TURNING POINT REACHED

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The annual investiga
ton of the Orange Judd Farmer indi-
Gates that the turning point in the long
and serious depression in the live stock
industry has passed. Between 1893 and
1896 the depression in this form of rural
wealth amounted TO $623, 100000, or %
per cent, but the returns this year, for
the first time since the decline began.
show an increase in aggregate value dur
ing the twelve months. The total value
of all classes of farm animals is ST.
SSl 100000. The net gain is $27 ,000,-
600. But for further decline in value
of horses the showing for the year
would have been much more gratifying.

The Omaha World-Herald says that
Senator Mason of Illinois plays the organ.
the piano, the fiddle, the banjo, the
guitar, the mandolin and the flute, and
in addition to this he is an artist with
the bones, and is a tamborine virtuoso,
and in addition to all this he is said to be
an all round good fellow. We suppose
from the line of his requirements that he
played himself into the United States sem
ate, and we trust he will not play out.

But at any time before the an
chylosis is complete there is
hope of cure in the persistent
use of Pe-ru-na, as herein di-
rected. As catarrh of the mid
die ear is nearly always an eX-
tension of the disease from the
naso-pharyngeal space, the
gargling and cleansing Of the
throat, as directed in our first
lecture, should be observed
when taking the Pe-ru-na. The
openings of the Eustachian tubes
are closed thus, except
in the act of swallowing or
gargling; and it is for this rea-
son that gargling is so neces-
sary even in catarrh of the
middle ear, to give these tubes
a sort of gymnastic exercise.
This will not only tend towards
clearing them of any catarrhal
sccretions. but also tend to
harden the mucous membrane.
rendering them less liable to
catarrh.
As soon as any one notices
noises in the ears, which are.
sometimes described like the
chirping of birds, ringing of
bells, kissing of steam, the
treatment with Pe-ru-na
should be begun Immediately
and not be discontinued until

COL. DU POINT TRIES AGAIN.


Washington, u. c., Jan. 12-Col
II. a. du Pont to-day filed in the Sen
ate, through Senator Chandler, a petit
ton to have his claim to seat in the
Senate az Senator from Delaware re-.
opened. After setting forth his citi-
zership in Delaware, Mr.. du Pont as
sertH that on May 9th, 1896, he was
duly and legally elected to the Senate
lie then sets forth the investigation Of
his credentials and favorable report by
the Senate committee on privileges and
elections and the failure of the Senate
to give him his seat, adding:
Your petitioner respectfully claims
that his election was legal and that he
is entitled Hereunder to seat rs a
Senator from Delaware. and further
claims that injustice has been done the
State and your petitioner by the re-
fusal OF your honorable body to seat
him as Senator from tho said State.
Your petitioner submits that, under
the circumstances. the question of the
validity of his election should again be
investigated and acted upon by the
Senate as a fixed continuing body,
which never loses and nevor can lose
control and jurisdiction over its mem
bership. and which cannot forfeit or
surrender Its right at any time to in
quire into the claim of any person as a
member thereof.
Your petitioner further states that
he hopes and expects to show on an
other consideration OF the biect that
he is entitled legally TO such seat :
wherefore he respectfully prays that all
the papers ana documents on file in
such case be taken thsrefrom and again
referred to the committee ON privileges
and elections, with directions to such
committee to reinvestigate such election
and TO reconsider the same in full aud
in all particulars and report to the
Senate that it may consider the case
and seat your petitioner. ~

Legislature who voted for Mr.. du Pont
Join IN tbesTetition. The petition was
referred to the committee on privileged
and elections, and all papers in the
case on file in the Senate were ordered

Figures That Tell the story.

In the interview by reporter Of
The Gazette with counsel for Mr..
Cheairs. which is printed elsewhere in
this issue, the latter make some
interesting reading, and confidently
declare that they have the evidence to
back up their assertions. 1t will, per-
haps, be surprising news to hear that
the inspectors of election were not the
real culprits, but that men of greater
prominence and occupying, in some
instances, high public positions, are
the real malefactors in this infamous
outrage. Messrs. Heisel and Kurtz
owe it as a public duty to disclose the
names of these men in order that they
may be prosecuted.
The table of figures which they give
to show how Cheairs was counted out
proves THAT on their face the altered
certificates Of the returns were false.
Messrs. .Dickey, Dempsey and Donald
son. 1T seems, we're made the bene-
fciaries OF the fraudulent return.
while Messrs. Cheairs, Mccoy and
Taylor were made the victims, but the
trick was clumsy one, at best. be-
cause the figures refute themselves. If
Messrs. Dickey, Dempsey and Donald
son had run as far ahead uf their COL
leagues on the ticket as the official re
turns seem to indicate, the loss of such
increased votes would not have fallen
on Messrs. Cheairs, Mccoy and Taylor,
but must have been loss apparent in
q falling of of thsvotes of certain of
the Republican candidates.
But the returns for the Republican
candidates-either on the Regular or
Union tickets-show that their legis-
lative ticket was not cut to any extent.
Consequently, in order to Justify the
returns for Messrs. Dickey, Dempsey
and Donaldson in the disputed election
districts, and the alleged increase Of
votes which they claim to have received
over their colleagues, many of those
who voted for these three candidates
must have voted for them twice on the
same ballot and must have scratched
Messrs. Cheairs, McCoy and Taylor.
In facr, tho faIsified returns show an
alleged result which was impossible
and still BIO the correct returns of such
election, in view of the returns Of the
Republican vote for the legislative
ticket in the election districts in ques.
tion.
