A Farmer in Search Of

A Chicago paper not long since re-
ported the sorrows OF q Nebraska
farmer. who had been duped by con
fdence woman at an expense Of about
81 1.000 The farmer answered an
advertisement in an Omaha paper,
which stated that a young and beau
tiful woman sought a husband with
a good home. Several letters were
exchanged and at the solicitation OF
the would-be bride, $500 TO be expend-
ed for a diamond ring was forwarded
by the farmer After an eplstolary
courtship Of three weeks he came to
Chicago to see his prospective wife,
who then cajoled him into the pur-
chase OF about 500 worth Of wedding
presents. On receipt Of these she left
him. promising to return for the we'd
ding ceremony the next day. and he
never saw Der again.
1t does not seem credible that a
man Of sound mentality, particularly
a hard-headed Nebraska farmer, could
be thus victimized. but love Is blind

Anthony Trollope's start in life was
unpromising. As he knew no lang

classical usher at a school in Brus-

suddenly transferred to a clerkship IN

qualified for the new position by gen
eraI ignorance and special incapacity
for the simplest arithmetic A vague
threat that he must pass an examina-
tipn was forgotten before it was put
into execution. and Trollope eharac-
teristcally takes occasion to denounce
the system Of competitive examination
by which he would have been exclud-
ed. Meanwhile he was turned loose
In London. and attempted to live like
gentleman on E90 a year. The re-
suits are indicated by couple Of an

Asthma Instantly Relieved.
DR.. R. Schiffmann Astounds the
Public With the Success Of
His Treatment.

Residents of this place .were as
tonished by notifications in these
columns last week that the celebra-
ted physician. DIR. Rudolph Schiif
mann, would make public test OF
his remedy in this city. He invi-
ted every man, woman and child
suffering with Asthma to call at
Thos. Kennedy's drug store and
obtain, absolutely free, trial box
of his medicine. DIR. Schifimann
adopted this novel way of Introduc-
ing his treatment, believing that a
free personal test would he the
best and only way to overcome the
prejudice and scepticism Of thous-
ands of asthmatics who had given
up in despair after going through
the whole range of so-called cures.
He has in this manner proved the
efficacy of his remedy, and without
asking the public to spend penny.
DR.. Schiffmann hopes that every
sufferer In this town obtained one
of his free samples. He fears,
however. that there were some few
who did not. before they were all
given out. In order to give fair
opportunity to those who have not
yet used the remedy, and also as a
guarantee of good faith, he has
requested this paper to announce
that he has arranged with the
above druggist to refund the
money to any person who pur-
chases Of them either SOC or 81
package of Schiffmann's Asthma
Cure between now and October 25,
and finds that it does not do eX-
actly as is claimed for it; the only
condition being that they re-
turn not less than three-fourths of
the package to them. DR.. Schiffmann
claims that in every case of true
asthma his remedy will give imme-
diate relief-usually within fifteen
seconds; always within as many

nently cured thousands of cases
