Reds German Cough and Kidney
('urp.

This great remedy is the best thing
for elderly people that was ever
brought to their notice. Many aged
people suffer severely from rheuma-
tiSm when it is the result of going
insuiiicicntly clad. They wear low
shoes and easily get their feet and
ankles chilled. The result is that
rheumatism attacks their limbs. and
they think that it is the effect Of old
age when it is only needless exposure.
The thing for elderly people to re-
member is that they must keep
warmly dressed, especially when the
nights are chilly. Then, if they feel
that they have taken cold, let them
get a bottle of REDS GERMAN CouGB
AND KIDNEY CURE. and take it regu-
larly until their circulation is re-
stored. In this way they can main
tain vigorous health until they reach
ripe old age. Old age is not difficult
to he borne if the incumbent is only
well. 1t is only when sickness comes
that renders it insupportable.

WHAT OF THE WEATHER
FOSTERS FORECASTS TELL
THE STORY.
The Weather Will Continue Very Warm
-DrOuth i'm the Cotton Belt-Wtnter
Will BE Late and Fall Wheat Should
BE SOWn Late.
Meteorological Matters.

My last bulletin gave forecasts Of the
storm wave to cross the continent from
18th to 2lst. and the next will reach the
Pacific coast about the 22d, cross the
Western mountains by the close of the
23d, the great central valleys from oath
to 26th, and the Eastern States about
the 9th.
The weather will continue to average
very warm, and the principal storm
waves and rainfalis Will range north
ward. Portions of the cotton belt will
suffer greatly from drouth, while in
some of the Upper Mississippi Valley
States excessive rains will occur.
A good stage of water for navigation
purposes will continue in the MISSISSIPPI
pi, Missouri and Ohio rivers.
In the Northern States the time for
fall blowing is near at hand, and the
ground is expected TO be in good condi
ton. with moisture sufficient to give
fall sown crops Il COOL start. Winter
will come late, we will have a late fall,
and the winter crops will make large
growth before the first of December,
therefore where Il large growth of fall
wheat is not desired, it will be best to
SOW late.
In the Southern States the weather
will be more favorable to winter garden
ing than last winter was.

RAvACHOL ENECUTED.
The Paris Murderer and Anarchist Loses
His Head Under the Guillotine.


His Head Under the Guttlotine.
Ravachol, the anarchist and murderer,
WIS guillotiucd in Paris early Monday
morning. When the PRISON van reached the
ratYoli Ravachol was asked II he desired
to say anything. He replied that he would
address the crowd, but instead of speaking
he began to sing an indecent song and
danced to the refrain as we'll as he
could with his ankles strapped. The
officers in charge soon tired Of this
burlcsqus and gave the signal to NJ.
Debler The exccutioners assistants
at once seized Ravachol. whereupon
the latter's demeanor suddenly changed.
He dropped his assumption of Indifference
and struggled furiously. but was speedily
ovcrpowered and borne to the fatal block.
Even while being tied down on the plank
he continued his futile struggles. utterinS
meanwhile the foulest epilhets and curses.
The indecent and blasphemous TRADE was
cut short by the swift descent of the knife.
and the head of the notorious robber. in
cendiary, and murderer rolled into the
basket. The crowd witnessed the horrible
sight with the same Indifference that had
characterized its conduct throughout. and
II was evident that no sympathy was felt
for the man who had pretended to commit
crimes in the interest OF the people
