of all cases of consumption can, If taken in
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like baiiidtizes
Although by many believed to be incura-
BILE, there is the evidence of hundreds Of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
eenkage of cases, and we believe, fully 90
Per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration Gnclud-
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy ''emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, wliiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
LINGERING COUGHS asthma chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maiadies, have been
skillful1y reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience.

THE PRICE OF COTTON.


How 1t Has Fluctuated During the
Past Hundred Years.
The report of the Agricultural Depart
ment on the production and price of cot
ton for the past 100 years has been made
public. 1t points out that the surplus of
stock in Europe on July 1 last was 2, 4S4, 600

States for that season of 9,4I6, 1876 bales
Prices, it is shown. reached the lowest
point during the years when the accumula-
ton Of surplus stocks was the largest and
that those were the years of largest crops.
The average variation of prices during the
years from 1891 to 1875 was 2.21 cents,
against a yearly range in the previous de-
cade of LIT. The greatest range Of prices
occurred during the period 1851 to 1870 in
elusive, being 1895. The figures show that
the ranges of prices were much higher and
the fluctuations much more violent in the
decades 1S21-3O and 1910 than during
any other period excepting that of the
civil war. when trade conditions were alb
normal.
For the year ending July 1, 1895, the cot
ton crop in the United States was 9,476 435
bales; consumption, 27O4. 153; exports from
here, 6.614.s19 stocks at the close of the
year, 4O5.519. For Europe figures for the
same period are: Imports, 1881, 600 bales;

THE SUFFERING NEGRO coLoN1sTs.

Immediate Private Aid Needed to Save
Them From Starvation.
Representative Bankhead Of Alabama has
asked the acting secretary Of state If the
government cannot assist in bringing back
to their homes the colored colonists in
Mexico, who are destitute and suffering.
1t is said that the department has tried to
afford some relief, but is almost powerless
to do SO. 1t is therefore represented that
immediate private aid Is necessary to save
the unfortunate negroes from starvation.
The consul at Piedras Negras has been
instructed to render any assistance which
he can properly extend and to report any
serious developments. Our charge at the
City Of Mexico has also been informed Of
the state of affairs as reported by the con-
sui, and instructed to inquire into the
treatment of the colonists. The Depart
ment of State has no funds which can be
applied to maintaining destitute American
citizens, other than seamen, in foreign
countries. or to provide for their transpor-
tation home, and it has been obliged so to
inform the consul and all those persons
who have made inquiries concerning these

half from where any one lived. After
reaching the tree they concluded not to cut
1t, as It was near the main road. and might
get them into trouble. The boat was
small one, about ten feet long and about
two and half feet wide. Both In going
over and returning the murderer sat in the
extreme rear Of the boat. with his face to
the front, while Wilkerson and Mills sat
with their backs toward Nicholas.
Both Men Drowned.
When the three men were returning, and
about fifty yards from shore. the boat sud
denly filled with water. Mills and Wilker-
son. were both drowned and the murderer
swan ashore The next day an investiga-
ton was commenced. The boat was gotten
ashore. and 1t was found that Immediately
under the seat where Nichols sat there
were three holes, freshly bored with an
inch-and-a-half augur. Two days before
that the boat was sound, according to the
testimony of the owner, Mr.. Bruin. Further
investigation discovered fresh pine borings
corresponding to toe size of the holes and
of the same wood Of which the boat was
made. They had been thrown into the
water and drifted ashore. The corncobS
which had been cut to fit the holes were
also found. Nicholas had in his possession
an augur just the size Of the holes in the
boat. Detectives Hall ard Tomlinson of
this city went to the neighborhood, AMI,
after investigations, soon arrested Nicholas.
They found him December 10, 1892. about
1 O'Clock in the morning, in Mrs. Mills
room. He showed no surprise at being ar
rested, and when he asked Mrs. Mills for
his money she felt under her bed clothes
and got the pocket book.
The evidence in the case showed that
Nicholas had on several occasions proposed
to Mrs. Mills to leave her husband and live
with him, and that he remarked to Mrs.
Wilkerson that he intended getting rid Of
Mills. The morning after the drowning he
was seen in Mrs. Mills room In her bed.
While in jail Nicholas stated that If Mrs.
Mills would hold her tongue 1t would help
him.

what Mr.. PughTThinks.

In this part of the plea Mr.. Pugh says
the occupation of the avenue is admitted
and it is claimed that it Is justified by All
act Of Congress. That act, says Mr.. Pugh,
has been repealed, and so far as the occu-
patton by poles and wires is concerned the
company stands just where it did before
the act was passed. The District, he
thinks, cannot therefore lose the case, and
the poles must necessarily come down.
