AN OLD SOLDIERS RECOMMENDATION
 In the late war I was 8 soldier in the First Maryland Volunteers, Company G. During my term of servive contracted used great amount of medicine, but when found any that would give me re- lief it would ipjure my stomach, until Chamberlian's Collie, Cholera and diarrbea Remedy was brought to my notice. I used it and will say it is the only remedy that gave me permanent re- lief and no bad results follow. I take pleasure in recommending this prepara tion to all of my old comrades, who, while giving their services to their coun- try, contracted this dreadful disease as did, from eating unwholesome and un- cooked food. Yours truly, A. E. Bend- ing, Halsev, Oregon. For sale by E. F. Hawley, Newtown, s. c. Bull, Sandy Hook.

Thous- ands of pale, thin people have little in- clination to eat, and what they do eat causes them pain and distress.

THE TOBACCO MARKET.

There has been for the past two weeks all the activity in the tobacco market for the season and the prices have been so low that this activity has been very mild. Buyers do not desire the crop, as it's qualities are not what the market de- mands. Growers generally have been flattering themselves that it would prove a fine crop. So far as their efforts are concerned it should be so, but the very dry weather in the critical curing stage has almost ruined by drying down rather than curing, which requires certain amount of moisture during the whole process, but subject to control. As there was but little moisture, this season, the crop is very uneven in color, with more or less white vein running through the entire crop, being worst in the top of the curing building. Agricultural papers have tried to leave the impression of q good crop, but when buyer examines 8 crop the illusion is dispeiled. As the buyer Is not anxious and the grower is both disgusted and anxious crops are selling from three to eight, perhaps 10 cents, the average being from five to eight cents. Probably over one half in town has been sold to New Milford buy CTS at these prices and is being rapidly delivered. Buyers ask who is the worst of for money crop, those who have raised tobacco at these prices or those who have raised potatoes at the ruling prices? The potato grower can feed his crop to his stock to some advantage but not the tobacco grower.
 l The season has been so far very favor able for the ice harvest, which has been quite generally improved. Probably two thirds of the crop Is secured, being very clear and free from snow or grit.

for the boys brigade, and the candidate
paid tribute to his eloquence. He pro-
ceeded:
This is not partisan contest; 1t Is
contest built upon genuine patriotism,
and looking to genuine Americanism
There is nothing half so good in all this
world as clean hands, pure hearts and up
right, noble purposes. No danger can ever
come to this republic so long as we carry
the American flag in our hands and keep
1t in our hearts. speak to all my fellow
citizens of Ohio when l say that this is the
year when you are to determine, each for
himself, whether or not he wants a return
to that prosperity from which he ran
away in 1892, and whether ornot he wants
to continue that industrial policy which
increases debts of the government and
debts for the people and want and destitu-
ton for all of US The Republican party
stands for an honest dollar; for the main
tenance of the public honor; for sustain
ing the public faith for sustaining in
corruptible the courts of the country, and
for proclaiming to all the world that this
is u government Of law, and that the law
must be supreme over all. ;"
To an Indiana delegation the Republic
can candidate said:
'If you should coin all the silver in the
world you could not get any profit from
1t. 1t Is that we want something to do. 1t
is the lost job we want back. 1t is the lost
market that the farmer wants back again.
1t is our splendid home market that has
been surrendered. 1t was opened up to
wider fields by the reciprocity treaty of
1890, and we want it back and we mean to
get it back this year. 1t is not lack of
money, but lack of markets; 1t is not
lack of money that the workingman is
suffering from, but q lack of work. 1t Is
not a lack of money that the manufactur-
ers and merchants are suffering from, but
lack Of confidence created by the inaug-
uraton of the destructive industrial sys-
tenn which deprived Americans Of their

SIREN SONGS FOR GoPHERs.
How Florida Land Turtles Are Lured Out
Of Their Holes.

How Florida land Turtles Are Lured Out
Of Their Holes.
W. q. Gilbert, locksmith, astrono.
mer, fisherman. scientist, hunter and
capitalist, is great fancier Of gopher
meat. and has thought of many ways Of
catching the game.
Some time ago he learned that there
was family living in the northwestern
part Of the county which boasted of
young men who could "sing" gophers
out of their holes. He travelled many
miles to ascertain il the report was
really true.
The young men were reluctant at first
to give an exhibition that might reveal
their secret, but Mr.. Gilbert had q
number of pursuasives along and finally
they consented.
The young men equipped themselves
with gunny sack and pointed stick
about five feet long. A half mile from
the house, in the wire grass of the roll
ing pine land, they found the hole Of a
gopher. They covered the entrance Of
his tunnel with sack and planted the
stick over the tunnel. Then all Of the
men lay down about 20 feet away and
one Of them sang.
In a half hour the sack was seen to
move slightly, wherenpon one of the
young men jumped up quickly and ran
to the stick, which he pressed deep into
the ground, cutting off the gopher's re-
treat The other reached his hand into
the hole and brought out big gopher.
which was made into delicious stew
for their dinner Mr.. Gilbert, discours-
ing on the incident, says:
II have since learned that the Mexi-
cans, who are very fond Of gophers,
pursue this method, except that they do
not sing. The singing is entirely super
fluous. Curiosity is what kills the 60
pher, as it has killed the historic cat.
The animal evidently is curious to learn
what it is that has darkened the thresh-
old of his abode and comes forth to
see. The stick does the rest. I have
tried the same plan myself and very
successfully. FLORIDA Times Union.

A Harlequin Without Honey.

One evening, when returning from

dered the coachman to drive to the Sun,
a tavern in Glare market, he threw
himself out Of tho coach window and
through the open window Of the tavern
parlor just as the driver was about to
draw up. The man then descended from
the box, touched his hat and stood wait
ing for bis passenger to alight. Finding
at length there was no one visible, he
besought q few blessings on tho scoun-
drel who had imposed lpon him, re-
mounted his box and was about to drive
off when Rich, who had been watch
ing, vaulted back into the vehicle, and,
putting his head out, asked, "Where
the devil are you driving to?'' Almost
paralyzed with fear, the driver got
down again, but could not be persuaded
to take his fare, though he was offered
q shilling for himself, exclaiming:
mo, no! That won't do. I know you
too we'll for all your shoes. and go, Mr.

FORESTALLING THIEVES.
Why Thomas A. Edison Patents Every
thing He Invents.

Why Thomas A. Edison Patents Every
thing He Invents.
As Thomas A. Edison watched the
pumping of the air from glass tube in
his laboratory day or two ago, a man
said to him:
"You patent every little thing you
discover, don't you, Mr.. Edison?"
II do" said Mr.. Edison, land do
you know why do itf"
II suppose you do it so you will reap
the benefit Of your discovery, was the
reply.
II thought you'd say that" said Mr..
Edison, land don't suppose you will
believe me when l tell you it ism t SO.
Nevertheless, l discover great many
things that l would be glad to give to
the public for nothing, but don t dare.
l patent these things to save myself
from defending lawsuits. There are
lot Of sharks in this world who are con-
tinually on the lookout for new things,
and when one Of them hears of some
thing new he hustles to the patent office
to see if it is patented. If it isn't he
claims 1t as all original discovery and
files his claim. Then he will turn right
around and, like as not, begin o suit
with the man who invented the thing
for making or using it. The inventor
will say: But discovered this thing
first am the inventor. He is referred
to the patent Office, where he finds the
official claim Of original invention. The
fact that the papers are filed long after
he made his discovery does not help
him, for all the other man does is to hire
fellow to swear that he made the dis.
covery month or two prior to the date
the inventor claims. 1t sounds ridiou-
lous, probably, but 1t is fact that there
are often races between the inventors
and the sharks to reach the patent
Office, the sharks having had early in
formation about the inventors discov-
cry There are many such races and
thousands Of dollars depend on each
one. What I say is literally true. -
