What happened to this physician may have

PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the
Capsulas will CONTINUE TO Do so. for
they contain the PURE OIL in the BEST
AND CHEAPEST form.

no other medicine can this result be had.

Mr.. WINNERS LETTER.

Last week, ln the Gazette and Denlo-
crat we noticed long -winded article
from Mr.. Sebastian WINNER, candidate
for Legislative honors.
The letter in question is far above
the level of ordinary minds, and even
in the very beginning, seeks to make
the impression that the writer is man
of vast importance.
The long lingo of long words at the
onset stamps the writer, as an egotist
of far more importance to himself than
other men will ever give him credit for.
With this letter before us we are not
surprised that MIR. WINNER should have
wondered that so good a man as he
should have any opposition at all.
Mr.. WINNER has been charged with
being a railroad man, and he seeks by
writing column and quarter, to the
papers above named. to deny the charge.
And he fails, and in the course of his
letter remarks that he is a railroad man,
but that the people of Elk county want
Just such a man to represent them, and
that his policy is to uphold the rights
of the people, should they elect him.
He, in "glittering generalities" tries to
pull the wool over the eyes Of the voters,
so that he may rise to the position, h e
covets.
We ask all fair-minded men to give
this letter a careful perusal and then
Judge if Mr.. WINNER has denied any
charges made against him. You may
also notice, if you please, in the letter
he complains that he has been charged
with being a nonresident of St. Mary's,
and denies it by saying that he has
made St. Mary's his home since June
SO, barring aJeU years spent in Mexico,
etc., and that he has always been in the
employee of railroad companies, and, We
presume, the most of the time away from
St. Mary's. His term of residence In
St. Mary's however, We consider CT very
little importance, although we have
had scores OF meu ask us, who is Mr.
WINNER?
We find nothing whatever in this let
letter to answer, and we only call atten
tion to it that more people. may think oi
and read it, for we know unless SOM
extra efforts are made in the letters be
half, dozen men in Ell, county wo ul'
comprise the pumber who will read it
Now in conclusion We wish to. ask tn
question can we afford to trust the in
terests of Elk county in the hands OF
man who is, by his own acknowledge
ment, a railroad man, and who has no
liyed long enough in our country t
know what our wants, are and'who trie
to stand with "freezing dignity" abov
the common class? We will answer :h
question and say no, emphatically N
But we do want man who is, tn
people, and in common with ourselve
has a deep interest in our welfare, an
who from a residence of thirty-fv
years in our midst knows precisely wha
the needs of our country are aud VII
will faithfully guard our interests; sue
man we all know D. G. Oyster to b
and we ask the voters to consider We
before they east their votes on the B
day of. November next.

Lice on Cattle.

THE North British AgrtcuLturtst, in an
article on vermin on cattle, gives some
suggestions as how to treat the pest. 1t
would take time by the foretop, and on the
slightest indication Of their presence
make prompt examination, and if lice
are detected apply remedy. It'll useless
to wait until the unfortunate wretch has
removed the hair from his own skin and
spread his tormentors among his fellows
The pediculi, or lice, of which almost
every animal has its own peculiar species,
are not difficult to kill. A good scrubbing
with soft soap and water will remove
them Linseed or any other oil prevents
their migrating, and destroys them; but
the efficacy of the oil is increased when to
every pint is added an ounce of impure
carbolic acid, or of Burnetts zinc cholo.
ride solution Decoctions of tobacco and
stavesacre also poison the vcrmin, an
ounce to the pint of water being generally
used. Where the animals have been
much infested, second dressing should
take place about week after the first,
and brushing cleanliness, and usually a
more liberal dietry also enjoyed.

crush the power of an enemy before IL

stroy the eggs, or prevent their being de-
posted in the onion fields, we are at
once rid of the enemy.
Having noticed some of the habits OF
the onion fly, am inclined to the opinion
that they select as far as possible, par
TALLY decomposed onion tops in which TO
deposit their eggs. When onion tops
and solutions are allowed to decay upon
the surface Of the ground, in process OF
time they become natural breeding bed
and attract flies from the surrounding
country in larger numbers than can be
accommodated by those beds. They next
attack the weaker plants, and sometimes
those which are making a strong, Iuxuri
ant growth, to puncture and deposit their
eggs in the stalk. If the weather is

the orion field late in the autumn, dress
literally with well-fined manure, leaving
1t upon the surface exposed to the anne

and the drenching rains of springtime;
sow early in thoroughly pulverized
ground, and attend carefully to the after
culture. With this treatment the crop
usually gets an early start, makes Wig

And broadly slopes one pain OF rays
Within the barn, and makes IL glow.

Shows his round shape; faint color coats
The manger, where the farmer pours,
With rustling rush, the glancing oats.
sup-haze streaks the dusky shed;
Makes spears of seams and gems of chinks;
Tn notified gloss the straw Is spread;
And the gray grindstone duly blinks.
THE snn salutes the lowest west
With gorgeous tnts around it drawn;
beacon on the mountains breast,
A crescent, shred, q star--and gone.
The landscape now prepares for plight;
A gauzy mist slow settles round;
Eve shows her hues in every sight,
And blends her voice with every sound.
The sheep stream ripping down the dell,
Their smooth, sharp faces pointed straight;
The pacing kline, with tlnklng Deli,
Gene grazing through the pasture-gate.
The ducks are grouped, and talk in fits:
one yawns with stretch of leg and wing;
One rears and fans, then, settling, sits;
One at a moth makes awkward spring.
The geese march grave in Indian file,
The ragged patriarch at the head;
Then screaming, futter of awhile,
Fold up, and once more stately tread.
Braye chanticleer shows haughtiest air;
Hnrls his shrill yaunt with lofty bend;
Lifts foot. glares round, then follows where
His scratching, picking partlets wend.
staid Towser scents the glittering ground;
Then yawning, draws crescent deep,
Wheels his head-drooping frame around
And sinks with fore-paws stretched for sleep.

Rest BY the pear-tree's crooked Trunk;
Tim standing with yoke-burdened brow,
Trim, in mound beside him sunk.
One of the kline upon the bank
Heayes her face-lifting, wheeZy roar;
One smooths with tapping tongue, her flank;
With ponderous droop one finds the floor.
Freed Dobbin through the soft clear dark
Gimmers across the pillared scene,
With the grouped geese-a pallid mark
And scattered bushes black between.
The fire-hies freckle every spot
With tickle light that CLEANS and dies;
The bat, wayering, soundless blot,
The cat pair OF proving eyes.
Still the sweet, fragrant dark o'erfows,
The deepening air and darkenng ground;
By its rich scent trace the rose,
The yiewless beetle by It's sound.
The cricket scrapes it's rib-like bars;
The tree-toad purrs in whirring tone;
And now the heavens are set with stars,
And night and quiet reign alone.

ANINDIANA ROMANCE.

She couldn't see 1t in that light.
She didn't want to marry him. and
he was bound she should. They
both lived q couple Of miles from
the city, and near neighbors. She
refused to listen to his counting.
and he grew desperate. So he
went off to the west, and while out
there persuaded a friend to write
letter saying that he was dead,
and asking rs his dying request,
that she might, if she ever went
out that way, stop for moment
and toss a weed or perchance q
flower on his lonely grave. This
was tender. but 1t didn't take
worth a cent; and she wrote back
a letter 10 the friend, saying that
if he had any consideration for
her feelings at all to send her
the dead lovers watch and
chain, his money, and all
his valuables. To carry
out his plans, the dead ma sent
home his brass jewelry and other
effects, and she Immediately pro-
ceeded to don the trinkets and
start to singing scnool with the
chosen "feller" of her heart. On
their way back home the
pair were startled by the
appparition of the lost
lover, clad in ghostly white, but
with the old lineaments intact.
The young man fed but the girl
stood still, and putting up paw
which resembled an elephants
foot, naively inquired if the ghost
wanted to be kicked to death by a
mule. To which his gh0stship re-
piled thus:
Lord! Lord Jerusha, hev /
come all the way home to find you
false ?" "You bet," replied the
fair one, laughing heartily, for she
had discovered that it was really
the person of her dead lover. The
fellow had played a nice game,
and had followed his goods and
chattels back to the land of his ma !.
tivity very quickly. The damsel
was so disgusted with the other
fellow for running at the sight of
the ghost that she Immediately
began preparations for marrying
the ghost.-Isrro Hd,lte Express.
