nation of any political party, however much we love democracy. If it lays it3 acriflclai hand upon silver and wounds It In this country. For myself, I will not support such a party her or elsewhere, but will denounce it aa undemocratic and unamerlcan. And the democrats engaged In It I will ask the people of the country to condemn as the a sent and tools no I will withdraw that epithet as the representatives of the moneyed power and the moneyed interests instead of being representatives of the masses of the American people. You cannot hold the democratic party together on that line." (Ap- . plause.) In closing his argument, which, he said, was entirely without preparation, Mr. Bland declared that the time had come to decide whether or not the country was to go to bimetallism. He thought It the duty of the house, especially of his democratic associates, to settle the money question and to seltle it on correct lines. It would not do to demonetize silver and then to tinder-take to restore It afterwards. There was time enough now to arrange It according1 to the principles of bimetallism and in a manner conformably to the promises of the democratic party. "If," he said in conclusion, addressing his words particularly to eastern democrats, "you do not do It, yours is the responsibility, not ours." A Populist View. Mr. Pence, a populist of Colorado, was the next speaker and with his opening sentences he attracted the close attention of the house and retained It to the end. No other man has succeeded in so impressing himself upon the favorable consideration of his associates on the floor at such an early period of his membership. He was sorry, he said, to note by the tone and words of the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Raynor), who opened the discussion, that he was influenced by the columns of the metropolitan press and was disposed to treat representatives of western districts, and particularly of those states where silver i3 mined, as foreigners and aliens. He did not exactly comprehend the reason why that gentleman should speak of the treasury department as acting the part of a pawnbroker for the silver miners of Colorado and Nevada. It might be that the gentleman knew more of the lawnbroking business than he (Mr. .Pence) did; or. it might be on accoount of the practice of the treasury department to Jew down the men who brought silver there to sell, because it was now beyond question that such was the policy of the department. It was because the people of Colorado had come to understand that the platforms of the two great political parties were but glittering catch-words that they had within the last twelve months asserted their political independence. It was not, as the New York Sun said, because Mr. Reed of Maine was a czar that the democratic party had come Into power. It was because it had declared unequivocally for the remonetization of silver. The scene in the house today was enougl to attract the attention of any thoughtful observer. Was It possible that the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Raynor), uttering: the sentiments he did, and the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Bland), uttering the sentiments he did, were elected last fall on the same identical platform? (laughter on all sides.) "When the democratic party met in convention in 1SSI. Mr. Pence continued, it declared its belief In honest monpy, that gold and silver is the ccinajre of the constitution and is a circulating medium, convertible into such money without loss. That means, he said, the remonetization of silver at its ild ratio; and it was so accepted by the silver producers. But even before Mr. Cleveland's first Inauguration that platform had been deliberately siappea in the face and spat upon. (Applause.) For four years of the .Cleveland administration there had not been, so far as the administration was concerned, one sincere effort to remonetize silver. The republican administration which followed was no better in that respect. Still, it was not his purpose to follow up the evolutions of political parties, or to take part in a partisan discussion. Elected last fall by a people brave, buoyant and hopeful, he knew that their industries had been prostrated by the course of the past two administrations by the base surrender of those who had been elected on a silver platform and on silver pledges. In this connection he quoted from a speech made by Mr. Carlisle in the house In 18T8, to tn effect that the striking1 down of from three-sevenths to one-half of the mete llic money of the country was the most gigantic crime of this or any other generation; and he contrasted that declaration with the present position of the secretary of the treasury on the silver question. The speech was made, he said, when that gentleman was a leader, not a follower, when he was a sender of messages, not a bearer of them. (Laughter.) Mr. Wheeler of Alabama closed the discussion for the day with a plea for a larger volume of currency, and the house adjourned. THE SENATE'S FLAX.

Mr. Gorman Apparently Holds the Key to the Situation. The brief proceedings in the senate yesterday, coming after the action of the day before, indicate that the parties in the senate are beginning to line up. There is a slight disaffection on the republican side on the part of a few silver men, but generally they have adopted the policy of annoying their opponents In the majority by insisting upon an immediate disposition of the Bilver question and therefore resisting every motion to adjourn and calling for the yeas and nays to put the senators on record. One of the republican leaders In financial matters said that they would adopt this line of action until the majority was obliged to proceed to burlness. He insisted that the democrats could not charge the republfcans with partisan action, inasmuch as they were simply trying to give immediate, effect to the president's suggestions as contained in his message. On the other hand, the democratic senators resent the attempt of the republicans to control the business of the senate and dictate the character of legislation that shall be attempted. They have resolved that they will not permit action until they have themselves agreed upon a line of policy, and the conduct of the republicans has had the effect to consolidate all of the elements of the demc cratic side upon this resolution. Meanwhile the democratic caucus committee Is In almost constant session, trying to arrange a plan of action, and the keenest parliamentarians on the republican side are quietly conferring among themselves to devise means to carry out their Ideas, so that the session In the senate promises to be Interesting. Between now and Monday next It is hoped by the friends of the administration In the senate that some possible plan of action may be agreed upon on the silver question, but there are slender grounds for confidence on the developments that have cropped out thus far. Senator Gorman appears to hold the key to the situation. Not only is he the chairman of the democratic caucus, but he Is also chairman of the "steering committee," the committee which he himself appointed under the authority of the caucus. The committee is composed of Senators Gorman, chairman; Blackburn of Kentucky, Cockrell of Missouri. Walthall of Mississippi, Ransom of North Carolina, Vilas of Wisconsin, Gray of Delaware and White of Louisiana. Messrs. Blackburn, Cockrell, Walthall and Ransom are avowed silver men; Messrs. Vilas, Gray and White are avowedly opposed to free coinage of silver and stand squarely upon the president's platform of unconditional repeal. But where Senator Gorman stands no one but himself can tell, for he has taken no one Into his confidence. Senator Jones Talks. Speaking of the change In the Sherman bill from Its original provision requiring the purchase of four and a half million röx fii Klivar la LKAJiM ouaies.

Senator Jones of Nevada is quoted as saying: "When the bill was before the senate committee on finance I favored the purchase of a definite quantity measured by weight to avoid any chicanery over a dollar's worth. The bill came over from the house In the other form and I was one of several la the committee to suggest the change." "But It seems that this change did not accomplish the desired result," was suggested. "That Is true." replied the senator. "Little Preston sits up there and nullifies the law. Why should, we be called here to repeal It when he is allowed that power? I had always supposed that the market price of . a product was what It could be bought for. Yet he takes the London quotations with some other factors and declares that such a rate shall be our market. I wonder that the people- submit to lt. I would Impeach him. - - "But we will not be- beaten in this fight," he continued. "You will see that." Acting-Director Preston Is only an employe of the treasury department and not an officer appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. Therefore the senator's remedy of Impeachment is not applicable to his case. REPEAL WILL COME

Though the Senate May Delay it Considerably. WASHINGTON. D. C Aug. 12. The Star this evening1 sums up the silver situation as follows: "There are three factions In the house on the silver question and consequently three elements to be taken Into consideration. While the radical anti-silver men are demanding the repeal of the Sherman law and nothing else and the radical silver men are declaring that legislation favorable must go with the repeal, much the stronger element In the house appears to be that composed of men who want favorable silver legislation added to the repeal, act, but if they fall to secure amendments favorable to silver will still vote for the repeal. In other words. If the naked proposition to repeal the Sherman law is presented to them, all silver amendments having been voted down, they will vote for the unconditional repeal. "In this situation the only danger which the repeal advocates seem to be confronted with is the possibility that some amendment for the free coinage of silver at an increased ratio may be added to the bill before the final vote comes. If they can so divide the silver men on the amendments for the various ratios as to defeat all the amendments or to adopt a ratio which will not be popular, they will have no trouble in accomplishing just what the administration wants. "It Is believed that, sUould a ratio of 16 or 17 to 1 be adopted so as to prevent a vote on an amendment for a higher ratio, when It came to a test the house would vote to substitute an unconditional repeal of the amended bill. On a vote for a naked repeal with all other propositions out of the way, there Is little doubt that he repeal bill would pass the house by a large majority. "In the senate this element enters somewhat into the situation. A large number of senators will vote for some legislation in connection with repeal which will be favorable to silver, but will not refuse to vote for unconditional repeal If they fall to get what they want. Some of the senators who will do whatever they can to get added to the repeal measure a provision for the coinage of silver at an increased ratio are counted on by the repeal men to use all their influence to prevent any filibustering or obstruction to the passage of the repeal bill if amendments fail. Their position is this: That they are in favor of repealing the Sherman law conditionally, but they are in favor of the repeal anyhow, even if they can get no conditions." TIIE Gil EAT DE HATE. KIrry Addresses Made to EmptyBenches. WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. The silver debate in the house today did not attract much public Interest. The knowledge that no vote can possibly be reached under the resolution of procedure until Aug. 28 causes members to take little interest In the proceedings, and it is doubtful whether there was a quorum present in the house at any time today. Many members left for the seaside last night, resolved to remain until it should be time for them to return to deliver the speech which nearly every man Is preparing on the financial situation. It seems likely that the daily spectacle in the house for the next two weeks will be that of an impassioned Individual delivering a fiery speech to a score or two of his personal friends and an array of two or three hundred empty benches. "When the house adjourned today there were not more than fifty representatives in the hall. The first speaker was Mr. "Wheeler, a democrat of Alabama, who continued his speech of yesterday against repeal. The moment the Sherman act was repealed, he said, that moment there would not be a line or a word In -the laws of our country recognizing the coinage of silver, and there never would be during our lives or the lives of our children. Mr. Wheeler was followed by Mr. Morse, a republican of Massachusetts. Mr. Morse said that the country had come to two roads. Sound finance beckoned it on to national Integrity and honor; free silver beckoned it on to financial ruin and distress. He was heartily In favor of repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, but the remainder of that act. declaring a parity between the two metals, was line statesmanship and should stand. So much of the president's message as related to the currency met with his most unqualified approval. So much of the message was good republican doctrine. But while he agreed with the president on this proposition, he could not believe with the chief magistrate that the present appalling business situation was due entirely to the purchasing clause of the silver act. It was more largely and principally due to the threatened tariff legislation which had unsettled values and fiaralyzed business, and there could be no relief until the democratic policy In regard to the tariff was defined. Mr. Harter' Vleivs. Mr. Harter, a democrat of Ohio, who was one of the leading antl-sllver men i In the Fifty-second congress, took the floor In advocacy of the "Wilson bill.

mmm KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live better than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the ta3te, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect laxative; effectually cleansing. the system, dispelling colds, headaches and feyera ana permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction tc millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for eaie by all druggists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if oüered. situation, he was willing that the republican party might have it all. He desired only to lift the country out of the pit into which it had fallen. He was able to say who was responsible for the present situation, but he did not think that in a time like this It was the part of a patriot to call up such a question. Let congress give the country an honest currency and he (Mr. Harter) was willing to shake the dust of Washington from his feet and never enter the house of representatives again. (Arplause.) Mr. Boatner, a democrat of Louisiana, inquired whether the gentleman knew anything about the silver question that he did not know ton months ago. (Laughter.) Mr. Harter replied that he was that kind of a man who knew a little more on the silver question than he did ten months ago, than he knew ten weeks ago, than he knew ten c.r.ys ago. And he expected to know a little - more on every question the longer he lived. Continuing, and in reply to a question, Mr. Harter said that the condition of the workingmen in England was as much superior to the cond'tion of the workingmen in Ohio, principally on account of the silver legislation, as a berth in heaven was superior to a cot in purgatory. (Laughter.) In response to a question by Mr. Henderson, a republican from Iowa, Mr. Harter said that the Sherman act had been passed by a republican house and a republican senate and had been approed by a republican president. (Democratic applause.) Mr. Henderson asked the gentleman to state to the house the attitude of the democratic party at the time of the passage of the silver law. Mr. Harter said that he trusted to the good temper of the house to keep this question out of politics. Reviewing the history of the Sherman law Mr. Harter said that while that law was not a good law, under the circumstances, Senator Sherman, Instead of being abused ought to have the grateful thanks of the whole people, because he got the best there was to be obtained for the country out of a bad situation, which had been brought on by the republican platform and the election of a republican president. With Mr. Cleveland In the presidential chair a free coinage of silver measure could no more control his signature than could the death warrant of the speaker of this house. Mr. Henderson persisted In his question as to the attitude of the democratic party at the time of the passage of the Sherman law. "Free coinage," shouted several members on the democratic side. Mr. Henderson "There is an honest answer from the democratic side. Will the gentlemen be equally honest?" Mr. Harter replied that he would answer as a matter of courtesy, although It broke the thread of his argument. The national platform of the democratic party had not been favorable to the free coinage of silver; nor had It charged the republicans with belns favorable to t e demonetization of Bilver. The democrats nominated a man radically opposed to circulating as a dollar any coin worth less than 100 cents. Republicans knew what kind of a man they nominated. He did not wish to proceed further in political discussion. He then proceeded to mark out his plan of procedure. He would have the congress in Its extraordinary session repeal the purchasing clause of the present law, authorize national banks to issue circulation to the full extent of their bonds and direct the secretary of the treasury to provide for the issue of gold bonds. A Voice from Xw York. On the conclusion of Mr. Harter's speech, Mr. Hendricks, a democrat of New York, was recognized. He said that he had been denominated here as a banker. He had been called a gold bug, but he assured his friends that the only piece of gold that he possessed was a $5 coin and that the only money he had was In his left-hand trousers pocket, and that he had obtained from the sergeant-at-arms a few days ago. He had been born In Missouri. He had grown up with the people of the West and he knew them and loved them. But he came to this congress by way of the East and he represented an eastern constituency and he wished to say to this body of gentlemen that the opportunity for this congress to benefit the country had never before been equalled in the history of the land. Let congress repeal the Sherman silver law, adjourn and go home and let the people do the rest. (Applause.) It was not to the gold bugs of Wall-st. that he asked the members to listen; nor to the men, women and children who had their savings locked up In savings banks; he asked them to listen to the workingmen thrown out of employment; he asked them to listen to the voice of fear that our country was entering on a period black with sorrow and black with woe. In this hour of dire distress, when good men were throwing up their hands in despair and going down under the wave of disaster; when the most solid banks, that had stood up against the winter storms and summer heats of finance, had gone down and their presidents and stock-holders had. in extreme mortification, taken their own lives; when humiliation had come on honorable business men; when all the whole United States was on Its knees praying to congress, "for God's sake, repeal the Sherman silver law and let us alone," the silver men came here and asked for the free coinage of sliver at ratios varying from IS. to 20. What mockery! What Idiocy In finance! What a shame on a free country! Let members here, as representatives close to the people, do their duty, and do their duty faithfully, and If there was at the other end of the capitol any vested Interest represented that would stand In the pathway of progress and of the relief of the people let the pitiless pelting of public opinion rain there and not hare.

tives discharge their duty and go home feeling that they had done what the country expected of them. (Applause.) For Free Coinage. Mr. Bowers, a republican of California, spoke for the free coinage of silver, and, in doing so, cast a slur upon political platforms, declaring that no party platform amounted to anything, nor was It Intended to mean anything. He referred to the scarcity of small currency and raised a laugh by stating that he went into a drug store this morning to get something which cost : 15 centra he did not exactly remember what it was (laughter), and couldn't get any change. The free coinage of silver would tend to relieve the present depression. Many of the ba-iks of the United States, which were today with their doors closed, would be glad to receive the dollar of our daddies. This nation could make Its own money for its own people, and if England wanted to put up the bars, all right. Which could stand It longest? This great country, which could produce every necessity and every luxury, must not surrender to the little Island which must depend upon what it could obtain from other nations. This question was not a partisan one; It was a business one, and as such it should be considered. Delegate Rawlins, a democrat of Utah, lent his voice in favor of free coinage.The declaration made- by the anti-silver men that the government was Issuing a dollar which was worth but 60 cents was absurd. By the constitution of the United States express power was given to congress to coin money and regulate Its value. Under that power the government had declared that the silver dollar was equal In value to the gold dollar. If this congress adjourned without action there would be a depreciation in the valuation of silver that would be frightful to contemplate and would bring on a monetary panic at once. At the conclusion of Mr. Rawlins's remarks tb.e house adjourned till Monday. A Significant Incident. It Is reported that there was a very significant occurrence In the senate finance committee on Thursday. A motion was made authorizing the chairman to Introduce a bill to so amend the law governing the Issue of national bank notes as to permit the issue of notes to the par value of the bonds deposited as security therefor. This was agreed to, after discussion, by a majority of ons. Then it was proposed to authorize the chairman to report a bill to. repeal the silver purchase clause of the Sherman law. whereupon Mr. Vest Is said to hava made a speech denouncing the proposi-

j tion and notifying Its friends that no um weich ignored saver couia pass me senate as now constituted. Under the influence of the remarks of Mr. Vest the committee unanimously reconsidered Its action on the currency question and adjourned. The Senate's Coarse. The senate democratic caucus adjourned over until Monday, when they will meet again and attempt to come together on some common ground. Owing to the agreement that has been reached in the house the committee feel3 relieved and sees no reason for pressing action on its part. . The fact that the house will devote two weeks to the discussion of the silver question removes the necessity that existed to formulate a plan immediately and the probability is that the caucus of democratic senators will not act finally upon the policy to be outlined by its committee until toward the close of the debate in the house. For this same reason. It is said, the finance committee may take more time in the deliberation on the various measures referred to it and not make a report as early as has been anticipated. AX APPEAL Issued by the Executive Committee of the Silver League. The executive committee appointed at the Chicago silver convention met today in this city and tonight issued "an appeal to the people," signed by A. J. Warner, chairman, and George F. Washburn, secretary. The. text of the appeal is as follows: "Congress hns been convened in extra session and the unconditional repeal of the present silver law Is urged upon It. The repeal of this law will at once stop all Increase in the currency, place the country on the single gold standard and at one stroke change all debts to gold debts with the certainty that gold will thereafter continue to increase In value at an accelerated rate. The conspiracy to force this condition upon the people of the country is supported by powerful interests at home and abroad, with unlimited means to carry out their purpose, which they are determined to do regardless of consequences to others. "The country is now in the throes of a disastrous panic caused by a 'currency famine and the destruction of credit which has been needlessly brought about to -force the, repeal of the silver law. The situation is altogether the most perilous in the history of the country. Can anyone believe this condition can be improved by shutting off the money supply and still further restricting the volume of currency? It is a time when more money and not less Is needed. "It Is futile to suppose that credit already overexpanded can be nuide to take the place of money. The crops are to be moved and there Is no money to move them. Prices of all products are unprecedently low and must go lower with the single gold standard. Industries are everywhere breaking down. Hundreds of thousands of willing hands are forced Into Idleness. There is work but no money to pay for it. Is this condition to be made to last until the gold conspirators accomplish their unholy purpose? It will unless the people come to the rescue. This is the people's cause and if they would keep their own and remain free men, they must arouse and protect their rights and their homes from the grasping hands of the gold conspirators, who would produce European conditions In this country If they could. "The committee appointed at the Chicago convention to resist the mad purpose to destroy silver as money and establish the single gold standard calls upon the people everywhere to lay aside, for the time, party differences and to assemble at their accustomed places of meeting, as our fathers did of Old.' and pass resolutions calling upon their representatives and senators in congress to resist . the repeal of the present silver law, unless coupled with a provision restoring the free coinage of both gold and silver, as it existed under the law prior to the passage of the fraudulent' act of 1873. . "We recommend also that at all assemblages the resolutions and address adopted at the Chicago silver convention Aug. 2 be read and that voters be urged to send petitions and write letters or postal cards to their representatives and senators and In this manner to earnestly enter their protest against the overthrow of the money of the, constitution and the enforcement upon them of the single gold standard. "It is as Important now that we free ourselves from the financial domination of Europe as It was for our fathers to free themselves from the political domination of a foreign power. Let this movement be the spontaneous action of a free people, conscious that government Is yet In their, hands and conscious, too, of their rights and with the will to maintain them. "A. J. WARNER. Chairman." "GEORGE F. WASHBURN, Sec." FOR KEItVOCS KXHAISTIO.V Use Horiford'i Arid Phophatf, Dr. J. S.

A NEW JERSEY MIRACLE.

Helpless for Years vrlth Locomotor Ataxia and Rheumatism Ills Case Pronounced Hopeless by th Leading Physicians ttf Sussex Count jr. (By Special Correspondence to the N. T. Press.) The busy little village of Branchville, N. J.,- has been the scene of a modern miracle.' -' Chas. F. Struble. a well-known and prosperous farmer, living on Homestead farm, in Frankford township, a few miles from Branchville, is just now the chief subject of discussion throughout Sussex county. The Press Is always up to date In Its news, both political or medical, and has procured the following; from Mr. Struble's own lips: "I have been troubled with rheumatism off and on for twenty years, I have tried all kinds of medicines and treatments. I have taken sulphur baths at Hamburg, N. J., Newton. N. J., and in New York city with a doctor who charged me J2.50 a bath each day. An English doctor treated me With a galvanic battery at Rockaway, Morris county. N. Y. I have tried many doctors. None of them did me any permanent good. I used all kinds of liniments I could hear of, but without avail. "About two years ago I was taken much worse and my doctor sali I had locomotor ataxia of the spine, and that the chances were against me. After treating for a time he finally gave me up and said he had done all he could for me. "The cords of my limbs were drawn tight as the cords of a kettle drum, and I had such cramps in my limbs that I suffered terrible pain. My feet were cold all the time. I had to use a hot water bag and heated bricks to my feet, but even then I could not get any relief. "Finally I heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Fale People, and I commenced taking them on Feb. 5th, 1893. I found in three days time that the cords in my legs began to 'let up,' my feet began to get warm, I began to eat and Bleep well, and in one month I had gained six pounds. The numbness in my limbs besan to leave me, too, and today I feel like a new man, and can not say too much in praise of Dr. Williams' Fink Pills. I am able to walk and do some work, and all this is after using only nine boxes of Pink Pills. I feel so grateful for my recovery that I am glad to let the public know what these pills have done for me." In order to emphasize his story, Mr. Struble made the following affidavit: Sworn and subscribed before ma this thirteenth day of April. A. D., 1893. IRA COSS, Justice of the Peace. Justice Coss evidenced his Interest and good feeling by the following certificate: I hereby certify that all that Mr. Struble says regarding his rheumatic and other troubles I believe to bo true and correct. IRA COSS, Justice of the Peace. On the farm with Mr. Struble live his two adult sisters. Miss Annie M. Struble made the following statement: "Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People have done wonderful things for roy brother. He was in a helpless condition when I left him on Jan. 12th last, and when I return! on March 2öth, I found him curd. The most remarkable thing about the case," she continued, "is the curing of his Jamene3s. Of course I wantel to know all about the causes of such a wonderful change, and I learned from him and my sister and others, that during my absence he had been using the Pink Fills, and that his recovery was attributed solely to Chem." Miss Mary E. Struble said: "I saw my brother in all the stages of the disease. He began improving as soon as he began taking the Pink Pills, when my sister went away In January he was apparently at death's door and nobody seemed to have any hope for him. He certainly had little or none for himself, and was very despondent in spite of ail efforts to cheer him. He declared that he felt better as soon as he began taking th Pink Fills and to one who. like nnself, was attending him day by day, thera could be no doubt that they and they alone were the cause of his improvement. Why all other things he had tried he had abandoned, for they had failvl to do the slightest good. What eb?e could have put him on his feet again. We don't wonder at his enthusiasm for the Pink Pills." George J. Bowman, the proprietor of the American hotel at Branchvill, said: "All that Mr. Struble says in reference to the Pink Pills I know to be true. In fact he can't say too much about them for they have undoubtedly saved his life." At the Branchville drusr store, chief clerk Henry Beemer, remarked: "I have no doubt that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured Mr. Struble." Joseph If. McDonald, the proprietor of the general store of Branchville, and Postmaster Knox expressed themselves in similar terms. Pink Pills for many years previous to their peneral manufacture were used as a prescription. At first they were chiefly prescribed for impure blood. and general weakness. Now they are found to be a neverfailing' epecliic for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, Kt. Vitus' dance, sciatica , neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of La Grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, and all disorders of the blood, such as scrorula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for trouble peculiar to females, such as suppression. Irregularities, and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure In all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. Fink Pills are sold In boxes (never in loose form, by the dozen or hundred, and the public is cautioned against numerous imitations sold In this shape), at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druKRists or direct by mall from Dr. Willlams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y or Iirock1lle, Ont. A DIABOLICAL CRIME. Terrible Outrage Ipon a Georgia Young Lad)-. CARROLLTON, Ga., Aug. 12. A diabolical crime came to light at Brooks Station, Fayette county, about fourteen miles this side of Griffin, Wednesday. Walter Reeves and John Frtce are accused of assaulting Miss Dora Bishop, a beautiful and highly respected young lady and daughter of John Bishop, a well-to-do farmer, living two miles north of Brooks Station. Miss Bishop says that John Frice made an engagement to take her to church Sunday night and came for her in his buggy at the appointed hour. They had traveled some distance, when Price stopped and Walter Reeves came up to the buggy out of a deep woods. The young lady says 6he was dragged from the buggy by the two young men and forced to submit to an assault under threat of Instant death. She started to run to her home but was caught by young Price and replaced In the buggy. He told her he would kill her If she attempted to run and If she ever made known what had been done to her. Price took the young lady to church ' and back to her home, where he left her. j Warrants were sworn out the next morning for Reeves and Price and WednesI day Reeve was captured, but Price es- . caped. Tne whole country was aroused and although young Reeves belongs to. one of the most noted families of Fay- ! ette and.

A Mineral Water That Possesses Marvelous Curative Properties.

A Specific For All Diseases of a Contagious or Infectious Character.

A Careful Study of Its Analysis Proves That It Is Composed Principally of Chlorides and Sulphides, the Strongest Germicidal Properties Known to Science.

The White Sulphur Springs of Montezuma, Ind., seem to grow In favor with the public each year. The old friends of the resort ceme back to bathe in its curative waters and bring new patients to test its merits. While all health resorts are complaining of dull times and a lack of business, this resort Is Im proving in business and popularity each J year. This can only be attributed to the fact that the public generally are beginning to find out that the water of this celebrated place has no equal 'as a medicinal or curative water. Some tests made during the present season have shown that the water has the power to destroy the germs of various diseases, and all the lower forms of life that usually live in water soon perish when placed In the- White Sulphur water. A fish will only live a few minutes, a frog ten or twelve minutes, turtles from one to two hours, while cattle, hogs and horses will go miles to get the water and seem to thrive and grow fat while drinking it. The observation of these facts led the proprietor of this place to make some careful investigations as to the real merits of this water as a germdestroyer, and each test was more than satisfactory, showing that diseases that are usually attributed to bacilli or germs of disease yield quickly when brought In contact with the water of these springs. A careful Investigation of the analysis of this water shows that of 426 grains of mineral ingredients 396 are of either sulphides, sulphates or chlorides, all of them being considered by the highest scientific authorities as the surest disinfectants known. These minerals are in solution made by nature and are in a finer state of subdivision that can be formed by mixing these ingredients together in a chemical laboratory; therefore, they act quicker and with more certainty than a medicine compounded from similar ingredients, even- though prepared by the best chemist in the land.

This is done by eliminating through the kidneys, liver and skin the obstacles to the perfect circulation of the blood through all the arteries of the human system, while the diseases that effect the stomach and are now considered to be of perm or I grin, the mere presence of this water in the stomach destroys these germs. All diseases that afflict the liver or bowels seem to yield readily to this water. Recent investigation proves that even the cholera car be reached by enemas of warm salt water, yet this water will penetrate the system In half the time that any solution made will take. Russian medical experts found that all patients who died with cholera upon whom post mortem examinations were held were found to be suffering with some chronic form of stomach trouble and that a healthy stomach could almost be considered cholera-proof. This water cures all forms of stomach troubles and keeps the system in a healthy condition, and Its known power to destroy the germs of disease, coupled with the treatment of the leading German specialists, leads some of the most prominent physicians of Indiana and Illinois to claim that this water would not only be a preventative, but a cure of this dreaded scourge to humanity. This season has been one of more than usual gaiety at this resort.

Geologist Collett's Endorsement. This well. said ex-State Geologist Collett, was bored down near to tha Trenton rock. The water running between the rock strata has decomposed the minerals that It has encountered, and furnished sulphides of lime and potassium, with a large amount of sulphureted hydrogen. No putrefactive fermentation can take placa In th stomach of a person in the presence of these sulphides and sulphureted hydrogen. Therefore It Is an absoluta curat for dyspepsia. Bathing In this water removes the old engorged matter In tha 4 pores of of the skin and the dead skin, and that fact alone causes the impurities of the system to pass out through the pores Instead of throurh the kidney and otherwise, thus assisting natura to effect a cure. These sulphides and the sulphureted hydrogen gas are at one assimilated and taken into the circulation of the blood, and no , bacillus or bacterium can exist In the fluid containing a heavy amount of sulphur ia atomic form. They are killed. The sulphides and the sulphureted hydrogen gas are assimilated so as to coursa through the blood of the whole system within an hour. The sulpLur kilts all blood poison of every natuve whatever In the system, therefore It Is an absoluta antidote to all derivative of blood poison, such as rheumatism, skin diseases, kidney diseases, and particularly all the mysterious trouble of the mucous membranes in men, and especially in their torturing effect upon women. In the wasting stages of typhoid fever this water is of miraculous efficacy. There is no white sulphur well in the world better than this well In Indiana, A great many cases) of rheumatism of years' standing have been relieved and cured by this water. Younp and old women with disease peculiar to their sex can undoubtedly obtain great benefit, in many cases entire relief."
