From LaGrippe. How Dr. Mfles’ Nervine Restored One of Kentucky's Business f Men to Health.

No DISEASE has ever presented so many peculiarities ns LaQrtppe. No disease leaves its victims so debilitated, useless, sleepless, nerveless, as LaGrippe. Mr, D. W. Hiltcu, state agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, says: “In is® and '30 I had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, the last one attacking my nervows system with such severity that my life was despaired .of. I had not slept for more than two months except by the use of narcotics that stupefied me, but gave me no rest. I was only conscious of intense mental weakness, agonizing bodily pain and the fact that I was hourly growing weaker. When in this condition, I commenced using Dr. Milt's’ Restorative Nervine. In two days I began to improve and in one month’s time I was cured, much to the surprise of all who knew of my condition. I have been In excellent health since and have recommended your remedies to many of my friends.** Louisville, Jan. 22,1®S. D. W. Hlltoh. ftr.

The democrats of this county will meet at Winsjow, Saturday, February 22,1895, at 1:30 p. m. for the purpose of electing a county central committee to serve for the uext two years. Every democratic voter in the county has a voice in choosing the committee. so you are responsible far the kind of men selected whether you attend or not. Let there be a large attendance from each township. M L. Heathmax, Chairman. M. McC. Stoops, Secretary. The Reed tariff bill is Apparently ao dead as a last year's birduept, and It was billed by republican senators at that. The scheme of the high tariff republican senators was to take up the free coinage substitute fqr the tariff bill, M-hich was reported to the Senate from the finance committee, vote that substitute down with the aid of anti-silver democrats, and then with the aid of populists to pass the tariff bill without amendment. But it struck a *snag in the shape of a republican revolt as soon as the very first move to carry it j>ct was made, and the revolt was led by the chairman of the republican national commi tee—Carter, of Montana—who, with three oilier silver republican senator voted against taking up the tariff bill. The high tariff republicans; are now engaged jn trying to beg or bulldoze the revolting silver, republicans into coming back into line and carrying out the decree-of the republican caucus by voting to pass the] Reed tariff bill without amendment, but there arc no indications of their succeeding. TitE republican state central committee at a meeting i&st week decided to attack the apportionment of 1885 and ail former apportionments. The people of the stale of Indiana remember that the late sadly lamented republican legislature passed an apportionment act that was illegal and so declared by the supreme court. That legislature was overwhelmingly re

publican in both branches and the work done by that body was to create gtrile among the people, besides placing burdens on the taxpayers in the shape of extensive court business. The republican leaders now propose to throw the state into a chaotic condition by fighting the legislative apportionments framed years ago and by which legislators have been elected. They do this they say to force the governor Into calling the legislature ii'n special session for the purpose of making another apportionment law. <|Honest Injun.” The people of the state will object to such proceedings as they hate had enough of republican legislation in Indiana to last for years to come.

Much has been said in these columns for sometime past regarding the cost of bridges, and the fact that The Demockat has brought the question before The People has cause^ the republican organ to become very funny. Yet the figures quoted below will show that the bridges have cost more than $12 per foot as claimed by the Press of last week. To cut the matter short the following figures and dates, except the price per foot, are taken from the contracts as they appear in the, “bridge” box in the auditor's office. There may be other contracts which we know nothing ot, but these figures can be found by investigation : 6 Per foot July 24 1891, two bridges of 30 feet each; $1,500 .... .. $15 00 April 19. 1892, ope bridge $2 feet long; $475. About .;. 14 85 October 7, 1892, one bridge 100 feet long; 12,000 . ... 20 00 May 15, 1898, two bridges, one 20 feet and one 50 feet; 11,030. About .. 14 72 May 15,1894, three bridges, one 60 feet $1,495, one 40 feet $62>. one 24 feet >820; total $2,440. About. ..... 19 68 June 7, 1894, one bridge 40 feet long; $600 . .. 15 00 September 7, 1804, three bridges, one 40 feet, one 30 febt, one feet; $1,595. About ...v. . . 14 24 February 22, 1893, two bridges, one 4 33 feet and one 29 feet; $530 _*_ 10 00 March 6, 1895, one bridge 28 feet long; $200 ..I... 10 00 Jane 5, 1885, one bridge 23 feet long; $250. About . .. 1137 February 25,1895. one bridge 40 feet long; >400 . ... 10 00 September 25, 1895, one bridge 22 feet long; $242 --. .......— 11 00

Ail out me last two are contracts made with the same firm. It will be noticed that by adding the number of feet together you.will hare 727 feet of iron bridge;, at a total cost of 111,122. A little calculation will also show that the average cost, per foot is but a trifle less than $15.30, or $3 30 per foot more than the Press sets the price to be. The readers now have all the facts, and they may judge as to the price paid. The lower price of bridge work has been urged by The Democrat, and with the new bidders in the field the price has come down to the present figures. The vote in the House—215 to 90— against the free coinage substitute for the IJouse bond bill makes it certaiu that whether the Senate passes the< free coinage substitute or pot, free coinage is as dead for this session as the Reed tariff bill, and that brings forward the question, what is this Congress going to do anyway ?f It looks now as though the republicans would spend the time not devoted to passing the regular appropriation bills in making moves for or against the various presidential candidates, and that the final result of the session would be the appropriation bills. The Press of last week offers a very thin excuso as to why more lauds were not advertised a9 delinquent. The reasons advanced of “that the republican party is not in power in national affairs,” “hard times,*' “golden rule,” etc., does not come to the \ Jut and should not deter officials from collecting the taxes as levied. There is a delinquency of over $23,000. Why uot collect this amount and pay off* the floating orders ? The free coiuage substitute was defeated iu the House last Friday, the republicans voting almost solidly against it. Congressman IlemeDway of this district voted against the free coinage substitute as did the other Iudiaua republican congressmen present. The vote stood 215 to 90.

The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal reflecting unfairly upon the Work of Ex-Con-gressman Taylor, of Indiana, says the Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis News, while he was a member of the rivers and harbors committee of the House. In aq effort to do justice to Congressman Ilemeoway, who is trying to secure an increased appropriation for his district and vicinity, the dispatch to the Journal stated that Mr. Taylor had accomplished notuing. Several members of the rivers and harbors committee say this is an injustice to him. Mr. Taylor secured an appointment on the rivers and harbors committee,

by dint of persevering work, in the second session of the Fifty-third congress. The rivers and harbors bill bad been practically completed when he w ent on the committee* As soon as he was appointed bC demanded as his right, as a member of the committee a hearing in behalf of the local interests,of his district. As a result of the hearing, the appropriations for the White aud Wabash rivers were both increased and $, danse was inserted in the rivers and harbors bills appropriating 125,000 to be expended near Evansville to prevent a “cut-off.” The committee also authorized a preliminary survey of the Evansville harbor for permanent improvements. Three distinct item!

for local improvements were pot iu the river and harbors bill after Mr. Taylor became a member of the committee. The First district Congressman tried also iu behalf of the commercial interests of Evansville, to have the appropiiation of $35,000 for improving the lock and dam on Green river increased to $105,000. The committee declined to increase the appropriation before the bill was reported to the House, but agraed not to make ment to the bill, providing for the increase, when it was considered in the House. The amendment was prepared by Representatives Taylor and Ellis, of Kentucky. The latter offered the amendment in the House, and Mr. Taylor made a speech urging that it be placed in the bi,m, and it was finally adopted by the House, chiefly because Mr. Taylor’s colleagues on the river and harbor pommittee declined out of deference io him, to make any objection to it. These facts are so well-known here that Congressman Catchings and other members of the rivers and harbors committee, were very much surprised at the dispatch in the Journal. Congressman Hemenway has been very active in his efforts to secure all the Deeded appropriations lor the Ohio, Wabash and White rivers, and notwithstanding the fact he failed to secure the place on the rivers and harbors committee for which he had been indorsed by the Indiana delegation, he believes that he will secure ample recognition for his perseveriug work in behalf of his constituents. a point of order

It May Do as Much for Too. Mr. Fred Miller, Irving, 111., writes that he had a severe Kidney trouble for many years, with severe pains in his back and also that his bladder was affected. He tried many so called kidney cures but without any good result. About a year ago he began use of Electric Bitters and found relief at once. Electric Bitters is especially adapted to cure of all kidney and liver troubles and often gives almost instant relief. One trial will prove our statement." Price only 50c. for large bottle. At J. R.

The people of this part of Pike county are complaining a great deal about high taxes and the enormons expenditures of money for bridges and levies. Threw Away His Canes. Sir. D. Wiley,ex-postmaster, Black Cr^ek X. Y., was so badly afflicted with rheumatism that he was only able to hobble around with canes, and even then it caused him great pain. After using Chamberlain's Pain Balm he was so much improved that he threw away his canes. He says this liniment did him more good than all other medicines and treatment put together.
