FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE PRESCRIPTION OF A GREAT REMEDY
Which Cured Him After Everything Else
 Failed.


 Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebod- ings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let-up to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep IS almost impossible and under such strain men are scarcely responsible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until it was a question whether he had not better take dose of poison and thus end all his troubles. But DroVidential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medi- cines that not only completely rsetored his general health, but enlarged his weak. emaciated parts to natural size and Vigor and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the pre- scription of this wonderful remedy free. Now, when l say free, I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weak ened man to get the benefit of my expe- rienee.
 l am not philanthropist, nor do I pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such a remedy as the one that cured me. Send me your name and address today. Do not try to study out how l can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mail the prescription, but send for the remedy and learn that there are few things on earth that, although they cost nothing to get, they are worth a fortune to some men, and mean lifetime of happiness to most of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box 1Sl, Kalamazoo, Mich, and the prescrip- ton will be mailed in a plain sealed en- Velope. 830-su&wed-tf

WHY BRYAN READ HIS SPEECH.
Wanted II Reported Correctly - Will
Make an Active Campaign.

Wanted Il Reported Correctly - VIII
Make an Active Campaign.
NEW York, Aug. 14-Bryan explained
yesterday his reasons for reading his
speech in reply to the notification of his
nomination at Madison Square Garden.
He said: knowing that it would DO
printedin full thought it more impor-
tant that it should reach in correct form
the millions who will read it than that
the delivery should please the few thou
sands who were present" Bryan was busy
yesterday comforting with the members OF
the national committee here.
One of the things which was decided
upon was that Bryan will travel the coun-
try over, addressing the crowds from the
rear Of u railroad car. An announcement
to this effect was prepared by Chairman
Jones. 1t Is as follows: 1T has been de-
cided that Mr.. Bryan will enter a lively
interest In the campaign about Sept. l.,
and continue on the stump until the cleo
ton. In order to obtain a much needed
rest and to prepare the letter Of accept
ance before the speech making begins, he
will spend the next two weeks at some
quiet place not yet decided upon. The
visit to Bath, Me, will therefore be post
poncd until the latter part of september
when MIR. Bryan will make number of
speeches in New England"

A Sturdy Boatswain.

In December, 1898, the Antelope
packet fought desperate action off the
coast Of Jamaica against the privateer
Atalanta. Fever was at work among the
crew Of the Antelope, and she had but
two and twenty men fit for duty
against 60 in the privateer. The Alta
lanta, knowing where her own superb
Gritty lay. bore down upon the packet,
threw out graphing irons, and tried to
carry her by boarding. By the ready
ability of the packets commander, Cur
tbs, the first attack was defeated with
loss, but he was presently shot dead,
and the command passed to the boat.
swain, a man named Pasco. He was SO
illiterate that he could not write his
name, but he understood how to COM
mand ship in action, and he continued
the defense with such vigor that the
privateersmen cast loose the grapples
and prepared to sheer off. They were
not, however, to escape SO easily.
Before the two vessels could separate
Pasco ran aloft, and flashing the Alta
lanta's square sailyard to the Antelope e
foreshrouds, hammered away till the
enemy, for all tho bloody flag Of NC

head, cried out for mercy. On taking
possession Of his prize Pasco found 81
of his opponents dead Oh the deck and

HORSE MEAT uEFENDeo.
In Authority Claims Prejudice Prohibits
1t, General Use.

Livery body is aware that the horse il
the cleanest Of all domestic animals II
will not eat anything but good, healthy
food. nor drink any but pure water. A
horse would rather starve than swill
the rotten stuff often given to pigs and
cattle. 1t is nothing but prejudice that
prevents us from eating horsefiesh.
A similar prejudice retarded the in.
PRODUCTION of the potato 100 years ago.
Today we could not get along without
1t. Yet the prejudice against potatoes
can be explained. The people mad been
told that this American root caused
fever and rendered the ground unfit for
all other crops The exception against
horsefiesh is not even founded upon any
objection to its properties. 1t is solely
due to the influence Of the church. The
clergy did everything possible to pre-
vent the newly converted Saxons from
returning to their heathenish practices
and prohibited the use of horsefiesh to
stop the sacrifices to Odin and Thor. A
long time passed before these sacrifices
We're altogether discontinued.
The nations Of Europe have suffered
enormous loss by this prohibition Of
horsefiesh. Especially from the human.
tartan point of view the results are most
dcplorable. Millions Of people are forced
to live on potatoes and similar food
wanting in nutritive qualities, while
millions of pounds of the very best meat
are wasted. Hcrsef1esh is the most
nourishing of all meats. and it's taste is
hardly to be distinguished from that of
beef. The flesh of horse fed ON oats
has smell similar to gooseflesh. The
fat is preferable to lard. Above all, it
should be remembered that no flesh is
so healthy as that of the horse Trichi.
nOsis and similar diseases are unknown
in horses. tuberculosis. very common
in cattle, is very rare in horses

The depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company spans Brush creek and the large
