Cast your eye back owe what has
been accomplished by President liar
rison's administration, and you will
see that it has been making history
quite rapidly. Six new states have
been added to the Union-thc two
Dakotas, Washington, Montana, Idaho
and Wyoming. Oklahoma has been
organized as a territory, with an area
four times as large as the state of
New Jersey; the administration has
opened to settlement a portion of the
Sioux country three times as large as
the state of Massachusetts, and will
soon add thereto an area from the
Crow reservation in Montana as large
as Connecticut. These vast areas are
rapidly filling up with a population
OF typical Americans, and their in
iiuence will be felt heavily in the
census of 1900. The political re-
apportionment which will follow il
win carry the balance of political
power far away TO the West, from
New York and the pivotal states.

HUNTING WITH A MULE.

Mr.. Theodore Winde, Chicago
young man, used to go down into
Arkansas every fall for a few weeks
hunting. He had quite a circle of
friends among the people in the
Ozark country, and whatever they
could do for his entertainment was
always donewith a promptness and |
freedom that made the gift doubly |
welcome. They were great fellows
to hunt foxes, and chose clearmoon-
light nights for this choicest of
sports. He had gone with them on
a good many other chases, but had
never yet followed the hounds after
night, and expressed wish to do so.
The family with which he had
been stopping had good horse that
had given him an excellent mount
on the daylight runs, but it was so
spirited that he did not care to ride
it on a night chase. So neighbor
offered to exchange with him, Civ
ing mule instead. All the young
men in the country told him the
mule was a famous hunter, and that
it would follow the hounds through
fire and water, and that all he had
to do was to hang on. But on the
evening of the meet, when they had
gathered at the edge of the wood,
he concluded that the mule affair
was their way Of playing a joke on
the city young man.
Mr. Winde gives, through the
Chicago Herald, the following ac-
count of his experience in the hunt:
"That mule stood there by the
fence with his head down, his halt
er loose and nothing to keep him
from running away in the excite
ment of that time Of preparation.
/ thought it was a joke, but got
down from the spirited horse and
got ready to mount the mule, think
ing if they wanted a little fun with
me they might have it; they had
earned it.
"'Now, you can ride, can you p
asked the mules owner.
"'Well, l guess | can ride that
mule l answered.
"When he gets ready to run,
don't you try to hold him-Just let
him go, and hang on
Il said, All right, and got up on
the beast, and he never stirred a
muscle. There were about twenty
Of US, and there must have been a
hundred hounds. Some of them
were old fellows and knew their bus
mess, and some were younger, and
some of them were just taking their
first lesson in hunting. We start

the rear, and me kicking him with
my heels and trying to get him tc

ton. In accepting it the Committee
refers to the campaign of 1888 as 1.-THE
odds of the contest being against the
Republican party" and puts on record
the following splendid tribute to the
services rendered by Senator Quay in
that campaign: "By his matchless
power, his unequalled skill 10 resources,
his genius to command victory, won
for his party an unprecedented victory
in the face of expected defeat We
know. as no one else can know, that
the contest which he waged was one of
as much honor and fair methods as il
was of invinoible power and a trium.
phal victory, and that it was won
largely by the power of his superior
generalship and his unfailing strength
as political leader. 10 the great
contest of 1883, in the months of Sc
we're effort and the years of these per.
soDal associations with him, we have
learned to know the nobility of the
man and we desire in this conspicuous
manner to place on public record for
the present and for the future as an
enduring answer to the partisan as.
saults of defeated enemy, our testi.
mony in appreciation of his party
services and his personal worth"

cure of this dread disease a certainty, and
has never failed. Even when the disease
has made frightful inroads on delicate con-
stitutions, hearing, smell and taste have
been recovered and the disease thoroughly
driven out.
Chronic Diseases.
The Doctors treat no acute disease, but
make an entire specially of chronic and
long standing disease. Cases given up by
other Doctors and pronounced incurable,
they most desire to see. The Doctors have
treated over Il, 600 cases in Ohio in the last
twelve years, many of which had been
given up as incurable, some to be blind,
and others deaf. and large number to be
invalids for life. But behold nov they
see and hear and many are started ON the
high road to recovery every month. The
Doctors are surrounded with the largest
collection of fine instruments ever inl-
ported to this country for examining and
treating all chronic diseases of the head,
face, eye, ear, throat, heart lungs, stom-
ach, liver, kidneys, bladder, skin, brain
and nervous system, cancers, tumors, piles,
swellings, old sores, fits, paralysis, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, dropsy, gout, sick
headache, debility, depression of spirits,
diseases of children, hereditary diseases of
all long standing chronic diseasCN
Rectal Diseases.
They also make a specially of all forms
of Rectal Diseases, piles-internal and ex-
ternal, itching and bleeding, rectal ulcers,
hstula--which are often taken for cancer
Gus and lung diseases, all cured if taken
in time. Remember we cure all forms of
piles without pain, interruption or deten-
ton from business, and without the use
of knife, caustic, liguture or injection.
