Lightning Hot Drops. What is it?

Although this preparation has
achieved a world wide fame as a
standard remedy for pains, some peo-
pie are yet unfamiliar with it and ask
"What is Lightning Hot Drops?"
sour answer is:
"Lightning Hot Drops is a most
wonderful combination of pure drugs
and herbal extracts, especially design
ed to kill pain, to allay inflammation
and to soothe and heal all flesh
wounds, of whatever nature.
lightning Hot~DrOps is the great
est pain panacea known to medical
science it is for internal and external
use, and is equally good for man,
beast or fowl.
"Lightning Hot Drops is carmin-
alive of pronounced power, and is &C
knowledged specific in all stomach
and bowel disorders, exerting II cor
receive influence never equaled by any
so called similar preparation.
'Iightning Hot Drops is univer.
sal panacea of rare merit, standing
alone and unapproachable in the true
medicinal qualities.
That every claim for Lightning hot
Drops is sustained by strict truth is
attested by the remarkable popu-
larity of the remedy at home. The
druggists every where, without excep-
ton, report remarkable and constant
ly increasing sales of the preparation,
and in nearly every case add that it is
a pleasure to sell such remedy be-
cause of the universal satisfaction it
gives.
Lightning Hot Drops is a standard
household remedy, well worthy of a
place in every home the whole year
'ound. Lightning Hot Drops is sold
everywhere at 20 and Scots. per bot
lie. Scots two and one-half times as
arge as 25cls &, and is only made by
he Herb Medicine Company, Spring

Carbon Browns Nugget.

In Ben Buffers safe at the Capitol
Saloon is gold nugget, notable as be-
ing the first precious metal discovered
on Rich Hill, that strange deposit of
treasure in the Weaver mining dis
trict which afterwards yielded over
100000.
Jack Swilling found the nugget, and
was no less surprised than have been
hundreds of more pretentious geolog-
ical theofizers since.
The dugget is about the size of ones
three forefingers from their first joints
to their tips, and weighs nearly five
ounces, being actually valued at 500.
Caribou Brown finally got possession
and would not now part with it for
any reasonable consideration.
Caribou himself is an interesting
character. Fifty of his seventy-five
years have been spent on this coast,
and for forty years he has experienced
the vicissitudes of those whose fate
depends on the turn of card. But
no matter how disastriously the game
may be going as he sits on the lookout
chair of faro table, the person YET
remains to be seen who can induce
old Caribou to part with that precious
nugget. 1t has been his friend, silent.
yet potent, in emergency for thirty
years past. He will cling to il
doubtless until the dealer in life and
death wins his last chip.-Phoenix

Fire Insurance-High Rates.

For some time there has been made
most strenuous kick in Lexington
against the increased rate of insurance
the result of which has brought back,
not only the former, but if reports in
the press can be relied on, still lower
rate. If Lexington is entitled to such
consideration it follows that Mt. Ster-
ling should be treated in like manner
and we believe the same thing will
come to pass here. II was given out
that the leading companies would
withdraw from Lexington, but il now
appears that they will not and that the
fire insurance matter viii be properly
adjusted.

Hon. John w. Yerkes, of Danville,
a prominent man among Kentucky
Republicans, Is giving the same talk
to reporters of the press as he has been
doing for many years. He is of the
sanguine kind, always behaves in the
election of Republican State candi-
dates and never changes his mind I'M
til after the vote has been counted
and not then unless the Democratic
majority is too great for even the
probability of successful contest. J.
is clear to the mind of this polite !
prophit that the great ~ am" of the
Republican party, w. o. Bradley. will
be the nominee OF that party for Gov
ernor, and believing as he always has
that the Democrats are on the run and
that there are discords and contentious
in their ranks and futher that
ABradley will capture many Demo-
Gratis, = he is jubulent of success, in
fact he is confident of victory. He
luther believes that the Republicans
will capture the Legislature and in
this event he wodld be u candidate
for U. s. Senator to succeed Senator
Blackburn. He is claiming, as usual,
the entire State. Now, Mr. Yerkes is
dealing in fancy. The Democratic
party in Kentucky will be as one
man, will contend for the principles
of Democracy and Mr.. Yerkes' proph-
ecy will be as of the past, without full
fillmcnt.

 ''I was certain Charlie was going to take you," answered the girl with the new tan shoes, in the soothing, salt in wounds manner used by women who love each other.
 'tHe was," went on the weeper more coherently. "And he's just as mad as am. You see, we moved into this block just the week before the reception, and Charlie hadn't been able to get around to make the final arrangements about going. He had asked me in general way a month ago."
 "Yes, know, you were so delighted at the chance" said the girl with the new tan shoes.
 "Well," went on the girl with the pink nose, "the day of the reception he called in the afternoon with a big box of flowers which he told the maid to send up to mo with note that wasn t addressed and which said the carriage would call at s. "
 "I don't see much of anything about that to make you weep" expostulated the girl %;ith the tan shoes.
 "O;., s,.>!'t you?" snapped the weep CT.

 The enormity of the catastrophe so appalled, the girl with the new tan shoes that she wildly offered face bleach to the girl with the pink nose as an aid to recuperation and totally forgot to straighten her hat before she went down stairs. s.-Chicago News.

MosT of the legislators will now turn their attention to hoeing corn and digging potatoes, and nobody is sorry. Some of the members deserve we'll of their con- stituents, but there are others, and they are in the majority, who will not be so generously remembered. It was remarked at the beginning of the session that econ- omy would be the watchword, but that was onlyIgrand stand talk. and the expenditures were as lavish and reckless as ever. It is doubtful if the state is in any better condi- ton than it would have been had the legis- ture adjourned the next day after the ap- pointment of the committees It was a partisan body in every sense of the word. The great reforms that had been promised were not effected and the pledge of the re- publican party has been broken.
