POLITICAL POINTERS.

Who's afraidf Somebody is,
and it seems that his name is
Grover Cleveland. He is afrai0
that Congress is about to compel
him to aid the Cubans. He sue
ceeded in getting the resolution
declaring the Cubans entitled TO
immadiate recognition as bel
ligerants and asking that the
President use his good offices TO
persuade Spain to recognize the
independence of Cuba, which WAS
adopted by the Senate with only
six dissenting votes, made econ
current, instead of ''ioint, F." which
makes it Just about as valuable TO
the Cubans as the concurrent reso-
luton adopted by both branches
of Congress some weeks ago ard
which is now hid away in a pigeon
hole in some White House desk
has been to the Armenians whom
it was intended to help. He want
ed the resolution made concurrent
because it would then leave him
free to act just as he pleased ard
Just as though such a resolution
had never been heard Of. He WIS
afraid that the resolution would
be made Joint, as many Senators
wished it to be, as in that case lie
would have been compelled To-
show his hand, either by vetoing
it or allowing it to become a law,
with or without his signature.

cured in Four Weeks.

THE WONDERFUL SUCCESS VI Dh
FULKERsON THE ENDOPATH is
DAILY ADDING To THE
HAPPINESS OF HUMANITY
Only the truth crowns every
permanent success.
The success of DR.. FulkersOD
has been won by his skill and
ability and his constant care OF
and attention to every patient un-
der Endopathic treatment.
For months he has been pre-
senting to the public truthful testi-
mony-the strongest evidence that
he is curing disease that other
methods of treatment fail to re-
lieve.
Here is the testimony gathered
by the writer of Mr.. A G. Nc
Clelland of Kirksville, a success
full breeder of Victoria swine and
fine poultry. He has leased the
Water Hill Stock Farm near the
fair grounds, owned by j. G. Jami-
son. The testimony in hand is
best told as related to the writer.
Mr.. McClelland says, "twelve
years ago | was in the employ of
the Sc. Joseph 4 Western R. r.,
in the capacity of brakeman. My
run vas between st. Joseph, Mo :,
and Hanover. Kans. In letting off
break | wrenched or strained my
left arm and shoulder, causing
continuous dull pains in arm,
shoulder, neck and back of head.
After years of suffering my injury
finally developed rheumatism and
Neuralgia. These pains were ex-
f 'utiating, preventing restful sleep

, Nor could 1 put on or remove my
coat without assistance. The
muscles of the left side of the neck
were contracted, drawing my hea6
to that side. These ailments made
life miserable.
Now after four weeks treatmen
the pains have disappeared. 1 Cal
