Thk indications ure there will be a grand scramble among Democratic ofllce-seekers this year. It is charged that the Mine Inspec tors do not inspect. "Vliut would be the result were they sent to Harris burg. Thk Herald prints more papers dally than all the other publications in Shenandoah combined. Those who use these columns appreciate this. "WHEN anything ruilles some of the Cuban editors they"threaten to go off to the hills and become bandits. Some of those in this county go to Harrisburg to "recuperate."' JUDGING from the investigation at Harrisburg, the gentleman who form erly represented this Senatorial ills trict is in politics "for what there is in it," to say nothing of brick houses. Brother. Zkrbky hasn't yet ex plained how the Republican's "ex elusive information" in, reference to Pottsville's new postmaster went astray. The suspense is unbearable. It Is charged by a certain publica tion that Mine Inspectors do not in spect. Suppose they be given n chance at the inspection of the doings of the alleged bribers at Harrisburg. A bill has been introduced in the Legislature to prevent Judges from accepting railroad passes. What about members of the Legislature, who enact laws that Judges enforce It looks very much as if President McKinley gave the United States Senators from Pennsylvania the "trun down" in the reappointment of Schrink as postmaster at Potts- ville. Thk Republican factions are laying their plans to control the party or ganization In the state by the election of state delegates. Senator Plinn, of Pittsburg, is the anti-Quay candidate for state chairman. What's the matter with those im plicated in the bribery charges mak ing a clean breast of it, and securing a portion of the $30,000 reward. It would pay better than their nefarious game of "holding up" legislators. The Iiochiel hotel at Harrisburg is built to accommodate all classes of people. Communicating doors do not necessarily mean that the gentlemen occupying them always commune for their country's good nor for the benefit of their health. It is easy to see now why there was such a determined elTort made to prevent an investigation of the bribery charges in the legislature. There is a prospect that a portion of the rewards offered by the Business Men's League will be earned. THE Catholics or the state are justly indignant at the use of Arch bishop Ryan's name in connection with the passage of the McCarrell bill, John J. Coyle, who was elimi nated from the polltios of this county -was charged by Representative Engler with dragging the archbishop's name into such a controversy. This udds condemnation to Coyle's question able acts at Harrisburg. The mine inspectors have all com pleted their annual reports and for warded them to the state department. Chief Brownleo has inaugurated one or two changes, one of whloh is com pelting the inspectors to give a statistical compilation of men em ployed, tons of coal mined, number of mules, boilers, engines, pumps, etc. This entails extra clericul work for t ie inspectors for what good pur pose we do not know.

The almost certain failure of the starvation cure for dyajiepsla baa been proven tint and again, but still the moment dyspepsia make Its appearance a course of dieting is at once advleed. AU this la mdlrnlly wrong. It is rnoliih nnd iiiKsoJenllflc to recommend dieting or starvation to a man suffering from dyrpewia, because indigestion itself starves every organ and every nerve and every flb"re in the body. What the dyspeptio wants Is abundant nu trition, which means plenty of good, whole some, well-cooked food and something to as sist the weak stomach to digest it. This Is exactly the purpose for which Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets, are adapted and this is the method by which they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia, in other words the patient oats plenty of wholesome food and Stuart's Dys pela Tablets digest It for klin. In this way the system Is nourished and the overworked stomach rested, because the tablets will di gest the food whether tho stomach works or not. Ono of these tablets will digest 3,000 gialnsof meat or eggs. Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest aud safest remedy for stomach troubles and every trial makes one nioro frijud for this excellent preparation.

It does not require nn expert to detect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, 'the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the snltow parsnip colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheuma tism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it must be at once repeated, or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Koot, the great dis covery of the eminent kidney and hladdei specialist, is a positive remedy for sucli dis eases. Its reputatiou is world-wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention Evening Herald and write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingharnton, N.

Consumption Cured. BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GUAVB. Last November Mr. Joseph James, fiainter, of 325 W. Pearl St., Indianapo is, Iud., was at death's door with quick consumption. Wasted to a skeleton; his lungs a mass of ulceration; his death was hourly awaited by his doctor and family. He was kept in a constant stupor with opium. A friend, thinking to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its wonderful effect, the doctor advised its continued use. Mr. James soon after dismissed his doctor, g and depended on the Balm alone. His recovery was rapid and complete, and in February he returned to work. His lungs are sound, and his weight greater than at any time in his life. His recovery is regarded as almost a miracle. COMUA BACILLUS. In consumption beware of cough mix tures and prescriptions that contain opium. Opium paralizes the nerves, and gives the comma bacillus a good chance to destroy the lungs. It is always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not contain a trace of any opiate, but stimu lates the nerves with new life and power, destroys the microbe, and restores all that is left of the diseased lungs to a sound and healthy state which no other remedy has ever been known to accom plish.
