been much talked of. Her real object
was one of charity, for she is using
her great wealth and influence this
winter in assisting the Danish people
in the Western States. She is stopping
in Chicago, and from there writes her
straightforward endorsement of
Paine's celery compound.
Women who are easily excited, who
waste energy worrying over ~trifes,
who are often sufferers from sick head
ache and nervousness, should read the
plain, unbiased statements of what
Paine's celery compound has done for
other women.
Among the diseases that cause a. vast
amount of needless suffering that may
be readily cured by Paine's celery com
pound are biliousness, torpid liver,
headaches, sleeplesness, dizziness, con-
stipation, dyspepsia and general nerv-
BUSINESS and debility.
No man or woman who is continually
ailing can successfully carry on bust
ness, or be of much real comfort to the
household.
And only a thoroughly nourished
body that has all the used-up, and
therefore harmful, material promptly
removed from the blood and tissues
can be healthy. When either of these
vital conditions of adequate repair or
elimination are incompletely done, the
organs need just such help as Paine's
celery compound is fitted to give. No
other remedy is SO valuable.
Where other remedies have failed,
Palne's celery compound will succeed.

GOOD ADVICE.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-During a visit over the creek
last evening | was quite interested in
a conversation | overheard in n OF
our city's leading groceries. Two of
the professional Republican ward heel
ers were congratulating themselves on
the ~disgruntled condition of the I'M
terrified Democracy. and | must ac-
knowledge they had great reason for
the anne. The party of Jefferson and
Jackson is without doubt at present in
an almost ~disorganized state, and,
pray, why is it so? There are. with
out doubt. at this writing fully as
many, if not more. Democrats1 within
the city's limits than for tie past
twenty years, and all that is needed
now is ward organizations. There is
yet plenty of time to form such. and
it behooves all true DEMOCRATS to at
once form themselves into clubs and
canvass their different districts, and
with the men now nominated there
will be no trouble in electing not only
their Mayor, Chief of Police and Conn
Gil, but also having the several boards
formed from their ranks. Without
doubt the Republican party have not
only the police, fire and gas boards at
their backs. but also a thoroughly or
ganized and financially furnished body
in each ward who are night and day
making the rounds of every precinct
and rounding up their forces. But
despite this there is great dissatisfac-
ton among their forces.
As an instance 7 would state that on
Friday evening last, a secret meeting
was held in the Fourth ward, composed
of delegates from each and every ward
of our city, who are known as staunch
Republicans, and who have pledged
themselves to refuse support to any
candidate who will not pledge himself
to vote against certain renegade Demo-
Gratis who are now holding clerkships
under the jurisdiction of the two
Branches OF Council. As certain ring
candidates are afraid to make such
pledges there is no doubht that they
can be classified as not being in the
push in the coming contest. 1t there
fore can plainly be seen that a little
push and energy will again place the
city in the hands Of an honest gov
eminent for the people and by the
people.
Let us at nee star the ball rolling.
and when started keep the same going
and on the evening of the 26th we will
have the satisfaction of having relegat-
ed the worst ring to the rear that any
city has ever been cursed with. The
many dissatisfied Republicans are
ready and willing to lend their aid TO
elect honest Democrats and push the
robbers who now hold our municipal
ity by the throat. Charge, Chester,
charge. and turn the daylight robbers
from their now well dev7sed plans to
throttle the taxpayers. Yours.

Grafton, January ia serious
shooting ARRAY occurred at Fetterman
Saturday night, when Col" Thomas
was shot and dangerously wounded.
Thomas and several companions went
from here to Fetterman 10 attend the
big meeting services now in progress at
that place. Some of the Fetterman
young men conceived the idea that it
would be a source of amusement to
skip" the Grafton boys, and a crowd
was organized for'that purpose. After
church services, when the Grafton boys
were on their way home, molesting no
one, a crowd suddenly appeared, with
the command to run. All the Grafton
boys except young Thomas took 10
their heels, he alone refusing to run
and three or four shots were fired at
him, 4 of them entering his body
through his shoulder blade, penetrating
his right lung. The young man is still
alive, with but small chances of his re-
covery. No one has yet been arrested
for the deed.

and on being removed, the perforated

workman lifts out conlcal bag appar

This is the future hat. which, however
bears very faint resemblance to the

size, becomes a thick felt and exactly

Now, the troubles of the hat fairly
