April 27.-One of the last cases argued in the United States Supreme Court before the suspension of the call of the docket yesterday raised the question whether the Constitution of the United Statfs has ever been properly extended to Alaska, and also attacks the criminal code of that Territory which was enacted by Congress In liy. The case is Jhat of A. Yv Corbus against the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Company, and the sections of the law which are attacked are those requiring the payment of nn annual tax on the company's mercantile establishment and the stamps of Its reduction works, the proceeds to be turned into the national treasury. It Is contended that the tax is unconstitutional because it is not uniform, and that this must inevitably be the holding If the Constitution has ever been extended to the Terrtory. This point raises the question of the power of Congress to extend the Constitution to newly acquired territory. AHO IT I MM. VM ANS. Aetlon of the Republican Club 31n jor Stine'n History.

They could walk or work side by side with the men of the family. Thev lived under healthier conditions; there was more simplicity and less strain. To-day it's different. The woman has all the care of the house and the wear of motherhood with duties superadded which were never dreamed of in Grandma's day. As a natural result she's worn out when she ought to be in the full beauty of mature womanhood. Women who would preserve their health anel strength should guard the delicate womanly organs. When these are diseased the whole body suffers loss of strength and beauty. Doctor Tierce's Favorite Prescription cures the disease; that weaken vomen. Inflammation, ulceration and female weakness promptly yield to the power cf this great remedy. "I had been a great sufferer from female weakness for about two years, writes Mrs. F.mmr Richardion, of Goss, Wayne Co., Kv., "Could not do my work part of the time, i tot four littles of Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription and felt as well as I ever did."
