Major of that town, in default of hail
of $."1(1(1 for the two crimes.

The house of representatives is to be i
complimented upon the dignified man
ner in which it made futile the fron j
zied attempt of a member from the !
borough of Brooklyn, one Baker, to I
gain a little cheap notoriety by means J
of an absurdly violent attack upon I
the president of the United States.
Leaving Baker to howl in vain for ng- I
gressive action against him because of |
what he had said and the resolution he j
had offered, the house went calmly
about its regular business. The sen
ate in its most dignified mood could
not have done better. Albany Journal.

Constipation lends to worse. Often it is
tlie cause of appendicitis. Always it lends
to dangerous chronic disease. It should
I not be neglected, nor should it be tempor
j arily relieved with drastic purgatives, Hero
is a cuse in point:
Mr. C. S. Osterhoudt, of Barrytown, N.
Y., was distressed with indigestion, chronic
constipation and kidney trouble for four
years. He tried many medicines without
relief. He heard of Cal-cura Solvent, Dr.
Kennedy's iieio medicine, used it and begun
to improve rapidly. All of lus old com
plaints have disappear! d and ho owes
everything to Cal-cura Solvent.
If your druggist does not have Cal-cura
