Electrical Possibilities.

One of the latest electrical inventions Is
a figure of man worked by the current.
Tonawanda has one which drags a cart
about the streets, and a Brooklyn clothing
dealer has two which are used rs models.
When 1t rains they are pointed for the
store door and set going, with the result
that the suits have no time to shrink. The
firm which manufactures them uses the
power generated by Niagara falls and ex.
poets to make one which will run by stor-
age batteries and carry photograph
stored away in its internal economy. The
advantages of IA figure of this sort will be
readily seen The only thing needed to
make the new man perfect is the attach
ment Of penny in the slot arrangement
and monograph loaded with good stories
or tips on the races or weather predictions.

even after the disease has progressed so
far as to induce repeated bleedings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
copious expectoration Including tubercu-
lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds 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
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
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 medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emissions" 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
short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypo-
phOsphites had also been faithfully tried
in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred raaladies, have been
skillftll1y reproduced in book of 80 pages
which viii be mailed to you on receipt of
address and six cents in stamps. You can
then write those cured and learn their ex-
perience.

claim that when Senator Watson, by virtue Of
his position as Speaker Of the Senate, succeeded
to the Governorship upon the death of Gov.
Marvl one month ago, the number OF Senators
was reduced to eight, and therefore there were
only 90 on joint ballot, and that 10 votes con-

She's Gone Where Good Army Horses Go.
March Is, 1895, died near Lincoln, Neb,
"old Kit" as she was called. She would have
been 40 years old the 10th day of next June,
had she lived that long. Old Kit was one of
the very few surviving cavalry steeds of tho
late war. Her history was well known. She
proudly carried her brave rider through the
Atlanta campaign. then with Sherman to the
sea, thence through the Carolinas TO Washing
ton, and finally was retired. Many long years
she has survived her gallant rider; for many
years she has lived in comfortable leisure
ceiving all the care that loving hands could
bestow, on account of the ilustrious and faith
full services she had performed.
She was of genteel blood; in her youth was
black as a crow. bnt time had wrought great
change in her appearance. At the time of her
death her shrunken, shriveled form was COW
cred with white hair, but the brand of honor
u. s., was still visible on her left shoulder.
She was decently and lovingly buried by those
who revered the glorious work in which she
had borno SO faithful part and of which she
was almost the last representative.-C. NJ.

ga RACE WITH DEATH"

Among the nameless heroes, none are
more worthy of nartydom than he who
rode down the valley of the Conemaugh,
warning the people ahead of the Johnstown
food. Mounted on a powerful horse, faster
and faster went the rider, but the flood was
swiftly gaining, until it caught the unlucky
horsernan and swept on, grinding, crushing,
annihilating both weak and strong
In the same way is disease lurking near,
like unto the sword of Damocles, ready to
fall, without warning, on its victim, who
allows his system to become clogged up, and
his blood poisoned, and thereby his health
endangered

no matter what their name or nature, and
save yourself spell of rnalarial, typhoid or

the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
THE ONWARD MARCH
Of Consumption is stopped short by DR..
PieFce's Golden Medical Discovery. If you
haven't waited beyond reason, there's COM
plete recovery and cure.
Although by many believed to be incur
able, there is the evidence of hundreds and
thousands of living witnesses to the fact
that, in all its earlier stages, consumption is
a durable disease.
