WHAT'S IN A NAME?
(Benson's Plaster Is Palms Mastsr.)

In the days Of wild cat money in the
West, the Amos shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years
The very name Of Oliver Ames q Son, was
asynonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is "good" plaster does
not describe it ii is tho best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes Of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
etc., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none Of the curative virtues
of Bensons. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Bensons
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a
comparative test with other plasters, Ben
sons has received ftty.tipd highest atoards.
Beware OF substitutes and cheap limitations.

OF five eggs, small teaspoonful of

MARK TWAIN STYLE

Topeka, Kan, Jan. Is. - G.. @.
Clemens, cousin of Mark Twain,
and one of the founders of the Popu-
list party in Kansas, publishes letter
in which he declares the party dead.
He says:
II stayed with the Peoples party
until l saw the last nail driven in its
coffin by the identical ones of conven-
ton folk who are determined to soil
their shoes by walking i'll the middl e
of the road and pretending to be a
picnic excursion instead of funeral
procession. The party is dead. The
people now seeking to persuade it to
sit up in it's coffin and disturb the
we'll intentioned people invited to its
funeral were its assassins.
cit should refuse to let them use it
for their own political ends, and, like
a decorous corpse, should allow the
obsequies to proceed. Some Populists
are Republicans, some are Democrats,
some are and always have been Pro-
hibitionists first and Populists after
ward, and some are socialists Let
each seek his own political home,
and+thus compel the party wreckers to
do likewise. AS for me this year, |
belong to no political party. l am
anti Pharisee, and shall line up to
make the Pharisees let go this State.
/ have no inclination at this time to
fool with "a political cadaver that was
picked up1two years ago.

ALL GERMANY.

Berlin, Jan. 16. German naval Off
GERS are eager for assignments to ac-
company Prince Henry to the United
States and many young officers are
bringing influence to bear to obtain
appointments for this duty. The list
of possible appointments is already
several times larger than the suite
which can be sent with Prince Henry.
This pressure to secure places may
cause the Princes suite to be enlarg-
ed. The lack of accommodations for
a number of persons on board the
Hohenzollern is the real reason why
Prince Henry does not sail on the i'm
perial yacht.
Washington, Jan 16.-Dr. Won Hol-
leben, the German ambassador to
Washington, received cablegram
from Berlin giving the dates of ar
rival and departure of Prince Henry
and list of the party who will &C
company him to the United States.
Hon. Won Tirspont is the German sec
rotary of State for the navy with his
aide de camp, Lieut.. Commander Won
Trotha will accompany the party
Emperor William will send his adju-
tant general, Won Plessen, Won Muel-
Ter, and Won Grumme, captain of the
navy and aide to the Emperor. Herr
Hintz, the chief clerk to the secre-
tary of State for the navy will be one
of the party.

mustn't mind these fellows-you know
they never hit any one" when he was
himself hit by bullet and seriously

AS the bearers came up to take him off
