MastoLlor.S and Mule Footed Hogs.

Science knows of the mastodon only as
"an extinct fossil proboscidian pachy-
derm, closely allied to the elephant Of
modern fauna" Who knows, however,
but that these "supposed-to-bc-extinct"
creatures may be as plentiful in the
Gland of the midnight sun" as mule foot
ed hogs seem to be in Arkansas, Mis-
souri, and the Indian Territory? Three
weeks ago would have been much more
surprised had l met real live mule foot
ed hog than | would have been to have
met whole herd of the aforesaid fossil
proboscidian pachyderms." Since that
time everything has changed. The hun
dreds of letters sent in by kindly dis
posed friends are convincing proof that
mule footed hogs are more plentiful in
the south than office seekers in Washing
ton.-St. Lauis Republic.

Ninety-eieht Years in a Nunnerv

An Armenian nun has just died in con-
vent at Jerusalem who was certified by the
registers of the community to which she
belonged to have attained the age of lis
years. She entered the convent when she
was seventeen, and during the subsequent
ninety-eight years did not once cross it's
threshold. Medieval .piety, which set forth
complete ignorance of the world we live in
as one of the chief qualifications for sane
tity, could surely ask no more than this.
Very few who have visited Jerusalem would
contemplate residence Of ninety-eight
years in that city with Joy, even with the
privilege Of remaining all that time i'm
INJURED in the cloisters Of o convent. Lon

Hunting with 10 Whip.

The following tall story comes from
Middletown, Conn: While resident
of that town was driving along coun-
try road at the edge of wood his dog
flushed couple of partridges. The
birds burst out of the brush with a
whir, flying side by side, and as they
were passing over the hunters head he
made vicious cut with his whip at
them, and according to the legend the
whip hit one of the birds and broke its
neck.-Philadelphia Ledger.

THE silver fight in the senate during
the past week has been most bitter,
and one of the most significant in the
history of that body. Feeling sure Of
majority, Voorhees,, leader of the re-
pealers, gave notice last Wednesday
that he would expect quorum present
day and night until the question was
brought to vote. He meant to force
the silver men to succumb, but they
were ready tor him. Senator Allen CT
Nebraska took the floor Wednesday ev-
enlng and spoke all night for silver, his
speech occupying fourteen and a half
hours. 1t was the most remarkable
similar test on record. Senator Mar.
tin of Kansas followed, and talked all
day and Stewart took the floor at might.
lie spoke until las, when 1t became i'm
possible to geta quorum, and VOORHEES,,
who had forced the continuous session,
moved an adjournment. 1t was one Of
the greatest victories for silver in the
struggle, as the gold men were beaten
at their own game. The silver forces
slept by installments and could have
entertained the repealers from now un-
til Christmas had the latter possessed
endurance enough to keep awake. The
fight still goes on but Voorhees, will
hardly try forcing the matter again.

purchase law. And when the house.
every member of which was elected last
fall under the national platforms. comes
to vote on the question, fifty-6ve per
cent. of the democratic and ninety per
cent. of the republican members vote
for unconditional repeal. And we have
shown, beyond question or doubt,
what gold basis means to the farmer,
laborer, producer and workingman. II
is very easy to figure out if statistics
are handy, by comparing the relative
fall of silver and farm products in
America with the Same in Iudia, where
silver has been kept at par with gold
and wheat brings 81 10 per bushel.
The real estate mortgage indebted
ness in Kansas is shown by the census
to be S243, ,S26. exclusive of all other
forms of debt. There were produced IN
the state this year about 10000, 900
bushels of wheat, worth at the present
market price Sl6,0O0,0O0 Thus the
total value of the Kansas wheat crop
this year is just enough to pay interest
on its real estate Indebtedness, at the
low rate of 81 per cent. The average
interest is much above, and nothing Is
said of the cost of producing the wheat.
The debt in 1873 was Insignificant and
wheat was S1.3I per bushel.
The loss sustained by the farmers of
this country on account OF silver's de-
monetiZation is almost beyond realiza-
ton. 1t has been enough ON wheat
| alone to have paid twice the amount of
our national debt at the present time,
and today it would require as
much wheat to pay that debt as it
would in 1873, although we have paid
it twice over. When our national debt
was contracted the people of this eoun-
try took it upon themselves to pay it in
money, earned by their labor and its
products. Wheat, at the time mos of
that debt was made, was worth 81 so a
| bushel, and other farm products in
proportion, and the farmer went to
work with light heart to pay his share
| of it. The bOndholder, however, did
not propose to have it just that way,
and instituted system of contracting
the currency, and prices as a conse-
quence, in about the same proportion as
! the debt was paid. The result is that
as fast as the farmer has shoveled his
wheat in to pay the debt it has leaked
out at the bottom, and after twenty
years of this he is just discovering the
| leak.
The appreciation of gold resulting
mainly from demonstration of silver
has been the cause of decline in every.
thing else. Its effect on the farmers
and labOrers in general in this country
has been monumental and they should
mite to use every means in their power
to prevent the fastening upon us of a
single gold standard, which means fol
them only poverty, gloom and disaster
Free silver is the first step; unite t
save your homes.

IT is generally known that Harper's
Weekly is an ardent supporter of east
ern policies, amounting even to abase
and yitGperation against the masses of
the people; but in its last issue it acct
dentally or otherwise got off the sub
ject. Speaking of corrupt methods in
the east it SAYS:
Such are the representatives OF New York
and Pennsylvania, the most important states
or this Union, in the senate of the United
States. Every self-respecting citizens of those
great commonwealth must hang his head in
shame when he thinks of it. How did Cameron
aud Quay, Hill and Murphy ever get into the
senate? They would certainly not be there
had the intelligence and patriotism of either
parry in Pennsylvania end New York been
permitted to cast the decisive vote Che party
machines put them where they are, to the dis
grace of their states, and in defiance of public
sentiment. The republican machine in Penn
sylvania, the democratic machine in New
York, one as bad as the other. both drawing
their vital force ana susIenanee from the same
source-the spoils system. Break down the
spoils system in federal, state and municipal
government, and the machine will have lost its
power. When will the people OF New York
and Pennsylvania who as they are represent.
cd in the highest awmaking body of the re-
public, have become objects of pity and deris-
ion, become alive to the necessity of throwing
on yoke which is 90 qeros9toly TO their hon

Deafness Can Not be Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear, There is only one
way to cure Deafness aud that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intamed
you have a rumbling sound, or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces,
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
