Ex-senator Riddeberger, in recent
public speech, said postmaster in his dis
trict, storekeepsr, told him the reason he
got his appointment was the fact that che
bought great many goods of Wanamak-
err This is q most serious charge, aud,
what's more, it is believed by those who
heard it. Mr.. Riddleberger is prominent
republican, and his personal friends say his
word is as good as his bond. 1t would
seem that If Mr.. Wanamaker were convince
ed of his innocence he would demand an
explanation or an Investigation. But he
has done neither. On the contrary, he goes
on appointing Malone postmasters.-Aler.

Eam0uS Women.

1t is significant fact that the most of
women who have achieved fame in art, lit
erature, or 'affairs," have enjoyed vigor-
GUS health. This shows that the mind is
never capable of the severe and continued
application necessary to creative work, un-
less the body is at its best. The woman
who aspires to fill an exalted place among
her associates, must be free from nervous
debility and female weaknesses. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription will Danish these and
it is warranted to restore those functional
harmonies indispensable to health. As a
specific for all those chronic weaknesses and
ailments peculiar to women,it is unequaled.

The Charleston, S. c., Neucs and Courier
makes the following good point: "There is

says ex-senator Bruce, "but to scatter.

sands of colered people could find employ
ment there at fair wages. 1 hope they will

ex-senator Bruce does not advise his color

immigrants are SO much wanted just now,

About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
gout, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, 1 saw by an ADVERTISE
ment in Chicago paper that man had
been relieved of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. l then decided to
make a trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months. I am
pleased to say that it effected a COM
plete cure, and that have since had no
return of the disease"
Mrs. L. A. Stark, Nashua, n. H.,
writes: "One year ago 1 was taken i'll
with rheumatism, being confined to my
house six months. 1 came out of the
sickness very much debilitated, with no
appetite, and my system disordered in
every way. I commenced to use Ayers
Sarsaparilla and began to improve at
once, gaining in strength and soon re-
covering my usual health. 1 cannot say
too much in praise of this well-known
medicine"

cine, but nothing has done me so
much good as Ayers Sarsaparilla. 1

How an Aeronaut Was Grestsd by .
Polite Old Alabama Negro.
Not long after the war q circus came to
Montgomery. It was the first circus that
had been there In a long time, and, says
the Atlanta Constitution, attracted an i'm
mense crowd, especially Of negroes. The
most interesting feature Of the entertain
ment was the balloon ascension. The
negroes had never seen any thing OF that
kind, and regarded the spectacle Of man
sailing up into the clouds very much as
they would have looked upon Elijah going
up in his chariot OF fire. The balloon sailed
away eight or ten miles and came down In
field where some negroes were plowing.
Terrified at the spectacle OF q chariot COM
ing down from Heaven, they verify believed
that the last great day had come, and, re-
membering all their shortcomings, fed
away in terror at the approach Of the awful
Judge 49, .,.
One gray-headed and rheumatic old negro
was unable TO get away. He could follow
the plow, but he could not run, and the
chariot came down upon him with terrible
swiftness. In that awful moment his whole
life rushed upon him, he thought OF all the
petty sins he had committed and the ghosts
Of hundred chickens seemed TO rise up In
Judgment against him. But In that desper.
ate emergency his mind dld not desert him,
and remembering that politeness alway,
counted with his earthly master, he quickly
decided TO greet the Lord Of Heaven and
earth In becoming style. Asthe aeronaui

been forced into being by monopolies
and trusts, and they propose to organize
combination that will strike terror to
the hearts OF their enemies. AT present
the Patrons are devoting themselves ex-
clusively TO the merchants, and in every
town where they have o foothold they

dealer III each lihe OF trade to purchase
only from him, exacting pledge that
they shall not be charged to exceed

The Patrons have lodges in forty.

membership Of more that 5000. The
general offices, are located in this city,
and Rev. F.W. Verbucan, an old-time
