The Oswi Catarrh Remedy, now for
sale by the leading druggists, is a
remedy discovered by an eminent
physician, and is acknowledged TO be
one of the best remedies in the market
for the treatment and cure OF this
dread disease. Persons who have tried
it pronounce it an infallible cure, and
in all cases 1t gives instant relief. The
prevalence OF this dread disease
which, il neglected, frequently leads
to consutnption-in this city is mat
thus afflicted, but in the "Oswi Ca.
tarrh Remedy" will be found remedy
without o peer. 1t has cured hun
dreds where other remedies have
failed. One trial will convince the
most skeptical.

All article elsewhere III THE RKFua1s-
cAS, taken from The New York Tribune.
fully explains what ID meant by free
coinage OF silver. The article will be
of incalcalable benefit In showing the
people exactly what free coinage Is,
and the disastrous effects 1t must
have upon the business OF the coun-
try. The thing Is SO palpably incon-
sistent with plain, honest, business
like methods that it is matter OF the
greatest surprise that it should re-
ceive the least countenance from mon
who profess to be honest, and, in fact,
are honest in all the other business
transactions between man and man.
Anybody with any silver bullion on
hand may take it to the mint, sell 50
cents worth of IL to the mint for
dollar, and he needn't even take away
silver dollars in exchange for It, but
he can get in exchange paper dollars
worth on their face the market value
of the silver. It Is not hard to see
where this will lead to- Paper dollars
are more easily carried than that many
dollars In silver, and as consequence
the silver does not go into circulation.
After great many years Of anxious
effort to get silver dollars into circula-
ton, not moro than 60,0o0,000 have
been forced upon the people. The
people will not carry any more, and
consequently all over that amount
must remain in the vaults.
Free silver coinage, in fact makes
this country tho dumping ground OF
all the silver bullion In the world.
How long can the country stand the
strain? Under free coinage it coins all
the silver bullion that comes to it fol
nothing, and the owner of the bullion
besides really gets dollar in good
money from the government for 81
cents worth of silver. The sooner the
people get educated up TO the tru,
purposes OF free and unlimited coin
age and treat it in business like man
ner. the better it will DO for bot
themselves and the country.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Feb. IA very
heavy wind and rain storm visited this
section early this morning. At Mar
ahallton, village about five miles
north of this place, the strength of the
storm seemed to be the greatest, and
partook TO some extent OF the charac-
Ter OF cyclone. The wind was OF a
very twisty order, and made deep
whirring noise. 1t also seemed rotary
in its motion, and reaching the resi-
dence of Mrs. Phebe Marshall il tore
down very large double brick CHM
ney, and made the whole building
surge and groan as though it was
about to be hurled into fragments.
The inmates were greatly alarmed
and iii their night clothes rushed down
stairs but the great strain lasted only
about five seconds, and did not alarm
any other residents OF the village.

Tho Truce Should End.
The political deadlock in the Senate,
caused by the absence of Senator Will

tors not TO consider any subject OF q
political character during his absence,
may initiate against some much-need-

longer. Mr.. Williams absence is much
to BIO regretted, and the cansc Of his
absence draws toward him the sincere
sympathy OF the people. The Senate
and The people would be benefited, no
doubt, by his wise and conservative
views upon all subjects, but the time
for holding the session Of the Legisla-
ture Is fast wearing away, and it is
becoming a question whether it is wise
to hold back such important matters
as the reform in the ballot and consti-
tutional reform simply on account Of
the absence of Mr.. Williams. Spring

NOW AID AY s.
A Young Man properly
dressed includes in his
wardrobe a full dress
suit. Many young men
hesitate to do this on
account Of the cost. The
necessity Of hesitating is
no longer, for now you
can buy a suit for one
half what it formerly
cost. We have opened
a line of Full Dress
Suits at popular prices.
These suits are not
cheaply made. but are
from the workrooms of
a firm who have few
equals in this line. They
vary in quality and price
and you will find upon
examination that you
never saw such value for
your money. At the
urgent solicitation Of
many of our customers
who do not care to in
vest in a dress suit we
have laid aside an assert
ment Of sizes for hire to
responsible parties, and
which will be kept in
good condition for this
purpose only.
