Dear Sir:-Believing 1t to be my duty
to the public 1 will send you for publi-
cation Qf you so elect) an account of the
benefit myself and family have received
from using your Dead Shot to Catarrh.
Last fall caught q heavy cold and
could not break it up. and it resulted In
catarrh in the head. 1t kept growing
worse and commenced to settle on my
lungs; 1t bothered me to breathe; was
raising arge quantities of phlegm and
/ was very much worried over my con-
dition. 1t so happened l was delegate
to the State Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union, last winter, and the last
evening of the session, had been a:
committee meeting, and Eric Olson,
state lecturer of F. A. & l. u, was pres
ent, and just as we were parting he
took out of his pocket little box and
commenced putting something into his
nostrils. l asked him what it was; he
said 1t was Dead Shot to Catarrh. l
asked him if it was good for It; he said
It had been highly recommended to him.
l told him I had been suffering with
catarrh for some time and asked him to
let me try It; he did SO and l took the
name of the man who made 1t, j. B.
Dukes, of Minneapolis. The next morn
Ing found it had helped me very much.
When l got home l sat right down anil
sent In an order for One-half dozen
boxes, and before had used half of one
box l was cured. The ringing in my
ears had stopped, and 1t had cleaned
cut my lungs. l could feel the accumu-
lation in my lungs loosen and raised i.
In chunks. My daughter, Gladys, has
had catarrh for a long time; we have
tried several remedies, and among them
DR.. Halls great remedy, that he offered
to give 500 for any case it will not
cure. She used several bottles and got
no relief. She bled at the nose cor
tlEually. Sno ndQ not uSeQ One-natL
box of Dead Shot before the bleeding
was stopped and she was almost well.
have sold a good many dozen boxes in
this section and l have got to find one
person that has used it who is not con-
vlnced that it is the only remedy that
will cure catarrh, thereby preventing so
many from dying with consumption.
Everyone who uses it tries to keep it In
the house, as it is a sure cure for a cold
as soon as it is contracted. ! am con-
vinced that after person has once had
oatarrrh, 1t being parasite, the men,
brane Of the nose will never get natural
again, and they will always be more
susceptible to colds and catarrh; but
with Dead Shot to Catarrh always on
hand, you are always ready to combat
1t. Please send me two dozen boxes.
l am very respectfully yours,

worse now for never in the history of
the world has there been such a great
Capitalization Of wealth as in the past
10 years. These are appalling facts, and
IL allowed to continue will result in the
absolute destruction of our country ere
the close of the goth century. For you
may search the records of the past and
nowhere can you find such a rapid CEN
tralization of wealth. The mortgage
debt of Wisconsin was; in $780, 1922.
100000, and on this we were paying
$S, 500 900 interest. The total wealth of
this country is about $62, ,OOO, ,OOO, 900, and
upon this there is bonded and mortgage
debt of $4,000, ,O0O, 900, and the great
bulk of this falls upon the shoulders
of agriculture on account of the visable
nature OF our property. To show you
the great accumulative power of in
terest: If 81 was put at interest at
seven per cent, it would amount 10
$173,42. Chattle slavery carries with it
the care Of the slaves. Bond slavery
carries with 1t the care only Of the
bonds. In July. '66, the national debt
was $2,77S, ,2SS, 1889, and on July 1, 's3,
it was $1,545. .9S5 .6S613, a decrease OF
debt of $1,227 $40. 1876. Now, the
average price of wheat in '66 was $2.19
per bushe1, in '93 the average price of
wheat was 81 cents per bushel. From
these figures it will readily be seen that
II the national debt could be paid with
wheat in sc it would require 1886, ,317,-
S97 bushels, and if paid in July, '93, it
would have required 1852, ,936, ,455 BUSH
els, an increase of debt in wheat Of
1886, ,618,568 bushels. The amount of
interest paid upon the national debt
from sc to '93 was 81 ,536, ,O97 ,1O4, and
the debt measured In labor today is
greater than ever.
There has also been paid to bond hold
ers since 1865, premiums amounting 20

he told me that your farmers won't

If we succeed in showing the farmers
of this country, their true condition on
the one hand, and the remedy for that
condition on the other, then We will
have succeeded, for work done in a
righteous cause is never lost.
Had the 800 Spartans failed when they
faced the mighty hosts of Persia, where
fell their gallant leader L.eonidas, bleed
ing from a thousand wounds that Greece
might be free? Did Horatius fail when
he stood upon the bridge of Rome be-

fail when he faced the mighty hosts of
Britons though today he sleeps a
prisoner in st. Helena. where once slept
the mighty Napoleon? Did John Brown

poured forth his hearts blood on Bunk

Their gallant deeds will illuminate the
pages of history and stimulate the de-

from the soil annually about $4,000, ,OOO,-
600. We are interested in the extension
of our export trade. In '9S our product
represented seven per cent of the entire
export trade, or nearly $1,000, ,0OO, 900.
The directions which we wish to extend
our trade is in the Orient, because this
is the trade which we must get to alb
sorb our vastly increasing crops. In
this country we consume about eight
bushels of wheat per capita. England
consumes about four and France about
four and one-half. II China alone
would consume one peck per capita, she
would consume our entire export trade,
and the value of our export trade sets
the price of our entire crop by the de-
mand so created. All the great nations
of Europe have secured permanent foot
hold now in the Orient, and if our states
men are not alert they may rob us of
the brightest jewel in our commercial
crown. But the majority of the electors
Of this nation, upon Nov. 6, decreed that
we will hold the great advantage we
now have in the Orient, and hold it fast

little advance in rank, and before the
sixth division can be entered another
examination has to be passed. A little
knowledge and a great deal of bribery
having been successful in getting him
through this, our mandarin is now per-
son OF some Importance, a sort of district
magistrate, probably. and his button is
of pure white quartz. In this capacity
he can supplement his income gloriously
by substantial presents from both plain
tiff and defendants alike, and in few
years has probably extorted enough from
the unhappy litigants to join the ranks
of the fifth class and wear a transparent
crystal button on his cap. Yet another
grade, by the same means, he may adj
vance in due course, and upon attaining
! tc the dignity of fourth-class mandarin
turquoise button is substituted for the
crystal one.
Here it is that many Chinese stop in
their upward career, for before another
advance may be made another examina
tion has to be passed" and this is a
terribly expensive process. Should the
resources of our mandarin, however,
prove equal to the occasion, he proudly
enters the third class, and his button,
though still blue, is transparent like
amethyst
BY diplomacy and cringing, still more
bribery and cunning, the second class is
at last open to him, and with carved
red coral button upon his cap he proud
ly governs one of China's great cities.
He can now go no higher, save by OBJ
tanning the good will of the emperor Or
of the empress. The mandarinship of
the first class is the direct gift of the
reigning monarch, ands carries with it
still a red coral buttony but quite plain

in the second class.

money, he had his clothes lined with it.
1--WE went to Texas, where the cow
boys come from. We landed in the little
town called Beanville. Our mark was the
county Judge, very pompous individual,
who carried a piece Of blue steel in his
blue jeans as big round as a stove pipe.
Dannie was the Indian, while Jimmie and
were the broken-doWn miners For
material we had as pretty brick as
coyetous eyes ever saw. We hedged on
the original game We wanted to spring
something new We called on the Judge
and told him hard luck story. To be
concise we said we were in pursuit of
an Indian whom we had as a partner
in mining enterprise out in California.
We took a long draw and we pictured to
that judge mine which was overlooking
with gold nuggets. We had him going
in an hour, and his eyes sparkled with
greed. We told him that the. Indian had
stolen a brick made of pure gold and
that we had pursued him for thousands
of miles. We wound up by saying that
we had seen the fugitive in Beanville,
and the judge leaped into the air and
cracked his heels together.
Why, have seed that Varmint right
here not an hour ago nc exclaimed
I'VE simulated surprise and expressed
anxiety to lay hands on him. The three
of us entered into compact to catch the
Indian. For his part the judge was to derive
one~third from the sale the brick. Just
as we expected, the judge hot-footed into
the tall brush and hunted ND the bogus
Indian. Dannie partially covered mis-
face, and from his poise and appearance
any one would have thought he was
real Indian.
well the upshot of it was that Dan
ME soil him tho whole brick for $4,000.
He thought he had got the best of US.
T'he three Of us knew it would not be
healthy around there III a short time. The
judge slept with the brick, and it was
so hrassy it gave him mild case Of
blood poisoning. He got next that he had
been f1immed and he called out the rang
ers. A wild race ensued across country.
There were no hurdles to jump We hit
the ground only in the high places We
did not know where We were going we
split ont. After many vicissitudes and
dangers I reached Galveston. and there
boarded steamer for New York. What
became Of Dannie and Jimmie? They
were captured taken back to Beanville.
and the man who had tried to beat us
and lad got skinned himself was on the
bench. He gave EN- each forty-f1ve
