Every Young Man

should be possessed of certain information
without which millions contract pernicious
and most destructive habits-habits which
make young men permanently aged, pale
haggard, listless, devoid of ambition, easily
tired, languid, forgetful and incapable; fill
mad-houses and swell the lists of suicides;
separate husbands and wives; bring untold
suffering to millions, even unto the third and
fourth generation. Parents, guardians and
philanthropists can do no better service to
the rising generation, than to place in their
hands the Information and warnings con-
tanned in little book carefully prepared by
an association of medical men who have had
vast experience in dealing with the grave
maladies here hinted at, and who feel that
they owe it to humanity to warn the young
of the land against certain destructive habits
which are far more prevalent than any lay
man can imagine, and which if persisted in
gradually undermine the constitution and
health, and destroy the future happiness of
the victim. Cut out this notice and enclose
it with ten cents in stamps(to pay postage),
to Worlds Dispensary Medical Association,
Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buff
alo, N. Y, and the book will be sent, secure
from observation, in plain sealed envelope.

Here is nut for the free trade Dem :
erals to crack. Senator German furn-
ished it, when in the course of an ex-
plallaliun of why the Republicans car
ried Maryland. he said: 1.-The fact is
that the protection sentiment in the
State has largely increased. In my
own county, for example, We have a
number of wollen mills. Until very
recently they have been run pnon a
rough and cheap class Of goods. In
the last two or three years, However,
they have undertaken higher grade
Of work, and in order to do it they
have been obliged to import a large
number of skilled laborers from Mas
sachuetts and. other New England
States. Most of these men are Repub-
licans. A like condition exists in other
counties. There has been a change,
too, among Democrats who are natur-
ally inclined towards protection, and
who believe that Republican supre-
macy will more certainly insure per-
manent protective policy. There is no
question that the protection sentiment
among all classes is now very strong,
and many who believe in the doctrine
have been disgusted by the business de-
preston of the last two years. Nat
urally they turn to the party which is
not in power for relief, especially in
view of the fact that that party has

Woman a

Woman is conundrum most decidedly.
Still we do not propose to give her up. Let a
woman have her health and spirits and she is
the sunshine of the house. But suppose she
is sick, what then? Why, then there is a
shadow over all the house. Happily in thous.
ands of homes, such shadows have been re-
moved. Thanks to DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, the diseases and weaknesses Incl
dent to their sex have been removed, and
with health restored, their bright spirits
have come back, and the household has
passed from the winter of its discomfort to a
glad summer of comfort. o, suffering wo-

of those about you, use these simple means
and be healed. The only remedy SO effective

sembles Washington is usually in a
turmoil for several weeks before Con-
gress meets, owing to the campaign for
the nomination of Speaker of the
House. This year there in no speaker
ship campaign. 1t was settled when
the votes cast at the Congressional ell
ection, last November, were counted
that Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine,
should again be speaker Of the House.
There remains only the minor offices
of the House to be determined upon,
and although the friends of the several
gentlemen who are candidates for each
of those offices are greatly interested,
there is no national interest felt in the
good-natured contest they are waging.
So it is easy to understand why so few
members of the House are in town and
why everyth ing is SO quiet.

lbs opinions of his own, and, when
asked, does not hesitate TO express
them. When asked what he thought
the Republicans ought to do at the
coming session of Congress he said !:
"The most important question will be
to provide the government the money it
needs to pay its expenses. l see only
two ways in which it can be done.
One is to increase the duty on mum Der
of articles which like wool for instance,
are now admitted free, or upon which
the duty was radically lowered by the
Democratic tariff law. 1 think We
should give the President all opport-
unity to act upon bill of this sort, al

anything we send him. That method
of raising revenue failing the next
thing to do would be to repeal the law
under which he claims authority to is
sue bonds in denominations of $50
and $100, which ought TO be made legal

up by the people with great rapidity

would make them available for the

that this would be an imitation of the

result, even if some of thu bonds pas

If you dessire something nice to eat, see Mr. A. $. Crute, Jr. and get one of those large water melons he brings to town. They are of excellent variety, and therefore the seed will be worth more, to you than the melon will cost. He can usually be found on the square, but when not, go to D. T. Fly ntt's drug store, where he always keeps fresh supply on hand.
 A runaway occurred in our city on last Saturday evening, which caused the bravest hearts to stand still and strong men to tremble. The spirited mare of sheriff l.. E. Morgan took fright while hitched to his buggy, on the west side of square, and in some manner broke the briddle off. Sheriff Morgan's B year old daughter, Miss Collie, was in the buggy at the time. The animal dashed across the pub lie square at full speed, and then down Gaines Street to Shelton < Wells old livery stable, where the animal was headed off by undaunt- cd courage on tho part of Mir. D. A. Caldwell, and, perhaps, some others, when it's wild and mad race was partially checked; and turning into the cross street, west of the stable the buggy struck tree and the mare broke loose. Miss Morgan, like true heroine remained in the buggy, and mira culously escaped injury. She thoughttully braced herself in the buggy, as the animal ran at full speed, and quietly awaited the fin al result. The little lady was warmly congratulated upon her bravery and good luck in 80 fortu- nately escaping death. The sim gle-tree and some parts of the harness were broken, which was about the only damage done.

Democracy's Chances.

Six moths az" it apeared that democracy's defeat for the presi denry it 1896 had been accomp- lished beforehand, and that the party would make nominations when the time came around sim | ply to carry out an old custom winch has prevailed since the day s of J Jefferson, without entertaining any idea of the hope of success. But the conditions have under. gone such complete and satisfac tory change, in the last few months, that if no unforeseen dis aster occurs between now and the national election, the democrats are pretty sure of capturing the presidency.
 The American people, in a polit- Ical sense, are creatures of emotion, and seldom If ever at all reason from cause to effect They grasp results and brood over their conse. qaences without stopping to con sider the actual causes or devise plans for their rechfcation. The dominant party, then. whichever it is, is made responsible for the good and the bad equally, no mat ter whether the conditions are due to legislation or not, and when elections occur they either endorse the party in power or re- pudiate it according to the pros perity or depressiens of the times. Just before the fall elections bus- ness was at standstill, the price of farm products, especially y wheat, had reached the lowest mark since the war, strikes had been numer- ous on account of a general re- duction of wages and it required a bond sale to sustain the reserve fund. The people charged this to democratic mismanagement of affairs and the republicans won in most every state where elections were held.
 Today it is widely different and democraey's chances for success in the presidential campaign are growing better every day, If the same law is to be applied in 1896 that shaped the result in 1894 Business in every department is improving, wages have been ad- vanced at least fifteen per ccno., factories are running on full time and are behind with orders. There is also the prospects of the largest corn crop ever known, and already the railroads arc increasing their facilities for handling it by manu- featuring new rolling stock. The gold reserve fund is at safe mark and confidence is general in all American enterprises. These conditions while they arc not due to any sagacity of legislation eith- CT in whole or in part will, if con- tinued to the end of this regime, be more the means of retaining the democrats in power than the many benefits that have resulted from the passage of the Wilson bill.-Pine Btuf Commerclal.
