The alarming diseaap of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. It goes under
ninny names but it i3 essen-
tially the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tions for nervous patients are
crowded. Tlte average of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess-
ional and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui-
cides, committed without ap-
parent or under so-called
"depressfoir of spiriji,," "are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all tLeir grief and hon'or.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the vpry life of
the natipvt, They asfcaff the
springH of its power and pros-
perity. They wreck manhood's
sstrengtlf and woman's useful-
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
cause*. ' \V hat ar£> they j The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious) personal
habits ] pur careless ana lawless
eating and drinking; the in-
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pov-
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night jpto day; ^4, briefly,
our, desperate ^ifiiiigbess to
pay any price for an hour's
Cleasure ot buccg^.' So we
urn life's candle " at both ends

The disease from which we
suiter and die is, in plain Eng-
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy

troyed, ItOlU tr rftV ) CbfVGS

even "vyh'ea there is'no emaci-
ation to tell tbf; ad stcry. *
Nervous pi-ostratldfi sends
out its warnings:—headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakei ulness;
loss of f,r,^tiii>uud ui<si!'i' i. with
food; Ibss of mental c'<ip>'V;y and

business; restlessness aUd anx-
iety without any assignable

The remedy is a total aban-
donment of tlie habits and cus-
toms which cause the disease
in each individual c?jsp, {^d the
use ot ifiiaA-er Extriici\$ iioots

mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by tlie
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y., is especially adapt-
ed to eradicate Kei;v;u^' Dys-
pepsia." To do this it acts
directly and gently but power-
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
moting the secretion of ti)e, ex-
pelling waste matters ffom the
system,and purifying the blood.

Shaker Extract^Seigel's Syrup)
acts as a safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
the nerves to regain their nat-
ural tang and strength through
its wonderful influence upon
the function of nutrition.
It is safe to say more nerv-
ous dyspeptics have been re-
stored by it from the depths
of misery to a fresh enjoyment
of life and labor than by any
or all other forms of treatment
combined. .....
Henry George For Cleveland
Henry George comes out strong for
Cleveland and tariff reform in this
week's Standard. In a four-column ed-
itorial he shows why the people should
support the Democratic ticket. He
says:
"Mr Cleveland, I believe will be elect-
ed and elected triumphantly. The cam-
paign will be most intense and bitter
for on one side is the strength of a
great principle on the other the power
of enormous special interest appealing
to prejudice,timidity and ignorance. But
however the election may go this nom-
ination is of itself a more important
political event .than any presidental
election scincethat of Abraham Lincoln.
It is perhaps the most important and
significant presidential nomination that
has ever yet taken pjace in the United
States—for even the nomination of
Thomas Jefferson by the Republican
caucus of 1800 did not mean such a com-
ftete change in the attitude of a great
party—such a radical redrawing of the
lines of political issue. With this pqm-
ination what six mouths ago seemed too
good to hope for has become an accom-
plished fact. We have at last got
through with the disturbing and confus-
ing political after-effects of the struggle
for the abolition of industrial slayepr
has now in its first stages coine dcimitely
into practical politics, fhe old era
has passed, and the new one that we
who have counted ahead of our time
have been hoping and striving for is no
longer merely coming—it is here. Not
for this campaign alone but for the fu
ture until they are finally settled, the
questions that must dominate popular
thought and engage political discussion
are the economic questions—the ques-
tions of work and wages, of production
and distribution; the questions that in-
volve the ability of the citizen to get
an independent living; the questions
that underlie mere political questions
and on which depend not only the future
of the Repablic but the future of our
civilization itself. What may he the re",
suit of the first cugngement is of little
moment as compared with the fact
f h:it the struggle has definitely be-
gun."
Regarding his own position in this cam-
paign he has this to say:
"To me, for one the path of duty
seems plain. I shall do what, when
President Cleveland's message was first
issued I said I would do if the hope
■t raised was fulfilled and endeavor to
the extent of my power to aid his elec-
tion. And T shall do this not out of any
regard for Mr. Cleveland -though I feel
piofoundly grateful to him for the great
work he has done in the last six months,
but for the very same reason that made
me accept the nomination of the repre-
senatives of organized labor for the
Mayorality of New York in 1886 and
head the ticket of the united Lobor party
last year. I recognize in the struggle
now begintng against that form of spec-
ial privilege cal led r' protection'' aprhase
and n most important prhase of the strug-
gle for equal rights—for tho emancipa-
tion of labor and the doing away with
degrading and stunting poverty: for the
securing to men of all that a beneficient
Creator has intended that they should
enjoy. I recognise in it the same great
cause of human freedom" whose banner
we raised in New York two years ago
and which a year ago we thought to car-
ry forward by ourselves as best we
could. Audi know that in this I express
the feeling of thousands of earnest men
throughout the country whose aims are
the same as mine. From single tax men
regardless of previous political affiliation
Mr. Cleveland will get an enthusiastic an
steady and ellicient support

Muskogee, I. T., Juno 16.—The south-
bound Missouri Kansas and Texas ex-
press was robbed about nine o'clock
last night at Verdigris bridge. From
parties who were on the train it is learn-
ed that the train had stopped at the bridge
so put off some baggage and had just
ttarted to pull out again when the engi-
neer was covered by a revolver and the
express car was entered. The express
messenger was taken, by suprise as it
being a very warm night the side door
was open. Before he could close it two
men entered the car and robbed him of
abont $7 and one valuable package.
One shot was fired into the mail car, the
bullet passing thrbugh the left arm of
Charles Colton, the' mail agent. Two
shots were fired m ffopt of the smoking
car one going through ^.he right forearm
of Harry .Ryan fcfre ti*in butcher. The
other struck a passenger named Ben
C. Tarver in the left cheek and passing
backward broke his neck causing instant
death. The wounded and dead were
brought to this place but the mail agent
went or south. His was a flesh wound.
Deputy Marshal Tyson and posse are
preparing to give pursuit as soon as they
can cross the Arkansas River. There
were seven men engaged in the robbery.

A Fatal Leap
Temple, Tex, June 20.—One or more
cars in a train going! north on the Mis-
souri Pacifiic Road jumped the track
this afternoon about four miles north of
this city. For safety a man who, \yas
tiding in the QftpoouC jumped to the
ground and in jumping fell so that the
back of bis bead was crushed causing
his brains to ooze out at hjs-ears, Dr.
W. L. Rogers was called at once to the
wounded man but he died in a few mo-
ments after the doctor reached him.
The train went on leaving him in charge
of a section band. After death his body
was brought to Temple and Justice Low-
ay held an inquest. The deceased was
a man of medium size, apparently thirty-
five years old. From papers on his per-
son iiseenis that his name is Alvin Alger
and that he was in charge of a shipment
of horses shipped from Bunge on the
Arans -£Pas8 Road on the 15th inst.
and consigned to Omaha, Neb. His
body is held to await directions from
his relatives or friends who have been
telegraphed of the sad occurence.

Holden, Mo., Jnne 18,—Philip John
son is an engineer on the K. & A. R. R.,
and has lived here a number ot years with
his wife and three children. He is a
member of the Brothehood of Locomotive
Engineers in good standing, and has al-
ways stood well among th e people and
with his coworkers on the road. He is a
loud talker and somewhat erratic, but no
action of his heretofore has caused anyone
to believe him other than a good man.
His oldest child is a girl of 19 years. She
gave birth to a boy baby this morning,
and asked immediately to have an officer
who could take heroath sent to the house.
Mayor Hewos, acting as justice of the
peace, consented to go, and he found a
state of affairs in Johnson's household
that would melt tlie stoutest heart. The
wile and mother was prostrated with grief,
and could say nothing for her sobs and
lamentations over the awtul disgrace
brought on herself and family by her hus-
band.
Tho girl made affidavit that her father
is the father of her child, and that crimi-
nal intimacy had existed between herself
and father for years. She says that in the
beginning her rum was occomplished hy
force and that she had submitted to her
unnatural father since through fear.
A warrant was issued for Johnson,
who has been dubbed "Cyclone Johnson"
by his brother engineers on account of his
fast running. Johnson was out on his
run and some one telegraphed him, or is
is supposed to have done so, to give Hol-
den a wide birth. Another engineer
brought his engine in and he has skipped
out. The railroaders are terribly incens-
ed and it is believed if he should cotnc
back here hp will b,e lynched- Mrs-
JoL.nson is very anxious for the oncers
to catch him. She says she has lived in
torment twenty years with him and she
wants to see him suffer the consequences
of the awful crime as tho law may direct.
Washington, June 17.—The Thurman
bandana, which is likely to figure exten-
sively in the coming campaign, has its
own romance. In 1824, when Thurman
was eleven years old, there arrived in
Cbillicothe, an erratic, but aocomp.lisbed
French emigrant, Einiiy Gregogrie, who
subsequently became known as "the Pro-
fessor." He had been Intended for the
Catholic priesthood, but while in bis stud-
ies for holy orders, he fell desperately in
love with a girl below him in social stand-
ing. Against the entreaties of friends he
abandoned all thought of the priesthood,
and married the girl. He had u>eans,
aud under tl\e. advice of Amerioan agents
in iwis, he concluded to invest in West
Virginia lands. Like the ill fated Blen
nerhassctt, who bought au Island in the
Ohio river, lie thought to establish an
Oriental paradise in the west. His wife
died while giying birth ta a daughter.
Taking tl^e vhiM, the father named it
Virginie,and came with it to found a home
in the New World. Whec he discovered
that his lands were one vast wilderness,
his disappointment was unbonnded. He
wandered about the border Umds of the
West until he r^Jied Cbillicothe, where
he founds employment as a teacher of
French. Mrs. Thurman Allen's mother
heard of him and his ability, and took care
of the child in exchange for French les-
sons for her son. The professor gave
yonng Allen constant instruction, taught
him, the habit of taking, snuff, and also
the French used the handkerchief. At first
Thurman could speak no French, and Gre
gorie no English, but they soon acquired a
vacabularyof phases, and they became
firm finely.1^, liut their fellowship was
short-lived, as Gregorie received a very
favorable offer to go to Lousiana, a prov-
ince at that time of Spain. For a while
Thurman was discon&olated, and even gave
up snuff, but on coming to Congress he
found that the snuff habit was prevalent
and as "snuff" was on the free list he re-
newed the practice. Formerly a wave of
the bandana in Chillicothe mean: "Come
into court." ' Here after it will probably
mean "blow the Deupocratio slogan."'

It has been asked which' travels the

Because any one can catch a cold. It
therefore follows that every one should

Paris, June 18-—Some excitiment was
occasioned in the portion of the city occu-
pied by colored people, and known as
Broadtown, by a tittle shooting scrape
between a man named A. F, T. Polk
preacher and teacher, and another colored
man natped Carl Collins. Polk says he ask-
ed Collins whs told him (Collins) that he
(Polk) had made ccrtain remarks about a
certain colored damsel, and that for
answer Collins drew a pistol and fired.
Polk began to retreat and Colllins fired
four times, onlp slightly wounded Polk on
the thumb.

Senator Palmer of Michigan said:

the situation. "I guess the Depew boom
will fizzle out and the change cannot be
great until that happens. Then we will

Love And Suicide-
Odin, III., June 18.—This little village
has been thrown into a great state of ex-
citement by the suicide of Miss Orrie
Smith, daughter of W. E. Smith, a prom-
inent and well-to do merchant of this
place. She took a large dose ot laudanum
at about 5 o'clok yesterday afternoon,
but the tact was not discovered until two
hours latter, when a letter written by her
was found. The cause of the act was a
lover affair, in which a young man here
by the name ot Lusch figured. It seems
th^t quite an affection had sprung up be-
tween the two young people, which has
for some time been stcadly opposed by
tho parents of tho lady. They were not
allowed to see each other, and this state
of affairs at last became unbearable to
Miss Smith and she determined to end
her life. She wrote a letter to her lover
telling him of her intention and also told
some of her lady friends, but she was not
believed. In her letter she told how she
wanted to b£ &$ssed, who should act as
pall-bearers, etc. It was a deliberately
planned affair and is much regretted by
everyone, as she was a very popular and
estimable young lady,
Washington, June 10.—When the bill
to lc-create the grade of General i>f the
Army was called tin ;.ti the House Mr.
Kilgore, of Texas, was the most peisist-
vttt objector to its consideration, and there
seemed to be no possible chance to induce
him to withdraw his ojection. Sonic head-
strong members tried bulldozing Mr. Kil-
gore, and this made him the more persist-
ent. When c.tbers had tried to move the
Te^an by threats aud pleading without
success, Representative MacDouald, of
Minnesota, a warm friend of Kilgore,
nnder took the task.
"Kilgore,,' said Ma^Uou&hf, "I under-
stand your opposition. It is not manly,
and I surprised at you."
"What do you mean?" inquired Kil-
gore.
"I mean that you ougnt not let that re-
mark of General Sheridan rankle in your
bosom. It was doubtless utterd after a
long Indian campaign, and before yottr
State had growu to its present propo-
tions."
"I am still in the dark," said Kilgore
'and would like for you to explain your
self."
"I mean that General Sheridau once
said if he owned hell and Texas he would
rent out Texas and live in hell- Now,
that was rough on Texas - but I am sure
he would ehango his views if he could
vis't yoa now"
Kilgore laughed heartily, and remarked :
"Well I'll change my views and withdraw
my objection."
He did so, and the bill passed.—Cincin-
natti Commercial Gasette.
A Double Tradegy.
News has been received at Gainesville,
Tex.^from Kialiga Springs, Choctaw Na-
tion, of a terrible tragedy which took
place in the locality above mentioned
last Friday, One John Smith, a young
white man and farmer living in this neigh-
borhood, recently became quite intimate
with Mrs. Allen, the wife of a ueighbor
while Allen was away from home. Oil
Thursday, Smith and Mrs. Allen eloped.
On the husband's return he learned of the
affair and immediately armed fhimself
with a Winchester and persued tlie elan-
destine couple. He overtook them some-
time during the afternoon on Friday, aud
at oncc opened fire on them with his Win-
chester, riddling their bodies with bullets,
leaving their dead bodies where he slew
them. He returned to his hou5e where he
traded his growing crops for a horse and
saddle aud left for parts unknown.

lock of the book-ease and turn it. But

"What the-duee was that." He would
look at his h-.tn-.l and see only a stuall,
dark blue spot. He would think nothing
of it but all of a sudden he would tiegiii
to feel queer in his Imad. Presently
some one would come in aud find him in
a lit on the floor and the household
would be alarmed. "Mr. John has had
