Flesh

You naturally lose flesh in
the summer and running down
is so easy. You get a little
weaker each day without hard
ly noticing it. There is loss OF
appetite, headache, weakness
Of the muscles, disturbed sleep,
weakness ofmemory, andthese
are the beginning of nervous
prostration. Iron and tonics
and bitters may afford some
temporary relief, but what you
need is a food for body, brain
and nerves.

Death of Mrs. rlary SwadIey,

Mrs. Mary Ellen Swadley died at
her home at Aryada, near Denver,
Colorado, Wednesday evening, Oc-
tober 21st. 1896, the disease being
progressive paralysis:
Mrs Swadley was born in Mis-
souri,, in the year 1889, and came
to Colorado with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Pollock, in 1863, where
she was married October 4, 1866, to
George Calvin Swadley, second son
of the late William Swadley, of
Hlghtown, Virginia.
Her husband came west from
Virginia in 1856 to Iowa, and from
there to Colorado in 1859, being
now one of the few remaining Col
orado pioneers.
Mrs. Swadley's life was always
spent on the frontier. She was an
estimable lady, of great courage
and energy, and favorite among
her many friends. Being retiring
by nature, she spent most OF her
time at home with her family, and
was a faithful wife and loving
mother. Her death occurred on
the farm where she had resided
since her marriage over thirty years
400. She was the mother of five
children. 4 husband and four
children-a son and three daugh-
ters, all grown--suryiYe her.
The end was FASTENED by a fall
received last June. which broke her
thigh and confined her to her bed,
where she fingered eighteen weeks
before death released her. The OBJ
sequies occurred at the family resi-
dence on Friday, at l o'clock KEY.

Offensive Partisan chiefs.

Editor Iunes.-In my business visits
through different bureaus of the various de-
partTnentS of the government, have seen,
from time 10 time, photographs, woodcuts
and other pictures of Palmer. Mckinley
and Bryan On var GUS clerks desks. These
evidences of the preferences OF the various
clerks have been generally regarded as
utterly harmless indications of the clerks
preferences III the late poIucal contest,
closed November last.
A short time ago incidentally learned
thata veteran soldier who lost nlslegln the
defense of his country in his native State,
on the bloody field OF Gettysburgh and who
had had on his desk q " OOdcut OF his Gem
rade and fellow soldier, W lillian Mckinley,
had been asked by his Populst- Democratic
chief to ZEN owe the said Mckinley wood
cut. i could not believe the report. so /
called on The said soldier to verify it.
He Informed me that the report was true,
Jlathls chief called him into his tthe CHIEFS
room and politely requested that the pic
ture should be taken down.
The clerk urged that the picture was not
necessarily even aneXpression of hispolitical
preferences. that the election was over and
tina tMa jor Mckinley was then the / resident
elect of the country, and was moreover his
comrade in the q. a . X. and in the LOYAL
Legion, as We'll as comrade in the grand
army that put down the rebellion.
But the chief, fresh home November 81
from hiscampaien Tor Bryan, thought other
wise, ana so informed the clerk that he
preferred hattie picture be removed. The
clerk,a soldier, W no hadlearncdi i'll the ranks
to obey, took down the picture
1t seems - me, and IL may o seem to
others, that this chief made himself un-
necessarily and extensively q PARTISAN in
this case. A wiser man would have passed
the picture by and made his only Conce IN
as to this clerk the questions: Is he COM

the Commissioners may have known. or at
least suspected, the irresponsibility Of this

they had no power to do aught but to
