"Some time ainco I took n sudden cold
and could not get rid of It. Being subject
to catarrh and bronchial trou ble I coughed
terribly. I lost my appetite and grew
poor and weak and I did not feel llko
work. I began taking Hood's Sorsapa
rllla. In a short tlmo tho cough disap
peared, I slept well, had a good appctlto
and I was bettor In every way. Last
spring I was not feeling well, I had no ap
potlto and no strength. I resorted to
Hood's Sarsaparlllit and soon felt mora
like work. My llttlo nephew was a deli
cate child and had a humor which trou
bled him so ho could not rest at night.
He has taken a few bottles of Hood's Bar-
aaparllla and now ho has a good appctlto
and Is able to sleep." Miss AnniB J.

Ho is a callous man, indeed, who can

winning of victory after victory, with

Although there Is considerable out
side speculation ns to Germany's in
tentions in the Philippines, President
McKlnloy nnd Secretary Day stated at
a cabinet meeting thnt they had re
ceived official assurances dlrecl from
tho government of Gernmuy that no
interference with American plans in
the Philippines had been even thought
of. Tho revival of the old European
htorj that Germany, Franco nnd Bus
sin had formed a combination to head
off tho United States aud Great Britain
In tho Philippines, is uot attracting
any special attention iu Washington,
for tug very slmplo reason that nobody
believes It.

tho successlul uso of a balloon by Gen.

Further than a temporary shortage
of stumps in tho largo cities, tho causes
of complaint mado to tho treasury do
partino.ut about tho now tax law, which
Tho annexation of Hawaii is insight;
likewise the adjournment of congress.
It was hoped by tho friends of annex
ation that tho president could have
signed the iooluilnii for tho annex
ation of Hawaii on Independence Day
so that our lellow citizens to be, on tho
island-! would have been given nu ad
ditional reason for joining with us iu
celebrating our gi cutest national holi
day for all time, but the senators iu
charge of tho resolution concluded
that it would bo wiser not to add to
tho dying ngonies of tho untis by push
ing It to a vote, knowing thnt a vote
would come wuiinut any pushing in a
few dnys. Tho resolution will prob
ably lio adopted by the senato during
tho present week, nnd thu adjournment
of congress will follow very closely,
unless something now turns up to in
terfere with the carrying out of tho
present program.
