MIDSUMMER COMFORT.
Simple Little Remedy for the July
Pantry Pest.

The troublesome little red ants that
appear as II by magic about midsum-
mer, and take complete control Of the
pantry at the time when summer heat
makes other trials hard to endure, may
now be routed by a very simple remedy.
A practical housewife made the discov-
cry by accident, and it has been found
satisfactory in every instance in which
It has since been tried. Simply mix
five cents worth OF tartar emetic in an
2qual amount Of white sugar, make 1t
quite moist with cold water. put IL into
small dishes and set it on the shelves
where the ants art troublesome. The
ants will disappear quite as mysteriously
as they came, and there viii be no dead
ones lying around on shelves and floor.
DO not throw the mixture away, but save
II for further attacks, as II can easily
be moistened and used again when we
go to the pantry some warm, moist
morning and find sugar bowl, cookies and
all sorts of sweets and cereals, swarm
ing with the troublesome summer pests.

Republican Harmony in Nevada.

The following from the Carson News
is a sample of the beautiful spirit of
harmony which pervades the ranks of
the Republican politicians and press of
Nevada:
1.-THE Reno Gazette takes occasion to
suggest a Republican policy for the
News, and doesn't like its system. The
Gazette is such a recent convert to the
grand doctrines of Republicanism that
it may possibly be an impartial judge.
While the Gazette was supplying ma
terial and comfort to the fusionists
during the last campaign, the News
was doing it's best for the straight Re-
publican ticket; and so it is suggested
that before the Gazette attempts 10
change the policy or course of Repub-
lican newspapers, it wait until it has
itself been in the party long enough to
get acquainted-say a year at least"

Something That Will Do You Good.

We know of no wav in which we can
be of more service to our readers than
to tell them of something that will be
of real good to them. For this reason

and that alarming complaint, Group.
We refer to Chamberlain's Cough Rem

results in our family so long that it
has become a household necessity. By
it's prompt use we haven't any doubt
but that 1t has time and again pre-

who have small children, always keep

Making Money In Prison.

A remarkable example of cunning has
been unearthed in one Of u large
prisons. A convict had perfected a die
and was making silver dollars, and
distributing them through accomplices
on the outside. Naturally the officials
were very much surprised at the dis
covery, but no more so than the per-
son who received a counterfeit article
in place of the genuine. 1t is there
fore very important when you ask for
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to see that
the Private Die Stamp over the neck
is unbroken, if o value your health.
For fifty years the Bitters has been
recognized as the best health maker
in existence, and if you are a sufferer
from Indigestion, dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, fiatulency or nervousness, 1T is
because you have never tried it. Try
it once.

Des Moine, la, January 29.-Gov. A. c. Cummings delivered an address to a joint session of the Legislature this afternoon upon William Mckinley in honor of the anniversary of the birth of the late President. Governor Cummings said, in part
 William Mckinley believed and acted upon the belief that to be great, helpful and powerall, a man must know something better than any one else knows it, and the world was al ways on the lookout for such man.
 He chose for his especial study one of the most difficult as well as one of the most eontroverted subjects of his time, and he mastered it ab- solutely, so that before many years had passed over his Congressional career William Mckinley knew more about the productive capacity of the United States, more about the condi- tions under which labor earned it's wage and capitalists returns, more about the possibilities of our magnifi- cent future, than any other man in America.

New York. January 29.-Captain Rich mond Pearson Hobson was given an en- thusiastic reception last night when he lectured before the United Daughters of 1872 upon the needs of greater navy.
 Captain Hobson blamed Congress for it's indifference to the needs of a larger navy He said that $25, 100000 ought to be appropriated every year to the navy and that this year twice that sum should be given. He gave four reasons why there should be a larger navy as fol- lows:
 "First-We have gigantic interests that require a big navy.
 ''Second-We have duties which we cannot escape which requires a larger navy.
 "Third-We require greater navy be- cause we can afford 1t.
 .'Fourth-Our navy is weaker than that of other powers of the same interna- tional importance"
