The general opinion aeema to be that a total prohibition of discharging fixe arms on the public high­ ways, and the imposition of an annual special tax on guns are features that most be embodied in any measure whose object is to abate the nuisance. P&.jQtnBBir VICTORIA'S LAST WISH. ^>1-'; That Is ft very pretty story which is . told about the prince of Wales and the 1 emperor of Germany Queen Victoria s ?"*' ' eon and grandson--kneeling at the bed- ., «|de of the dying sovereign and taking | an oath, at her request, to do all in their power to reign in peace and never to al­ low England and Germany to clash. The Minneapolis Tribune expresses an earnest hope that this story is true, say­ ing that the emperor is a very religious man, and the prince--now King Edward VIL--is a man of honor, and the pre sumption is that if they took such an oath in the august presence of death they would keep it. If England and Germany are pledged to keep the peaoe of Europe, and will faithfully live up to that pledge, the peace will be kept. Great Britain is all- powerful on the sea, and Germany is ir­ resistible on the land. The two. by throwing their combined weight into the scale, could compel any other two belligerent powers to come to an agree­ ment. And united with the United States, England and Germany could enforce the peace of the world. No other com­ bination of powere would dare to fire gun if these three great military and naval nations should command arbitra­ tion. If the queen, in her dying moments, effected an alliance of Great Britain and Germany for the abolition of war, her final service to mankind was the most important of all her many good actions, Of course the command of the queen did not apply to war waged by a nation to bring its rebellious subjects into sub­ jection, but to war between independent nations. The right of self-preservation is involved in the right to put down an insurrection. No modern state could hold together if its different political or geographical divisions were permitted to cast off the central authority at will Nor will it be possible to avoid war with the barbarous and uncivilized na­ tions until they are brought up to the higher standard. In China, for in­ stance, a nerveless and irresponsible government has shown itself powerless to protect either its own citizens or for aign residents, and has violated sacred international obligations. Such a "t tion of people needs to be disciplined, and if the work is taken in hand by the combined civilized powers, the reform and reg?n««ion can be accomplished more expeditiously and with the mini mum loss of life and waste of resources Queen Victoria's most earnest aspira- jlton was for peace, and yet she was des- , tin#d to go down to her grave grieved to tike heart over the regrettable war in which her country was engaged.

I suffered a great deal of pain Mid a little over two years ago my nerves gave out and I could neither eat nor sleep. Medicine seemed to have no effect, although I tried different phy­ sicians and tonics. Finally some ad­ vised me to try Dr. Tallerday's Pain Tablets, to see if they would ease the pain and thus enable me to sleep. I tried them and from the first they helped me, and have taken them for the past two years, always being benefitted and never feeling any ill effects from. Have always taken the tablets for severe headache, to which I am subject and have been greatly helped, besides exper­ iencing no bad effect after, so apt to fol­ low the use of powerful headache reme­ dies. I feel that too much can not he said in favor of the Tablets. MRS. GBO. VICKKBS, 423 E. Madison St., Belvidere, 111. _ Ney, HL, Nov. 5, 1900.
