Good News for Asthma Sufferers.

We arc glad to announce that the Kola
plant recently discovered on the Congo River,
West Africa, has proved itself sure cure for
Asthma as claimed at the time. We have the
testimony of ministers of the gospel, doctors,
business men and farmers, all speaking of the
marvellous curative power Of this new discov-
cry. Hon. L. G. Clute. of Greeley, Iowa, writes
that lie could not lie down night or day from
Asthma, and the Kola Plant cured him at
once. Rev. G. Ellsworth Stump, pastor Of the
Congregational Church at Newell. Iowa, was
cured by it of Asthma of twenty years stand
ing and many others give similar testimony.
To prove to you beyond doubt its wonderful
curative power, the Kola Importing Co., No.
1854 Broadway New York, will send . large case
Of the Kola Compound free by mail to every
reader of The NATIONAL TRIBUNE who suffers
from any form of Asthma In return they only
ask that you tell your neighbors OF 1t when cured
yourself This is very fair, and We advise all
sufferers from Asthma to send for the Case. Is
costs you nothing.

which opened in valley. In the distance
/ noticed some large tents standing all alone
alongside of a running brook of clear water.
When I entered the tents saw some IS
wounded Union soldiers, who had been aban-
doned by the doctor.
As soon as the army commenced to retreat
they appealed to me to stay with them, for
there was not one able to help himself So
I stayed, dressing their wounds the best
could, giving them fresh water. There was
not morsel of anything to eat. That night
about o'clock SIX rebel stragglers came to
the tent to find out who occupied it. On
finding all wounded Union soldiers they
gave up part of their supply of grub, and
some roasted rye for coffee. They built q
fire, as the night was chilly, and remained
until morning, and before departing one of

the Lieutenant of my company. He was
detailed on the battlefield to look after the
wounded. He gave me lot of bread and
canned goods, and promised to send cid as
soon as possible. distributed the eatables
to the men, and remained all night The
next morning bright and early saw q squad
of cavalry, 10 in number. They motioned
me to come to them. When I got about 100
feet from them they brought their carbines
down to charge, and wanted to know who
occupied those tents.
When l told them that was the only one
who could help himself, they made me
march about 200 feet ahead of them, warn
ing me if deceived them they would shoot

them, and those who were in the tents were
not able to do so. After surrounding the
tents, to make sure that all was safe, they
entered and took all the medicine boxes
surgical instruments, and then rode away.
In the afternoon of the same day hospital
wagons and doctor came and took all the
wounded to Washington. These men had

The afternoons fight showed conclusively
that the fire of battle was gone down in the
breasts of Early's soldiers. The morning had
tanned them. At 3 o'clock we got the order
to advance, led on by the gallant Mckenzie,
who rode through the interval between the
65th N. Y. and ID Conn.,, and, cap in hand,
dashed ahead of our brigade at the enemy's
line. He was followed, but as he fell
wounded he had the satisfaction Of knowing
that the rebel lines were broken, and it was

Gray fully appreciated the fact that his

mastery resources, and resorted to clever
trick to prevent me from getting my news
over the wires. He rushed to the telegraph
Office, and, obtaining possession of the wire,
he began to write up and transmit items OF
news of questionable authority, furnished
by an intelligent contraband," to borrow an
army phrase of the day. Knowing that he
had absolutely nothing of Importance to
send of, begged him to give way to me,
for I was hungry and travel-worn, having
been almost constantly in the saddle for
nearly week; but he merely laughed at
me- and vowed that he would hold the wire
until midnight at any cost, and produced

transmit the entire Book Of Genesis to the
Tribune before he would yield to another
paper. Knowing his obstinacy. lost little
