A STRANGE CASE.
How an ENEMY was Fooled.

The following graphic statement will be
read with intense interest: Il cannot describe
the numb, creepy sensation that existed in my
arms, hands and legs. l had to rub and beat
those parts until they were sore, to overcome
in q measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession of them. In addition [ had
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indescribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there is no
relief Once it fastens upon a person, they
say, it continues its inSidiOuS progress until
it reaches q vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. had been dOctOring
year and a half steadily but with no par
ticular benefit, when saw an advertisement
Of DR. Miles Restorative Nervine, procured
bottle and began using it, Marvellous as it
may seem, but a few days had passed, before
every bit of that creepy feeling had left me.
and there has not been even the slightest
indication of its return. [ now feel as
well as / ever did, and have gained ten
pounds in weight, though l had run down
from no to 1877. Four others have used DR..
Niles Restorative Nervine on my recomen-
datiOn, and it has been as satisfactory in their
cases as in mine. james Kane, La Rue, o.

Secretary F. D. Coburn of the state
board of agriculture today issued a re-
port of the states present crop condi-
tons.
Mr. Coburn says this is the best crop
report Kansas has been able to send out
for years and it is deduced from observa-
tions made by his regular correspondents
in practically every township in the
state, and the showing is in many re-
spects one of marvellous improvement
and fabulous prospects, as compared
with the report made May l.
The report is SIS follows:
Winter Wheat
Previous estimates indicated the area
sown to winter wheat as 4,O64,137 acres
and May LIST it was believed 90 per cent
OF this would be harvested; present esti-
mates are that about 81 per cent. or
1885, acres will be cut, and the aver
sge yield S.24 bushels per acre. or q total
OF 1882, 1873 bushels. In the northern
half OF the state where harvesting is now
at its heighth the quality of the grain has
been much improved by the frequent
cane rains, but in the southern half the
crop was mostly ripened before the rains.

sEC'Y NORTON ON MONEY.
There Should Be Ono Standard and the
Ratio the Commercial Ratio.


PHILADELPHIA, June 81. - Edward
Stern, of this city, director of the BIZ
metallic association. has had some CORE
spondence with Secretary of Agriculture
Morton, with a view of entering into a
friendly discussion of the silver question
with that gentleman. In his first letter
Secretary Morton says: 'EThe fact that
wheat has advanced from 90 cents
on the first day of last March
to as high as 81 cents in the present
month of June, shows that the low price
of silver has nothing to do with it The
advocates of free coinage of silver at IS
to 1 declare that their policy, if carried
out by enactments, will enable farmers
to get bigger prices for their products.
at is very difficult for my obtuse mind
to discern why a farmer will be able to
buy with bushel of wheat more silver
at $1.29 an ounce than he can get with
the same amount of wheat when silver
is only 81 cents an ounce.
"There should be one standard unit of
money, a measure of the value of all
property and the instrument Of com
merce. The legal ratio of silver to gold
should be the commercial ratio, or as
nearly the commercial ratio as possible.
Neither the United States nor the law
making powers of the globe concentrat-
ed can establish and maintain the legal
ratio. which is very much different from
the commercial ratio The commercial
ratio of silver to gold at the present mo-
ment is as / to 25"

State Printer E. II. Snow is moving his
plant, or the plant of the Hamilton Print
ing company from the old state printing
office on Eighth street to the old Com
monwealth building on Jackson street
between Seventh and Eighth streets.
A few months ago Major ]. K. Hudson,
the newly elected state printer, stole a
march on State Printer Snow by Sc
curing lease of the building occupied
by Snow.
Major Hudson, knowing that the lease
of the Hamilton Printing company was
about to expire. went to Mrs. T. D.
Thacher, who owns it, and leased the
building from July 1.
Major Hudson is making arrangements
to do the state printing after july I, and
has ordered new machinery to equip his
plant
As soon as the machinery of the Ham
iIton Printing company is moved out of
the building on Eighth street Major Hud-
son will put in his new machinery, some
of which has already arrived.
AS far as possible Major Hudson will
use type setting machines in doing the
state work.

bons is power in America This
is not altogether pleasing in
the highest quarters, especially when
coupled with the fact that the American
bishops show great spirit and independ-

Gibbons came to voice the American dis
approval of this step Meantime the
matter has been carefully studied here.
The result is Satolli will be made q

These incidents have caused many
persons to think that the election Of a
foreign pope is not impossible, and that
the pope himself favors the idea This

schools should be supplemented and
strengthened by such moral teachings in
the Sunday school and the home as will
