Jury Is Expected to Complete the Telephone Inquiry Today On Monday the Prosecutors Will Commence Investigation of Over ;~- head Trolley Franchise Today's session of the Grand Jury Is expWted to complete the- investigation of the telephone briberies, which has occupied the attention of the inquisitors for the past three weeks, and on Mon day the inquiry into the bribery attend ing the granting of the overhead trol ley franchise to the United Railroads will be begun. Much evidence concern ing the matter has already been taken, and It is believed that the task of defi nitely fixing the blame for tire criminal acts of the street railway corporation will be much simpler than in the case of the two rival telephone companies. President Patrick C&lhoun of the United Railroads has been drawn Into the net of the prosecution, and several minor officials of the company have be come Implicated to a greater or less extent. The indictments resulting from the telephone i/iquiry will be sweep ing and will Include,, every official against whom the evidence Is believed to be sufficient to secure conviction, instead of being limited to a few of tho mo6t prominent. The indictments prob ably •tflll be voted Monday or .Tuesday, but may not be returned until several days later.

DR. PIERCES KE.MEDIK.S Nature's Way Is Best. The function strengthening and tissne building plan of treating chronic, linger- ing and obstinate cases of disease as pur- sued by Dr. Pierce, is following after Nature f s plan of restoring health. He uses natural remsdies, . that is extracts from native medicinal roots, prepared by processes wrought out by the expenditure of. much time and money, without the use of alcohol, and by skillful combination in just the right proportions. • Used as ingredients of Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. Black Cherry- bark, Queen's root, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot and Stone root, specially exert their influence In cases of lung, bronchial and throat troubles, and this "Discov- ebt" is, therefore,' a sovereign remedy for- bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs, catarrh and kindred ailments. The above native roots also have the strongest possible endorsement from the leading medical writers, of all the several schools of practice, for the cure not only of the diseases named above but also for indigestion, torpor of liver, or bilious- ness, obstinate constipation, kidney and bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter where located. \ You don't have" to take Dr. Pierces say-so alone as to this; what he claims for his "Discovery" is backed up by the writings of the most eminent men in the medical, profession. A request by postal card or letter, . addressed to Dr. K. V. Pierce, Buffalo, *,T., T . V., for a little book of extracts from eminent medical au- thorities endorsing the ingredients of his medicines, will bring a little book free that is worthy, of your, attention if needing a good, safe,irellable remedy of known composition for the cure of almost any old chronic, or lingering malady.
