[ rnuM THE ncn's LINCOLN iiuiimu.1 Tlio detailed publication ot the unlawful consolldullon of the Atchison & Nebraska railroad with the 11. & M. line is attracting much attention the stuto over. Mr. C. Q. Duwcs , the attorney who presented tlio facts , to Attorney General Loose , hus been congratulated - ' gratulated inuny times upon the clear and concise statement of the case , and public sentiment along the line of the old Ii. & M. road is making Itself felt. When the people along this line rcallzo the extent of the rob bery perpetrated upon them by this consoli dation the attorney general will bo apt to hear in unmistakable terms the demand that the wrongs be righted mill that the courts take from the 13. & M. that which it ac quired against the law and restore the Atchl- BOH & Nebraska road to the state us a com peting line. Among the visitors at Lincoln yesterday was State Senator Holmes , of Johnson county , whoso service to tlio last senate was com-luslvo that ho was not to any remarkable extent an anti-railroad man. In conversa tion upon the topic of the consolltliitlou , Mr. Holmes wild that the question was creat ing much interest in his county and Unit the people- there would endorse judicial nctlon In the matter of the absorption of the Atchison & Nebraska road. Mr. Holmes Raid Uiat his county was nt the present time engaged in the task of paying off the bonds voted the old Atehlson ft Nebraska road and that , since the consolidation , competition in rates wan unknown. In fact immediately following the absorption of the Atchison & Kcbrnska line by the 13. & M. road rates along the line had been advanced. It is a further matter ofhlstory in Johnson county that the people of that locality looked foe brighter days and moro prosperous times in securing the U. & M. line from Nebraska City through Nemnlm county to Teeuinseh , but this line was hardly In the Held until the consolidation was effected and the entire county placed at the mercy of the 13urlington road. Just how merciful that corporation is to a community in its exclusive control is illustrated In their tariff sheet which for years have been n mass of discrimination ngalnst communities in their control. I'awneo county , at points on the oltl Atchison & Nebraska , can tell r tale of high rates put into effect immcdlntclj after the 13. & M. swallowed up the Atchison & Nebraska line , and to the north the pcopk of Boward and David City and the counties of Howard and llutler can tell what effect il had on their prosperity when the 13. & M. do Btroycd competition in that territory. Froir present indications the people iu those locali ties that have suffered most from Ii , & M robbery against the law will make no uucer tain demands that Justice be done at this lak day and that the supreme court passupou tut mutter ut a very early day. WITHOUT IWAKKMHN. A brief circular letter was issued from thi boartl of transportation yesterday. It was it IUIHWIT to a complaint that some of the 13. iS M. brunches operated trains without brake men. Tlio letter was forwarded to all roadi and was as follows : "It has been brought to the notice of tin board of transportation that trains on semi of the railroads in Nebraska are being rut without brukomen. It is the opinion of th < board that public interest , convenience am safety requires ut least ono brakemau-oi each passenger train , and it is hereby re quested by the board that If you have not al ready provided for this you will take immu dlate steps to enforce this request on you road in Nebraska.

THREE INDIAN FIGHTERS. Negroes IMUlaken lor llcdttkinH an Almost Klllinl. Now York Commercial Advertise The thrilling dime novel has not vilest lost its inlluoncoouyoung Now Yorker Lust Friday the voracious readers the penny dreadfuls loft this city to o : terminate the Indians. After a lor travel , one ol them , Adolph Moritz , r turned to his home. No. & 2 cabt Sevo tconth street last night , and announc < that his companions , Harry Gardino of No. 219 west Thirteenth street , at Harry Bunsman , of No. iI5 West So ontoouth street , had deserted him Abhland , Va. , and taken eomo of h funds. Moritz wns the monied man the crowd. Before leaving he hi drawn from the Gorman Savings ban nt Fourteenth street and Fourth uvein $35 , which had been dojxwitod to h credit , under the care of his motho Lost Thursday the bank gave him U without nn order from bin mother anil Mr. Moritz thinks the hank cashier1 acted Illegally and that the money can be recovered. Younff Moritz arrived at his fnthor's restaurant in SovoiiU'enth street last night ut 8 o'clock and was welcomed back as a prodigal. This morning , how ever , his father determined to leurn all the incidents of his son's southern vent ure , looked him up in u room and told him he would not bo released until he made n full statement. At 0 o'clock the statement was furn ished and the young would-bo Indian exterminator was set at liberty. Ac cording to this statement andothcr par ticulars learned from young Moritz , the young renegades had tin eventful ca reer. reer.They left this city early on Friday morning and. arrived at Philadelphia at 10 a. m. There they equipped them selves with revolvers witn which to ex terminate the Indians. They had no particular route in view , but took trains which were most convenient to them , thinking that by traveling straight on ward they would eventually meet with the redsldns. A Washington train happened to bo most convenient. They hoarded it and arrived at the capital about 5 o'clock on Saturday morning. Tlio next train which left the depot was the southern express , whinh started at G o'clock. They bought tickets and started south. Young Moritz says lie thought by this time that the Indians must bo near , so ho and his companions kept their hands on their revolversnnd , as they crossed the Potomac , near Alex andria , and kept watch out of the car windows to put a bullet into any red skins who might appear to waylay and rob the train. No incident occurred , however , until they reached Riehland.u small station in Stafford county , cm the Potomac river. There they noticed a lot of copper-skinned persons standing around the depot. "Theso are tlio Indians , " cried young Ktmsman. "Lot's go off and popper 'em. Tlio young marauders left the train with hands on their revolvers and took their stand at a little frame building just opposite the depot. MoriU was about to give the order to lire when 0 10 of the copper colored men said : l > Dis heuh train am late , ain't it , Sambo ? " "Ptdinwl" said Moritz , "they're npthin' but niggers , just like the fellers in Thompson street. Let's go further. They ain't no Injuns hero. " The young Indian killers had to wait till 6 o'clock in the evening , however. The interval they passed in riding the horse of a negro , Tom Porter , around thq country and whooping things up gen erally. The horse they afterward bought for $5 and started with her toward Frcdorlckshurg , the three aboard. The old mare 'broke down at Aquia creek and the boys hud to foot it to town. From Fredericksburg the hoys went to Cuntralia , whence they all sent letters - tors , home. They loft Contraliu , on Monday for Petersburg , but not finding any Indians there they got disgusted and rode back as far as Ashland. At Ihis point Moritz snys his companions robbed him. Ho had a little money left , however , and with this he man aged to got as far as Trenton , whence ho walked homo , arriving hist night. No news has yet been received of his companions. Mr , Moritz attaches no blnmo to the man Adams , who induced his son to gc to Peouskill two weeks ago wjth the promise of getting the boy a good situa tion. Adams had no connection with the southern trip. Young Moritz said to-day : "There ain't much fun in runnin' away fron : home. Wo couldn't lind a single Injiii and our shooters wore no good. " Mr Moritz says that his boy was induced U run oIT by his two companions win wanted the boy's money. Young Moritz's bank book had beer locked up by his mother , but the boy with the assistance of his companions broke the lock and got the booK. Tin boy is about fifteen years old. lie declares clares ho will never again go to iighl the Indians.

Now York World : Surrounding then were mummies and monsters of ull do scriptions. The man said his name wa Arnold Sohneckonburgerj au Alsacian mid that ho was a naturalist and an a to mist. Said ho : ' 'lam the only man in America win makes thcso fakes , and I believe that . ' excel those in Europe , because most o my work ROCS to Europe prineipall ; France and Spain. My specimens o mummies tire better than natural one because they look moro hideous and las longer. I make all kinds of mummies unicorns , grifllns , dragons ; sphinxes mermaids , bca-serpents and other sub marine monsters. I also make _ liumai bats , gnomesclassic , uionstrositicBdovil ilsh , most devilish , man-faced dogs , tur tie and crocodile boys , octopi and any thing to order ; I did not make the Gui tcau head , but I'm making heads of th Chicago anarchists. " "How did you make that mermaid ? "A strange lisb. was caught and son to Fulton market for exhibition , bought it , cured it , and put humai shoulders , head and arms upon it. Th head , shoulders and arms , whicl you will see are anatomically correct are made of composition. The teet and hair are natural. The skin is hi : man Bkin , prepared and shrivelled by process known only to mo , and the nail or claws I myself make from horn. M man-ox was on exhibition at the Anti Poverty fair and fooled the surgeon who sa\y it. So long as you don't cut o chip my mummies you can't toll thei from those in Central Park. "Tho ground-work of the man-ox i a composition , tlio akin covering th bones is natural but preserved , th teeth are natural , and go is the hail Tlio sinews are mndo of glue and chain ois ; the linger and too nails which loose so natural are made of polibhod lion and the ribs are sheep ribs.Vo call i . a man-ox because it resembles u. man i 1 all hut the body. " The manufacturers of these quec freaks gets orders for all sorts of ur heard-of animals. It is getting to b somewhat the fashion , ho says , to huv a room fitted up in private houses as kind of den where ono or two mythicc animals are exhibited. For instance , young man who has traveled abroa comes homo with a line collection ( views , and with a cartload of momentoc picked up hero and there. He arrange n room so as to show these oil' to th best a'dvantage , nnd then orders a moi maid or something of the kind act to ti a central figure. Ono of the tilings th old man makes very frequently for th ! class of trade is an animal with th body of a woman , the tail of a mermaii the head of a wolf , head of a wol the wiags of an onglo and huma hands.

FIKLD AND 1'AHM. Some Seasonable Hints nml Huggcs- tlonfl. When a hoard gets looo on any farm building fasten it at once. A nail in tlmo saves nine , and perhaps as many feet of lumber. A thrifty farmer pays 50 cents worth of awls , punches , linen thread and shoe maker's wax will save $10 in harness ro- patrs in twelve months. Dusty and moldy food is to ho spec ially avoided , not only for Us effect on the digestive organs , hut for its evil results on the respiratory organs. Lard Is not suitable as a lubricator for axles of wagons , JIB it is said to loosen tha spokes. Wood tar is still largely used , and tallow is also an important ingredient , two parts tallow , one of tar and one of castor oil being considered excellent for cold weather. Do not use old pork barrels for the now pork until they sluul have been thoroughly cleaned. Wash them with boiling water and allow them to dry. Make new brine , and have everything clean and pure before packing the pork after killing. As a rule moro winter diseases occur among poultry from top ventilation in the poultry house than from any other cause. There is nothing moro injurious to the hcns'than cold draughts of air at night. tThough the sheep will consume many kinds of course dry food , yet it is also a dainty animal in pome respects , and should not be confined to inferior food. Oats make the best grain food for sheop. Corn is not a perfect food for a hog. Though rich in tliooo elements that tend to fatten , yet corn is deficient in the hone and muscle-making elements to a certain extent. A mixed diet is best. Grade or impure males of any class of stock should never ho us > od , as the pro geny from such posessho uniform ehur- acU-ribtics. By using grade males no improvement can ho affected. Do not crowd too'many sheep to gether. An open shed , facing south and well-littered at night with clean straw or leaves , will make an excellent shelter for them. It will pay to warm all slop or other soft food given cattle and hogs. Tlio warm water not only stimulates and in vigorates , hut provides warmth for the body. Shelter and warm drinks on very coltl dny.s will save more food than will pay for the labor incurred , while the health of the stock will ho promoted. The object in securing a good breed of hogs should bo to have them quiokly convert the food into meat. The proilt docs not depend upon the size or the quantity consumed , but upon the cost , which depends , after all , upon the rela tive increase of weight in proportion to food consumed. The chicks hatched after September and before January do not grow very rapidly. At this season they bring a very low price , but the merchant * who deal in poultrv buy them , storing them under the coldstorageprocess.and then sell them in February and March as early broilers. When scalding hogs if the water be too hot the hair will not come off as readily us if the temperature bo lower , Boilng water discolors the skin. A tem perature of 150 degrees is warm enough for a young hog , but there are some hogs that require as high as 180 de grees. A slab or smooth surface per mits of the work being done in a cleanci manner than when a rough bench ot table is used. The cream should bo allowed to ripoi before being put in the churn. This ii the mothotl adopted near Elgin. 111. from which is shipped the host buttei that is placed on the market. The cow : in that section receive no treatmeir different from cows clbowhcrp , hut tin most careful attention is given to al the details of hutterniakitig in tin creamery. Dairymen must at some time realizi the fact that the curry-comb and brusl are ns necessary in the cow stable ai they are iu the horse stable. Tlio care ful hostler never allows his horse tt miss a day without a good brushing , ye cows , which need brushing moro thai horses , are never cleaned from one em of the year to the other. The eonse quenco is that in some stables they be come unhealthy , and during millcing : proportion of dirt finds its way into tin milk. These who brush their'cows stati that it pays to do so , as the fiow of mill is thereby increased , the health of tin cows being also promoted. A Virginia farmer , who has been ox ' por'imenting with sorghum as a fodde crop for cows and feeding hogs , find that cows eat it with a relish , cspeciall ; when sown so thickly' that the stalk' are not thicker than a man's finger , am that hogs are not only fond of it , hu grow finely on it. No matter what the breed may ho some individual cows will excel the oth era in milk and butter production , nni on the same quantity and kind of food Tliis is an advantage , and it permits th dairyman to improve his stock by s-ulec tion. If only the best cows should h used for increasing the stockand matci with purebred bullstho profits would b largely increased in a shorttime. . If not in good order now sheep shoul bo put in that shape at once , in readiness ness for winter. Fatten and market th old sheep , and keep only those whio ! are full of vigor. A bushel of corn will do moro goo nowmake moro growth and lay on mor fat , than it will a little later on. t largo percentage will ho used afte n while in keeping the animal warm. Any kind of live stock will doprcciat in value when out short in their rations When a farmer has moro stock than h has pasture for the best plan to pur.su is to dispose of a. part of it to some on who has plenty of grabs or feed.

Mueller , the "Bnynrlaii Hercules , Shows HlK Skill : Now York Times : Robastlnn Muolle the "Bavarian Hercules , " also Icuow us the "Stonehrcakor , " wrestled wit August Schmidt , the low Gernui wrestler , at Concordia hall last nigh in the Grreco-Hpman style , and dofeatc him. Mueller is five foot five inches i height , and weighs 250 pounds. H body is covered with immense muscle which stand out in great ridgOH on h hack and neck and arms , the Intte holng as hard ns wood when the muscles are ICUPO. The pad of the hand , with which ho breaks stones ns easily us a stonecutter does it with hammer , feels like Iron. On the hack of his arm is a big wedge-shaped muscle , rnroly found in any athlete , which mhls great strength. Ho can raise a MO-pound dumb-bell ahovo his head and toss it from hand to hand with oano. His chest measurement is 4(1 ( inches , his biceps are 18 inches around , and his forearm 1(3 ( inches. Ho comes from Munchcn , and , although only twenty-live years old , has defeated the best wrestlers of Europe , including Carl Abs , who wrestled Muldoou to a draw , in the cateh-as-catch-can stylo. Ho has never sulTored defeat. Schmidt , who is well known in this country through his bouts with Koss , Bibby , "The Jap , " and otlie-rs , and his sword contests with Duncan Hess , is thirty-six years old , weighs 100 pounds , and is five inches lullor than Muellerhut of much slighter and moro symmetrical build. The men went at enoh other carefully in the nn > t bout , burying their heads in each other's shoulders , and clasping each other around the neck with ono hand while they sparred with the other for a hack hold. They struggled around the pinull stage , sawing away at each other's neck , and boring e-ach other's shoulders with their heads like two hulls , for thirty minutes , when time was called. The secoml bout lasted not moro than half a minute. Mueller rushed Schmidt across tlio stage , made a quick lungo. and grasping the latter around the small of the back with his left baud , lifted him clear of the floor , and landed him squarely on both shoul ders. In the third bout Semidt turned the tables almost as quickly , lauding Mueller on his.stomach , and whirling him over on his back. The fourth bout lasted twenty-six minutes , and was desperately contested. Schmidt was on his hands and knees three times , but managed by his agility to escape being turned. Finally Mueller got Sohijiidt down. It was evident that Schmidt will hone no match for the stouobroaker when the hitter learns the ( ra'Co-Koinan style , which is new to him. It was said by exports lust night that there is no man in the country who is Mueller's match. Hlioiitiintisiii , is undoubtedly caused by laclid acid in the blood. Thisacid attacks the fibrous tissues , and causes the pains anil aches in the hack , shoulders , knees , ankles , hips , and wrists. Thousands of people have found in Hood's Sursaparilla a positive cure for rheumatism. This medicine by its purifying action neutra lizes the acidity of the blood and also builds up and strengthens the whole body. Tlmt Overcoat Kplsortc. New York Times : H. J. Cullen , of the law firm of Wingato ifc Cullen , ar rived homo yesterday after a summer and fall spent on the continent. At his residence ho teild the story of his con- llict with ox-Secretary .lames G. Blame- on the steps of the \Menna opera house for the possession of a summer overcoat. "Wo were both staying at the Imper ial hotel , Vienna. " Mr. Cullen said , "and it happened that wo both decided one warmish evening in September to visit the opera. We reached tlio stops of the opera house at the same timo. I recognized Mr. Elaine , ns was very natural , and , as we are not acquainted , lie did not , of course , recognize mo. The evening being a little warm , I had en gaged a valet do place to carry my overcoat , and when I reached the opera house , I bade him toss it to me. 1 caught it on the ily , and at the same moment became aware of the fact that Mr. .Bhiino's eye was fixed upon me , and that it was an eye of suspicion. It glanced uneasily from myself to the coat and finally settled , blazing with in dignation , upon the coat. It at once Hashed upon mo that he thought my overcoat was -his overcoat , and this be lief was confirmed when I saw that with the balance of the Blaine party , which was some five steps in advance ol us , was another valet do place carrying an overcoat , about identical with mine , which was of light-colored material with gray silk lining. The situation was so amusing that I determined to let it work itself out. It did so in this way. Mr. Bhiino's indignation at the sup posed seizure of his garment kept grow ing every moment. Ho said nothing , but began staring at me and the coal in a way that , if 1 had not known what was up , would have been quite embarrassing. Finally his impetuos' sitv overcame his roluclanco to take de cided action , and , still preserving si lence , ho grabbed for the coat. I said nothing , hut kept possession of the gar ment. Mr , Blainu then began to make a very lively effort to deprive me of my property , and the scone was reaching ; climax when one of his daughters trip ped down the stairs and , at once divin ing what had happened , said : 'Papa that is not your overcoat. The vtilol has yours. See , here it is. ' The las' ' remark was uttered as the young ladj caught Mr. Bhiino's overcoat from the arm of the valet and handed' it to hei father. "No , Mr. Blaine did not apologize He was too dazed to think of such t thing , I think. I never saw a man s < bewildered in my life. Perhaps hi thought I was an Austrian and wouli not have understood an apology couchei in the English language. " THE PEABODY JU-VtTKU. The publication a few days since of the ' ' letter is fftc-simile of PreaiJeut 1'eabody's still the subject of much comment. It used to bo connldered a question of pro priety to say n kind word of the result of a treatment other than Hint prescribed by a regular practitioner ; and the tlmo was when a man using an advcrtiftd remedy dttl &o nioruor less surreptitiously. However , thw has happily given away to a broader and more liberal view of things , typified in Air. Feabody's frank expression that he knows of no valid reason why commendation ihonld not be equally as hearty in one instance as in the other. Certainly this would appear fair in the face of the facts.

Not long since oneof these dropped n confidential note to a friend requesting three bottle * bo sent for his personal usn immediately , ns without it his hands were "simply no hands at all. but , " continued he , "tut Heaven's salee don't say I said so.

November Cosmopolitan : When th Union Pacific railway was built fret ; Omaha to Cheyenne , in the year ISSU-I it cut through the center of the gren buffalo range , and from it ns a base < : operations the hunters swarmed nortl and south , slaying as they wont. Thu was the great herd cut in twain , novo to ho reunited. The staked plain c Texas presently became the gcographi cal center of the southern herd , iini Glcndlvo , Montana , that of the north ern. In a short time the building n Atehlson , Topeka it Santa Fo and th Kansas Pacific railways thoroughl , opened tip all parts of the southern nitTiilo country , and in 137 ! ) there arose i demand for buffalo robes that proved atal to the species. The war of exter mination began immediately , and tic- ording to the statistics that have been jatherod and published by Colonel ) edge , the years of 1S71I-3 anil1 saw the destruction of over 4,373,78o , bultnlo on 'ho southern range. Thus was his great herd slaughtered out of existence in about , hreo years' timo. The survivors lought reftigo hi tlio desolate wastes of , ho Staked Plain ; hut oven there the olcutluss hunters still pursued them , vhcti bull robes sold for only $1.52o each , mil the cows wcro slaughtered for skins that were worth the paltry sum of only Go cents. This was had enough , mil entirely too hud , hut If I could call it ) before you a vision of the hundreds of thousands of buffaloes that wore icartlessly slain for their tongues or heir humps , or for "sport" (1) ( ) alonoyou vould sicken at the sight. Never In the ilstory of the whole animal kingdom ins there been such another bloody and : ruol carnage , or ono that yielded so 'ittlo in proportion to the total value in- , 'olved. In 1S70 the northern herd was prob- ihly twenty times as large as the soulh- 3rii , and covered twenty times as much orritory. It is estimated by the buffalo uintcrs that there woro600,000 , butTnloos vithin < i radius of ICO miles of Miles ity , Mont , , alone , and that the north ern range contained over u million lead. The Northern Pacific railway was opened for traffic from Glcndive cast- van ! in 1SSO , and the buffalo hunters undo an assault in force on the north ern herd. Buffalo hides were shipped eastward by the railway and the Mis souri river by tens of thousands , until .881 , when tlio work of extermination was complete. In 18S5not a single fresh lido was in the market , and in the year 'olknving only two rewarded the in quiries of the buyers. Tlio buffalo were jone forever , not only from the United states , but from the British Possessions is well. Last vear the largest fur house n Montreal asked from $30 to $10 each 'or robes , and some of the leading fur riers of New York had none at all. Another fact that stares us unpleas antly in the face is1 that with the oxceit- tioir < if the wild buffalo in National park , ill of which will eventually either wan der out or bo frightened out and killed , unless the park is inclosed by a barbed wire fence iu time to prevent it , the national government has not n single "mffalo on any of its reservations , nor inywhorc else in charge of any ono in its employ. In spile of the attention Lhat is being paid in other quarters to the development of our animal products , no steps whatever have been taken to preserve bos Amoricanus from total an nihilation. At all events , it now seems reasonably certain that in three years more there will not bo a wild buffalo re maining on the whol o continent of North America , except in the National park.

From the Cruise of the March Sea : A dance had just ceased as wo arrivedand we took our seats in placid ignorance of what was in store for us. Presently the squeak of the fiddle was heard , and in stantly the ladies rushed in search of partners. There was a great move in the direction of the two Swedes and the rest of the party ; and , as became a mod est old bachelor , I prepared to faire lapissorie with the papas and mammas. But it was destined to lie otherwise , for on raising my eyes 1 found that two fair damsels were suing for the honor ol my hand. * * * The young women wore not beautiful. * * * However , there was no time to be lost. The seal hunter , the American nigger and the tall Swede were already hard at it , and slipping my arm arounil the waist of the- nearest fair one 1 plunged blindly into the dance. The affair was simple enough at first. The dance merely consisted in shuflliny slowly round the room side by side , the gentleman with his loft arm free , the lady accompanying the music with n sort of chant. Time was ot no particulat object , and smoking was permitted ; nut ] as wo had partaken neither of the cran berries nor Uio corn brandy , wo. felt as well as could bo expected under the circumstances. It was not foi long , however. Suddenly the music stopped ; everybody clapped hands ; anil , short and stern , the order rang out in Russian. "Kiss. " There arc moments in which cvon the stoutest spirit quails. I turned a despairing glance on my partner and my heart sank within mo. All hope was gonol Wo all know how in moments of supreme premo emotion the most trivial details become indelibly stamped upon the mind. The scene is now before me. ] saw the rod-haired seal hunter bi-ni : down to meet his fate like a hero , hi ; green tie dangling in the air. 1 saw ; gallant olllcor who had served hni majesty in many climes struggle noblj to tlio last. Slowly my partner's arms down * * * the dragged mo lips stole upward. I nerved myself for i final effort * * * and all was over Before the next dance I had fled.

" CATARRH DESCRIBED. The Symptom * Attending that Disease Which Jjenilfi to Consumption. When catarrh 1ms oxlsted In the lientl nml the Upper part of the tliront for any ImiRth of time the patient living In a district \vhero people are siibjoct to rntarrlml iilli'ctlou and tlio dis ease has been loft unrtirt'd , the catarrh Invari ably , sonit'tlmes slowly , extends down the wind pipe Hint Into'the bronchial tubes , which ; tubo- convoy UIH ulr Into the dlQcreut parts of ths luntjs. The tubes beeoino. atlectod from the swelling and the mucous arising from caturrh , B'ld , In some Instances , become plugKcd up , so that the air cannot cet in an freely an It should. Shortness of breath follow * , and ths patient breathes with labor and dlllictilty. In either raso there Is a Found of crackllnR and wheczlnc Insldo the chest. At this Bin go of the disease thw breathing Is usually more rapid than when in feealth. The patient has also Lot Hashes over the bortv. The pnln which accompanies this condition la of a dull character , felt In the chest , behind the breast bone or under the shoulder blade. Tha pain may come and Ro last a few days and then bo absent for sovenil others. The cough that occurs In the first BtaKoa of bronchial ca tarrh Is dry , comes on at Intervals , hacklnjj In character , and Is usually most troublesome In the morning on rising , or Roinj ; to bed at nliht , and It may bo In the llrst ovldenco of the disease extending Into the lungs. Sometimes there are tits of coughing induced by the toush mucns so violent as to cuubo vom iting. Later on the mucus that Is raised Is found to contain small particles of yellow matt - t r , which indicates that the small tubes In the Injigs are now atToctfd. With this there are of ten streaks of blood mixed with the mucus. In some cases the patient becomes Tery pale , has fever , and expectorates before any cough ap pears. In some cases small masses of choosy sub stance are spit up , which , when pressed between the tinners , emit a bad odor. In other cases par ticles of a hard , chalky nature nrti spit up. The raising of cheesy or chalky lumps indicates &o- rloits mischief at work in the lungs. In some cases catarrh will extend Into tha lUMgs in a few weeks ; In other cases It may bo months , and even years , before the disease at tacks the lungs sulllciently to raiiso serloln In terference with the general health. When the disease has developed to such a point the pa tient Is said to have cntnrrlml consumption. With bronchial catarrh there Is morn or les-t fever wlilch differs with the tllllerent parts of the day slight in the morning , higher In the afternoon and urf SNEEZINGJDATARRH. What It Mcaim , How It Acts , and Wnut It I . You sneeze wtien you get up In the morning you try to sneeze your nose oft uvury tlmo you are exposed to the least draft of air. You havu it fullness over th front of the forehead , ami the nose feels as if there was a plug In each nos tril , which you cannot dislodgo. You blow ymu nose until your cars crack , but It don't do any good , and th ? only result is that YOU succeed in getting up a very red nose , and you so irritate the lining membrane of that organ that yon are unable to breathe through it at all. This Is u cor rect and not overdrawn picture of an acute at tack of catarrh , or "Snoozing Catarrh , " na it la Called. Now. what does this condition indicate ? First n cold that causes mucus to bo txmrodout by the glands in the nose ; then those diseased glands are attacked by swarms of little germs the catarrh germ -that lloat in the air In a lo cality where UIH iliseaso Is prevalent. These an- imalculae. In thnlr etlorts to Ilnd a lodgment , irritate the sensitive membrane lining of the nose and nature nndcitakoi to rid herself ol them by producing a nt of sneezing. When the nose becomes filled with thickened diseased mucus the natural channels for the In troduction of air into the lungs is intcrferix ] with , and the person so airected must broathr through the mouth , and bysii'-h means thf tin out becomes parched itnd dry , munlng ! . produced , and the catarrhal disease t'alni read ) access to the throat an DOCTOR J , CRESAP M'COY ' , Lute of Itcllcruo Hospital , N.
