STATE REFORMATORY.

A State reformatory for youths is a
pressing necessity It is almost criml-
nal for the State to delay this great
need. Boys of tender years are being
sent to the changing for offenses
thoughtlessly committed for the lack
of good moral influences, many of whom
are neglected waits. The object of the
state should not be so much to get la
Dor or punish these youthful criminals
as it should be to rescue them from
life of CRIME and wrong doing, and make
them good and industrious citizens.
The legislature tInkers with the code
and wastes enough money, if properly
appropriated to this great christian
charity, as to not only establish the re-
formatory, but to make it self sustain
ing This has been urged on every
Legislature for years, and yet they delay
The people should universally insist on
a state reformatory for youthful crimi-
nails. The people owe it to society to
protect and save the young from being
sent to the changing to be disgraced
and educated in the criminal curricu-
lum taught by thieves, the vile and the
disgraced

THE SOUTH MUST LEARN.

Suppose each Southern State had
only one good cotton and one good
wooden mill, and the people of that
State only bought their every day
clothes from these home industry mills,
even this little cooperation would save
the South from more burdens than all
of the speeches of their politicians
When we eat, drink and wear more
things of our own make, and do more

no cinch on the South's hard-earned

THE WIND CLAN.

Col. Bryan shows his continuing
aversion to harmony with Democrats
not attunded to himself by drawing his
pen and jabbing Herewith the fairy
form of the Hon. Grover Cleveland.
To tell the truth, the Colonel doesn'
make graceful attack He has not
the command of ink that he has OF
voice, and IN the matter of dulness
and reverberant monotony we are not
sure that there is much to choose be-
tween the Ostrich Tanner and the Fish
erman
Still, the candid philosopher must
agree with much that Col. Bryan has
to say about Mr. Cleveland, and with
what Mr.. Cleveland is known to think
abont Col. Bryan. About each other
these distinguished Democrats are sub
stant1ally right, whatever be their vary
ing degrees of correctness or incorrect
ness as to other subjects.
1t may not be courteous, but 1t is ma
tural that two of trade should not
agree. The members of the Wind Clan
of the Omahas used to spread and
shake their blankets when wind was
wanted, but as rule windmaker does
not love wind-maker, and the Wind

SORES AND
ULCERS

Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood is IN poor condition is
sluggish, weak and unable to throw off
the pOlsons that accumulate in it. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
to life would follow should it heal before
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and allimpurities eliminated from the sys-
tenn. SIS. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
up the general health and removing from
the system a CONSTANT DRAIN
effeteInatter UPON THE SYSTEM
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or
ulcer heals. is the tendency of these old
indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
of the trouble. S. S. S. does and no matter
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though your constitution has broken
down, it will bring relief when nothing
else can. 1t supplies the rich, pure blood
necessary to heal the sore and nourish
the debilitated, diseased body.
