A REAL SURPRISE.
WHAT a FORMER CAPTAIN OF
POLICE SAYS ABOUT 1T.
An astonishing fact that ought to be
known by everybody. Cause Tor
alarm unless Immediate action
is taken.

Alexander Bell is a retired captain OF
the Portland, Maine, police force:
He has wonderful story to tell.
Now Mr.. Bell is an old Grand Army
man, indeed, was one of the founders OF
the famous Bosworth Post, GA. X, ana Is
widely known and much respecteu
throughout the State of Maine.
We will let him tell his remarkable sto-
ry in his own way:
~ have had two strokes of paralysis, the
first about four years ago, the second In
January, 1891 My left side was completely
paralyzed face drawn, arm and leg lmmoV-
able.
"On account of my advanced age OF 20
wears, and this being second attack, my
physician pronounced my case hopeless.
III was finally induced to try Dr.Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy and soon
began to improve, the muscles OF the race
straightened, then my arm began to gam,
and j began to walk after having useo
three BOTTLES OF this remedy.
"My arm / can now place TO my head
and have free use OF it, and with cane
have walked as far as two miles and hail.

THE CAPTAIN OF COMPANY 8.
His Men Had Sized Him Up Long Before
He Led Them Toward the Knoll.

His Men Had sized Him Up Long Before
He Led Them Toward the Knoll.
After the first year OF the war the
rank and file sized up an officer on his
merits within ten minutes of the OPEN
ing of battle. No matter how much
they saw of him in camp, no verdict
was rendered until he had been tried by
fire. While every man is a part of a
great machine in battle, the rank and
file moves only as directly commanded.
We depend not on each other. but on
the man IN command. He must be
brave; he must be cool: he must have
good judgment. He must know when
he IS whipped and how to retreat to the
best advantage
Many officers made the mistake OF
trying to pass off bravado for the Venu-
inc article. For instance. they talked
IN loud tones, not thinking that the
sharp-eared men could detect the
temor of their voices. If bullets and
shells were flying over the line
they would control their nerves and
not duck and dodge When they look
ed around for admiration they saw
faces wearing signs of doubt.
He Is holding himself up-he's no
good" was the criticism against each
officer, and it always had sure fonn-
dation.
Nobody had any sympathy for pri-
vate who became ratified, although il
was not always a sign Of cowardice. but
there was never a more pitiful sight
than the spectacle Of a captain break
ing down on the battlefield. Watch
him as the regiment suddenly receives
the order to move by the right flank
from the shelter OF the hill into an oDeu
field to FIJI a gap. Its his first fight.
In camp he has been bulldozer and a

The People Want Picker.

Pierre Capital: 1t is reported that
Judge Campbell, Of Brown county,
will be u candidate for Plokler's
place. Brown is a large county, is
noted for its prominent and loyal
Republicans, and is entitled to rec
ignition at the hands of the party,
but if the republicans of that Co.
expect to win in the State conyen.
ton, they should go after ome
thing in reach. The Republicans
of the State feel that they can not
spare Picker. His past services to
the party and the strength he will
bring to it this fall make it ALSO
lutely necessary that he be renomi-
mated. As a vote getter he has no
equal; as a worker ON the floor Of
congress he stands without a peer.
He was the only Republican in the
present congress who dared face a
Democratic house and assert his
rights. Three times Congressman
Pickler faced the brazen front of
Democracy, and on each occasion
won a victory. lie forced theiBri-
gadiers to respect the rights of the
soldiers, he stood between the DEM
ocracy and the Indian and forced
the former to retreat, he saw 10 it
that the Northwest was not depri.
we'd Of its shaIe in the River and
Harbor bill. The rank and file Of
the people demand his renomina-
ton, and the party a not afford to
ignore such demands.

You are mistaken, my friend, ii
you think it is the fault OF the
government that you are not rich.
No man can get rich and stand
around on the corner anc whine,
howl and complain. While you are
shouting socialism and cranklsm
generally, your ~neighbor hasn't got
the fate of the nation on his hands,
is plodding along, doug his duty
every day and getting rich, while
the mustard is gradually scooplng
in your farm. Next fall you will
vote for some independent for office
who is expected to fix things so you
can get a living by money being
made SO cheap you can have all you
want just for the asking, thus re-
versIng the fiat of God "By the
sweat of thy brow shalt thou earn
thy bread" When this government
becomes truly paternal, as is con-
templated IN your political code,
one of two things will inevitably
follow-anarchy, defiance of all law
human or divine, or the reduction
of the Republic into vile and hid
eous despotism, with your leaders
as its Antocrats. Asupine people,
apeopIe taught to rely on Tie gov
eminent for help in all times of
need, can not long remain Il free
