Brother Haney OF Moline. has put his
foot into the congressional dish and spilled
his chances all out. At the temperance
meeting in Moline, he, iguratively speak
ing, 'straddled beer keg and waved the
temperance banner" for which he was
severely taken to task by DR.. Reynolds.
AS far as his capacity will admit, Bro.
Haney is good sample of the political
demagogue. He has just the calibre to
allow "Kinsky's organ" to make him be-

the danger OF obnoxious disease has been
incurred by contact. Sores and ulcers,

resulting from the wholesome stimulation

the circulation when overheated, and carry
those offensive granulations which disfgure

entirely eradicated by GLENN's SULPHUR
