Imitators and Imposters i.

The unequalled success of Allcock's
Porous Plasters as an external remedy
has induced INSCRIPTIONS parties to
offer limitations. which they endeavor
TO sell on the reputation of Allcock's.
1t is an absurdity to speak Of them in
the same category as the genuine po-
rous plaster. Their pretentions are
unfounded, their Wanted merit un-
supported by facts, their alleged supe-
riority to or equality with Allcock's a
false pretense.
The ablest medical practitioners and
chemists and thousands of grateful
patrons unite In declaring Allcock's
Porous Plasters the best external
remedy ever produced.
Beware of limitations and do not be
deceived by Misrepresentation. Ask
for Allcock's, and let no solicitation or
explanation induce you to accept q
substitute.

to unite with the repeal any other

will lead to an interminable debate

CHOLERA IN MARsEILLEs.

LONDON, Aug. s. According to the
Lancet, well-known English medical
weekly, cholera has been epidemic in
Marseilles for the past three months.
Local officials it is asserted have car
ried the policy of deception to such
lengths that even the government has
been led astray in regard to the real
state of affairs. The prefecture now
admits there has been 601 deaths
from cholera in Marseilles since the
midd of May. On some days there
were deaths recorded, and last Sat
urday the mortality went up to So.
During the last four weeks there has

gold was not insufficient to the none
tary requirements of trade, and what
measures the government proposed to
take to avert the crisis. Prime Minis
ter Gladstone replied that he did not
know how to ascertain the truth of
the assertion that q decline to the
amount referred to had taken place in
the value of securities held in Eng
land. He did not believe the supply
of gold insufficient for trade require

The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1893-02-23

They had nice muddle back in
Kansas last week which for a time
threatened to lead to bloodshcd, but
fortunately it was averted. When the
Legislature met the Senate was over
whelmingly populist. The house had
a republican majority and when the
time came for organization the re-
publicans and populists could not
agree and each formed u seperate
house Of their own, the republicans
retaining possession of the re-
preventative hall. The senate re-
cognized the minority populist house,
and the republicans desired TO submit
the question of which was the legal
house to the supreme court. This
the populsts refused to do, and tried
to GUST the republicans from the state
house. The governor ordered the re-
publicans to vacate, which they re-
fused to do until the courts rendered
a decision. The militia was called
upon to put the republicans out by
force. The militia refused. The
house was then guarded and it was
determined TO starve them out and
then take possession. Numerous ex-
citing scenes took place and several
hand to hand encounters resulted.
Some republicans who had gone ont
after something to eat were refused
entrance by the guards, and they for
ced their way in at the muzzle of
revolvers. At one time to gain
possession of the hall the republicans
battered down the doors with sledge
hammers Friends of each side
armed themselves with rifles and pa
raded the streets of Topeka determin-
ed to fight for the positions taken by
the opposing factions. Armed men
began pouring in from all over the
state and a tragic ending seemed
inevitable, but open war was averted
narrowly. The populist house meets
outside the capital and its bills are
recognized by the senate. The re-
publicans have applied to the supreme
court for an injunction restraining the
state auditor from paying the salaries
of the populist members. Taken all
around ii is nasty middle.
