Arrangements are In progress to
celebrate in London, the Booth year of
the discovery Of the potato plant, an
event next in importance to the human
race as the discovery of America. Three
hundred years ago a ground plant no
larger than a hickory nut was found at
the foot of the Peruvian Andes. This
plant, by cultivation, has proven one
of the most important vegetable pro-
auctions in the civilized world. 1t is
a cheap and wholesome diet, but for
which millions of poor would have
suffered starvation, particularly in
Europe. The potato is indispensable
on the tables of the rich as we'll
ss the poor. 1t is said the
tobacco plant was discovred for use in
North America about the same time
the potato was discovered in South
America. The world would have been
none the poorer, but probably the rich.
/ er. If the discovery of tobacco as an
article of daily use had never been
made.

At the Methodist church ON Christ
mas eve there was profuse decora-
ton of evergreens, and the entertain
ment consisted of music, reading and
recitations as is customary on such
occasions participated in by the chill
dren of the Sunday School. The novel
part of the entertainment, however,
was found in beautiful ice palace
brilliantly lighted, from which Santa
Claus in his winter garb made happy
the hearts of the children by liberal
distribution of Christmas delicacies in
great variety, which were received
with many childlike evidences of joy
and appreciation, which indicates that
all entered into the spirit of the
occasion with great unison and soul
fulness.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers.
as well as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with Green's august
FIoBer and Boschee's German Syrup,
as the reduction of thirty-six cents per
dozen, has been added to increase the
bottles containing these remepies,
thereby giving one-ffth more medicine
in the rs cent size.
The august Fiower for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles.
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advan-
tage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted. in every town and

Hon. N. p. Haugen.

The question having been raised as
to Mr.. Haugen's soundness on the
subject of soldiers pensions, we deem
ii proper for us to place before the
public his expressed views on this i'm.
portant subject. in order that he may
not be misunderstood by that portion
of the community most interested in.
and most anxious for wholesome and
kindly legislation relative to pensions.
Sumo of MIR. EIaugen's warmest friends,
anxious to know his position in
this matter, have asked him to define
the ground on which he stands, and
have received inequivOcal answers.
which, to us seem to be sound, and
all that can be desired by those most
deeply concerned relative TO the care
the government exercises over the
defenders of our national life, and
their dear ones. Mr.. Haugen says he
is in favor of broad, comprehensive
pension law, which will obviate the
difficulties which honest claimants
experience in procuring the pension
obviously due them, and thereby re-
duce the necessity for special legisla-
ton as much as possible. He thinks
it should not be made legal neces
sity for the applicant for pension
to procure the endorsement of
surgeons or officers with whom he
served SO long as the army records
subStantiate his claim, as now seems
to be the case, preventing often the
allowance of the claims of the most
worthy. Through his personal ex-
perience in procuring pensions for vet
Grams, he has arrived at the conclusion
that the present law is too narrow and
technical for the old soldiers good,
and would so change 1t as to better
and more thoroughly favor them with.
out removing necessary safeguards
against frauds. Mr.. Ilaugen thinks
that it should not be necessary for APP
plicants to procure officers or surgeons
certificates (often an impractical or
I'm possible undertaking. when as good
proof can be had from comrades in the
rank and would often save just claim,
seeing no reason why evidence should
be rated by rank. lie thinks every
old soldier is justly proud of the part
he took in our great struggle. AMI it
is their right to ask that their repre-
treat them and their families
with the utmost respect and tender
ness.
Such being Mr.. Haugen's views
frankly expressed, not only now, but
in a letter in the scandinavian, of |
Chicago, long before he even surmised |
that he would be candidate for Con.
yress, it seems clear that as far as old |
soldiers are concerned it would be hard |
for them to find better friend with |
whom to intrust their interests in the
National Legislature. He feels that
every American should feel proud of
he part taken by our veterans in the
great struggle.

GEN. LoGAN,s SUDDEN DEATH

Is a great shock 20 the nation. Few knew
that he was even indispOsed when the
news Of his death flashed over the wires
and thousands Of people stood aghast at
che sudden change from health and vigor
% cold Ond silent death. For the past
twenty-five years there has been no man
more constantly before the public than
General John A. Logan. Through all his
career he has been noted for his fearless
ness and purity Of character, both in pub
lie and private life. Loved by friends and
respected by enemies he will be mourned
By all
His death adds another to the long list
of victims to sudden and acute rheuma-
Gsm. Probably no disease is so common
As rheumatism, none is more sudden or
dangerous, and there is certainly none
which so completely battles medical skill.
Only one remedy has yet been discov-
cred which IS a sure and safe cure for
rheumatism and its twin disease, neural
sIa, and that Is Athlophoros In thou
sands Of cases AthlOphoros has proved a
quick and certain cure for these diseases.
In connection with Athlophoros Pills it
has never yet failed to speedily effect a
cure.
In all probability many deaths attribu-
Ted to heart disease are caused by these |
terrible diseases, which are far more IAN |
gerous than Is generally considered.
Rheumatism, even though in a very |
mild form, Is extremely dangerous, for it |
Is liable at any moment to 90 to the heart
and cause instant death. Why trife with
q disease 50 fatal when a certain cure can
be obtained Of any druggist?
Every druggist should keep AthlophO-
ros and AthlophOros Pills, but where they
cannot be bought of the druggist the Ath-
lophoros Co, Il2 Wall St, New York,
will send either carriage paid on receipt
