VIEWS OP THE MEN WED SPOKE Jchnson Comes Out in Opposition and Accuses the Republicans ofln cincerity Other Doings Sprnlgfleld. Ills., March 12. The civ il service bill was taken up immediate ly after the introduction of bills In the house yesterday and the speaker an nounced that the pendiug motion was that made on Tuesday by Shurtleff, to strike out the enacting clause of the bill. lie said that if the bill was faulty it oucht to be changed. He did not think It ought to be killed here at this time, and esieciullly so when the opportunity was ripe for changing it aud Improving.its provsions. k ItlDBkarand Sbnrtl.fr Talk. . Ripaker mnde a strong plea for post ponement of further consideration of the hill until, next, Tuesday. He said that he did not believe this important measure has leen sufficiently and fair ly 'considered. SlmrtlcfT, who mndc the motion to, strike out the enacting clause, said that, he had done so after some fifteen or twenty amendments had been offered and considered, and that at the time he believed and was still of the opinion that the house did not want to consume any further time in discussing this bill. He was in favor of a merit system which would apply to the suicrintendents ami trustees of the instlutions. but was strongly op posed to the bill under consideration. I.tDdly Favor ihe Meanare. Tdndly (Rep.) spoke in support of the pending bill. He denied Stewart's statement that men elected to public olfice are? subject to the dictation of losses and machines He said that ev ery candidate for an office, no matter what his party was, was anxious to have a stronger machine than the op posing candidate. "They have referred to the 5 per cent slush fund," snjd liindly. "I tell you that so far as that Is com-erned I believe the men who hold the offices should help support the party that gave them their posi tions. I Applause. The projiosition that Itecause a man holds an office he should not contribute to his party Is all foolishness." VOICES A DEMOCRATIC VIEW J oil n sua RnfuaM to Itellevo the Republic ni Sincere Vote Taken. Johnson, from the Democratic side of the house, then took the floor and made an extendinl speech In opiosition to the bill, in which be again reiterated his charge that lotli factions on the other side of the house were "four-" flushing." and that the speeches upon the subject within the last two days had borne him out in his charge. "It Is Indeed refreshing." said Johnson, "to see the gentleman from Ttoml ILnidly, who has fed upon the fod der from the Republican party for lo! these many years, come in here and ask in the name of high heaven that yon pass a civil service bill, when he has been instrumental under his 'ac cidency, the governor. In tiling fhe state institutions from cellar to garret with Republicans who are ready to do nate their mite to the slush fund, e "It is indeed refreshing when the gen tleman from McIXonough Shermanl stands here and pleads eloquently for something that may help his case in the future, for no other purpose than to iKiin advantage under the name of civil service reform. It is indeed very refreshing to see the only representa tive of the Prohibition party In this house arise in his seat and berate the Democrats for remainng silent and de mand that they stand on their party platform. We have listened to all this until silence ceases to be a virtue. You have a bill here that has not a sem blance of civil service reform in it. and you know it." Continuing Johnson said that he wa opposed to this bill and to all other bills of this character. He believed In holding the party in power res-ponsible for the state govern ment. "I believe," said he "In that old Jacksonian principle that to the victor belong the spoils." Applause.. Ttoo motions to iwstpoue one by Rinaker and one by Schlagennauf were then voted an and both defeated.

"When 1 had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) 1 actual ly cured myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," says Frank W. Terry, editor of the Enter prise, Shortsvil'le, X. Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a tcaspoonful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest inter val the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I bad never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Crip had bid me adieu."

I finally tried Detchon's Mystic Cure for Rheu matism, and in four days could walk without my cane; two liottles cured me soun d and well. I take great pleasure in recommending the Mystic Cure to all who are afflicted with rheumatism."

All druggists, ioc A Chance For Life. A CRY OF WARNING AND OF HOPE. History repeats itself. When the first dam burst or reservoir wall gave way and the man on horseback sped down the valley with the alarm, he was doing exactly what would be done under the same circumstances genera tion after generation. He was giving the people in the line of the flood a chance for life. The man or woman who in some sud den peril has been plunged in the en gulfing wave, or caught in an upper chamber of a burning house; these know how all of present and future can be Withered into that brief sentence, A chance for life." There is another class of people, those in danger from disease, who understand how much lies in those few words. There are men and women living to-day in healthy, active enjoyment of life who can look back to the time when they were weak and emaciated, coughing un til the blood trickled over their lips, see ing no hope of escape from that dread disease consumption. But a chance for life came to them nd they took it. "I feel very grateful for the home treatment given me by the World's Dis pensary Medical Association," writes Mr. X. J. F. Brown, of Sands, Watauga Co., N. C. "I had catarrh for several years, then took grip, also had hemorrhage from the lungs. I had the best medical attention, but only to bring partial re lief. I got up for a few months, but had more hemorrhages. I took Dr. K 's Discovery vtwenty-five or thirty bottles), but in a few months I had more spells of bleeding. I wrote to Dr. Pierce and re ceived directions what kind of medicine to use; I commenced taking his Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Sage's Ca tarrh Remedy. I had only taken one bottle when I could see I was improving. I used five bottles of the Discovery' and three bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem edy. I have been able to do any kind of labor for more than twelve months. Well, I just simply owe mj life to the World's Dispensary Medical Association." A CHANCK FOR BVERY ONE. Arguing from the cures effected by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery, there's a good chance of recov ery for every one who suffers with weak lungs, obstinate cough, bronchitis and other forms of disease which if neglected or unskilfully treated find a fatal termi nation in consumption. What the chance of recovery is may be determined by the fact that of the thousands of per JZLglaku. it (Tidy Q f foh- Harper House 4 MaJke Money Soxithwest THE GRKAT SOUTHWEST IS THE REST PLACE TODAY FOR A HUSTLER TO MAKE MONEY IN.

In severe cases of pulmonary disease "Golden Medical Dis covery" has worked wonders. It ha come to the sick man or woman as a last resort. The breath came in gasps; the cough was deep,and distressing, there were hemorrhages, night-sweats, emacia tion and great weakness. The doctor in many cases had gone his way saying "There's nothing more to be done." Then Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery was used and the cure began. The cough disappeared. The hemor rhages ceased. Flesh was put on. And the once hopeless sufferer was at length restored to the activities of labor and the enjoyment of life. Thousands wit ness to these facts and these witnesses know whereof they speak because they are men and women who testify that they owe their lives to Golden Medical Dis covery," and Dr. Pierce. "My husband had been coughing for years and people frankly told me that he would go into consumption," writes Mrs. John Shireman, of No. 265 25th Place, Chicago, Ills. Had such terrible cough ing spells, we not only grew much alarmed, but looked for the bursting of a blood-vessel or hemor rhage at almost any time. After three days' coughing he was too weak to cross the room. The doctor did him no good. I stated the case to a druggist, who handed me a bottLe of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. My husband's recovery was remarkable. 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 cared him." WHAT WOULD IT COST to consult the ordinary specialist In disease? More in most cases than the average person has to spend in fees. Yet persons suffering from chronic diseases are invited to consult an extra' ordinary Specialist by letter, free. Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids Hotel and Surgical In stitute, Buffalo, N. Y., is an extraordin ary specialist. He is extraordinary in an unbroken experience in the treatment and cure of disease which extends over thirty yeass. He is extraordinary in his success : 9S per cent, of those he has treated being absolutely and entirely cured. He is extraordinary in that he puts at the disposal of correspondents not only bis own services but the ser vices of his medical staff numbering nearly a score of qualified physicians. There is no other offer of free medical advice which has behind it so renowned an Institution as the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, or such a successful specialist as Dr. rierce. Write in confi dence to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo. N. Y. Do not accept any substitute for " Gold en Medical Discovery." The medicine that dealers sometimes offer as "just as good" as Dr. Pierce's is not the medi cine which has cured the thousands who testify that when all other medicines failed- Golden Medical Discovery" re stored them to perfect and permanent health.
