AT no time in the politics Of
this country has a senatorial con-
test In a State attracted such
universal attention as the one
now being waged in Ohio. This
is due to the fact that Mark A.
Hanna has become famous the
world over. as the maker of
President, the dictator Of an ad-
ministration and the most power
full political boss of the century.
His defeat is hoped for by the
right thinking people of par
ties, because the influence he
wields is not for good but evil.
So long as men Of Hanna's kind
are allowed to be dominant fac
tors in politics the people of
America must expect to see cleo
tions controlled by bribery. cor
ruption and debauchery and sub
NIT to the conditions with the
best grace possible. because the
remedy is in their hands and If
they do not use it the blame
rests with them.
The power which Hanna has
been able to muster in support
of his cause is tremendous, but
his election will cost the Repub-
lican party sorely in the days to
come and nobody is more fully
aware of this fact than the Re
publicans in Ohio who are now
striving to defeat him. He has
today at his back in addition to
the power of the administration
at Washington all the great trusts
and combines of the country and
with these resources and the i'm
mense amount of money he can
command it will be astonishing
indeed if he does not emerge vic
torious from the struggle in
which he is now engaged, but
his triumph will mean a sweep
ing victory for Democracy of
Ohio in the elections to be held
next November and in 1900, be
cause it viii split the Republi-
can party into fragments. The
domineering spirit and vulgar
arrogance of Hanna who has sci
himself up as the head and mas
/ ter OF his party in the nation
have precipitated a bitter feud
among Republicans which is GER
tain to be fruitful of bitter strife
and dissension-

BEAUTIFUL HOMES.
The Tendency of the Age Is Toward
Mural Decorations.

Mural Decorations.
Probably at no time in the worlds
history has so much attention been
paid to the interior decoration OF
homes as at present. No home. no
matter how humble Is without its han
diwork that helps to beautify the apart
ments and make the surroundings
more cheerful. The taste of the Amer
lean people has kept pace with the age
and almost every day brings forth
something new in the way of picture,
draping. a piece of furniture or other
form of mural decoration. One of the
latest Of these has been given to the
world by the celebrated artist, Muville,
in series of four handsome porcelain
game plaques. Not for years has any
thing as handsome in this line been
seen. The subjects represented By
these plaques are American Wild
Ducks. American Pheasant, American
Quail and English Snipe. They are
handsome paintings and are especially
designed for hanging on dining-roon
walls, though their richness and beauty
entities them to a place in the parlor
OF any home. These original plaques
have been purchased at cost Of $780,
600 by j. c. Hubinger Bros. Co., man
ufacturers of the celebrated Elastic
Starch, and in order to enable their
numerous customers to become posses
sors OF these handsome works of art
they have had them reproduced by
special process In all the rich colors
and beauty Of the original. They are
finished on heavy cardboard, pressed
and embossed in the shape Of plaque
and trimmed with a heavy band Of
gold. They measure forty inches in
circumference and contain no reading
matter or advertisement whatever.
Until September LIST Messrs. j. G. HUI
binger Bros. Co. propose to distribute
these plaques free to their customers.
Every purchaser Of three ten-cent pack
ages of Elastic Starch, flat-iron brand.
manufactured by ]. c. Hubinger Bros.
Co., is entitled to receive one of these
handsome plaques free from their gro
Ger. Old and new customers alike are
entitled to the benefits of this offer
These plaques will not be sent through
the mail, the only way to obtain them
being from your grocer. Every grocery
store in the country has Elastic Starch
for sale. 1t is the oldest and best
laundry starch on the market, and is
the most perfect cold process starch
ever invented. 1t is the only starch
made by men who thoroughly under
stand the laundry business, and the
only starch that will not injure the fir
est fabric. 1t has been the standard FOR
a quarter of a century, and as an evil
dence of how good it is twenty-five
million packages were sold last year.
Ask your dealer to show you the
plaques and tell you about Elastic
Starch. Accept no substitute. Bear
In mind that this offer holds good
a short time only, and should be taken
advantage of without delay.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PTNKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that / add my testimony To

others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.

terrible bearing-down pain which

all the time and dizzy feelings. Mem

becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in q
paper / sent at once for a bottle Of
Lydia f. Pinkhams Vegetable Conn
pound, and after taking two-thirds Of
the bottle l felt so much better that I
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.

female weakness ever advertised. and
recommend it to every lady meet sur

Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrifv women.
The advice of Mrs Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's

Important to Mothers.

The manufacturers of Castoria have been
compelled to spend hundreds of thousands of
dollars to familiarize the public with the sig
nature of Chas II. Fletcher. This has been
neceSsitated by reason Of pirates counterfeit
ing the Castoria trade mark. This counter
feiting is a crime not only against the proprie-
tors OF CaStoria, but against the growing
generation. All persons should be careful to
see that Castoria bears the signature of Chas.
H. Fletcher. if they would guard the health Of
their children. Parents and mothers in par
