The ARGUS has said that Tom Reed
secured his reelection in Maine by the
worst kind OF bribery and the scaudalous
use of money This, the Union says, is q
lie, and that as his district was republi-
can there was no need of using money
even if he had been so disposed
When Reed was compelled to leave
Washington to look after his own cleo
ton he carried ampl- wealth with him TO
purchase every voter thst was necessary.
He found it necessary. He also found il
necessary to employ an agent to attend
to the business for HIM. This agent sat
1T table near the polls and openly pur-
chased the voters as they were driven up,
paving them in the currency furnished By
Reed. The price WAS all the way from q
few dollars to twenty five dollars. When
more was necessary it was handed out.
This agent transacted his business as
openly as the te Ter in a bank. The
money was given Reed by his friends in
Observation-Disclosures who are benefited
by the protection that is given to their
business by stealing money from the peo-
pie in the shape of taxes.
If there was no need of such practices
because the district was republican, ac-

cessity of importing into the state the

people from one end of the district to

The democrats used the money says the
Union. 1t was very likely, was it not,
that the democrats should USE money in

before Reed came down from Washington
with his Doodle and his friends7
Another thing, says the Union. Reed is
q poor man and stands on his merits.
Reed resides in one of the hsndsomest
lives in the best possible style. He was
poor at one time. when he was strug-

With him the Ell justifies the means.
1t would not be necessary to present
Reeds qualities and peculiarities to the
peoEl. at this hour, except that he is ex-

educate the masses how to vote and &c
help elect Gest 20 congress. 1t is for the
purpose of showing those who do mo-

CATARRH
Catarrhal Deafness, Hay Fever, A New
Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites in
the lining membrane of the nose and eus-
tachian tubes. microscopic research, how
ever, has proved this to be fact, and the
result of this discovery is that simple rem
edy has been formulated whereby catarrh,
catarrhal deafness and hay fever are perma-
nently cured in from one to three simple ap-
plications made at home by the patient once
in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by rep
utable physicians as injurious. A pamphlet
explaining this new treatment is sent free
on receipt of stamp to pay postage, by A.

Cloth Made from Pine Tree Leaves.

A company in Columbus county. n. c.,
Is engaged in manufacturing mating and a
substitute for jute flor bagging, etc. from
leaves of pine trees, with daily capacity of
1000 yards, fully equal TO jute in every
respect, and at a less cost.
The process by which this hitherto useless
material is made into useful commodity is
as follows: The leaves of the long Leaf
pine are gathered and taken to the works.
where they are first weighed. Then thu Y
are thrown into large vats, where they are
boiled in alkal at a low temperature for
about twelve hours. Then after being
thoroughly soaked in the same watts, they
are taken by a continuous automatic process
through the rubbing, wrlnglng, trding,
drawing, rowing, winding aud weaving ma
chimes, in the latter of which the : hstance
becomes an excellent article of bagging,
and after going through a calendering
machine is ready for use and the market
The process of manufacture after leaving
the wringer is very similar to that of max
ing cotton goods.
The company pays Is cents per hundred
pounds for the leaves as they are brought
from the forest near by, and they have
machinery for the manufacture of mating,
bagging, material for upholstering purposes
and carpet lining. 1t is excellent for this
company is devotng all its force TO the
manufacture of bagging, for which there is
a constantly increasing demand as the value
of the article becomes better known. This
business demands all the possibilities of the
present, and there is every prospect that
the company will soon be compelled to
largely increase the producing capacity of
the plant.
The fact has been established that for
every foot of pine timber there is one pound
of green leaves. Since the works were
started, six years ago, they have used 81,
42S, 900 pounds of leaves, all of which have
been gathered within a radius of four miles,
and not tree has been injured by this
tribute to what is destined to be great
industry and an important factor among
the manufacturing enterprises of the South.
This amount of raw material would make
8, 900, 900 yards of bagging of two pounds
per yard. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Kabo corset, besides
being tough, SO tough in its
a." bones that they can't be
broken or kinked or rolled
up or slipped or shifted, has
flexible loop eyelets, instead
of metal ones which cut the
corset laces.
In no respect will the
Kabo corset fail in a year,
unless the steels break. No
way has yet been discovered
to make unbreakable corset
steels.
If the Kabo "bones" give
out in a year, GO to the store

If, after wearing the Kabo
