Rev. John II. Watson testifies in the
New York World that it has saved him
from the edge Of the grave when dying of
Kidney disease and terrible suffering when
passing water. Mr.. Calvin G.. Bliss,
North Brookfield. Mass, testifies to his
cure OF long standing rheumatism. Mr..
Jos. Whitten, of Wolfboro, n. H., at the
age of eighty-five, writes of his cure of
Dropsy and swelling of the feet, Kidney
disorder and Urinary difficulty, which
compelled him to rise many times during
the night for relief. Many ladies, in
Guiding Mrs. C. G. Fowler, Locktown, N
j., andsMrs. Sarah Tharp, Montclair, Ind.
also testify to its wonderful curative power
in Kidney and allied disorders peculiar to
womanhood.

that Frazier was waylaid and murdered by
his rebel neighborS while on a visit to his
family about the time he disappeared from
our camp; but this was not known to us in
1862.
Some members of our company had been
transferred and promoted, a few did not
re-enlist, some We're promoted and be-
came commissioned officers in other or
CARNATIONS, but the majority by far had
been discharged for disa bility caused by
sickness, accidents and wounds, and the
great majority of deaths had been caused
by sickness. The dead of our company
are buried in nine States and three Terri
tories, and the distance of the grave of our
comrade buried south to the grave of the
one buried farthest north is 1000 miles,
and the total distance marched by the COM
pany during its service. by careful computa-
ton, foots up nearly 10000 miles.
APPENDIX.
During the Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic held at ST. Paul,
Mimi, in 1896, my company had its first
Reunion in 80 years. The roll was called,
and So men responded with vigorous
'Here!" All gray, some badly crippled
with rheumatism and old age, but still on
deck; and all were overjoyed at meeting
and clasping hands with this old comrade
once more. A good many had to be intro
duced to one another. There We're many
affecting scenes. Dim eyes and husky
voices were plenty. After the Reunion
was over We went out to a photographer
and had ma snificent group photograph
made with 81 comrades, and that is cher
ished memento in the homes Of nearly all
of us.

OF the reputation which Lincoln left
behind him in the neighborhood where he
passed much of his boyhood and youth,
an aged man in the vicinity, who was
Abe's playmate, furnishes much that is
interesting in regard to his early habits.
his earnest desire to learn, and his passion
for books which he was not able to obtain.
He read everything hei could find in all
the region about; it, may have been that
this deprivation of books and the means
Of learning threw him upon his own re-
sources and led him into those modes of
thought, of quaint and apt illustration
and logical reasoning so peculiar to him.
He was about the only one in the vicinity
who could read and WEite; he was noted for
his kindness TO every one, and his services
were frequently draYnupon by the settlers
to write their letters, ia kindness he ALWAYS
cheerfully rendered. Said the old man:
Abe was all'rs much given to larnin'."
Whenever the court was in session he was
a frequent attendant, as often as he could
be SPACED from the laboEs OF the farm, and
especially when lawyer OF the name of
John A. breckenridge was to appear in
any case. Breckenridge was the fore
most lawyer in that region, widely famed
as an advocate in criminal cases. Lin
coin was sure to be present when he spoke.

The lawyer soon came to know him. Years
afterwards, when Lincoln was President,
a venerable gentleman one day entered
his office in the White House, and standing
before him said: "Mr President, you
don't know me-" Mr.. Lincoln eyed him
sharply for moment. then quickly re-
piled, with a smile: "Yes, do; you are

Owls have mission to perform In
Chicago. One sent to a commission
merchant proved so successful In rid
ding the warehouse Of rats and mice
having been freed at night with tho
idea of making an experiment In this
direction-that other commission mem
began to look for owls, and from the
commission firms the idea gradually
spread TO the grocers, butchers and
market keepers generally of the city.
Now large percentage of these men
keep an owl down In the cellar during
the daylight and bring 1t up to the store
when darkness falls. 1t Is said that the,
expense and care of maintaining owls
are more than repaid by their services
in vanquishing the rats and mice. The
owners and janitors of the large apart
ment houses in the city are also begin
ming to realize the value OF possessing
an owl when rats, mice, cockroaches
and vermln generally are to be exter-
minated.

CATARRH or STOMACH.
A Pleasant, simple. BnI Safe and Enectual
Cure for IL.

A Pleasant, simple, Bni Safe and Enectual
Cure for IL.
Catarrh OF the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
fun or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, formation Of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing; head
aches, fckle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often foul taste In the
mouth, coated tongue and IL the in
terror OF the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, infiamed condi-
ton
The cure OF this common aud OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treat
ment which causes the food TO be
readily, thoroughly digested before il
has time TO ferment and irritate the
delicate mucous surfaces OF the stom-
ach. To secure a prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing 10
20 and when normal digestion is Sc
cured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According 10 DR.. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment Is TO use af-
ter each meal a tablet, composed OF
Diatase, aseptic pepsin. little uux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at ell drug
stores under the name OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a
patent medicine can be used with per
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher, OF 27l0 Dearborn
street, Chicago, III writes: "Catarrh
is local condition resulting from n u.
lected cold in the lhead, whereby the
lining membrane OF the nose becomes
intnmed and the poisonous diseharg
therefrom passing backward into the
throat caches the stomach thus pro
ducing catarrh Of the stomach. Medi.

AFTER INSURANCE COMPANIES.

Council bill No. 2, fixing the tax OF
insurance companies At five per cent
per annum on all premiums seems
rather heavy and may have the effect
TO drive the foreign companies away
from the territory. In Kansas the ex
ira session OF the legislature fixed the
rate at two per cent, and the com
panies are still registering kick.
The effect, however, may not be in
furious. and may be the means Of sup
plying the necessary insurance by the
organization of home companies.

II the Times-Jo ournal and other Re-
publican territorial papers which pre-
tend that they are for early statehood

constitution which they shall frame
and sign validity without the useless
expense TO the people Of submitting II
20 = voteP Economy of time and ex-
pense strongly argue for this course.
II experience shows that IL contains
any defects they can be easily correct
ed by either the general assembly
without extra expense TO the people,
or by vote OF the people at a general
election without extra expense. In
either event congress has 10 pass upon
IL favorably before il can have validity
As stated heretofore by the LEADER,
this has been done in several of the
territories seeking statehood and was
found perfectly satisfactory TO the
people, for II saved them a heavy and
useless expense. II this is done state
hood can be secured by January, 1900
Another thing that is wholly unneees
sary is TO nemorialize congress for
authority TO prepare for statehood
Such authority from congress in nc
wise commits that body 10 admit the
territory TO statehood. All depends
on the constitution, which must be re
publican in form, and the conditions
relating to her ability 70 assume the
statehood relation. Now show your

beat the bush. You have Republican
legislature, a Republican delegate in
