What is Rupture q?

In every human being there are two
openings one on each side of the lower
parJs of the abdomen called ''Inguinal
Rings" through which passes the
Spermatic Cords or FallOpian Tubes,
and are formed by the muscles and
ligaments. When they fit close around
the cord it is an impossibility for any
one to have Rupture. But when,
from any cause, these muscles become
relaxed from and the opening too large
all that prevents the intestineS from
coming out is the lining membrane or
peritoneum, and severe strain, cough
or sneeze will force them out, when it
is called Inguinal hernia, and if it fol-
lows the cord down into the scrotum,
it is called scrotal hernia. There it
will be seen there is nothing torn or
rent, but simply relaxed muscles and
a strained membrane.
Our theory of cure is to retain the
membrane and intestines with the alb
dominal cavity and develop the mus
Giles to their normal condition, there
by closing the ''rings" and making a
making a permanent cure.
This we accomplish by the use of
DR.. BARDWELL'S BAR LOCK
TRUSS, and the use of our MUSCLE
INVIGORATOR, applied externally.
A permanent cure guaranteed with
out any surgical operation or risks.

IN GIDDY PARIS.
Russian Royalty are Given an Enthusiasts
tic Reception,


Paris, Oct. 6.-The car and czarina
arrived here safely at the Ranelagh sta
ton, from Cherbourg, at 10 o'clock this
morning. The weather was fine and the
countless decorations showed up SPLEEN
didly in the sunlight. Their majesties
were accorded most rapturous reception
and reached the Russian embassy, where
they will reside during their visit TO this
city, at II o'clock. The crowds began to
gather along the line of the procession
shortly after daylight, and by n. m. the
neighborhood of the embassy was throng-
ed with enthusiastic people. A double
line of troops held the route from the
railroad station to the embassy and the
soldiers were reinforced by lines of gem
darmes, sergeants de vile, detectives, the
latter including Il number of agents from
the Russian secret police and picked men
from the nihilist detective corps. The
decorations eclipsed anything ever seen
in the French capital
Russian and French flags entwined or
floating side by side predominated but
the trees, balconies, roofs, lamp posts,
statues, anything and almost everything
was utilized in the decorative effects
planned to impress the car with the en-
thusiasm of France Mt the visit of her
friend and ally to Paris. The trees, barred

blasts. were thickly covered with artificial
leaves and flowers.
The arrival of the distinguished tray
elers was signalled to the expectant
throngs by fanfare OF trumpets, and
the air was rent with roars of ''Vive lie
Tsar," Vive l'Empereur," "Vive In Re-
publique."
After the usual formal presentations,
which took place in Il magnificent salon
| constructed especially for that purpose,
their majesties and President Faure and
their suites entered the gorgeous state
carriages in waiting and the state entry
into Paris begun.
The scene outside the depot and along
the entire route to the embassy was one
of frenzied enthusiasm. Shout after shout,
roar after roar, arose from the multitude
gathered to welcome the Russian tray
elers.
AS the imperial carriage was about to
enter the gates of the embassy the czar,
smiling and evidently pleased, recognized
this welcome with military salute and
the cZarina, who was charmingly attired
in white, bowed on every side.
There was n state dinner at the Elysee
tonight and the days ceremonies ended
with semi-gala performance ut the
Coincide Franchise attended by the car
and cZarina, President Faure and all the
| members of the French official society.
AT the state dinner, which was n mag
nifcent affair, President Faure made q
felicitious speech to the car.

RAINY DAY AT CANTON,
But This Did Not Keep the Crowds of
Enthusiasts Away.

Canton, Ohio, Oct. 6.-The regular
westbound train at 1906 brought two ex-
ira coaches filled with shouting McKin-
lev men from East Brady, Clarion
| county, Pa. They were headed by a
| band and banner announcing the party as
"plutocrats of Clarion county, Ea." The
| delegation was introduced by n. II. Ora
ham and addressed by Major Mckinley
from his front porch Major Mckinley
| said in his speech, after referring to the
| condition of business, etc.
| s'If we will but follow the lamp of eX-
| pecience, and follow in the direction
which the light of the lamp leads us on
| the third day of November, we will vote
down the policies which have brought us
| these conditions, and vote to continue Il
| monetary system built upon solid basis,
which will give us the best money in the
world, money which .panics cannot dis
| turb and business failures cannot depre-
ciate We want good times plenty of
work, good wages and good money. How
will you vote? l thank you most heartily
for this call, and bid you all good morn
ing.'
Rain and slush did not keep the big
delegations from Canton to-day. No
more enthusiastic callers have been here
than those from Tonawanda and Buffalo
and Syracuse, n. Y, and Leneweeco,
Mich. And through the drenching show
ers the callers marched to the Mckinley
home, making the city resound with
their enthusiasm, while mounted troops
and large bands of music and finely
drilled companies, uniformed in mackin-
toshes, evoked cheers fiom the thousands
who stood sheltered in the doorways and
under awnings while the visitors marched
by. The formal receptions of the visiting
delegations did not end the demonstration.
To night the callers were again OH the
streets, Michigan and New York and
Ohio uniting to form parade which
marched and countermarched past the
Mckinley home and was reviewed by Ma
ior and Mrs. Mckinley.
A special train of five coaches arrived
about o'clock this afternoon, bringing
the lumber dealers of Buffalo and Tona
wanda. This was n distinguished ap-
pearing and thoroughly enthusiastic del
egation. 1t was composed of business
men, connected with the lumber trade,
and according to the statement of the
spokesman, included many former Dem
ocrats. The reception was held in the
tabernacle, rain preventing demonstra
ton on the lawn.
Shortly after 5 O'Clock a special train
of five coaches arrived, bearing the Re
publican clubs of Syracuse, n. Y. There

other clubs, including detachment of
wheelmen.
A few minutes after the Syracuse party
arrived, special train of ten coaches
reached Canton, bringing n delegation or
ganized in the county of Adrian, Mchi-
gan. The party was made up of about
ninety per cent. of farmers. The delega-
ton in pouring rain marched to the Nc
Kinley home, to view the lawn. They
then returned to the tabernacle, where
Major Mckinley addressed them, as he
had the New York delegations before
them.
