His political power is a thing of the

If by sclfinspection and prayer Mr..

convinced that he is not infallible, a
short notice to that effect, over his own
signature, in the Wilmington papers,
would attract favorable notice among
men of both parties in Washington.

A Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life,

1t was just an ordinary scrap of wrap
ping paper, but it saved her life. She was
in the last stages of consumption, told by
physicians that she was incurable and could
live only short time; she weighed less
than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrap
ping paper she read of DR.. Kings New
Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it
helped her, she bought large bottle, it
helped her more, bought another and grew
better FAST continued its use and is now
strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing 140
pounds. For fuller particulars send stamp
to w. H. Cole, Druggist, Forth Smith.

AS a matter of course, swindling,
especially through the United States
Post office Service, cannot be permitted,
and therefore the young scamp at
Chicago who has been for some months
duping and robbing the fools who adj
vertised for wives, must be punished
now that he has been located and cap
tured. But he should be punished
simply for his offence against Uncle
Sans mails +; his offences against his
silly dupes are almost entirely con-
doned by the willful willingness of the
victims. A man who advertises for a
wife deserves to be bled-he is not fit
to be wed.

unsatisfactory, as thousands of despairing
patients can testify. On this point trust
worthy medical writer says; Proper To-
cal treatment is positively necessary to
success, but many, if not most of the rem
edies in general use by physicians afford
but temporary benefit. A cure certainly
cannot be expected from snuffs, powders,
douches and washes" Ely's Cream Balm

tant requisites of quick action, specific
curative power with perfect safety and
pleasantness to the patient.

PLAIN STAPLE DRESS GOODS.

In widely advertising the
wonderful stock of Fancy
Dress Goods it has been our
privilege this season to place
before the public, we have

the latest and unimpeachable
testimony.

tratlVe, and as offering a fair
basis of comparison with usual
