 Russian Dynasties.
 Blood is not a strange sight to Rus sian rulers or their subjects. There have been four dynasties In that land of war riors and blood-letters, each succeeding one contributing it's full share of tragic history. s.sr
 The dynasty of Rurik began in s62 and ended In 159S. giving CT soveregns to Rus sia. They were not really Kings of Rus sia. but rulers of a part of Russia, over- lords of other princes and held their courts first at Novogorod,, then at Mos COW, at Vladimir, and at Moscow again, 13S9-15S4 The seventh of this line, Vlad- imir I (the Great, introduced Christian ity; the ninth, Jarosov, was their great legislator; Ivan Cor John III Che GreaD, unified the kingdom, and was the first to assume the title of Czar This Is called the Great Dynasty, and continued 736 years.

 The third dynasty was the mighty Ro- manoff, so often mistaken by newspaper writers for the present ruling dynasty of Russia. The Romannffs gave eleven sovereigns and ruleu from 16lS to 1l62 In 1913 Michael III (Romnnoff) put an end to the long and constant troubles be- tween Poland and Sweden, and from him dates the Romanoff dynasty proper, al- though the five preceding Emperors really founded this great dynasty.

Catherine II cut off all Romanoff blood by her notorious profigacies during the life of Peter III, for 1t was on account of her infatuation for Gregory Orlosf, of fcer of the palace guard, and her desire to rule without restraint or interruption, that she ordered the assassination of her husband, Peter III, in 1762. Cathernes s son. who became Paul I in 1796, was the son of Gregory Orloff, and as Paul mar ried Mary of Wurtemhurg (German), and she was the mother of his sen, Alexander I. the Romanoff blood was extingushed forever in the imperial line.

 What we say about Liquozone Is true. What we claim 1t can do has, again and again, been done. And in any disease which we claim that Liquozone will help, we assume the whole risk on two months FISK with every patient who asks it.
 Before we bought the rights to Liqnozone, it had been tested for years in thousands of the most diff cult cases obtainable. We found that diseases which had resisted medi- cine for years yielded at once to it.. Sickness which had been pronounced incurable was cured.
 The value of the product was placed beyond possible question, before we staked our fortunes and regulations on it. It was amply proved that, in germ troubles, Liquozone did what medicine could not do
 Then We gave the product away gave millions of bottles, one to each of millions of sick ones.
 We have published no testimonials; no evidence of cures. We have never asked a soul to buy it.
 Our method has been to buy the first bottle ourselves; to let the sick try it without the cost of penny; to let the product itselr prove it's power.
 Most of you know the result. There is no neighborhood-no hamlet so re- mote-but knows some wonders which Liquozone has wrought.
 And Liquozone is probably doing more to cure sickness, and to pre- vent it, than all drugs, all medicines combined.
 How petty is that self-interest which would have you go back to the old methods-to the days before Liquozone! Back to the time when the very cause of disease was. unknown, be given internally. Medicine isaE

Germ Diseases

These are the known germ diseases. Nearly all forms of all these diseases have been traced to germs, or to the poisons which germs create
 These are the diseases to which medi- cine does not apply, for drugs cannot kill inside germs. All that medicine can do is to act as a tonic, aiding Nature to overcome the germs. But those results are indirect and uncertain. The sick can not afford to rely on them. Anu no one needs to now.
 Liquozone alone can destroy the cause of these troubles. It goes wherever the blood goes, so no germ can escape 1t. The results are almost inc itable. We have seen them so often m c--ery disease in this list tat we have come to rely on them.

But so great good could not be done to humanity without harming the interests of few. The consump- tion of medicine has immensely de- creased. The popularity of the few physicians who cling solely to drugs has diminished. And in numberless homes where Liquozone Is in daily use. sickness has been almost ban ished.
 These facts have injured some in terests. And few of the injured at tack what they blame for the injury They denounce that which has done the good.
 The usual method is to insinuate that Iiouozone itself is medicine; that. despite our claims, it is a com pound of acids and drugs.
 Such statements are oft repeated; and we cannot doubt that some are lead to believe them.

The virtues of Liquozone are de rived solely from gas, by process re- oniring immense apparatus and from s to 14 days time. The gas is made, in large part, from the pest oxygen producers. .

We were in attendance alta publ,

We were in attendance alta public
gathering one day last week where
the vice that prevailed caused US to
blush for Amenca's young man
hood. We are not mentioning all of
the rottenness that transpired, but
there was one act that was the
most revolving, disgusting, nause-
ating thug we ever witnessed. A
young man who is not fit to breathe
the pure air of this world because
of the contamination with which he
burdens it, took on quantity of
the "effervescent amber liquid" and
proceeded to meander around
through the crowd dropping vile
epithets from putrid mouth. The
climax of his despicable baseness
occurred when he turned to a
young lady and with that foul
tongue OF his, insulted her with an
obscene remark. Like others, we
simply looked on. The wonder of
it is that no one struck him. Gal
lantry is surely lacking when such
things are permitted. The beast
would be less harmless if he were
under the ground. The space he
occupies in this world is worse
brute creation is as far above him,
as the staIs are above us and his
parents would have done more
good for humanity if they had
spent the time they took to raise
him, in raising hogs for the mar
ket. The people would have appre-
ciated their work more, too We
sincerely hope we may never meet
such type of humanity again.

Queen Esther.

was especially good, something
rarely seen in town the size of

entire play showed that the COM

by Anna Gruby, are all artists of
of the first magnitude, and their
acting drew forth the hearty ap.
plause of the audience.
The only drawback to the com
plete success of the play was the
small audience that went to hear
them. This may be accounted for
by several circumstances. A great
many of our people were out of
town; an "East Lynne" chow
week previous that buncoed large
number out of their hard earnings,
giving almost nothing in return:
great many had just returned from
the chautauqua and had not got
rested; the early evening threaten
ed rain; and last but not least, the
chow was not thoroughly adver-
tlsed. The people here knew moth
ing of the kind of performance
they were to receive.
All we can say now ia that those
who failed to attend missed some-
thing fine in the way of an even
ing's entertainment, aud the play
ers went away with leaner pocket
books than when they came.
We trust that our good friends in
Extra will not think the Lewis peo-
pie ungrateful, for if they should
ever repeat Queen Esther" here
again, we can almost secure them a
crowded house, barring physical
imposslbilities.
The troupe is composed of ladies
and gentlemen, who are among the
best people of their town. Their
conduct while here was such as to
win the good opinion of all. Sat

that popular resort were driven to
