The exposure to all sorts and
conditions of weather that lum-
herman is called upon to endure in
the camps often produces severe
colds, which, II not promptly
checked, result in congestion or
pneumonia. Mr.. J. o. Davenport,
ex.manager Of the Fort Bragg Red
wood Co., an immense institution
at Fort Bragg, Cal, says they sell
large quantities Of Chamberlsin's
Cough Remedy, at the company's
store and that he has himself used
this remedy for severe cold and
obtained immediate relief. This
medicine prevents any tendency Of
a cold toward pneumonia and in
sures a prompt recovery. For sale

The conspicuous decorations at the
Populist state convention ut Abilene
are gilded cross with theword emo"
written over it, and a crown of thorns
surmounted by the same word. This
is the first time in the political his
tory Of this country that the symbols
of the Christian religion have been
dragged into partisan campaign.
The smart Aleck boy orator will be
wise to put stop to it before several
million voters who are not in the habit
of associating the cruciixion and the
crown of thorns with the egotistical
personality of Bryan become disgust
ed with his campaign methods and
with the crowd he is leading. Topeka

The Democratic convention al
Hutchinson did not swallow the Pop
ul:st State ticket with good grace.
The News says:
The state ticket was received with
groans and gnashing of teeth. 1t
was SO unpalatable that it was taken
down in chunks and not masticated,
one Office at time. It was bitter, it
was nauseating, but down it went.
The ties of alliance with the Popu-
lists will rest lightly on the Demo-
Gratis this year. They feel that the
Populists have given no more than
they should have done to secure the
electoral ticket for Bryan and that
there was no value received for tho
state ticket. In the retirement Of
the Australian ballot booth, alone
with God and lead pencil, the Dem
ocrats of Kansas will sugar coat that
Populist pill with many Republican

-
Free silver Republicans who have
been inclined to look to the Demo
Gratis and Populists to remedy the
evils brought upon the country by
Democratic rule, should read the fol-
lowing from Tom Reeds opening
speech at Alfred, Me-, and then stop
and reflect.
I'll were going to give good adj
vice to the people Of the whole United
States I should take this time to do
it. Just now there is a great deal of
froth and foam in the air, and some
time is really needful to disclose clear
" to every eye how much of it is the
result Of the temporary breeze which
stills at nightfall and how little is of
that heavy ground swell which shows
that great elementary forces are at
work. However, suddenly all this
rush and stir has set itself into action.
1.-TWO months ago no man of any
standing would have risked his repu-
tation as prophet by limiting the
slightest doubt of Republican success.
Four years of actual trial of the oppo-
sition under guidance of its best and
twice trusted leader has left no
shadow of question as to public duty.
"Two months have slipped away
hardly time to ripen a strawberry
much less system of finance-and
there are those who tell us that all
things have changed; that those very
men who were being prepared for
decent burial had burst the cere-
ments of the grave and transfgured
by some new arrangements of crowns
of thorns AMI crosses of gold, were to
lead US to new happiness and even
repair all the damage they themselves
had wrought.
''Now this may be SO, but to me it
does not seem probable. Human ex-
perience in every walk of life teaches
us that those who have blundered will
blunder again and that the wisest
course is not to employ ship captain
who has not yet emerged from Ills
last shipwreck, but the safe sailor
who has never lost ship, a passen-
ger, or a letter, but who has sailed
safe through every sea. He may
have lost masts and sails and even
been rudderless for hours, but if he
has every time come safe to shore
better have him than all the landmen
who are forever shouting what they
can do and never dare to tell of what
hey have done.
Boosters are worth nothing.
Deeds are facts and are forever and
ever. Talk dies on the empty air.
Better pound Of performance than
. shipload of language"

their consumption may even be deleterious
