The readers of this PAPER will be ple-e
ased to learn that there is at least on
dreaded disease that science has been a.
BILE to cure in all of its stages, and that
is Catafrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being con-
stitutional disease requires a constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken inwardly, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving rhe pa.
tent strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have SO much
faith in it's curative powers that they
offer One Hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for list of testimo-
mails. Address F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo. Sold by all druggists. Take
Hall family pills for constipation.

J. A. WEIGH living just out of town
found one of the poisonous cabbage rep
tiles Is inches long while chopping up
some cabbage. The snake is Is inches

pares nicely to the description of those

Several reports have gone out from Law

credit the statements, but the above

won't they do next?' The question is
invariably answered when the Wallace
Show. comes the next time.
"There is nothing new under the
sun" may be true Of material things,but
not, and never was, true OF circus feats
and IDEAS The many acts and features
with the Wallace Show this year are
creating great attention, from the fact
that there are SO many new and truly
wonderful acts offered Among the
coterie the Neyaros, acrobats extraor-
binary; the startling Polos, Delno-
Garnelle Trio, aerial experts; the won
derful Molassos, Heras Family, and a
score of other premier acts, together
with hundreds of other arenic perfor-
mers.
In the trained animal department the
same conditions prevail. Long ago it
was thought that animals had reached
the limit of their education, but each
succeeding visit Of the Great Wallace
Show proves that speculation in this re-
spect is useless, and sure to be in error,
The climax of sensation in the hip.
Ipodrome department may have been
thought to have been reached, but
even here the visitor to the Wallace
Show this season will not see the same
old thing. The Wallace races are al
ways good, but this year the inherent
excitement will be materially increased
by the work of the high-jumping horses
which leap over hurdle seven feet higl
while carrying mount.
| The modern circus must improve
even though to do so may seem impos
sible. The great Wallace Show
will exhibit at Lawrenccburg on Mon
day Sept. %.

doctored with several emminent ply

A few words on The Ball Game,

1t seems that the ball game, the
acknowledged grandest Of the season,
which resulted in victory for the Law
rencebuIg boys, two weeks ago, has
caused quite an excitement, enough 80
to cause some one of their friends to
write that grand piece in their praise in
last weeks paper, and judging from the
fuss they made over it, that it was the
first time that their red capped, stringy
necks ever did any thing worthy Of note
And we admitit is quite an honor to
any team to beat our boys. The auth
or of the piece however forgot to write
up the game three weeks ago, which re-
suited in grand victory for our boys,
the so-called cotton sox) but it is far
from being thing to be passed by
unnoticed, for never we're we prouder of
our gallant boys than on that occasion,
when they marched out with the little
puny set of red caps, who seemed to
think it only a matter of time when
they would have the ball tossers of the
world conquered but on that occasion
it was they who got sick, and alas the
sickness unto death, our boys looked on
them with sympathetic eye and al.
lowed them to summons the DR." but
for some cause his physical aid failed ia
reach their case, and they yielded up the
ghost, and went home with the frowns
OF defeat on their brows. But back t(
game of all games they seem to think
The country babies got sorter scared
when they got in town and perhaps the.
were, but twas not the town that scar
ed them, but the pitiful looking set thel
had to play, and no doubt they wer
afraid they would accidently hurt tn
little things. 1t was truly said that on
of our boys was good sort of fello,
but was equa, to IL ordinary men O.
the ball field when it comes to hollow
ing, the fact is that any one Of them i
any respect is just equal to one dozen {
their red caps, but we hope the time
not far distant when they shall hav
gained strength enough to play Yves
Point or any other team without hayin
to pay their pas money for the assis
ance of any of the cotton sox.

BRYAN'S LAST STAND.

Williams Jennings Bryan came
from the st. Louis convention be-
reft Of the crown of leadership won
at Chicago in '96, and defended for
eight years. He left in the gloom
of defeat thrust outside the inner
councils Of democracy by the ma
ehinations of Dave Hill and the
machine. Still Bryan in defeat
was greater than Hill ever was or
can be in victory. A peanut shell
may stop dynamo.
Now that the tumult is still and
the cigar smoke has drifted away,
the one figure that stands tall and
clean cut above others in the demo-
cratic convention is that of w. J.
Bryan. Headed by the pack he
turned at bay like loudly stag,
and whenever he turned the circle
of assailants widened. When he
spoke the clamor ceased. At the
head Of a forlorn hope he checked
the march of an army with ban
ners and forced terms not of capt.
tulation but of armistice. His rout
was accomplished not in open war,
but by strategy that many will
call treachery. Brya MS sincerity,
intellectual capacity and marvel
Gus magnetism never shone more
clearly than when he turned to
: die in the last ditch at St. Louis.
Like Custer at the Big Horn, or
the Greeks at Thermopylae, he fac
ed the ringed forces of his foes
without a thought of surrender,
and made the bitter magnifcence
of his downfall overshadow it's
.pathos.
Bryan was the great man of the
convention. Parker was the fore.
ordained nominee and the gold
standard the foreordered policy
The delegates dominated by the
pledges made by their bosses voted
for Parker, but they listened when
Bryan spoke and cheered him til
the rafters rang. He could not stor
tie foreclosure of the chattel mort
gage, given by the state bosses to
Dave Hill, but he won two sepa
rate victories on tariff by his elo
quence and personality and forced
acompromise on currency against
overwhelming odds.
Bryan had the best of it. He LOST
nothing but leadership at st Louis
He came away greater man thar
he went. When he rendered back
his trust to his party he de6ed his
enemies to show unfaith or dereli
cation in his record, and none
questioned his sincerity or con
sistent faithfulness to the writer
platforms of democracy. Like ,
political King Arthur he cast an
unstained excaliburback into tn,
arena Of changing democratic
national policies and made ready
to depart for his Nebraska Avilon
