The Speakership Fight.

Mr.. Springer has shown that
he is a good politician. In all
the contest over the speaker
ship he never once lost his
temper, and when he was fin
ally forced to yield he so man.
aged as to bear away the
honors of the fray. This was
a great thing to do. In &C
comprising it he gratifed his
friends, and at the same time
he administered a severe re-
Duke to those who refused to
stand by him to the end.
Springer is an interchangeable
worker and by his action in
this struggle he has shown the
country that he possesses bet
ter metal than he has yet been
credited with. He has agreat
future before him if he will
but take care of himself. To
this end let him see that he
preserves his health. Most
members of congress give way
to some form of pulmonary
trouble. If Mr.. Springer will
take Reds German Cough
and Kidney Cure he will es-
cape all danger from this
source. This great remedy is
the best thing in the world for
coughs, colds and every form
of disease that attacks the re-
spiratory organs. This makes
it invaluable for men who
have to talk inpublic, especial
ly in open air. The remedy
contains no opiate, SO that it
can be taken at any time with
out fear of subsequent danger.
1t will cure all throat trouble
from simple hoarseness to the
worst form of bronchitis, You
can get it of any druggist, but
be sure to ask for Reds, and
take no other.

Stanford.

Senator Stanford of Cali
fornia has, it is said, become a
convert of spiritualism. The
senator is rich enough to be-
lieve anything he likes. 1t
will be interesting, though, to
ascertain whether the spirits
are urging him to make the
race for president on the alli-
ance ticket. The best thing
that the senator can do, if he
has made up his mind to run,
is to take Reds German
Cough and Kidney Cure with
diligence. This great remedy
is the best thing for the voice
that was ever put on the mar
ket. 1t contains no poison, but
is composed of pure and sim
pie materials that act at once
and relieve the lungs of all
trouble. For bronchial diff
culties it is without a rival. 1t
contains no opium so that it
does not paralyze the digest
ton but is relaxing, stimulat-
ing soothing and healing. OF
all cough remedies it is the
only one of which this can be
said. Aged persons will find
this of the greatest assistance
for it enables the system to
throw off the maladies that
are SO fatal in old age. In
cases of pneumonia it acts
every time with a certainty
that is marvellous. 1t has re-
peatedly brought health to
people whom the medical fac
ulty had pronounced to be be-
yond all hope. When you ask
for this great remedy at your
drug store be particular and
see that the druggist gives you
Reds and do not be put off
with something that he says is
just as good.

Where she was from or how she got

swered. What did you think it was, a

blush, as the passengers laughed.
What did they give it to me for
them she asked hotly.
"This is a railroad ticket" he ex-
planned, land is good only on the steam

"Aint these steam cars?' she asked in

"These cars, madam" he tried to ex-
plain, don't go to Bad Axe. They are
only on the streets in the city. We take
you up here to Brush street, and there
you get off and walk over three short
blocks to the railroad station and take a

Scientific Butter,

Science can do wonders,
The French claim now to
have so perfected the manu-
facture of oleomargerine that
it is better than the genuine
article as made by the COW.
This shows that science is ad-
vancing. 1t may be however,
that it is all a matter of taste.
A nation that : took kindly to
horse steaks as a diet and be-
came SO infatuated with them
during the siege of Paris that
it has chung to them ever since
may not be absolutely trusted
when it comes to a question of
distinguishing between good
and bad butter. Even in Chi
cago a butcher was discovered
lately who had been carving
steak from street car horses
and selling them to cheap
boarding houses, and no one
of the boarders had been able
to tell the difference. This
fact speaks volumes for the
educated Chicago palate.
There is however one thing
in whice therh is no adulterat-
ion and that is in Reds Ger
man Cough and Kidney Cure.
This respiratory organs. 1t
contains no poison but is COM
posed of pure and simple ma
terlal that acts at once and
will relieve the overburdened
lungs even when they are at
tackled by the worst form of
pleurisy. For ordinary mala-
dies such as colds, coughs,
Group and the like its results
are magical ynd wonderful.
Ask for Reds and take no
other, for of all the cough rem
edies on the market this is the
only one that contains no
poison.
