WONDERS.
Four Which Are Most Certainly
Amazing.
SOMETHING WHICH HAS SET A
GREAT MANY TONGUES TALKING
And win Greatly Please and Particularly
Interest You.
WONDERS.

Wonders will never cease. The writer
having had four of these wonders come
under his personal knowledge, deems
them of enough Importance to be placed
before the readers of this paper.
So many people know David Noyes of
Manchester, N. j., that his own words
will be strongest: 81 suffered from
heart disease for six years, "he said, land
for the past two years was unable to do
any work whatever. | was told by my
physician that / could never get well. /
was also paralyzed on the right side,
from the hip down; and suffered severely
with lumbago, and trembling of the
hands. am now taking the seventh
nerve remedy, and feel entirely cured of
all these troubles and feel like well
man. 1t is the grandest medicine ever
made, and all my friends are amazed at
the cure.''
The second wonder, Mr.. Michael Crow
ley of "a Laight street, New York city,
will tell in his own way: Twas suffering
from inflammatory rheumatism, and
could not eat or sleep, and doctors pre-
scriptions had no effect to relieve me.
After taking two bottles of DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, | can
eat and sleep well. and think it has
saved my life. am getting better every
day. One week ago I could not walk,
now can walk mile. It is wonderful
medicine
The third wonder, S. A. Dysart of Nor
tondale, N. B., will tell himself: "For
the benefit of those who may be suffer-
ing and fail to find relief, I desireto state
my case. For over a year suffered
from heart disease, a constant pain,
with severe attacks of palpitation, until
anticipated q sudden death at any time.
became weak and debilitated, with a
loss of energy, despondency, etc. Hear
described my condition, that I deter
mined to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy. My improvement
has been continuous and rapid. / have
taken five bottles, and the pain and pal
pitation are gone. l sleep well, have an
excellent appetite and feel WE'LL
The fourth wonder is presented by
Mrs. F. G.. Hicks of 80 Avenue A, Wick
park, Rochester, n. Y. She says: 81
give this testimonial for the benefit of
others. had given up all hope of being
cured; had doctored and tried everything
My trouble was neuralgia of the stomach.
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy was recommended to me. I
took six bottles of it. 1t perfectly cured
me, andI earnestly recommend it to
all.''
Now when it is considered that this re-
markable medicine is purely vegetable
and harmless, and for sale by all drug
gists at $1.00, it seems strange that so
many people should unnecessarily
suffer from the pains and weakness of
disease when this sure and positive cure
is within the reach of all.
It is the discovery and prescription of
the eminent physician, DR.. Greene of "a
Temple Pl., Boston, Mass, who is with
out doubt the most successful specialist
in curing nervous and chronic complaints.
He can be consulted free, personally or
by letter.

A Handsome Harness.

Mr. T. B. Sheehan, the Preble street
harness maker, has just completed a
heavy and handsome double harness for
MI. Alley, the wealthy brewer of Bos-
ton. 1t has several improvements over
the ordinary harness, including a patent
collar and breeching, which protect the
animal from rain and from chatting. On
each binder is a heavy brass block letter
A. The traces are p inches wide, and
are strengthened by four rows of stitch
ing. The breeching has double layers,
with heavy swelled centre to prevent
chatting. On each of the cape collars APP
pear two-inch brass letters, spelling the
name of the owner. On the head piece
are the figures II, cut in brass. The ap-
pearance of the harness is enhanced by
strings of celluloid rings. The harness
altogether is handsome and substantial
piece of work, and is a credit to Mr..
Sheehan. The price of the harness was
S125. Mr.. Sheehan has several orders
from other Boston parties for similar
harnesses, and has been obliged to en-
large his establishment both as to room
and help.

came furiously around the corner. Mr..

great strength of his arms saved him Sc
rious injury. Bruised fingers, lame mus
cles and strained wrist remind him that
he had narrow escape from serious in

THAT Seven Trunked Drummer.

The Argus yarn yesterday about thu
drummer with the seven trunks ant
roguish blue eyes melted another drum

And the beautiful blue of the skies,
But today have heard of drummer
With twinkling, roguish blue eyes.
The joke and seven trunks / can stomach,
And also the bucolie old gent;
But the roguish blue eyes OF a drummer

got 'em sure" was his way of putting it.
Huston Working for Harrison.
j. \. Huston, ex-treasurer of the United
States, came to Minneapolis last evening
from his home in Connersville ind. He
comes here to work for Harrison giving
as his reason the belief that the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Harrison will be for the best
interests of the party. He circulated
freely among both groups of partisans and
says the Blaine men are all wrong in their
estimates and that Blaine's resignation
takes him outside the pale Of possibilities.
Would be Happy With Either.
Murat Halstead would be happy with
either were t'other dear charmer away"
"Well," he said, "as near as / can get at
it there are a trif1e under 400 votes sure for
Harrison and about the same number for
Blaine, leaving aBo It 80 whose preferences
are undecided or unknown. These will
determine the result of the contest. For
me it is a rather embarrassing position. ]
cannot speak very strongly for either Mr..
Blaine or Mr.. Harrison as against the
other" He thought that the 80 "uncer
tainties" when they saw the situation
would drop both and nominate a dark
horse.
Sewell on New Jersey.
The New Jersey delegation is here. Gem
eral Sewell heads it and is an ardent Har-
rison man. He says eighteen of the dele
gates are with him and hopes to convert

ters and announced that they would vote

Dakota, Is on the same side and says he Is
satisfied with the situation. Ex-Governor

Harrison has kept every pledge of the 1888
platform and ought to be renominated.

Saturday night a number Of contests
were settled by the committee. The re-
suits were as follows: In the District Of
Columbia case Perry Carson, the negro
leader, won the fight. In Maryland the
regular delegates in the contested district
were seated. In the Fort Wayne, Ind,
trouble White got the cold shoulder, his
delegation being refused recognition. The
regulars from South Carolina gained the
victory, but the regulars from the New
port and Covington districts in Kentucky
lost the fight. The Lynch delegates-at-
large from Mississippi were also defeated
partially, being given half vote and the
the contestants half a vote each.
Estimates Arc All the Rage.
A number of gentlemen, including some
newspaper men, are making estimates.
Harrison's managers have been taking
careful poll, but admitted that many were
only approximate. They asserted that
Harrison could rely on few more
than 500 votes. Frank Hatton sent to his
paper an estimate of S66 for Harrison and
30l for Blaine, the latter all from the north.
If Harrison could hold the south he would
get there An estimate credited to Rose

How the Crowd Went Wild.

The old familiar cry of Blaine, Blaine,
James G. Blaine" was heard on every
hand. The crowds on the streets were
shouting it, and at intervals the crowds in
the hotel corridor took it up. Then there
was counter-demonstration by the Harri-
son people, and the noise was deafening,
the confusion indescribable. Men with
leathery lungs were hoisted into the air
and carried about on the shoulders of their
friends, waving flags and shouting with
all their might. In the midst of the con-
fusion the excited Mr.. Shiel picked up
great big flag with picture of Harrison
pinned to it and waved it aioft. a dozen
enthusiasts seized his legs and hoisted him
high into the air In this way he rode
across the corridor swaying from side to
side but never ceasing for a moment his
Cry OF Harrison"
The Campaign SonGster Pipes Up.
The crowd howled in sympathy a min
ute later a small boy was lifted up hold
ing high a picture of Blaine in his out
stretched hand. A well aimed missile
tore it down the center and the small boy
dropped out of sight, while the crowd
surged backward and forward laughing,
cheering and yelling incoherently. The
campaign songster was on hand with a
thorough assortment of doggerel set to the
tune of John Browns Body" or Good
Bye, My Lover. Good Bye" His voice
rose above the din fair tiy until he came tc
the chorus Then lGo 7'ices took up the
refrain and kept It g"iIIg until wild and
ru shing opposition scattered their force:
to the four corners of the lobby. And
that is the effect the resignation of Blaine
has had on the factions. 1t has set thu
Blaine men wild and made the Harrison
men more deffermined and equally en-
