Speaking of superstitions among sick
people a hospital physician said: Upon
one occasion II of the convalescents
was sitting near the window when he
observed a small dog barking f~uriously
while running along the ground direct
ly underneath. Suddenly the animal
stopped, and looking upward began to
sniff the air and then commenced dig
ging in the earth at a furious rate and
keeping up an incessaut whining. The
patient called an attendant and told her
that he wished to be put back to bed. as
the time was fast approaching for his
demise. The nurse demonstrated and
tried to laugh the man out of the absurd
notion, but it was without avail, and
the patient had his wish granted and for
several days grew rapidly worse.
II inquired into the cause, and upon
being told tried to make the man see
how foolish it was t o ~relinquish all hold
he had upon life. But the idea had such
q firm hold upon him that l was finally
obliged to resort to extreme measures.
and threatened to send him into the
streets to die if he was not better in
three days. As l anticipated, the dread
OF dying upon n public highway u
teracted the effect of the presentiment,
and within the allotted time the patient
improved wonderfully, and was after

Prometheus was chained to the rock
while yultures knawed his entrails. So
are many people chained to the rock OF
prejudice while all manner of violent
medicines inflict injuries upon the lining
of the stomach and intestines. They are
apparently immovable IN the belief that
to experience benefit they must keep
dosing with drastic medicines. Unless
the action of these is powerful and ex-
c~essive, they are not satisfied. They
would distrust a remedy of gentle action,
however effective. 1t Is not by such
purblind extremists as these that the
acknowledged merits of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters are recognized. That
benign regulator of the stomach, the
bowels and the kidneys appeals to the
rational-not only appeals, but is awarded
a lust valuation. Constipation. liver
complaint, dyspepsia and kidney troubles
yield to its action. So also do malaria
and rheumatism.

socially and intellectually as Is his face.
He is more careless in attire tLau Mr..

His merry eyes, honest American features,
snowy moustache, and thin gray hair

fluent and an eloquent speaker. apt at
repartee, and at home in the field Of dis
cussion. His voice is as clear as a bell, and
his gestures pat and graceful. He
never uses notes and rarely reads
extracts. Neither does he write his
speeches and commit them to memory.
His mind Is the crucible In which his ideas
are retorted. They appear without dross.
The speaker trusts to the inspiration Of

It really ought to settle it, but it doesn't.
The editor Of the Sun gives 1t as iufor,
nation coming within his own purview
that George w Hoyt-our eoonomI-
cal George-doesu't " the county of
Laramie $500 on a -recognizance which
was forfeited in June. 1859. The editor
Of the Sun has a well established reputA-
ton for truth and yeracity in his editorial
capacity. He has never willtully misrep-
resented anything through bis paper even
when he himself was directly interested
Ia the matter at issue or bis party or some
member Of his party bad something vital
at stake. There is no man, except some
one inclined to be extremely critical. who

Sun who is not euamored OF Its cast iron
adherence to principle. But while cheer

ACKNOWLEDGMENT We are still constrained
to believe that 10 this particular instance
the court records furnish much more
valuable testimony than does the single
handed opinion of the editor OF the
Sun
The court records show that the court
ordered the absolute forfeiture Of this
r~ecognIzauce on June 10. 1889 There
they stop, as far as this -rccoguizance is
concerned, and George W Hcyt now

n%izance, who wouldn't have settled the
matter long ago and charged the amount

Hoyt is undoubtedly too economical to
square the account Of his own v]olition.
but it is a matter which should receive
the attention of Prosecuting Attorney
Davidson, whose duty it is to take legal
steps to enforce the payment of the
amount.
1t is a significant fact-a fact indeed
shich fairly rocks with signifcance-that

County Attorney Davidson upon the law
governing such cases a. that Of County
Commissioner Hoyt Tho fact that Judge
Davidson is the official adviser of the
board and that his advice is cheerfully

whore legal advice is deemed necessary

TWO SPEAKERSHiP CANDE.
DATES

Amos J. CUMMINGS 10 the New York
Sun givcs brilliant pen pictures Of two
leading candidates for the speakcrship Of
the new house OF representatives The
frst is Charles Frederick Crisp OF Gcor.
gia, 45 years old, a LAWYER by profession.
and for the past eight years a member Of
congress. In the house he took front
rank bs a worker and a speaker, says
Mr.. Cummings. Crisp is always at
ease upon the Ao0r. Rarely will you find
him absent. He watches the proceed
ings ofthe house as closely as the watch
dog Of the treasury. His speeches show
mich thought aud research The logic
Is clear aud convincing. There is no
striving for effect. Assured apparently
that he is right 10 his own ~conyic-
tons, in the simplest words and
most compact sentences he tries
to drive them into the minds OF his
hearers. In gesture he is forcible aud
illustrative. HIS voice is remarkably clear
at the opening Of an argument. but.
strained at too hugh a pitch, it becomes
hoarse aud threatening. Crisp never rises
without commanding the ears Of the
house. Every scat within range Of his
voice is filed, and their occupants listen
in rapt attention. His e-loauence is found
at times in the quaint simplicity OF his
argument It Is almost irresistible in its
effect No one questions his Judgment
or self control II he wins it wdl be due
to his qualifications alone and not to his
personal solicitations.
Roger Quarles Mills OF Texas is the
other leading candidate. He was born in
Kentucky ffty-fve years ago. but has
lived in Texas since his youth, He has
served nine consecutive terms in Congress.
OF him Mr.. Cummings speaks thus enter.
tainingly: The other leading candidate
is the Hon. Roger Quarles Mills OF Texas.
He is well known throughout the coun-
try, and probably has a more numerous
and scattered personal acquaintauceship
than any man in the country. Mills is a
thinker and a philosopher. He writes
and talks with equal facility, and is well
up in al questions Of the dav. He is an
omuivJrous reader, and mentally digests
all that he reads. Il all assImllates with
his intellectual system, and gives him a
mental vigor and virihty perceptible to all
who associate with him He is
as strong in his convictions as
Col. William B. MORRISON and Frank
Hurd. Nothing can swerve him from
them He maintains them in the face of
ali opposition. No PARTY dilemmas or
personal influence can restrain him. He
is ever ready with reasons for the faith
that Is in him, and he always speaks right
out in meeting. He Is an honest. straight
forward statesman. with no taste Tor
strategy or chicanerY. He believes in a
square fighting policy. He will give and
take, but he insists upon fair play.
Nothing will induce him to conceal his
convictions. Representing one OF the
largest wool growing districts IN the
country. be was the loudest advocate for
free wool. He was the first among the
statesmen of the South to Jump upon the
sub treasury scheme Of the Farmers
Alliance. Its officers wrote him a letter
asking him to define his views. This
was last Summer. long before the election.
They got his views promptly, and they

This is credited as one of General Low
Wallace's Turkish jokes: There lived in
Stamboul, Turkey a well-to-do Turk

well in hand when he was in a tight place.

wanted to borrow his donkey to use an

Just as IsmAil finished his speech a don.
keys loud bray was heard in the stable,
which was under the same roof as Ismail's
house, but in the rear. The neighbor said:
"Ah, | hear our donkey bray"
Ismail protested that his neighbor's ear,
were deceived, and that the noise was not a
donkey's bray. Then the donkey, which
was supposed to be Jogging along toward
Scutari, prayed twice Loudly. 1t was too
much, and the neighbor cried:
"Oh, that is YOU donkey, IsmAil: Allah
help me. can now borrow him"
Then Ismail said:
