FAILS
TO CURE
CONSUMPTION AND LUNG
TROUBLES IN ANY
CLIMATE.
An Eminent New York City
Chemist and Scientist Makes
a New Discovery and a
Free Offer to Our
Readers.
CORRESPONDENCE ADVICE FREE

The fact has been established that the
honored and distinguished chemist, Il. A
Slocum, of New York City, has discovered
a reliable cure for Consumption (Pulmo-
nary Tuberculosis) and all bronchial,
throat, lung and chest troubles, catarrhal
affections, general decline and weakness,
loss of flesh, and all conditions of wasting
away.
Already this ''new scientific system of
treatment has, by it's timely use, per-
manently cured thousands of apparently
hopeless cases, and it seems necessary
and humane duty to bring such facts to
the attention of all invalids, that they
may be benefited thereby.
Chemistry and science are daily aston
iShing the world with new wonders. The
researches and experiments of this great
chemist, patiently carried on for years,
have eliminated in results as beneficial
to humanity as can be claimed for any
modern genius or philosopher.
The medical profession throughout
America and Europe are about unanimous
in the opinion that nearly all physical
ailments naturally tend to the generation
of consumption, The afflicted die in the
short, cod days of winter much faster
than in the long hot days of summer
The doctor has proved the dreaded dis
ease to be durable beyond doubt, in any
climate and has on file in his American
and European laboratories thousands of
letters OF heartfelt gratitude from those
benefited and cured in all parts Of the
world.
Consumption, uninterrupted, means
speedy and certain death.
No one having, or threatened with, any
disease should hesitate day. The Doc
tor considers it his professional duty-a
duty which he owes TO suffering humanity
to donate a trial of his infallible cure.
Simply write to T. A. Slocum, NJ. c., 9S

of his New Discoveries will be promptly
sent, with full instructions, to any afflicted

There is no charge for correspondence

knowing as we do, of the undoubted
efficacy of the Slocum Cure, every sufferer
should take advantage of this most liberal
proposition.
A system Of medicinal treatment that
will cure lung troubles and consumption
is certainly good for-and will cure-al.

small amount yet unpledged to insure the
carrying to completion of the project. The
Universalists own, free from debt, large
double lot at the northeast corner of Cen
ter avenue and Sherman streets, and the
building to be erected will be different
from any in the city, welcome addition
to the neighborhood and to the number of
our public edifices
tThe Universalists of this city have had
their faith and devotion tried literally by
fire, for they have had two churches
burned the last just before the hard times
shut down upon the country so paralyz-
ingly. But they have neverlost courage.
Their present pastor, Rev. T. w. Illman,
who is also president of the Universalist
Convention of Michigan, and state pastor,
came to them in May, and has been prose-
cutting his work in a quiet, effective way
that promises, not only to put his charge
here upon an abiding foundation, but also
to make it one of the active forces for the
higher life of our city"

delivered sermon on "Universaism as
illustrated by the Parable of the Prodi-

clear and convincing statements, and no
doubt had good influence on many per-
sons present, who were unacquainted
with the doctrines of Universalism.
The influence of this series of meet

will soon have pastor to lead it into a
larger prosperity and influence in that

ing and of thanksgiving. Let the church
be properly decorated with fruits. grains,
grasses, etc., with the Y. P. G. U. colors

A small admission may be charged, or
collection taken.
Every union should begin at once to
make a stir, looking towards a good
showing at Waterloo, next June. Two
banners are to be given away at lat
time. One to the union showing the
greatest per cent in membership for
97-9S, and one to the union having
present the largest delegation based on
membership.
1t may not be out of place to here
mention that each union should arrange
to send the state and national dues as
soon as possible. They amount to forty
cents per capita. payable to the secre-
tary. H. B. Chopper. Waterloo, Iowa.

mortal day orator who may want
some facts regarding the vanishing
army that went forth to saw the
Union will find the figures of some
value in the ear future: Nearly
two-thirds of those who fought in
the Civil War have already passed
away. or the $780, 900 men called
into the service of the nation only n
few more than 1,OOO.O 900 remain. By
1910 these will be reduced to a battal-
len of $40, and five years later, not
one will be alive. The war cost the
north the lives of $50, 1000 men, which
number is close to the strength of the
Grand Army of the Republic to day.
Those OF the soldiers of the north
who have died since the war out
number the million survivors by more
than two hundred thousand. II
every veteran were to decorate the
grave of a comrade who died since
they fought shoulder to shoulder.
there would still be 237 900 unstrewn

The Butte Inter-Mouutain, which
processes to be a Republican paperbut
which became Organized last fall,
stopped over recently. 1t couldn't
wait until the wool market opened.
not even until a sale was made, be-
fore it gave vent to the following:
Despite the Republican party's
promises of a high price for wool the
fiockmasters OF Montana have not
failed to observe that the highest
price yet offered for Montana fieeces
this year Is 10 cents. That In better
than the free trade price which pre-
vailed last year., but it Is not what
has been expected by the men who
last year voted the Mckinley presi-
Dental ticket
The writer has not only been proven
a false prophet but a liar of unques-
toned merit. With wool importa-
tions crowding into every port in
this country to evade a prospective
duty, and to such an amount that
not a dollar of duty is expected to
be realized by the government for a
whole year, neither the Republican
party nor any member oft promised
.'high prices"for wool. Better prices
were predicted and they r being
realized to day and every day. And
the highest price is not 40 cents"
as the Inter Mountain states, but IA
cents. Nc woolgrower in Montana
is kicking over the price he received
for his wool. In fact it is no doubt
a little better than he anticipated.
Not one OF them has any regrets for
''voting the Mckinley presidential
ticket" It's the other fellow who
threw his vote away. The Inter
Mountain got In its croak too early.

City of one of the leading life insur-
companies aid that he saw unmis-
taxable signs of Improvement.
That whereas eighteen months and
two years ago it were next to i'm
possible to get riks, now additional
solicitors were being employed and
premiums were being paid more
promptly. There were fewer re-
quests for extentions and fewer poll
cies allowed to lapse. AS to busi-
ness conditions In Salt Lake City he
said the people had not yet recOvered
from the effects of the boom in real
estate there, but that money was
easier and speculatiOns safer. While
many signs of ''closing out" and
''assignee sales" were noted, the gen.
tleman said these were few compared
to IA year ago and that many mer-
chants who had been forced to the
wall were resuming business.
In Denver the gentlemen who acted
as escort to the Montana excursion
lists took special pains to request
that nothing he said of hard times i'm
that city and challenged us to point
out evidences of such. They said
that Denver was prosperous, they
did not know what hard times were
but that a great many people had
been crying about hard times SO long
that they did not know what else to
say. The most noteworthy thing i'm
| Denver to the writer was the lack
| OF signs For Sale" and "GOing
Cheap Or other such discouraging
notices.
But the people Of Fergus county
need not look abroad for evidences OF
returning prosperity. Last year the
wool clip OF the county sold at aver
age of not to exceed 6 cents (that is
a fair estimate) while this year it is
selling at from 10 to 14cents and may
go higher. Taking IL cents as an
average this year and upon the basis
of 5O7, 656 sheep, according to the as
SCISSORS return, there will be received
in this county this year, for our WOO
clip alone, $177,679 over and above
the amount received las year. Be
side mutton sheep are worth from
81. $ to SIZE a head more this yeal
than last, and it is a safe estimate
that the Fergus county sheep hold
ings have appreciated half a million
dollars in value in the last six months
In the cattle business, also, ther'
is marked Improvement. While it il
yet too early to compare sales. thu
prospect, none can deny, is for mucl
better prices this year than last.
An exchange says: Even Mr.
Bryan's personal organ, the Omaha
World Herald, refuses longer to fol
low him in declining to recognize
returning prosperity. That paper
which has published many article
on this subject, calls attention in
recent issue to the fact that there !
is marked activity and general i'm
proved condition in the stock busi
ness and stock markets of the Yves
and predicts that this improvement
will continue"
