almost universal use in the Hospitals of Europe
and America for the cure of every form of Asthma.
The cures wrought by it are really marvellous.
Among others the editor OF the Farmers Magazine,
of Washington, d. c., Mr.. Alfred Lewis. testifies
that after eight years continuous suffering, espec-
tally in Hay-fever season, the KOla Plant completely
cured him. He was so bad that he could not lie
down night or day, for fear of choking: After
fifteen years suffering from the worst form OF
Asthma Mrs. A. Mcdonald of Victor. Iowa, writes
that the Kola Plant cured her two weeks. Rev.
S. H. Eisenberg, Centre Hail. Pa; Rev; John l..
Moore, Alice, s. c.; Mr.. Frank C. Newal, of the
Market National Bank Boston, and many others
give similar testimony of their cure of Asthma,
after five TO twenty years suffering by this wonderful
new remedy. If you suffer from Asthma in any
form in order to prove the power of this new botanic

soldiers Homestead Rights.

An officer, soldier, seaman, or marine
who served not less than 80 days during
the rebellion, who had prior to June %,
1874, made a homestead entry OF less
than 100 acres, NAV enter an additional
quantity of land adjacent to his former
entry or elsewhere, sufficient to make,
with the previous entry, 16O acres. This
right extended to tho widow, if unmar-
ried, otherwise to the minor orphan chill
dren by proper guardian, is a personal
one, and is transferable; it is subject to
assignment and can be exercised by
another.
d. W. Eastman, Commander, Depart
ment of Kansas, Topeka, in General Or
ders, states that he is reliably informed
that parties are offering merely nominal
sums for these rights, Sl.50 per acre in
some cases. These rights, Commander
Eastman states, are in many instances
worth SIS per acre, and he advises vet
Grams holding such claims to wat until
they can get a fair price.

hurt you no longer. ~
1t is customary to say that men are
strong and women tender: but there is
nothing so fine as the unobtruded
strength of woman nor so exquisite as
the hidden tenderness of a man.
If every woman's faults were written
on her forehead bangs would be fash

Nothing irons out woman wrinkles
so pleasantly as the knowledge that the
man who threw her over is living IN
happily with his wife.

Our enemies may give us little dis
comfort, but the capacity of our friends
to hurt US is little less than demoniac.

The way to be we'll is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
of the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that is their
work.
Purifying your blood is not a ques-
ton of taking laxative of physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are al
ready in your blood, causing your pres
ent sickness, it leaves there g
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid

to afford aid to your kidneys by using

Taibott & Pa,mer's stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York September 1.-The irreguarity
 and uncertainty that has characterized the dealings in stocks throughout the week
 We're again noted in today's market. Dur ing the greater part of the day the general tcne of the market was a sagging one. with dealings in very light volume, par
 ticularly the standard issues. Towards noon a very pronounced advance took place in the Vanderbilts. which was. as is usu- ally the case, effective in turning the rest of the market upwards. When the advance
 in the Vanderbilts, which attend really
 market again relapsed into the conditions prevailing earlier in the day. The advance in the anderbilts, which attained really
 sensational proportions in Omaha and Northwest was without any special ex- p,anation. As was to be expected, the fa-
 miliar rumors of amalgamation of theso systems through the exchange of securi-
 ties were revived but apparently without
 any more warrant than there was for same
 reports early in the year. The difficulty.
 however, of accounting for the general
 level of these stocks without having re- course to such theories is manifest, and on this account the rumorS attain credence
 whenever disseminated. Notwithstanding
 the indications of a large decrease In the bank reserves tomorrow the money market
 was fairly easy all day, and the only ef- feet of the apprehensions in regard to the bank statements to restrict activity pend- ing the publication of the figures. The day was again practically newsless: London was strong and foreign houses were mod crate buyers on balance. Of the railroad earnings, the most important were New York Central, where 1t was noted that the company earned in the past fiscal year about 52s per cent on it's capital stock. Apart from the Vanderbilts, the firmest features were Southern Railway preferred, and Tennessee Coal and Iron. On the other hand, a rather sharp decline took place in Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and Southern Pa cific continued to reflect pronounced press ure . szs EHsHHHSd4

later on that they have failed to benefit the crop The market opened one to four points higher. Cables were quite satisfac- tory and receipts. though promising free, made less impression, especially the inter- for movements for the week. Interior re- ceipts for the week. 4.60o bales; last week, 45 O00; last year, 44.00O The result of to- days business was six to eight points ad- vance. As to the volume of business there was not at any time much doing and the total footed up small. Texas rains appear to have covered many sections and at some points were heavy. The rain question now appears to be something of back number and is attracting no attention. Despite the free receipts in all directions, both ports and interior the market was well supported most of the day. Shorts covered freely the last hour.

 Son. '
 New York, September Tt Is possible that we shall witness considerable lower prices in the course of time but just now a rather conservative temper will probably prevail. Even If crop damage has been greatly overestimated the outlook Is cer- tainly not brilliant. It Is difficult matter to conclude from the information at hand that the crop will equal the one of the past season. and Neill's twelve million just now appears 10 us preposterous. The course of prices for some time will be most likely shaped by receipts than crop conditions. It may be observed that no accounts from the south pretend that the crop Is even fine Rains were reported at Palestine.
