Hoods Pills easy to operate ss'; aS cents

Most of the election bets have
been paid, but there is one which
remains yet to be liquidated, and
from the terms of the bet there is
a probability of the gentleman ne
yer paying it. He will not live
long enough. This gentleman is
New Orleans lawyer, and he
may be detected by the length of
his finger nails. He agreed with
sensible Mckinley man that if
that gentleman was elected he
would not trim his finger nails
again until Bryan became Presi-
dent. He must have been very
strong Bryan man to have made
such bet, but he did, and when
1 saw his finger nails the other
day they were at least half an
inch in length. There is a none
yed forfeit up in case the finger
nails are trimmed, and this forfeit
is said to be several hundred dol
lars. This bet would have beeri
bad enough if it had been simply
on Bryan's election last month,
but as he is not to trim his nails
until Bryan is elected, there is a
prospect of them never being trim
med in these low grounds of sor-
, row. This ardent Bryan man is
now about thirty years old, and if
his finger nails grow an inch per
month, as they have since the
election, and he lives out the al
lotted time of man, / figure that
he will have forty or fifty feet of
nails on each finger, or over 400
feet on both hands, when he is ga
thered to his fathers. He could
do some tall scratching, though,
in the meantime. -Daily Item.

1t is often the forerunner Of serious ill

troubles. 1t is a positive proof Of thin,

The city of New Orleans had
another little sensation this week,
when Lionel Adams, the great cri-
miual lawyer. was exposed by Dis
trict Attorney r. H. Mari. as be-
ing employed by the defense and
for the prosecution in the Hart
case. Adams is like many other
ducks" in New Orleans: he is a
slick one. If New Orleans was to
oct rid of all the rascals that live
within its limits, its population

Retiring More Louisiana
ROndS

1t will be noted that the State
Board Of Liquidation which met
at Baton Rouge Yesterday invited
bids for the sale and retirement of
constitutional consolidated bonds,
to be received OH Jan. 81, 1897.
The States does not fix the amount
Of bonds that will be then retired,
which will depend upon the sur
plus then on hand. 1t will, how
ever, judging by the present condi-
tion of the State finance, prove
under all circumstances a large
amount.
Louisiana is undoubtedly in a
flourishing condition when it can,
at the same time, undertake to re-
lieve, without any outside assis-
lance whatever, the many drouth
sufferers in the northern parishes
and continue TO retire its bonds
and reduce its debt, principal and
interest. Most of the other States
are pursuing a contrary policy
and are issueing new bonds. Lou
isiana is one of the few able to
continue reducing its debt-and is
probably without an equal in the
rapidity with which it is making
this NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

attention of the residents of
the Hawaiian Islands to a few
matters of interest.
We have lately been APP
pointed sole agents for BAR
BER'S REFRIGERATlNG MA
CHIMES.
This machine can readily be
arranged in creamerieS, etc, so
as to cool cream, milk and
water to any desired tempera-
ture down to and below freez-
ing, as also to hold a we'll
insulated butter-room at any
temperature desired above 90
degrees, only requiring the
running of the machine from
four to six hours per day,
which is the usual tirFe that
the other machinery in a
creamery is operated.
In addition to creamerieS,
these machines are also adapted
for use in produce houses,
meat markets, hotels, club
houses, etc. Their perfect work
has been demonstrated fully
in the past two years in a large
number of creamerieS in differ
ent portions of the East, and
more particularly in the EIgin,
ILL.,, district, as we'll as in butter
houses in Chicago, New Or
leans, and elsewhere.
The cost OF operation IS no.

mia furnished with the plant
should last a year or more
without recharging, and will
cost only about $500

improved alpha" machines
intended for household and |

to confer in its new field the
same inestimable benefits of

SCIENCE HELPS you TO BE

From the Era, Bradford, Pa.
Too few people are acquainted with
the rapid advance of medical science,
and too many doctors are still plod-
ding In the old paths. Once 1t comes to
pass that people know themselves that
all physicians are abreast of the
worlds knowledge, much of our suf-
fering will come to an end. Medical
scientists are not delving into the
depths Of knowledge for the mere BEN
eft of brother physicians, but for the
benefit Of the world. They place in
the hands of the we'll man means Of
keeping well, in the hands Of the sick
man means of recovery. To the par
ent they give the power of saving the
child. Science Is working for you--will
you accept the proffered help?
Mrs. George Rowend, an estimable
lady who resides at No. ZIG East Main
Street, has cause to feel grateful to-
ward the science Of medicine.
She stated to reporter that she
had been suffering with female
trouble for many ears. She had been
doctored for the ailment for long
time-in fact, nearly all her life-and
had never received anything more than
temporary relief During the last three
years her condition grew worse and
was aggravated by an affection of the
heart. Her health was so poor that she
found 1t almost impossible to perform
her household duties.
II never believed In proprietary med
icines," said Mrs. Rowend, but one
day last fall I read an article in a
newspaper which told OF the cures ef-
fected by Ir. Williams Pink Pills, and
I decided TO try the medicine. Before
I had taken the contents of one box I
began to feel better. The depressing
weakness which had bothered me for
SO many years began to disappear, and
the action of the heart at once be-
came stronger and more regular.
II took nine boxes of the pills and
am now feeling better than / have
for several years, and have unbound
ed faith in the medicine"
