Caution!

This is not gentle word but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase for IS cents the only remedy
universally known and remedy that
has had the largest sale of any medi-
cine in the world since 1868 for the
cure and treatment of consumption
and throat and lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful we called
your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists
and others that are cheap and good
for light colds perhaps, but for Sc
we're coughs, bronchitis, croup-and
especially for consumption where
there is difficult expectoration and
coughing during the nights and morn
ings, there is nothing like German
Syrup. Sold by all druggists in the
civilized world.

COUNTERFEIT BIRD MUMMIES.
The Egyptians Seemed to Think They
Could Fool Their Gods with
Bogus Productions.

More than 1000 mummles or birds
sent from different parts of Egypt
by Prof. Maspero have been opened
at the Lyons museum. Some OF these
were in such a perfect state of pres
ervation that they were recognized
by simple examination OF the feath-
ers. but most of them were deter
mined after the skeleton, says the
Scientific American.
The mumies form two classes or
distinct appearance. The first IN
cludes the ibis and the second the
birds of prey. The birds OF prey are
mummifed either singly or in masses
of 20 to 80 or even 40 of all species.
AS to the mummies of the ibis, these
were always prepared with single
bird, wrapped in cloth bands or pre-
served in rough vases of red terra
Gotta.
In the former case the mummy was
covered with a network of threads,
which were interlaced SO as to form
different ornaments. In other cases
the ibis was wrapped in simple bands,
without ornamentation, but the head,
instead of being placed in its nat
ural position, is bent down upon the
breastbone and the long curved beak
reaches to the feet.
Some of the mummies which have
externally the form of an ibis, and
especially those with thread orna-
ments and two colors of cloth, light
and dark brown, are counterfeits, and
the interior is filled with all kinds
of material, rags, pieces of wood or
feathers, with two or three pieces OF
brick to make up the weight.

HOG THAT LIKED THE SEA.
Went Aboard Ship When a Baby and
Made Nine Long Trips ON
the Briny Deep.

An immense hog, weighing $50
pounds, that had spent his entire life
on the deck of ship at sea and which
made nine long voyages, was slaugh-
tered on the big three-masted
schooner Isabella Gill, Capt. Collision,
in the port of Baltimore discharging
lumber from Savannah.
While the vessel was at Sabine Pass,
Tex, last January man came aboard
and offered a sucking pig no bigger
than a cat in exchange for small lot
of peas that had been laid on deck.
The trade was made. The pig began
to thrive on the waste food the stew
ard gave him and soon became an able
seaman. He outgrew the chicken coop
in which he lived, and made his bunk
under the forecastle head.
He was known as Dennis, and always
responded to his name when Capt. Col
lison called him. He enjoyed eating
ice cream from spoon. Dennis made
trips from Sabine Pass to Cuba, to
New York, to Martinique, in the West
Indies; to Turks island, to Philadel-
phia, to Savannah, to Baltimore, to
Savannah, to Fernandina and back to
Baltimore.
He was getting too big to get into
his quarters, says the Baltimore Amer
lean, and for that reason was killed.
He weighed 800 after being slaugh-
tered and cleaned and was hung to the
main ratlines to cool. His length was
seven feet.

relative to the election:
1--WE are encouraged by the large
Democratic gains in Cuyahoga county,
in spite of the fact that large vote was
polled and great interest aroused on the
part of the republicans. The majority
OF the county ticl e: was elected and the
cases where We loet, it was due wholly
to personal preiere noes ard involved no
political principle.
But probably the m"st encouraging
sign, is the fact that where Mr.. Bigelow
made his campaign outside Of Hamilton
county, satisfs cory gains were almost
universal The time was too short to
expose the viciousnees Of the municipal
code and the Cincinnati franchise grab.
The result in Hamilton county was due
to dishonest election methods rather

Dissatisfaction Everywhere.

There is dissatisfaction everywhere on
account of the new ballot law and mum.
erous contest cases have been filed.
Thousands of woes were thrown out be-
cause cross mark appeared in the
square opposite the words, "No Nomina-
tion." The best lawyes in the state say
that this does not invalIdate the ballot,
though the attorney general has decid-
ed otherwise. We hope this will be
speedily tested and if such ballote are
valid some Of the candidates in this
county who are defeated ON the face of
the returns will be seated.
Let us have a recount.
A FEW years ago the great howl of the
&. p. was THAT every man regardless
of color should have the right to vote
and have his vote properly counted''
but here in enlightened Kansas we have
a vicious ballot law saddled on to US
by the g. o. p. that dlsfranch,ses over Sc

CIRCLE VOTING IS MACHINE VOTING.

The man who doesn't care enough
about his government to scan his ballot
and see for whom he is voting is more
of machine partisan than anything
else. Republican papers and speakers
are urging their followers to pay no
heed to the different candidates upon
the ticket but to vote blindly and swal-
low them without even gIancing down
the line.
1t would be like demanding an item.
lied bill in order to check error and
then paying the total without reading
the items. No good business man
would do such thing and no intelli.
gent citizen will vote for score of men
without knowing who and what they
are as far as his ticket can reveal that
information.
Democrats and,popuilsts care enough
for politics and good government to
scrutinize every name on the ballot.
They have sufficient respect for their
candidates to show approval or disap
prevail by noting each name and voting
for or against each candidate.
Republicans may follow the machine
blindly and include the whole bunch in
the circle, but democrats and popuIists
will make no such egregious blunder.
They Will look at each and every name
On the ticket and honor each candidate
with personal notice. They will mark
cross after each name as they read it
and approve. If man wants to vote
the straight ticket he can do 80 and yet
show enough interest to mark each
name. In fact to be sure be does vote
straight he must examine each name
