Men and women tremble at the mere
thought of the thief and assassin who steals
in at midnight to rob and slay- Without a
nuaIm these same people face the deadly
advances of a foe infinitely more dangerous.
All the robbers and assassius in the history
as consumption kills in a single year. One
sixth of the population of the world dies of
this deadly pestilence. It turks in every
home and in every public place, waiting for
its victims. There is but one protection
against it The microbes of consumption
may be safely defed by those who keep
their blood rich in tissue building elements
and free from impurities. The lungs if
supplied with pure blood, furnish no foot
hold for the germs of consumption.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the greatest of all known blood purifiers. It
IS the best tonic and invigOrator. As flesh
builder it has no equal. It has cured thou
sands of cOusuu1ptive who have been pro-
nOunced incurable by physicians. It fills
the arteries with rich, red, tissue building
blood, and drives from the system all dis
ease germs Thousands have testified to
its merits.

EASTERN ALLIANCE.
Rumor That England and Russia Will
Unite to Organize China.

London, Aug. 25.-The Daily Mail to-
day publishes an interview with an an
OnymOus Russian statesman in which
the latter is quoted as suggesting that
Great Britain cooperate with Russia
to reOrganize China, Russia taking
charge of the north portion and Great
Britain the south.
This statesman interviewed says he
regards the F'rance-Russian alliance as
being without real strength. Russia,
he adds, would much prefer England
as an ally in the east.
He speaks of Ii Hung Chang's tour
as the endeavor of China to escape
from her Russian creditors and pic
lures Surope as vieing in servilty Lii
Hung, whose powers and position he
asserts are not those of a statesman
but of a party domestic.

A FRIENDLY RIVALRY.
1t Exists Between the sherif7s Force
and Police.

There is feud of long standing be-
tween the police and sherins depart
ment.
Sheriff Kepley told one of the officers
a few days ago that he was ready to
enter into a boxing, wrestling or talk
ing contest with the police force, the
contest to be carried on by picked men
from both departments.
Patrol Driver Bundy is the wrestler
and Sheriff Kepley was so informed.
He promptly notified the police that
Under Sheriff Lucas would take care of
Mr.. Bundy.
A day or two afterward Lucas was
passing the station. Bundy and one of
his brother officers were on the side
walk and the challenge was immediate
~ passed. Lucas made dive for
Bundy and caught him amidships. He
made movement to toss him into the
cellarway when the other officer inter
fered and saved Bundy from an I'M
pleasant experience.
Sheriff Kepley is to represent the
sheriff's office in the talking match, but
the police have not yet selected their
representative.

HOW GOLD VOTES ARE GOT.
A Ballot Box at Parsons Where Gold
Man Voted II Times.

Sometime ago a voting box was placed
at the M. K. & T. station at Parsons,
Kan, supposedly for the purpose of Sc
curing a correct poll of the men on that
road in reference to the money ques-
ton Tt now seems, however, that the
real purpose was to endeavor to prove
that the railroad men are for gold,
member of the Republican central COM
mittee having the scheme in charge.
The Parsons Eclipse has the following
to say about the matter:'A gold stand
ard man yesterday remarked that he
had voted II times thus far for gold,
and that he intended to vote every
time he passed there, and an investi-
cation of the matter shows beyond
doubt that the intention was to stuff
the box and make an attempt to make
political capital out of it, alleging that
the railroad men are for the gold
standard by an overwhelming majority
There is no restraint on any who choose
to vote, and anyone can vote as many
times as he desires to. If all of the
voters vote II times there will at least
be IL times as many votes in the box
as there are employees of the Katy in
this city Any put up jobs of this kind
viii not change the fact that a vast
majority of the railroad men in this
city are for free silver
