Sweet maid, what anxclous thoughts tonight
Keep you lingering here on the stair?
Are you thinking of eyes that with .loves deeI
light
Pleaded with yonrs a share?
All, no. y far more important thing
Trouble the trobbing brain,
As up the winding stairs she swept,
Dainty holding her train.
She was wondering if, at the coming ball,
With little artistic tastei
She could make that look like another dress,
By wearing Il different waist.

Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1888-07-05

Two young ladies from the lower
end of the city went into store where
there was galvanic battery, and the
proprietor asked them to try it.
Each grasped a pole of the battery
and wondered why no shock was felt.
The proprietor suggested that they
kiss each other. They did SO, and
then there was a shock indeed. One
of the young women shrieked and fell
backward. The other made no sound
but tainted. Cold water brought
them both around, none the worse for
the kiss. The experiment has con-
clusively proved to the young ladies
that electricity must have q circuit in
order to do its work.-Er.

Copy of Letter From Edward o.
Brown, ESQ.


LYNN, Mass, Dec. Il, 1SS1.-MeXican
Pulque Company, Jersey City, n. j.
Gentlemen: l think Pulque will do all
you claim for it, and for the benefit of
others | will give the results in my case.
For several years have suffered I'M
told miSerieS from kidney and bladder
trouble and obstinate constipation.
Physicians whom L consulted said /
was suffering from Inflammation of the
kidneys and bladder, which had be-
come chronic.
The pain in my back and lOinS was
at times uncomfortable, and followed by
my passing gravel i'll considerable
quantities, after which for weeks the
pain and tenderness has been so great
as to render sleep without an opIate i'm
possible.
have spent hundreds of dollars with
physicians who have prescribed all
kinds of remedies with only temporary
relief.
About a year ago Mexican Pulaue was
brought to my notice 10y a circular, and
knowing that down Oh the RioGrande in
the time of the war the regimental sur
geons prescribed it for Scurvy aud kid
ney troubles, got dozen bottles and
commenced using Pulque according to
directions. After using four bottles
my bowels, which had always been
conStipated, became natural and regu-
lar, the pain over the kidneys began to
disappear, and L could sleep eight or
nine hours without waking. | contin-
ued the use of Pulque until | had used
three dozen bottles. The constipation,
pain in my back and loins and sleep
leSSneSs have all passed away, and for
the past nine months have been well
man in that direction. l recommend it
to my friends with the most gratifying
reSuitS,a Will answer any and all QueS-
tions concerning its wonderful benefits
to Inc. Truly yours, ISignedl

A Sensational Statement.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. ia well
known sporting man named Hook
made the startling statement to a re-
porter that Edward Coffey, the con-
demned murderer who attempted suicide
i'll his cell, had killed two men before he
committed the murder for which he is
now under sentence of death. Their
names were Nicholas Jacoby and Henry
Meyers. The latter was shot aud killed
in fight at picnic several years ago,
but his murderer was not known and all
efforts to discover him proved fruitless.
Frank Small was arrested for the muir
der of Jacoby and after lengthy trial
was condemned and executed. On the
gallows Small protested his innocence.
Hook now claims that Coffey was really
the murderer and that Small knew it,
but said that circumstances were
strongly against him and people would
not believe his story. Furthermore he
was in the last stages of consumption
and knew he had not much longer to
live anyway, and SO refused to say any
thing.

POrtland'S Kick.

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 19.-To-day a
committee of the heaviest merchants of
Portland, appointed by the board of
trade, held its first meeting and consid-
cred the question of the hostility said to
be shown to Portland by the Northern
Pacific railroad in the very high rates
charged on ores from the C9ur d'Alene
mines to this city, and the favoritiSm
shown to Montana cities in the way of
low rates. 1t is understood that petit
ton will be sent to the Union Pacific to
break off negotiations with the North
ern Pacific relative to joint lease of
the Oregon Railroad and Navigation
property. The Union Pacific will be
urged to extend branch into the Caur
dAlene mines. and in consideration of
this Portland shippers will give their

NO FEMALE COOKS NEED APPLY.
How to Bake Bread-Several double
handfulS of flour, without counting:
pour in some water. mix the baking
powder with the -four before you throw
the water into the pan. Don't sit in the
dough, and tell all the other fellows it is
dough. Bake in either a frying pan or
Dutch oven, and then tell 'em it's
bread. If they don't believe it throw it
at them.
How to Fry Pork-When the first
Squeal is heard, make for the nearest
killing in body Stand around and
tell the old farmer how you all used to
help cure pork when you We're little
and worked upon farm. Maybe he'll
invite you to dinner.
How to Make Oatmeal Porridge-G Grind
some oats in e neighb0ring fanniug mill.
mix the meal with some water which
the hired man will get from the old well
for you for quarter. If you don't like
the porridge you are not compelled to
eat it.
How to Make Pie-Steal two handfuls
of type. Throw it at one another for
fun. This is the only kind of pie that
won't give the gang the dyspepsia.
The above is all the writer knows
about cooking, but if the directions are
followed out the party will live well
enough, and female cooks and wait
reSSeS will be successfully eluded.
Nothing has been said about fish, as
everybody knows how to cook fish. If
you can't get fish try suckers, and look
out for sharks. In cooking fowl don't
eat crow until about the 4th or 9Th of
next November.

this year will not be the only sur
prised and delighted Republican. Here
totore, the party was made sue
eesSful only by the undertaking
support OF the ScandinavianS and now
we are going to lose them. We have de-
ctlyed them and they have found us
cut. PreSumlng on their ignorance. we
told them they must vote the Repub-
hcan ticket or business would go to
smash and their wages go down; that
Democracy meant ruin to the country
and they would be worse off than they
were in the old country. Well, we lied
TO them, and they know it. The Demo
Gratis are in power and yet their pros
perity goes on. We can't fool them
twice, you see. They will desert us in
droves and we will be left. Then again
they are against rs and our party on the
tariff question. Minnesota is red hot
for tariff reform. and these Scandinavia
ans all are posted. | feel diSconsolate,
myself
This was not told to Democrat, but
1t Is only Il sample of the talk that is
heard in the wiser councils of the party.
They realize that the 80 coo Scandina-
Wan votes in Minnesota are no longer
$1,000 Republican votes, and that they
hold the balance of power. AS for the
ScandinavianS, they know their power
and are organizing vigorously, in Min
neapoliS, at least. The movement of
Scandinavian Republicans, which
started off so gayiy, suddenly stopped
and the bottom fell out. But the Sean
dinavians, OF Democratic proclivitie.;,
have taken the cue and have organized
the largest club ever in the city. Their
plan is a good and thorough one. There
is central organization, with a branch
of which is a vice president OF the cen
trail club. The ward clubs are now or
ganizing and the leaders expect soon to
