A SERIOUS FALL,

Wednesday evening of last week as Miss
Bessie Huston was descending the stair
way at home, n of her ankles rave way
and she fell headlong down the stairs,
seriously bruising her hips and back. So
excruciating was the pain she endured
that it was feared she had received serious
and permanent injury to her spinal
column and to hip joints, but such fears
have happily proved u%nfounded. She is
badly bruised, and cannot yet ndure
being turned in bed, but the physician,
DIR. p. S. FnIkerson, does not apprehend
lasting injury. The prospects are on the
contrary that the fair sufferer will soo
be on her feet again, and once more dis
p~ensing sunshine and cheer from her
merry eyes and RANT lips. All her friends,
and they are legion, hope so at least, and
to that hope the INTELLIGENCER swings
in a hearty amen.

SPRING TIME
The Best Season OF the Year To Treat
Chrome Catarrh.

Notwithstanding that Il great number
of people have been cured of chronic
catarrh by taking Pc-rl-na during the
past cold season, yet it cannot he denied
that the cold, wet, stormy winter has
retarded many cures, and i'll some cases
actually prevented Il cure. But, after
unusual delay, spring time has come at
last, and now is the time for all catarrh
sufferers to begin a systematic course of
treatment for this disease. The greatest
difficulty in the way of treating chronic
catarrh is that the patient is 81 liable to
catch cold during the treatment, and
thus delay a cure. This liability at this
season of the year is, in Il great measure
removed, and no one should neglect the
opportunity to begin treatment. Send
for free catarrh book.
As a spring medicine Pe-ru-na is a
never-failing remedy. 1t cleanses the
blood through digestion, and gives tone
to the whole system by increasing the
nutritive value of the food. 'SprinG
fever" as it is sometimes called, which
produces a tired-out, sleepy feeling, and
inability to do much mental or physical
work, is the result of Il sluggish diges
ton, and no blood medicine will be OF
any use whatever unless it is able t.
rectify the impaired digestion. Tht
great popularity that Pe-ru-na has i!
due to the fact that in all such cases i

THE MONEY BAGS ORGAN.

The Massachusetts money lenders
organ at Kansas City, the Times, says
that the west has been for a parity of
gold and silver since 1873.
just so. But how is that parity to be
maintained except by treating both
metals alike.
This fact is patent to all who are
~conversant with the history of the two
metals;
AS long as both metals received the
same treatment at the minis, Just so
long was the parity of the two main
TUNED upon the established ratio.
In 1856 when Prussia and Switzerland
demonetized gold, because the money
lenders and income classes of Europe
came to fear their bonds would be paid
in cheap gold, that metal suffered a
slight drop in its bullion value.
Never until the demonstration of
, silver by the United States did the value
of silver fall below that of gold on theil
established ratios.
Why will not our down eastern money
sharks and their western hirelings per,
NIT themselves to comprehend the sub,
stantial fact that one cannot arrive al
the real value of anything as long as il
is deprived of its principal usefulness
The principal use of silver has been tc
make money of it. Depriving it of its
money function has had the same effect
upon its commodity value as would the
depriving wheat of its bread functions
have upon the value of that cereal.
The people of the west know that al
debts are payable in dollars.
They know that 4I24 grains of stand
ard silver coined by the government is {
dollar and of equal paying power OF
purchasing power as a gold dollar Of
lawful coinage, weight and fineness.
They are in favor of continuing the
coinage of silver dollars just as they art
in favor of coming gold dollars.
Well they know that if the coinage OF
money is to be confined to gold only
that inasmuch as there is only One-hal1
as much gold mined annually as there is
of silver, that the money circulation
will o o be only one-third what it is
now.
With the reduction of the money
volume will come a doubling up, a treb
ling up of debt, in that it will take
twice as much wheat, corn, cotton, pork
or beef to pay, as now-twice as many
days, thrice as many days labor to buy
q five dollar bill as now.
The people of the west don't want to
surrender everything TO these lordly
money lenders and coupon clippers OF
| the Atlantic States.

THE NAPOLEON CREAMERY.

The old Boatmen's Bank, of st. Lou
is, made its fortune off the western
people, and many a silver coin from a
..picayunen up has contributed to it.
But 1t seems to have passed into the
hands of the gold-bugs, and is no longer
a western institution, but telegraphs to
Carlyle to stick to monometallism, and
assures him that the people will sustain
him. When did the people of Missouri
change their views, and when did they
make this bank their mouthpiece? by
the way, the gold-bugs have always told
us that we who favor constitutional
coinage would drive gold out of the
country and now they are doing all they
can TO assist instead of resist the raid on
our gold and get it out of the country

THE Y PARADE.

Last Wednesday at New York was
witnessed the grandest naval display
ever made. There were collected
armored battle-ships and steel clad
cruisers from the leading navies of the
world. Representing the United States
were the Philadelphia, flag; Newark,
flag; Atlanta, San Francisco, Bancroft,
Bennington, Baltimore, Chicago, flag;
Yorktown. Charleston, Yesuyius, Con-
cord and Miantonomah.
Great Britain was represented by the
Blake, flag ship. Australia, Magicienne
and Tartar. Russia by the Dimitri
Denskoi; the best part Of the Russian
fleet Is still frozen up in the Baltic sea
and could not be present.
France was represented by Aretheuse,
flag ship, the Hussard and Jean Bart.
Frances strongest ship, Capt. Pratt,
was not in review.
Italy had the Etna, flag ship, the
Giovanni Bunson; Spain, Infanta Isa-
bel, flag ship, Reina Regenta, and
Neuye Espana. Brazil's fleet comprised
the Aquidaban, flag ship, Triadentes
and Bepublica. Argentina sent the
Neuoyo de Julio; Holland, the Van
speyk, and Germany the Kaiseria Au-
gusta and Seadler.
The Blake was the largest vessel in
the combined fleet, but not the equal in
sailing qualities to some of its American
rivals. A battle between it and the
Chicago would be a doubtful one. The
new cruiser, New York, could run away
from it, the Vesuvius could sink it with
one of its powerful pneumatic guns,
while the little Cushing could blow it
out of the water with one OF its wicked
t~orpedoes.
The Brazilian feet was the exposure
of all eyes and created great enthusiasm
among spectators.
There never was before such a collec-
tfon Of naval giants. When next they
come together it may be in the smoke,
the roar, the crash and crush of battle.

Enemies of free silver coinage often
point to the condition of Mexico and
the South American states, and cite that
condition as the result of silver mono
metallism. Silver monometallism ,as well
as gold recommendation is to be avoided,
but silver recommendation has nothing
whatever to do with the condition either
OF Mexico or any of the South American
states. Mix the population of these
states with Anglo-Saxon blood, then
give them stable governments and a
