There Is n bit Of history connected

the whole controversy impinged upon
their respective attitudes as Ia soldiers
and pensions. this history Is OF present
interest. There were In the country

needed constant assistance in the needs

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonies
of severe attack of rheumatism. neural
gia or sciatica, and relief comes, it seems as
if new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found to their great joy that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
At Dubuque, Iowa, the druggists say Ath-
lophoros beats them all. We thought it
would be like many other rheumatic medi-
clnes that have been put on the market,
sell for while then gradually sink out of
our memory. But such is not the case
with Athlophoros, instead of our sales
diminishing they increase, and what makes
us have more faith in its future mission is
that our customers come back and praise
its good work in the highest terms. Said
one druggist to the writer: "My confidence
is SO great in Athlophoros that often sell
bottle with the understanding that if it
is not satisfactory will refund the money.
[ have never yet had to pay the money
back" Mrs. G. J. Alabeck, 1867 CLAW
Street, Dubuque, Iowa, says: III was SUBJ
ject to frequent attacks of inflammatory
AAS"AAo'SASnA "A4O AsaVo Occu nearly all my
life, at times I would be almost HELPLESS.
When l commenced with the Athlophoros
l was carrying my arm in sling, 1 could
not move my fingers without causing me
pain. One evening while suffering this
way heard of Athlophoros. The next day
| sent for bottle. I was little afraid Of
it at first on account of the buzzing sensa-
ton it caused in my head, but it worked
like charm, the swelling and the pain
were gone, my rheumatism was we'll. 1t
is now year and a halt, and I have not
suffered any SINCE"
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cam
not be bought Of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., 112 Wall St., New York, will
send either carriage paid) on receipt Of
regular price, which is $l.00 per bottle
for Athlophoros and SOC. for Pills.

Of women, constipation, headache, impure

grand battle in the First District and
Mark H. Dunnell will win the victory.
Winona Republicans: The Republican
has opportunity to say to-day editorially
only that it readily, and with full purpose
to demonstrate it's sincerity, acquiesces
in the action Of the convention which
placed Mr.. Dunnell in nomination for
congress IN this district. The time for
factlonal disputation and opposition
closed with the act by which the nomina-
ton was made unanimous, and hence
forth there must be but one watchword
and one purpose-unity and success. ~.
Spring Valley Mercury: For personal
reasons we have been opposed to Dun
nell's nomination, but believe he is one
of the strongest candidates that could
have been named, and he will be elected.
This is contest between protection
and free trade. and Republicans will
stand by their guns. Besides, Mr.. Dun
nell will have for an opponent dema-
gogue, who has invariably supported the
south instead of Minnesota in questions
of interest to both. who has acted as
railroad attorney while denying he was
in their employ, who left his seat in Con-
qress at critical period to prosecute
railroad suits against the people, who
has by supporting free trade measures
endeavored to ruin American industries,
who has supported and endorsed the
most extravagant administration ever
known, and who has by his acts broken
pledges and promises made by him two
years ago. Between the two, Dunnell
stands head and shoulders above Wilson
in ability, principle and honesty.
Duluth Herald: The Republicans of
the First district have selected an expert
enced legislator in the person of Mark
H. Dunnell as their candidate for Con.
gress. For twelve years Mr.. Dunnell has
served the First district in Congress, and
with him as the candidate there is little
chance for the Democrats to win The
state will send five Republicans and no
Democrats to Congress this year.
Red Wing Republican,: Hon. Mark H.
Dunnell, nominated at Rochester for Con-
gress in the First district, is the ablest
canvasser among the named candidates.
and unless the Republicans have folly
chronic and incurable in head and heart,
will retire Judge Wilson. who has scarce
ly been SO superior to partisanship as he
led many to expect.
