The question has probably

"How can Browns Iron .Bitters

doesn't. But it does cure any

IRON

Physicians recognize Iron as
the best restorative agent known
to the profession, and inquiry OF
any leading chemical firm will
without doubt substantiatc the
assertion that there are morcprcp-
arations of iron than Of any Other
substance used in medicine. This
shows conclusivcly that Iron is
acknowledged to be the most i'm
portant factor in successful med
ical practice. 1t is, however, a
remarkable fact, that prior to the
discoveryof Browns Iron Bitters
no perfectly satisfactory iron COM
bination had ever been found.
Browns Iron Bittcrs does not
injure the teeth, causeheadache or
produce constipation-aM ofher
iron medicines DO. Browns Iron
Bitters cures Indigestion, bilious
ness. weakness, dyspepsia, mala-
ria, chills and fevers, tired feeling,
general debility, pain in the side,
back or limbs, headache and neu-
ralgia = for all these ailments
Iron is prescribed daily.
Browns Iron Bitters, however,
does not cure in a minute. Like
all other thorough medicines, it
acts slowly. When taken by
men the first symptom Of benefit
is renewed energy. The muscles
then become frmer, the digestion
improves, the bowels are active.
In women the effect is usually
more rapid and marked. The
eyes begin at once to brighten;
the skin clears up; healthy color
comes to the cheeks; nervous
ness disappears; functional de-
rangements become regular, and
if a nursing mother abundant
sustenance is supplied for the
child. Remember Browns Iron
Bitters is the ONLY iron medi-
cine that is not injurious.

On THE subject of legal advertising,
SherifFA Constable's, guardians. and In
fact all Gales Of real estate by decree of
court, the Corsicana Courier says: "The
proper advertising OF all such sales in
some regular newspaper for not lees
than six weeks, would be an act of JUS
tice to every poor man, minor or orphan
who might come within the jurisdiction
OF the law, for II would efiectually ex-
pose the schemes Of sharpers who are
looking for ''soft snaps" and give the
sale such publicity as to insure returns
approximating the value Of the prop
erty sold. Such law is one OF the
most important measures which can
come before our next Legislature for

---TnE death Of Payne, the leader Of the
Oklahoma colony In the Indian Terri
tory, will In measure settle that ques-
tlon Of the attempt to secure homesteads
in that country. For several years the
attempt has been made to boom sett lers
into the Territory, with the hope that
so many would get In that It would be
impossible for the general government
to get them out. But, beyond few de-
luded followers OF Payne, the boom did
not maicrialize, and the government
easily kept them in subsection. But,
Payne Is dead now, and the opening Of
the Territory question will have TO
await its solution until there is an uprls-
ing of popular opinion for that event,

ASENT the rush for Office before Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland, the following incl
dent Of Mr.. Lincoln's first administra-
tion is recorded: "The invasion OF
Washington by office seekers after the
Inauguration OF the Republican admin
isiration was wonderful, and the mail
brought petitions from thousands Of
place hunters who could not urge their
claims In person. AT the Postofllce de-
partment alone, over 1900 applications
for appointment had been placed on file
before the last Of March. The most dis
appointed place hunters who came to
Washington were the little town and
ward politicians, who, having worked
in their respective localities, fancied that
the whole world, including Mr.. Lincoln,
must be satisfied that but for each OF
them the Republican party would have
been defeated. One village In Pennsyl-
vnnia sent two rival shop keepers, each
of whom wanted to be postmaster. One
based his claim on the fact that he had
presented set Of torch-lamps to the
village corps Of Wide Awakes, while
the other demanded the appointment
because he had supplied the. oil. The
question was the relative value of the
torch-lamps without the coal oil, or the
coal oil without .thc torch-lanps. Mr..
Lincoln finally cut the ..Gordian knot by
reappointlng the old postmaster"
Mr.. W. IiuDsrErll, one of the editors
of the Bandera Enterprise, was in the
city last week and writes as follows
about the proposed, San Antonio and
Aransas railroad: "The big talk OF
the city just now Is the building of the
Aransas Pass railroad, and ln.my opin-
ion II is just the thing for San Antonio
to do next. Surrounded as.San Antonio
is with vast area.of rich farming lands,
she cannot fail as railroad centre to
become the queen city of the Southwest.
1t is argued by some that there 10 too
great a want of public enterprise among
Der citizens for her to do much; but !
am inclined to think that this difficulty
will be overcome In few years, II not

Monday. lie was a native of Salisbury,
where members of the family. among
them cousin. Miles Storey, still reside.
lie was born Dee. 10. 1919. One of the
biographical sketches published gives his
career as follows:
His family is collateral of the Story

comparative nothingness into the leading
and most influential newspaper in Michi-
gan. lie had made the establishment and
$4,000 in 1860. when he sold out and pur-
chased the Chicago Times.
During the war his paper was bitterly
opposed to the Union cause. and at one
time its publication was stopped by the
government. When the struggle was
over the Times became Independent. OF
Mr. Storey rs journalist, the New \ DIRK

IT is generally conceded by well-in-
informed members of both parties that
the election of Tuesday next will result
in favor of the Republicans. But that
fact does not make it any the less the
duty of Vermont Republicans to come
out and vote. The defeat of the Demo-
Gratis ought to be by such majorities that
they and the country will thoroughly
understand that Democratic principles
and practices are not wanted by the peo-
pie of this nation. Every four years
the industries of the country are partial
ly Frustrated, and the greater the chance
of Democratic success the more wide
spread the industrial stagnation. If this
is the effect of the possibility, simply,
of Democratic accession to power. it
is almost certain that the actually
would bring on business depression of
long duration and serious consequences.
The voters know this and will, we be-
lieve. act accordingly. But the larger
the maiorities against the Democrats the
less hope will they have of future sue
cess and the less apprehension will there
be of it at the next election. So we say
every Republican should be at the polls
on Tuesday next and cast his vote for
the candidates of his party.

THE editor of the Usage (kan.) Free
Press throws new light on the St. John
movement in a letter to the New York
Sun. Previous to his defeat for COVER
nor of Kansas, the editor says, his loyal
ty to the Republican party was unshak-
en- and had he been reelected would to-
day, "be one of the most intense and I'M
compromising Republicans in the Union"
The letter concludes as follows:
His present hostility to the Republican
party grows simply and solely out of the
fact that he was too big load for the
party in Kansas to carry. Being polit-
ically dead and damned as Republican,
he seeks to build a new political party,
of which he hopes to be the great leader.
He has but one idea, and his political
platform has but one plank, and that is
John p. st. John. The people of Kan
sas already understand this, and the peo-
pie of the United States will soon learn
it. | want to make predictions John
p. st. John will not receive 5000 votes in
the whole State of Kansas on the 18th day
of next November.

The anti Blaine crowd and their chief
organ, the New York Times, are in great
stress for munitions of war, and resort
to methods for obtaining the wherewith-
al to fight the Republican candidate that
will do more to help than harm him.
Las: Friday the Times printed fac-simile
of the last page of the manuscript of an
article entitled 1.-The Real ISSUE" which
appeared in the editorial columns of
the Tribune few days before the Repub-
lican national convention of 1880. The ar
ticle in question favored the nomination
of Mr.. Blaine and opposed the candida
cies of Gen. Grant, Gen. Logan and 9TH
ers. The Times alleged that the back of
the last page of the manuscript, which
was written by Gail Hamilton bore this
Endorsement in the handwriting of Mr..
Blaine: " My dear Reid: This is a time

is a metropolitan journal, that lays claim
to standing on higher moral plane
than some of its contemporaries, en-

would bring to shame the humblest en-

compares the lofty pretensions of the

give little heed to its opinions.

THE Democrats have insisted all
through the campaign that the tariff is
not one of the issues. The New York
WoHd, however, in reprinting the Demo-

this passage:

the existing tariff; and. subject to the
preceding limitations. we demand that
