THE ADVANCE DROPPER,

Like the Improved Advance SelfRaker, it is a
combined machine having two blrs-one for reap
ing, cutting five feet wide-and is equally good
as a Mower or a Reaper. We have improved It
this year by making the sheave with spaces in
which the links of the chain tit exactly thus pre-
venting any possibility Of slipping or catching.

THE HIPROVED PRIZE HOTTER

As a grass cutter has no superior and very few
equals. Almost any Mower will do well enough
on smooth meadow-land, where the growth is not
very heavy bu, our Mower cuts equally well on
rough or smooth ground, and in thick matted
grass or clover as well as in thin light stuff The
draft is very light and being made OF the best
material is very durable, outwearing two and
sometimes three of some other makes.

RAPID CURE FOR cATARAH.

We find in the last "Annual Record of
Science and Industry" a remedy for
catarrhal cold which, from its constit-
rents, should prove more or less cffica-
cious. It's given on the autt ority of
Hamilton, who says itl will remove the
severest affection Of The kind in about
ten hours. The recipe is as follows:
10 drops of carboic acid, 7-5 drops OF
iodine, and the same Of chloroform. A
few drops of this mixture are to be heat
ed over spirit lamp, in test tube, the
mouth of which is to be applied to the
nosirils as soon as the liquor vaporizes.
The operation is to be repeated alter an
interval of two minutes, when the pa
tent will deliver number of vigorous
sneezes. and then his troublesome symp-
toms will quickly disappear.

The trial OF VIM. Mckee, editor of the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat before the United States
Court in that city, for completely in the whisky
frauGs, was terminated Monday by a verdict
OF guilty. The trial Of Mckee was perhaps the
most Important of any of the trials in shese
eases that have preceded it. He was regarded
as the central figure of the St. Louis ring BY
reason OF his influence With the politicians of
the West, but his guilt was far less clear and
ne retained to the last the confidence of host
OF prominent and honored citizens of St. Louis.
The testimony upon which he was convicted
was that OF several ''co-conspirat ors,'' one OF
whom stated that he had paid money to Nc
kee for the ring; another that money was paid
to Mckee in his presence. and others that they
had understood that Mckee was in the ring,
and that money was paid him. The effort of
the defense to impair the evidence of the wit
nesscs OF the government because they were
themselves confessedly guilty proved ineffective
the judge, ruling that their testimony under
the law OF Congress was admissible. The YER
dict was not generally anticipated. Even at
the Treasury Department at Washington some
doubts were entertained on the subject.
