According to the resolution passed by the
Mount Vernon Council, held 10 May, 1873, to

CONsUMPTTvRs, TAKE NoTICR.-Every mo-
ment Of delay makes your cure more hopeless,
and much depends on the judiciOuS choice Of a
remedy. The amount Of testimony in favor Of
DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for
consumption, far exceeds all that can be brought
TO support the pretensiOns Of any other medi-
cine. See DR.. Schencks Almanac, containing
the certificates Of many persons OF the highest
responsibility, who have been restored to health,
after being pronounced incurable by physicians
Of acknowledged ability. Schenck's PulmOnic
Syrup alone has cured many, As these evidences
will show; but the cure is often promoted by the
employment of two other remedies which DR..
Schenck provides for the purpose. These addi-
tional remedies are Schenek's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake pills the timely use OF these
medicines, according 10 directors, DR.. Schenck
certifes that most any case Of consumption may
be cured.

Office, corner sixth and Arch streets, Philadel-

KANSAS PONEROY,s $1,000.

It will be remembered that some two
years ago Mr.. Y Ork, a member Of the Kan
sas Legislature, defeated ;. G, PomerOy for
the United States Senate by voting for him
and laying upon the Speakers desk as his
"mOtive" for so doing, a roll Of greenbacks
which counted out $1,000. Ever since
these greenbacks have been lying idle for
want o. an owner. York repudiated them
as bride money; POmeroy declined to ac-
cept them, although cOnfessing he had
given them 10 York to hand to a fellow
citizen Of the latter when he returned
home; and the ''fellow-citizen' never turned
up. At length 4 claimant appears: John
II. ShimmoGs, Of Lawrence, formerly pub
Usher Of the Tribune, sold to S. G. POmerOy
a third interest in that paper, and an order
was given to Simmons for the $1,000 held
by the authorities at Topeka, as part of the
purchase money. The order reads as fol-
lows:
"CHICAGO. Nov. >, 1S73.-FOr value re-
ceived, receipt whereof is hereby acknOwl-
edged, hereby transfer TO John II. Shin
mons Of Lawrence, rs, all my right, title
and interest in and to 5000, handed by
me to A. N. York, last January, and now
reported to be IN the Custodianship OF the
Treasurer Of the State Of Kansas, and /
agree to maintain the title of the same to
the said Simmons, his heirs and assigns.
IS. G. PONIEROY."
Il is claimed that POmeTOy wanted the
Tribune for putting purposes, and TO hold
in check certain unruly parties. But Pom
erOy has gone back on this order, and,
through MS attorneys fled a petition to
have the money turned over to POmerOy's
agent. This, Of course, meant a division
Of the money among those who were in
strumental in getting the thing through.
Mr.. Simmons has already commenced
legal proceedings to make his claim good.
This $1,000 cleared away, Shawnee cOun-
ty will refuse to pay any more money to
prosecute POmerOy, and the great states
man. will go free.

SHORT on CORPSES.
Phil Sheridan Loses Thirteen Hun
dred and Fffty-Eine Dead Men.
New Orleans Plcayune


Sheridan comes out short on his murder
statement. We are beginning to doubt
his capacity as a statistican. He first as
serted that $500 persons had been killed
in Louisiana since 1866 on account Of
political opinions. and now, at the last mo-
ment, rather tamely and ANONYMOUSLY
acknowe edges that the number is only
2,14l. He tried hard 20 reach the original
$500. lie believed everything that Pack
ard told him, and listened TO Field and
Campbell until his hair stood up, but It
was no 90. he couldn't get together more
than 2,lfl, figure il which way he chose.
He went 10 PiaqueUine, rushed over TO
Brashear, made a descent on NicksbuTg,
threw in the epidemic Of 1867 and the
great Shreveport pestilence Of 1873; but
z,l4I was the best he could Go, and with
that he had to Ue content.
We can understand that Sheridan must
feel dreadfully cut up over this melancholy
business. II is a serious thing TO fall short
1859 corp Is, especially when the number
contracted for is only $500. Sheridan has
done the cause a service, however, after all.
But for his valu ible contribution, the com
mittee wouldn't have had any murders
worth N 5utiOuing. TIE witnesses failed
TO show more than 20 OF 50 altogether, III
Guiding Colfax and Coushatta, and the
murder and assassination business was tot
teringt to bankruptcy. Everybody wall be
grateful 10 Sheridan, We are sure, for COM
ing 10 the rescue with =, IA bOdies-sO
grateful that they viii ask no questions as
TO where he got them, or who certified to
the killing. This is an emergency in which
even a handful Of hair would be acccpia-
BILE, and Sheridan has certainly done u0bly.
