ST. JACOBS OIL.

In cases where bronchitis has be-
come chronic from want OF proper
treatment in the earlier stages, there
is nothing SO good as DR.. August

junction with which Is strongly ad-
vised the use of St. Jacobs Oil as an
outward application along the front of
the throat. from close up under the
chin to well down to the top Of the
chest; the one remedy assists the
other and as intended, they work In
complete unison. The wonderful pen
etrating power of st. Jacobs Oil ena-
bles 1t to reach .he adhesion of for

to break away. making expectoration
easier and more free. DR.. August
Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, drank

the breathing. This manner of treat
ment (and there is no other two rem
edies that will work together SO sue
cessfully) reachc. the difficulty from
the outside and the inside at the same
time. St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots
of the adhesion and assists DR.. August

unison in healing and curing. The above
remarks apply with equal force in cases
of asthma, Group, whooping cough, en-

Jacobs Oil and DR.. August Koenig's
Hamburg Breast Tea always in the
house in order that they may be
promptly used in the first stages.
Often the maladies develop with won

OF all the strange things in China
none is more remarkable than the
way in which the farmers along the
great river Yangtse-Kiang transport
their stock and produce to the vari-

They build immense RATS, some of
them two or three acres in area, and
construct on them complete farm es-
tablishments. There are houses,
barns for grain and fodder, stables for
horses and cattle, and pig pens. AS
the journey is long-often from 900
to 900 miles, they take along a great
store of osiers and employ the time
in plating all sorts of useful and orna-

George Carmack. the man who dlscoV-

accompanied by his wife. arrived in San

safe, sound and happy, and neither they
nor the machine showed any effects or
the long trip other than from exposure
to sun and wind, says the San Francis
CO Chronicle.
Not an accident of any kind happened
although the cycle meter showed run
of 9SSA miles, and if there was road
map it would show that the machine
went where a two-horse team could
not take wagon.
Mrs. Carmack is as enthusiastic an
automobiist as is her husband. She
laughs often as she talks OF their tour,
and is as technical in her language as
the builder of the machine could be.
She knows the machine thoroughly and
says 1t is not strange that she does, for
they lived in it for a month. The trip
was an outing. They carried their own
tent and provisions and ate and camped
along the road wherever fancy TOOK
them. They left Seattle on August 81,
but Carmack says they were really
travelling only about twenty days.
They were not out for records, and the
highest daily runs were not more than
sixty-fve miles.
Some of the grades were so heavy"
Carmack said, that the automobile slid
down without the wheels moving. put
on the brake, reversed the lever and
turned the power on so that we simply

that paper knows who voted for the
aldermen, and why they voted for
them, we admit 1t has the advan-
tage Of us, but perhaps it knows
because it YVES ringleader in the
proceedings. We know that the four
Republicans were nominated by the
RepV blicans, made the race solely on
the Republican platform and were
elected. While our eyaoting contem-
porary is asking questions it should ask
itself why, If it was Democratic
victory, the Democrats didn't elect
the other four aldermen too. In
claiming that so many true blue Dem
ocrats scratched, the organ is accusing
them Of serious as well as oontemp-
tible offense. Every man who went
into the Democratic primary did it
with the taojt pledge to support the
nominees, and If he didn't do it he
broke his word, and il he broke faith
in this instance he is likely to do it
in some other instance. Everybody
knows the high standing among fair
and honest men of those whose word
is no good. If the Democrats are that
sort they ought all have been defeat

paper openly accuses men OF its own

ARE PLAINLY HYPooRITEs.

1t has been nearly three years since
Senator Goebel WAS killed at Frank
fort, and although the Democrats Of
the state, for political purposes, have
repeatedly declared ON every occasion
that the assassins have been found in
the persons of Youtsey, Powers and
Howard, they do not believe it strong
ly enough to pay the rewards offered
for the apprehension of the murderers.
The Franklin county fiscal court has
again refused to pay the 81, 900 reward
it offered nearly three years ago. The
Democratic organs with contemplate
psrsistenoy always allude to the &C.
cused as the "assassins," and the
Democrats with pious omniscience de-
clare that they undoubtedly have the
right men. yet the reward is still
withheld. Everything that has mark
ed tho outrageous and unjust persecu-
tion of the men charged with the muir
der of Senator Goebel has branded the
Goebelites as set Of hypocrites and
INSCRIPTIONS demagogues, who have
only sought to make political capital
out Of the deed. Stopping at nothing
to accomplish their ends, with all
their rascality they have not been
shrewd enough to cover up the
tracks of perjury, persecution and
prejudice. Their paid witnesses, po-
litical courts and professional perse-
cutors have done their work well,
but their every action indicates that
the Goebelites know they have not
caught the right meu and are only
intent on carrying out to the bitter
end their threat to damn the Repub-
lican party in Kentucky"
