■ Indigestion, congested liver, tmi pure blood, constipation, there are what afflict thousands of people who do not know what is the matter with them. They drag along a miserable existence; they apply to the local doei tors occasionally, and sometimes obtain a little temporary relief, but the , old, tired, worn-out. all-gone, distressed feeling always comes back again < worse than ever,' until in time they become tired of living, wonder why they were ever born, and why they are . alive unless to endure constant suffering. To such sufferers there is a haven of refuge in Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Drops, which was discovered more than 60 years ago, and which is a wonderful medicine. One \trial will convince the most skeptical i that any or all of these difficulties may be removed, and a perfect cure effected, by taking Dr. August Koei Dig’s Hamburg Drops.

RAISE IMMENSE SUM FOR CHURCH

Methodists Announce That Twentieth Century Fund Is Full. RESULT OF FOUR YEARS’ WORK New York and Pennsylvania Contribute About $3,000,000 Each, the Whole Being Made Up of Offering* From One Cent to Thousands. Springfield, Mass., dispatch: From the pulpit of Trinity Methodist church. Dr. Edmund M. Mills, secretary of the Twentieth Century Methodist Tbank Offering commission, Announced the completion of the $20,000,000 fund which .was begun four years ago. The undertaking, which was characterized by the bishops of the church as the most stupendous in the history of Methodism, was inaugurated in Trinity church in £his city at a meeting of the bishops in November, 1893. Several of the bishops had little expectation that the task would ever be accomplished, although they readily volunteered to assist. Secretary’s Huge Task. Difficulty was experienced in getting a secretary. The first man who was offered the honor was appalled by the magnitude of the undertaking, and did not hesitate to say so. The Rev. Dr. Edmund M. Mills, a presiding elder in the New York central conference, was finally chosen. In four years Dr. Mills has visited every state and conference in the United States, He has made hundreds of appeals and written tens of thousands of letters. Contributions have been received in amounts ranging from one cent to half a million dollars. Poor Maks Response. The raising of the $20,000,000 has meant an average contribution of about $9 by every member of the Methodist Episcopal chureh in the United States. The poorer communities, Dr. Mills said, had responded nobly. The raising of the final millions has meant actual sacrifices on the part of many communicants. There have been many instances of denial that were almost pitiful. Dr. Mills said. The largest contributions were received from New York and Pennsylvania, each state giving approximately $3,000,000. New York was an easy leader until a dispatch to Dr. Mills from Philadelphia announced that the Philadelphia conference wished to add $1,000,000 to the charities fund and $600,000 to the fund for lifting church debts. Honor for Trinity. On account of its connection with the inception of the movement Trinity church was accorded the honor of the notable watch night service at which the completion of the fund was officially announced. Chief in interest among the speakers was Dr. Mills, who gave information concerning the status of the fund. The Rev. J. S. J. McConnell, who is in charge of the twentieth century thanks offering fund at Philadelphia, announced that $1,800,000 had been subscribed by Philadelphia Methodists. The conference was asked to raise $690,000 toward the total fund of $20,000,000.

Van Doren, of 57 Sixth street, Fond du Lac, Wis., Presbyterian clergyman, says: “A man or woman who has never had kidney complaint or any of the little ills consequent upon irritated or inactive kidneys knows very little about what prolonged suffering is. I had attacks which kept me in the house for days at a time, unable to do anything, .and to express what I suffered can hardly be adequately done in ordinary Anglo-Saxon.

Peck’s Advice to Ingalls.

Charles W. Price, editor of the Electrical Review, in discussing the late Senator John J, Ingalls of Kansas, who was a personal friend of Mr. Price, alluded to his sarcastic tendency, which was frequently expressed in his correspondence. He said that Geo. R. Peck of Chicago, who was also a friend of Senator Ingalls, wrote a note to the senator at Washington asking him to secure the appointment of a mutual friend to a federal position. Senator Ingalls returned a very sarcastic reply, and declined to make the recommendation. Mr. Peck replied as follows : “I think It would be well for you to reserve your sarcasm for the rapidly increasing number of your enemies, instead of devoting it to the decreasing number of your friends, of whom I am one.” Mr. Price says the appointment was made. —New York Times.

When One Is Really Old.

When a man reaches the age of, say, 90, he should knock off work and devote a few years to having a good time. If he lets up on work at an earlier age he is liable and quite likely to up and die. At 90, if not sooner, hiß woman-foolishness ceases and wild oats have lost their flavor. If ever, then is the time when he is ready for the substantial enjoyments of life. — Wichita (Kan.) Eagle.

Swede's Good Opinion of His Countryman, John Lind. F. J. Carmody, newspaper correspondent, who was secretary of the Republican congressional committee in the Minneapolis district, brings back some stories characteristic of the Swedes in politics. "It is marvelous how the Swedes stick to the men of thelf own nationality," says he. “I met a Swedo during the campaign in a street car. ‘How did you vote for mayor in the last election?' I inquired. " ‘John Lind is already elected,* was the epigrammatic reply given me. “They were telling around Minneapolis before the election," added Mr. Carmody, “regarding another Swedo, who exclaimed boastfully that Johu Lind was 'a ha'l big man.’ “ Do you think he is bigger than George Washington?’ this Swede was asked. “ ‘Oh, ya, John Lind one ha'l big man.’ “ ‘Bigger than Abraham Lincoln?' “‘Oh. ya.’ “ ‘.Well, then, I supposo you think he is bigger than God Almighty?’ persisted the interrogator, angered at this laudation. “ ‘Wal,’ rejoined the Swede, shrewd enough in spite of his apparent ignoranco to hold his own in a political discussion, ‘John Lind bo still a young man.’ ” —Exchange.
