And the whole world seems goin’ mad!
Why, here, I’ve had four papers sent
That represent the argument
On ev’ry side, and I have tried
To get some hope from them: but no.
Each says the other fellow lied
And the country ain’t got no show
At all if he er his should win
And work his awful standard in
We might as well give up, I guess,
And not work, but jest starve, unless
We do some worser cussedness!

And, yes, the sky is sorter blue.

Jest yisterday, that like enough
Within a year we’d all be dead
If who-there wins? That’s purty tough!
Well, yes. we ain't been sick er that,
And all our stock is strong and fat;
But these speech-fellers says its plain
We’re sure to never rise again.

The same old ;

different. There modern appH- S
I ances lend speed to skill and S

that made the record — 50 years J
of cures. Why don’t we better S
it? Well, we’re much in the f

raspberry: “ Doubtless, ”he J
said, “ God might have made a f
better berry. But doubtless, }
also, He never did. ” Why <
i ' don’t we better the sarsaparilla? I
We can’t. "We are using the f

has not been bettered. And ,
since we make sarsaparilla com- i
pound out of sarsaparilla plant, |
we see no way of improvement. ,
Os course, if we -were making i
I some secret chemical compound
we might.... But we’re not.
We’re making the same old sar

diseases. You can tell it’s the J
same old sarsaparilla be
cause it works the same old
cures. It’s the sovereign blood ’
A BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS.
Oklahoma Territory Officer* Fight the
Gang of “llynamite Dick.”
Guthrie, O. T„ Nov. 3. United
States Deputy Marshal Thomas and
posse came in from the Creek country,
having been in search of “Dynamite
Dick” aud his gang of outlaws, whe
looted Carney and the Sac and Fox
agency.
They brought with them a team of
mules loaded with plunder, aud a sad
dle horse, which they captured. They
came upon three of the outlaws as they
were leading their horses up a ravine,
and a pitched battle ensued.
It was getting dark, and though over
100 shots were fired, nobody was hurt,
and the outlaws escaped in the dark
ness, abandoning mules, bagsrage and
one horse. There is no doubt about
their being the Carney gang, led by
"Dynamite Dick.” A large possee will
give chase.
THE VENEZUELAN DISPUTE.
Messrs. Dilke and Stanley Sar That Great
Britain’s Claims Are Just.
London, Nov. 3. —Sir Charles Dilke,
M. P., who is a, well known authority
on foreign affairs, has written a letter,
in which he says, referring to the An
glo-Venezuelan boundary dispute, that
he entertains no doubt of the validity
of Great Britain’s title to the territory
up to an including Point Barirna.
Mr. Henry M. Stanley, M. P., the Af
rican explorer, has also written a letter,
in which he touches upon the same sub
ject. He says that he has the fullest
confidence in Lord Salisbury’s attitude
in the Venezuelan question.
Canada’s Exports and Imports For a Year.
Ottawa, Nov. 3.—Official figures of
exports and imports for the fiscal year
ended June 30, issued by the govern
ment, show the total foreign trade of
Canada to have been 4139,024,852, com

$110,781,000 in 1895 and exports $121,-
013,852, against $113,638,803 in 1895.

NatolH Oenitsilie Reiinrl.
Rome. Nov. 3.—Cardinal Satolli, in
an interview, declared there was nr
foundation iu the statement that the
diocese of Buffalo is to be raised to the
dignity of a metropolitan see. with ju
risdiction over Rochester, Syracuse and
Elmira, and lie ais >s as unfounded
the statement that Bisti >p Keane, form
erly lector of the Catholic university at
Washniatou. is to be appointed a titular
archbishop. The cardinal added that
all forecasts as to Bishop Keane’s sue
cessor are premature, as the list ot can
didates submitted by the American bish
ops has not yet reached rhe Vatican.
Huelva Not Swept by Ciet.t AVijye.
Madrid, Nov. 3.—The sensational re
port circulated in the United States by
a news agency that the town of Huelva
has been swept by a tidal
Atlantic ocean and that it is known
that the loss of life has been terrible is
untrue. It is also false the steam
ship Cartagena had been overwhelmed
by a great wave and that almost nil per
sons on board of her were drowned.
The two sensations were probably based
on the effects of the cyclone which
swept over Seville ou last Wednesday.

Thomas Benton Owens was wending
his way homeward thinking of—the
days to come, with his hands driven
down deep into his trouser pockets
jingling a number of the “sixteen to
ones,” he spied a ghastly white ob
ject high up on the truss rail of the
Second bridge, and upon
nearing the object discovered it to be
a man en dishabille—in his robe de
nuit—peering intently up, into the
sky. “What are you doing up there in
such a plight?” asked Mr. Owens.
“Why I’m making astronomical obser
vations on the transit of venue,” non
chalantly answered the trouserless
Herschal. “Well,” chuckled Mr.
Owens, a circle of smiles spreading all
over his face like the waves on a pond
when you drop in a rock, “You’d be
more honored in your breeches than
in your observances.” The fellow saw
the point drew in his telescope and
next day bought two pair of those fine
