rrestmeut Of Eczema and Salt Rheum,

These two complaints are so ten
acious that the readers of this pa
per should know of the success OBJ
tained by using DIR. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy. Where
all other treatements have failed.
IL has made u complete cure.
Perhaps no more horrible case
of Salt Rheum was ever reported
than that Of Wilbur l.. Hale, quar-
termaster, Pratt Post, G.. A. r.,
Rondout,N.Y. Several physicians
utterly failed to render him any
relief; finally one of the physi-
clans suggested that DR.. Kenedy's
Favorite Remedy be tried and
steady improvement followed its
use, and permanent cure resulted.
1t is used with similar success in
cases of scrofula, nervousness kid
ney and liver complaints, and in all
diseases brought about by bad
blood and shattered nerves.

The Shakers have made a dis
covery which is destined to ac-
complisb much good. Realizing
that three-fourths of all our suffer
ings arise from stomach troubles,
that the country is literally filed
with people who cannot eat and
digest food, without subsequently,
suffering pain and distress, and
that many are starving, wasting
to mere skeletons, because their
food does them no good, they have
devoted much study and thought
to the subject, and the result is this
discovery, Of their Digestive Cor
dial.
A little book can he obtained
from your druggist that will point
out the way of relief at once. An
investigation will cost nothing and
will result in much good.

On Monday evening, as was for
nerly well advertised, Charles
irosvenor, better known in mining
egions as Nut-Cual Charley, came
,efore the people of Logan with
& lis usual Infamous blackguardism
'he meeting was called to order
" Chairman Bright, and Mr.. Dana,
spirant for SenatOrship, was in
reduced. He Is = young fellow
hat would make u good lad to
lrive u team on II farm, but speech
ne has none. The principle object
)f his coming before the people, it
seemed, was for the purpose of ex-
hibiting his gold watch. He took
it out of his pocket and said with
great emphasis: "This is gold
watch. 1t is my watch. | did 1t,
with my little hatchet." We felt
sorry for Dana, as we do any school
boy who has forgotten his piece,
and fumbles y buttonhole. The
bosses then pulled the string and
Dana. after giving us the price OF
eggs, poor boy, was cut off short for
the Glee Club had to sing. The
boys sing alright. There is no dis
rount on their good harmony, Bro.
Green and bug-under-a-chip to the
contrary. They sang something
i'm which they all followed Gratis"
real loud, and the ladies in the
house were much alarmed, but it
was soon und rstood when the echo
followed back "rats" on Faloo9's
tariff talk. Mr.. Falcon didn't tell
lis how he worked it on Captain
Gable i'm the committee meeting at
Athens. We wanted to hear some
thing about that. We wondered
how he got the nomination when
13 out of 90 committeeman made
affidavit that they voted for Cable.
We thought perhaps the gentleman
with high aspirations would tell US
how it was, so ave could work it up
in Hooking, but, confound him, he
keeps those gDOd things to himself.
He and Mr.. Dana are running on
the Foraker dodge and no body
must say Il word against them. You
must not ask them if they will
steal years salary if elected; or
will they haze to be bribed before
their votes can be secured for or
against measure, or whether Mr..
Pursell and the many anti Foraker
people in Hoeking should vote for
them.
And now there comes before us
the great 1 Am: Grosvenor, the
Great, ruler of all the earth and the
armament thereof, considerable of
hell, and peep into heaven, Nut
Coal Charley. He sprung the un-
bounded truth that "6gpres won't
lie, but liars will figure" The ap-
plication was fitting tribute to
the allwise Mckinley, and his own
state auditors, hut the Am didn't
mention it. Said he wanted beer
TO go down, and we watched for the
can behind the stage; we always
keep our eye skinnt when a can
is rushed, but the BIG went back
once himself and we knew we had
no show. "Now listen, Pm going
10 teach Governor Campbell some
thing" and it was the same old
wall, "if he don't stop that now, I'll
tell on him." Then dear Charley |

Tours to the North via p. r. r,

Toprovide the most attractive method
OF spending summer holiday, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
arranged to run two delightful tours TO
the North. The points included in the
itinerary and the country traversed
abound in natures beauties. Magnif-
cent scenery begins with the journey
and ends only with its completion.
The names Of the places TO be visited
are familiar to all and suggestive of
wonderland. No matter how much may
be expected, one cannot be disappointed
in Watkins Glen, Niagara Falls,
Thousand Islands, Quebec, Montreal,
Au Sable Chasm, Lakes Champlain,
George, Saratoga, or the Highlands of
the Hudson. The dates fixed for the
departures Of these two tours are July l6
and August 20, and the round trip rate
OF vi 100 from New York, Brooklyn, New
ark, Trenton Philadelphia, Harrisburg,
Baltimore, Washington will cover ali
necessary expenses during the time
absent. A beautiful descriptive timer

and the delivery of messages more
prompt than with us.
These postoflices, which include, rs
rule, news stands and stationers shops,
are scattered all over the city, especial
ly in London, and one has no such trou-
bic in getting postofiice orders, postal
notes, stamps, etc, as is too often the
case in New York.
Another great advantage of the Brit
ish system is that there is no such thing
as sending messages collect. You can
prepay an answer to a telegram, and the
boy brings up blank with the telegram
when an answer has been paid for.
Again, IL you write TO any one and
