more illicit distilleries in Lincoln

State, and that the corn ased by
them would feed all the destitute
people of the parish. And yet, a
mass-meeting was held at Ruston,
on last Saturday, for the purpose OF
relieving the drouth-stricken suffer
ers of that parish, at which money
was subscribed for the purchase OF
$4,000 bushels of corn, which is not

An ex-Washington City newspaper
correspondent prints his dream, as
follows, which, we earnestly hope
may ''come true:"
81 dreamed that I was in Wash
ington City, and while walking out
one bright clear Sunday morning,
near the White House, 1 met the
Hon. W. ]. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan
They seemed to be walking from the
direction of the White House towards
New York avenue, and after passing
I looked after them and saw them
walking toward church. A little
girl about ten years of age, apparent
ly, accompanied them. It seemed to
be in the Spring of the year, judging
from the bright and beautiful wealth
or, and it is at this time that the
President-elect is inaugurated."

Monopolists seem to take a great
interest in workingmen. If there
was any danger of the silver dollar
depreciating to 53-cent dollar, the
capitalist would be the last man to
warn the laborer. He would buy the
53-cent dollar and pay his contracts
with them. If the capitalist really
sympathizes for the workingman he
can show it by paying honest wages.

Yazoo River to the Mississippi River,
near Vicksburg, Miss. 1t is proposed
to change the channel of the Yazoo
River 80 as to make it run by Vicks-

benefit Vicksburg, commercially and

from the lake to the false end of Old

sent cutting is about 500 feet in
width, and will average three feet in
depth.

CAN CURE ASTHMA AND HAY
FEVER
A Noted Physician Offers to Prove
This to All Sufferers In LoS
Angeles on Thursday

The majority Of sufferers from asthma
and kindred complaints. after trying
doctors and numberless remedies adver-
tised as positive cures, without avail,
have come to the conclusion that there
is no cure for this most distressing dis
ease, and these same persons will be
more in doubt and skeptical when they
learn, through the columns of the press.
that DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann. the recog-
nized authority, who has treated more
cases of these diseases than any living
doctor, has achieved success by perfect
ing a remedy, which not only gives i'm
mediate relief In the worst cases, but has
positively cured thousands Of sufferers
who were considered incurable. These
were just as skeptical as some Of our
readers now are. DR.. Schiffmann's rem
edy no doubt possesses the merit which
is claimed for it, or he would not author
ize this paper to announce that he Is not
suffering from asthma, hay fever or
bronchitis in this city one liberal free
trial box" of his cure. but urgently re-
quests all sufferers to call at Sale &
Sons drug store, 220 South Spring street.
from a. m. till p. m. Thursday, Octo-
Der 8, and receive package absolutely
free of charge, knowing that in making
the claim he does for his cure a strong
doubt may arise in the minds Of many,
and that personal test as he offers to
all, will be more convincing and prove
its merits than the publishing Of thous-
ands of testimonials from persons who
have been permanently cured by the use
Of his asthma cure Or. Schiffmann's
Asthma Cure" as 1t is called, has been
sold by druggists Of this city ever since
it was first introduced. although many
persons may never have heard of 1t, and
it is with view to reaching these that
he makes this offer. This Is certainly
most generous and fair offer. and all
who are suffering from any of the above
complaints should remember the date
and place where the distribution will be
made, and avail themselves of the same.
Persons living out of this city who de-
sire to test the efficacy of this most Won
derful remedy will receive a package
free by mail by writing to DIR. r. Schiff-
mann, 315 Rosabel street. st. Paul, Mimi,
providing their letter Is received before
October 18, as no free samples can be OBJ
tanned after that date.
