diplomats say.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, is cred-|
ited with having made one of the
best speeches in favor of the free coin-
age of silver ever heard in the Senate.
While as strong in his belief in silver
as any man in Congress Mr. Jones
free from the radical opinions, the ex-
pression of which by some of the sil-
ver men has done the cause for silver
far more harm than good. He spoke
for about two hours, and made a very
conservative statement, calling es-
pecial attention to the unfavorable at-
titude of Great Britain, Germany and
France towards silver, and the certain-
ty that this attitude is not likely to be
changed for a long time to come,
While admitting the great responsibil
ity of the U. 8B. in attempting the re-
establishment of bimetallism alone, he
advorated it as a duty that should not
be shunned :

Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, Ill, was told by her doctors she
had consumption and that there was no
hope for her, but two bottles of Dr.
King’s New Discovery completely cur-
ed her and she says it saved her life.
Mr. Thomas Eggers, 130, Florida St.,
San Francisco, suffered from a dread-
ful cold, approaching consumption,
tried without result everythin else then
bought one bottiefof Dr. King's New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured.
He is naturally thankful. It is such
results, of which these are samples,
that prove the wonderful efficacy of
this medicine in coughs and colds.
