party has at it's command, and he has
filled number of government positions
during the past 30 or 40 years.
It is related of Tanner, that when he
was being carried off the Bull Run field
on stretcher, his mangled feet hung
over the edge of the canvas and gave
him great torture. AS he was being car
ried past Pennsylvania regiment
young soldier stepped from the ranks
and laid the wounded feet within the
canvas stretcher. Years after the war,
when Tanner was collector of internal
revenue at Brooklyn, he was telling
Daniel Butterfield, a lawyer friend of
his, about losing his feet, and the Incl
dent of some one placing them in the
canvas fold of the stretcher as he was
being carried off the field. IF could
learn the name of the soldier who did
that act, l certainly would stand his
friend and try to help him if it ever came
into my power" the corporal added.
Il can tell you who the soldier was"
said Mr.. Butterfield. 1T was my
Brother Ben, for have heard him often
relate how he lifted the mangled feet of
a soldier who was being carried wound
ed from the Bull Run field into a
stretcher as he saw how the poor fellow
was SUFFERING
Corp. Tanner was greatly pleased to
learn the name Of his good angel, and
when he was made commissioner of pen
sions by President Harrison, the first
of his official acts was to annoint Rania-
min Butterfield to be chief of one of the
divisions in the pension bureau. Corp.
Tanner, as soon as the stump of the legs
healed sufficiently to permit the wearing
OF artificial feet, was appointed to
clerkship in the war department, and
boarded in the house next door to that
in which President Lincoln died.

considerable amount of good dollars
are Gen. GrOsveEOr, of Ohio; Champ
Clark, of Missouri; Charles Lands, OF
Indiana; Cushman, Of Washington;
Adam Bede, of Minnesota, and others
of the lower house, while Senator Dolli-
yer, of Iowa, has for number of years
been star attraction on the lecture
platform in these chautauqua circles.
Senator Tillman ALSO has appeared on
this forum, but his eloquence is little
radical and red hot for the literary Or
CARNATIONS.
Senator Dolliyer has had to decline
engagements of this sort this year on
account of pressure of other business.
His absence from the lecture platform
would be matter of great regret. Gen.
Grosvenor and Champ Clark gea:erally
travel together as an attraction in joint
debate. The entertainment they afford
is unique and greatly enjoyed. They are
the most radical types of partisans in
the house. Gen. Grosyenor is a stalWart
republican of the most aggressive kind
and his part of the entertainment is to
attack the democratic party and it's prin-
ciples.
Champ Clark is just as radical dem
ocrat as GrOsvenor is a republican, and
he completes the entertainment by at
lacking the republican party and its
principles. They go at it hammer and
tongs and do not spare each other or
each others party. 1t is a rare treat to
hear these champions manipulate the
English language in devising invective
and arguments on theiS favorite themes.
One would suppose that they were bitter
enemies, but after the election is over
they go off arm in arm, and, in reality,
are close, warm, personal friends.

The 4 End ] ] Or The: GRIP R
REACHED AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF
COMPLICATED TROUBLES.
Deafness. Kissing Spundsin Head, stomach
Disorder, Palpitation Of Heart and
Debility Overcome at Last. :. 3.

Deafness, Hissins Sounds in Head, Stomach
Disorder, Palpitation Of Heart and
Debility Overcome at Last.
Mr.. Newman certainly had q very
tough time with the grip, and it is no
wonder that he thinks that the remedy
that cured him can't be beat. His case
shows how profoundly grip poisons the
system and how obstinately it resists all
ordinary efforts to eradicate it. ,~
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New
mans for he had head, heart and sto1n-
ach troubles combined with great weak
ness. He recently said:
"The attack of grip which had eight
years ago left me in a very bad fix. I
became nearly deaf and my head ached
continually and was filled with Kissing
and roaring sounds. My heart fluttered
and had regular running-away spells.
My stomach was so sore that I could
hardly bear a touch on that part Of my
body. I had great deal Of pain in the
region of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged. My kidneys
ached SO at times that could hardly
stand"
"Didn't you give up and go to bed?''
he was asked.
"No, simply wouldn't. Ny head
and my back ached dreadfully, but
obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to
almost nothing.''
What did you do to get relief?"
First tried doctor, but he did mo
no good. Then I took all kinds Of ad-
vertised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until I began to use DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. AS soon as I got them I
knew that had at last hit the right
remedy for my case. The very first box
did more for me than anything else I
had ever taken. They gave mo relief
right away and in three months they
positively cured me. I think I was
scarcely ever in better health in my life
than am at present"
Mr.. William A. Newman is a we'll.
known Camden county farmer, living at
Sagrada, Missouri. His case was Sc
we're test for any remedy, but DIR. Viii
lams' Pink Pills met every requirement.
Other remedies merely drive the poison
Of the grip into hiding, but DR.. Williams
Pink Pills drive it out of the system.
They are sold by every druggist.

How to aid build up American trade
in Germany is the subject of an inter
csting and valuable communication to
our state department by Consul-Gen.
eral Guenther, of Frankfort, Germany
1t is stated as a general truth that
any article Of manufacture which finds
a ready sale in the United, States will
sell in Germany, provided it is placed
before the public in a proper way and
at 4 reasonable price American goods
are usually looked upon with favor
by the general public there, although
rival German manufacturers often try
to disparage them.

that effect in the last congress, and in
talking on the subject the other day, in
dictated that he would press the meas
ure in the future. In discussing the ad-
vantage of true craftsmanship in time
of war, Col. Hull said
''In estimating the military efficiency
of soldier in battle, if we consider ten
points as. a standard of perfection at
least S1a of these points are skill in rifle
and revolver shooting. In the Santiago
campaign the Spaniards were protected
by rifle pits with the ground in front of
them cleared in some instances for
quarters of mile over which our
At that time our regular was per-
haps the finest body of expert riflemen
in the world, due to the great>care and
amount of work that had been devoted
to target practice. The Spanish troops
had received little or no instruction in
target practice, and were poor shots.
Our troops marched over these open
places, captured their rifle pits and sus-
tanned comparatively few casualties. Had
our men been behind the enemy's rifle
pits we could have killed at least ten
times our number out of any troops at
tacking them, as they did the Span
iards. In the war in the far east, the
Japanese have attacked fortified places
and carried them because they have
been instructed in target practice while
the Russians up to the present have
given little attention to the Individual
instruction of their soldiers in this duty.
There is no way by which rifle can be
accurately shot without the individual
training of the man who aims it and
pulls the trigger"
