LYONS GRIEVANCE.

Two Silver Party State Conven-
tons have met in the last eight
wears in which the Silver Party has
existed, and nominations have been
made for full ticket, and Lyon
county has got what the boy shot
at. In 1892 the Silver Party was
first organized in this county, and
at the election held that year the
voters in the county turned large
Republican majority into a silver
majority of something like 800.
Since that memorable election the
county has kept in line through all
kinds of adversely and has always
greeted the candidates on the silver
ticket with good majorities the
morning after election. At each of
the State conventions held in the
past eight years to put up full
ticket in the field Lyon has asked
for place on the ticket. Her re-
quest has been denied both times.
Four years ago she took defeat in
matter-of- fact way and stood up
manfully for the entire ticket, poll
ing vote OF 656, out of which
number the silver men received
$50. This year the county has
again been ignored in the way of
receiving anything on the ticket.
The silver men are at loss to know
exactly how to take this kind of
treatment. They did not join the
party for political preferment, but
it seems very strange to them that
county which has been so loyal
to the cause should be so deliber-
ately sat upon whenever she asks
for anything. In the present case
the ticket has upon it two candi-
dates who come from two counties
which with a combined vote this
year will not equal the vote of Lyon
county. This may be good politics,
but it is great injustice to the
men who left their parties and got
in on lines which they thought
would bring about the restoration
of silver and good home govern
ment for our State. SO far as the
candidacy of any one person is CON-
cerned in this county it amounts to
nothing. If man could have re-
ceived any recognition from the
convention for any position on the
ticket it would have made no differ
ence who the man was or what Office
he was seeking, Lyon would have
been satisfied that she was being
considered somewhat in the party.
AS it looks now it would seem that
Lyon county voters were not want

Ii HUNG CHANG'S BIBLE.

Interested In 1t.

DR.. Coltman, in The East Asiatic
Lloyd's," relates an interesting con-
versation he had lately with Ii Hung
Chang on the subject of the Bible.
He says that one day when he called
on the aged statesman he found him
reading beautifully bound New Tes-
lament, which had recently been sent
him by missionary connected with
the London mission. The old man
was SO deep in the book that for some
minutes he did not see his visitor.
After awhile he raised his eyes and
gazed at DR.. Coltman with piercing
look, and said: DIR. Coltman, do you
believe this book?"
He answered.; "Your excellency, If
l did not believe it l should not have
the honor of being your physician
(medical missionary. believe it with
my whole heart"
Are you sure that this is not all
hearsay and human talk?" he asked
again.

IN FAIRYLAND.
Birds and Animals and Look
ing After Wonders.

A fairy's life is by no means all play
-"nothing to do and plenty of time to
do 1t I'M" not bit of it.! Idleness is
misery, and "all play and no work" is,
if anything, worse than "all work and
no play" and happiness is found be-
tween the two. A vast deal lies in TAX
ing thorough interest in what one
has to do and doing it with ones
might; and of all work that of the
fairies is perhaps most interesting.
In many parts of Fairyland there
are hospitals where gnats, flies, bees
and other humble creatures are taken
in when injured and carefully tended.
There are schools for teaching spin
ming to spiders and caterpillars and
weaving to the weaver bird; schools
for the blind, where moles may learn
TO burrow; swimming schools for
fishes; flying schools for birds and
such fishes as care to learn; perfume
factories, where the perfume is made
that scents the jasmine. sweet pea, the
lily and the rose. There are store
houses, too, of splendid dreams and
castles In the air. When you see n
baby's face RIPPED with smiles as he
sleeps you may be sure that the fairies
are whispering beautiful thoughts or
showing him lovely pictures.
But the part of Fairyland to which
Nicnack had come was devoted to
quite different occupations; it was the
store-place of wonders. Here the au-
rora-borealis was treasured; here, too,
might be seen an assortment of halos,
mock suns, mock moons and the va
rious forms of mirage. But, what was
of far more concern to Nicnack, this
was the place where the rainbow was
kept. When it had done duty in the
Sky and gladdened the eyes of men it
was taken down by the fairies, careful
ly busted and then folded and set aside
until wanted.
Nicnaek had been full of curiosity
as to what the treasure at the end of
the rainbow could possibly be. lie now
found that it is a magic crystal prison

How to Secure Fresh Air.

can be ventilated or the air changed,
for the time being at least. by taking
the edge of one of the doors in the
hand and swinging it briskly to and

to be satisfactory when taken, and if
anyone desires the best authority for
it the man who raises bees will give
it. 1t is only returning to natures
first principles. One of the important
functions of some of the bees is to
keep the hive ventilated, and this
they do with their wings. tanning and
keeping the air in motion. In warm
weather they reduce the temperature

THE DREADED CONSUMPTION.


AND SCIENTIST. WILL SEMI FREE, TO
THE AFFLICTED. THREE BOTTLES
This NEWLY DISCOVERED REM
EDIEs TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more Joy to the afflicted,
than the offer of 7. A. Slocum, M c., of
1888 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, and to make itsg great
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be a durable disease beyond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes-
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Address
T. A. Slocum M. c., 90 Pine street, New
York. and when writing the Doctor, please
give express and post office address, and
mention reading this article in The Mid
land Journal.
