HOW TINE Will DRAG

When You Cannot Shake off a Trouble
some Acquaintance.
Ever lie awake at night and hear the clock
strike for hour after hour, wondering if morning
will ever come; this experience comes to many
Belfast man if he knows the atfiction of itching
piles. No complaint causes more annoyance to
humanity and it has been truly dubbed pro-
family breeder For many years doctors and those
who are always searching for mankind's relief,
have tried in vain to find remedy that would
prove pever failing in this complaint. At last
success has rewarded the efforts of one searcher
and compound has appeared in Belfast that by
its deeds stamps merit on the face. The proof of
it lies in the experience of Belfast people. Here
is an example, published for the public good; it
comes from an old resident, Mr. Walter Coombs
of rs Main street, who says: II have been troubled
for seven eight years with itching piles. guess
have used hundred salves and ointments during
that time, but received little or no benefit from
them. A friend gave box of Doan's Oint-
inent. He got it from Kilgore & Wilson'S drug
store. l used the box and it cured me. Other
preparations gave me some relief, but it took
Doan's Ointment to cure me. l have heard of
quite number of people here in town who we're
benefited and cured by using it. 1t certainly is
valuable remedy. You may refer others to me-

such itching, Burning Torture
How lt Ended.

How lt Ended
When a child is cured Of the itching
torture and burning Inflammation OF
eczema or salt rheum, it is no wonder
that words fail to express the joy Of
the grateful parents, and that they
gladly tell in as strong terms as pos.
sible the plain story Of suffering re-
lieved and health restored. Many
testimonials relate the wonderful sue
cess of Hoods Sarsaparilla in such
cases, even after all other prescriptions
and medicines fail. Here is one:
&C. /. Hood 8 Co., Lowell, Mass:
"Dear Sirs: So Our boy Harvey will re-
member the good Hoods Sarsaparilla did
him as long as he lives. He was healthy
baby when he was born, but before be
was three months old breaking out ap"
peared on both sides of his face. Physi-
clans did him little good and said but fox
his strong constitution he could not have
lived through his dreadful suffering. The
humOr spread over his forehead, into his
eyes, and came out on his hands. It was
indeed pitiful TO witness the poor child's
suflerings. 1t was very painful for him
to open or shut his eyes, end we had to
tie his little hands to prevent him frcm
scratching the itching, burning skin.
My mother urged US to try Hoods sar-
saparilla. We did 80, and q short cline
after he began to take this medicine we
saw change for the better. We COM
tinued until we had given him Ave bot
ties, and then the eczema had entirely
disappeared, and he has ever since been
perfectly cured OF this dreadful disease.
His sufFerings extended ovef two and @
half years. People for miles around knew
his dreadful condition and know that
Hoods sarsaparilla cured him. Heis now
q bright, boy, perfectly healthy and has
theHnest skin Of any Of my Ave children"

WORK FOR IDLE HANDS.
State Lands to Be Cultivated by Inmates
Of State institutions.

Governor Leedy has asked the Board
OF Charities to put all idle lands at the
State institutions into crops OF suita-
BILE kinds to bring profit on the market
or to assist in supporting the States
charges. AS the income will permit, hogs
and poultry are to be added and the
number of COWS increased. Now all Of
the slops are sold for an insignificant
sum. The refuse from the tables of the
vast army of the States dependants
would furnish feed for large number OF
hogs, and they could be sold or butch
cred and thereby materially lessen the
general expense account. The lands can
be titled and the product used by the In
stitutions 1t ought to be done. NO In
stitutiOn, save possibly that at Beloit, Is
without abundant help on the part OF
the inmates to raise everything needed
that can be produced from the soil in
this latitude. There is no institution un-
der control of the Board Of Charities
where the States charges get sufficient
exercise. Work to occupy their time and
minds would be great help to most Of
them.
Governor Leedy is decidedly in favor
of a move Of this kind, and thinks that
it will not only benefit those who need
work and exercise, but it will materially
diminish the States expense account. He
said in a recent conversation:
There's no reason in my mind why
this plan can't be successfully carried
out at the institutions where there is
plenty of land. Some of the land at the
State institutions has been farmed for
some time, but now the idea is to culti-
Vate all the unused land without, Of
course, spelling the grounds Immediately
around the institutions. There can't
help but be a great deal Of idleness at
all the institutions, and all the work
can be done by the inmates, and they
will feel better for it. Products that
are now bought can be raised at prac-
tically no expense, and several thou
sand dollars each year can be saved the
State. The slops from the institutions
can be fed to hogs instead Of being
thrown away or sold for mere nothing,
and the hogs can be either slaughtered
or sold. Probably no one who hasn't
studied the matter realizes that saw
ing to the State can be accomplished in
this way, and l propose to have it car
ried out"

A KANSAS ENTERPRISE.
Immense Sale Of HerefOrds at Sunny Slope
Last Week.

Adbb W66k1
Kansas leads the world in many things,
in fact, In most things it undertakes
The great Hereford cattle sale by Hon.
c. S. Cross at Emporia last week empha-
sizes this idea, for 1t was the greatest
sale of Hereford cattle ever held in this
or any other country. Fully 5000 people
were in attendance each day of the sale,
and the greatest compliment that could
be given to Mr.. Cross is in the fact that
so many OF his near neighbors and
friends, those who have known him
longest and best, manifested so great an
interest in the sale. It was not only
State, but national and even an inter-
national affair, for recent importations
from the very best Hereford herds in
England were put in direct competition
with those bred and raised at the Sunny
Slope Farm, and to the great credit Of
Kansas and American enterprise, it must
be said that the home-bred were the fa-
vorites at this sale. Through the skillful
management Of H. L. Liebfried, the ar
rangements were perfect and the cattle
were all in prime condition. The four
auctioneers were fluent and witty, the
bidding was spirited and the prices paid
were extraordinary. The $50 head sold
brought an average Of over S4OO each,
aggregating over $4,000, and making the
greatest sale of Hereford cattle ever
known in the history of that notable
breed. Many offered at this sale were
yearlings and calves, and to see calves
quickly taken at 5000 to $4OO each was
something surprising and speaks more
than volumes in praise Of the American
breeding at Sunny Slope.
While few Of the imported individ-
uals brought the highest prices paid at
the sale, yet ON the average those bred
and raised at Sunny Slope met with The
greatest favor on the part Of the bidders.
Buyers were present from Virginia, In
diana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, North and South Dakota,
Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado,
Utah, Wyoming and many other States,
while nearly all the breeders who are in
terested in fine stock in Kansas were
there. Many ladies were also present and
some Of them were earnest and spirited
bidders, who knew what they wanted
and had the determination and cash to
get 1t.
Mr.. Cross had reserved the right to bid
on only three head, and of these he got
one at $1,000; another he did not get at
$1,5OO, and on the third he was Obliged to
bid $500 In order to keep it from going
to other bidders. Mr.. Murray BOOcock,
OF "Castalia," Keswick, Va, one Of the
most experienced breeders OF Herefords
The Advocate and news., 1898-03-09

in this country, paid $4,000 for the two
year-old imported bull, Salisbury. Mr..
G. H. Adams, Of Creston, Col, paid S1,20J
for the imported COW, Lcomlnster Daisy.
Mr.. John M. Foster, of Topeka, paid 1915
for imported bull, True Briton. Mr.. L.
S. Young, of Oakland, Neb., paid 1910
for Archibald W. bred at Sunny Slope
Mr.. Cornish Patton, of Osborne, Mo-,
paid $3.50 for imported bull, Weston
Stamp Mr.. G. H. Adams, OF Creston,
Col, paid $685. for 0rpheus, bull bred at
Sunny Slope, A great many others sold
at about these same prices, and this sale
will be the means of distributing over a
wide range Of territory some of the very
best animals Of the Hereford breed, and
1t will be great advertisement, not only
for Sunny Slope, but for the State Of
Kansas as well. Mr.. c. s. Cross and his
efficient manager, Mr.. H. l.. Liebfried,
are entitled to great praise for their en-
terprise In making this great Kansas sale
such wonderful success

POpulist State Convention Called.

When the State committee held its last
meeting, Chairman Riddle was author
lied to select some date in June as a suit
able day for holding it. He has now des-
ignated June Is. In speaking Of the op-
position to this date, he said:
June 15 is just jriOr to harvest. 1t
Is time when there Is a lull in the
work Of the average farmer 1t was
argued that August was the time for
the convention. Well, let us see. Wheat
harvest Is on at that time. 1t is COM
pleted by August 20, and threshing be-
gins Immediately. Following the thresh-
ing comes the haying, and September l
arrives too soon for the man who has
lots Of work. 1t is too late then for o.
convention, and think 1t is the part Of
wisdom to hold the convention at time
when the average farmer can get away
for convention Of two or three days
without injuring his business"
This Is the date on which the State
convention was held at Wichita six years
ago. The place will be designated by
the State cOmmitte, which meets April
ii at Topeka.

The ReformatOry "Barbarity."

We publish in another place in this
paper, a statement from DR.. A. M.
Hutchinson, the physician at the re-
formatOry, one Of the best citizens Of
this city, Republican, appointed by a
Republican board of managers, and re-
tanned in the position by the present
board, because Of his successful admin
istration of that position, in reference
to the alleged "barbarity" perpetrated
on the gentlemen of color" now con-
fired there, called Wade Thomas.
We asked the question of few ire
responsible Republican papers in this re-
g1on, recently, What Is the use Of ly-
ing, when everybody knows you are ly-
ing?" In this case the narrator Of the
Outrage" knew he was lying, but other
people didn't So his lie masQueraded
as the truth for a while.

GUS outrage" and relic of the dark

Maximum Rate Declared Unconstitutional.

The Nebraska freight rate law has
beer declared unconstitutional by the
United States Supreme court. This case
has been pending for several years. The
Nebraska Legislature passed law in
1893 fixing a maximum schedule of
freight rates. The railroads began a
fight against the law on the ground that
1t was unconstitutional. They Contended
that inasrAuch as the law related only
to State freights that it Disseminated
against them, and was therefore antag-
Onistic to the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution. They also contended
that the rate fixed was unreasonable and
ruinous, and that the operation Of the
law interfered with interstate commerce.
The State denied the jurisdiction of the
Federal court and argued that the law
was a just and constitutional one. The
opinion, which was by Justice Brewer,
states that the reduction in rates
amounts to about 291s per cent, which
Is held to be too great change. In ef-
feet 1t says that the law Is unconstitu-
tiOnal because it authorizes the taking
of property without due process of law.
The case had been argued twice, w. ].
Bryan appearing for the State at the
last hearing.

after the occurrence, and the white print
of the hot poker on the fore finger Of
one Of his hands, about as serious as
il he had picked up hot poker by the
wrong end, was all that remained to re-
mind one Of the occasion.
We are informed that the board Of
managers requested the Governor to re-
move Mr.. Case, the superintendent, and
that he promptly refused to do so. We
congratulate the Governor Mr.. Case
and the institution on the result. We
have no use for Mr.. Cases politics, but
as superintendent he is, in our opinion,
a success. Advanced theories" in PEN
Ology are all right, some Of them, but

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1898-07-27
Entirely Uncaued For.

''There are quite few young men
here who are anxious to fight for
Uncle Sam, and five of them united
Saturday in sending a telegram to
Capt. Gibson, of st. Paul asking If
they could join company L Of the new
18th regiment, but received a reply to
the effect that the regiment was full.
1t is likely, however, that they will
have an opportunity to enlist some
time this fall. The three Tower boys
who went, passed the rigid physical
examination with credit, but five Of
the Ely contingent were rejected.
Will Wilson writes to his father that
he enjoys the soldiers life at Camp
Ramsey and that the boys are very
well treated, There is possibility
of the 18th being sent to Chicamauga
very Tower Journal.
Bro. Webster grows very sarcastic
in the above where he says: '"The
three Tower boys who went passed
the rigid physical examination with
credit, but five of the Ely contingent
were rejected" We will say right
here that the five were rejected not
with discredit but because of physical
ailments that did not detract one
whit from the patriotic motives in
which they volunteered. Besides,
three and thirty, such being the rela-
tive number of volunteers between
Tower and Ely, are very much differ
ent. Three men out of town which
claims twice the population of Ely,
and about five times as many young
men, is not so many. Be fair, Bro.
Webster. However. we hope the
Tower boys will have chance in a
few days. The next call for troops
will see about twenty more boys to
to the front from this city.

Ely he was a sausagemaker and the
only blue he ever wore was overalls
and Jumper" Bedford's patriotism
began to boil when the first call for
troops came and he decided to enlist
But when he confded his plans to his
employer, p T. Brownell, Mr.. Brown
ell advised SO strongly against it that
Bedford reluctantly gave it up and
went back to his sausage machine,
while those he expected to call COM
rade were down at Chickamauga
wearing out government shoe leather.
But there was a second call for
troops, and in Ely the young men
were forming squad to fill out some
of the companies of the Fifteenth at
Camp Ramsey. 1t was agreed that
the fire whsle be sounded to call them
together when the time came to start
for Camp Ramsey.
Bedford was working as usual in
the meantime, and Mr.. Brownell
thought his sausagemaker had recov-
cred from the war scare, but when
about noon one day the war signal
sounded, Mr.. Brownell rushed to the
door just in time to see Bedford grab
his coat and hat and dash for the
depot. Bedford did not wait to say
gyod-bye or to collect his wages. AT
the depot he was told that it would
be forty-five minutes before the train
would pull out so he went to his room
to pack up some of his clothing. His
wages were handed to him through
the car window and he was told that
if he ever came back his job would be
waiting for him,
The BOYS rejoiced because Bedford
is popular, and they wanted him with
them. Company L. was happy be-
cause it got good cook, and the Fiji
tenth regiment acquired as good a
| soldier that his worth is recognized
already and he is about to be made a
corporal.

THE BALLOON ASCENSION.
Owing to Incompleteness Another VIII
be Made Sunday Next,

Owing to Incompleteness Another VIII
be Made Sunday Next,
Prof. jenkins and wife have not had
the best of luck since striking Ely.
Their ascension Sunday evening was
postponed until Monday evening by
reason of the prevailing high wind.
An attempt was made at about six
o'clock to get the ascension under
way, but after the balloon taking fire
several times and darkness setting in,
the idea was abandoned until Monday
evening at I o'clock.
Monday evening everything worked
quite nicely until fire was discovered
in the top of the balloon. 1t was ex-
tinguished and the globe repaired.
In very few minutes the balloon
was filed with what was supposed to
be gas and hot air but which later
turned out to be steam and smoke
occasioned by the large amount of
water in the coal oil used. The steam
in the balloon was hoodoo for after
the sphere had risen high enough to
catch little cold air it began its
descent and the lady was forced to
return with the balloon, not daring
to make the parachute leap owing to
the short distance to the earth.
In view of the fact that the ascen-
sion was not what was expected, Prof.
Jenkins and lady will remain over
this week and try and make another
ascension next Sunday afternoon ac-
companied 10y the scheduled para
chute leap. The subscribers did not
kick however on Monday evenings
exhibition seeing the condition of
things, and were perfectly willing to
make their donations, regretting very
much, of course, the incompleteness
of the exhibition but have again put
their names to list and will again
contribute, recognizing the motive ia
Prof. Jenkins and wife to be fair.
