Log Goblin Success.
What ails the young men?

JShAA6 AhOAI
Robert CARROTS father left him a
fortune of twenty millions. He was
from childhood reared in luxury; he
received a splendid education with AN
especial training into thorough
knowledge of railroad management
and was expected to succeed his father
as a railroad king.
Within three years after the respon.
sibilities which his fathers death
threw upon him were assumed he is
reported broken.down man, with
mind and health permanently shat.
tered.
George Law is another young man
left with millions of money, who is
reported among the wrecks" His
father, bred stone mason, was of gi.
gantic size and strength, with COM
mensurate brain power, so he became
a great contractor, then a railroad
king and left half dozen millions for
his son to dissipate. The young man
is success as dissipator.
The founders of both of these great
estates were born in the most humble
walks OF life, grew strong, mentally and
physically, by simple living and honest
labor and developed into financial
giants. Their sons were reared in the
lap OF luxury and developed into in
tellectual pigmies.
The great men of our country have
not, as a rule, come from the elegant
mansions of the cities, but from the
Log Cabins of the rural districts. Sim
pie ways of living, freedom from dissi-
patton and enervating pleasures, SIM
pie remedies for disease, effective and
which leave no poison in the system,
develop brawny. brainy men, who com.
pei the world to recognize their
strength and power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned Log
Cabin remedies are the safest and
surest for family use. Our grand.
mothers knew how to prepare the teas
and syrups of roots, herbs and balsams
which drive disease out of the system
by natural methods and leave no after
i'll effects. The most potent OF these
old-time remedies were, after long and
searching investigation, secured by H.
ID. Warner OF safe cure fame, and are
now put out for the healing of the
nations " in the Warmers Log Cabin
remedies.

Startling Discovery.

The discovery by the inhabitants of
locality hitherto unvisited by the
pestilent scouge of fever and ague,
that it exists in their very midst, is
decidedly startling. Such discoveries
are made at every season, in every
part of the Union. Subsequently,
when it is ascertained, as it invariably
is at such times, through the valuable
experience of some one who has been
benefited and cured, that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is thoroughly efica-
cious eradicator of the malarial poison,
feeling Of more security and tran
guilty reigns throughout the whole
neighborhood. Besides the febrile
forms of malarial disease, dumb ague
and ague cake are removed by the po'
tent action of the Bitters, to which
science also gives its sanction as a
remedy for rheumatism, dyspepsia, con-
stipation, liver complaint, debility,
kidney troubles, and all diseases inn
pairing the orgaus Of digestion and as.

''Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
Teeth"


A prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,
Shrill, nasal voices and false teeth,
Americans don't like the constant
twittering they get about this nasal
twang, and yet it is a fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere, and
the universal presence Of catarrhal diff
fiCulties.
But why should so many of our
women have false teeth?
Thst is more Of poser to the En-
glish. 1t is quite impossible to ac-
count for it except on the theory of
deranged stomach action caused by
imprudence in eating and by want of
regular exercise.
Roth conditions are unnatural.
Catarrh troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end in cough and consump-
ton, which are promoted by malnu-
triton induced by deranged stomach
action. The condition is a
modern one, one unknown to our
ancestors who prevented the catarrh,
cold, cough and consumption by abun-
dant and regular use Of what is now
known as Warmers Log Cabin cough
and consumption remedy and Log
Cabin sarssparills, two old fashioned
standard remedies handed down from
our ancestors, and now exclusively
put forth under the strongest guaran-
tees of purity and efficacy by the
world.ian1ed makers of Warmers safe
cure. These two remedies plentifully
used as the fall and winter seasons ad.
vance, together with an occasional use
OF Warmers Log Cabin rose cream, to
strengthen and protect the nasal
membranes, give positive assurance
of freedom both from catarrh and
those dreadful and II neglected oonse-
quences, pneumonia, lung troubles
and consumption, which 60 generally
and fatally prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, OF Salem, Hen
ry county, Iowa, served four years in
the late war and contracted a disease
called consumption by the doctors
He had frequent hemorrhages. After
using Warmers Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy, he says, under
date Of Jan. 10th, 1888; ~ DO not
bleed at the lungs any more, my cough
does not bother me, and / do not have
any more smothertng syells." War
ner's Log Cabin rose cream cured his
wife of catarrh and she is "sound and
we'll"
OF course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false
teeth owners, but these conditions can
be readily overcome in the manner
indicated.

Proof Better Than Assertion.

With such proof as the following
letter from W. H. Dean, of No. 27S
Seventh street, New York, it is not
necessary to make the bare assertion
that Allcock's Porous Plasters cure
lumbago. Mr.. Dean says:
Some ten days ago | was taken with
very violent pain in the small Of my
back. 1t was so severe that 1 could
hardly breathe; every movement
caused great agony. ] finally found
out it was lumbago. Being entirely
helpless, friend sent to druggist and
got two Allcock's Porous Plasters !;
these were well warmed and applied to
my back, one above the other. In half
an hour, to my great delight and sur
prise, I found the pain began to abate.
In two hours was able to walk out
and attend Ato my business, the pain
being almost gone. Next day I was
all right but continued wearing the
plasters for week.

THE FIGHT in MICHIGAN.

Brilliant Prospects for Democratic
Success. .FOran on the General Out
look.
WAsHINeToN, September 22.-Con-
gressmau Chapman, OF Michigan, in
talking with your correspondent to-
day, seemed very confident Of Demo
cratic success in his State. "Michi-
gan," said he, "has never been so well
organized by the Democrats as it is
lust now. General Dickinson, who is
one OF the best organizers inthe DEM
ocratic party, says the State is in bet
ter shape now than ever before. Our
chances are fighting good. The Re-
publicans, II they hold the State, can
not carry it by more than than 5000
or 1000 plurality, and if we secure
her electoral vote for Cleveland and
Thurman it viii be by about the same
plurality
Judge Chipman said in calculating
the success of the Michigan Demo.
Gratis, the prohibitionist element is to
considered. Both parties figure largely
on their majority on the possible
strength of the prohibitionists. "Tf
the prohibitionists," he continued,
"were in earnest they would decide
the result and force the Republican
party to liquidation. They do not. as
a rule, vote their own ticket, which is
proved by the lightness OF theil vote
compared to their numbers"
Congressman Foran, who is pro-
.ectionist Democrat, said to-day that
he thought ii new looked much bright
er for Cleveland than it has hereto
fore. The edge, he says, is taken from
what the Republicans say about the
tariff blythe fact that no one denies
that a revision and q reduction is me-
cessary. and that thus far the Repub-
licans have not done anything toward
reducing the surplus and correcting
the evils Of the present tariff sched-
ule,

The Congressional Speaking.

Last Monday was the day set for
the candidates iorcoDgress to speak at
this @place. Promptly at one o'clock
the candidates were seated in bran
new "Old Hickory" wagon in the
court house yard. II was Mr.. Taylor's
day to make the opening speech He
led'off in q few random remarks and
got 80 enrapt in his random shots
that lie forgot 10 make his speech
He failed to raise any enthusiasm.
He spoke for an hour and hall and
did not make one point. His speech
was composed of mere assertions,
He did not back anything he said up
by proof. His principal quotations
were from London papers which had
no bearing upon the issues before the
people of this distrit, At the conclu-
sion Of his speech heleft the stand and
with him went the majority Of the Re-
publicane in the audience. They were
not willing to listen to sound Dem
ocratic doctrine and tried that scheme
to keep the people from hearing Mr..
Wilcox. In mis- speech he admitted
that the Democratic party and his
opponents were not for free trade
He also admitted that the competi-
tion, and not free trade, controlled the
price OF everything. He also said that
Ireland was free trade country and
because of that it was the most down
trodden and oppressed people in the
world. In this he tried to deceive the
people, lnasmuch as he failed To tell
the people that all the trouble was
caueed by the English landlords. His
speech disappointed his Republican
friends. They went there to hear
some arguments from their candi.
date, but were sadly disappointed.
Mr.. Wilcox took the stand, and
seemed 10 feel at home in the "Old
Hickory" wagon platform and spoke
for an honr and half. He complete
ly riddled Mr.. Taylor's assertions by
producing facts backed by the proof
Everybody was pleased with his speech
except the Republicans, and even the
most liberal OF them said IL was good
Mr.. Wilcox is TOO much Tor "Littlt
ALT" the "eaRle orator Of East Ten
nessee."
