Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-08-11

WHEN a couple of sailors were
killed in Chilli, the Washington Off
Gals pranced and talked of armies
and gunboats and war. When an
armed force invaded Pennsylvania,
under pay of an Englishman who
lives in a castle, to shoot down a lot
of Woodworking mill operatives, the
government is silent and assists the
robber barons with an army. You
can readily see that this is poor
mans country. kansas Commoner.

If "every field of waving grain

distinguished hummer from the
Fifth district says, it must be that
the number of Republican votes in
creases as the price of grain goes
down. Perhaps he means that

much more money for the railroads
so that they can afford to buy
voters in Tennessee and ship them

Fell seventy-fve Feet and Lived.

When the Owl train on the West Penn
railroad left Blairsville Monday even
ing Conductor Jim McNulty had among
his passengers one Alfred Anderson,
who lives near Social Hall bridge, about
two and a half miles west of town.
When nearing the flag station at the
bridge Mr.. Anderson arose from mis-
seat, went to the platform of the car
and stepped off before the train had
come to a stop. The rear car had not
fully cleared the bridge, and when An
derson landed from the moving train he
could not recover from the impetus
given him and went over into the Cone
maugh river below, dropping fully sew
enty-five feet.
Fortunately for him the river at this
point is deep, there being about fifteen
feet of water. The trainmen and pas
sengers were Mortified. Conductor Nc
Nulty and Brakemen Kelley and Beat
ty went back to look for him. Brake
man Charley Beatty held his lantern
aloft and called into the darkness below,
not expecting to receive an answer. To
the surprise of everybody present, An
derson answered that he would be all
right just as soon as he could swim out.
He reached the shore and scrambled up
the bank, none the worse except for a
slight scratch on one of his wrists.-Indi-
ana Gazette.

A Practical Joke.

The British sense of humor frequently
finds its expression in practical jokes,
and the young ''scion of the aristocracy"
enjoys with artless glee a species of fun
that an American would feel was adapt
ed only for schoolboys. The following
playful manifestation is reported from
over the water as having recently oc-
Cured in we'll known country house.
A pompous and very dignifed member
of the government arrived at friends
house where he was due for a weeks
visit, and was met at the door by tall
footman whose familiar and impudent
greeting Immediately aroused the ire of
the old gentleman. He mentally re-
solved to report the fellows insolence to
his master.
What was his surprise and horror,
however, when the servant, assuming
the attitude of prize fighter about to
begin operations, danced around him,
intercepting his movements at every
turn. sIs the man mad?' thought the
startled statesman; surely he has taken
leave of his Senses" In vain he spoke
soothingly to the supposed maniac; the
creature, who was of huge proportions,
circled threateningly around him, and
it was only after few minutes of really
uncomfortable anxiety that the indig-
nant guest found himself the victim of
little practical joke on the part Of the
eldest son of his host.-New York Trib-
me.

The Ice Men.

The wholesale dealers in ice are again
worried, as they have been off and on
for the past ten years. Their experience
of two years ago has taught them that
if ice does not make in the Hudson by
the 1st of January it is not likely to
make at all during the season. The
agents of these companies are securing
the entire country to the far north of
New York and New England and have
contracted for ice privileges on Sara
toga, Lake Champlain and Lake George,
and have been compelled to pay pretty
stiff prices therefor.
Meanwhile the making of artificial ice
fourishes, and at the great hotels and
offices Of the railroad companies, which
are beginning to use it, it is giving
greater satisfaction than natural ice,
partly because there is less wastage,
partly because is comes in blocks of as
certained weight and partly because it
is made of distilled water. Some of the
natural ice dealers are of the opinion
that it will ultimately supplant natural
ice harvesting, and it is sure to do so if
the climatic change toward mildness of
season is to be regarded as permanent.

A Novel Mesmerio Trial.

Once more the Wolverhampton mag
istrates have adjourned the hearing of
the case against Harry Moores, alias
CDR" Vint, the mesmerist. Moores gave
an exhibition in that town of his alleged
powers of hypnotizing, but, according to
the charge of the town clerk, who is
conducting the prosecution, the whole
business was fraud concocted between
the accused and certain confederates.
One of the hypnotist's subjects deposed
that he went every night and received
payment for his performances A Jour-
nalist who was present deposed that he
saw hypnotized persons lying on the
floor who "winked at each other" and a
police constable stated that when he
proposed to stick pin into one of these
supposed unconscious persons Ito see if
he was really in a mesmeric Sleep" the
operator threatened Ito have him locked
up"
On the other hand DR.. Vint's legal
adviser proposed, by way of practical
test of his clients powers, to give an ex-
hibition in court with one who had been
mesmerized before. When this was de-
clined he offered then and there to mes
merize the magistrates clerk-a proposal
which, though it caused laughter, ap-
pears to have been deemed equally
unacceptable. The case is exciting
much interest in the town on account of
its novelty. The town clerk himself has
observed that he did not know whether
there had ever been similar case in
court of justice, but Wolverhampton,
he added, is noted for legal precedents.

We will call your attention to the fact that
the colored dress goods which we had on sale
during the past week will remain SO during the

other circumstances we could not offer to sell

In colored and figured India silks we are sell
ing a line of "a inch at 45c. We do not want
to confuse these goods with the quality that is
being sold at 3715c, and which will not hold
thread. The latter Is the cheapest made. We
won't have it in our house. In purchasing
silks. no matter whether they are ours or 9th
ers. always try the strength of the material.
and you Will find these cheap silks are nothing
but tissue paper The silk we offer you is a
grade that was sold at Csc, and we warrant
these goods to give wear and satisfaction. In
selling our silks, dress goods or any fabric in
the house we do so with an implied guarantee
that they will give wear and satisfaction to the
purchaser. otherwise we stand ready at any
time to make it good.

Hundreds of Professors.

In the counties of Luzerne, Schuylkill,

are 479 men who insist upon the title of

four sluggers or professors of sparring,"
nine dancing masters, two oyster openers
and twelve drink mixers or bartenders.

The past week has brought us lots of new
goods in every department of the house. Supe-
rior classes of merchandise which we have
only handled in small quantities we have
elaborated on in every detail. Our experience
with the better class of goods in the past six
months has been so complimentary that we
have been induced to go into it to its fullest
extent. AS oui ratio of profit is uniform, you
will fnd all classes of goods sold in like pro-
portion AS far as price is concerned, you will
always find us under any house in town, and
if, perchance, it should happen that we are
not, we will consider it a kindness to be in
formed by our patrons and will make our
prices even lower than any quotation men
toned. Those of our patrons who remember
our domestic department in the center aisle OF
our store, and the difficulty experienced in
reaching these counters, owing to, the large
number OF purchasers to be served and the
limited space, will find more accommodation
and a larger stock in new quarters, formerly
occupied by our dress goods department. 1t is
the height of our ambition, now that the dress
goods and silk stocks are moved to the center
aisles, to line these counters with as eager and
expectant patrons purchasing silks and dress
goods as were formerly wont to occupy the
same space buying cotton fabrics. 1t requires
time, but with the inducements that we hold
out it must eventually come.
We shall offer a line of AS inch plaid wool
dress goods in gray effects; you Will find them
to be the cheapest mel chandise ever sold by
any establishment in the known world; mind

Methods of London Thieves.

At the next assizes in London the trial
of new kind of thieves promises to be
interesting. Their method was to visit
unoccupied houses in the outskirts of
the city in the daytime. They drove up
in an elegant carriage, and when they
found nobody at home the house was
marked. In the night they came in a
wagon, broke into the house and carted
off their booty. When it turned out that
they were mistaken and that parties
were in the house they simply offered to
sell photographs and albums. One Of
the members rode bicycle and took his
notes of the houses that were good for
robbing. Mr.. and Mrs. Clarke were the
leaders of the gang They lived in one
of the suburbs, were highly respected
by all their neighbors and were extern
sively invited to tea parties, dinners, etc.

BRONCHITIS.


Bronchitis is an Inflammation of the mucous
membrane of the bronchial tubes, and is one of
the most common of the pulmonary affections.
Chronic bronchitis more often appears later in
life Whena cold settles on the lungs the disease
either ends in bronchitis or pneumonia. If it
ends in bronchitis it usually passes off as cold
on the chest, and still the patient does not feel
entirely well. He feels tired and languid, and
is incapable of taking his usual amount of
exercise and experiences shortness of breath
with more or less warmth in the palms of the
hands. Soon after this cough appears, ac-
companied by an expectoration of thick mu-
cous, followed by a hectic flush, loss of flesh
and strength, and night sweats continue, when
the patient assumes all the appearance of hav-
ing genuine case of consumption. But this
is simply catarrh of the lungs or chronic bron-
ehitis.
and suffocation, being unable to expectorate
the mucous which accumulates in the passage
leading to the lungs, which in some cases is
sticky and small in quantity, but more com
monty copious, OF light straw or yellowish
green.
site Of the above, is very common affection
Very many people, who regard themselves as
quite healthy, are today under its influence
and are slowly but surely becoming the vic
Tins of this treacherous complaint. This is
the most insidious of all pulmonary diseases.
There may at first be slight, hacking cough
cous And herein lies the danger. This mu.
cous, inhabiting the air cells of the lungs, be-
ing difficult to raise, after time becomes solid
flied, permanently obstructing portions of the
lungs, causing shortness of breath and q feeling
of oppression on the chest, particularly after
meals or on slight exertion. After q time the
cough becomes more severe and comes on in
parOxysms, and as the shortness of breath in
creases it almost assumes the character of asth-
ma. The mucous membrane also becomes
more and more thickened, which arises from the
frequent fresh colds, and the patient at last
becomes fully aware of the terrible changes that
have taken place and the inevitable results that
are to follow.

durable, but with these. aided with our Medi-
