Mr. McKinley and his fellow gold bugs, having dared to launch their gold standard measure, may now be expected to await the congratula- tious of their dear friends in Wall Street. Inis very evident that Secretary Koot’s report will stir up a hornet’s mest in the camp of the high protec- tionists who believe in shutting ev- erything out. There isa hot contest on in Ne- braska for the U.S. Senatorship, left wacant by the death of Mr. Hayward. The two candidates are ex-senator W. V. Allen and G. M.

Those who have used Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription do not suffer from the change of life either in face, form or feel- ings as do other women.
