Ayer's Pills
Are better known and more general
ly used than any other cathartic.
Sugar-coated, purely vegetable, and
free from mercury or any other inju
rious drug, this is the ideal family
medicine. Though prompt and ener
getic in their action, the use of these
pills is attended with only the best
results. Their effect is to strengthen
and regulate the organic' functions,
being especially beneficial in the
various derangements of the stom
ach, liver, and bowels.
Ayer's Pills
are recommended by all the leading
physicians and druggists, as the
most prompt and effective remedy
for biliousness, nausea, costiveness,
indigestion, sluggishness of the
liver, jaundice, drowsiness, pain in
the side, and sick headache also,
to relieve colds, fevers, neuralgia,
and rheumatism. They are taken
with great benefit in chills and the
diseases peculiar to the South. For
travelers, whether by land or sea,
Ayer's Pills
are the best, and should never be
omitted in the outfit. To preserve
their medicinal integrity in all cli
mates, they are put up in bottles as
well as boxes.
"I have used Ayer's Pills in my
family for several years, and always
found them to be a mild and excel
lent purgative, having a good effect
on the liver. It is the best pill used."

WORLD'S FAIR GROUNDS, May 28.—
One hundred and twenty-five thousand
people, after a week of toil, came to the
world's fair grounds Sunday and with
souls freed from care drank in inspiring
music and feasted their eyes upon the
artistic and natural beauties cf the
White City, while their minds were im
proved by studying the works of genius
and industry. It was the first open
Sunday and was a success.
The people began coming into the
grounds early. All means of transpor
tation brought their quotas and from
the steamer piers and the railroads came
long lines of people and by 4 o'clock at
least 90,000 were in the enclosure. After
dark the grounds were lighted up and
this together with other
Features of the Illumination
attracted still more and when the
crowds were about ready to go home, a
conservative estimate placed their num
ber for the day and evening at 125,000.
It was an orderly, well dressed crowd
which evidently was of the opinion
that it had already been kept away
from its property altogether too long
and they took possession in the name of
the "toiler." The music during the
day was of the elevating character and
the bandsstands were surrounded by
large crowds.
Some State Buildings Closed. A
Sunday opening was frowned upon,
however, in the north end of the park,
where the American state buildings are
grouped. The multitude of visitors did
not throng the state circle and the few
thousands who passed that way were
not disappointed, apparently, to find
many of the buildings closed. Missouri,
Delaware, New York. Virginia, West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Dakota,
New Hampshire. Rhode Island, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland and
Massachusetts were among the build
ings which the people obtained only an
outside view of. Utah had the closed
sign on its door, and North Dakota
added to its announcement the invita
tion "Come on Monday."

World's Fair Commissioners Appeal
to Transportation Companies.
CHICAGO, May 29.—At a meeting of
executive officers and commissioners of
the several states and territories, held
Wednesday last at the Massachusetts
building, a committee of five members,
consisting of Havens of Indiana, Mc
Naughton of New York, Apperson of
Virginia, Hovey of Massachusetts and
McDaniel of Utah, was appointed to
draft an appeal to the railroad and
steamboat corporations, asking that
fares on the different lines to and from
Chicago be reduced immediately.
At an adjourned meeting held Satur
day afternoon at the New York build
ing, the committee submitted drafts of
a letter, which is to be signed by the
executive officers and addressed to the
managers of the various railroad and
steamboat lines, which was unanimous
ly approved and will be sent to offi
cers of the corporations referred to at
once.
This appeal is made on behalf of the
people of the country, but especially in
the interest of farmers, mechanics, em
ployes, pupils, etc.
GROUNDS ORDERED OPEN.
Injunction Restraining Fair Direc
tors From Closing on Sunday.
CHICAGO, May 30.—In the legal pro
ceedings brought against the world's
fair directory to compel an open Sun
day and to restrain public admission on
that day, the former gained the first
victory. Judge Stein issued a tem
porary injunction restraining the direc
tors from closing tho gates on Sunday.
His ruling was made in accordance
with the prayer of a bill filed by Charles
W. X!lingman on behalf of himself as a
stockholder in the Exposition company
and as a citizen.
Judge Stein's Decision.
The decision holds in substance that
the park commissioners had no power
to concede to a corporation more than
the usufruct of the South park ground.
The contention of the intervening peti
tioner, C. H. Howard, that to open the
fair on Sunday is against the law of
the land and the act of congress of
April 25, 1890, is dismissed- with the
statement that it has not been proven
that there is anything in that act which
overthrows any of the existing laws of
the State of Illinois, and the laws of
Illinois are not affected.
xhree Hundred Men Laid Oft.
MASON CITY, la., May 80.—Three
hundred employes on the Iowa and Da
kota division of the Chicago, Milwaukee
an&iSt. P&ul road, including mainly
roadmen* have been laid off. Dullness
in freight traffic is theattribnted cause.

CHICAGO, May 80.—The proposed

tralia and Austin Gibbons before the
{'Crescent Cny Athletic club is off.

Arguments Begun in the Celebrated
Briggs Case.
WASHINGTON, May 30.—The greatest
ecclesiastical trial of modern times, as
it is termed, was begun during the day
in the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church, when Dr. Briggs, the Union
seminary professor, faced his accusers
and his 500 judges. The general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church in
the United States sat as a high court.
The court represented nearly 1,000,000
Presbyterians in this country, who rec
ognize the supreme authority of the
general assembly in ecclesiastical mat
ters. The issue is one which a large
portion of the the church and a large
majority of the general assembly evi
dently regard as one of the gravest that
has ever arisen in the church. To their
minds the
Most Serious Consequences
will ensue if the church does not,
through its highest authority, pro
nounce anathema against Dr. Briggs,
who is accused of denying the iner
rancy of Holy Scripture and teaching
as true doctrines which they consider
contradictory of scripture and of the
confession of faith to which he sub
scribed when he was ordained as a min
ister. There was a large attendance at
the church, people crowding into the
galleries and even encroaching on the
space set aside for the commissioners.
The proceedings, however, were not at
all lively, for the arguments made were
exceedingly formal in character. The
principal argument for the prosecution
was made by Rev. Joseph J. Lampe, D.
D., who finished in the afternoon, hav
ing Bpoken three hours and a quarter.
Professor Briggs then began his answer,
to which seven hours had been allotted,
and continued it at the evening session.
At the conclusion of the latter's argu
ment Colonel McCook will close for the
prosecution.
Briggs Has an Ambition.
CLEVELAND, May 30.—A dispatch
from Cincinnati fays that Professor
Briggs, now on trial at Washington for
heresy, has written to Professor E. D.
Morris of Lane Theological seminary
about the advisability of forming a
new church to teach his theology. |£or
ris replied, saying that few Presbyterian
ministers would join the new depar
ture. Four liberal Presbyterians of
Cincinnati have gone to Washington to
confer with Dr. Briggs and assist in
promoting the new project.
Baptist Home Missions.
DENVER, May 30.—The 61st annual
meetingjof the Baptist Home Mission
ary society convened in the First Bap
tist church here during the morning.
Committees were announced, after
which the report of the board was read
by the Rev. H. L. Morehouse, D. D. It
showed the society to be free of debt,
but a need for greater funds to suc
cessfully push forward the increasing
work. In 1892 there had been an in
crease of 19 missionaries, 8 schools, 130
churches organized and $113,356.56 con
tributed during the year.
THE IRON HALL.
An Address to Members of the Order
Mailed.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 30.—The address
to members of the Iron Hall prepared
by the new officers has been mailed.
It says the law has been ,so revised as
to provide proper safeguards for the
funds collected from the membership,
and a number of recommendations have
been adopted for a thorough revision of
the constitution and laws of the order
to be presented for action at the session
of the order of the supreme sitting to
be^convened in July. The supreme
justice will no longer have absolute
control as in the past. The order now
has assets aggregating $2,250,000 in the
various states. It has a membership of
62,000.
LAW DEFECTIVE.
A New York Judge Finds a Good
Sized Flaw in the Geary Statute.
WASHINGTON, May 26.—-As the.result
of District Attorney Milchrist's cpn
sultation with Attorney General Olney
he took away with him explicit instruc
tions, if he finds on his arrival in Chi
cago that the commission still adhered
to its decision to open the world's fair
next Sunday, to present the matter to
the federal court and ask for an injunc
tion or any other legal process which
the facts would warrant, and which
would prevent a violation of the laws
of the United States."
CHOLERA AT HAMBURG.
Two Fatal Cases of the Disease Offi
cially Reported.
I QUARANTINE, May 29.—Dr. Nash, the
representative of Dr. Jenkins in Ham
burg, reports by cable that there was
one death from cholera in that city
Sunday.

MING REVERSED.
NEW DECISION PROMULGATED
BY SECRETARY SMITH.
Disability Not of Service Origin Must
Be Such as to Prevent the Applicant
From Earning Support by Manual
Labyr—Will Save Millions.
WASHINGTON, May 27.—Secretary
Hoke Smith has just made a decision
repealing Raum. and Bussey's order
construing "disability not of service
origin" so as to limit it to disabilities
preventing the applicant from earning
support by manual labor.
It is believed this will reduce pension
payments from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000
annually.
INCOMING IMMIGRANTS.
Important Rules Affecting the Cana
dian Pacific and Great Northern.
WASHINGTON, May 29.—The treasury
department has issued an important set
of rules relating to incoming immi
grants over Canadian roads entering
this country. No immigrant will be
allowed to enter after 7 o'clock in the
evening, for the reason that the worst
class haB been in the habit of coming
over after night, when rigid inspection
was relaxed a»d tbe inspectors were off
duty or asleep. The big roads, like the
^Canadian Pacific with its through con
nections, with the Soo line, and the
Great ,Northern with its Canadian Pa
cific Connections in Minnesota and
North Dakota, will be compelled to run
special, trains upon which all the immi
grants are carried. None of the regu
lar passenger trains will be allowed to
carry immigrants, and a penalty will
be provided for violation of this provis
ion.
Extra Session Talk.
WASHINGTON, May 29.—It is said on
most excellent authority that the presi
dent is likely to issue a proclamation
withiri a short period setting the date
for an extra session of congress.
FOSTER FAILS.
The Ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Makes an Assignment.
FOSTORIA, O., May 27.—Ex-Secretary
of the Treasury Charles W. Foster has
startled the business world by making
an assignment of his vast business in
terests i&r the benefit of his .creditors.
His aei^E^M is'J .^. Gormlee, a prom
inent
friend of Mr. Foster. The liabilities
are given .out by Mr. Foster as being
$6u0,000. and the assets about the same.
The failure is due to the fact that Mr.
Foster has been a very heavy endorser
of the three assigned windowglass
houses and the brass and iron works,
his indorsements of these companies
aggregating over $300,000. The strin
gency of the money market caused
banks to request payment of the notes,
which precipitated the failure.
Worse Than First Reported.
FOSTORIA, O.. May 29.—J. B. Gorm
ley, the assignee of ex-Secretary Charles
Foster, states that further investigation
shows affairs to be in even worse shape
than had been at first thought, and that
the liabilities would reach $800,000 and
possibly $1,000,000, with the assets
much less.
BANKS CLOSED.
National of North Dakota at Fargo
and a Branch at Lakato.
FARGO, N. D.,May 30.—The National
Bank of North Dakota was closed by
the order of Bank Examiner Diamond.
E. Ashley Mears is president The
capital is $250,000. The failure will not
affect any business firms in Fargo, as it
has been known for some time that the
bank was in shallow water.
LAKOTA, N. D., May 31.—The First
National Bank of Lakota has been
closed by Bank Examiner Brush on
order of the comptroller of the cur
rency. The bank has been under sus

system of banks in this state.
Bank of Bresford Fails.
BRESFORD, S. D. May 30.—The Bank
of Bresford, a private concern at the

Costly Blow for Sullivan.
NEW YORK, May 27.—The Sun's Bid
