YOU?
Do you feel dull, languid, low-spirited, life
less, and indescribably miserable, both physi
cally and mentally; experience a sense of
fullness or bloating after eating, or of “gone
ness,” or emptiness of stomach in the morn
ing, tongue coated, bitter or bad taste in
m<|uth, irregular appetite, dizziness, frequent
headaches, blurred eyesight, “ floating specks ”
before the eyes, nervous prostration or ex
haustion, irritability of temper, hot flushes,
alternating with chilly sensations, sharp,
biting, transient pains here and there, cold
feet, drowsiness after meals, wakefulness, or
disturbed and unrefreshing sleep, constant,
indescribable feeling of dread, or of impend
ing calamity ?
If you have all, or any considerable number
of these symptoms, you are suffering from
that most common of American maladies—
Bilious Dyspepsia, or Torpid Liver, associated
with Dyspepsia, or Indigestion. The more
complicated your disease has become, the
greater the number and diversity of symp
toms. No matter what stage it has reached.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
will subdue it, if taken according to direc
tions for a reasonable length of time. If not
cured, complications multiply and Consump
tion of the Lungs, Skin Diseases, Heart Disease,
Rheumatism, Kidney Disease, or other grave
maladies are quite liable to set in and, sooner
or later, induce a fatal termination.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and
through that great blood-purifying organ,
cleanses the system of all blood-taints and im
purities, from whatever cause arising. It is
equally efficacious in acting upon the Kid
neys, and other excretory organs, cleansing,
strengthening, and healing their diseases. As
an appetizing, restorative tonic, it promotes
digestion and nutrition, thereby building up
both flesh and strength. In malarial districts,
this wonderful medicine has gained great
celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chills and
Fever, Dumb Ague, and kindred diseases.

SCIENTIFIC TttUTH.
How to 1- scape Small-Pox with a l’est
House in Broadway ?
Some time ago an article was published
in the .Scientific American which at the
time attracted wide attention. I|y re
quest of a correspondent we reproduce
the leading points therein:
To understand how intimately related
are the human kidneys to the physcal
health,‘‘wepropose metiphorica 11;\ speak
ing to take one from the human body
and place it in the wash-bowl before us.
and examine it.”
You will imagine that we have before
us a bodv shaped like a bean, smooth
and glistening, about four inches in
length, two in width and one in thickness.
It weighs in the adult about five ounces.
The body of the average size man con
tains about ten quarts of blood, every
drop of which passes through these fil
tered or sewers, many times a day, (as
often as through the heart,) making a
complete revolution in three minutes.
The kidneys taking away deadly impari
ties from 65 gallons of blood each hour
QY about 49 barrels each day, or 9,125
bogheads a year.
Let us slice this delicate organ open
lengthwise, and roughly describe its inte
rior.
We find it to be full of hundreds of little
tubes, short and thread-like, starting
lrom the arteries, ending in a little tuft
about midway from the outside, opening
into a sac which holds the Water to fur
ther undergo purification before it passes
into the ureters, and out of the body.
These little tubes are filters which do
their work automatically, and l ight here
the disease of the kidney begins.
From the slightest irregularity in our
habits, from cold, from high living, from
stimulants or a thousand and one other
daily causes, they lose their force.
What is the result? Congestion or stop
page of the current of blood vessels sur
rounding them, which become blocked;
these delicate membranes are irritated; in
flamation is set up, then pus is formed,
which collects in* the sac; the tubes are at
first partially and soon totally unable to
do their work. The sac goes on distend
ing with this corruption, pressing upon
the blood vessel. All this time, remem
ber, the blood, which is* entering the kid
neys to be filtered, is passing through
this terribly disgusting pus, for it cannot
take any other route.
It would be just as reasonable to ex
pect to escape contagion if a pest-house
were set across Broadway and countless
thousands were expected to go through
its pestilential doors, as for one to expect
the blood to escape pollution when con
stantly running through such a diseased
kidney.
Now what is the result? Why, that
the blood takes up and deposits this poi
son as it sweeps along into every organ,
into every inch of muscle, tissue, flesh
and bone, from your head to your feet.
And whenever, from hereditary influence
or otherwise, one part of the body is
weaker than the other, a, countless train
ofdisease is established, such asconsump
tion in weak lungs, dyspepsia, where
there is a delicate stomach, nervousness,
insanity, paralysis or heart disease, in
those who have weak nerves and bad cir
culation.
But the medical profession, knowing
that they cannot cure diseases of the kid
neys, treat the manifold symptoms caused
by this primary or causative.disease. As
fast as they cure one symptom, another
secondary one appears, and so they go
on, uselessly treating effects, the cause
being untouched.
But you say“my kidneys are all right.
I have no pain in the back.” Mistaken
man! People die of kidney disease, of so
bad a character that the organs are rot
ten, and yet they never there had a pain
nor an ache.
“How can you know that you have
kidney disease?”
Only by noting the general effects
wrought by the kidney poisoned blood in
other parts of the body. Kidney dis
ease disguises itself under symptoms of
common head, lungs, skin, liver, and
stomach disorders.
If you notice that you are not in as re
liable health as formerly, in any respect,
then the chances are that, though you
may have no known chronic disease,
your blood is full of uric kidney diseases,
primary or secondary.
The most skillful physician cannot de
tect such diseases at times, for the kid
neys themselves cannot be examined by
any means which we have at our command.
Even an analasys of the water, chemically
and microscopically, reveals nothing defi
nite in many cases, even when the kid
neys are fairly broken down.
Then look out for them, as disease, no
matter where situated, to 93 per cent, as
shown, by after deatli examinations, has
its origin in the breaking down of these
secreting tubes in the interior of the kid
ney.
Warner's safe cure, as it becomes year
after year better known for its wonderful
cures and its power over the kidneys, has
done and is doing more to increase the
average duration of life than all the phy
sicians known. It is a true specific, mild
but certain, harmless but energetic and
agreeable to the taste.
Take it when sick, as a cure, and never
let a month go by without taking a few
bottles as a preventative, that the kid
neys may be kept in proper order the
blood pure, that health and long life may
be your blessing.”
SERIOUS CHARGES DISMISSED.
Sensation in Memphis in Connection With
Indicted Municipal Officials.
Memphis, Teun., Jan. 9. —This community
was startled by a sensation Friday in the
criminal court, when Attorney General
George B. Peters arose just after the
court had been convened, and moved
that all the indictments, eighty-two in
number, pending against President D.
P. Hadden, Fire and Police Commis
sioner James Lee, Jr., Councilman John
E. Randle, County Trustee A. J. Harris and*
M harfmaster Patrick Kallaher be dismissed,
which was done without the consent or
knowledge of those gentlemen by Judge J. J.
Dubose in a prepared opinion, in which he
stated that he accepted the result of Thurs
day's election as equivalent to the verdict of
a jury finding the above named persons not
guilty of the offenses for which they had sev
erally been indicted.
In explanation of the action of Judge Du
bose, at the election held Thursday for the
taxing district officers, the people’s, or Had
den, ticket was elected by an overwhelming
majority, after a bitter personal campaign,
in which it was conceded by its opponents
that Hadden and his associates had accounted
for every dollar of public funds, and had not
appropriated to their own use one cent.
Tlpt conduct of Judge Dubose is criticised
by fin* indicted officials, and the community
generally, as unprecedented, but is accepted
as a complete vindication and the ending of
a clash which has existed here for the past
year between the criminal court and the
taxing district government.
A few days ago Wharf master Kallaher
produced documentary evidence which con
vinced the attorney general that he was in
nocent beyond the shadow of a doubt, hence
the dismissal of the sixty indictments against
liim.
A JEALOUS HUSBAND,
A Texas Doctor Murdered in New Orleans.
Two Sides to the Story.
New Orleans, Jan. 9.—A week ago Harry
L. Edwards had a quarrel with his wife.
She left home and went to live with her sis*
ters, Misses Katie and Lulu Lewis, in a
boarding house on Julia street. These young
ladies had a large number of male admirers,
among whom was Dr. L. L. Kuykendall, of
Texas, attending medical lectures in this
city, who was said to be paying address to Miss
Kate. Saturday night Dr.' Kuykendall
visited three sisters, in company with Dr.
Jourdan, another visiting physician. About
11 o’clock some one reported to the group in
the parlor that Ed wards was pacing excit
edly in front of the house. The ladies be
came alarmed and advised • the gentlemen to
leave. They prepared to do so and were say
ing their adieus when Edwards suddenly ap
pealed in the doorway with his hands in his
pockets.
After a pause of an instance he rushed
upon Kuykendall, seized him by the throat
and, drawing a revolver, placed the muzzle
against his stomach and fired. Kuykendall
fell mortally wounded. Edwards shot him a
second tffne and then turned his atteuiton to
the others. The Misses Lewis had fled from
the room, but Mrs. Edwards had retreated
to a corner. Edwards leveled his pistol on
his wife and fired, sending a bullet through
her left breast. She fell against the wall
and Edwards fired again, this time without
effect. Edwards then rushed from the house
and disappeared, but at 10 o’clock Sunday
morning he surrendered to the police.
The two wounded people were taken to a
hospital, where Kuykendall after lingering
in great agony died. Mrs, Edwards wound is
dangerous, but not necessarily fatal. Mrs.
Edwards had been twice married before she
met Edwards. She secured a divorce from
her first husband and married a man named
Pierce, who died leaving a soil This boy,
aged nine yeai-s, was a witness to the
tragedy. The woman’s relatives say Ed
wards treated her cruelly, and say she had
only met Kuykendall three times, and then
in company. Edwards’ friends, however,
say that Mi s. Edwards was entirely too inti
mate with Kuykendall, and that the shooting
was justifiable.

One of file Buildings in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard Burned,
New York, Jan. 7. —There was great ex
citement at the navy yard in Brooklyn this
morning among the officers and marines
upon the cry of fire being raised. They sal
lied out in undress uniform, and with
buckets, pails, and short ladders, went to
work to put it out. It had started in the
Navigation building on Washington avenue
in the second story of the south end, and had
originated in some offices where the plans for
the new war vessels to be built in the navy
yard were kept. Admiral Gherardi soon
turned out and thought that the fire could
be suppressed by his own men. The wind
caught the flames and whirled them up in
the air and soon the admiral and the other
officers in the yard saw that they could not
check its progress, and an alarm was sent
out for the fire department.
The district engineer on arriving did not
stop to dally with it, but sent out a third
alarm call The whole southern end of the
building blazed up in sheets of flame and
made a fine spectacle. Crowds gathered
around the walls outside, but marines
guarded the gates and would not allow spec
tators in. They did not want to let even the
firemen in. The building was used for the
construction, navigation, ordnance and
equipment departments. The officers of
these departments were in the two lower
stories, and above there is some storage
rooms. The buildings were 200 feet long by
fifty-feet wide.
THOEBE’S NEW MOVE.
Charges Made That the Outlaying Returns
Were Carefully Doctored.
Washington, Jan. 9. —Gen. J. Hale Sy
pher, attorney for G. H. Thoebe, the con
testant for the seat occupied by Mr. Carlisle
as a member of the Fiftieth congress, ap
peared before the election committee yester
day and asked for a reopening of the case to
take further testimony.
He charged that Thoebe’s original attor
ney, L. A. Wood, of Kentucky, sold out to
the opposing party, and failed to take the
testimony which should and might have been
taken, by which Thoebe’s election could have
been established.
He claimed that when Carlisle’s friends
found that he was beaten, they caused the
returns of the outlying counties to be held
back and manipulated so as to elect him. He
further charged that Mr. Carlisle was appar
ently, in some degree at least, cognizant of
the fraud charged. Mr. Carlisle did not ap
pear by attorney or in person.
The election committee adjourned until
noon to-day without aciion. The indications
are that the committee will divide on the
Carlisle case, the Republicans recormnening
a reopening of the case for testimony.
Blue ami Gray in Fraternal Meeting.
Jacksonville, Fla,, Jan. 9. —At the an
nual camp-fire of the local Grand Army post
Friday night, Maj. Gen. Schofield, U. S. A.,
made a patriotic and fraternal speech to the
assembled Federal and Confederate veterans,
and had a dramatic meeting with Gen. W. S.
Waller, of the Confederate army, who was
in the Mexican war with Schofield. Mrs.
Schofield is ill, and the general only remained
in the hall a short time.
said that if the case was decided against him,
he would go back to his shop and resume his
work, but he would not quit voting.
Mr. Sypher and Mr. Thoebe claimed that
on the night of the election Mr. Carlisle’s de
feat was so apparent that a conference of
his friends was held, and a decision reached
to hold back the returns until they could be
fixed up, so as to give him a majority. This
was done and done so boldiy and clumsily
that the returns themselves showed that
changes and interpolation had been made,
and made in the same handwriting in differ
ent precincts. The fraud was manifest.
Mr. Thoebe and his attorney charged that it
was notorious in the vicinity that friends of
Mr. Carlisle had induced the attorney origi
nally employed by Thoebe to neglect the
proper means of gathering evidence. Mr.
Sypher claimed to have affidavits in support
of his charges.
Mr. Sypher claimed that it was now the
manifest duty of the committee to do one of
three things. Forty days additional must be
allowed for Mr. Thoebe to collect evidence,
or the committee must go to the district to
investigate, or summon witnesses to Wash
ington to testify. The committee took a
recess until 1;:50. After recess, Mr. Sypher,
on behalf of Mr. Thoebe, presented in the
form of written resolutions the suggestions
outlined in his speech of the forenoon. He
said he preferred that the committee should
adopt the resolution appointing a select com
mittee to visit the contested election district
and report its findings to the house. The
committee at 1:45 went into secret session.
ITngentleinaiily Act of Mr. Chamberlain.
Washington, Jan. 7. —“The courteous at
tention paid by Democratic senators, while
Mr. Sherman was speaking on Wednesday,”
said Senator Voorhees this morning to a rep
resentative of the United Press, “was blit
little imitated by the Republicans when I
was speaking: but I would scarcely refer to
this lack, if it were not for an incident that
occurred late in the afternoon, I had been
speaking about an hour When laughter from
the Republican side attracted my attention,
followed hy Conversation in tones almost as
pronounced as my own. I raised my voice
80 as to atti act the attention of the disturb
ers, and the president quietly touched his
desk with the gavel. The noise ceased tem
porarily. It caused me no little regret later
to discover that this breech of the dignity of
the senate had been causetj by Mr. Chamber
lain, of England. I say regret, because had
I known that Mr. Chamberlain was the dis
turber, I would have said that if I were
forced to submit to the carelessness of my as
sociates of the senate chamber, I was not
bound to bear the bad manners brought from
over the sea by one who failed to appreciate
the privileges of the senate) floor. However,
I say it with renewed emphasis this morn
ing.”
Kentucky’s Ex-Governor in Washington.
Washington, Jan. (>. —The visit to Wash
ington of Go i nor Knott, of Kentucky, at
this time, is in the interest of ex-Representa
tive McKenzie, of the Blue Grass state, who
is an '•applicant for the Mexican mission,
which the dispatches from the weft say lias
been tendered to Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin.
THE FIFTIETH CONGRESS.
Proceedings of the House and Senate for
Wednesday.
In the senate a number of petitions
were presented and several bills intro
duced. Among the latter was one by
Mr. Brown, to abolish internal revenue taxa
tion. The senate took up the resolution for
the distribution of the president’s annual
message, and Mr. Sherman delivered
his tariff speech. He was followed by
Mi'. Voorhees and Mr. Teller. The pending
resolution was not referred. The Blair edu
cational bill was taken up, and at 3:50 p. m.
the senate adjourned, after five minutes of
executive session.
In the house the committees were not
ready, and bills were introduced and re
ferred, by unanimous consent, until 4:50 p.
m., when the house adjourned; 903 bills and
resolutions were introduced.
Thursday.
In the senate the president’s message on
territorial affairs was presented and referred
to the committee on Indian affairs. Bills
were reported from this committee, and a
number introduced by senators. Mr. Mitchell
and Mr. Dolph spoke in favor of a naval sta
tion on the Pacific coast. Mr. Reagan, of
Texas, opposed the educational bill. At 4:55
p. m. the senate went into executive session,
and at 5:10 p. m. adjourned until Monday.
In the house, bills were introduced until
the announcement of the committees, after
which an adjournment was taken at 1:10
p. in. until Monday next, to enable the com
mittees to organize.
ANOTHER KENTUCKY WAR.
An Old Feud Which Results in a Series
of Murders.
Catlettsburg, Ky., Jan. 11. —A crime
growing out of an old feud has been com
mitted on the Blackburr fork of Pond creek
in Pike county. The work is of the notorious
Hatfield gang. Five years ago iu an election
row three McCoy brothers fatally stabbed a
Hatfield. The latter’s relatives caught the
three tied them to a tree and shot
them to death. The war has been kept up
since, and the latest chapter has just been
heard from. A few nights ago the Hatfields
set fire to the house of Randall McCoy. His
eldest daughter, Alfara, Avas the first to open
the door, and by the light of her burning
home the innocent young girl was shot dead.
Her brother Calvin and her mother followed,
only, to perish in the same way.
The desperate and desolate father, Randall
McCoy, reckless of his own fate after this
slaughter of his innocent ones, dashed from
their funeral pyre into the midst of the mur
derous gang, unhurt by their volley of
bullets, and partially avenged lus wrongs by
killing one of the gang named Chambers by
a Avell directed bullet, and shot Cap Hatfield
in the shoulder. The rest of the cowardly
assassins fled. Rewards aggregating *3,700
are offered by the state of Kentucky for the
arrest of the Hatfields, but they are fortified
in the Avilds of West Virginia, and no one
cares to risk his life in pursuing them.
Already the blood of Mr. McCoy’s wife, a
fair young daughter and three sons has paid
the penalty for that one death five years ago.
Who can blame the half-crazed man if his
future desolate life shall be devoted to aveng
ing them.
A Florida Assassination.
Starke, Fla., Jan. 6. —G. C. Miller, a lead
ing politician, was assassinated here Monday
night by some unknown persons, Avho am
bushed him and poured a volley into him
from shotguns. With his dying breath he
charged LeAvis and Dolph Rieard with being
the principals and Harvey Rieard an ac
cessory. The coroner’s jury returned a ver
dict of death from gunshot wounds inflicted
by unknown persons. Last summer Miller
tried to kill J. D Rieard, his brother-in-law,
alleging that he had alienated his wife’s af
fections from him. A bitter quarrel resulted.
Lewis and Dolph are sons of J. C. Rieard and
Harvey is his brother.

Speaker Carlisle’s committees give very
general satisfaction. There are, of course,
some disappointments. This is usual. Even
the political opponents of Mr. Carlisle praise
him for the care he has exercised, and r -og
nized his most earnest endeavors to not only
satisfy those directly interested but render
the best possible satisfaction to the country.
There were many conflicting interests to be
considered in the formation of the commit
tees, and many members not only begged to
be place. 1 upon certain committees but re
fused in advance to serve if givyii assign
ments they did not like and which they
named.
It is believed that Mr. Carlisle has acted
very wisely, in view of the policies of his
party respecting tariff reform, appropria
tions, pensions, financial matters, territorial
interests, railroad, educational, labor and
other problems, which are pressing congress*
for action.
The speaker said last night that he was
never more completely exhausted from his
work, and that he felt greatly relieved now
that it was finished.
Most of the committees will meet today
and organize by the selection of sub-commit
tees, assignments of measures which have
already been referred, and will appoint
clerks, etc.
Members of the committee on ways and
means say they believe that hearings will be
granted on tariff matters, and that those
most interested will be given an opportunity
to present arguments verbally and written.
