REMEDY n
For the Cure of Syphilis. '
We will contract to cure Syphilis or refund all money , and pay entireexpense , of coming here , railroad fare , hotel bills , etc , We have never , .
failed to cure the most obstinate cases. Ten days in recent cases does the work. It is the old chronic , deep-seated cases that we solicit. We
have cured hundreds who have been abandoned by physicians and pronounced incurable , and we challenge the world to bring us a case
that we cannot cure.
Since the history of medicine a true specific for Syphilis lias been sought for but never found until our MAGIC REMEDY was discovered ,
and we are justified in saying it is the only remedy in tlie world that will postively cure , because the latest medical works , published by the
best known authorities , say there never was a true specific before. Our reputation as business .men , the company's financial standing , to
gether with the character , reputation and skill of our physicians will bear the most rigid investigation , and the result will justify anyone af
flicted with Syphilis in placing themselves in our hands , All classes of people may consult or correspond with us with the utmost safety as
regards exposure in any way *
We Guarantee to Cure Syphilis in any Stage , Whether Contracted or Hereditary ,
Why waste your .time and money with patent medicines that never had virtue , or doctor with physicians that cannot cure you ? You that
have tried everything else should come to us and get permanent relief. You never can get it elsewhere. Mark what we say , in the end you
must take OUR "MAGIC REMEDY" OR NEVER RECOVER , and you that have been afflicted but a short time should by all means come to us
now. Those who have been afflicted a long time do not generally believe what we say , but we make written contracts to do just what we
say , and our financial standing exceeds $200,000 enough to satisfy the nlost skeptical.
A few days since , we wrote to one of our Chicago patients , inquir
ing as to his health , and received the following answer :
Chicago , 111..Sept. 13th , 1889.
COOK REMEDY COMPANY , Omaha. Neb.
Gentlemen If there is in all this city of a million people , one who is
feeling any better , physically or mentally , than the writer , he should
take unto himself wings and ontcr Heaven , la the fellow who con
sorted with the ravens. The last vestige of the disease lias disappeared ,
and I am feeling finer.than I did at 21. The specific is a miraculous
compound , which puts to shame the wonderous performances of
Alladin's fabled lamp. To one having need of them , every pellet is
worth a year of life. Sincerely Yours , J H .
Immediately on receipt of the above , we wrote him again , asking
permission to use his letters in such a way as not to lead to exposure ,
and received the following reply ;
Chicago , September 17,1889.

Gentlemen Returning to the city after a few days absence , I find
& " *
With the above facts before them , we do not see how anyone can longer doubt the curability of Syphilis or that we have the means of eliminating this virulent
poison irom the system. ' '
P. S. We desire to state emphatically that The Oook Remedy Co. , has no agents , and our Remedy can be Broomed from no one but ourselves. No other -oer-
sons have our formula , or any other formula that will produce the same results.

Just nt present , the longitudinal lines bold
the key to tbe situation in the railway world.
Had nny prediction been made of tills char
acter two months ago , It would have been
scoffed nt by the matter-of-fact men of the
lines running in tbo opposite direction. The
change lu the channels of trafllc has been
the means of a change in the stock markets.
Four mouths ugo the stock of the Chicago ,
Burlington & Northern opened nnd closed
each day with n dull and Inactive market.
Even the preferred stock failed to prove
very nttractivo to the capitalist and specula
tor. When , not long ago , the late President
Touzulln endeavored to negotiate the sale of
the Chicago , UurlJiigton & Northern to the
Chicago , Uurllngton & Qulucy , the latter de
clined , giving us a reason , that no railroad
property ou the verge of bankruptcy was de-
slrublo. As n consequence , the deal fell
through , and now the Q. has an opportunity
to repent. The change in the direction
of tno channel through which the
seaboard und exuort trufllo tins been
moving , bus been the moans of mnkinir
the Chlcngo , Burlington & Northern not
only tlio prime factor ns regards the cstub-
lUhinciit iinu maintenance of through rates
from upper Mississippi river points to the
seaboard on the east , but bus also created a
Btrontr demand for its hitherto demoralized
stocks. Almost similar has been tbo result
ns regards the Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas
City.
' 'Congress should not ignore the nppoal of

disposed of only by congress. It is u ques
tion too extensive for state legislation. This
it self-explanatory. Forlnstuncoaluw might

nuonco would bo that uo foreign cars , inas

The move toward malting the through
rate from Chicago to points west of the Mis-
flourftho sum of the two locals , with the
Missouri river us a basing , is gradually gath
ering strength , not only among the trans-
Missouri mercantile circles , but among the
western lines. Should this bc"t > rought about
the wholesale houses of Omaha , St. Joe ,
Kansas City nnd Sioux City would be
put on nn equal footing with the
wholesale merchants of Chlcngo , us fur as
the tnrill on shipments Is concerned. The
Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road is
the only line nt proscnt that makes its
through rate the sum of the locals. Tno
Union Pncille and the Burlington have thus
far declined to entertain any prouositkm In
that direction. Consequently the wholesale
merchants of this city have boon und are
compelled to submit to undue discrimination.
Uy making u through rate In this way , the
roods would , U is said , bo brought under tbo
jurisdiction of the state commission ns well
us under the inter-state commission , ns re
gards through business for Nebraska points ,
ns the basing point would be the etute Hue ,
also. It is stated on good authority that the
Union Pncille would consent to the change ,
but the Uurlington , its principal competitor ,
opposes the move , and consequently it is
compelled to maintain the rate entublishcd
by the "combination" In order to protect ; its
through business.

"Thut Is a lie , " und the checks or two rail-
ivay magnates paled with anger. From
that time , up to the hour that the llfo spark
of Thomas J. Potter went out , n coolness ex
isted between him nnd P. P. Sliolby. The
assertion was made bv the latter at n meet
ing held lu Chicago. Ho was then assistant
general traffic manager of the Union Pacific ,
uul Mr. Potter was general manager of the
liurlington system. A controversy arose in
wnlch both men widely differed. Ono word
brought on another , and Dually Mr. Sliolby
gave vent to bis opinion lu the foregoing
strong terms. Calmly yut determined Mr ,
Potter replied : "You will see the day , sir ,
that you will regret having made that
remark. " The nicotine1 adjourned
without further uiipleubantnoss , and
the onlcinls returned to their
respective posts of dnltv. Tlio days
rolled by , and Mr. Shelby ittlo know whut
the future hud in store for him , and.no doubt ,
little anticipated the radical change it
brought about. The ability of Mr. Potter
made him u very desirable man. The terms
which induced Mr. Potter to relinquish bis
position with the Burlington and accept the
vlco-prosidcuoy of the Union Pacific are well
known In the railway world. Ho was given
direct control of the Union Pacific , and the
rotlfoniont of Mr. SJiolby followed. It was
clone quietly , and but few individuals are
uvvuro of tno cause that prompted the change.
Mr. Shelby , however , like Mr. Potter , was
made of good material , and was not long in
finding a place in which to ( > xnrciae his abil
ity , lie has since his retirement from the
Union Pacific became tlio assistant general
munngor of the St. Paul. Minneapolis &

Indians , train robbers , poor roudbud , every
thing thut could go to make u trip perilous.
Wo of the present know of but little of th
trials and tribulations that wore exper
ienced by trainmen In early days. 1 have
been compelled to run the gauntlet on ln <
dlans , when I little expected to escape with
uiy life. Thov used to place obstructions on
thu track , and , hud not a lookout been con
ttuuully kepi up , wrecks and loss of lift
would necessarily have followed , bomo-
tiines the Indiana would lay in umbiish , and
when n tram whirled bv they would storm It
with arrows. Near North Platte about dusV
ono evening an urrowcamo crashing through
the window o ( my cab und lodged lu tbo op
posite Bide , Ju t missing tno. Auotbor time ]
wus shot In the loft thigh , the
arrow piercing the flesh nearly to the
bono. Now along with this catnc
the dangerf | encountering tram robbers. II
is bad enough when those follows board i
train and compel IU passongcra , and csuecl
yours of the 16th. First allow me to reassert former assurances , T
am the healthiest and happiest fellow in town , not excepting terri
tory recently annexed. As to my willingness and desire to attest ,
in every way 1 consistently may , the Immediate and miraculous re
sults of your treatment , 1 assure you I should esteem it not only a
pleasure but a duty. But I fear you overestimate my simple ac
knowledgements ot the inestimable benefits I have received. The
letters , us you are aware , were written mainly during treatment ,
when the heroic effects of the specific scarcaly conduced to a frame
of mind suitable for composition , but they recite the facts , which are
all important , and I would cheerfully forego all my lei&ure from daily
occupation , if I might have an opportunity of personally conveying
the blessed truth to every sufferer. 1 have no objection to printing
the correspondence , eliminating any personal mention of names ,
but presenting the glorious truths. 1 will gladly undertake to ans
wer personally any letters asking confirmation ofthe correspondence ,
and do what lean to inspire confidence in your commendable busi
ness methods , and the absolute and wonderful specific action of the
Remedy as evidenced and established in my experience. As intima
ted in one of your letters , I have an intuitive fesling that I am cured
permanently. Never before , while under the treatment of eminent
ally Us express messengers , to bold un their
hands , but the train robbers to bo feared ,
ana we hud to deal with that class largely ,
are those that wreclc n train , jnd rob every
thing uud everybody , dead or alive , during
the excitement. An old-timer could easily
toll the difference between an obstruction
placed on the track by Indians nnd ono
by train-roDbers. Tlio Indians would pile up
debris to the depth of several foot , while the
train-robbers would arrange it so that unless
u close watch was kept up it wpuld bo un
noticed until it was. too late. On one occa
sion , ab'out one hundred und fifty miles west
of Omaha , I discovered what appeared to
rue to bo a polo lying across the track. Wo
know better than to take onv chances , aud I
brought the train to stop. In instituted nn
investigation und found that it was an .iron
rod about two inches thick , nnd Just long
enough to reach across tholruck. There
wus a curve In the road nt that point , und
had I not discovered it I think wo would
have been ditched. I never heard anything
further concerning It , but I have nlwavs
thought It wns placed there by traiu-rob-
bors.

Should Washington secure the location of

another effort will bo made by capitalists

poration of n hotel company wbicli will es
tablish aliostulry with becoming proportions
and dignity to the national capital. A bill
to incorporate a hotel comuany with two or
three million clollnrs capital was defeated
in the last two congresses , and it was Uillod
through the efforts of rival landlords. Al
most nny of tlio western cities of half the
population of Washington uuvo superior
hotels to those here. ' 1 hero are a sufficient
number of hotels ut tlio capital but they are
not up to the demands of the highest class of
patrona.
It Is more than probable that the location
of the building for the world's fair and the
hotel couiuany will bo along together. It is
stated in real estate and miancial circles that
a combination of capitalists Is looking around
for a largo tract of landsuitable-for the loca
tion of the fair building , and that although
the proposed new hotel is not to bo located
in close proximity , it is to bo owned by the
saino people. There is no city in tlio United

WASHINGTON'S ' IU1 > STUEET9.
Considerable ) uneasiness Is being- shown by
BOIHO of the leading merchants in Washing
ton about the condition of the principal
thoroughfares , 'iliu district commissioners
Boino time ago lot contracts for rouspbalting
Pennsylvania avenue , which Is the great
parade thoroughfare of the city , und
fifteenth street , which Joins the avenue ut
tlio treasury department und runs north
ward. These two thoroughfares uiotbo joy
of nil orgunizatlous and meetings wlioro
parades are given , Pennsylvania avenue is
over ono hundred foot' wide , and offers tbo
most inagnlttcont parade grounds to bo found
in the United States within the corporation
of nny city , The contractors have skinned
off the old asphalt over u email portion of
the avenue , and ltboginB , to look aa If they
would only Ret fairly at work when the tri-
ennlol conclave of Knights Toinplar meets
hero three weeks hoiico. If Pennsylvania
avenue und Fifteenth direct should not bu In
condition for tlio Knights Tcuiplnr parade it
would bo u ereat tuisfortutioto the thousands
who will como here from n distance , und it
would bo deeply regretted by all residents of
the national capital.
A demand is bpjng made of tbo commis
sioners that they compel the contractors to
put on a night force of workmen with In
structions to push1 the work of resurfacing
these thoroughfares , and finish the worn by
the 1st of October. This , of rourse , would
necessitate an extra expense to tbo contract
ors , uud they are kinking uu behind.

Whllo a great inuuv inquiries have benn

Knights Templar early next month , those
who have places to rnnt report thai tbo de
mands nro in uo way to bo compared with
those made for the last presidential Inaugur
ation. Ono of ttio principal reasons is that a
great jnany balls have boon hired , and will
bo utilued as camping places by the visitors ,
Nothing of this kind occurred during the In
auguration , The crowd whicu will attend
tbo Knight * Templar meeting will not bo to
large either as wus here during tbo Inaugur
ation. The landlords will get all the inonoy
they can out of tnelr rooms for rent , tad the

Ten days after the treatment , for the first time in six years , not a
trace of the disease was visible or to be felt. In feeling , In the brief in
terval offiReen days , 1 seoned to have grown twenty years younger.
I recall the , to me , most important transaction of my life beginning
with the writing of my first letter ofinquiry , prompted by the sheer
desperation of six years of suffering and unsuccessful treatment to
the happy results so quickly following the live days use of the speci
fic. It seems all to wonderful for realization.
You may rely upon my doing all 1 can for the Remedy , and poor
wretches , who now , more than ever have my sympathy. I feel on
obligation which no amountof money could requite , and ever anx
ious that all having need of the marvelous specific should have the
blessings it can bring. Command me in anyth'ng ' wherein I can
benefit the patient or yourselves. Yours Truly. J H .
To parties desiring it , we will furnish the opportunity for vorrify-
ing the genuineness of the forgoing correspondence. A full discript-
ion of this patient's case and treatment , with all the correspondence
which has passed between him and this office , will soon be pub
lished in phamplet form , and can be hod on application personally
or by letter. It will make interesting reading.
mculs they serve , yet they do not calculate
to receive us larno fees us they did last
March. Boarding bouses are charg
ing from $ i to $3 per day for
rooms und meuls. There nro places where
nccommodiuions are secured if two persons
will occupy the same room , as low us f 1.50
per day for rooms und meals , but these who
expect to receive comfortahlc quarters should
not calculate to pay less than 2.50 per day
for the loom und meals at boarding houses ,
while tlio hotels will Cliargo from 53.53 to $8
a day. ' 1 he weather'in Washington during
the early days In October is generally mng-
nlllconr. 'iho trees will have just begun to

be probably two or throe xveelca later than in
the central states of Ohio , Indiana , Illinois ,
and on that parallel of latitude. Prepara
tions are being made for a splendid time and
people who como need not expect to bo
robbed.
LESS MONEY IV PENSION CLAIMS.
The retirement from the pension ofllco of
Corporal Tanner has renewed interest in the
business of the pension agents in Washing
ton. There was u time wheu very law busi
nesses at the national capital were us luura
live ns that of representing the claims of
soldiers before the pension department.
During the past six or eight years there has
been a steady decline of this business until
at present it is said that tlioro is not more
than ono quarter as much inonoy made out of
pension claims as there was six years ugo.
This fact is largely duo , men ut the pension
olllc-e miy , to the work of men in congress ,
Applicants for pensions have come to under
stand that their senator or member of con
gress can and will push pension claims with
much moro vigor and success than u pension
agent , und it will cost them nothing to have
it done.
Much of the inonoy made by agents In
securing pensions during the past three or
four years has been the result of the labor
of senators and representatives. Pension
agents secure the clientage oC applicants
and take the nrollmlnary stops , but the work
of pushing the claims , tiling additional testi
mony , and all that sort of thing , is , in moro
than two-thirds of the instances , done by
men in congress. When the pensions uro
allowed the agents represent that the success
was duo to their efforts and proceed to col
lect their fees. Nine-tenths of thn claims
before the pension bureau are represented by
attorneys , und four-fifths of the pensions al
lowed como through the QfYorts of men in
coiigiess , of friends who have no financial
Interests involved.
DOT EVEN WITH THE OENE1IAU
In connection with the talk about General
Rosccruns retiring from the registershlp of
the treasury , his commission having expired
and ho having secured the permanent pay of
a briL'udlor-gonerul on the retired list ,
amounting in all to about $8,000 a year , or
SIIKK ) as pensioner and uu equal sum us n
federal oltlcur , it Is remarked by almost
every ono who has run against the gallant old
soldier of late that ho la becoming remarkably
"gingery. " A well-known newspaper reporter
of tbls city wcat Into General Kosccrans1
olllco during the recent discussion of the
proposition to remove the remains of General
Grunt from Hivcrsldo park In New York to
the Arlington cemetery In this city , und
asked him what he thought of the proposi
tion , General Hosccruns has despised the
very name of Grant for a score of years , nnd
ho generally loses his temper when lie hears
It mentioned. General Kosecrans was
stretched out on an easy-elialr.and taking bis
afternoon siesta when the reporter enlerod
tua ofllca of register of the treasury.
"Wlmt do you think of the proposition to
remove General Grant's remains , " was the
way the question was propounded.
( icncral llosecraus opened his eyes , rubbed
them gently , und replied : "Oh , I haven't got
time to say what 1 think about It. "
"Tho reporter , who is somewhat of a wag ,
looked the general In tlio eyes a momentund
gave vent to his feelings by replying !
"Maybe you will have moro time , general ,
wbeu I'rcsldcnt Harrison gets back. "
The door closed behind tbo reporter Just In

The Hon. A.V. . Tonny , of Brooklyn ,
a public man of considerable promi
nence who has become very popular
among' the , people of Now York for his
attitude with regard to the trusts , re
cently delivered an address at the ninth

County Veteran Soldiers' and Sailors'
association and the first annual en
campment of the Women's Relief Corns
and Sons of Veterans at Sodus Point ,
N. Y. , in the course of which ho said :
"Wo want no unjust monopolies nor
oppressive trusts arbitrarily to fix and
control the conditions of trade in this
land. Wo want no unjust or burdon-
eoino rates of transportation from the
grain fields of the west to the markets
of the oast. Fair play , fair trade and
cheap transportation are the demands
of the hour. In the great contest now
going on of the many against the few ,
of the poor against the rich , of the
people against the trusts , I am
for the people and the rights of
the pooplo. Open markets and honest
competition in all the marts of trade ,
and in every product of hand and brain ,
will alone give healthy prosperity to
every citizen of this republic. Evorv
combination , 1 care not its niimo ,
created to enhance the price of a com
modity in the hands of the consumer is
wrong and against our civilization and
should bo driven from our land by the
llcry indignation of an injured people.
Wheat pools in the west , created to enrich -
rich the lew at the hands of the many ,
should bo strained ) at their birth by

a largo bank account who would inako a

thereby increase the prlco to the con
sumer is no bettor than the burcrlur
with his jimmy , or the Nihilist with his
bomb. Liion and all are alilco enemies
to faocioty , to good citizenship and to the
glory and renown of the nubile itsol * .
There are times. I admit , not HO many
now , when wo nro rich as a people as
formerly , when wo were poor , when
concentrated wealth may bo legitimate
and bonollclal to all. My criticism is
upon those attempts now being made
from ono end of the country to the
other to centralize wealth , whereby the
rich are made richer and the poor
poorer ; whereby the weak tradesman
and small agriculturist are driven from
business into bankruptcy and despair ,
and whereby the nocoHsurio * of lifo airo
made dearer to every consumer , riuoh
attempts , I say , are against the policy
of our government , and are onomles to
our American civilization , and should
bo prohibited by law. A man who will
gamble Inheat , or any of the necessaries -
sarios of life , will gamble with the
saorod interests of the homo , the honor
of the individual , und the welfare of
the state , There is lo-day , vir
tually , but ono purchaser of sugar
In this land , and that is the sugar
trust. This trust arbitrarily lixos the
wico of this commodity upon the tables
of the riuh and poor alfko. It has no
competitor ; it can have none. Combi
nation lixes the price , not competition.
The rule of the ages is reversed uy the
modern rule of avarice. It not only
lixcs the nrico to the consumer , but to
the producer as well. Its voice is supreme
premo , and from its decision there Is no
appeal or escape. And what is true of
the sugar trust Is true of every other
trust that has its grasp upon the indus
tries of this people. It is high time the
alarm was sounUncl. It is time the people
plo struck hands together and demanded
of their law-makers legislative cnact-
monts that will inako it impossi
ble for the sugar trust , the lead trust ,
the salt trustor any other trust to exist
in the free air of America.
Already Jinglidh capital , idle and a
beggar at homo , is coming to our shores
and seeking the control of many of the
leading industries of this mighty pee
plo. This should not bo. American
industries should bo owned by Ameri
can capital and controlled by' Ameri
cans , and not by strangers. Whoever
would share in tlic matchlofes oppor
tunities of this growing republic
should bo willing to como here and boone
ono of us , to make our people his ueo-
plo and our God his God. lie should bo
willing to help pay our taxes , light our
battles and bear the burdens of citizen
ship , which are costly and many. If ho
Is not willing to do this , then lot him
stay at homo and hoop his mubclo and
money with him. No English baron
should over bo allowed to fix the price
of a loaf of broad or of n day's ' work in
this country. America for Americana ,
and her industries for hcrpooploshould
bo the watchword of the hour. Lot us
remember wo are living , not in Europe ,
nor in China , nor in India , but in
America , in whoso air there is room for
every wing , room for ovorv
sail , provided they fly a't
the masthead the glittering .1
stars and stripes. Hero , in business and .
enterprise , every man , rich or poor , fa
high or lowmust have an equal chance.
Iloro every branch of industry must 1
stand in equal honor and in equal
dignity witn every other branch of in
dustry , as wo go forth to lay the founda
tion of now states and develop the un
told resources of this great land. That
hero wo have homes , not castles ; school
housesnot barricades ; cmml privileges ,
not inherited rights , That here man'H
possibilities are measured , not by the
vision of the cyo , but by the swoop of
the stars. Ah , my countryman , lot us
take care of such a nation as this and
keep it , with all Its sacred interests , for
that people who believe in its Institu
tions , wiio worship at its shrlno and
who pay allegiance to its Hag.
