REMEDIAL METHODS.

"Many invalids believe that remedies
necessarily imply medicines, and med
icines only. This is serious mistake.
for it not only leads them to be content
with such limited effects as drugs are
able to produce, but prevents them
from acquiring proper knowledge of

agencies by which in health, the vital
powers are developed and maintained.

Topeka Advocate.
There is likely to be another over
production of corn this year. Talk
ing with a Kansas man last Satur-
day who expects to buy corn the FOL-
lowing fall, he remarked that he
had already been solicited to contract
for it at Is cents per bushel, but
that he declined. He further stated
that he could contract for any a.
mount of it now at IL cents, but he
believed it would be lower than that.
So it goes; when people complain of
hard times and a scarcity of money,
they are told that there is an abund-
ance of money if they only had some
thing to sell.
When they have something to sell
1t is not worth anything, and they
are then told that it's .orthlessness
is owing to an overproduction of it.
How are the people to accommodate
themselves to such circumstances 80
as to 'catch on" to q little of that
prosperity that is so abundant every.
WHEREOF is just going to.

Mr.. Eckels, Comptroller of the

wasn't a circumstance to the panic of
1873, which lasted for six years. 1t
may be incidentally remarked that
the panic of 1873 followed on the
heels of the demonetization of silver,
and that the recovery didn't begin
until the recoining of silver )egan

time Lincoln was aasasslnated. Mr..
Monkey was an intimate friend Of Booth
and tells the story In the following
way:

ut was only after Booth had fired his
shot that realized what might follow
II anyone had seen me talking to him.
There had stood with him for nearly
half IN hour, lust outside the presl

Of the crime. The evidence against me
would have been overwhelming and no
