In cases where bronchitis has become
chronic from want OF proper treatment In
the earlier stages, there is nothing so good
as DR.. August koenig's Hamburg Breast
Tea, in conjunction with which is strongly
advised the use of st. Jacobs Oil as an out
ward application, along the front. of the
throat, from close up under the chin to well
down to the top of the chest; the one rem
edy assists the other, and, as intended, they
work in complete unison. The wonderful
penetrating power of st. Jacobs Oil en-
ables it to reach the adhesion of foreign
matter which lines the bronchial tubes and
which makes breathing more and more dit
6cult. As these adhesions become intamed
and enlarged, st. Jacobs Oil causes such ad-
| hesions to break away, making expectora-
| ton easier and more free. DIR. August
Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly
and very hot, soothes and heals the parts,
is comforting and quoting, stops the cough
| and relieves the breathing. This manner
| of treatment land there is no other two
| cessfully) reaches the difficulty from the
| outside and the inside at the same time.
| St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the ad-
hesion, and assists DR.. August Koenig's
| Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing them; then
both remedies act in unison in healing and
curing. The above remarks apply with equal
force in cases of asthma, Group, whooping
cough, enlarged ~tonsils, and all bronchial
affections. Every family should have st,

der that they may be promptly used in the
first stages. Often the maladies develope
with wonderful rapidity, and complications
take place with equal s~uddenness.

Genesis of the side Saddle.

Some agile brain centuries ago de-
vised the side saddle for a lame prin-
cess who could not ride astride as other
women did in those nharmingfday In
cidentally, this shows that the modern
practice among women of sitting on
both sides of the horse is not modern
ut all. First came the additional POM
mel, and then, only 60 or 70 years ago,
the third pommel. An Fnglishman who
had bet that he could ride a steeple-
chase on a ride saddle found himself
compelled, fc- safety, to add another
pommel. Many English women of this
day use two saddles, and.sit alternate.
ly on the right and left sides of the
horse-Chicago Chronicle.

THE AMERICAN FARMER.
He IL Gaining in Intelligence, Mas
ter of the Soil and Fitness
for Political Power.

The American farmer is the great
est man in the world. A Combine"
with a capital of s., 900, O00, 900 is a
great thing because it is a combines;
but 81, 900, O00, 900 relatively to the cap
ttal of money, brain and Drawn invest
ed in the agricultural industry in this
country is not at all a great thing, says
Harper's Weekly. Figures simply
stagger and fall down when they at
tempt to represent the real founda-
ton wealth of America, which is agri-
cultural. We are all, when we attempt
to contemplate that wealth, very much
in the position of the Irishman who
had to look several times in order to
see the tall building-taking it little
by Little. One section of the view is
the information, entirely accurate,
that the farmers of Minnesota and the
Dakotas have received $500, 900, 900 for
their products this year. Another is
that the corn crop of the state of Kan
sas this year will be 260, 000, 900 BUSH
els. Still another, that 81 1000, 900, as
the lowest estimate, fell in one soak
ing rain in the single territory of Ok
lahoma the other day-the rain having
checked the growing menace of a fort
nights dry spell. In a single year the
mich COW of the United States yield
a product equal in value to one-half
of the capital of the steel trust-and
there are more COWS at the beginning
of the new year than there were be-
fore. Behind the agriculture is the
agriculturist, and the American far
mer is gaining in intelligence, in mas
terry of his soil and in fitness for po-
litical power quite as RAPIDLY as his
products are increasing in magnitude.
He may be merely waiting to be or.
ganized into a vast and irresistible
public force. Or, again, he may be
slowly and sadly reconciling himself
to the knowledge that he is a passive
force only-like his own fertile acres,
which, by intelligent cultivation and
exploitation, are made to yield rich
crops for those who know how to get
them. 4.

Feed for working Horses.

1t is quite essential to bear in mind
the fact that a horse differs very
much from a GOV or steer in its diges.
tive capacity when planning the feed
A horse needs a condensed ration; a
COW OF OK can handle one considera.
bly, more bulky. This is due to the
fact that the horse has one stomach
to handle all its feed while the OK
has three stomachs that assist in pre-.
pairing the food before it reaches the
fourth or true stomach. A horse at
heavy work is adapted to a good,
heavy, grain ration, with hay.--Epit

G. 0. P. IN SEVENTH
Republicans Open a Lively Cam
paign In That Ward.
THREE .M.c." CANDIDATES THERE
Conxressnlnn Tavney's Address the
Principal Feature of n Rous-
ing Meeting.

The Seventh Ward Republican club last
night met. the brisk pace set by the third
and fourth ward clubs and lnaugurated
the campaign In that section OF the city
with program replete with staneh re-
publican sentiment and patriotic doctrine
The occasion was notable from the TACT
that it was the first gathering at which
the three local congressional candidates
have appeared on the same platform.
Messrs, Fletcher, Hay and Peterson were
each given turn at the bat, and each
presumably sounded the key note of his
campaign. -..-+
Mr.. Hay took the trust issue for text,
and in "a spirited talk emphasized the
necessity of wise and aggressive legisla-
ton by the republican party along this
line.
Mr. Fletcher reminded his hearers Of
the cordial friendships of the years past
and told them what he had done for the
people of the district>in the way of secur-
ing important legislation, redounding to
their credit and material interests.
Mr.. Peterson was more at home, per
haps, than the others, being right among
his own neighbors as we'll as legislative
constituents. He warmed UP over the
benefits of the protective policy and de-
clared his solemn belief in the ability Of
the common people to solve political
problems. =,
Governor Van SAINT was unable to be
present, owing to the necessity of being
out of the city, hut sent a telegram Of
good cheer Governor La Toilette Of Wis
consin sent aletter of regret, explaining
that but for. a sudden Illness he would
have been on hand.
Congressman Tawney made the chief
speech of the evening. He confined him
self largely to defense of the attitude
and action of the so-called insurgents
| in congress in the matter of Cuban legis-
lation. He declared that on the testimony
of the very men who were before the
committee on ways and means asking
tariff concessions for Cuba, it was proved
that the promised benefits would inure al
most wholly to- the American sugar trust
and to Spanish non president capitalists.
| Senator Hiram F. Stevens of st. Paul
made the other set address of the evening
He discussed the attitude of the demo.
cratic party toward the army in the Phil
ippines. RayLW., Jones, on invitation O.
the chairman, spoke briefly, emphasizing
the necessity of harmony and organiza
| ton.
