The democratic press say that Har-
risons Chinese record will defeat him
on the Pacific coast Why, bless
your innocent CD souls! The Cali
fornia delegation was among the first
to cast full vote for Harrison, after
the reading of the last dispatch from
Mr.. Blaine. which requested that his
friends refrain from voting for him.
Harrison's record on the Chinese
question, in short, is this: He opposed
the first restriction bill because it was
in opposition to the then existing
treaty between China and the United
States as it was his duty to do.
The present Chinese restriction act
received Gen. Harrison's most cordial
and emphatic support. The Pacific
coast people know Harrison's record
and endorse it emphatically. If the
democratic press or any democrat re-
lies On the Pacific coast vote to defeat
the republican candidate, they are
welcome to all the comfort they can
have out of the present situation.

Senatorial Convention.

Chairman Isenberg of the senatorial
committees being besieged to change
the date of the convention because it
comes the same week as the state
convention.
While the Free Press and the re-
publicans of Ellis county would like
to be at and take part in the nomina-
ton of state officers, yet the senatori-
al convention having been called, and
delegates in ten of the counties out of
the fourteen in the district having
elected their delegates to be at Colby
on certain day, a change of day
may lead to contested delegations, OF
a question as to the legality of the
nominee when elected, with chance
of another candidate, which would be
unfortunate, and the republicans of
Ellis county, while they regret the
mishap, yet feel it must be made the
best of and convention held on day
appointed. The senatorial committee
having called the convention before
the state committee no blame can be
laid to Mr.. Isenberg or his committee.

Come, come, it's not so bad; we'll
soon be rid of the cholera. The gov
eminent will put stop to it when there
are 5000 dead"

A Cure for Malaria.

''Has a cure been found for malaria

tor paused.
For plain malaria quinine, of course,
is infallible Professor Crudelli, by the
way, gives a simpler, less costly specific,
which he claims is equally efficient. 1t
is this: One lemon, peel and all, should
be cut up, put in three tumblers of
water, boiled down to one glassful,
strained and put to cool. When cool
the liquid is to be drank all at once, and
the practice to be repeated daily or
every other day, according to circum
stances of location or conStitut ion.

ALPINE TOURISTS AND GUIDES.
Successful Climbing Impossible Without
the Rope-FoOIhardy Daring.

Successful Climbing Impossible Without
the Rope-Foolhardy Daring.
youths Comp lnion.I
The Alpine life preserver is the rope.
Without this successful climbing is i'm
possible, and life is needlessly risked
4 rope, an alpenstock, or long pole with
Il sharp iron end, and an ice ak, are the
guides stock in trade.
The rope in general is MANILA, weigh
ing little over an ounce to the foot,
and capable Of sustaining dead weight
of more than twenty tons The rope is
from 100 to 90 feet long and is fast
ened about the waist of every member
of the party, who marching in single
file twelve or fifteen feet apart, keep
the rope perfectly taut at every slept.
AS rule, however, the Alpine guides
are careful and brave. Their principal
danger often comes from the fooIhardi-
ness of the people who look to them for
protection, but who refuse to follow
their advice. Some travellers persist in
crossing glaciers without using ropes.
or in ignoring the instabil ty of new
snow, or in talking continually, and
thereby eXhausting themselves before
they are halfway up the mountain.
They walk into crevasseS with their
eyes turned skywardS, and the guide
risks his life in pulling them out again.
They refuse to husband their strength,
and the guide has to carry them down
steep paths barely a foot wide, with
frowning wall of rock on one hand,
1 ,OOO-foot precipice on the other, and
a swaying body on his back.
In climbing the Alps, both tourists
and guides take their lives in their
hands. But the tourists are emboldened
to the risk by love of adventure or a
foolhardy daring. They risk their lives
need essly. But the guides make it
their daily work. They are protectors,
pilots, rescuers. Upon them depend
the lives of hundreds of people, and to
save or protect these lives they are for
ever endangering their own.

Sluggish Liver,
ETC, ETC, ETC,

Unlike many kinds of cathartic
- medicines, do not make you feel
worse before you feel better. Their OPP
Grafton is gentle, but thorough, and
unattended with disagreeable effects,
such as nausea, gripping pains, etc.
Seigels Operating Pills are the best
family physic that has ever been discov
cred. They cleanse the bowels from all
irritating substances, and leave them in
a healthy condition.
The best remedy extant for the bane
of our ives-constipatiO and sluggish
liver.
These Pills prevent fevers and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all pois
onous matter from the bowels. They
operate briskly, yet mildly, without any
pain.
If you take a severe cold, and are
threatened with fever, with pains in
the head, back, and limbs, one or two
doses Of Seigel's Operating Pills will
break up the cold and prevent the fever.
A coated tongue, with a brackish
taste, is caused by foul matter in the
stomach. A few doses of Seigels
Operating Pills will cleanse the stom-
ach, remove the bad taste, and restore
the appetite, and with it bring good
health.
Oftentimes disease, or partially de-
cayed food, causes sickness, nausea and
diarrh9a. If the bowels are cleansed
from this impurity with dose of
Seigels Operating Pills, these disa-
greeable effects will vanish, and good
health will result.
Seigels Operating Pills prevent
ill-effects from excess in eating or drink
ing. A good dose at bedtime renders
person fit for business in the morning.
These Pills, being sugar-coated, are
pleasant to take. The disagreeable taste
common to most pills is obviated.

railroad of the future. An experiment
tai line has been erected at Laurel, &c
miles from Baltimore. A compromise
between the pneumatic tube and the or
binary railroad carries miniature train
of two cars, solely for mails and light
parcels, without any attendance. The
road has three rails, one above the cal
for carrying the current, and two below,
which carry the cars. The cars ale
built of sheet iron and are two feet
wide and 21 feet long. Speed will be
regulated, and po wer or brakes applied
by electricity solely. If the experimen
at Laurel succeeds, it is stated that SINH

less calf. 1t is short-horn, now over
six weeks old, healthy and active, and
like any other animal OF its age. except
that the body is entirely destitute of
hair. The flesh is soft. of pink or
light red color, and becomes blistered
when exposed to the sun even for a
minute. 1t is therefore kept in dark
stable TO protect it from the heat and
flies. 1t is said that tho owner has
several times refused offers of $4,000
for it from Barnum and others, but is
holding out for higher figure, $40, 600
being his price. 1t is great curiosity.

self punctual to the second, but expects
