The Result of Merit.


among discriminating people like the
Americans, it is pretty good evidence that there
is merit somewhere. The value of medicine
is best proved by its continued use from year
to year by the same persons and families, as
well as by steady increasing sale. Few, II
any, medicines have met with such continued
success and popularity as has marked the in
PRODUCTION and progress of BRANDRETH's
PILLS, which, after trial OF over fifty years,
are conceded to be the safest and most effect
I'VE purgative and blood purifier introduced to
the public.
That is the result of merit, and that BRAND
RETH's PILLS actually perform all that IS
claimed for them, is conclusively proved by the
fact that those who regard them with the great
est favor are those who have used them the
longest.
BRANDRETH's PILLS are sold in every drug
an medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

CObONni' niSilAA'' Mexican war, anu
in the rebellion was the fighting colonel
Of the Forty-ninth Illinois. He and
Logan were wounded on the same battle
field, and in the hospital their cots stood
side by side. Like Logan, he had left
congress to go to the front, and it was
not until ten years had passed that he
came back to sit in the house OF repre-
sentatives.
That same congress-the Forty-third-
also brought Roger Q. Mills, Of Texas,
into public notice. Four years after
ward. in 1877, Carlisle appeared as the
representative Of the Kentucky district
which lies just across the river from Gin
cinnati. In the list of committees OF the
next congress after Carlisle's arrival, or
the Forty-sixth. we find these threenames
together, under the title Committee on
Ways and Means" William R. Morrison,
of illinois; r. @. Mills, of Texas, and
John q. Carlisle, Of Kentucky.
Then and there was formed that warm
friendship which has had such an i'm
portant bearing upon the history of
politics and legislation in America. Ran
dali was speaker then and apparently
the invincible leader Of the Democratic
party in the commons. But the alliance
of three forceful, ant bilious men had not
then begun to show it's power. The
next congress. the Forty-seventh, was
Republican, but the Democrats had con-
troll of the Forty-eighth, and greatly to
the surprise of Mr.. Randall and his
friends the veteran was beaten for his
old place by a new man from Kentucky
who had served only three terms.
When the ways and means committee
of that house was announced William
r. Morrison's name led the list as chair
man, and next to his was that of Roger
q. Mills. Then came the effort to pass
a 80 called tariff reform bill prepared
chiefly by Morrison, Mills and Carlisle,
but known as the Morrison bill. It was
defeated. But in the Fiftieth congress,
when Morrison had been defeated for re-
election by Jehu Baker, the effort was
renewed by Mills, who had become chair
man of the committee on ways and
means His bill passed the house, but
failed to become law owing to the fact
that the senate was Republican. 1t was,
however, the chief issue between the
parties in the presidential campaign OF
| 1888.

ALL ABOUT A QUILT.

The little town of Oxford, in Sumner
county, is all torn up over quilt and
there is now pending in their courts what
IS known as the quilt case' and is one
that promises to rival the Jones county
calf case. where Sc calf was the innocent
cause of some Iowa farmers paying g, 100
court costs.
A trial has just been ended at Yelling
ton wherein George Paul was found guilty
of stealing quilt and for which he was
fined $50 and costs amounting in all to
S92.10. The case was promptly appealed
and again the attorney, witnesses and jul

star" and all the famous patterns dear
to every housewife who.saves scrapt and
pieces quilts.
1t seems that or the 18th of November,
1891, while Mrs. Will Morrill, and Mrs.
Perry Binkley were attending the Meth
odist church with relatives, some one took
a quilt from each of their wagons and
they did not learn who took them, nor
were the quilts ever returned. On Jan. 6
of this year George Paul, young man of
some prominence and well known through
ont the vicinity of Oxford, was in that
city, and Mrs. Binkley saw quilt in his
wagon which she recognized as the one
which was stolen from her. Paul said
that the quilt was his; had been given to
him. Mrs. Binkley did not believe his
statement and had him arrested and a
search warrant issued by which
the quilt WAS secured. The first
trial resulted in hung jury,
and so famous has the case become
jury. Mrs. Binkley WAS the principal
witness for the prosecution. she had
made, about fifteen years ago, two quilts
exactly alike, except in the arrangement
of colors. The quilt which has beer
stolen was one of these. She brought the
other quilt and from it perfectly described
the stolen one as it was afterward
exhibited to the jury. She gave the
details of the material furnished,
the sewing of the goods in blocks, etc.
For the defense, the defendants father
and mother-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Bonnewell. who had resided near Oxford
for twenty-five years, and sisters-iu-law
were introduced. They swore that the de-
PENDANT war married in October, 1891. that
he had begun housekeeping November 5th,
1891, and that the quilt in question had
been given him at that time. The details
of the quilts making were set forth, but
the sisters-in-law disagreed as to the time
of making, one saying two years and one
four years, before. The jury, after being
out six hours. brought in verdict of guilty

but at the last moment Mr.. Eckstein, one

the date was then set for the 10Th and it
given out that nothing would pre-
vent the performance coming off but the
destruction of the world. The world is still
circulating around the stars at its regular
gait, but the show has not come off. 1t is
postponed again for the unforeseen reason
that three of the mem bers of the company
belonged TO the militia and had to ac-
company their commands to Topeka yes
terday.
The matter has given good deal of I'M
easiness to the company for they were eX-
ceedingly anxious TO appear lass night and
very much regret that circumstances con-
spired TO disappoint the public again
They have not set another date yet, not
knowing how long Governor Lewelliug
will keep the army at Topeka, but it Is
very probable that the play will be pre-
scented next Monday night. in which event
due and timely notice will be given. The
delay, of course, will only add TO the op-
portunity for the players to become more
proficient and as a result the show will be
better. The theater goers who are eager
to see the Merchant of Venice" may not
see the disappointment In this Light, but
it is so nevertheless.
