A WarninQ.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is
shown by slight tickling sensation
in the throat, and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to
the lungs producing Consumption and
to the head. causing Catarrh. Now
all this is dangerous and if allowed
to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset you must act with
promptness; allowing cold to go
without attention is dangerous and
may lose you your life. As soon as
you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain
a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup.
1t will give you immediate relief.

PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY.
MORTIMER WHITEHEAD.

The Senate has passed the Agricul-
tural Appropriation bill, and the
work of farmers who are intelligently
discussing their needs in the thou
sands of Oranges all up and down the
land is plainly manifested in the en-
couraging items contained in this bill.
That the Department of Agriculture
in the hands of political man can be
of great value TO our class, and TO the
whole country, is being plainly dem
onstrated, and this has had its weight
upon Congress and united with Grange
afforts is bringing long hoped for re-
suits. Among the items provided for
are the following: For grass expert
ment stations S22,50O, expenses of silk
culture stations $4,000, continuing sor-
ghum experiments 100000, for inves-
tigating the peach yellows $4,000.
The item of $4,000 for experiment
stations was approved. Of which
$4,000 is TO go TO each State under
the Hatch act and $4,000 may be used
by the Commissioner of Agriculture
in facilitating the work of the stations
and collecting the results of the same.
The appropriation of 100000 for the
bureau of animal industry is made on
the same terms as last year, which
gives the department full powers so
far as it can be legally done. The APP
preparation for the study of hog chol-
era was reduced TO $4,000. as it was
not believed that more could be adj
vantageously spent on this work in
one wear

Leola.
On December Ist, Justice Soho
field summoned a jury, went to
the hut, opened the door and
found the remains as reported by
the boys.
The examination indicated that
the deceased had risen from his
bunk, without clothing except two
shirts and a vest, and had fallen
dead before the fireplace. He lay
on his right side his face towards
the fire. The fire had caught in
his clothing and burned it all of
except portions On the back. The
face was al burned away-nose,
ears, chin-so nothing was left
but bone. The fire and vermin
had destroyed his bowels, so there
was nothing left but skeleton.
The remains were IN SO disgust
ing & condition that they were
wrapped in an old quilt and buried
near the hut.
The evidence showed only that
this man gave his name as Games
Elvey." Under no questioning
could he be induced to tell where
he came from, nor anything of his
former history.
In his coat pocket, sewed in

FOUND DEAD.

LEoLA, Nov. 8, 1888.
EDITOR OF THE Press:
Dear Siy:.-Hoping by publica-
ton in your paper TO reach some
friends, or at least acquaintance,
of stranger found dead in this
part of the country, L take the
liberty to send you a detailed
account of the fact Of the case.
About the month Of August,
1887, a man some six feet in
height, with sandy hair mixed
with gray, blue eyes, and weigh
ing 100 TO 80 pounds, built a
small hut IcxIo feet out of legs
and split slabs, on the 81 of sec
ton 50, town 20, r. 6, being about
three or four miles west of Holli-
days Mills. The man seemed
thinly clothed, and his hut was so
poorly chinked that many thought
he would freeze during the past
winter; but he lived it through,
and claimed that he had made
the settlement as a claim for pre-
emption or homestead. During
the past summer, he has worked
for some farmers in this vicinity,
and through the month of August
up to September worked for the
Holidays on their ditch, since
which time he had not been seen
until November 2Gth, when three
boys were out hunting and called
at the hut. Finding the door fast
they climbed on the roof and
looking down the hole left for the
smoke to escape, they saw what
they called the remains of a
human being lying before the FIRE
place partly burned up. They

TO COMRADE WATTERSOM.

Comrade Henri Watterson,
brave soldier in the rebel army,
now editor of the Louisville CouT-
ier-Jourral, who OF course IS q
most competent man TO tell what
should be done concerning the
Grand Army says:
The democratic veterans ought
long ago to have left the G. z. R.
The Republican press rarely, if
ever, recognizes that a large part
of the Union army was democrat
ic, and everything achieved by
democratic soldiers has been
credited to the republican party.
The G. A. r. is now merely e
republican machine, and is Of no
benefit to the country whatever.
Comrade Watterson says the
order is Of no benefit to the
country. Are you sure, comradeP
It raised and expended, the past
year, nearly half a million dollars
for charity. 1t has been a
constant educator in patriotism,
and the democratic members who
do not care more for their party
the party whose dominant element
is made up Of such patriots as
you, Comrade Watterson-you OF
the Solid South and the rebel
army-than they do for their coun-
try, not to mention their souls,
have taken as much pleasure in
the work of educating in patriot
ism as their republican comrades
have taken. From your stand
point, we are aware, Comrade
Watterson, it is no benefit to the
country to educate in patriotism
Gazed at from your standpoint,
anything that tends to strengthen
the country that you and the
other fighters for, and lovers Of
the "lost cause" is non-benefcial
to the country. That, comrade
is well understood, very we'll
understood. The efforts of the
Grand Army have resulted in
building homes in many of the

matter to discover how you, a
rebel who can no more get in a
Grand Army Post than the devil can
