MARVELLOUS RESULTS.

From letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale. Mich, we
are PERMITTED to make this extract:
II have no hesitation in Recommend
ing DR.. Kings Discovery, as the results
were almost marvellous in the case of
my wife, While I was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rivers Junction size
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe Terrible par
oxsyms of coughing would last hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A
friend recommended DR.. Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results"

The North Star State took a

The North Star State took a
long stride forward last week, ad-
vanc1ng her bright prospects, for
increased wealth in all branches of
industry and enterprises. The
free silver party had claimed
Minnesota and it had been gener-
ally placed IN the doubtful COL
umn, yet it gave Mckinley the
third largest plurality, $4,000, and
elected Coy. Clough with good
plurality. The plurality of Gov.
Clough was reduced, for several
reasons. He was the object Of a
bitter political fight within his
own party, for personal spite and
his opponent drawing largely
from his nationality. The defeat
of Lind was creditable act for
Minnesota to accomplish. Each
season it is said that 100000
or more outside capital is invested
in the wheat movement. This in
vestment would have have been
held had the populists succeeding
in obtaining control of the state.
Thousands of dollars were with
drawn from this state by eastern
parties, not capitalists, but by
people of moderate means, pend
ing the result of election. Now
these people feel confident that
they can safily send them money
here for investment at a reason-
adle rate of interest which will
materially assist in enriching our
state, the farmer, and laboring
men of all kinds will receive a
proportional benefit.

Dan Shells friends are sorry he

means certain that they will adj

yesterday that Shell could have
the Office if he wanted it, but he
stopped the rumores by positively
stating that he was not a candidate.
This all may be, and still there is
no especial reason why he should
not be elected. People have often
held aloof and still secure the
plum. This has been known to
happen in many crses in politics.

asked to be informed Of the probable

off the bee by the next train and wired
"The queen will arrive by 3;4o TINS ai'-

MARBLEHEAD BOYS.
Marvellous Depravity with Which They

writer in the Boston Gazette, OF a story
which Polly told the other day, when
she came up from Marblehead Neck to
cheer my malarial gloom. 1t seems
Marblehead boys have the reputation OF
heinp the worst in the state, and
worthy minister who went there TO MI
q vacant pulpit one Sunday had ocea-
sion to verify the truth of this, for on
his way to church he was unmercliully
booted and stoned. Filled with rlgh'-
eous indignation, the worthy divine re-
marked from the pulpit in mourn1ul
tones upon the deprayity manifested
by the old towns boys. Some time later
he again visited the place, and this time
he met with no insults and did noteve
see n single hoodlum on his churchward
walk. Being just man he desired 70
praise as well as blame, and so he sa'a
that he was truly rejoiced to see thau
the youth had seen the error OF Their
WAYS and had turned aside from the
nath Of the evilloers. Thereupon arose
small boy in the gallery, who shrleked
forth in gleeful malignity: Don't you

he thought cough syrup but in
stead got the carbolic acid bottle and
took mouthful before be knew what
it was. The pain was excruclatlng
and tongue, lips, mouth and throat
we're feariully burned. Dr. Mcshes
administered soothing applications
and antidotes and after few hours
