On tic Gae3a1
the consumptive who's not be-
reft of Judgment and good sense.
He's taking DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. If taken in
time and given a fair trial, it will
effect a cure. Consumption is
Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, in its
myriad forms, and for all Liver,
Blood and Lung diseases, the "Dis-
covery" is an unequalled remedy.
It's the only guaranteed one. If
it doesn't benefit or cure, you get
your money back. You only pay
for the good you get.
"Discovery" Strengthens Weak
Lungs, and cures Splitting of Blood,
shortness of Breath, Bronchitis,
Severe Coughs, and kindred aFec-
lions. Don't be fooled into taking
something else, said to be "iust as
good" that the dealer may make
larger profit. There's nothing at
all like the "Discovery." 1t con-
tains no alcohol to inebriate; no
syrup or sugar to derange di-
gestion. As peculiar in its cura-
tive effects as in it's composition.
Equally good for adults or children.

made. and any one mentioned on that
list will not be accepted as tenant on
any terms. 1t is proposed to have
branches all over the Union and to be-
come as generally useful as Bradstreets

on forever Poor landlords! The time
will come when, with Artemus Ward,
they will think lit would have been

Would Take Clogs Off of industry Every
where.
The city of Newport, KY, just across
the Ohio from Cincinnati, is about to try
the experiment of letting all money,
stocks, bonds, manufactured goods, raw
materials, tools. machinery, etc., go en-
tirely free of municipal taxation. OF
course the hope of its citizens is that
the premium thus set upon manufactor-
les will draw in enough to build up the
city so much that the additional burden
thrown upon real estate will not be felt.
The outcome of the experiment will be
interes ting. but if it succeeds the result
can scarcely be claimed by the Henry
George single tax party as evidence that
it would be good policy to throw all tax
alton. everywhere, upon the soil. New
mort will offer inducements for the re-
moyal thither of mills and factories
from other places. but if personal prop
erty were exempt from taxation in all
States and cities. there would be no rea-
son for a change Of location on any such
ground. --Cleveland Leader.

apportionments as that which Is shown
in the case of the Second congressional

the monkey-wrench district. The dis
trict, which comprises Clinton, Iowa,
jackson, johnson, Muscatine and Scott
counties, gives democratic plurality of
