for its blood cleansing and specific cura-
tive effects upon the diseased mucous
membranes. 1t will cure a very large
per cent. of all cases, even after they
have reached the Lucrative, or chronic
stage, and no matter OF hou many Years
standing they may be. 1t is equally
eficacious in affections of the mucous
lining OF the larynx, bronchia and res
piratory organs in general, thus curing
bronchitis, laryngitis and other affec-
tons giving rise TO obstinate, hang-on-
coughs. 1t is not 60 good in acute
coughs following sudden colds, as in
the lingering, chronic coughs. Nor
must the "Golden Medical Discovery
be expected to work miracles. IL will
not cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that, but
for all obstinate hang-on-coughs due TO
laryngial or bronchial irritation and
kindred affections, OF the throat which,
If neglected or badly treated, are likely
to lead up to consumption, the "Dis-
coVery" can be relied upon to produce
the best curative results.
The "Golden Medical Discovery is,
from its tonic and specific curative con-
troll over mucous surfaces, especially
eficacious in curing indigestion, dys-
pepsia, weak stomach and cLiver Com
plant" or biiousness. Even liberation
OF the stomach and bowels has in thou
sands OF cases been cured by it; also
obstinate chronic diarrhea.
In addition To all the foregoing, not
the least valuable of the marvelously
efiicacious properties possessed by the
discovery" is the unequaled regulat-
ing and strengthening effect exerted by
it over the hearts action. 1t has made
some wonderful cures OF very pro-
bounced valvular and other affections
OF that organ.
The reason why vGolden Medical
Discovery" cures so wide a range of dis
eases is made plain in a booklet sent
free on request mailed TO DIR. R. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. II interested,
send for it.
The powerful Alternative or blood pur-
Tying properties possessed by the "Dis-
ecovery" will naturally suggest its use
for the cure Of blotches, pimples, erup-
tons; as eczema, salt-rheum, and other
skin affections in all of which it has
made remarkable cures; also in scrofu-
lous sores and old, open ulcers, or eat
ing sores. To heal the latter, use DR..

THEATRICAL NOTES
Faust Tonight.


Porter j. White will present hia
version of Faust" at The kentucky
tonight. The entire production is
literally staged by Mr.. White with
special scenery, properties, electrical
apparatus, etc, for each act. The
story of Faust is the embodiment
of a most remarkable system OF be-
lief which found its elimination in
the Middle Ages. What the effect of
such a production. hampered though
Il were by the insufficient stage effects
of those DAYS, must have had on an
audience which faithfully believed In
witchcraft and actual demoniac pos
session and compacts with the evil
one, we are utterly unable to con-
ceive. With tribunals all over Eng
land and Germany, nay even America,
testifying to his evil compacts and
combinations with various unfortu-
nate members OF society. and with
Luther throwing an ink-bottle at his
head. his Satanic Majesty might think
himself a more active factor In hui
man affairs than he Is today. We
flatter ourselves that we have gotten
beyond all that. but human nature
does not change. Faust Is at once
always old and always new. Mans
soul still chafes within the iron re-
straints in which It is bound; still
seeks, as then by supernatural infiu-
ence, so now by means OF theosophy,
spirituallsm. and what not, TO escape
from the narrow field OF human
knowledge and endeayor. 70 attain at
bound the innermost kernel OF
things. This type has always exist
ed, whether under the name of Faust,
Prometheus. Titon. or whatever II
may have been called; and so in this
sense Faust may still be considered
true for us, and always will remain
true.

up in the Dakotas and in the
wheat districts they adopted
at first a ruinous policy. This was to
raise wheat one year and then let the
land lie tn the fall of the next year.
The real necessity was for a legumin-
Gus plant which would stand the Sc
we're northern climate, so that il
might not be necessary to let the land
lie idle a year. If 1t could be sown
in clover roots of course 1t would be
utilized when plowed under and yet
q profitable hay crop could be secured
at the same time. We secured the
extreme north until at last we found
a clover of Tomsk, in Siberia, which
fulflls all necessary conditions. That
seed has been put in the hands Of all
our experimenters and the work Oh

practically accomplished.

Minot, N. D., Aug. 30-A few days
ago one Donald McBane complained
to the city police that he had been
robbed of a considerable sum of mon
ey. He simply stated that he had
fallen in with two men who induced
him to, accompany them to shack
near the Great Northern depot and
that they had touched him for his
roll. Il, RID. ...? s-
Chief Hagen took the matter in
hand and finally discovered that the
fellow was right in a portion of his
story, but that the money had been
taken from him in a stud poker game
instead of in the ordinary manner of
knocking him on the head and lift
ing the cash.
The two men were located and the
chief succeeded in getting the mon
ey, which he turned over to McBane
with little good advice, which after
his experience the man will probably
heed. MeBane says Chief Hagen is
the best police officer on earth and he
wants the people to know that his
roll of $1O1.50 was returned to him
intact when he figured that it was
gone forever.
