ASTHMA INSTANTLY RELIEVED
DIR. X. Schiffman Astounds the
Public with the Success OF
His Treatment.

Residents of this place were aston
ished by notifications in these columns
that the celebrated physician. DR.. Ru-
dolph Schiflmann, would make public
test of his remedy In this city on Sept.
18th. He invited every man, woman
and child suffering with Asthma to call
at Matthews Bros. drug store and OBJ
tain, absolutely free, "A trial box of his
medicine. DR.. Schiffmann adopted this
novel way of introducing his treat
ment believing that a free personal
test would be the best and only way
to overcome the prejudice and skepti-
cism of thousands of estimates 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 now requested this paper to an
nounce that he has arranged with the
| above druggists to refund the money
to any person who purchases of them
either SOC. or $1,00 package of Schiff-
mann's Asthma Cure between now and
oct. 25th, and finds that it does not do
exactly as is claimed for 1t; the only
condition being that they return not
less than three-fourths of the package
| to them. DIR. SChiffmann claims that
| in every case of true asthma his rem
edy will give immediate relief-usually
within fifteen seconds; always within
AS many minutes. 1t has positively
permanently cured thousands of cases
which were considered incurable. ~

HUMoRs OF IRISH LIFE.

mems of bulls. Here are two or three
jotted down at random.

TOWNSHIP IN JAIL.
Effort Being Made to Accom-
plish That End.

An effort is being made in the su-
ship in ail-constructively. In reality
the case is directed against the township
officers. 1t is a contempt case.
About ten years ago Alfred R. Ware
was injured in a runaway in Pleasant
Grove township Greenwood county. The
accident was alleged to have been
caused by an obstruction in the road,
and Mr.. Ware brought a suit against
the township for damages and got a
judgment for $500. The case was appeal
ed to the supreme court, and after a
long delay sent to the court of appeals,
which decided against the township. A
township was beaten. Time went on, as
time has habit of doing, but the town
ship did not pay the judgment; finally
suit was brought on the judgment, but
it was thrown out of court.
At length a mandamuS action was
commenced in the court of appeals to
compel the township to pay the judg-
ment, and the mandamuS was granted
Soon afterwards the court of appeals
went out of existence, and the township
officers have not yet complied with the
mandamuS. Now the attorneys for the
plaintiff bring proceedings in the SUI
preme court asking that the township
officers be punished for contempt of
court in not Obeying the mandamuS
In the meantime a new set of township
officers are in power, and Senator G. H
township, claims that no writ of man
damuS was ever served on them and
that nobody has been in contempt of the
supreme court anyway.

strument used by the murderer was
wrapped about with something soft.
K1usmire sold a farm on Pleasant
Ridge that belonged to his wife for $4,000
some time last spring. He decided half
the Holton farm to her in compensation,
but he says she was not satisfied. She
wanted the whole of it. 1t is thought
that the two quarrelled over this prop
erty on the night of the killing. There
were only two small children in the
house. They were probably upstairs
asleep 1t is the accepted theory that
Klusnire struck his wife over the head
is probable he kicked her over the heart
with his heavy boot, breaking the three
ribs.
The boldness of the man in trying to
conceal the death of his wife and sue
ceeding in doing SO for more than two
weeks is as remarkable as the killing,
if beyond any question of doubt killing
it is proved to be.

PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-The latest cleo
ton returns from Pennsylvania indicate
that Frank G.. Harris, Republican, has
been elected state treasurer over Elisha
A Coray, jr-, the fusion candidate, by
between $4,000 and 5000 plurality. In
1899, Barnett (Rep), for state treasurer,
had a plurality of 110,58S over Greasy
Oem.)
VIM. P. Potter CRep.) has defeated
Hartman Yerkes CUSTOM for judge of
the supreme court by about $4,000.
The vote polled in the state yester
day was unusually light, but in this
city the vote for state treasurer ex-
ceeded Barnett's vote for the same office
in 1899 by more than % 900 votes.
In Luzerne county, the home of Coray,
the latter carried the county by about
II, 900 plurality, against less than 1000
plurality for Greasy (Dem.) in 1885,
while in Montgomery county, the home
of Yerkes, the plurality was increased
nearly 1900.
Common pleas or orphans court
judges were chosen in sixteen Judicial
districts in the state, and in a great
majority of these the Republicans were
victorious.

WON'T TELL HIS NAME.
Food Inspector Farnsworth ST.
lent About EmbaImed Milk.

The result of the examination of the
supposed ''embalmed milk" secured by
Food Commissioner Farnsworth, con-
firms the belief that milk dealers in
Topeka are using preventative to keep
their milk, fresh for an unnatural
length of time.
Although this has been officially de-
termined, the food commissioner fatty
refuses to make known the name of the
milk dealer who is selling the "em-
balmed milk"
81 don't think it would be right TO
give out the NAME" said Food Com
missioner Farnsworth today. 1.-THE milk
dealer who sold this milk is a good fell
low, one of the respectable men of
the town. 1 don't know that it does any
harm to put preservative in the milk. L
do not think he should put it in
during the cold weather. 1t may be all
right in hot weather to use it,
lis it not certain that this dealer was
embalming his milk?" was asked by
reporter for the State Journal.
"Oh, yes, that's certain. enough. He
admitted that he was using preserva-
tive, and told just what it was and how
much he used" said the food commits
sioner.
The matter was brought to the at
tentiOn of the board of health but they
did not do anything about it. 1t seems
to be all right for people to sell en-
balmed milk in Topeka Oleomargarine
is prohibited by law from masqueradiZg
as butter. but it is apparently all right
for milk a week or so old to be dished
out by milk dealer as the fresh prod
