Horse Blankets whichare strong
and have a reputation are always
initiated in poor qualities which
look like them, but having fewer
warp threads are not as strong.
Some dealers buy these poor
limitations for a few cents less and
by saying theyar "just as good"
sell them at the same price as the
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference. /
You cannot tell whether horse
blankets are strong by the look
or feel, as the warp threads do
not show on the face. How then
are you to knowf

blanket from a weakone, the manu-
facturer of 81 Horse Blankets

sold as 81 blankets. Remember
none are genuine unless the

Surprise Party.

The friends and relatives of Mrs. David Chron-
niger met a her house, in Damascus, on Saturday
last. 1T being her birthday to give her
surprise by taking their baskets filled with roasted
chickens, pies, cakes and such things as are good
to taste. The company all got there about one
time and when they set their baskets on the tables
there was room for no more. The men discussed
the weather, crops, ETC., and after they had fully
given their opinion Of the State of Kansas and how
the crops were In that State, one man expressed
that In his opinion more grain was wasted In one
county In said state than can be raised in Oh Q.
This same man was once q resident of said state
but now lives In Ohio.
Well, we stopped the discussion on account Of
the rattle of the dshes and soon came the word that
dinner was ready. The chicken was soon devoured
and after partaking of bountfui repast there were
baskctsfn left. After dinner aunt Hannah, (as she

BOiIs and CarbunCles,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparila after n comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. c.. X. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even a pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one Of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of scrofulous taint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disligured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsapafilla fair
trial, avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect a cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.

praved to a healthy condition comes az

greater variety of complaints than any

wered. 1t is because Their
Drugs and Medicines are strict
ly pure and fresh. Because their
stock is complete in every par
ticular. Because their prices
are always the lowest. Because
their word is as good as their
note. Because they never mis-.
represent to make a sale. Be.
cause their motto is, attend to

follow
just at the present time, out
side of the rush for medicines
for the spring months, for both
man and beast, the most excit-
ment is in the Wall and Window
Paper Department, and IN OIs
and Paints. 1t is conceded up
on every hand that there has
never been shown in this city,
or in this section of the State, or
outside of the larger city mark
cts, such a stock of Wall and
Decoration Paper as they have
brought together this season.
The styles are varied and beau
tiful beyond measure, and the
prices upon these goods will as
tonish you exceedingly. "Home
home, sweet home, be it ever
so humble. there is no place
like home !" This is true, but
our homes should be made at
tractive, let them be ever so
humble, and to do this a few
dollars spent in wall and decora-
tive paper is just the thing.
Get your walls and ceilings
nicely papered and your home
is attractive and comfortable
without much rich and expen-
sive furniture. 1t is astonish-
ing whata few dollars spent in
this way will do, as the styles at
Saur & Balsley's are SO pretty
and the prices SO low that the
most fastidious can be suited
and the poorest can indulge in
having their homes papered
and decorated. The patterns
are SO perfect and simple that
one can spaper and decorate
their own rooms if they wish to
take the time. Any one can
do the work, and the paper and
fxins' can be had for an outlay
of a few cents or dollars. The
next thing to do then, to still
make your home more beauti-
full and comfortable, is to get a
little paint or varnish and
brighten up the wood work,

Mr. CLEVELAND, it seems, is going to
have another fight with the republican
maj GRITTY in the senate. He has nomina~
ted Mr. Levi O. Bailey, of indianapolis,
to be United States attorney for the dis
trict of Indiana, and the republican sena-
tors say they intend to reject him. The
reason given for this is that Mr. Bailey
made himself obnoxious personally to
Mr.. Harrison during the late campaign,
but the real reason is that Mr.. Bailey as
assistant attorney has been in charge of
the Judicial political investigation, which
many republicans fear may put striped
clothes upon some Of their Indiana brelh>
rem, and if confirmed as attorney would
be prepared to push the cases The re.
pub.icans figure that if they reject Bai-
ley and hang up any other nomination
Mr., Cleveland may send in to fill the
vacancy, the place can be kept open until
Harrison comes in, snd that he can select
man who will not be hard upon the
bribers who helped to carry Indiana for
him,

OF Democratic senators and representatives
elect Of the general assembly, which was to
have been held here yesterday was declared

failed to receive notice of the postponement.
Those in the city yesterday admitted that e
plan for organizing the senate has been
practically agreed upon, and that Robert.
sons right to pres de over the body will not
be recognized under any circumstances. The
plan agreed upon is to ignore Robertson
when he is introduced as the presiding Off
Ger by tie auditor of state by eIeciing a
Democratic member as president pro tenn.
The Democrats, being in majority, their
officer will be able to organize the body with
out Republican votes, and tbs Democratic
caucus nominees will be elected ami Installed

siding officers chair will he one

resolve itself into one of muscle The Repub.

iced in the House.
WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 25--The Demo
crafts OF the house are preparing themselves
for another discussion of the tariff before
this congress expires The clerk to the ways
and means committee, Mr. Talbot, has been
set to work 10 get up information relating to
the senate bill, part Of which is for the use of
the senators in attacking the bill between the
Cd and the 2lst of January, and part for use
in the house little later on. Preparations
are active for Il determined fight upon the
bill in the senate within the limited time
fixed for debate. Some Democratic senator's
are sanguine enough to think that they can
defeat the measure in the senate by a square
vote. This hope is not, however, very gem
orally entertained, and the Democrats in the
house expect certainly to debate the bill
there No meeting or conference of the ways
and means COMMITTEES has been held to con-
slider the policy to be- followed, except that
informally the Democrats have come to the
understanding that when the bill comes to
the house they will have to discuss it.
