FREE CURE FOR men.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be a Benefactor To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
ovarflows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them Of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS 1t costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man. suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested In a remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of
untold misery. AS the remedy in
question was the result of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering
with any form of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. A request to III. @. Odds, Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use Of the medicine by giving
it a trial, will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr..
OIds can afford to give away his dis q,
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he may
know how you came to write him.

TO THE PUBLIC.

Thomas Johnson, the candidate for
alderman on the non-partisan ticket, in
the Third ward, should not be con-
founded with anyone of the same or
similar name. He is we'll known in
his ward and throughout the city as a
member of the firm of Johnson & Han
sen, railroad contractors. He is a
man OF the people, familiar with the
necessities of the laboring classes and
his knowledge of contract work in
which he has had so much experience,
will make his services to the city as
alderman exceedingly valuable. Those
who make charges against him through
the press have certainly mistaken him
for some one else as he is not in any
way directly or indirectly connected
with any city work or contract and
certainly will not be during his term of
office. All who know him personally
recognize his honesty, fairness and ca
pacity and his election will be a credit
to the city and the ward he lives in.

About Speculation in Sugar
Washington June / 1897.

The Senate made good progress on
the tariff bill yesterday. advancing to the
important metal schedule. During the
day the paragraphs covering marble and
stone. china glass, brick and tiles were
completed, with few minor exceptions
MesSrs. Vest and Jones, Of Arkansas s.
on behalf Of the minority OF the Finance
Committee, proposed numerous amend
ments. which were defeated by majori-
ties OF to II. The votes were on party
lines in the main, although Messrs.
Rawlins and White, Democrats, voted
with the Republicans to increase the
rate on onyx, and Mr.. McEnery. Demo
crat, voted with the Republicans against
Mr.. Jones proposition for reduction
Of the rates on china.
Senator McLaurin, OF South Carolina.
was sworn in early in the day, raising
the membership OF the Senate TO SO.
During the debate on the glass sched-
ule Senator Smith. Of New Jersey, arose
to question OF personal privilege. and
made the following statement, reading
from manuscripts:
MT. Presldent-During my absence
from the Senate the other day, ascer-
tain that in a very remarkable deliver
ance by the Senator from South Carroll
na (Mr Tilman) he became sponsor for
n newspaper clipping In which my name
was mentioned in connection with the
sugar schedule In the pending tariff
bill. / is only necessary for me to say
that the statement in the newspaper
clipping In question is absolutely and
unQualtiedly untrue. I have not. during
this session Of Congress bought or sold,
directly or indirectly, a single share of
sugar stock, nor at any time prior to
this, when any legislation affecting the
value OF sugar or sugar stock was pend
ing"
Mr.. Tillman sat at his desk while the
statement was being read. but made no
move toward replying The considera-
ton Of the tariff bill was Quickly re-
sumed, Mr.. Smiths question of privilege
not taking more than two minutes
When the marble and stone schedule
was taken up Mr.. Vest made a contest
on the para graph relating to manufac-
lures of agate ware, etc, moving re-
duction OF the rate from 80 to 20 per
cent. The amendment was defeated
yeas, II; nays, %.
The committee proposed a change in
the amendmen; relating to marble and
onyx, leaving the marble rate as report
ed and placing onyx in block at s1.5O
per cubic foot After some debate the
committee amendment was agreed to, 81
to II.
The committee amendment as whole
relating to marble and onyx was then
agreed 10.
Another contest was made on free
stone and other classes OF undressed
stone. Mr.. Vest moving q reduction
from II 70 Z cents per cubic foot, which
was disagreed 10, IS to o.
