A New Plant That Cures Asthma.

"A New Plant That Cures Asthma.
Medical science at last reports a posi-
tive cure for asthma in the wonderful
Kola Plant, a new botanical discovery
found on the Congo River, West Africa.
It's cures are really marvellous. Rev. J.
l.. Combs of Martinsburg, w. Va,
writes that it cured him of asthma Of
fifty years standing, and Hon. L.. 6.
Clute, of Greeley, Iowa, testifes that
for three years he had to sleep propped
up in a chair, being unable to lie down
night or day. The Kola Plant cured
him at once. To make the matter sure
these and hundreds of other cures are
sworn to before a notary public. So
great is their faith in it's wonderful
curative powers, the Kola Importing
Co., of 1164 Broadway, New York, to
make it known, is sending out large
cases of the Kola compound free to all
sufferers from asthma. All they ask
in return is that when cured yourself
you will tell your neighbors about it.
Send your name and address on a pos
tai card, and they will send you a large
case by mail free. 1t costs you moth
ing. and you should surely try 1t.

came several slight misadventures at
~Cherbourg and on the way here.
These were followed by the backing
OF the imperial carriage against the
curbstone by FESTIVE horses, during
which the czarina vas struck in the
face by a shrub and forced
TO abandon her visit to the Elysee.
Finally the performance at the opera
last night was terminated abruptly in
the middle of the ballet owing to the
illness of the car, which, it is SAID,
wa occasioned by the bad cooking at
the, Elysee palace. What effect these
various mishn,s will have on the cars

many who fear that he will remember
these more strongly than the enthu-

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct 8.-The
counting of the vote Of Florida's cleo
ton is progressing exceedingly slow
and unsatisfactory because it was
the first under the new Australian
ballot law. Returns are greatly de-
layed and thus far are so meager that
no more can be said than that the
Democrats claim a plurality of 20, 900,
while the Republicans claim thai
Bloxham, the Democratic candidate
Tor governor, will not have more than
1870 plurality and that Sheats, who
is running for superintendent Of in
struction on the same ticket, will
have even less. Both claims arc
guesses.
The vote was light, especially in the
storm-stricken section, and the Aus.

lleved that United States Senator Call

while in the city vas one which called
upon him at 10 o'clock last evening,
after he had gone to bed. 1t was
composed Of the candidates upon the
Popu1ist state ticket and q few MEM
bers OF the Populist state committee,
He had consented to see them,

in the way Of complete unity and har-
mony among the forces engaged in
the battle Of the people against the
gold standard policy, the trusts, syn
dictates and money lenders of Wall
street.
The conference only lasted fifteen
minutes, and Mr.. Bryan was left to
sleep while the Populists retired for
a brief conference with Chairman
Martin of the Silver Democratic State
committee. They made Mr.. Martin no
further promises than that they
would confer among themselves and
then say definitely whether they
would withdraw the State ticket.

I took failed to give me the relief I
