Queer Claims Against TIL,

Queer Claims Against the Government
The government has to defend itse1
against many cranky claimants. One man
wants $3.50 for cutting the corns OF sol
diers during the rebellion. Another per
son desires SIS in payment for pair OF
trousers which were eaten off a clothes
line in 1876 by government goat In
Brooklyn there is a citizen who petitions
for $500 in settlement for a calf killed by a
cattle inspector. who put tin tag through
the animals nostrils and caused olooo
poisoning. Another applicant wants 81;
for the stealing and taking away of one
sky blue horse. "-Washington Letter

But there is one subject
on which all physicians are
completely in accord, and
that is the value of cod-liver
oil in consumption and scro-

tons in which the loss of fat

oil has its greatest usefulness
in SCOTS Emulsion.

rEottle Scared Rums.n

THE pension fraud is theft, and
we repeat that no man can honestly
defend it. The south has been tax
ed to death to pay this grand army
Of rascals-these bottle-scared buns
who reach i'll the palm; and when
Cleveland struck the beggars in the
face he did a good business job. We
hope TO GOO that he may have a
chance to hit 'em again. Migrants
aud incidents should be both vig-
orously slapped and kicked"
The above is from the North Car
DINA Globe, a democratic newspaper
at Durham, that state. How do the
old soldiers like such sentiments
anyhow. VIII many Of them vote
10 assist Grover Cleveland into the
Presidential chair.

While the Lecder man is exercis-
ing his most vivid Imagination to
unearth some fraud and expose it,
would it not be consistent for him
to turn a ray Of his dull glimmering
light upon one of his own political
household and discover one of the
rottenest damnable frauds that was
ever attempted to be perpetrated
upon q community. We have re-
ference to the red-handed attempt
Of Hance Murphey and his gang, to
to thawart the will of the people in
the city election this spring. This
was one Of the most dastardly and
villanous pieces Of chicanery ever at.
temped where the williams went un-
hung. Did the Leader man utter a
protest against this outrage? Did
he print a single line in condemna-
ton Of this fraud? Not much. In
stead he stood in with the rascals
and attempted TO defend them.
What q canting, lying hypocrite.

HGmFh 8.a
Chever Blair returned on Tuesday
from his trip down in Nebraska to
look after his fathers estate who
died a couple Of weeks ago. He
found that his father died very sud-
denly from heart disease. Mr. Blair
owned a couple quarter sections Of
land and lived all alone, his nearest
neighbor living about n mile away.
1t seems that he was in the habit Of
hauling water from his neighbors
well and on the day he died
he went over there for water
taking a small jag of hay along
which he had promised the neigh
Dor. After he had pitched the hay
off he layed down under the wagon,
stating that he did not feel well.
The neighbor finally pursuaded him
to 90 into the house and take dinner
which was then ready. He sat down
to the table took a few mouthfulls
OF food when he dropped back in
his chair dead. Chever says he has
heard his father complain a number
Of times before he left here, eight
years ago, Of having slight touches
of heart disease. Mr.. Blair had his
farm we'll s~tocked.wish horses, but
no other stock.
Mr.. Kancher with a force Of mill
wrights will commence on the 18th
