[ FHOM THE DEE'S UKCOLX
The question ot the use of water for
Irrigation from the South Platte river in
Colorado , by moans of which Nebraska
eettlera in the western part of the state
on that river are robDcd entirely of water
and the stream remains dry for weeks at
n time , is exciting more than passing in-
toros t in both Colorado and Nebraska ,
The letter of Governor Thaycr to Gov
ernor Ailams forwarding in detail the
complaints of settlers on the bordorjwas
Widely commented upon in both states
Bnd the Kuriotis nature of the dry In K of
the South J'latto for the lirst time Gained
enura ! public notice. Governor Th uycr
as pincu writing the letter been giving
the ( lillicnliy n good deal of thought , and
\vliilu no relief is discovered , the gov
ernor is of the opinion that settlement
will have to be made through congress ,
nnil he will probably work to that end.
The reply of Governor Adams , of Col
orndo. to Governor Thaycr is made by
the attorney general of that state , Mr.
Jvlursh , and Is as follows ;
DKNVKH , Col. , July 27. Hon. John M.
Thayer , Governor of Nebraska. Dear Sir :
Governor Adams tins just handed mo your
communication to him of tlie S3d Instant , for
reply.
lie dtslrcs me to state tliat ho has given
the Hiibjcct to which you nlliulo tlio thouKht-
lul consideration which it deserves , nnd that
while he regrets the hardship Imposed
through the agencies you miggest upon the
farmers In the western' border of your utato
living along the line of the South Plntto
river , yet , as the executive of this state he Is
entirely powerless to grant any measures of
relief.
Under the constitution and laws of this
state , tbo waters of every natural stream can
bo appropriated lor domestic , agricultural
and manufacturing purposes , subject to
preference in the order above named , nnd to
priority of rights of appropriation for said
several objects.
A system ot Irrigating canals and ditches
has sprung un under the protection of those
laws. Involving large outlaj s of money by
Individuals and corporations , and giving rise
to many important and embarnsslng quus-
tlons In their practical use and development ,
which have to bo determined Oy the courts.
In view of these facts , Governor Adams
feels that ho can do no more than to give
general publicity to your communication , by
causing the same to be published in our ( Rest
Influential and widely circulated Journals ,
with a hope that at its next session our
general assembly ( the only power which can
give any adequate itself ) may take up and
consider the question with reference nt least
to the suggestion contained In the letter of
your correspondent , Air. Stocking.
With much respect , 1 remain , yours , etc. ,

MB , rOPl'LETON KEl'UKS.
In the matter of the complaint of
Plummur , 1'erry & Co. , of Lincoln ,
against the Union Pacific on California
through rates , and as tiled in the oflico
of the railroad commission , the Union
Fuel lie has entered a general denial as
follows :
The 1) ) nlon Pacific denies that the rates
charged from San Francisco to Omaha and
from Omaha to Lincoln or either of them ,
are unreasonable or extortionate , but on the
contrary Insists that both are reasonable and
that the sum ot the two rates is much less
than Uio rate from San Francisco to Lincoln ;
that during the period In which the ship
ment occurred , section 4 of the act to regu
late commerce , was suspended by the na
tional inter-state Commerce commission be
tween points situated on the Missouri
river and points situated on the
Pacific coast on account of water
and rail competition between such i'acllic
coast points and points on the mam line ,
whereby a lower late could bo made between
bald points than between either terminus
and intermediate points , and that It was
aolely by reason of such suspension that a
rate of 75 cents could be made to Omaha on
the shipment In controversy. Respondent
therefore claims that said rate is not only
reaouableand Just , but very low and was In
the Intei ests ot complainants and in the only
form possible.
Respondent admits that it has not followed
the practice In vogue before the passage of
the act of congress entitled "An Act to Reg
ulate Commerce , " which took etfect April 5 ,
1887 , of giving to shippers In Lincoln a lower
rate of ttoiglit than at other trade centers
similarly situated , and for the reason
that It Is prohibited by said act
from so doing , that the former rate was a dis
crimination in favor ot Lincoln that cannot
now bo lawfully made. Respondent denies
that the railway lines hauling the freight In
controversy to aud.trom the rebilling point
are parlies to an unlawful combination and
discrimination against the city of Lincoln
nnd the mercantile prosperity thereof , but
on the contrary alleges the truth to be that
eucli lines have heretofore protected the
trade and business ot Lincoln , and are still
doing so to the extent thai the laws will per
mit.
Respondent further submits that the rate
of freight complained of Is entire from San
1'rmiclsco to Lincoln and is an Inter-state
rate. That said freight was reshlpped ana
rebllled from Omaha to Lincoln solely in the
Interest and for the benefit of the complain-
nuts and in order to KWe them the lowest
possible rate , but that the shipment and the
rate relate to and are a part of the commerce
among states , and that therefore your honor
able body has no jurisdiction thereof or
power thereover. Respondent further
denies the jurisdiction or power of
this honorable board to modify ,
change , fix or establish a rate of freight on
the shipment in controversy , or any like
shipment between different states , and In
nny case , or under any circumstances to con-
tny. modify , fix or establish rates for freights
> f Vt passengers on or over the respondent's ,
T Ihn Union Pacific company's lines.
Mr. Ponploton therefore asks that the
cane bo dismissed.
CLOSE CALL FOR , LIFE.
Robert U. Love , n 1) . & M. freight
brakeman , had an oxpcrlcnco ycstorclaj
morning ntVuverly that came vorj
nearly coating him his life , llis trail
left Lincoln at 3 a. in. bound for J'lutts

done , and as the work was just closoc
nnd the engine and two cars were back

the traok at the switch ahead of the oar
In crossing ho caught hit fool in the fro ;
nnd in a second saw it was Impossible * fo :
him to got loose. With this state of iifl'uir
nnd the engine and cars rapidly approach
ing , ho throw himself hotwceu the rail
nnd was found there after the engine am
cars had passed over him. Ho had boei

The Tioga BIan' Talk With a White-
Haired Stranger.
Texas Siftlngs : Jimpson Is n farmer
from up in Tioga county. He came to
Now York the other day ti got nway
from the heat nnd took a trip to Long
Urnnch on nn iron steamer.
Ho was just dying to talk to some one ,
being nil alone and Uncling n plain-look
ing man with white hair sitting along
side of him on the forward deck ho
thought ho would open conversation.
Ho hemmed n few times to attract the
plain man's attention , and then he said :
"Cleveland made a great mistake about
them flaps , don't you think so ? "
"About what flags ? "
"Why , the confederate flags. Ho was
in favor of Bending them back to the
south , you know. "
"Why didn't ho do it ? "
"itccauso the north raised such a
blessed row about It , that's why. "
"Did they belong to the north ? "
"Course they did. The north took
em. "
"Where did the north take 'cm to ? "
"Took 'em to Washington. And now
Cleveland wants to send 'cm back. "
"Had ho borrowed 'em ? "
"Harrowed'emI no. "
"Perhaps he'd bought 'em nnd they
didn't just suit. In that case he might
exchange 'em or take it out in suthln
else. "
Jimpson looked at the white-haired
man with profound astonishment for a
moment , and then lie asked :
"Where were you raised , neighbor ? "
"Right over there , " ho replied , waving
his hand toward the New Jersey coast ,
.which lay ntretched out like an ocean-re
sort sea-serpent in the distance.
"I thought so , " said the Tioga man to
himself ; "none of them Jersey fullers are
very bright. " Then ho began anew :
"Them ( lags had been captured in the
war. "
"VVhatwar ? "
"Tho war of the rebellion. "
"You don't mean to tell me there has
been a rebellion ? " said the New Jersey
man , with some little show of Interest.
"Is it over ? "
"Well , not in New Jersey,1'exclaimed
Tioga , growing red in the face. "It takes
live men to get up a rebellion and if you
are a specimen of the people of your
state there is no danger of a rebellion
thero. " And Jimpson of Tioga jumped
up in ill-suppressed anger and went to
another part of the boat muttering that
he never met such a darn fool in his life
as that Jcrsoymiin.
"Hello , McVicker , going to Long
Branch ? " was the way the supposed Jor-
soyinnn was saluted a moment after by a
well known star actor , who was imme
diately regaled with a relation of the
above incident. The plain , white-haired
man was Manager McVicker of McVick-
er'a theatre. Chicago , who dearly loves a
joko. But it wouldn't do to lot the mar
from Tioga Know how ho was playoii
upou.
Painless Ileculatton.
It is no longer a question of doubt
although the contrary was once bcjicvci
that medicines which produce violent
effects aru unsuited to other than despcr
nto emergencies. In other words , that
super-potent remedies uro calculated to
weaken and injure the system rather
than reform its irregularities. Among
medicines of a debilitating efluct nre
cathartics and cholagogues which copi
ously and abruptly evacuate the bowels.
Because it does not do this , Hostellers
Stomach Bitters are preferable to the
drenching class of pcrgatives. Painless
in its effects , it is sufliciently active to
remedy chronic constipation. It re
lieves by invigorating the intestines , and
enables , not forces , them to perform the
duty imposed upon them by nature. Promoting
meting the secretion of bile in normal
quantities by its healthfully stimulating
ellect upou the liver , it is eminently con
ducive to digestion , and contributes in no
small degree to Keep the bowels regular.
A Convict's Career.
Louisville Commercial : In the south
ern prison at JeHi'rsonville , Monday ,
Frank Gulliver , a half-breed. Miami In
dian , who was serving a life sentence for
the killing of two men in a barroom fight
nt Richmond. Ind. . in 1807 , breathed his
lost. Gulliver being half Indian and
half negro , was a perfect brute in dispo
sition , and greatly feared by all who
know him. Ho was n butcher , nnd had
the reputation of being able to disem
bowel more porkers in a single day than
any other man in the stnto. Gulliver has
engaged in many contests of this kind ,
and often large sums of money wore
etakcd on the result. Those who placed
their money on the half-breed never lost.
lie could , if it became necessary , use the
sculping knife with as much skill as a
fnil-Hedged Comnnche. At the time of
his arrest for the killing nt Richmond the
county seat of Wayne county was at
Centrovillo , nnd to that place ho was
hurried by the shoriil to sayo him from
being lynched. It was twenty years ago ,
and the jail at Ccntroville was then a
huge log structure , but very substantial
ly built. Gulliver made several attempts
to dig through the walls , but always
failed. Finding that he could not gam
his liberty in that manner , ho ono night
sot lire to the building , nnd was in n fair
way to bo cremated , when the jailor dis
covered what was going on and removed
the prisoners. The building though
much damaged wasot totally destroyed.
The old criminal was in his seventieth
year , nnd had finished twenty years of
servitude. Ho WHS born on the Indian
reserve in Howard and Tipton counties ,
Indiana , nnd spent his boyhood days
there with the Miami Indians. He has
ono brother , n birbor , doing business in
Indianapolis , and it is likely he will at
tend to the disposing of the remains.
Although throe score nnd ten years ol
age , ho had never been ill until taken
about n week ago with pneumonia.
Mr. Donnls of the Benson house has
loused it to nn Iowa party who takes pos >
session the first of September. Mr. Uon-
nia will then take charge of the Reed
housu , now in course of erection on
Twenty-fifth street. It will be n three
story frame , 1150x41 foot , nnd will contain
lifty roouia.

ters of Interest for the

811k Ilnlslnjt In the Wont.
NAPRHVILI.E , 111. , Aug. 8. [ Editor of
the Chicago Tribune. ] In consideration
of the prevailing Interest now felt in silk
raising in the west , nnd of the attention
which the Tribune has been giving to the
matter , 1 venture to communicate from
my own personal knowledge some facts
in the history ot the earliest successful
efforts to rear silkworms and to manu
facture silk in the west. In 1827 , my father ,
Daniel Roc , nt Dayton O. , procured from
the patent office a few the usand silk
worms' eggs for experiment. When
warm weather arrived ho took the eggs
from nn icu house , where they had been
deposited to prevent premature hatching ,
placed them where they received the In
direct rays ot the sun , nnd in due time
was rewarded with living worms almost
as numerous as the eggs ; but n few failed
to hatch. They were healthy and hun
gry. And how ho watched over , fed ,
and cared for the little follows until they
hud eaten their fill of wild mulberry
leaves nnd grown to lull size , and had
hidden themselves away in silken co
coons is a vivid memory to me still ,
though it happened sixty years iigo.
Enthusiastic over his lirst experiment ,
which resulted so successfully , ho now
rnado arrangements to procure for the
next year through the patent ollico as
before two millions of eggs. In the
meantime ho studied the whole subject
of silkworm rearing nnd the manufac
ture of silk with untiring devotion. The
literature of the subject was at that time
meagre indeed ; but cyclopedias were
searched , nccossablo librariesovcrhaulcd ,
correspondence opened with other in
quirers , and much information of gen
eral nature obtained , but so litllo that
was specific and adapted to the local cli
mate and the native foo'd for the worms
that Mr. Uoo was compelled to take the
chances nnd in a great degree to feel his
way in the dark.
In the spring of 1828 he hired an old
church cdilico facing the canal basin ,
fitted it up with shelves nnd hurdles , and
got ready for his two million of worms.
They came in duo season , lived nnd
throve on wild mulberry leaves , eating
eighty pounds per day for the last wcek _
before beginning to spin , and went into
their cocoons in good condition. The
loaves on which these worms were fed
were gathered in the woods in the vicin
ity of Dayton nnd came from two species
of native mulberry.
After the worms had passed into the
chrysalis state a few were allowed to pro
duce moths to simply cngs tor the next
year ; and the rest were "killed by baking ,
to preserve the silk fibre unbroken.
Now came the mechanical dillicultics.
Machinery was to bo invented nnd con
structed to wind the silk from the co-
ooons , to reel it properly onto spools for
the weaver , and a loom devised and con
structed upon which to do the weaving.
Mr. Hoc invented all these and aided in
their construction. A Frenchman familiar
with the business was found who put the
reeled silk into the loom and wove 200
yards of heavy silk handkerchiefs. And
that was the end of my father's silk ex
periments. Did ho make any money ?
Not a cent. Ho did not try to make
money , but to make silk , and that ho did.
The handkerchiefs were disposed of to
the curious nt $2 eucli.
It may bo stated in conclusion that
there was then no market for cocoons
anywhere in the United States , which led
to the making of original machinery and
the manufacture of the silk bv the pro
ducer. But ono thing was fully demon
strated. The leaf of the native mulberry
and the climate of central Uhio are well
suited to the production of silk.

Quantify of Milk Jtoqulrecl Tor Iluttcr.
Philadelphia Record. How much milk
is required to make ono pound of butter
depends upon so ninny circumstances as
to render it impossible to estimate upon
any certain quantity as the proper pro
portion. No two breeds of cattle possess
the same qualifications , and there is no
herd of ono breed made up of oows .of
like capacity for either milk or butter.
Milk is a variable substance , and even
when some particular cow may bo se
lected for experiment in the production
of milk and butter she will fail to give a
uniform quantity of milk of the name
quality from one day to another. The
seasons influence the yield , as is shown
by the trial of n cow selected for purposes
of experiment. Allowing two pounds of
milk to represent ono quart , the record
shows that in January from 10 pounds
of milk 1 pound of butter was
produced , while in February 1 pound
of butter was made from 14 pounds of
milk. These months being winter
months , when green food is usually
scarce , it would naturally bo supposed
that in summer the cow would give a
larger quantity of butter from n given
quantity of milk than she would in win
ter , but her record was 31 pounds of milk
to 1 pound of butter in March , 1'J pounds
of milk for 1 pound ef butter in April ,
and 32 pounds of milk for 1 pound of
butter in May. The quantity of milk re
quired to produce a pound of butter dur
ing the remainder ot the year was : For
June.54 pounds ; July , 2'J pounds , August ,
25 pounds ; September , 23 pound * ; Octo
ber , 18 pounds ; November , 1C pounds ;
and December , It ) pounds. It docs not
imply thatdiirmg the summer season the
quantity of milk yielded by the cow was
less than that yielded in winter , but that
it was not as rich ns cream. These
changes were effected , not by the quan
tity of the food but by its quality , as the
cow had abundant pasturage in June ,
although it required fifty-four pounds of
milk to produce one pound of butter dur
ing that month. November to March
are periods of the year when cows nro
fed on concentrated food , and consequently
quently they receive more attention from
tbo dairyman. The yield of milk may be
less , but the proportionate quantity ot
butter may bo greater. The time of calv
ing also affects the quality , while the
severity of the cold , as well ns the shelter
nnd protection given , must also bo con
sidered. The experiment shows how dif
ficult it is to estimate upon the butter
production of a cow. The food and its
quality is the most important feature of
management , nnd the tests of cows for a
week only may not represent the capacity
for n longer time. No matter what the
breed may bo , upon the management de
pends the value and capacity of the
animal. _
Oat Straw for Stock.
In n recent report of conclusions ,
reached through a long series of experi
ments , concerning the feeding value of
oat straw , Prof. Sanborn , of Missouri ,
says that this straw is mainly valuable aa
a lioat and fat producer. It does not pro
duce much fat , because- cattle will not
eat enough of it. It contains but 1.4 per
cent of digestible albuminoids or flesh
formers , nnd 40 per cent of digestible
carbohydrates or fat formers , lleuco ,
to use it with advantage nnd got the full
benefit of it , it must be fed with a food
directly the opposite kind , such as oil
meal or cottonseed meal. The professoi
found that thirty-four pounds of put ;
straw and six pounds of cottonseed uioul 1
gave the tame rctiilU as fifty pounds of
nay , because cottonseed meal has 83.3
per cent of albuminoids and but 17.0 per
cent of carbohvdrato3thu3 forming , with
the straw , n well balanced ration. Uil
meal contains 97.0 per cent of albumi
noids and 87 per cent of carbyhydrntes ,
PO that n pound more of oil meal than of
cottonseed meal should bo fed. The
cost of this feed ns compared
with hay , nt 15 a ton , or
ono-qunttor of a cent per pound , is an
Important question. It is said to take 85
pounds of it to make n steer gain n pound
n day , or 01 cents daily to keep him in
good growing condition. But if by feed
ing 4 pounds of oil nieal , worth It cents
per pound , the same gain uin bo made ,
and by feeding a proportionately less
amount wo can keep up the weight , it
will help out n short crop of hay. But to
the farmer who has not nnd cannot got
oil meal the following facts will bo of
value : Clover hay contains about 0 per
cent of albuminoids , timothy contains 5.8 ,
and oat straw 1.4 per cent ; therefore ) it
will bo scon that n tone of clover liny fed
with a ton of oat will bo equal in value
to two tons of timothy , because clover
liny contains an excess of albuminoids ,
and it is waste to fed it by itself , as it is
wnsto to fed oat straw nlono. A steer
fed on the straw long enough would
starve , but when fed with clover they nro
n well balanced ration , nnd make a poor
luvy crop go much further , it is clearly
established that the food value of oat
straw can bo obtained only bn feeding
with something that has un excess of al
buminoids nnd a deficiency of carbohy
drates. The farmer's food of this class is
clover hay.
ScaRonnhle Illntit nnd
Use every endeavor to induce the birds
to build near the house nnd barn , ns they
are the best insect exterminators.
Buttermilk thickened with wheat mid
dlings nnd ground oats , with plenty of
grass , is the best food for growing pigs.
Cabbages delight in frequent cultiva
tion nnd cannot be worked too often. If
necessary , the hou should bo used close
to the plant.
The Chicago live stock show will hnvo
n department for poultry , this year , nnd
it is expected that over 3,000 birds will bo
ou exhibition.
After the rains it will require close at
tention and extra work to Keep down the
weeds nnd grass , ns they now have the
most favorable conditions of growth.
It is best not to allow n tree to so over
load itself with fruit ns to compel the use
of props to the limbs. The fruit should
bo thinned out , leaving only the choicest.
Where n young tree runs up in height
with but few strong branches and u men
der trunk the top should bo trimmed oil'
a few inches , especially of the main
shoots.
Young turkeys over ton weeks old are
usually past danger. They will bo tender -
dor until they shall hivn the red face ,
but after that time they will bo hardier
than chicks ,
Open sheds in the barnyard nro service
able in providing shade in the summer ,
nnd in affording protection from driving
storms in winter. Kvery barnyard
should have an open shed , if conven
ient.
In turninc weeds under the work will
bo thrown nway unions they bo com
pletely covered , ns covering the roots
only and leaving the tops out of the
ground will permit them to continue
growing.
It costs very little to plant trees along
the road , nnd when they shall reach n
fair size they will add something to the
vnluo of the farm. Attractiveness is
often of as much value as fertility when
disposing of a farm.
Tomatoes will not bccomo affected
with the rot if the vines bo properly
trimmed nnd staked. If they nro per
mitted to fall over nnd the fruit rest
on the ground , the result will bo some
times an attack of the rot nnd nlso of in
sects.
sects.Whore
Whore sheep nro troubled with flies
nnd mngcots they rapidly lose lle.sh , as
they got but little rest nnd have no np-
potites. Damp pastures are also in
jurious , often causing foot rot. The
sheep should always bo sheltered at
night.
A fast horse is not the best for the
plow or cultivator , as such horses not
only exhaust themselves but the driver
also. The best work can usually bo done
with u slow animal , as the grass and
weeds can thus more easily bo de
stroyed.
The recent ruins have been very favor-
nblo to turnips , which should bo thinned
out in the rows and well' worked until
the loaves shall cover the ground. The
turnip grows very rapidly , nnd only
needs attention nt lirst for it to grow to n
large si/.o.
Ono of the principal cauecs of failure
in preserving eggs is that in nearly all
cases where the eggs are collected from
dilTorcnt sources a few stnlo ones get in
among these that nro fresh , thus injur-
jnring all. Only strickly fresh eggs can
bo preserved.
The white nnd brown Leghorn fowl
begin to iny when only five months old.
They nre non-setters , lay white eggs , and
rank very high as egg-producers. They

When digging potatoes allow them to
thoroughly dry before removing them to
the storage bins. If dried in the shade
it will bo better than exposing them to
the direct rays of the sun , and they
should not be stored too soon after digging
them , but should bo kept spread out fern
n few days.
Mud in the barn yard is n sevora trln !

should bo used freely in order to have
the barn-yard ns dry ns possible. A filthy
harn-yurd often compels the stock to re
main in the stalls instead of allowing it
to be in the fresh air. Sheep cannot
thrive unless the barn-yard bo free from
mud , while cows often have their udders
covered , the dirt from which passes into
the pail when they nro milked.
A great many fruit-growers do not cul
tivate the blackberry canes niter the fruit
has been gathered , under the supposition
that the grass and weeds prevent winter
killing ; but recent developments show
that tlm ditllculty is duo to n parasite in
stead of to exposure to severe cold , nnd
that a thorough cultivation at this season
will assist the growth of now cane nnd
ttdd vigor to the plants , thus enabling
them the butter to pass through the
winter.

DECORATIVE ART.
THIRTY YEARS IN THE CITY Ol

Ono of the Oldoit Inhabitants CH > e
Thrilling Experience of His BesciM
from Dotith.
From the Chlcngo Daily Nowi June t ) , Ml
In public places , especially In the summer
season , the eye it often attracted by neat ±
decoratipui 'which embellish chandclten 't *
and ceilings as protection again * ! those hu $
man pests , the ( lies , which , however , erv ' * ,
their purpose as the scavengers of the air , j
The designs employed nre ofttimes rcallr
works of art nnd the deft way In which
they arc nttachlcd to walls and ceilings seas
as to propcct them ; gives an Impression d
airy lightness which Is pleasing to the eye ,
No man has probably spent so much tlmo
in Chicago on this line of trade as the sub- \
jcct of the following sketch ; He has been a
resident of Chicago for thirty years , coming
here with his parents when only 10 years ol
age , and having grown up with the city hit
name is known to thousands of her people ,
Within n short time such a wonderful
change has taken place in his personal p-
pcarance that it has attracted the Attention
of his friends as well as that of a reporter ,
who called upon him within a day or two
and obtained the following sworn statement
Personally appeared before me , Georgfl
W. Hoover , No 278 West Twelfth ttreJ $ " ,
who , being sworn according to law , doth " ' ,
depose and s.ay : _ _ *
That I have been ill for two or three year ( 2 ]
with a lung trouble , which a short tlmo
since resulted in hemorrhage , so that I re
marked to my wife : I think about next fall
I will finish up. That I have paid out hun
dreds cf dollars in the past two years for
medicine and advice , but pothit\g did mo
any practical good. I would stop coughing
for nn hour or so , but it would come again
next day. The relief afforded me was only
temdorary. I read of the numerous cures
which had been effected by _ Dr. McCoy in
the papers , and they described so closely
my symptoms that I called upon him at
No. 10 Park Row. Dr. McCoy told me
that I had catarrh.il bronchitis , and there
was serious trouble with the right lung in
' .he . form of an abscess. I was put under
he treatment , and he gave me relief right
away. The night sweats with which I i
ind been troubled have left me and I now
rest well. I began the Ueatmcnt on th i
23d of Mav last , I used to cough every
nornlng ; would get sick at the stomach. 1
iavc been verv nearly strangled trying to
; ct something up when there was nothing
o come up. But now I am doing splen
didly. Have a clear head. I am not
clouded up I can travel All day and not
tire out , and I can assure you my work re
quires me to go about a great deal , I am
satisfied that if I had not gone under this
treatment I should have been compelled to
stop work entirely , and this is my busy
bcason. I was obliged on account of my
trouble to leave a very easy situation about
a year ago because I could not stand the
light air aud was constantly taking cold.
[ have not felt so well for years as I do
now , an'd I work hard , too. My friendi
remark my improved appearance , and I
> ave gained five pounds in the little time
which I have been under treatment , and I
am convinced that a cure will be effected.

I.EAOS TO CONSUMPTION.
nlvrckliiit ; Evidence of u Condi *
11 on Not to lie Trilled With.
The disease from which Mr. Hoover suf
fered was catarrhal consumption. The
disease originated In a cold , which became ,
chronic. As n result came the formation ol
mucus , which was partly discharged from
the head or dropped down the throat and
was partially hawked up. A large portion
of it , however , was swallowed , passing into
the stomach and causing catarrh there.
The mucus formed by catarrh decompose * ,
and when it reaches the stomach Is tithcr
absorbed in the blood , producing all
manner of evil symptoms , or else coats
over the food with a slimy material , which
prevents the food from coming in contHCt
with the digestivcjuices in the stomach.
The food itself decompotes. forms gat or
wind In larfje quantities , and causes a feel
ing of bloating or fullness after eating.
When the catarrh has existed In tlm
head and the upper part of the tin oat for
any length of time the patient living In a
district where people are subject to catarrhal - *
al affection and the disease has been left "i
uncurcd , the catnnh invariably , sometimes
slowly , extends down the windpipe and
into the bronchial tubes , which tubes con
vey the air to the different parts of the
lungs. The tubes become aflcctcd from
the swelling and the mucus arising from
catarrh , and in some infctances becomes
plugged up so that the air cannot get in as
freely as it should. Shortness of breath
follows and the patient brcalhcb with labor
and difficulty.
In either case thcie is a sound of crack
ling and wheezing inside the chest. At
this stage of the disease the breathing is
usually more rapid than when in health.
The patient alto has hut Hashes over his
body ,
