A FAMOUS BEAUTY SPECIALIST
GiT AifiM U Wae Lacking in
lurry ud Vitality.
Thousands of woman are ufling toilet
preparations unsuccessfully.
Gasmstics fail to improve their their
thick, saaddy complexions or to banish
the pimples, blackheads and crow's feet
No wonder. Their trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They have bad
blood, and bad blood in 90 per cent, of
the oaees arises from inflammation of
the aaacous membrane. Their blood is
filed with poison wbicb is certain to
break oat in unsightly humors and
Wotohee while pale, drawn faces, deep
circled eyes, stooping shoulders and
weak backs complete the story of suf
fering and despair.
IaJhunmation of the nucoos membrane
is catarrh. Banish catarrh and com
planons will clear as if by magic, pain
vanish, eyes will brighten, faces become
plump and shoulders erect. Perfect
beauty goes only with perfect health,
and perfect health for woman can only
be obtained through Rexali Mucu-Tone,
the one positive and permanent cure for
catarrh.
Mne. Swift, 44 W. 26th St., New York
City, the most famous beauty specialist
in the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, has this to say of
Mucu-Tone;
"loan strongly endorse the claims
made for Bexall Mucu-Tone as a cure
for systemic catarrh. Its tonic effects
are remarkable. It burlds up the
strength and restores vitality. If woman
who are tired and run down, lacking in
energy and vitality, will use Mucu-Tone
they will praise it as I do for its strength
ening and healing qualities."
Rexali Mucu-Tone works through the
blood, and acting directly upon the ma
cooeUs the congestion and inflamma
tion of which are the sole cause of ca
tarrh causes them to expel the poison
and to resume their natural functions.
Thus the membranes are cleansed the
blood purified and revitalized.
We know that Rexali Mucu-Tone will
care every form of catarrh, no matter
where located, of how lang standing, or
by what other names is is known. We
guarantee to ref and your money if yon
are not satisfied with the vigorous health
and clear complexion it brings vou.

Unfair Restriction.
At the Farmers' National Congress
held in Madison, Wisconsin, this year,
the following resolution, introduced by
Albert Stenger, was endorsed by the
Nebraska delegation:
Whereas, At the present time our meat
products are practically excluded from
the markets of Germany and France,
therefore the Farmers' National Con
gress demands that the government shall
nee all means at its command to remove
the anfair restrictions placed upon the
importation of our meats into these
countries. The Farmers' Congress also
demands that our senators and repre
sentatives' at Washington use their in
flwenoe for enacting an act of congress
to secure that end.
When the resolution was brought up
for discussion, the chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions that was then in
session, informed the members present
that the President had already appoint
ed a commission for the purpose men
tioned in the resolution, and that the
government was doing all it could do at
the present time to secure those markets
for the American farmer and stock
raiser. After a little more discussion of
the matter, it was decided that for the
present it might be inopportune to pass
the resolution and it was then with
drawn. The farmers and stock raisers
are awaiting with anxiety the results of
the labor of the commission appointed
by the President.

Files of the Journal October 14, 1874.
We learn from Wm. Burgers, U. S.
Agent for the Pawnees, the following
facts in reference to their contemplated
change of abode. Barclay White, super
intendent of the Northern agency, and
B. Bush Roberts, one of the board of
special commissioners, were at the res
ervation conferring with the Indians
from Monday to Thursday, inclusive, of
last week, and placed before the Pawnees
the plan of the department of the Inte
rior and an agreement was had upon the
basis of the department plan which
agreement is considered in the nature of
a treaty. The chief stipulations are,
that ten men from each band, with their
families, shall go to tbe unoccupied
lands belonging to the government, and
select a reservation the tribe to abide
by the selection. Tbe reservation will
be near the unoccupied part of the
Indian Territory, and east of the Wichita
reservation. The other Indians are to
remain here until suitable arrangements
can be made for their removal. This
was a part of the department plan; but,
as we understand, the superintendent
will recommend to the department that
the able bodied be allowed to go on a
hunt, in the direction of the proposed re
servation, under the charge' of white
men, and that after the hunt, they will
be near their new reservation with the
Wiobitas. The Pawnees agree to aban
don the chase and to take land in sever
ally for cultivation, each head of a family
onrt hundred and sixty acres. The Paw
nees ask the government to take meas
ures to put their reservation here on
tbe market, the proceeds to be applied
in furnishing them in their new home.
There, as here, they will be under the
charge of the Society of Friends, only
changing from the northern to the cen
tral superin tendency, and it is especially
stipulated that outside men shall not go
with them or live with them. It is not
supposed that the affairs of tbe reserva
tion here will be closed before a year at
least, and the work of the agency in
cultivating land, etc., will go on as usual.

X feel that the country Is indeed to be congratulated upon the
meminatlen of Mr. Taft. I have kmewm him Intimately for many years
ana i have a peculiar feeling for him, because throughout that time
he worked for the same object, with the same purposes and ideals.
I do not believe there could be found in all the country a man
M well mtted to he President.
He is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely disinterested and up
right, but he has the widest acquaintance with the nation's needs, with
out and within, and the broadest sympathies with all our citizens.
He would he as emphatically a President ef the plain people as
Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself would be freer from the least taint
ef demagogy, the least tendency te arouse or appeal te class hatred of
any kind.
He has a peculiar and intimate knowledge of and sympathy with
the needs of all our people of the farmer, of the wage earner, ef the
business man, of the property owner.
sTo matter what a man's occupation or social position, no matter
what his creed, his coler, or the section of the country from which he
comes, if he is am honest, hard working man who tries to do his duty
toward his neighbor and toward the country, he can rest assured that
he will have in Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and the
most fearless of champions.
Mr. Taft stands against privileges 'and he stands pre-eminently for
the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the founda
tion of our national well being.
BOTTTELL 0 1KTAN.
Is His "Shall the People Ruler"
Simply "a Local Issuer"
Congressman Henry Sherman Bou
tell of Chicago, commenting on Mr.
Bryan's speech in Iowa, says :
Mr. Bryan's question, "Shall the peo
ple rule?" implies that somewhere in
this country the people do not rule.
The only States where the people do
not rule are the States that are ex
pected to give overwhelming majorities
for the Democratic ticket Perhaps
Mr. Bryan thinks that his question is
purely "a local issue." If he is sin
cere, I challenge him to make a speech
In Vlcksburg, Miss., on "Government
by the People." Let him repeat one of
his famous anti-imperialist speeches,
simply changing three words, substitut
ing "Mississippi" for "Philippines" and
"black brothers" for "brown brothers."
Let him suggest that we have as chair
man of his meeting John Sharp Wil
liams, leader of tbe Democrats in Con
gress, and as vice-chairmen the other
members of the Congressional delega
tion from Mississippi.
And after he has made his speech
in Vlcksburg, if he shall have escaped
the rule of the people In that com
munity, I dare Mr. Bryan to repeat
his oration on popular government in
Charleston, S. C, with Senator Till
man as chairman of his meeting. Mr.
Bryan's sentiments have a purely geo
graphical sincerity. His epigrams and
startling conundrums are especially de
signed to meet local demands. Of this
nature are all his views on tariff and
taxation.
Mr. Bryan's proposition that every
time a trust Is formed a tariff sched
ule should be repealed, and every time
a trust is dissolved a new duty should
be added, is too funny even for comic
opera.
If on March 4 next Mr. Bryan should
become President, with a Democratic
Congress in both houses, and should
actually place upon the statute books
the financial and economic vagaries de
livered by him in bis speech of last
Friday, It would plunge the nation into
bankruptcy and bring on industrial
chaos. If he should begin by repealing
the duty on sugar to punish the sugar
trust, he would upset tbe national
finances by losing $60,000,000 a year
in revenues, and would stir up a revo
lution In Louisiana, Utah, Colorado
and Michigan. Then, if he should re
peal the duty on cotton goods, because
some hustling manufacturers of New
England or the Carolines were dump
ing goods in China in rivalry with Eng
land and Germany, he would divert
other millions from the treasury and
invite still further industrial ruin.
But, of course, Mr. Bryan would do
none of these things, any more than
he will Invade the solid South and sum
mon the cohorts of Democracy to the
defence of tbe Constitution with the
battle cry "Shall tbe People Rule?"
Mr. Bryan simply does not mean what
he says. What be utters with Chad
bandian unction in the North he repudi
ates with Pecksnlffian duplicity in the
South,

The business men of our community
as a whole are honest and their meth
ods are sound. Tbe President has
never said otherwise. Indeed, it is
chiefly In the Interest of the great body
of honest business men that he has
made his fight for lawful business
methods. Hon. Wm. tt. Taft, to Mer
chants and Manufacturers' Association,

The highest claim of William Mc

trymen Is that, in spite ef the abuse
and contumely that was heaped upon
his head for this policy, he placed our
country In the forefront ef nations as

peoples. Hon. Wm. H. Taft, at Cleve-

ENEMY 0 J TARIFF.
Labor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan of Tariff for Bevenue Only.
(From the Labor World.)
Workingmen and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that, If Mr. Bryan shall be elect
ed President, his plans for revision of
the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr. Bryan is the professed
enemy of the tariff system. He would
impose duties, If at all, for revenue
purposes only. On articles competing
with what he chooses to call trust-made
goods he would hare no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit in import duties
arising from revised schedules he esti
mates would be more than made up by
increased imports. Of course, his hope
is to strike at the great protection
States, which happen to be Republican
in iHriitics, like Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West Vir
ginia, etc. It does not seem to matter
to him that every dollar's worth of for
eign goods in the competitive class com
ing into the United States on a revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by so
much reduces tbe demand for home
goods, thus displacing just that much
American labor. What he wants to do
is to rebuke and avenge himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree woth him in politics and who will
have none of him at the polls, says au
exchauge.
But while Mr. Bryan Is gunning for
protected industries 4 and Republican
States, once his proposed tariff law
should be In force it would fall alike
upon all sections of the country, the
only differences between one State and
another being in tbe degree of hardship
imposed.
We hear of workingmen saying that
this time they intend to vote for Mr.
Bryan, because for the past ten months
we have had hard times. But what
good will that do? Hpw is a tariff for
revenue. Ignoring tbe protection idea
altogether, going to open the shops and
mills? How will the election of Sena
tors by direct vote start the wheels of
industry? Or the publication of cam
paign contributions? Or tbe further
harassment of th railroads? Or the
reorganization of the House, so that
the Speaker may be powerless? Why
open this country now to the markets
of the world when we have not suffi
cient demand to consume what we our
selves manufacture? Under Republi
can rule we have just had ten years of
unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem
ocratic administrations we have never
had prosperity for any period, long or
short.
Can't Disaffect the Farmors.
The failure of Bryan's desperate at
tempts to curry favor with the farmers
is illustrated by tbe manner In wbicb
he was received at Crookston, Minn.
According to Congressman Halvor Stev
enson tbe event went off as follows:
"Bryan's speech at Crookston was a
great disappointment He actually lost
ground there for Democracy. Thous
ands of people were there to bear him,
and waited till ten o'clock in the even
ing before be appeared. The address
was a narrow appeal to farmers, a
harangue, trying to prejudice them
against Republicanism. It didn't take
at all. Only once was there the slight
est symptom of applause. He spoke to
a silent, disappointed audience."
Caatpalsra at Eaaeatlea.
In the great battle of 1896 the Re
publican party again stood for the
maintenance of the integrity of the na
tion. The fight was against -odds pro
duced by a great Industrial depression,
and against tbe most sophistical argu
ments. The Republican party main
tained a campaign of education among
the wage-earners and the farmers,
which ultimately led to the complete
defeat of this second financial heresy
which has threatened the integrity of
our business structure. Hon. Wm. H.
Taft. at Kansas City. Me.
A Gentle Criticism.
"The difference," remarked the drug
store philosopher, as a motor car
barely missed him, "is that wild geese
honk continually, while the educated
goose is the fellow who forgets to
bonk."
Wearing Em Out.
"You're not as strict with that
youngster of yours as you used to be."
"No, for economy's sake. Every
month I used to have to buy myself
a new pair of slippers and him a new
nalr of pants." Catholic Standard.
Howie Study.
Home study is important. Students
should not allow themselves to neglect
this essential of successful school life.
School work is truly the business of
students life and of much more import
ance than much of the so-called business
of later life.
Tbe first requisite of any enterprise
is preparation. School life is prepara
tion for adult life.
Students of our High school should
spend at least two hours in study each
evening and this during tbe earlier pari
of the evening before tbeir power to ac
complish is limited by fatigue or render
ed drowsy by the necessity for sleep.
I fear the great value of this quiet
house study period is not fully appreciat
ed in some of our homes.
Successful work requires home study
and I hope parents and students will co
operate in this.

Hundreds of letters containing tbe
affidavits of parties who registered for
tbe Rosebud drawing have been forward
ed to tbe dead letter office from affidavit
points outside of Dallas and Gregory,
for lack of stamps. This information
comes from O'Neil and other points
Under government requirements affida
vits which are to be mailed should be
forwarded to Judge Witten at Dallas or
Gregory in undesignated envelopes
These envelopes are addressed being
printed, and are furnished to notaries.
Notariee furnish affidavit makers with
the addressed envelopes, with instruc
tions to enclose their applications, stamp
the envelopes and mail them in poetoffice.
Either in their ezcitment, or in tbe be
lief that an envelope addressed to a
governmental agent requires no stamp,
hundreds have mailed their affidavits to
Jndge Witten without tbe necessary
postage. Under the rules of tbe postal
department postmasters have no discre
tion in the matter and are compelled to
to send the letters to the dead letter
office. By the time the delinquent par
ties are notified from Washington that
their letters are in tbe mortuary depart
ment and to forward stamps for their re
turn, it will be too late to get them to
Judge Witten for the registration date
will have passed. The exact procedure
with unstamped letters is to first notify
tbe parties addressed that a letter in
awaiting them and to forward stamps.
In this case cards will be mailed to Judge
Witten notifying him that an unstamped
letter addressed to him is at the O'Neil
office, for instance, and to forward
stamps, which Judge Witten will not
do. Then such letters are sent to tbe
dead letter office, there opened and the
sender notified. -Norfolk News.

Dew.
Dew does lot "fall" in the sense
that raia does. It has been scientific
ally demonstrated that "dew" is
simply the moisture that is abstract
ed from the air by the rapid cooling
of the bodies with which that air
comes in contact; as, for example, the
moisture that Is seen of a summer
day on the outside of a pitcher con
taining ice water. Dew is not formed
on windy nights, because the drift
ing air then brings its own tempera
ture to the radiating bodies, and pre
vents them from getting cooled as
speedily as they would otherwise.

Peonies as a Medicine.
Peonies were originally esteemed
less for beauty of bloom than for value
as a medicine. In recognition of its
curative virtues, the peony was named
after Paeon, the physician of the
gods. An old writer says: "About an
infant's neck hang peonie. It cures
Alcydes cruell maladie." Nor did the
use of the plant stop there, for peony
water was esteemed and drank ia by

writers can say.

the father of a family thinks the most
of his children at the time when they
are being taken upstairs to bed."
