CHINESE DRUGS.

The employees in the office of the ap-

tened out and pasted on sticks; cans
full of preserved pollywogs and angle
worms, and many other curious pana
ceas, each of which smelled worse than
the other. There were pills as large
as prunes, handsomely decorated;
roots and "yarbs" of many kinds,
which would paralyze a Quaker doc
tor, and boxes and bottles of unknown
mixtures which would paralyze any
body. The 40 separate and distinct
smells of the town of Cologne are moth

which made some of the men handling
the stuff sick. Foul smell seems to
be a requisite in most medicines, and
if the beneficial effects of medicines
are proportionate to the odor, the med
icines of the Chinese should be the best
in the world.

INDICATED nat Rehuked

Some or the newspapers are claim
ing that the fact of Governor SEQ
fields running behind his ticket Is a
rebuke to him. Not so. Under the
circumstances no man ever received
a more complete vindication than
the thirty to forty thousand majority
gives to Governor Scofeld. He was
a victim of one of the most unjust
and uncalled for combinations ever
organized to defame and defeat a
candidate. It's origin was unworthy
and its purpose wholly selfish. The
public mind was poisoned. False
and malicious charges were made
and reiterated until many honest
people believed them The attacks.
coming from Republicans, received
attention. Democratic opposition
could be easily met, but fire from
the Republican camp was naturally
effective. That a governor should
receive such a splendid majority
when attacked by his own party as
we'll as by the Democrats, is the
most irrefutable evidence that the
people believe in him, and were de-
termined to vindicate him and re-
Duke his traducers.
The governor has been rousingly
endorsed. Mutiny in the party has
been suppressed, and the mutineers
will receive the condemnation they
SO thoroughly deserve. Most OIL
those Republicans who voted against
Governor Scofeld did so from a
sense of high public duty. No blame
attaches to them. They were de-
ceived, They believed they could
best serve their party by opposing
a candidate they thought to be IN.

found with those who opposed the
governor from worthy motives

CLEAN TOWEL SUPPLY.
Growth of Business That Is Now
Established in Cities ALI Over
the Country.

The clean towel supply business,
duced in New York in 1884, says the
New York Sun. 1t has thrived here,
and there are now about Is concerns
engaged in the business in this city,
with thousands of customers, whose
number is constantly increasing. There
are great many towel users who never
dreamed of taking towels from towel
supply concerns when the business was
first started who now wouldn't think
of getting them in any other way.
Cabinets are supplied with place
to keep the towels in, and they are
also provided with comb and brush,
a whisk broom, soap dish and soap.
The cabinets are made in a variety of
styles and sizes, each having mirror
in the front. Either hand or roller
towels are provided, or both. The
minimum supply furnished is four
clean hand towels a week, ana once a
week the used towels are taken up and
replaced with clean ones, the soap re-
newed if it is out, and the other articles
Oh Iue eQ ulpnenI looked a1Cer.
Towels are supplied to banks, stores,
offices and pretty much all sorts of bust
ness places, in many of which a large
number are used the supply being re-
newed as often as may be required.
There is one concern that supplies tow
els with the customers initials on them,
using double set for each customer
and supplying each with the same tow
els always. There are now supplied
bootblacking outfits, with polishing
brush, dauber and backing, the black
ing supply being kept constantly re-
newed, all for so much month. The
towel supply business has now spread
all over the country and it is established
in all the large cities.
