Surety Bonds No Good.
The question of the right eoun
tov officials to make their bonds in
surety companies having arisen, At
torney General George W. Murphy
has given out the following:
“County officials are not permit
ted to make their bonds through the
medium of guarantee or surety com
panies. Art. 1!), sec. 21 of the con
stitution expressly forbids this, but
this section was subsequently amend
ed and the legislature given author
ity to pass a law of that kind, al
though it has never been done. The
sureties on such bonds must reside
in the county where the officer re
sides, and they must have sufficient
property therein, not exempt from
sale under attachment, execution or
otlier process, to make good their
bonds.” The section of the consti
tution cited by the attorney general
is as follows: “The sureties upon
the official bonds of all state officers
•shall be residents of and have suf
ficient property within the state not
exempt from sale under execution,
attachment or other process of any
court to make good their bonds; and
the sureties upon the official bonds
of all county officers shall reside
within the counties where such offi
cers reside, and shall have sufficient
property therein not exempt from
sale to make good their bonds.”
Injunction Case Reversed.
The United States Supreme Court
has reversed the celebrated injunc
tion case growing out of the impor
tation of negro labor in Western
Arkansas during the coal strike.
The case came up at Washington on
appeal from Judge Rogers of the
United States district court at Fort
Smith. Injunction proceedings to
restrain the mine operators from im
porting negro laborers were insti
tuted at the suggestion of Hon. Dan
W. Jones, governor at that time.
Circuit Judge Rowe granted the in
junction/- The case was then re
inovcd/to the United States court,
where Judge Rogers dissolved the
/on on the ground that it ui
te - ferefUwTtrr interstate commerce
and the fourteentli amendment.
An appeal was taken by the state to
the United States Supreme Court,
and the decision of that tribunal re
verses the decision of Judge Rogers
and remands the case for trial in
the state courts.

The proposed orphanage is to lie un

From statistics and certain changes in our

them being Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
This ideal medicine cures headache, sour

CURED BY ST. JACOBS OIL.
(Jnnble to Stand For Months Uecaaso
of Sprained Ankles.
(From the Cardiff Times.)
Among the thousands of voluntary en
dorsements of the great value of St. Ja
cobs Oil for sprains, stiffness, and soreness,
is that of Mrs. G. Thomas, 4 Alexandra
Road, Gelli, Ysbrod, near Pontypridd,
South Wales, who says:—
“It is with great pleasure that I add my
willing testimony to the invaluable excel
lence of your celebrated St. Jacobs Oil, as
experienced in my own case. 1 sprained
both my ankles in walking down some steps
so severely that I was unable to stand lor
several months. The pain 1 suffered was
most severe, and nothing that I used helped
me until 1 applied St. Jacobs Oil, when
they immediately became better daily, and
in a short time I was able to go about, and
soon after I was quite cured. 1 am now
determined to advise all persons suffering
from pains to use this wonderful remedy,
which did so much for me.”
Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as to
what treatment she pursued during the
months she was unable to stand, and dur
ing which time she was suffering so much,
but we venture to suggest that had she
called in any well known medical man he
would have at once have prescribed St. Ja
cobs Oil, for it has conquered pain upwards
of fifty years, and doctors know there is
nothing so good. The proprietors of St.
Jacobs Oil have been awarded twelve gold
medals by different international exhibi
tions as the premium pain-killing remedy of
the world. The committees who made the
awards were in each instance composed
largely of the most eminent medical men
obtainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did not
know the high opinion in which St. Ja
cobs Oil is held by almost every progressive
medical man.
A trood Tackle.
“Did I make a good tackle?” asked the

“Yes,” replied the nurse, “you bit off one

“Thank heavens!” murmured the football
player, lapsing again into unconsciousness.

Lydia Em Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound•
It will entirely cure the worst forms of Female Complaints, all Ova
rian troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration, Falling and Displacement
of the Womb, and consequent Spinal Weakness, and is peculiarly
adapted to the Change of Fife.
It has cured more cases of Backache and Leucorrhoea than any
other remedy the world has ever known. It is almost infallible in such
cases. It dissolves and expels tumors from the Uterus in an early stage
of development, and checks any tendency to cancerous humors.
Irregular, Suppressed or Painful lilenstruation. Weakness of the
Stomach, Indigestion, Bloating, Flooding, Nervous Prostration, Head
ache, General Debility quickly yields to it.
Womb troubles, causing pain, weight, and backache, instantly re
lieved and permanently cured by its use. Under all circumstances it
acts in harmony with the laws that govern the female system, and is as
harmless as water.
It quickly removes that Bearing-down Feeling, extreme lassi
tude, “don’t care” and “want-to-be-left-alone” feeling, excitability,
irritability, nervousness, Dizziness, Faintness, sleeplessness, flatulency,
melancholy or the “ blues,” and backache. These are sure indications
of Female Weakness, or some derangement of the Uterus, which this
medicine always cures.
Kidney Complaints and Backache of either sex the Vegetable
Compound always cures.
No other female medicine in the world has received such
widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine
has such a record of cures of female troubles.
Those women who refuse to accept anything else are re
warded a hundred thousand times, for they get what they want
—a cure. Sold by Druggists everywhere. Refuse all substitutes.
