Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery is an almost unfailinc cure if taken" in the earlier stages of the disease. It will cure consumption and all allied dis eases, as bronchial, throat and nasal affec tions. It cures by goinfr to first principles. A man's body starves a long time before consumption attacks him. The tissues of his lungs starve for lack of sufficient nour ishment. They become inert and half dead and then are attacked by the bacci..i of consumption. The " Golden Medical Discovery " restores the long lost appetite; it strengthens the weak stomach and cor rects the impaired digestion; it promotes the Sow of digestive juices and facilitates the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food into the blood. When the blood is pure and rich, old inert tissues are torn down, carried off and excreted, and new. healthy, muscular tissues replace them. It allays inflammation of the mu cous membranes, soothes the cough, fa cilitates expectoration, and deepens the breathing, supplying the system with a much needed stock of oxygen. It drives on' all impurities and disease germs. Medicine dealers sell it. •• I was first taken nearly two years ago with choking and aching in my throat, writes Mrs- T> / Moore, of Demmg, Grant Co..

Ex-Secrotarj of State Sherman Kx preaaea Regret at Dlderenpea Ile tuem Sliafter ond (iorrla. Former Secretary of State John Sherman, in an interview, said: "I re gret to hear of the reported differ ences between Gens. Shafter and Gar cia in Cuba. If the Cubans deserved enough respect to be recognized by the L'nited States, it seems to me they should be respected on the field of bat tle. They have battled for liberty and freedom from Spanish tyranny for hai f a century or more and now that the object which they have so long fought for is in sight they should share in the fruits of victory. Gen. Garcia Should have been invited to the sur render of Santiago, and if he was not a blunder was made. "Congress passed a resolution to ex pel Spain from Cuba. In that resolu tion it was clearly stipulated that we would leave the island to the control of the people thereof after a firm and stable government bad been estab lished. Therefore we cannot with any show of consistency lay claim to the island after it has been taken from Spain. "It is yet to be determined whether or not the Cubans are capable of s.elf government. If they are. well and good. We should turn the island over to them, but if the Cubans become dis satisfied with their form of govern ment after we set it up, and rebel against it, we would doubtless feel called upon to step in and take the island. This, to my mind, is the only contingency which could arise where in the l'nited States would be justified in taking Cuba." HOW A MAUSER FEELS Correspondent \\ bo W ax Wounded nt Sanllflco Ucaerlbes Ills Sennfttions. James Creelman. the correspondent of the Xew York Journal who was wounded in the fighting about Santi ago, thus describes how it feels to be hit by a Mauser bullet: "When I was struck by the Mauser bullet whicli smashed my arm and made a gap in my back I felt as if I had received a blow with a shut fist. The sensation was no more and no less than that which might have come from a rough punch given by some too hilarious friend. There w;*b just a suspicion of stinging after the first sensation when the bullet struck. "It whirled me half around, but the bullet did not have weight enough to knock me down. X neither feit the bullet at the point of entry, where the wound is as small as a gimlet hole, nor at the point of exit in the back, where there is a big gap 3y 2 inches in diameter. "It was curious how little sensation came from the wound at first. The next moment I felt a numbness in my arm and a pain in my hand and found my arm hanging loose like an empty sleeve, the bone having been broken. Contrary to the experience of most men shot by Mausers, I bled a great deal. "A curious thing about this wound, and all the more curious because I did not feel it at the time, is the fact that the terrible velocity of the bullet actually burnt the flesh black as it left the body. It left a ring of charred, black flesh." ENGINEERING WORK OF NAVY, While Meeting: the Immediate Re quirements It Is .Also Ileing Mnile of Permanent Value. Chief Engineer Melville, of the navy, is not only keeping abreast of the con stant requirements of vessels in time of war, but also is shaping the en gineering work so as to make it of permanent value. The Key West sta tion was of little account when the war began, but gradually it has 1 been built up until now the engineering bureau has a large establishment there with ICO men in service and material to make speedy repairs with out the delay incident to sending ships north. A step of permanent advan tage to the navy is the dis tilling ships. These carry a large ap paratus for transferring ordinary sea water into palatable drinking water. Ordinarily a tank steamer carrying fresh water has comparatively a small capacity, probably .'{.ooo to 4.000 gal lons, but by the process of distilling, one pound of coal will transform 30 pounds of sea water into fresh drink ing water. The distilling ships there fore, carry ample supplies of coal for their distilling apparatus, as the coa!, represents 20 times its weight in fresh water. The Iris and the Rainbow are now being fitted with distilling ma chinery. CERVERA WRITES TO A BOY. KIIm Elaborate Response to « Request for a Hntton and IIIN VotoKrapli. A few days ago a little 11-year-old boy wrote Admiral Cervera asking for a button and the admiral's autograph. He was made happy by receiving the following note from the Spanish ad miral: "Annapolis. July 20, 129S.—My Dear Sir— I have received your letter and as I saved absolutely none of my clothes, as I had to go ashore swimming, I cannot send you a button, as you desire. My autograph you will have in the signature to this letter. "I remain most sincerely your servant, who kisses your hand, "I'ASQUALE CERVERA." T» Tent Ilnrilnen* of Steel Ualls. A new method of testing the hard ness of steel balls lias been devised in Germany. The balls are dropped from a fixed height on a glass plate set at an angle. If properly tempered they rebound into one receptacle, and if they arc too soft they drop into an other. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup cures croup and whooping-cough. It is a family necessity, and should always be kept on hand. Teacher: If your father came home and gaye your mother three twenty-dol lar gold nieces, what would she have? Printer's Son: A fit or two, I reckon. A bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla con tains the beginning of good health for you. A Wyandotte, Kan., girl, who re cently caused the arrest of her pastor for kissing her, testified under oath that his kiss was "so cold that it made her shiver." RHEUMATISM CURED IN A DAY.
