1 HE DAILY FBBB ntered at P. O. u second class mail matter. W. S. HERBERT. Editor and Prop'r. "Nations are led astray by a deceptive idea of glory and honor. The United States have lately offered a pitiable ex ample of that. A civilized land has been plunged into war by the criminal ugita tionof brainless demagogues and the incapacity of rulers. The United States have sinned against humanity and civilization." Professor Virchow, of Berlin. The British have met with severe reverses in South Africa, and from almost every country goes up the cry that Eng land is not the lion she has been reputed to be. We would be glad to see peace in South Africa. We would be pleased for the Boers to retain their freedom. Yet we do not rejoice at England's misfor tune, for the reason that though cove tous, it is a grand and noble nation. England has been in t'ght places be fore and has come out on top in the long run. England makes u glorious, and generally successful, up-hill fight. We expect to see her recover the ground she has lost and yet come out of the present struggle with flying colorn. We confess to divided yntpathics in the struggle. The Boers are, it seems, in the right in defending their homes, and thi'y are doing it bravely and suc cessfully so far. Yet we have a tender feeling towards our kinspeople, the English. . . Coatlr Iisona. "What's that there young man's business?" asked Mr. Parvenu. "He's a tutor, I believe," replied his wife.

So-called "hone- less" cases, chronic cases, "incurable" cases have all been cured, not once or twice, but thousands of times, by the use of that remarkable remedy Dr. Pierce's Golden Hedical Discovery. "My husband had been coughing for years and people frankly told me that he would go Into consumption." writes Mrs. John Shiretnan, of No. 965 25th Place, Chicago, Ills. "In the spring of 1888 he took measles. Re caught cold, the measles then settling on his lungs, causing such terrible coughing spells, we not only grew much alarmed, but looked for the bursting of a blood vessel or a hemorrhage at almost any time. After three days' coughing he was too weak too cross t he room. The doctor who lived with us on the same floor did him no good. I went to the other end of the town and stated the case to a druggist, who then handed me a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. My husband's recovery was remarkable in its speed. In three days after he began using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery he was up and around and in two more days he went to work. Two bottles cured him." Sick people are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter absolutely free of charge. Every letter is treated as strictly private and sacredly confidential.
