The splendid record as a statesman
made by Senator Spooner and the en-
lnent services he has rendered both to
the country and his state, do not count
with those who are on his trail and
who seek his defeat. 1t is the duty of
all good Republicans to see that all
candidates for the assembly are fully
prepared to vote for Mr.. Spooner's
reelection. 1t is important that there
should be no room for doubt whatever.
1t is all very well for candidates to say,
81 am for Spooner. !" The question is:
''Will you be for Spooner when the
ballot is cast in the assembly pext
winter at Madison?'- Eau Claire

ONE OF DOUGLAS PISTOLS.
DerrinGer That Belonged to the Fa-
NOUS Illinois Statesman Has
Been Located.

A Derringer pistol, with an unusua.
history, has come into the possession
Of Col. Walter French, the file clerk
Of the house of representatives. He
found it not long ago in a pawnshop
and promptly observed that the in
scription on the handle of the weapon,
"S. A.. Douglas" was probably the
name Of Stephen A. Douglas, long .
prominent democratic figure in con-
gress in the ante-bellum times, says
the Washington Post.
Having purchased the weapon, he
made inquiries from Col. James Madi-
son Cults, Of this city, q kinsman by
marriage Of Mr.. Douglas, who recog-
nized the Derringer as one Of . pair
that Mr.. Douglas owned during the ex-
citing political events preceding Lin
coins inauguration. It seems that q
pair of these pistols, such a. menwere
accustomed to wear in those days,
one in each Of two small top pockets
IN the trousers, was presented to Mr..
Douglas by the superintendent of the
Harper's Ferry arsenal. These were
subsequently taken to Louisiana,
where 1t was discovered that the
springs were fashioned SO that, the
hammer would not explode the per-
cushion cap. This defect in mechanism
was corrected.
In just what manner the pistol was
secured from the possession Of Mr..
Douglas 10 not known. Col. Cults has
the mate to it,. which the great demo-
crat presented to him.

Consumption

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is NEGLECTED
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use Of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.

TO WE'D THE UGLIEST MEN.
Society OF Lovely American Girla
which Has Been Formed for
That Purpose.

Extremes meet in the tickle fem
mime fancy. The attractiveness Of
the Adonis for women Is not to be
compared with that of the man who
Is so fearfully and wonderfully ugly
ss to serve as a living confirmation
OF the truth OF the Darwinian theory
regarding the descent of man, says
the New York Herald.
A bevy Of lovely American, girls
have formed society, the object of
which il to search the land for the
ugliest men to be found outside a
mussum and, when found, to marry
them as soon as possible.
Ever since the time. when Mira
beau, the uglisst of all Frenchmen,
had his host Of female admirers
really hideous men have been wor-
shipped by women.
This extraordinary fondness of
women for extremely ugly mel is
seen when some especially villainous
looking criminal, accused of par
ticularly atrocious crime, Is exhib-
tied in the dock and Immediately be-
comes the idol Of all the women who
attend the trial. The more hideous
his appearance and the fouler his
naisdeeds. the more enthusiastic is
the worship Of the women.
HE is so delightfully."- ugly" said
. pretty girl, when, asked what par
ticular fascination q brutal criminal
possessed for her.
It il fact that in all ages and
countries this strange feminine ten
dency has been strikingly demon
strated.
No explanation that seems plausi-
BILE has ever been given.

ARTIFICIAL EyeIida.

The latest surgical triumph is the
grating OF new set of upper and
lower eyelids to the eyes Of a man
who lost his original set in fire,
says London Science Eiftings. The ac-
cident had left both eyeballs entirely
unprotected, and there was danger OF
the victim losing his sight entirely.
It was resolved to replace them by
grafting four new eyehds II possible,
by taking the skin from the hip of
the patient. Itwas necessary to pro.
coed slowly, but the experiment. ! was
successful from the start. The four
new eyelids perform their normal
functions naturally.

THE sAUERkRAUT PEDDLER.
A Character Common to the German
$ Section Of New York.

A Character Common to the German
Section of New York
The regular and popular visitor to
the German inns and taverns OF q
east side is the sauerkraut a He
brings his calling with him from the
old country and finds a more profitable
field in New York than in Berlin or
Hamburg. His equipment is quite GU
rious. He wears a blue or white apron
running from his neck nearly to the
ankles, and from his shoulders is sus-
pended a circular metal box which
goes half around his waist. 1t a
three large compartments, two OF
which are surrounded by hot water.
In one are well cooked frankfurter
sausages and in the other thoroughly
boiled sauerkraut. In the third COM
partment is potato salad. He carries in
his hand a basket in which are small
plates and steel forks. One sausage
and a generous spoonful of sauerkraut
and potato salad cost 5 cents. All three
articles are of good quality, well
cooked and seasoned. He finds his best
customers in the bowling alleys. where
the exertion demanda by the game
produces large appetites. Next to these
| are the taverns which do not supply
food with their drink. Last of all are
the halls and meeting rooms where
different societies assemble. His night
" stock consists OF fifty sausages, sew
en- pounds of sauerkraut and as much
more of salad. On bad evenings ne
takes only half as much stock as on
fair ones. Some Of the more fortunate
peddlers have arrangements with clubs
which pay them a very fair profit upon
their goods. Others are free lances
who visit every place where they think
they can effect a sale. gin
The metal boxes are very ingenious
and are made in Germany. The metal
is some variety Of pewter, and the
fitting Of the compartments and of the
entire affair to the body is very &C
curate. The covers are SO well hinged
and snug at the edges that when the
owner falls down he is not liable tx
spill any Of the contents. The con
trivance costs some So in Germany
and about $5%in New York. A few o.
the 1peddlers appeal to educated pal
ates and carry with them cervelat
book, reh. leberwurst and vienna
as well as frankfurters. These fame!
, sausages usually bring 10 cents instea'
of the regulation 5.
The forks are washed after the Gus
toner has finished his little meal, ant
from repeated cleansing and use ar
as bright as silver. The plates, on tn
other hand, are SO banged and bruises
: that they might be easily mistaken TO
crackle wear.-New York Post

a GOOD PRESCRIPTION.
Laughter AZ q Stomach Cure and sN
Aid to Health.

Laughter as q Cure and ars
Aid to Health.
Worry is but one of the many forms
Df fear, SO that worry tends to the
production of indigestion. Indigestion
tends to put the body Of the subject in
a condition that favors worry. There
II thus established a vicious circle
which tends to perpetuate itself, each
element augmenting the other. i
It is necessary to secure a cheerful,
wholesome atmosphere for the dys-
peptic. He should eat his meals at a
table where there is good fellowship
and where funny stories are told. He
should himself make a great effort to
contribute his share of this at the table,
even if it.be necessary, as it was in one
case under my care, for him to solemn
ly and seriously collect funny para-
graphs from the press, and at first in
terject them systematically during lulls
in the conversation at the table. The
| very efforts and determination Of the
man to correct his w silent habits at
table, to correct his feelings Of dis
| couragement and worry, were in them
selves a promise of success. The eff
fort made was adequate to the obsta-
cles to be overcome. He succeeded, and
the spectacle of that man trying to
be funny at table when he felt thor
oughly discouraged and blue is n we
shall never forget.
Laughing is in itself also a useful
exercise from the standpoint of diges-
ton. It stirs up all the abdominal
organs, it increases the circulation Of
the blood, it increases peristalsis, it in.
creases the secretion of gastric juices
Five minutes deliberate laughing after
each meal would be an excellent pre-.
scription for some people.-Family Doc

"It was all on account Of a little
dainty handkerchief" he said, "The
first time that l saw the girl and be-
fore we had been introduced she waved
that bit Of lace at me, and l was car
ried away. 1t was a fall in love and
then matrimony. But, alas, that deli
cate handkerchief was no index to the
girls nature, and l found myself
wrecked on the sea Of matrimony."
