Cough Remedy in our home. We
keep bottle open all the time and
whenever any of our family or my.

use the Cough Remedy, and as a re-

McNALL BUSTED.

THE irrepressible Web McNall
has been set down on. Char
i ges were preferred against him
by Arthur Capper of the Mail and
Breeze. He was notified by the
Governor to appear and make answ-
CT, which he disdained to do. The
Governor thereupon declared the
Office of Insurance Commissioner
vacant and appointed successor to
Web McNall.
This is entirely proper and the
same policy should be employed
with every Populist in Office with the
exception of positions in some of
our public institutions requiring
special technical skill or peculiar quail
ifcations. "Fire the rascals out. "
Then, when the Populists arc in
power in the State, if such a calam-
ity should ever again besmirch the
fair fame of the State, let the Repu-
blicans take their medicine without
a murmur.
Web McNall is a first class typi-
cal Pop.
He can out howl coyote. When
he was a Republican he howled
himself out of the party. He like
wise believes in reaching out after
everything in sight.
When he was sheriff he is said to
have rode old "fuke" 600 miles in a
day in serving some kind of writ,
according to his mileage returns.
No man ever knew the first prin-
ciples of bleeding a corporation
till Web got into the insurance Of
fee.
His gall is the greater part of his
anatomy. With these natural quail
ifcations he is the logical Pop can
didate for Governor and we hereb
nominate Web McNali. y

CALAMITY TO THE LAST.

w ]. BRYAN in his Texas
M speech informed his hearers
w that all this talk about
returning prosperity was only a
myth. 1t would seem that Billy is
not fully awake to what is going on
in this country of late. Possibly he
is only reading the yellow back jour-
mails
Has he not heard of the big ad-
vance in wages to the iron and steel
operatives just gone into effect1 Did
he not see the notice of increased
wages to the thousands of employees
in the tin manufactured Why don't
someone call his attention to the
general advance in the wages paid in
our big cotton mills all over the
east1
Suppose he has not seen the
statistics OF las: year on the employ
ment of labor ascompared with the
year before. He is probably not
aware of the fact that the employed
labor of the country increased about
80 per cent in one year.
Oh Billy, come off, that is too old
a chestnut, you are not awake to the
rivival of business that is TAX
ing place all around you. Open
your eyes and see for yourself. Take
little trip through the manufactu-
ing and mining regions and note
the activity and signs of returning
prosperity everywhere, not only re-
turning but already here, Come,
come, this species of demagoguery
might have been popular at one
time, but the people have entirely
it now.
You will have to get on some other
platform, Billy, before you under
take another campaign. Try and
think of something more up-to-date.
You deluded many of the people
with that old cry once, Billy but
they have now out grown you. Try
and think up something new. That
"crown of thorns" was quite fetchy
for awhile but it has been worn
threadbare. Fry and get out of the
Did ruts and let US have something
more nearly in accord with this ex-
oansive progressive era.

The Erie Sentinel last week. in
quite lengthy article, scores Supt'
Sailors for holding the county nor
NAL at Chanute this year, claiming
that it is simply political move
and made to the detriment of the
teachers Of the county. The editor
of the Sentinel, in this uncalled-for
attack, seems to be trying to excuse
her own arbitrary course while SUI
perintendent, in refusing to heed
the time-honored custom OF passing
the institute around in the county.
From the time of the establishment
of the county institute down to the
time of the Sentinel editors oecu-
pancy of the position of county su-
perintendent, the unwritten law of
the location of the institute has been
to not hold it every year at any one
town, thereby accommodating the
teachers in the different localities as
often as possible. 1t is strongly
limited that it was political pressure
that caused the worthy editor of the
Sentinel to violate this well-estab-
lished custom. The former super
intendent, judging from the records
of the attendance at the various in
stitutes, must be wrong in her con-
clusion that Erie accommodates the
teachers of the county better than
Chanute. If she will look up the
records she will find that all the big
institutes of the county have been
held at Chanute. She will also find
that one among the very largest in
the state was held at Chanute. Mr..
Sailors doubtless felt that he want
ed his first institute to be success
in point of numbers as well as in
thorough work done, and being ia
miliar with the attendance at the
different points in the county here
tofore, he knew where to locate it
to assure an attendance. Had
his worthy predecessor looked lit
tie more to the interest of the teach
ers of the county and paid less at
tention to the county seat pull, she
might have had money enough to
pay the expenses of her last normal
and not had to call on the commits
sioners to help her out with the ex-
penses.

BROOM CORN.

The market has gone skyward. Corn
has been selling in the Illinois Dist.
at as high as $40 pei ton and 5000 Is
freely predicted. Thompson in Kan
sas City recently sold twelve tons at
800 per ton.
We persume it was some of his old
stock, as the new crop is worth more
money.
At the manufacturers meeting in
Chicago recently brOoms were advan-
ced fifty cents per dozen, which means
about $40 per ton on broom corn.

The Erie Record oflast week

The Erie Record oflast week pass
ed mild criticism on the bill auth
orizing the people to vote on the
proposition to build a new court
house and county High school, in
that it located the courthouse in the
public square without giving the peo-
pie of Erie any say in the matter.
The only reason that the locst-
ion was fixed in the bill was that the
committee of gentlemen from Erie
who were supposed to voice the sem
timent of the people they represen-
ted, requested that the bill be so
prepared. If there is any blame in
the matter, it surely does not attach
to either our representative OF SEN
ator or to ony one else in this neck
Of the woods.

EXTRAORDINARY
Surgical Triumph In Tendon Grating
and Bone Setting.

Surgical Triumph In Tendon Grating
and Bone Setting.
Two notable surgical operations
the first successful ones of their kind
in New York hospital-were per-
formed at the Hospital for Cripples at
Forty-Second street and Lexington
avenue. BY one a Virginia girl, IA
years old, who has been paralyzed for
eleven years, will regain the use of her
limbs through tendon grating. In the
other a patients thigh bone, dislocated
at birth, was taken from its original
socket and placed fully two inches to
one side in socket or acetabullum
made for the purpose. DR.. Royal Whit
man, chief of clinic at the hospital,
operated. Matte Mayhem, the para
lytic, lost the use Of both feet from
infantile paralysis in her third year.
DR.. Whitman first ascertained what
tendons were degenerate and then
made an incision in the thigh and en-
grated small parts Of healthy tendons
where the degenerate parts had been
cut away. When the operation was
finished the feet were placed in plaster
casts. The doctors say the child will
have the full use Of her limbs in two
months. The operation is Of French
origin, and yet even in France sur
geons have not yet attempted to per-
form the operation on any but very
young children. The other operation
was what is called the Lorenz opera
tion. from DR.. Lorenz, a Frenchman.

Gen. Wheeler, will go to Manila as a
volunteer nurse under the patronage
of the most prominent women philan-

have the support of women's patriotic
organizations. Individual members
and state chapters of the Daughters
of the American Revolution are pre-
pairing to gather supplies for American
soldiers in Philippine hospitals to be
distributed under Miss Wheeler's di-
rection. Miss Wheeler is making prep
arations for her voyage to Manila. Dur
ing her stay at the capital beautiful
jewel casket was presented to her in
the name of the women of Montgom-
cry, Ala, in testimony of their love and
admiration and in recognition Of the
services rendered by her to Alabama
soldiers during the war with Spain.
The gift was purchased with money
contributed through committee of
which Mrs. F. H. Gilmore was chair
man. 1t was originally intended that
the presentation should take place in
Montgomery, but this plan was aban-
doned on account Of Miss Wheeler's
pressing engagements in the north.

Gated in a little town that then was
on the frontier and waited with the
confidence Of youth for clients. Before
I had fairly opened my Office was re-
tanned to defend a man for stealing a
horse. This elated me very much, for
/ was not aware at the time that the
case had been refused by all the other
lawyers in town, as defending horse
thief was not thing to be, desired If a
man valued his life. The case came
to trial before an old Judge and jury
composed of bewhiskered ranchers.
There was no doubt that the man was
guilty, but he had a number of friends
who were willing to swear to anything,
and thought it my duty to make the
best possible use Of them. They were
all willing to swear that the defendant
was forty miles away from the spot
when the horse was stolen, and the
prosecution was unable to break down
their testimony. I saw that was go
ing to free my client, so it was with
satisfied air that saw the jury leav-
ing the room to prepare their verdict.
They were back in five minutes. and
the old judge asked them If they had
succeeded In arriving at a verdict.

he shifted the gun he carried on his
