Sioux City Journal, %: A. f.. Nash is
In receipt of a letter from his half
brother, Charles M. Reed, who is the
owner of a large orange grove in Orange
county, Florida. Mr.. Reed says thar IN
h.s letter o Of the reports as to the
damage done to orange groves in Florida
BY the cold weather have been exagger-
ated, and that some'of the later reports
sent out stating that the damage done
was not SO great AZ first anticipated are
false. He says he knows OF many orange
groves that are from Is to Is years of
ago IN which the trees were effectually
killed and are being cut down. The
raising OF oranges being the main de-
pendence OF many persons in Florida, he
considers the situation to be very seri-
ous. The only place in the state where
there will be any oranges for the next
four or five years, he says, is in the Iud-
ian river country, where the trees were
not effected by the cold.

Much gossip OF an unreliable charact

Much gossip of an unreliable character
concerning the proposition OF the A. o.
u. w. OF the two Dakotas to furnish
seed grain for their needy members has
been going tue rounds OF the press. By
designing persons, whether inside or out
side Of the order, it is being circulated
that the nov thus inaugurated and the
seed grain purchased TO be paid for out
OF the money saved by dispensing with
the annual meeting OF the grand lodge,
was devised by the grand officers them
selves to p%erpetuate their lease OF Office
one year longer, also to prevent a division
OF the jurisdiction into the two separate
Dakotas, to prevent an investigation in
to certain work of the head officers or
a reduction Of their salaries, etc, etc, all
OF which Is mere conjecture. The
grand lodge officers did not originate the
scheme at all, it came as petitions to
them from subordinate lodges, and they
resubmitted the question to the subordi-
nate lodges. Out Of 134 lodges, 80 have
been heard from upon the proposition.
Seventy.six, representing voting
strength in the grand lodge OF 5.O42,
have voted in favor Of no grand lodge,
and q, with u voting strength OF 2,l59,
oppose 1t. The OILY officers who draw
any salaries are the grand master work
man, who receives $50 a year; the grand
receiver, 500, and the grand recorder,
$500. These salaries were ali fixed at
the last grand lodge session without OPP
position. Since that session 16 new
lodges have been organized and over
1900 members admitted to the order,
making additional work OF the officers.
1t will be seen there is very little in the
whole business to appeal to the selfish
ness of grand officers and so far as the
other i%nsinuations against the grand
officers are concerned there is nothing to
them. No doubt if any respectable
number Of the subordinate lodges should
insist ON a grand lodge session it will be
held and everything examined open and
above board. The A. O. u. w. is a self
governing body working under a safe
constitution and bylaws, conservative
and able in its membership, and fully
competent to handle it's own business in
a ~businesslike way, as it's record shows,
being the oldest fraternal, mutual organ
izatlon in the United States.

Cousidere.e Patients.

Amusing if apocryphal stories are told of the extreme care for the feelings of their physicians displayed by some patients. One such tender hearted man, seeing his physician coming along the street, slipped into a doorway toavoid him.
 "Why did you do that?" inquired his companion.
 "Well, said tho man, whose health had been poor until within year, "it's so long now since I've been sick that I'm really ashamed to see him."
 An instance of still greater delicacy is recorded of man whose case had been pronounced hopeless by his physician, but who afterward regained perfect health. He met the doctor on the street some time aft CT his recovery, and the latter had difficult ty in making his former patient stop to speak with him.
 Whats the matter?' inquired the phy sician bluntiy.
 "Why," returned tho other, "you said was dying and I'm ashamed to have you see mo alive and well!'
 Such tenderness as this merits the ap proval with which a quack is said to have commended conscientious swallower of his medicines.
 "Ah, my dear sir, " he said, with strong emotion, you deserve to bo ll!'-Youth's Companion.

of all cases of consumption can, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease, be cured. This may seem like a bold assertion to those familiar only with the means gener- ally ill use for its treatment as, nasty cod liver oil and its filthy emulsions extract of malt whiskey, different preparations of hypophosphites and such like ballidfiaTs.
 Although by many believed to be inctra- ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the fact that, i'll all its earlier stages, consumption is curable disease. Not every case, but large per. centaee of cases, and we believe, /Mity 9S per fenL are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated blcedings from the lungs severe lingering cough with copious approximation (includ- ing tuberciilar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme cancellation and weakness.
 Do youdoubt thathundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by Golden Med ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best aud most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever Ill inls- representing them. and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery" but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other inedicines With which they are acquainted. Nasty cod, liver oil and its filthy "emrlslons and mixtures had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene- fit or had only seemed to benefit little for a short time Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypophos- phites had also been faithfully tried ill vain.
 The photographs of large number of those cured of consumption. bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and Kindred maladies have been skillfully reproduced in book of 100 pages which will be mailed to you, on re- ceipt of address and six cents in stamps. You can then write those cured and learn their experience.

: FUN FOR THE THIN OFFICE BOY.
Roll of Confederate Bills, Two Crooks
 and a Sequel by the Police.

- e and a Sequel by the Police. = Not all tho lqongcrs that loaf on the .- City Hall park benches arc mero tramps There is an occasional crook among them rwithsan cye, open for business. This was discovered by the thin office boy one day last week. The thin office boy had recent ly come in possession of several hundred dollars in imitation Confederate money got out by firm for advertising purposes. This he rolled up, securing 1t with a rub Der hand, and showed it into his lower waistcoat pocket, letting tho top of the roll protrude alluringly. To all appearances the thin office boy was gentleman of means and leisure out for stroll in City Hall park.
 This idea probably struck two men lounging on n bench, for they arose and followed the posscssor of the bills. One was short, dark man, tho other tall, blond man. Neither of them could have entered tho dudes challenge competition for tho best dressed man in New York. Now tho thin office boy Is known on Park row as "dcad fly kid, 5" and it took him very small portion of moment to make mp his lnind,th the men were following him on the trail of the roll of bills. This amused him. His own roll was deep in his trousers pocket. So he determined to give tho men a chance. A crowd of boys playing craps at tho corner of Broadway and Mail street, just at the end of tho postoffce, attracted his attention, and ho stopped to watch them. Tho two men stopped also and began skylarking, all tho time drawing nearer. When they were quite near, tho thin office boy started on, and as he did so the small man ran into - him, knocking him heavily over against tho big man. who lost no time in transfer ring the wad of bills to his own pocket.
 Cant you look where you TO going?' asked the thin office boy indignantly, but not too indignantly, for he didn't want to get into fight.
 Instead of replying tho tall man fled with great rapidity toward Park row, while his companion slouched around the cor ner. Thoreupon the thin offico boy leaned up against tho postoffice and contorted himself with mirth until he grew breath less and bfuc in tho face and fell upon the ground and rolled to the alarm of crowd who gathered about and expressed the opinion that he had cholera, hydrophobia, fits, sunstrokc, lockjaw, paralysis, apo plcxy, epilepsy and other ills. But dear old lady camo forward, put a bottle of } smelling salts under his nose, and said consolingly:
 "Never mind, poor boy, the ambulance will bc here soon.''
 The strength of tho smelling salts af fected the sufferer like a brick applied with force to tho back of tho neck, and he arose, realizing that 1t was time togo. But when he returned to the office he was still weak from excess of mrth. Next day the police reports stated that a poorly dressed man had fallen in fit in Park TOW saloon just as ho was about to pay for q drink.
 The thin office boy thinks that it was his robber. New York Sun.
