Another confidence game was
PLAYED on an old man and his son
at the depot last night, by one OF
the gang that plies their avocation
on the railroads running INTO this
city. A Mr.. Jennings and his son
started from Brownboro, Texas, a
small station on the Cotton Belt,
for Morrilton, Arkansas, yesterday
and after paying their fare to this
place had only $2.50left to get them
further on their way. Mr.. Jeu-
niugs tells us that man came to
him on the train, pumped him,
found out where he was going, how
much money he had and seemed to
be interested in him very much.
His new acquaintance said his name
was johnson, that his brother was
at the head of the ticket depart
ment in this city and they had a
way of selling tickets at half price,
and he would assist him when he
arrived here, in procuring trans
yortation for himself and son, The
train arrived and the confidence
man cot the old mans $3.50, and
telling him to remain there he would
soon be back with the tickets 1t
is needless to say that he never
came back and that the old man
and boy were left without penny,
and when we interviewed him he
was hungry and wanted to be shown
the Mayor. to see if he would not
help him out Of his troubles,

a little man, and paid his bet. We
like Joe and hated to beat him out
of anything, but we must educate
our friends, you know, and the best
way is to catch them and bump
their heads by winning their hats.
We have another sucker on our
string-triend Joe Winter-whose
hat we are certain to wear after
Bryan is declared winner on the
3rd of November, and if this thing
keeps up, we can keep our kid in

done with them. We have not

Beware Of
the Knife!

No one who has not been through the
ordeal, can possibly have any concep-
ton of the terrible fear and dread occa-
stoned by the anticipation of surgical
operation. Well grounded, too, per-
haps, in majority of cases, for the keen
blade OF the surgeon is too often used
indiscreetly, and where it cannot posi-
bly, do any good.
1t is little less than folly to submit
to surgical operation for a disease of
the blood, and such a course always
proves either fatal or useless.
Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Hartvil1e, Mo-,
had an interesting experience with the
doctors recently, and was on the verge
of painful surgical operation. He
writes: 81 hereby add my unqualified
endorsement of your excellent remedy,
S. S. S. For six years l have been
sufferer from scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts of
physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis, failslsts,
reduce the enlargement. After slM
months constant treatment here my
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. At this critical mo-
nent friend recommended S. S. S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
| gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S. S. S. long age,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o. If this endorse
ment will serve you in any way use it."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good. and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
| fruitless or fatal, S. S. S. is the only
real blood remedy. it gets at the root of
| the disease and forces it out perna-
nently.
Cancer is another disease for which
| the doctors at once resort to the knife,
| and there has never been case cured
by an operation. S. S. S. has made
| some wonderful cures of Cancer, full ac-
| counts of which will be sent out upon
application.
S. S. S. is a blood remedy for real
blood troubles; it cures the most obsti-
nate cases of Scrofu1a, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, ETC., which other so-called
blood remedies fail to touch. S: S. S.
gets at the root of the disease and forces
it out permanently. Valuable books

One of the minute points of etiquette
upon which the king of Hanover insist.
ed was that he would not receive visit.
ors for first presentation to him except
in uniform. Sir Joseph Grove had nc
uniform, and he comments on "the fact
that king who was utterly blind could
see (sic) unless the person he wished to
honor was in uniform. " An American
journalist was once refused an interview
with the same king of Hanover on the
same ground, but he was ultimately
more successful, for, pleading that he
was an American republican and there
fore could not do otherwise than appear
without uniform, he was received.

of all cases of consumption can, if taken in
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally i'll use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy enulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like ballfaffves
Although by many believed to be incura-
BILE, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in ali its
earlier stages, consumption is durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
Cenfdge Of cases, and we believe, |itlly %
per cent are cured by DR.. Piefce's Golden
Medical Discovery even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular lnatter), great loss of flesh
and extreme e1naciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal diseasef You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal 1nalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy e1nulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
