to submit to such a readjustment and modification of the tariff npon their finished goods as would secure to the people the benefit of the reduced cost of their manufacture and shield the consumer against the exactions of inordinate profits. It will thus be seen that free raw materials and a just and fearless regulation and reduction of tne tariff to meet tbe changed conditions would carry to every humble home in the land the blessings of increased comfort and cheaper living. The millions of our countrymen who have fought bravely and well for” tariff reform should be exhorted to continue the struggle, boldly challenging to open warfare and constantly guarding against treachery and halfheartedness in their oainp. Tariff reform will not> be settled until It is honestly and fairly settled in the Interest and to the benefit of a patient and long-suffering people. Yours very truly, Gboveb Cleveland.

ST. ANNES SHRINE.

SOME MIRACULOUS CURES EFFECTED RECENTLY. '■nd Are the Sight- Occasionally Witnessed •nd Many Disappointed Ones Are Enconntered—The Bones of the Good Sain* —History of the Belies, Crntehes Thrown Aw -v. The pilgrimages to tbe shrine of St. Anne, twenty-two miles below Quebec, are in full blast and thousands are to be found there every day. A few days ago a large delegation from Morrisburg, Ont., visited the place. Among those were Kate Sweeney, who is 22 years old, and who for a long time has suffered severely from spinal disease and paralysis of the legs. She waa carried from the train into the church, and no sooner had she communicated and venerated the relic of St Anne than she felt her natural strength return to her, and she rose and left the church without assistance. Last week Mrs. Diogene Guirmont. of Cap St Igaace, who had been bedridden since February and incapable of walking, was assisted to the 'oot of the statue of St Anne. There she remained for a time praying and weeping,after which, raising herself painfully upon her crutches, she approached the altar railing and reverently kissed the lelio which the priest presented to her< As she did 'so she felt the crutches slipping away frcm her, and, making no effort to retain them, she stood erect for a moment. Then, with her husband and a friend at her s de, the walked firmly to the foot of the statue and there kneeling returned thanks with happy t. ars. This done she

walked to the boat. She is now said to be thoroughly cured and able to attend to her household affairs. This miracle is vouched for by the priest of Cap St Ignace, who accompanied the pilgrims. The woman’s crutches, left behind, have gone to swell the large collection of discarded canes, crutches and other aids which form two large pyramids, twenty feet in height, just within the entrance to the church. Mrs. Joseph Paquette, of Indian Lorette, recently had a smothering sensation in the region of her heart, which physicians could not cure. She declared that she had made a vow to St. Anne to tho effect that if relief were given to her she would publish the fact to the greater glory of the saint. She said she had obtained the longed-for cure in the sanctuary of the saint, and would proclaim it to the world. An 11-year-old girl from Coatieooke had been dumb for eight years, when, after invoking the aid of St. Anne and communicating, the string of her tongue was loosed, and she cried out, “Good St. Anne, I thank you." Some Pltifnl Scenes. Nine-tenths of those who pray for relief fail t.» tecure it. This is the most distressing feature at St. Anne. Very pitiful, indeed, are some of the scones thus witnessed. Sickly children, whose cries fill the air, are seen on every side. Consumptives in the la->t stages of the di ase stagger or are led by friends to the altar railing. Frequently, at the foot of St. Anne’s statue, are seen supplicating sufferers who, unsatisfied with their own oral petitions ami unable to remain at the altar until their prayers have besn favorab'y answered, supplement them with written pleas inclosed in healed envelopes and bearing the simple address, “A la bonne St. Anne.” Numbers of these letters are always t > be seen upon the pedes'al of the statue. Tne church contains two or three relics of St. Anne's bodv, the largest being a portion of the west bone three inches in length. Another is a portiou of a lower thumb joint. Thousands of peo r le Venerate these relics, after confessing, communicating and hearing tho reading of the gospel of St. Anne. The main potion of the bones of the saint are claimed by the cathedral at Apt, France, where the e reli s were obtained. The body is said to have been taken from Jerusalem by St. James and others to Marseilles, the ship containing them being miraculously preserved from wreck. Fr m Marseilles the body was taken to Apt, where for centuries its location was unknown, until its remarkable rediscovery.

DEBS ON THE STAND.

Th* A. B. V. Chief Tell* of th* Pnllma. Strike and What Led to It. President Debs, of the American Railway Union, in his testimony before the strike commission, now in session in Chicago, told cf having received word that a strike in Pullman was imminent and of his coming to Chicago to investigate. “1 found," he said, “that the men were working for the Pullman Company at wagas upon which they could not live. I found that salaries had been cut time and again, until the skil ed mechanics were working their livex away for wages not sufficient for a common laborer; that the town of Pullman with its stops, its houses and its stores, was so schemed that every penny the workingmen made found its way back into the company’s coffers. In fast I found the workingmen of Pullman in a pitiable condition. The strike followed, ordered by the men themselves. Then came the boycott, ordered by duly elected delegates to our convention, and then followed the railroad strikes, ordered bv the various local unions, each of which had g.ievanoes of its own.”

"Would the railroad strike have occurred .had there been no Pullman trouble?” asked Commissioner Wright. “No; the Pullman strike was the prime cause. We desired to stop Pullman’s cars and shut off his income, thus forcing him to arbitrate. But the railroad men had grievances of their own. The Managers’ Association had been organized with the avowed intention of giving assistance to railroads in labor troubles. The evident aim was to drive organ!, ed labor from existence. No sooner had this a-sociation been formed than a systematic reduction of rai road wages all over the co ntry began. The cuts were made on one road at a time and in one department at a time, but the systematic regu arity with which they appeared wat sufficiently significant The men were ready to strike and felt they had cause. But the troub'e would not have come when It did had it not been for the Pu Iman matter." Mr. Debs then said that within five days after the strike was declared the union had the railroads beaten. “They were paralyzed, ” he said, “but just at that time injunctions were sown broadcast and shortly afterward the officials of the American Railway Union were arrested lor contempt of c urt. That beat us. It wasn t the railroads or the army, but the power of the United States courts that boat us." In reply to a question Mr. Debs said that the union had taken every possible means to prevent rioting and disorder. “We objected to the presence of the Federal troops, but not to the State troops and police.

Solving a Difficulty.

A Long Island farmer has been greatly annoyed by tramps, who were apparently fearless of dogs or firearms. So he devised another plan to get rid of these pests. He got a pot o. b.ack paint and a beard, on which he painted, in large letters, “Two Thousand Tramps Wanted.” He nailed this sign between two trees that stand at the entrance to his place, and that very day four tattered wanderers came along. The sign caught their attention, and they gave every evidence of pleasure. Than they to consult, and after some time the mo it stalwart of the party started for the house. He advanced very cautiously, suplciously scanning every inch of the ground and the building ahead. As he neared the house the farmer camo out and greeted him with great cordiality, and before he could say a word marched him to tho rear of tho house and snowed him an enormous woodpile. The fellow was so overcome with astonishment that he took the saw and started in. For an hour ho kept at it; then the farmer called the man In and gave him his dinner, but would permit him to carry nothing away. The tramp departed in the most sullen manner imaginable, and he and his companions held another council of war. Thon each of tho four men set to work inscribing cabalistic signs on the turrounding fences and trees, and that was the last tramp entertained by that farmer.

Avoiding Pain and Perll.

Defensive measures against the foe are ever adopted by a wise commander. You can be commander of the situation and strike a de■eislve blow at the start at that dangerous and relentless ensmy, rheumatism, If attacked by it, by resorting in time to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which checks permanently the progress of a malady, among the most obstinate, painful and possibly dangerous, against which medical skill and tho resources of materia medioa are arrayed. No evidence Is more conoiirrent and convincing than that which proves that the Bitters neutralizes the rheumatic poison and checks its farther development in tho system. For malarial and kidney trouble, dyspepsia, want of vitality, nervousness, liver complaint and constipation, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the leading remedy.

Burglars in the Sewers.

There is a band of thieves in Naples which frequent the underground sowers, and bore their way into shops for the purpose of robbery. One morning recently a leather dealer, on unlocking his warehouse, found a largo holo in tho floor and skins and money gone to tho value of 3,00(1 francs. He called the police, and several of thorn, together with some towermon, penetrated into the dark vault, with a lantern. They had not gone far when they discovered a man, and called to him to stop.
