Tin soripturo suys: "Ho l wnrso
thwn nu liiHtlu! wh proviilcth not for
bis own household." Tho fusion press
throughout tho country is belittling It
self by trying f mnico Its renders bo
liovo that tho election wus won by up
pcnling to tho people's stomnchs nithor
than their reasons nnd hearts. Demo
crnts hnvo nlwnys been known to get
real rotison and goodsunso badly mixed
up with jingoism.
Sonntor Allen has twice been reject
ed by tho pcopU of his stntf. In 1898
lie made u careful canvass of Ncbrnska
and labored linnl for tho election of a
fusion legislature Hn was turned
down. Tho dentil of Senator Hay ward
gavo 1 im a second lrcso of Hfo at the
hands of Governor I'oynter who np
pointed hint to III', tho vacnncy. The
lato lection gave him a second turn
down and it hn desires U servo the
people ho will return to his practico (
law and possibly seek a position as dis
trict judgo in his own judicial district
In reply to an inquiry b to whnt
should bo dono to restore tho demo
cratic party, Sonator Catchings of Mis
isslppl, says: "Drop free- silver, drop
fusionisin, drp tho cry of government
by Injunction, drop tho cry of imper
ialism and militarism, drop nil dis
cussion about tho Philippines until
poaco has been restored, drop appeals
to the passions and prejudices of tho
idlo and discontented." All of which
is very wise advice. Tho query that
suggests lisolf however, is: "What
would be left of the democratic party
If all theso things wero dropped?"
Tho democratic party has produced
some of the nation's greatest states
men, Itlsto the advantage of tho people
that the two parties alternate iu cou
trol of national affuiis, as one is a
check on the other; but populisn has
never been popular, and It never will
be. A populist Is an agricultural anar
chist. A populist ib a man who declares
that industry is discreditable; that
thilft Is a crime, and respectability
suspicious. Amcrirans do a great deal
of grumbling, but they will novr sub
mil to Dopulism in the nation, for it
would moan national dishonor. Thou
sands of thoughtless people will cheer
for repudiation, but repudiation is a
Horloim thing; a tutlon cannot alTord
it. W. J. llrynn is a populist. Atchi
son (ilobe.
So many questions havn been asked
concerning Mr. Hrynn's vote iu his pre
cinct, ward anil county that tho nllici
al ligurcfl have been ting out of tho
recor.ts. Tliu following i.s tho otllciat

It will bu seen that in nil uavo tho
county, which, curiously enough, gavo
llrynn exactly as many votes as four
years ago, the democratic candldato
received a few moro vetes. MclCinley,
however, received an enoimous num
ber of additional votes, thus greatly
increasing his pluralities.

Another treatment of suako-bites Is
now added to the long list of entries
that liave come from many countries.
It is said that tho natives of Australia
have comparatively little fear of snake
biUa. They keep always at hand a
piece of Btrlng mado of human hair.
This string Is tied tightly three or four
Indies above the bite, a small circle an
eighth of an inch deep is cut around the
two fang punctures with a knife, nnd
the largest vein below the blto Is silt to
allow the blood to run out. The labt
btugoof this heroic treatment Is the
turning on of a atream of water to tho
affected rmrt and thu rubtilnir down

" almost Forgot ten
Incidents ol Every Day Life Which Very
Few People Stop to Think About on
Accouut of Their Littleness,
Some of tho boys have heard of the
lawyer who said hn was the coming
man. Tho coming man now is called
8. Clntis. Two men who hare already
arrived and hnvo come to stay for
a few months aro named Tom and
Jerry. Many of our citizens will get
intimately acquainted with tlum dur
ing their stay. Some of thorn will re
grct tho acquaintance for a short sea
son but will want to renew old friend
ship again. Tho summer girl has gone
but buckwheat cakes and maplu syi up
are horo to tako their place The ilrst
of tho year is coming and it is a good
time to settle up every Utile, floating
debt. While yen are doing this i.
member thnt llttln floating debt 3011
owe u on subscription. Those owing
two, three, four and llvu years prefer
red. Now Years promises aro so haul
to keep and so often broken that a
good man of this town has ptouiijcd
himself to bo more wicked thin ever
just to seo what the effect will be.
Ulrla mny think thero is no harm iu an
innocent llirtatiou and thciu Is none,
but thero is no such thing as an "inno
cent flirtation." This is whnt a Kan
sas editor says of It: "A flirtation
added to n girl's education is like
brushing tho down from the peach,
robbing tho rose of its perfume, tak
ing pretty tineonseiouincs from tho
baby, etc., etc. Then girls should
hear what men say about a lllrt; men
aro mighty menu. There Is no danger,
pariiculaily, in tho man who wrinkles
his forehead up and down, but beware
of thu man who wrinkles it east and
west, ho Is a killer." It is wonderful
what a largo amount of money a news
paper is supposed to get out of tho
campaign funds, etc., beforo election
and how really little it tloiii got for tho
extra expuuso and troublo it goes to in
booming candidates. Talking in this
lino how very seldom is n nowspaper
man recognized when it :mes to tho
distribution e-f tho loaves and fishes.
In tho distribution of positions under
the now administration of tho state's
affairs the nowspnpor man will bo iu it
like 10 to 1. There aro s many yellow
hammers who "saved tho stnto" who
want a position that tho editors aro
afraid to ask for their duos for fear
thoy will bo placed in tho samo class.
A Yankee girl hai discovered that a
piece ef sand paper tied to each ankle
will produce a good imitation of the
frou frou of a fifteen dollar silk skirt.
Whasa god-send this will bo t her
best follow whoa he wants to light his
cigar in wet weather. Now that it is
getting cold weather and you feel lone
some and don't know where to go for
nmusomont your mind enn revert to
the fact of how pleasant it would be if
we had an auditorium or opera houso
where one could enjoy a good play for
a few hours. Of cotirso yon can ge to
the saloon, tho club or the (p. d ) and
pass your evenings, but thero aro many
of our citizens who are not partial to
any of theso. Let your children find
amusement at night In tho back alleys
and when your farmer customers come
to town to spend an evening point out
tho placo where they can get rid of
ineirroauy money tne quickest. Un
Thanksgiving dny it has been ananged

NO MAIN IS STRONGER
THAN HIS STOMACH.
The stomach is the vital center of the
IkxIj-, It is the organ from which nil
other organs are fed. A weak stomach
means a weak man. There never was a
strong man with a weak stomach. What
is called "weak stomach" is iu general a
diseased condition of the stomach nnd
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
which prevents the proper digestion of
the food which is taken into the stom
ach, and so reduces the nutrition of the
Inxly. When all food is taken away the
body starves. When the food eaten is
only digested and assimilated lu part it
only nourishes the body in part, and so
the Ixxly is parUy starved. And this
starvation is felt iu every organ of the
body dependent on the blood which is
made (rani food.
The great variety of the cures per
formed by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is due to its remarkable
power to heal diseases of the stomach
and allied organs. It cures through the
stomach diseases seemingly remote, but
which have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition,
"Weak" heart, lungs, kidneys and weak
ueM of other organs is cured with the
cure of the weak stomach.
Mr. Tliomat A. Swart, noi joi. Substation
C. Colunitm, Ohio, writrs! i wui taken very

by the aid of a chair, and t cot so thin I had
I i-m up la die, thinking that I could not be

a new man out of yourself. The fust bottle
