TOWN TALK.
The Public Aroused
During the Past
Week,
Crowds of People called at A.
iF. Streitz's Drag Store to
Get Free Samples o;
Ifl. HOBBS SPAEAGUS
SIDNEY PEES.
Sundreds now Testing the
Remedy in this Vicinity.
IVOTV FOR RESULTS.
An Intense interest was created in this
vicinity by the announcement in last
Friday's issue that a free package of Dr.
Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills would be
given away to anv person who would
call and ask for "it at A. F. Streitz's
Drug Srore.
. This interest was Ehown by the unex
pectedly numerous calls made at the
above store. Many of the callers, who
suffer from kidney complaints, ex
pressed their astonishment at the offer
to make no charge for the samples.
Heretofore the practice of medicine pro
prietors is to require pay in advanceind
let the afflicted take the chance of cure.
Tbe proprietors of Dr. flobbs Spara
gus Kidney Pills are reversing this prac
tice, preferring to exercise the golden
rule of "doing to others as they would be
done by,"
They believe, because it has been
demonstrated in every Instance, that if
those afflicted with kidney troubles once
try these pills, they will be convinced of
their great merit, and get well by their
use.
For this reason they made arrange
ments with A. F. Streitz to freely dis
tribute as many sample boxes as should
be-called for, during the last seven days.
Everyone who asked for a box was given
it free of charge.
Many will be curious to know what
are the results of the test of thee pi'te
nowgoingonin this neighborhood. It
is a little too soon to look for results,
probably another week will make them
known. If those getting the samples
have faithfully followed the directions,
they will be encouraged to persevere in
their use.
It is gratifying to learn that wherever
similar distributions have taken place,
there has followed a large sale of the
remedy, and many letters of rratitude
have been written by those who have re
gained lot health.
Every person who knows or suspects
that his kidneys or urinary passages are
affected; any person who has any of the
following symptoms should make a test
of these pills without delay, viz: Pains
in the back or sides. Headache, Nervous
ness, Frequent Thirst, Shortness of
Breath, Puffiness of the Eyelids. Swell
ing of the Feet and Ankles, Dark Color
ed or Scanty Urine, with albuminous or
other deposits in the urine, or too fre
quent urination.
For the benpfit of interested persons,
living out of town, who for any reasonp,
failed to get a sample, Dr. Hobbs auth
orizes to say if you will cut out the cou
pon below and mail it to the Hobbs
Remedy Co.. Chicago, lit., with your
name and address, a sample box of these
pills will be sent you by mail, postpaid,
and free of expense.

Washington", Oct. 14. The Union

railways, will, it is expected, win their
case against the srate of Nebraska, the
opinion in which will be handed down
on Monday by the supreme court. Jus
tice Brewer, two years ago, decided an
injunction against the state enforcing
the Nebraska law of 1S93, the legality
of the provisions of which was called
into question by those railroads, and it
is the opinion the supreme court wHL be
In accordance with this injunction.
The law of 193 established a schedule
of maximum freight charges which was
considered by the railroads doing- "busi
ness in the state as illegal, being too low
to allow hauling on a living basis. It
was asserted also that the law was
unconstitutional. The case was pend
ing more than four- years in the
state courts, the decision each time be
ing in favor of the raflroad companies.
Upon the granting of the injunction by
Justice Brewer, the state carried its case
to tlie supreme court of the United
States, but at no time has there been
any hope for a final decision favorable
to the state.

DISMISSING A WEAKLING.
.The Poor Fool Coold 3iot See That Ee
Had Her Won.
Reginald Hanscomb stopped in the
hall and nervously fumbled at the rim
of his hat. meanwhile gazing into Po-cahontas-Poindexter's
eyes.with a fond
ness that the beautiful girl' could not
mistake.
He. opened his lips as if about to
speak, but the words that he sought to
utter would not come, and the fair
maiden gave a low, sweet sigh that
was calculated to. fill his heart with
blowholes.
Tet he stood there, and she stood hi
front of him, looking and longing and
wondering why he hesitated.
Once she was almost tempted to take
him back into the parlor and tell him
that it was all right; that she knew
how he felt about it, and that she
would just take it for granted without
the usual formality. But her maiden
modesty rose in rebellion, and she said
to herself:
' 'No. If he is too timid, too cowardly,
to say the words, it will perhaps be bet
ter for us both if we take diverging
ways."
Then, speaking aloud, she said:
"Well, good night, Mr. Hanscomb,
if you must be going. "
"Well, gcod night," he said. "I
guess I must be going. "
"Well, good night, " she said again,
holding the door open for him.
" WelL good night, " he said, passing
out through the vestibule.
She shut the door with a bang and
sat down upon the stairway and buried
her face in her hands and sobbed.
But naif a minute later she heard
him returning. Her heart gave a glad
leap, and she rushed to tho door to ad
mit him.
He stood locking down into her
sweet, expectant face for a moment aft
er the door had swung back, and thu"1,
clearing his throat, ho said:
"Some pesky kid punctured my tire
while I was inside. I wonder if I could
borrow your mending outfit for about
two minutes?"
"No," sle replied. "My repairing
outfit is up in the attic, and I can't find
it tonight. Walk home. It'll do you

Then she slammed tho door in his
face, and he tried to think poor fool
as he wended his way homeward, what
he had done to offend her. Cleveland

LITTLE MONEY "IN MEAT.
How Restaurant Proprietors S offer From
the Hake Up of 3Iena Cards.
"If all restaurant proprietors, " said
one of them, who has been well known
as the ownT of a Broadway eating
place for the last ten years, "could on
ly induce their customers to eat less
meat they not only would make more
money, but they would give better sat
isfaction all round. In the first place,
there is little or no money for the res
taurant keeper in selling boiled or roast
meats. It costs too much to handle them
and requires too much time to prepare
them and serve them as they should be
to leave any profit for the man who
does it.
"And in the second place the patrons
order meats when they would much
prefer someshing else. That is the fault
of the proprietor. He arranges his menu
wrong. The small steaks, the chops and
the cutlets and all the other meats 'to
order' are placed too conspicuously on
the bill of f are. A man's eye is bound
to catch that list first, whether the man
wants meat or not. Being in a hurry,
as 99 men out of 100 are in the country,
he orders the first attractive dish he
finds, and the result is he gets something-
he does not care particularly
about and something which, the restau
rant man does not care particularly
about selling to him.
"Last winter the man who runs the
restaurant in the national hom of rep
resentatives tried an experiment which
turned out remarkably well. He delib
erately set to work to lure his patronn
away from the 'steaks and chops to or
der' column, ando instead of printing
it in told black letters in the middle of
the bill of fare he tucked it away down
in the lower right hand corner and
placed at the top of the card a list of
the dishes that were most profitable to
him. They proved not only to be most
profitable to him, but most satisfactory
to his customers, and instead of using
six loins of meat a day, as he had done
before, he used only one and a "fatlf and
supplied the same number of guests. "

Powdered Crab as a Medicine.
A Russian journal that has recently
come under our notice calls attention to
the fact that for some 20 years past the
inhabitants of a malarial locality in
the government of Kharkov have used
powdered crabs with great success in
the case of fevers. The powder is pre
pared in the following way: Live crabs
are poured over rith the ordinary
whisky until they get asleep. They are
then put on a bread pan in hot oven,
thoroughly dried and pulverized and
the powder passed through a fine sieve.
One dose, a teaspoonful, is generally
sufficient -to cure the intermittent fevei
In very obstinate cases a second dose is
required. Each dose is invariably pre
ceded by a glass of aloe brandy as a
purgative. The powder is used in that
locality in preference to quinine. So
says the journal. We will not vouch
for it. New York Ledger.
Salmon That Jamp Fifteen Feet.
The first fall on the Mingan is about
three miles from the mouth. It Is 46;
feet high, in three pitches about equal
in height and with seething pools be
tween. The spawning beds of the salmon
are on broad, gravelly bars far up the
river. They must surmount this fall
once a year in order to reach them. We
camped on a sand bar below the fall and
watched tbe struggle. The broad pool
below the fall was so full cf these royal
fish that their tails and dorsal fins,
could constantly be Eeen sticking out of
the water. Every minute one or more
fish would make a rush from the depths
below, spring far Into the air, every
fiber quivering, and time after time fall
back, only tbe most powerful and deter
mined occasionally succeeding in pass
ing the first pitch. Above that every
nook and crevice in the rocks where the
salmon could obtain a renting place
was crowded. Great monsters they
were, weighing from 23 to 40 pounds.
How they ever made the second and
third pitches I do not know, for there j
was not the good starting chance that
they had in the deep hole below the
first pitch. Frederic Irfand in Scrib-
YAWN AND LAUGH OFTEN.
Scieatfe&s Declare XkTBath Are Highly
It is not so very long ago since a for
eign scientist discoursed on tho benefits
of yawning. This act, which is gener
ally regarded as partaking of the nature
of a tired condition, or symptom of
such a condition, of the respiration and
of the need for fresh air, is said to be
of great service in clearing the eusta
chian tubes of the ears. These tubes
lead from the back of the mouth, to the
inner side of tKc ear drum, and a yawn
ing is looked upon in this light as a
hygienic exercise which benefits the
structures in question.
Another scientist has no difficulty in
showing that whenwc laugh we in
crease the play of tension in our lungs.
One result of this increased tension is
to arrest the blood flow in the lungs
and to induce the taking of deep in
spirations. These latter are healthful
things, for many parts of our Itmgs are
not called into active use in ordinary
breathing. The apex, or top of the lung,
is notanly a part which does not active
ly participate in the movements of
breathing, and as this is the special
seat of consumption attack we may
reasonably liold that the law of disuse
explains the greater liability of this
portion of the organ to the onset of dis
ease. The free and active use of 3 part,
strengthening and toning it, as it were,
is an essential condition for health;
hence laughter, by bringing into play
the whole of the lungs, or at least by
favoring an increase of lung work, is to
be reckoned an admirable exercise.
Besides this physical effect of laugh
ter we have also to take into account its
mental side. There is a certain brain
stimulus to be noted, a psychic result,
in addition to the physical effect, and
it is pretty certain the mental phase of
a good, hearty laugh is, in its way, as
healthful as is its physical aspect
Singing is also praised as an excellent
lung- exercise, and public speaking is as
effective a lung tonic as one may wish
for. The only drawback to tho work of
the speaker is the foul condition of the
atmosphere in which he has often to do
his work. Exchange.
OUR CAVALRYMEN BEST.
French Horses, Howerer, Are Snperior to
Those Uaed Here.
The Trench horseman does not ride
as well as his prototype in the United
States regular army, but tho horses cf
the Erench army arc better and more
serviceable than those in the United
States. The half bred barbs of the
chasseurs are up to any amount of work
and the heavier Normans and Bretons
of the dragoons and cuirassiers, although
perhaps too light for the weight they
carry, are splendid specimens of horse
flesh. The French artillery believed
elsewhere than in Prance to be the corps
d'elite of the army was beyond praise.
The physique of the personnel of the
field and horse batteries is superior to
that of the line, and the average effi
ciency of the officers is higher. The
steel gun that it is armed with is a
most effective weapon the fieldpiece
of 90 mm., weighing 10.43 hundred
weight, and firing a 17.98 pound com
mon shell, 18.5 pound shrapnel; the
horse artillery gun weighing 8.36 hun
dredweight, with a 13.15 pound com
mon shell and a 13.84 shrapnel.
The large number of batteries at
tached to an army corps more than
four guns to 1,000 infantry and cav
slry is not the only indication that
the French place great reliance upon
their artillery. The batteries as they
marched past presented an admira
ble appearance. The old maxim of
"spit and polish" was not as mi
nutely carried out as is the case with
the batteries of the United States regn
lar army. The steel hames and collar
chains were in some instances not as
bright as they might have been, nor
were the leather harnesses absolutely
immaculate, but the horses are beyond
criticisnv and everything pertaining to
each piece and each caisson is thorough
ly serviceable and businesslike. New
York Tribune.
The Mot Costly Fruits.
Hothouse grapes are the costliest of
fruits. They are never less than 75
cents a pound, and when they are most
costly, in February and March, they
sell for $9 a pound, sometimes going as
high as $10 a pound. At prices ranging
up to $2 a pound there is a ready sale
for them. At the higher prices they arp
sold almost exclusively for the use of in
valids. There is a sale for all that are
produced, but the production is great,
and the vins may die from exhaustion
after a single season of forcing.
The next most costly fruit is the hot
house peach. Hothouse peaches sell in
February at 2.50. each. They are usd
mainly by invalids, but such peaches
are also often sold for gifts. They are
presented as flowers or as bonbons would
be. Three or four peaches are packed in
cotton and set off with a few peach
leaves in a handsome box. Hothouse
peaches run down to about (10 cents each
in April and May, when we begin to
get the first of the peaches from the
south. New York Sun.

How to
Cure Catarrh.
Every sufferer from Catarrh should
know that it is impossible to cure the
disease with sprays, washes, inhr.la-
tians, etc, which, are universally used.
In fact, the experience of growing
worse all the while is proof that the
treatment is all wrong. Many
who have been under treatment for
years and met with disappointment in
stead of benefit are willing; to doubt
thai there is any cure for Catarrh.
The trouble is that all of the treat
ment they have received has been mis
directed, and has not touched their
trouble. Catarrh is a stubborn deep
seated blood disease, and everybody
should know that to simply; treat the
surface, that Is, the local irritation,
does not reach the disease. A blood
remedy is needed, but it must be a good
one; a' remedy which goes down to the
very bottom of the trouble and forces it
out. S.S.S. (Swift's Specific) is the only
one which can have the slightest effect
upon Catarrh,foritis the only one which
goes to the seat of the disease, and per
manently gets rid of it. This is the only
reasonable wavto treat Catarrh.
Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg,
Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes:
"I could see no improvement what
ever, though I was constantly treated
with sprays and washes, and different
inhaling- remedies in fact, I could feel
that each winter I was worse than the
year previous.
"Finally it was brought to my notice
that Catarrh was a blood disease, and
after thinking over the matter, I saw it
was unreasonable to expect to be cured
by remedies which only reached the
surface. I then decided to try S. S. S.,
and the results were gratifying, for
after a few bottles were used, I noticed
a perceptible improvement. Continu
ing to take the remedy, the disease was
forced out of my system, and a com
plete and permanent cure was the
result. I advise all who have this
dreadful disease to abandon their local
treatment, which has never done them
any good, and take S.S.S. (Swift's Spe
cific), a remedy which can reach the
disease and cure it."
To continue the wrong treatment for
Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's
Specific never fails to cure even
the most aggravated cases. It is a
real blood remedy, and cures Catarrh,
Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison,
Eczema, Cancer, Scrofula, and all other
blood diseases. S. S. S. is guaranteed
