THAT LITTLE TICKLING

In your throat, which makes you cough
once in a while and keeps you constant
ly clearing your throat, arises from ca
tarrh, and as catarrh is a constitutional
disease the o binary cough medicines all
fail to hit the spot. What you need is
constitutional remedy like Hoods Sar-
saparilla. Many people who have TAX
en- this medicine for scrofula, dyspepsia,
loss Of appetite, and other troubles. have
been surprised that it should cure this
troublesome cough. But to know the
actual cause Of the cough is to solve the
mystery. Many cases of consumption
can be traced back to the neglect of some
such slight affection as this. COnsump-
ton can be controlled in its early stages,
and the effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla in
purifying the blood, building up the gen.
eral health, and expelling the scrofulous
faint which is the cause Of catarrh and
consumption, has restored to perfect
heal many persons on whom this
dreaded disease seemed to have firm
| hold.

John BROWNS IRON sHACKLEs

James N. Atwood of Livermore Cen
ter, Mo-, has in his possession the verit-
able 'leg irons" worn by John Brown
during his imprisonment previous 10 be-
ing hanged at Harper's Ferry.
II. Atwood, Jr.. Company |, First
Name Volunteers) was at the Jail short
ly after John Browns death. The Off
GERS in charge of the buildings vouehed
for the identity of the irons at the time,
and Mr.. Atwood was thoroughly salts
fed with the proof. He also formed the
acquaintance of the old negro and his
wife who had the care of the cell where
Brown was confined.
On the day of the execution the old
man, being afraid that he should forget
which pair of irons it was, tore a strip
from the quilt of John Browns cot and
tied it into the key of the shackles. but
the old negress, his wife, said : Law |
didn't forgit nottin', for it was de only
pair O. irons in de whole Jail where de
key turn de wrong way" Ut was left
handed key.)
Untying the dirty strip of calico from
the key, Mr.. Atwood went to Browns
cell and found the torn place in the
quilt, the figure of the cloth matching
perfectly.
Mr.. Atwood tried to buy the shakes
from the authorities, but they good ma
turedly told him they had no right to
SELL" then be made this proposition :
eff those irons should disappear and a
new pair be found hanging in their place
would there be any investigation p
They answered him, Probably not"
He then paid SO for new pair and
made the transfer on his own RESPONSE
bility.
The shackles were sent home to Mrs
II. Atwood, Jr., but the journey was in
terrupted several times. Rev. Henry
Ward BeeCher took them upon the lee
ture platform one evening as an eloquent
object lesson. They were on exhibition
for week in Portland, Me.
The Portland Historical Society was
very anxious to get possession of them.
The socIety's rooms were destroyed af-
terward in the great Portland fire,
For few years previous to the death
of II. Atwood, Jr., the shackles were on
exhibition in the museum in connection
with the Boothbay Custom House.
Mr.. Atwood, after returning from his
services in the war, entered the Free
Will Baptist misistry. He was brother
to James N. Atwood, who now has these
shackles in possession. The present pro.
prietor prizes them very highly, and
says that they are not for sale, being al.
most the only souvenir he has of his de.
parted brother.-Auburn (Me.) Gazette

CHOKING OATARRH,

Have you awakened from disturbed
sleep with all the horrible sensations of an
assassin clutchng your throat and pressing
the life-breath from your frightened chest
Have you noticed the languor and debility
that succeeded the effort to clear your
throat and head of this catarrhal matter?
What depressing influence it eXerts upon
the mind, clouding the memory and filling
the head with pains and strange noises ?
How difficult ii is to rid the nasal passages,
throat and lungs of this poisonous mucus
all can testify who are afflicted with ca
tarrh. How difficult to protect the system
against its further progress towards the
lungs, liver and kidneys all physicians will
admit. II is Il terrible disease and cries
out for relief and cure.
The remarkable curative powers, when
all other remedies utterly fail of SANFORD s
RADICAL CURE, are attested by thousands
who gratefully recommend it to fellow
sufferers. No statement is made regarding
1t that cannot be substantiated by the most
respectable and reliable references.

OFFGcE'oF DAILY AND WEEKLY Statesman
AUSTIN, August 6, 1889.
While owing to the continued dryweather
the prospects for cotton are less encourag-
ing than week ago, nothing has trans
PRED to warrant anything but the best
anticipations for the fall trade. Even
without another drop of rain it is conceded
on all sides that the crop will be consider
ably in excess of last year in the section
Immediately tributary to Austin. In addi-
ton to this the Alliance cotton yards
located here, and about completed, will
cause a much larger quantity of the staple
to be marketed here than otherwise would
be the case. Altogether the prospects are
fair for fine fall business, which will be
in full blast inside of two weeks.
There have been some changes since our
last weekly report, which will be found in
the price current below. Butter and eggs
are both on the rise, and in fact all country
produce is more scarce and tends to adj
vance.

BABY ONE SOLD RAM,

Ugly. painful, blotched, malicious. No
rest by day. no peace by night. Doctors
and all remedies failed. Tried Cuticura
Remedies. Effect marvellous. Complete
cure in five weeks. Saved his life.
Our oldest child, now six years of age,
when an infant six months old, was at
tacked with a virulent, malignant skin
disease. All ordinary remedies failing, we
called our family physician, who attempted
to cure it; but it spread with almost in.
credible rapidity, until the lower, portion of
the little fellows person, from the middle
of his back down To his knees, was one
solid rash ugly, painful blotched, and
malicious. We had no rest at night, no
peace by day. Finally, we were advised to
tryIthe CUTICURA REMEDIES. The effect was
simply marvellous In three OF, four weeks
a complete cure was wrought, leaving the
little fellows person as white and healthy
a. though he had never been attacked In
nav opinion, your valuable remedies saved
his life, and to-day he is strong, healthy
child, perfectly well, no repetition of the
disease having occurred.

New YORK, August 6.-The stock market
was not so active to-day as yesterday, but
there was continuance of the movement
for higher prices, and while some of the
late factors in the rise were absent a mate
rial advance was scored all over the list.
First prices were generally slightly higher
than last evenings figures, but the strength
of the market was Immediately made APP
parent, and general upward movement
began, though Missouri Pacific became the
leader, and it was believed in some quar-
tiers that Mr.. Gould was interested i'll the
market on large scale. The stock moved
up IA per cent and marked advances were
made in Lake Erie and Western preferred,
San Francisco preferred and Jersey Central
and Chesapeake and Ohio. The greater
portion of the improvement was made in
the final hour, however, after which the
demand from the shorts ceased, and the
market settled down to dizziness, and in
many cases stagnation. The close was dull
and firm, at nearly the best prices of the
day.

100000 in the drawing of the Louisiana
State Lottery on June 10. Miss Dswce

FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR ONE.
Fifteen thousand dollars in return for
the expenditure of one dollar is not bad
investment, as all will admit, and that was
the good fortune that befell our young
townsman, Mr.. Felix Hitler, who held one
fortieth of ticket No. 81 sos that drew the
capital prize of 100000 in the June
Drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery,
and his share thereof, $4,000, was
promptly paid to him through the Canton
Exchange bank.
As regularly as the months roll round
the papers chronicle the good fortune of
those on whom the tickle goddess bestows
her blessings through the agency of the
Louisiana State Lottery. This is not the
first time winning numbers have been
held in our town, but so large an amount
as that won by Mr.. Hitler has not hereto
fore come our way. We congratulate our
townsman on his good fortune. The next
drawing will take place on Tuesday, Au-
gust ID, the capital prize being 100000.
Will some lucky Cantonian SCORE another
winning? Who can tell? Tickets can be
had by addressing M. A. Dauphin, New
