FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
Which Cured Him After Everything Else
 Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebod- ings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let-up to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep Is almost impossible and under such strain men are scarcely responsible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness, until 1t was a question whether he had not better take dose of poison and thus end all his troubles. But proVidential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medi- cines that not only completely rsetored the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free Now, when l say free, I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weak ened man to get the benefit of my eXpe- rience.
 I am not a philanthropist, nor dc I pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such remedy as the one that cured me. Do not try to study out how l can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mail the information, but send for it and learn that there are a few things on earth that, although they cost nothing to get, they are worth fortune to some men, and mean a lifetime of happiness to most of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box 1S1, Kalamazoo, Mich, and the informal ton will be mailed in a plain sealed en- velope. 8-30-su&wed-tf

WIN Not Resign the Presidency.

Canton, o., Dec. 3.-Before
lChairman Mark Hanna left
Canton this afternoon he was
formally rendered a. seat in the
next cabinet by President-elect
Mckinley. The treasury port
folio, with which rumor has for
several weeks past connected
his name. was the Office he was
asked to accept.
Mr.. Hanna did not refuse the
offer, nor did he accept it. He
told Mr.. Mckinley that he
would take the proposition un-
der adYisement. While the
fact that the offer has been for
mally made has not been offic-
tally announced, it may be taken
es entirely authentic. 1t will
likely not be verified until after
Chairman Hanna has conferred
with Senator Sherman atWash-
ington, for it is well known that
the republican leader would a
a good deal rather succeed
Sherman as senator. In case
Sherman can be induced to ae-
cept a place in the cabinet, it is
quite certain that Hanna will
step into the senatorial shoes
thus vacated.

Washington, Dec. 3.-There
are dozens of applicants for the
position of receiver for the bank
which lately failed at Tyler.
These applicants are from all
over the state, and the comp
troller said today that if a re-
ceiver was appointed he would
be from the town where the
bank is located-that is, from
Tyler. But he is not at all GER
tain that ha will appoint a re-
ceiver for the bank. This is
due to the fact that he is being
telegraphed by creditors and
stockholders in the concern to
give it another chance. He
says it would seem that the APP
pointment of a receiver would
be unnecessary, and if the bank
can be reorganized with benefit
to the creditors he will be glad
of it, and he will give it every
chance to reorganize to that
end, so it would seem that the
appointment of a receiver is at
some distance yet, and even if
one is appointed he will be from
Tyler. 1t is sand late this even
ing that Mr.. Eckles has wired
his consent to a reorganization
of the bank, but this is not pos
itively known.

REFUSED HER CREDIT.
Mrs. Cleveland cOuIdn't Bay E&espt for
cash-Hss skip Gene Go ~
Washington

aShlngton, NOV. Zf.- 1he
remarkable spectacle of ia big
dry goods firm refusing credit
to the mistress of the white
house was witnessed by a throng
of shippers several days ago.
The affair has thus far been
kept out of the papers, though
it was whispered around among
the friends of the people
who were gathered about the
counter at the time. The Incl
dent occurred in one of the
stores on Pennsylvania avenue.
While the usual crowd of bar
gain seekers were making their
purchases, the presidents carri-
age drew up in front of the
establishment. Mrs. Cleveland's
maid alighted and went inside.
Stepping toward the counter
where children's dress goods
were displayed she looked over
the goods.
Then selecting several dress
patterns she handed the clerk n
note bearing the engraved in
scription, Executive Mansion. +"
Smilingly, she said:
Mrs. Cleveland said charge
to the president"
There was moments hesita-
ton. The clerk beckOned to
the proprietor, and together
they talked in low tones. Fln-
ally the clerk turned around and
stammeringly said:
Il am sorry, but it is strictly
against our rules to charge
goods. | assure you"-he be-
gan, but was interrupted by the
maid. who, with flashing eyes.
lin an excited manner, ex-
claimed:
What, you refuse to give
credit to the president OF the
United States."
All eyes were turned toward
the girl, who stood starring at
the clerk.
I'VE do not exactly refuse to
give credit to the president;
but, you see we do not open
, book accounts. ."
Then you doubt my coming
from the white house, do you!"
"Not at all; we only regret
not being able to comply with
Mrs. Cleveland's request"
The maid, to the most popu-
lar woman in America, turned
from the counter and rapidly
made her way to the white
house carriage, followed by a
small crowd of serious specta-
tors. The manager of the store
later explained the occurrence.
I'VE regret annoying Mr..
Cleveland or his wife," he said,
t"but had we granted the request
it would have been violation
of our rules. We long ago
found it safer to abolish the
credit system and go on a pay
one, pay all' plan. This we
were forced to do for our own
protectien. 1t is hard enough
| to collect bills anyway.
And so far as distinguished
: people are concerned, we have
found that they are able to
avoid payments, for there is q
code of etiquette absolving
them from the harassing bill
collector.
However, it was not that we
: did not believe the white house
| exchequer is adequate to pay
legitimate bills, but rule which
I applies to one, should be en-.

THE proposition of MincO

IS worthy of consideration at
the hands Of our people. The
only question to be decided is
do we Of Ardmore feel like sup

extent of 800, the amount ask
ed by the committee! On a
general proposition we believe
our people should respond, but
locally we are OF the opinion
that the town of Ardmore
should first support a home
man. However, we are in for
any movement that mas for its
object the accomplishment of
the supreme purpose, the issue
OF townsite legislation. If Horn
beck is the man to send to
Washington, he should be sup
ported, il there is another and
better man than he to send,
that is the one to support.
We are first, last and all the
