"Now, there is another thing we have got
out Of 1t, that is a united country. / nave
been sitting for a good many years In the
house of representatives by the side Of a
little, old dried-up rebel cayalryman BY the
name of Joe Wheeler. When the war with
Spain came on he wanted me to go and see
the president, the secretary and everybody
else. He wanted to get in he only weighed
95 pounds he said he could ride a horse
all Jay without firing the horse, and / tried
to tell him that he ought to let the boys
fight the war, that he was too old, that he
would die Of the fever, but old Joe said thai
he must go down there. He said that be
did not care anything about the fever, he
had but one great desire and that was that
God would give him the opportunity when
1t came his time to die, to die In the uni
form Of the old United States. 1 don't
know how 1t seems to you, but it seems to
me chat the old broken down rebel cavalry
officer, yonder on the borders Of Asia, de-
fencing the rights and sovereignty Of the
American republic, presents a rather more
persuasive figure than William ]. Bryan, Of
Nebraska, c~ondemnlng the government Of
the United States In order to exalt the mo-
tlves Of a mob of swift footed Polynesians
on the other side of the world.
I'VE have got out of the war new duties
and new responsibilities. Nations are made
great by what they do, and the great pow
ers Of the world were the nations that bore
the heavy burden and bent under the mighty
responsibilities of these passing centuries.
NaIIons are upon the map of this world for
a purpose. l believe in our country. I
believe In our flag. A great many people
talk very fuently about the flag who do not
believe in 1t at all. There are men running
for Office in the United States who are
teaching the people that the cause Of civil
liberty stands a poorer chance under the
flag of the United States than 1t does I'M
der the ~proclamatlons of a half naked Ma.
lay barbarian in the Philippine archipelago.
We, ourselves, love that flag. We trust eY-
erything we have to it, and what 1t has
been to us and what It means to us, 1t shall,
by the blessing Of God, mean to the scat
tered population that, without our purpose,
have come under the jurisdiction of our
flag and of our laws. I believe, 1 repeat,
in the American republic, and 1 back 1t
against the world. Nor do 1 think that,
since the days Of Abraham Lincoln, there
has been upon the helm of our affairs, a
s~teadler, drawer, klndlier, wiser hand than
the nand Of William Mckinley, president OF
the United States"

Hard Fan.

S.EJ. Dutton met with aserious and
painful accident at his residence at
the orner of B avenue and First
street Friday evening about s o'clock.
He had come home for the supper
hour and went to his room. In start
ing down stairs he stumbled in some
manner and fell to the bottom. His
daughter Mrs. Gephart, of Ottumwa,
and Mr.. Jones who is an inmate of
the house, heard the noise made by
the fall and ran to ascertain the
cause. They found Mr.. Dutton lying
at the foot of the stairs and in an nn
conscious condition. Medical at
tention was hastily summoned and it
was ascertained that there were no
bones broken. Mr.. Dutton is better
to-day, but he is very sore in con-
sequence of the severe bumps and
knocks received in the course of the
fall.

KINGS EVIL.
How Ignorance and super
stition go Hand in Hand.

A curious sight might have been seen
In England a couple of centuries ago.
At Whitehall Or some other royal resi-
dence a little group of people would
shrinkingly await the coming of the
king, in order to be Ntouched for the
evil.1 The specific Nevil" was scrofula,
and 4 was the popular belief that scrof-
MIA could be cured by the royal touch.
Hence the common name for scrofula
was Kings Evil.
Nowadays we know that scrofula Is a
disease of the blood and that even were
there magic in a kingly touch, no ex-
tsrnal treatment could cure scrofula.

Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta-

you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
lammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.

must deal with the blood. 1t must be
able to eradicate and eliminate the
poisons which corrupt the blood and
breed and feed disease. When the
blood is cleansed, the pimples, blotches,
boils and other eruptions disappear,
ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh
becomes sound and healthy.
THE RIGHT WAY
10 cleanse the blood from scrofula Is to
choose that remedy which has cured
thousands of people who suffered from
~Scrofula in its most grevious forms.
81 am using a good many of your
medicines in my practice" writes DR..
Joseph Fike, of Lost Springs, Marion
Co., Kansas. UTen years ago there
was an emigration from Rusland to this
country and there was a lady in the
company who was badly affected with
that dreadful disease, scrofula. Her
mouth and throat were in an awful con-
dition, and there were Jumps on the out
side, below the jaws, the size Of a hens
egg. Other doctors had been called
and they said it was a fatal case. / felt
confident that none of my remedies
would benefit her any. 1t came to my
mind that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery was recommended for such
cases, so I went to the drug store and
bought one bottle and gave it to her to
use as directed. Five bottles cured
her and she Is well to day. She is
married now and has three healthy
children"
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry judged solely by the cures it has
effected is without doubt the most pow
erful and most perfect blood purifying
medicine of the century. 1t is a radi-
cal remedy. 1t goes to the root of the
disease. Some preparations containing
mineral poisons such as mercury are
offered as cures for scrofula. These
medicines only suppress the symptoms
of disease for a while and give the skin

organs which are fed by blood are re-

destroy them. Obstinate, deep-seated
coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs
and similar dangerous forms of disease
are perfectly and permanently cured by
"Golden Medical Discovery"
"Dr. Pierce's medicine has not only
benefited me greatly but it has done
wonders for my two sons" writes Mrs.
M. Hartrick, of Demster, Oswego Co.,
N. Y. UBoth had s~crofula. I have lost
two daughters in less than FIVE years with
consumption and scrofula. My eldest
son was taken two or three years ago
with hemorrhage from the lungs. It
troubled him for over a year. He took
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and has not had a hemorrhage in over a
year. My younger son had s%crofulous
sores on his neck had two lanced, but
has not had any since he commenced to

ABSOLUTELY RELIABLE.
UGolden Medical Discovery" can be
absolutely relied on as a safe and sure
medicine for diseases caused by a scrof-
ulous condition of the blood. 1t cures

tion for negotiations for peace, but il
this is the case it must be due to
pressure brought to bear upon the two
presidents by the Burghers and Afri-

than their personal inclinations, as
available information depicts them as
determined as ever to persist in the
