The laboring vote, he is now con-

that they will go to the polls and
when they go inside the booths they

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Mansfield, Mo-,
writes: "For six years I have been a
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. G.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended SIS,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though l am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your SIS. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

10 REBUKES RUFFIANISM,

Within the walls of Yale College
there have been many discussions as
to the best plans for the civilization
of the Indians. 1t never occurred to
the scholars and students of that in
stltution that the day would come
when the Indians would be holding
meetings to discuss the want of civili-
cation at Yale and to take steps to keep
their sons away from the contamina-
ton of association with tie sons of the
efete East. There is word of sug-
gestiveness in these resolutions adopted
by the Cherokee, Creeks, Choctaws,
and Seminoles:
''Resolved, That we contemplate
with deep regret the recent insulting
treatment of WilliamJ. Bryan by stu
dents Of college in the land of the
boosted white mans civilization, and
we a1monish all Indians who think of
sending their sons to Yale that asso-
Citations with such students could but
prove hurtful alike to their morals and
their progress towards the higher
standard Of civilization. '-News and
