Catarrh Cured

Catarrh is very prevalent disease, with
distressing and offensive symptoms. Hoods
Sarsaparilla gives ready relief and speedy
cure, from the fact it acts through the blood
and thus reaches every part of the system.
"I suffered with catarrh fifteen years. Took
Hoods Sarsaparilla and am not troubled any
with catarrh. and my general health is much
better" /. W. LILLIs, Postal Clerk Chicago

Hoods Sarsaparilla is characterized by
three peculiarities: 1st, the combination Of
remedial agents; I'd, the proportion; Sd, the

Sis1 list itself out a good way into the
stream. On one of the lowest points OF
it grew thick clump Of trees, whose
boughs overhung the water; and it
struck me that, if we only passed near
enough, might manage to catch hold
of one of the branches, and swing my
self up on to the rock.

were so near the precipice that | could
see quite plainly, a little way ahead,
the great cloud of spray and vapor that
lowered over the great waterfall. Even
at the best it was a desperate venture,
and can tell you that felt my heart
beginning to thump like sledge-ham-
mer as we came closer and closer to tho
point and thought what would hap
pen if missed my leap.
just as we neared it. it happened by
the special mercy of God that our tree
struck against something and turned
fairly crosSWise to the current, the END

mid-stream, while my end was driven
close to the rock on which the clump Of
trees grew.

on to it I heard the last roar Of the
doomed lion mingling with the thunder
of the waterfall as he vanished into the
cloud of mist that oyerhung the preci-
pice.
AS for me it was late enough that
night before | got home, and found
my poor wife in a fine fright about me;

A Steam.PIOR at work.


A Fargo, Dakota, letter to the Boston
Journal says: /" After all that has been
done with reference to bringing out a
steam-plow in this country, it remains
for an ingenious Engiishman to invent
and place i'll successful working steam
pillow. Mr.. j. G. Allen, OF Leeds, En-
gland agent for John Fowler Il Co.,
the manufacturers of steam-plows at
Leeds, is accomplishing some excellent
work on the Aurora farm, belonging to
Captain Thomas w. Hunt, at Blanchard
Dakota. 1t is attracting great deal OF
attention, and farmers are coming long
distances to see the plow at work. Two
enormous traction engines are placed
about 500 to 800 yards apart. Beneath
each engine and belted to the boiler is
q steel drum about five feet in diameter.
To this drum is attached a steel cable
about thTee-quarters of an inch in
diameter, 500 yards long, and capable
Of sustaining weight of thirty tons,
which drags the pillow to and fro across
the field. The pillow is a framework of
iron resting upon two large wheels; on
each side of this frame are firmly fixed
six plosys with Golfers that cut six fur
rows sixteen inches wide each time the
machine crosses the field. On the ar
rival OF the plow at the end Of the fur
row the gauge changes position, and the
plows that have been in the air are low
cred and ready to start back. One man
is sufficient to guide the plow, and,
seated over the body Of the machine,
directs one of the two large wheels in
the furrow last turned by means of a
hand-wheel. Each engine is of about
'forty-horse power, and weighs about
sixteen tons. When the pillow reaches
one side of the field the engine on that
sides moves ahe!M eight feet, the opera
ton taking three and one-half minutes
only, AID she pillow is started back to
the other STE Of the field. The plow

ELECTION RETURNS.
ohio Republican and West Virginia
Democratic.


The following returns from the Ohio
election are based upon the vote of
1888, when Hoadly had a majority of
IL, $50 for Governor. There are 1892
wards and precincts in the State, and it
will require an average gain of seven
votes in each ward or precinct to over
come the Democratic majority of 1888
and carry the State.
The reports as received last night and
this morning are as follows.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, October IA. 7P. n.
Forty-ive wards and precincts in Ohio
show net Republican gains of sl7. The
Fourth Ward in Kenton. the home of
Gen. Robinson, Republican candidate
for Secretary of State, shows net Re-
publican gain Of 1872. The Fifteenth
Ward in Cleveland shows Republican
gain Of 2lS.
At $50 o'clock P. M. the returns in
slude wards in number OF medium
sized cities. The same ratio of gains
throughout the State would give a Re-
publican majority of $4,000.
Returns from West Virginia at s
o'clock p. M. indicate the largest vote
ever polled in the State. The Repub-
hcans claim gains. but not large enough
returns have been received to indicate
result.
At $50 returns received from l3
wards and precincts in West Virginia
show net Republican gains of IO3, the
vote being compared with that of 1880,
when the Democratic majority over all
was 2,O69, The Republicans will have
TO gain an average Of "a votes in every
precinct to carry the State.
Returns from West Virginia up to
ii o'clock p. NJ, indicate that Wilson.

carried the State. but no figures are
given.

THE ELECTIONS YESTERDAY.

The returns from the elections in Ohio
and West Virginia yesterday leave the
politicians in as much doubt as to the
general result in November, as hereto.
fore. Ohio, which has always been Re.
publican in Presidential years, wipes out
the majority which it gave Hoadly for
Governor year ago, and elected Gen.
eral Robinson Secretary of State by 49,
600, and perhaps more. In 1880 the
State gave General Garfield majority
of $4,000 over General Hancock, and
. majority over all of 25, Last
year the State elected Hoadly, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, by
majority of 1889 over Foraker, the
Republican candidate, and majority
over all of A, 1877. This year the vote is
much heavier than in the Gubernatorial
election in 1883, and the Republican
gains are large, though it is not
claimed that the majority will be as
much as in the October election in 1880,
when Townsend Republican, had a
majority of $4,000 for Secretary of
State.
The Republicans claim to have elect
ed eleven Congressman, and concede
FIVE to the Democrats, leaving five in
doubt.
The returns from West Virginia are
meager. The vote was the heaviest
ever polled in the State, and while the
Republicans concede the election of
Wilson, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, by small majority, the
Democrats claim the State by at least
5000. The Republicans and Green
hackers made common cause against
the Democrats, while in Ohio there was
. square fight between the two old par
ties, the Prohibitionists, who have an
electoral ticket in the field, voting with
tne hepuDlicans.
These elections, which are the last
before the great battle in November,
Indiana being no longer an October
State, leave the great issue in as much
doubt as before they took place. The
Republicans had to carry Ohio, at what
ever cost, and the loss of West Virginia
would have had depressing effect on
the Democrats. As it is, honors are
easy between the parties in the game
played yesterday, and both will have
to work earnestly for victory during
the twenty days yet left of the Pres-
Dental campaign.
