Tn. Confederate Po.tofiiee Records.

WASHINGTON CRY, April n. special. +

by the postoftice department rather than
by another department of the government.
There seems to be no positive proof that
the sums set down in the books were actu-
ally disburscd by the Confederate post
Office department or that they were paid
TO the persons against whose names they
appear. There was nothing in the entries

payments relate, or the period OF
service which they covered, and
it was not demonstrated that

THE DEAD DAY.

The argent and imperial Day,
For all his wealth was msde TO yield
He passed bis gate Of palms and lay
Far out pom HIS battered shield;
Lay calm and kng-lfke, with red garments
rolled
In blood, and cleaning burnishments Of gold.
Then queeuly nigh. came down and swathsd
The king In soTnber yestrnents new.
She bowed her face above and bsthed
His eyes In darkness and in dew.
And closed ana kissed them softly an she slid
Aside the dead kings silvered coffin lid.
Come startipt candles foot and head;
Sweet perfumes of the perfumed sea
And then above her coli ned dead
She drew great curtains lovingly;
And che hooked them on the bent moons
HON,
Unloosed her hair, and mourned and mourned
till morn.

The controversy arising from ''the higher
criticism" of Rev. DR.. Briggs who has
been tried for heresy. will change the
complexion of the Interchangeable" creed.
In the very nature of things every human
device Is prone to change. Pray, why
should medicine be the exception to the
rule? The Histogenetic system is the
newest change and is head and shoulders
above the old and effete systems" Have
you progressed mentally sufficiently to

CATARRHAL ASTHMA.
ITS EVIL CONSEQUENCES TO THE
LUNGS.
A Husbands Letter Describing His wifes
Curs-A Grateful
Family.

T. w. Montgomery, OF Huntington,
Pa, under date of December %, 1891,
gave the following story to press re-
porter, which will, doubtless, interest
many of our readers. He said: "My
wife was severely afflicted with what
developed into severe attack OF
asthma, and i wrote to the Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Company as to
the propriety of giving her Pe-ru-na.
They answered me, advising me to
give it to her, and enclosed special
directions, which we followed
carefully, and with the best
results possible. 1 have been waiting
Ito see if there would be any symp-
toms of return of the trouble, but
am happy to say that my wife appears
to be fully recovered, and has been
ever since and is now enjoying as
good health as ever in her life. Pc
ru-na is a great medicine"
Asthma is of three varieties-catar-
rhal, spasmodic and periodic (hay
fever). The above case was one of the
catarrhal variety, which is, by far,
the most common kind. Catarrh of
the head or throat soon begins to ex-
tend downwards through the bron-
chial tubes to the lungs, when it
will cause asthma or consumption.
In case it produces asthma it
causes loose cough with much ex-
pectoration, shortness of breath at the
least exertion, with spells of very diff
ficult breathing.
Pe-ru-na is sure cure for this con-
dition, as we'll as for all other Ca
tarrhal diseases. Catarrh of all
stages, wherever located, soon yields
to the beneficent action of this rem
edy. Pe-ru-na is the only medicine
that has stood the test of time as Ca
tarrh remedy. 1t acts agreeably and
cures permanently.

of all catarrhal diseases and consump-
ton sent free to any address by the

OUR COUNTY POLITICS.
Some Speculation on the ApI reaching
Campaign.

Some Speculation on the ApI reaching
Campaign.
Who will the candidates be in the
approaching race for county offices?
is just now the most interesting topic
of conversation heard on our streets.
For some reason or other the citizens
who have political aspirations seem
very backward in declaring them
selves, and as result an air of mys-
terry seems to pervade the political
atmosphere.
On account of it's Importance the
greatest interest centers around the
county judgship. While Judge Won
Rosen berg, the present incumbent,
has not formally anpounced his can
didacy it is positively known that he
will make the race, believing that his
record for the past two years has been
such as to warrant further recognition
at the hands of the people. That he
will have an opponent is
pretty generally believed, but
the question as to who
it will be is still matter of doubt
Mr.. George Calhoun, so it is stated,
has said he would go into the conven-
tion if the fight was to be between
him and Judge Won Rosenberg, but
should another candidate enter the
race he would withdraw as he had no
inclination to go into three cornered
fight.
The race for the Office of county
treasurer is at present the only one
that is in any way clearly defined, it
being the only one in which there are
two candidates now in the field
Judge Stuart, straight out Demo-
GRAFT, and Ed. Anderson, In
dependent. There has been no
talk of anyone opposing Judge Stuart
in the convention, and there seems to
be little doubt but that he will secure
the nomination, and then the fun will
begin.
For the office of county clerk, in
opposition to Mr.. Frank Brown, there
is some talk of Mr.. John o. johnson
or Gen. Henry E. Shelley making the
race, while Mr.. John w. Kelly is said
to be figuring on running against Mr..
Morris again.
1t is not thought there will be any
opposition to District Clerk Hart, Tax
Assessor Metz or Sheriff White.

DENIsoN, Tex, April 1.-The body
of Gustav Weight whose mysterious
disappearance and probable suicide
has been reported in The STATEs-
MAN, was found yesterday in Red
River at Blue Bluff, about five miles
below the spot where Voight's clothes
were found. The body was entangled
in a fisherman's seine and was SO
badly bruised and swollen as
to be almost unrecOgnizable.
The body was brought into
town and identified. 1t was subse-
quently burned under the direction OF
the Sons of Hermann. 1t is now be-
lieved that Voight did not commit
suicide but that he went into the
water to battle and got into the quick
sand or else was seized with cramps.
No sign of revolver shot and no
marks of violence were found OH his
body.
