The Democrats of Chicago started
the 1900 ball rolling last week, by
electing their candidate mayor of that
city by a handsome majority. This
is only a forerunner of the land slide
that will occur four years hence un
less that promised prosperity makes
its appearance pretty saon.
Horrors 1 President McKinley de
serted "his post before he had been
in the White House two months, to
take a pleasure trip on the govern
ment despatch boat Dolphin. And
the people foot the bill. When Cleve
land was President he occasionally
took these trips, and there was no end
of howling from the republican organs.
Now that McKinley has done the
same thing, they haven't a word to
say against it. Where is the differ
ence? Ex-Senator Daniel W. Voorhees
died in Washington last week. He
was familiarly known as the "Tall
Sycamore of the Wabash." He was
a valiant Democratic leader for many
years.
William J. Bryan has received for
the first month's royalty on the sale
of his book, entitled: "The First
Battle," $6,000. This is proof that
the book is being read.'
A neighboring editor, on reading
that a young lady in New York
kneads bread with her gloves on, in
dulged in the following soliloquy : "It
is said that a New York girl kneads
bread with her gloves on, but this is
not strange to us. We need bread
with our boots Qn t we need bread
with our pants on j and if those sub
scribers who are in arrears don't pay
up pretty soon, we will need bread
without any thing on."
Scrofula
Face Broke Out With Sores-Weak
and Sickly Until Hood's Sarsa
parllla Made Him Well.
" My little son was afflicted with scrof
ula sores and be was weak and sickly.
Our physician recommended Hood's Sar
saparilla and I bought a bottle. Before he
had taken all of this bottle his (ace began
to breuk out with sores and one side ot
his face was nearly all one solid sore. I
continued giving him Hood's Snrsaparilla
until he had taken two bottles. The sores
were then healed and he has been well and
hearty ever since." Z. W. SMITH, Big
Shanty, Pennsylvania.
" Everything I ate seemed to produce gas
in my stomach. I was growing worse and
friends advised me to take Hood's Sarsa
parilla. When I had taken four bottles I
was able to eat and feel no distress. I
could attend to my household duties with
out the fatigue I formerly felt." ADA
