There are people who are suffering
with weak lungs. They have an obsh-
nate cough, are weak, emaciated, hope
less. They have been taught there's no
hope for them. Some one puts into their
hands one of DR.. Pierce's books or adj
vertisements and through this medium
they see healthy, happy men and women,
who declare that their lungs had been
weak, they had been racked by coughs,
had been emaciated, feeble, hopeless,
and were positively and permanently
cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. These cures can be num-
bered by scores of thousands.

Christmas Celebration.

Chanute had little revolver prac-
tice the other night that made quite
a stir in the immediate neighborhood.
1t seems that little bad blood exist
ed between the parties. They live in
neighboring houses.
The other night they engaged in a
very interesting conversation across
lots, during which some choice COM
pliments of the season were ex-
changed. The results were an ex-
change of shots as claimed by one
party. The other party claimed the
shooting was all on one side. We
don't know anything about the mer-
its of the case.
All we know is that nobody was
hurt but one or two parties were
about as badly scared as it is possible
to be. We would suggest that the
boys get out somewhere and practice
ON barn awhile before engaging in
any more shooting bees. After few
weeks practice they might become
proficient enough to hit the barn &C.
casiOnally at close range, then they
could try their hands ON something a
trifle smaller. 1t seems like such a
waste of ammunition to continue the
recent method pursued. Besides
somebody over in the other ward
might get hurt.
We would suggest that hereafter
when these gentlemen want to cele-
brate national holiday with fire.
arms that they get off on the prairie
somewhere out of sight of man or
beast and station themselves thirty
yards apart and open up with a full
battery. After their weapons are
emptied they could proceed to reload
and fire as before. In this way no.
body would be IN any danger and the
demands of honor could be fully salts
fed.
Now the matter has got into court
and is going to cause trouble and ex-
pense which seems all unnecessary in
an affair of this kind.
The case came up before Judge
Beatty last Wednesday but was put
off till the q.

Some of the friends of the Nica-
ragua Canal in both House and S.r-
ate, arc determined to try 10 push y
bill providing FOR the construction Of
the Canal through at this session Of
Congress, without waiting for he
report Of the Canal Commission
which will not be made for ut le.s
year. 1t is perfectly well under
stood, rs it was at the time, that the
sole object in view when the Canal
Commission was lcgislated for hy
Congress, was to delay legislation for
Canal. 1t is also believed th0t 8
majority in both House and Senate
would vote for q bill to construct n
Canal, il given. an opportunity to DO
SO, but, owing to the approach Of The
Presidential campaigo, and the fact
that large appropriations for other
purposes, will be absolutely neces
sary, it is very doubtful whether th"
leaders will allow canal bin to be
voted on at this session; they will
quiet those who would like to v3t.
for the bill by telling them that little
time will be lost by waiting until the
neqt session, when the report OF the
Canal Commission will be ready.

The action Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury in ordering that the in
t'rnal revenue receipts of the CIV.
ernment shall be paid over to the
National City Bank of New York City,
to use or distribute as it sees fit, is
one OF the most outrageous acts that
has ever been done by any Admins
tration from the foundation of this
government. That bank is the most
powerful financial institution in this
country. Its capital stock is ten
million dollars, and it's deposits
average more than one hundred mil
lions. 1t is bank made up Of rail
way kings. For the favor granted,
the National City Bank will not pay
one cent to the government, and in
return will make enormous sums Of
money, for it is at liberty to put the
money out at interest. This was
brought about through the influence
of Hanna and his syndicate Of bond
holders. Secretary Gage had bettcr
read the past history Of the United
States. He will find that there was
United StS9es bank issue that made
and unmade Presidents half Il cen
tury ago.
