Death of Ex-senator Conkling.

Ex.Cnitcd States Senator, Roscoe Conk-
ling, Of New York, died on Thursday last
after few weeks illness. During the
memorable March blizzard Of this year,
he was ut his Office, and being unable TO
get conveyance to take him home he set
out to walk; he wandered about for n
number of hours in the snow and came
very near losing his life from shear ex-
haustion, but he finally managed To reach
clubhouse where he remained all night.
Mr.. Conkling attended to his law business
for several days thereafter but was finally
compelled TO give mp and go to bed, and
he grew worse until Tuesday. when deaths
cold hand was laid upon him and the
spirit OF the great man took its flight. lie
was great political leader, an eminent
lawyer, and an honest man. II may he
said Of him that he was the last competent
leader of the Republican party. Since his
retirement his party has been declining in
influence, and in 1884 II was Defeated
Without another Conkling TO lead il its
future is not very promising.

CHILL PILLS

These Pills are specific and anti
dote for Chills, Feyers and all forms
of Malaria Disorders. We have not
known a single case of chills dumb
or shaking) that they have failed to
cure, when taken in strict accordance
to printed directions. In majority of
cases a single box is sufficient to cure,
but in long continued cases when they
have returned again and again, more
is required. AS a tonic to build up the
broken down constitution produced by
over exertion, fevers, &c, these pills
cannot be excelled; they promote the
appetite, relieve headache, backache,
and strengthens the system.
The low price Of 25c per box brings
them within the reach Of all. For
sale by all druggists and country
stores. aprSS

" 1t is no use to argue the question
Philip, am neither stubborn nor opin-
have simply had lesson that
will last lifetime"
Look here, Jack You are like some
old bachelor who has been Tilted by one
woman and goes about declaring al wo-
men are false"
Not at all My brother Charley
died of Bright's disease brought on by
using one of these so-called blood puri-
fiers'-the kind you see attractively adj
vertised in every nook and corner. 1t
contains iodide of potassium, drug use
full in extreme cases when cautiously
given under doctors supervision, but
death-dealing to all who take it in guam
tity. If your brother had died under
such circumstances, you would hate pat
ent medicines as do"
% l do dislike the name of that mis-
called blood purifier for have heard

of half the cases of Brights disease in the

Oh, nobody supposes that old wo-
mans remedy will hurt anybody the
question is will it cure anything? I'd as
soon think of taking some of my grand
mothers herb tea"

had some of that tea to tone up your
system now, instead of taking glass of
brandy to make you sleep one night, and
perhaps bottle Of beer the next

No, it is a Vinegar Bitters lecture.
I've taken the medicine more or less for
fifteen years. and look the world over

What is all this nonsense about old
style and new style Vinegar Btters are
they different
Yes, the old style looks like coffee
with milk in, the new style like coffee
without milk. The man who made the
old style for twenty years-a practical
chemist-made a milder, pleasantcr prep
aration, adding to it here, and taking
from IT there, until he produced, my
wife said, the finest medicine ever made
1t cured her Of constipation and it cures
the children Of hives and all the little
ailments they ever have If my wife
thinks they have worms, she doses then
with old style. We always have both
kinds in the house, and together they
keep the doctor away"
" And you insist that the proof of the
pudding
