monument to be uuve'led at Paris on
July 4th. It is to made a popular

this and other states have contributed
their portion. Pennsylvania gives
$3,015.55, and of this amount the
public schools of this county con

Mahanoy City, $10.94; Ashland, 15;

The Democratic Jonah.
From New York Journal.
So they took up Jonah, and-cast
him forth into the sea; and the sea
ceased from raging. Jonah i., 1C
It was hard on Jonah, but justifi
able, under the circumstances. And
the example of Jonah's shipmates
contains a lesson for modern naviga
tors in similar straits.
The Democratic party, for Instance,
is navigating a stormy sea. The ship
is stanch and well found, and the
crew is loyal, but tho elements seem
adverse. Nobody knows what may
happen next. There are rocks and,
breakers ahead, and navigation in a
howling gale is precarious.
There is a Jonah on board the
Democratic ship, and there is reason
to believe that if he were thrown
overboard the sea would "cease her
raging." He is called Small Ameri
canism. If there were no possibility
of Identifying the Democracy with
the policy of opposition .to national
growth the outlook forDemocratic
success next year would be exceed
ingly bright.

A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep
tive. It comes on so slowly yet surely mat it
is often firmly seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct singes is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back,
rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with a burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, tip's reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
navel and the water passage, increasing de
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
pasiing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stare is Blight's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that Dr,
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvelous cures of-the most distressing
ca;js,aud known as Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Koot.
It is sold by all druggists.
As a proof of the wonderful virtues of this
great discovery, Swamp-Root, a sample bottle
and book of valuable information will be sent
absolutely free by mail on application to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When

a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr. II. E. Thompson, of MillodgeTille, Ga., writes : "A
bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck,
which had to bo lanoed and caused me much suffering. I
was treated for a long whllo, liut the physicians were un
ablo to cure me, ana my condition was as bad as when I
began their treatment Many blood remedies were used,
but without effect. Some one recommended S. S. 8., and
I bogan to improve as soon as I hod taken a few bottles.
uonunuing tne romeuy, 1 was soon cured permanently,
and havo never had a sign of the disease to return." Swift's Specific
S. S. S. FOR THE BLQOD
Is the only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate, deep-seated
blood diseases. By relying upon it, and not experimenting with the various
so-called tonics, etc, ail sufferers fromlilood troubles can be promptly cured
Instead of enduring years of Buffering which gradually but surely undermines
tho constitution. 8. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetablo, and nevor fails to
cure Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Itheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Bolls,
Tetter, Pimples, Sores, Ulcers, etc. Insist upon B. S. 8. 5 nothing can take Its place!

Some Foolish People
Allow a cough to run until it gets beyond the
reach of medicine. They often say, "Oh, it
will wear away," but in most cases it will
wear them away. Could they be induced to
try the successful medicine called Kemp's
Balsam, which is sold on a positive guarantee
to cure, they would immediately see the ex
cellent effect after taking the first dose. Price
