history. On October Is, 1880, a biz,

everything with snow and ice, filling
railroad cuts, totally suspending bust

much property. The blizzard lasted

All those who suffer from coughs should
follow the Indians example, and take kicka'
poo Indian Cough Cure when the first symp-
toms appear, and they will be like the Indian,
healthy and free from more serious compli-
cations.
A few words of praise comes to us from
Racine in regard to this wonderful cough
remedy, which reads as follows -
''To all suffering people: had very Sc
we're sore throat, Could not speak for week.
Ny friends recommended me to use kickapoo
Indian Cough Cure. | took three or four doses
after four clock in the afternoon and the next
morning, to my great surprise, could speak

Yours truly, Miss Katie halberStadt,

Kickapoo Indian Cough Cure will positively
do the same in your case, If taken from the
start. If your cough has gone too far, and
your system has, in consequence, become
weakened, take KickapOo Indian Sagwa. 1t

ach, liver and kidneys, and by making these
great organs of the body strong, insure health.
To such remedies as these does the Indian owe
his perfect health and long life.
Klckapoo Indian Remedies may be had at
all druggists. .
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa sells for 81 per

NEXT TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

Next Tuesday, elections will occur
in New York, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky,
MARYLAND and Massachusetts. Seldom,
in an off year, has so much general in
terest been taken in results. Massa-
chusetts, Ohio and Iowa will unques-
tionably elect the Republican candi-
dates, although in the last two named
states the Democrats are making a
desperate effort for success, and as
usual are making all sorts Of reckless
claims. The Republicans claim that
in Iowa they will elect their governor
by $4,000, while the Buckeye Republi-
cans feel entirely sanguine of carrying
their state ticket by good majority
and the legislature safely for Hanna,
in Maryland the fight is against
boss German. The legislature elected
next week will have the choosing OF
Senator Germans successor, and
noticeable bolt has occurred in the
rank of Democracy against the further
rule of the Gormanites. The Balti-
more Sun, the oldest and most intlu-
entail Democratic newspaper in Mary
land, has joined the opposition to
German and is making vigorous and
somewhat acrimonious fight against
the boss who has so long ruled the
Democracy of that commonwealth.
The Republicans are hopeful of car
rying the legislature, but Mr.. Cor
mans pully has cable attachment
that is capable of hosting very
heavy load against great odds, and
whether or not the effort to break his
chain will be successful can only be
determined after the result Of Tues
days balloting is made known.
The situation in New York City
over the mayorali6y contest has so
complicated matters as to make the
outcome decidedly uncertain. That
the split in both the Republican and
Democratic parties in Greater New
York will affect the legislative ticket
generally throughout the state there
can be no doubt. Gen. Tracy, known
as Senator Platt's candidate, is so
handicapped by the opposition against
what they term the "Platt machine"
that his defeat seems almost 1nevita-
BILE. The New York Sun is,we believe,
the only leading paper supporting his
candidacy, and it's conversion to Re-
publicanism is of so recent date that
its influence with the faithful will
prove of no great strength. Van Wyck,
the Tammany candidate, while backed
by the strongest political machine in
existence in America, is supported
only by couple prominent papers, and
is opposed by many of the strongest
and cleanest members of the Demo-
cratic party.
Mr.. George, the Bryanite candidate,
has a strong following of trades
unions and prominent Democrats, and
while his organization is not so COM
plete as some of the other candidates,
ne is nevertheless putting up power
full fight and is bound to poll a great
number of.votes, although his election
is contingency hardly to be expected
and certainly not to be hoped for.
Seth Low, the Citizens candidate, is
unquestionably the choice of the bust
ness interests of the city. He is being
supported by the strong, influential
men of both parties, and has nearly
every prominent Republican paper in
Greater New York with him. The
best informed leaders contend that
she fight lays between Low and Van

A TRIBUTE OF LOVE.
It Was Very Beautiful, but Some Parts Oi
1t Needed Explanation.


''Your tribute to your departed friend, -

the tall woman in black, "was beautiful

let you explain some parts of it TO me be-

Yes, sir.
''For instance, take these two lines:
"We buried him deep in hummocky hole
Which was small for his body, but large for
his soul

hummocky character of the hole, why do
you refer to it as large for his sOul?"

"Ah, yes; see. And take these lines

sphere.
We hope there's peace there, but we know
there's peace here

little ambiguous to me. They have beau

AFTER AN HEIRESS.
The Alleged Object of Prince AIexander's
Visit to America.

The Alleged Object of Prince A1eXRnder'B
Visit to America.
Prince Alexander of Teck, who is
soon to visit this country for the pur~
pose of wooing, as it is rumored, an
American heiress, is the youngest son
of the Duke and Duchess of Teck. His
brother-in-la law, the Duke Of York, may
some time be the ruler of England, for
he is the eldest son of the Prince of
Wales. Prince Alexander is a tall, ath-
letic young man of 23, who has always
behaved himself and in whose future
Queen Victoria has taken no little in
terest. Long ago she arranged that he
should marry Wilhelmina, the little
queen of Holland.
There has been some hitch in this ar
rangement, and the prospects are that
the Dutch queen will not take TecB
for a cOnsort. In this event it is prob
able that the prince will wed Miss
Mary Goelet, daughter of the late Og-
den Goelet. Miss GOelet's mother, who
was one of the Wilson girls, is Of that
family of famous matchmakers. The
prince met the young woman last spring
and is said to have been very much
taken with her. Through the aid of the
Prince of Wales he contrived that her

A BORN BONE SETTER.
Professor John Atkinson Performs Some
Wonderful Cures.


Wonderful Cures.
Professor John Atkinson, the great
English bone setter, whose wonderful
cures have mt-de him known all over
the continent, is now in this country.
He came over to straighten the limbs of
some of our wealthy people, and he
will employ his spare time, just as he
does at home, in limbering up stiff
joints and making supple the knotted
tendons of the very poor. His rich pa
tients will pay him big fees, but his
work among the poor he does without
price.
Some of Professor Atkinson's cures
appear to be little short of miracles.
The only instruments he uses are his
two muscular hands. His method of
operation with a stiff knee, for instance,
is to begin by working the joint care
fully in his hands, as if he were giving
a common massage treatment. When
he has accurately located the position
of the muscles, tendons and bones, he
forces them into their natural position,
sometimes using the lower leg like a
pump handle. Then he tells the patient
to get up and walk, and, to the COM
plete surprise of the former cripple, he
is able to do it. Men come to him hob
bling along with canes and crutches
and go away walking jaUntily.
Professor Atkinson disclaims every
thing except natural talent. He is a
