Dr. Miles Nervine A REMEDY FOR THE Effects of Tobacco.

fe ifffi

TIIE excessive use of tobacco, especially by young men Is always injurious and undoubtedly shortens life materially. Mr. Ed. C. Ebsen, compositor on tbo ContraCosta Kews, Martinez, Cal., writes; "I hare used Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and received much benefit from it. I was troubled with nervousness, dizzy spells and sleeplessness, caused by the use of tobacco and stimulants. I took Dr. Miles Nervine with marvelously good results, allaying the dizziness, quieting the nerves, and enabling mo to sleep and rest, proving In my caso a very beneficial remedy." Dr. Miles Iiestorative Nervine Is especially adapted to restoring the nervous system to its normal condition under such circumstances. It soothes, heals and strengthens. Dr. Miles Remedies are sold by all druggists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money refunded. Book on diseases of the heart and nerves free. Address, V Miles'" Nervine i & .

The man who bought wheat ten days ago has demonstrated himself to be a successful speculator. American women in Havana will remember the Maine by holding a memorial anniversary, Feb. 15. There is apparentiy a determination to enact a county and township reform bill, party conditions notwithstanding. Following Boston's $30,000 purchase of a new carnation, Mrs. William Astor pays $30,000 for a dinner set. While some have money to burn" others aie ready to burn to burn for money. Walter K. Landis, a newspapei man of Marion, and a brother of Congressman Landis, has been appointed postmaster of an Juan, Porio Rico. He is to take charge Feb. 1. Mr. Landis recently left for Porto Rico and helped to establish the United States postoffices in Ponce and other cities. The republicans are now busy reading Congressman Johnson out of the party. That party never has had use for a man except he consents to be a "figure-head" a sort of parrot. So long as men will be whipped into line, we mav as well have a despotic government and be done with it. Politicians may not like it but the people in general will applaud the independent course of Congressman Johnson. The contest over the reorganization of the State Board of Education is now before the general assembly and the fight between the two factions of the school men is bitter. The non-state colleges are demanding that the presidents of the three f.ute schools, who are now members of the board ex-officio, be temoved and the power of appointment given to the governor. They claim that thtte men are able to draw pationage to the state schools on account of their position on the board, receiving students who might otherwise attend a non-state school. The state school men and their friends demand that the higher state "itutions be represented on the oanHS formerly and ask that three county nerintendents be added to it, so that tu state board will represent the rural schools, city schools tnd the hightr astitutions, every

phise of public school work. They claim the private schools have no right to assist in determining the policy of the public schools, and are boldly threatening to take the fight into politics unless the non-state people withdraw their demands.

One of the great lawyers of the union fe'l at his post in Washington, Thursday, while expounding the law before the supreme court of the United States. There is no question about Garland's legal attainments or his ability to expound constitutional law. While in the midst of an argument he fell to the floor and was dead in ten minutts, thus dying as he desired to die. To Judge Scott he once said: It has been forty years since I argued my first case. Nothing would please me better when my time comes to die than to be stricken right here in this court room, in the midst of an argument. That would be the flitting climax to my career." And strange as it may seem Garland fell almost in the same spot he occupied while making the above statements. The lower house of the legislature has passed a bill fixing the compen sation of special judges at $5 a day and providing against two salaries where a regular judge is called into another county to hold court. This bill ought to become a law. There is no greater injustice done the peo pie of the state than the practice of the judge of one county or circuit holding court in an adjoining county an I drawing pay as special judge in that county and his regular salary in his own county at the same time. There have been instances in which the regular judge, acting as special judge in an adjoining county appointed a special judge of his own county to act in his absence, but drawing pay for the same work. In other words, the people have had to pay three men for the same work, Wabash county has witnessed an instance of similar practice. Tudge Wiley, who has acted as special judge on the W abash bench during the past six months periodically, is also one of the Indiana appellate court judges, and as such draws a regular salary in addition to his per diem as special judge in Wabash county. At the same time Shively drew his alary as regular judge. SENATORIAL. DKADLOlKS The past week witnessed the election of Mr. Sctt, republican, to the United States senate from West Virginia, in Texas Governor Culberson, democrat, was elected, in Montana Clark, democrat, was chosen, and in New Jersey, Kean, republican, was successful. Seven senatorial deadlocks continue without material change. In Pennsylvania the republicans have a majority over all on joint ballot of 74, and the full republican vote is 164. Quay leads with an average of 104 votes, or 14 less than a majority of the votes cast. In Delaware the republican ma jority over all on a full vote is 10. The full repub'ican membership is 31. The Addicks and Gray votes have been 15 each on nearly every ballot thusfi-r cast. In Nebraska the total republican members is 72, the republican major ity over all 13. The highest repub lican vote for any one candidate was 41, being 32 less than the full re publican strength and 26 less than the required majority. In Wisconsin the republican strength is 112, the republican ma jority over all 91, and the number necessary to elect 67. The highest vote for any candidate was 40. In California the republican mem bership in the legislature is 84, the republican majority over all 18, and the number necessary to elect 61. The highest candidate on the list received 26 votes. The situation is no better, in Washington. The republican mem bership is S5 and the republican majority over all 58. With 55 votes needed to elect a senator the highest vote was 28, Turning to a democratic state of the seven the situation is equally unpromising. In Utah the straight democratic vote is 4 1 and the democratic major

ity over all 19. To elect requires 32 votes and the highest vote for

one candidate was 21. enner SIMON POKAGON. After an eventful career of nearly 70 years, the last chief of the Pottawatomies, Simon Pckagon, has been gathered to his fathers. He died Friday at his cheerless cabin home in a desolate region of southern Michigan after weeks of suffering. Pokagon's life had been one of sacrifice. He was no warrior. There was no fighting blood in his veins. He belonged to a peaceful band of the famous tribe and followed in the footsteps of his father as a christian teacher, an advocate and defender of the red man's rights. He had re ceived a liberal education and was something of an orator as well as a writer. At one time he was in fair circumstances and an honored mem ber of the rural community near Hartford, Mch. Of late years, how ever, the old chief was reduced to actual want by neglecting his own affairs for those of his band and a fire not long ago destroyed his dwelling and many of his valuable papers. After many years of determined effort Pokatjon succeeded in securing for his people the annuity that had been rightfully theirs ever since his father signed the treaty that ceded his birth-place and much surrounding land to the government in 1S33, but he shared equally with all the others in the distnbution of the money, his portion amounting to only about 400. The old chief was born in iS2o about six miles north of South Bend near the St. Joseph river, and he had great affection for the place of his birth. It was his dream of late to be able to bpy the site of the old village to build a home and pass the remainder of his days there. But when Ins money came from the government there was not enough to meet the obligations he had incurred in securing it, so the old chief's dream was never realized and he was compelled to suffer for the plain necessities of life at the end. He was wholly a dependent upon char ity. The story of Chief Simon Polygon's life, if correct'y written, would make one of the most inter esting, as well as the most thrilling and pathetic, to be found in all Indian history. A State School Champion. Senator Drummond was the first champion of the cU'mB of the state schools, aod began his talk, says the In oianapolis Journal, by saying that, while' the senator from Henry had atlinned that the nonstate light was to be carried on without bitterness, his attaek had been most violent, and if he wanted war it would be given him. lie said that for ten years tne record of the state board had been blameless. Regarding the claim that it was the pur pose to mix religion with study, he said tbe senators should give to religion all that is due to it, and likewise to the Hoard of Education that which was its due. Continuing, he said that all large universities in any state have ultimately been taken under the wing and protection of the state in order to secure their future. As proof of this, he said that the present State university had Leen plodine along for years with meager attendance and little influence until the state had taken it under its protection ai d made it known throughout the land. He held that it was the duty of the state to keep as close as possible to the schools of the state and if this scheme of allowing the governor to ap point members of tbe education boaid from here, there and everywhere was adopted the result would be that the state would lose control of its own educational system. Iu conclusion, he said. "The nigger in the woodpile is that more students are going to JJloomington than to other colleges, and the result is that these institutions are fired with an old woman jealousy of tbe state school to the extent that now, after ten years of success, when the Uoard of Edcation has brought the educational system of the state out into the light of day, the nonstate schools want to stab it in the back. If it is a question of perpetual license, if the nonstate schools turn out as good students as the state schools, the proof of it only entails the work of an hour or two of examinations, which is cheerfully given to applicants for teachers' licenses."

J Preacher's Mistake. This story is told od a Valparaiso preacher. On a hot Sabbath as he was preaching last summer, he took from his pocket what he thought was nis handkerchief, shook it out, wiped his face, intently talking all the time. To his surprise those in the front seats commenced to laugh, when he discovered that what he put in his pocktt for a bandPercbief that morning was a pair of his little child's drawers, the legs of which were quite visible as he wiped the perspiration from his face."
