strongly prejudccd and advised against
a trial Of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced TO confess that

fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsious " and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-

a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,

The DandClion,

The dandolIOn belongs to the lar
gest, oldest and most widely ditfused
order of plants. While other orders
of plants have died out and become
mere fossil remains i'll the rocks this
order has survived the geological
changes of many different periods
on account of It's power of adapting
itself to those changes. And these
changes i'll their turn have only
made II better suited for all the va
ried soils and climates of the earth
at the present day.
We find members of this order in
every part of the globe, in places as
far apart from each other as they
can be. 1t is the prevailing and dom.
lnant order of vegetable life, the
most highly finished and the most
successful family of plants. And
the dandclion is one of the most per.
feet forms belonging to it.
1t Is the head and crown of the
vegetable kingdom, as man is the
head and crown of the animal crea,
tion, and it is curious how this high.
est type of plant is always found
only where man, the highest type OF
animal life, is found and where he
dwells and cultivatos tho soil. 1t i:
never found apart from him. 1t fol
lows him wherever he goes-tC
America, Australia and New Zcalant
and there in the new home it be
comes silent but eloquent rcminde,
OF the dear old land he may never
sec again.-GOod Words.

Guiteau. tho As, '-sin of President Garfield
Once Lived In 1t.
Going through West Twenty sixth
street with reporter tho other day,
a man pointed to certain house and
said: THAT house Is II house with a
history. Some folks might say it

ing tho month of June 1881, there
wero boarding a; that house four
mon who hay" since figured i'll tragic
events, in which two lost their lives
and two came worry near doing so.
Tho first Of these mon was the as
Sassin OF President Garfield, Charles
Guitcdu, who, living in "a little, dark
hall room on tho top floor, represent
ed himself rs an insurance man. He
had como from Chicago and intimat-
ed that nc was going to Washington
to manIpu.atOu large insurance deal,
from which he expected large re
turns. 1t was remarked at the time
that he could not be persuaded to
talk politics, while on all other sub
jectS he was Il bright, interesting
and willing talkcy. GuitCau left
about the middle of juno to 90 to
Washington and soon after he as
sasSinalCd Garfield
Another inmate of tho same house
was DIR. kimball, whose suicide un-
der tragic circumstances is still we'll
remcm bored. At the time he was q
young dentist who WAS acquiring an
extensive practice. Tho doctor had
as assistant a Mir. Wallace who later
went TO practice at Ithaca, n. y. He
went into "A barber shop TO get
shaved. The barber, as he was
stropping his razor, said, Il think |
will cut your throat. Wallace
jumped out of the chair and at a
glance saw that the man was insane.
Wallace started ON run for the
door, With the mailman after him,
hourlshing his razor and uttcring
unoarthly yellS and Slashing wildly
about him. Wallace WAS overtaken
and then hCs,E fierce struggle,
which ended Only when help arrived
and rescued Nu.Iacc from Il position
which was lnOmcntarily becoming
moro pCrilOus.
Tho fourth man was Nj. b. Curtis,
the actor, VINO WAS arrested and
tried for the Shooting of IA policeman
in San Francisco. On circumstantial
evidence he was sentenced to be
hanged. But after II stay of proceed
ings new evidence was secured, and
on second trial Curtis was acquit-

POETRY
PORTENTS.

I've worn an opal in ring
Upon my hand for years;
But, notwithstanding this, | sing,
And weep no bitter tears.
/ Often meet cross eyed man
Early on Monday morning,
But thus far We escaped the ban
OF which this is the warning.
| We seen the new moon in the west,
Straight over my left shoulder,
Nor have been bit distressed
About its growing older.
I've even occupied room
With thirteen for a number,
And not ghost has yeXed the gloom
Or marred my peaceful slumber.
"A fig for portents, good or i'll
No wonders and no signs
Forctell the fate me must fulfill
Along life's untried lines.

fifty miles, and to cultivate it after

Raising Mustard.

think that tame mustard has been
cultivated in California, and have a
report of its having been raised in one
or two instances In Ohio very profita-
bly,, writes l.. McLouth in Dakota
Farmer. There are two varieties, the
white and the black These mustards
are both raised quite frequently in
England for green forage and for plow-
ing under as a fertilizer. The mustard
being a coarse, leafy plant, draws q
large part of its nutrition from the air
and exhausts the soil to q compare
lively small extent. Therefore, like
clover, 1t Is often used for the purpose
OF blowing under for enriching the soil.
When 1t Is sown quite thick, say at the
rate or from a peck to q half bushel
OF seed to the acre in July, 1t becomes
very rank and nutritious forage plant,
especially for sheep; and yet the caution
is given that the sheep do better If for
a part OF the time each day they run
upon ordinary grass pasture. 1t Is
raised for the seed In France and in
other parts of continental Europe.
When raised for this purpose it is sown
either broadcast or in drills, say some
two feet apart and cultivated, using
about twelve pounds of seed per acre.
IL sown for the seed 1t should be put
into the ground considerably earlier
than when sown for forage. I should
think that it ought to be sown about
the time of late flax in this country.
1t Is rank grower, and prefers a rich,
loamy soil. 1t is not easily injured by
early frosts in the fall; frosts which kill
potatoes even, it Is said, will be harm
less. When raised for the seed it is
harvested by moving little before
the pods are ripe enough to shell, dried
and threshed with fail.
1t has been known to yield some
times as high as $50 pounds to the acre.
There is a report in the books of
man who raised about $4,000 pounds on
twenty-seven acres, and it sold for
something more than 10 cents pound
in this case. Besides the use Of the
seed for medical and table purposes an
oil is extracted from them which has
been used in the old country for lamps;
and an oil cake is made from the seed
something like linseed oil cake. 1t is
not, however, as valuable for feed as
the common oil cake, but in the Eng
lish market il is sold at cheaper
rate.
From the fact that the wild kinds
grow so easily in this country, have
no doubt that the tame kinds will grow
pretty well. 1 have thought myself for
two or three years that it might be
worth while to test some of these tame
varieties and 1 understand that there
are to be some fields sown in Brown
county this year. I presume you can
buy seed from the seedsmen.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. i6.-The house of
bishops of the Episcopal church recon-
sidered their action in deciding not to
send a bishop to Alaska, and with the con-
currence of the house of deputies one will
be elected this week. The house of depu-
ties spent the entire afternoon debating
the question of establishing the provincial
system in this country. Nothing was de-
cided upon. The whole subject of revis-
ion of the constitution was referred to a
new commission of six clerical and six lay
deputies, the provincial system question
being excepted.
The report on the state of the church
was interesting. Ten bishops have died
since 1892, while fourteen have been con-
secrated, making IL total now of
seventy nine bishop. There are
4,544 priests and 567 candi-
date for orders There were 100, 800 bap-
tisms in the last year, and l31, 473 confirm
ations. There are now 6lS,h00 commune
cants, 5,117 church cdiflces and nearly 500
institutions of a benevolent or education
al character. Contributions from all
sources reached S3S, 100000.

Currie, the British ambassador, Monday
presented to Said Pasha, the minister of
foreign affairs, the final demands of tho
powers for Armenian reforms. If this is

The Gold Endorsement sustains Silver.

The theory that we have lately had
bimetallisn is as baseless as the sug
gestion that we had it in the early part
of the century. If l offer my note when
my credit is not good, no one will dis
count it; if procure the Endorsement
of one whose credit is good, it will be
discounted at once. 1t would be the in
dorsement, however, and not the note
which would have passed current. For
generation our half dollars, quarter
dollars, ETC., have nominally passed cur
rent. Actually, however, it is the gold
Endorsement of the government that has
been accepted. A silver dollar today
consists of half dollars worth Of sill
YER. With the gold Endorsement of q
solvent government it passes for dol
lar. That is, the gold Endorsement pass
es for the remaining 80 cents that is
not in the coin. To say that we have
bimetallism, and that silver coins pass
ON a par with gold, is just as sensible,
and no more so, as to state that my note
for 81 900, 900 is as good as Mr.. Astor's
simply because that when have gotten
him to indorse mine it is discounted at
the same rate as is his. And just as
even Mr.. Astor's paper would be
promptly refused were it found that he
had presented me with ream Of blank
checks Endorsed by him, which l pre-
posed to sign and use, so the gold in
dorsement of the government would be
promptly discredited should it bind it.
self by law to give its gold Endorsement
to all unlimited quantity Of silver. The
silver dollars with the federal indorse-
ment would then be worth the silver in
them--only this and nothing more. -
