Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. j..
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract: II
have no hesitation in recommending
DIR. Kings New Discovery, as the re.
suits were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible parox-
ysms of coughing would last for hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A
friend recommended DIR. Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results. !"

THE Democratic county convention
will be held at the Court House today

nate Popocrat fusion ticket. 1t is
generally supposed that the few Popu-
list delegates who refused to name a
ticket at Fountain Park will be given
place or two by the Democrats in ex-
change for their action in leaving the
track clear and allowing their prerog-
ative as the original fat money party
to be usurped by the followers of the
Boy Orator.

be smoothed down with the nomination

Cheap Money Insures Cheap Labor.

1t has been proved scores Of times in
different countries that cheapening the
money by lowering the standard in.
creases the cost of living at least three
or four times as fast as it increases the
wages of working people The most
pitiful thing about this cheap.money
craze at the present time is just1this
feature of it. Whatever Bryan, Will
hams and the rest of them may tell the
workingman to the contrary, one of the
chief reasoas why the newspapers and
the best cl.ss of public men earnestly
oppose the free coinage scheme is that
they dread more than words can tell to
see the destitution and wretchedness
that would be sure to come upon that
great class Of the community least able
TO look out for itself in panic times in

great industrial and commercial nations
of the world were to be exchanged for

1t is generally believed that the big

of great Importance and indicates a

The Carter Oil Company's test well
on the Sarah Wilson tract in the San.
cho neighborhood, Tyler county, is a
duster in the Big Injun.
OF the big strike at Cairo the Senti-
mel SAYS: Connection was made yester-
day morning with 1876 barrel tank,
the only one that could be procured,
and the we'll was drilled 12 feet into
sand.7 Fromoi11sE o'clock yesterday
morning until 6 yesterday evening
about 60 barrels was put into, the tank.
IT Is the intention to drill through c,the
Big Injun about 70 feet and then tube
the we'll. This will require several
days, and until that is accomplished the
production is mere conjecture. Oil
men state that the well is good for 200
barrels day.

so closely watched on account of its
being on south line with the Ogdin
