I IKE AT HARRISBURG.
Harrisburg, Feb. iJ 1.—Fire de
stroyed an entire block, consisting
Thedford’s Black-Draught comes
nearer regulating the entire system
and keeping the body in health than
any other medicine made. It is
always ready in any emergency to
treat ailments that are frequent in
any family, such as indigestion,
biliousness, colds, diarrhoea, and
stomach aches.
Thedford’s Black-Draught is the
standard, never-failing remedy for
stomach, bowel, liver and kidney
troubles. It is a cure for the domes
tic ills which so frequently summon
the doctor. It is as good for children
as it is for grown persons. A dose of
this medicine every day will soon
cure the most obstinate case of dys
pepsia or constipation, and when
taken as directed brings quick relief.
Danville, 111., Dec. 23,1902.
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been our
family doctor for five years and we want
no other. When any of us feel badly we
take a dose and are all right in twelve
hours. We have spent lots of money for
doctor bills, but get along just as well
with Black-Draught. mA H. 1IADKK.
Ask your dealer for a package of
Thedford’s Black-Draught and if he
does not keep it send25c. to The Chatta
nooga Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Tenn.
and a package will be mailed to you.

at a late hour Sunday night. The
fire was first discovered in the
building occupied by (). B. Wade
as a pooi room, spreading rapidly
until the entire block was a sheet
of flames.
The sentiment of the communi
ty is very strong against the guilty
parties, as it is thought by all that
tin* blaze was of incendiary origin.
An attempt was made some three
weeks ago to burn the same prop-!

parents are both deaf. We wish

FOR STATE DEPOSITORIES
Senator Hinkle Has Introduced at
Bill That Will Increase the
State’s Funds.
Senator John A. Hinkle lias in
troduced a lull in the legislature
providing for the selection of state
depositories from among twenty
banks in the state, in which shall
be deposited all the state funds on
t'ne receipt of bids for payment of
interest on the daily balances.
In discussing the measure Sena
tor Hinkle said:
“I cannot possibly see how any
one can oppose the bill, with the
ample restrictions that are thrown,
around the safety of the state’s
money. The banks are not only
required to give bond for 25 per
cent of the deposits placed with
them, but they must deposit with
the state treasurer, dollar for dol
lar, bonds of the United States for
every dollar deposited with them
by the treasurer. It is estimated
that the receipts to the state from
interest under this bill will not fall
below $50,000 to $00,000 a year,
even if interest at a rate not high
er than 3 per cent on the daily bal
ances is paid by the banks that
may be selected. I received a let
ter today from Hon. J. F. Gamal
ieh, state treasurer of Missouri,
on this subject. He writes me
that the law has teen in operation
in that state for several years, and
on the first of the month a new
j contract was entered into with cer
tain banking institutions of the
state to last for four years. The
interest allowed there on the daily
balance is 3 per cent, and in his
letter he said that the state will
i not receive less than $150,000 as
interest for the years 1905-1900.
This is certainly worth having,
and as to the safety of the state
funds, if anyone can conceive of
anything by way of security any
better than United States bonds, £
shall be glad to adopt his plan.”
