One thing is certain: 1t will not do to
fool with a bad cold. No one can tell
what the end will be. Pneumonia,
catarrh, chronic bronchitis, if not con-
sumption, invariably result from a neg
lected cold. 1t is surprising too. that bad
colds are so often neglected when one
remembers how easily and at what little
expense they may be cured. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is always prompt
and efectual, and costs but trifle; rs or
so cents is trifle as compared with the
disasterous effects of neglected cold.
Mr.. Abner Mercer of Dilwothtown, Chester
county, Pa, in speaking of this remedy,
said: Sometime ago had bad cold

The Telegraph Monopoly,

There is now pending before Congress
a bill providing for government tele-
graph. The telegraph is naturally a part
of the post Office department, and should
be the first of the natural monopolies to
be taken possession of by the government.
But while the republican party is in con-
troll no monopoly or trust will ever be
interfered with much less assumed con-
troll of by the government.
The series of articles published in the
arena by Prof. Frank Parsons offer a
storehouse of ammunition for members of
Congress who will champion government
ownership of the telegraph. Part X of
the series appears in the December num-
Der of "The Telegraph Monopoly" which
are being so widely read and deeply pom
dered throughout the country. They are
crammed with 'facts, facts, facts" and
their logic is luminous and incontrovert-
ible, while amid the shower of sledge-
hammer blows every once in while
sparkles gem of humor that not only
tickles the readers risibilities but drives
the argument home. Part X deals with
the experience of England in the matter
of telegraphs.
The republican party policy is opposed
to government interference in any line of
business that can be operated by corpora
tions or syndicates. This is cardinal
principle of the party we'll understood by
all intelligent persons.

A new book of 1876 pages by Marvin Warfsn,
By irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of oil gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally a legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that our financial and in
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out q
way to speedy relief
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be of immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of theparty, and in making new
converts everywhere.
The retail price of MONEY CHART is 25 cents
We have special arrangement with the publish
ers by which we can furnish our subscribers the
book for 10 cents.

Bryan received about million more
votes than any President ever received
before 1896. Who can avoid believing
that he did not receive a majority OF

hands by the plutocracy, Mckinley was
counted in? The more it is considered
the more strongly the fact is impressed.

TURNS OUT FAIR.
A Few Crop Reports Showing Fairly
Good Wheat Yield.

The Mapleton Enterprise gives few
crop reports picked up from various
localities in that section of the
county, which indicate very fair
yield for wheat. Some Of them are as
follows:
r. S. Annis. IA acres of wheat, 2l0
bushe els, averaging Is bushels.
Robt. Wager secured an average of
154 bushels of wheat from 20 acres.
Leroy Bowen, Decoria, 7 acres Of
oats, $50 bushels, average so bushels.
Lewis Pierce. of Beaufort, three
fourths of an acre of fax, 16 bushels.
VIM. Rusch threshed an acre Of
wheat from which he received 24t
bushels.
We are informed that the best
wheat yields in the county, will be
found in Decoria township. where the
wheat is very heavy.
Walter Garvin, of Lyra, secured Is
bushels of No. 2 wheat to the acre
from his field. 1t had been worked
upon by the chinch bugs somewhat.
Forty-two acres of wheat on the
Carl Lehman farm averaged Is bushels
to the acre, while acres of oats shell
led out 400 bushels, or so bushels to
the acre.
Dave Getty, of Beauford, secured
$50 bushels of No. 2 wheat from %
acres, an average of almost % bushels
to the acre. His oats averaged 35
bushels to the acres
Sellers Bros, Beauford, oats 40
bushels to the acre; wheat, one field
of % acres, averaged 10 bushels;
another field of 80 acres, averaged be-
tween 16 and II bushels of No. 2.
The best yield so far reported is
that of Gustave Yaeger, who received
24B bushels of No. wheat to the acre.
1t was raised on corn ground, the net
yield from eight acres being 1877
bushels.
Charley Olson, who has fine Rus
sci machine, commenced the season S
work on the Mahony farm where he
threshed out 100 acres of wheat, the
average yield being IA bushels to the
acre, grading No. 2.
julius Hardtke reports a yield of
1900 bushels, or 16 bushels to the
acre, of No. 2 wheat from Sit acres.
Twenty acres of timothy turned out a
little over two bushels to the acre,
while eight acres of barley turned out
$50 bushels, or SGT bushels to the acre.
Threshing has just commenced on
the big West Lawn farm, and it is
hard to tell what the yield will be,
the quality, however, is poor. One
field of 81 acres shows yield of 16
bushels to the acre.
