A BIG FIGHT FOR A SEAT.
THE CLAYTON • BRECKINRIDGE
CASE UP IN THE HOUSE.
Lacey Calls It Up and Cooper Opens
the Debate With a Criticism on the
Report of the Minority—A Proof
Sheet Surreptitiously Obtained by
the Republicans.
Washington, Sept. 2. —ln the House to
day Mr. Lacey of lowa called up and the
House proceeded to consideration of the
Clay ton-Breckinridge election case.
Mr. Cooper of Ohio opened the debate,
premising his argument on the case with a
brief criticism of the minority report. In
auch words as “discourtesy, unfairness,
neglect of duty, bad faith, suppression of
testimony and connivance at crime, 1 the
minority report, signed by every demo
cratic member of the committee, reflected
up >n their colleagues of the majority. He
would not dignify this assault by a reply to
it, but he was unpleasantly surprised at it.
SLIPPED UPON A ROUGH PROOF.
Mr. Crisp of Georgia said that the words
the gentleman had read did not contain the
the viewsof the minority as finally presented
to the House. The gentleman was probably
reading from a proof slip.
Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania—Whom
views do they represent?
Mr. Crisp—The gentleman will excuse
me. The views of the minority are before
the House in printed form, which
every gentleman can see for himself. If
there be some proof slips which
some gentleman has obtained surreptitiously
or otherwise from the printing office t hat is
another matter.
COOPER NOT SATISFIED.
Mr. Cooper submitted whether, when a
paper of that kind had been filed and
printed, when it had been given to the
Associated Press and printed all over the
country, it was sufficient amende honorar
ble afterward to amend and expand
it. Who was it that had drawn up tbe
report, whose brain had inspired and whose
pen had indited it?
THE CHARGE OF FRAUD.
The first branch of the case taken up by
Mr. Cooper was tbe charge of fraud and
intimidation which the testimony showed,
according to the opinion of the majority,
had been resorted to in order to carry the
Second congressional district of Arkansas
for Mr. Breckinridge. It was tbe opinion
of the majority that tbe murder grew di
rectly out of the political methods adopted
in that country. In that view the majority
but echoed the almost universal sentiment of
all sections. Ballot- box stealing and stuffl ng,
intimidation and murder naturally followed
each other. Continual violation of the
constitution and of the Jstate law aud of
tbe rights of citizens was a natural indica
tion to the evil disposed to violate all law
and trample the rights of all men at all
times. Could there be a greater blessing to
this nation, and especially to the people
who were afflicted by these methods, than
their ending? It was the supreme duty of
this congress to enact snch legislation as
would terminate those methods by remov
ing the inducements therefor. In conclusion
he passed a high encomium ou [the people
and state of Arkansas, contending that if
tbe election methods in vogue in that state
were abandoned the commonwealth would
soon be alive with industry and manufact
ures.
WILSON JOINS IN THE PENEGYRIC.
Mr. Wilson of Missouri joined with tbe gen
tleman from Ohio in his panegyric upon the
people of Arkansas, but he regretted that
the gentlemen only to-day discovered how
good the people of Arkansas were. If he
had discovered it sooner he could never
have signed the majority report. Did any
man believe that Mr. Breckinridge or the
people of Arkansas (outside of the people
who committed the crime? ever dream of
the murder of Clayton? The majority, in
its report, sought to convey the impression
that this was an organized murder, and
that the people of Arkansas had
adopted murder as a favorite political
mode and measure. The murderers were
spoken of as friends and companions of Mr.
Breckinridge. Was there anything in the
gentleman's character, public or private,
that would justify the bitterest partisan in
ch rging that Clifton R. Breckinridge
would take advantage of a foul murder for
brief political prestige? And yet it was
charged that such was the case. The mi
nority resented the imputation.
THE STOLEN PROOF.
Commenting upon the words quoted by
Mr. Cooper as from the minority report, he
denied that the report contained them. They
were in a rough draft which was the pri
vate property of the minority. This rougu
draft had been printed for the convenience
of t e members of the minority in drafting
their final report, What authority had the
gentleman from Ohio to peer into the pri
vate affairs of the committee? The draft
was a private paper until it received the
official indorsement of the minority.
He theu proceeded to criticise the method of
the committee in pursuing the investiga
tion. The history of this contest, as found
in the Record, showed to the world that the
members of the committee who went to
Arkansas went not as investigators, but
practically as attorneys of the friends of
the dead, prosecuting Mr. Breckinridge.
Mr. Wilson asked that the case be reinvest
igated as simple justice, so as to afford Mr.
Breckinridge the privileges given the pros
ecutor, that man of many names, but most
commonly known as “Poker Jack” Mc-
Clure.
Mr. Bergen spoke in support of the major
ity report, declaring the seat vacant.
THE CASE GOES OVER.
The case then went over until to-morrow,
and Mr. Cannon took the floor in a state
ment relative to the appropriations made
by this session of congress.
Mr. Sayers, a member of the appropria
tions committee, reviewed the financial
situation from a democratic standpoint.

QUEER WESTERN DUELS.
Fighting With the Hiata -Peel's Des
perate Encounter.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
The riata duel is not anew thing on the
Mexican frontier. Indeed there is hardly a
big cattle range any where that has not its
s.ories of hard fights with the lasso. Such
duels are bound to be fierce. Bit so skilful
and quick do these rope throwers become
that such a duel not unfrequently lasts for
hours.
Probably the best-remembered fight of
this sort was that between a Texall known
as Kid Long and a little Mexican who was
only spoken of as “Gabilan” —hawk—on the
great Lievre range. Thev circled around
each other, doling the rapid throws, from
10 o'clock in the morning until after sunset.
When the horses bad almost given out the
Texan threw at his ad versa y, who threw
back 8 > that his no we passed right over the
other man’s lasso and hand, and caught him
fair around the neck and under the armpit.
Iu almost no time Kid was out of his saddle
and being dragge i over the ground at a rate
that knocked the life out of him before he
had gone a hundred yards.
The west, during its wild and woolly
days, and tbe Mexican frontier have had
many remarkable duels. That between
“Farmer” Peel and a soldier, near one of
the forts in Utah, is ami ng the classics of
the field of honor—or what has answered
for that in the cow towns and mining camp.
The weapons were rifles, revolvers and
bowie knives. The principals werejjplaced
on opposite sides of a hillock, around which
ran a road, aud started to meet. The curve
of tbe hill prevented their seeing one
another until they were within a hundred
yards. As soon as they saw one another
they both fired. Though part of the rim
of Peel’s hat was cut off, and the sol
dier’s sleeve was pierced, neither was
hurt. Then they pulled their pistols and
advanced, firing. Boto dropped badly
wounded when less than twenty yards sep
arated them. They lay there squirming
and shooting nntil both had emptied their
weapous. Peel was desperately hurt and
his adversary bad one ball through the
stomach and several others distributed all
over his anatomy. When they oould shoot
no more they lay for a short time swearing.
Then Peel, who was so badly hurt that he
could not advauce even on his hands and
knees, began to wriggle toward the fallen
soldier. He pulled himself along with his
elbows, ami with one uninjured hand fin
ished the soldier with bis bowie knife.
Farmer Peel already had the biggest
private graveyard of any man in the
vicinity. This encounter spread his fame
all over the coast, and when he went over
to Nevada he received everywhere the
homage of lesser lights.
They have lots of deadly encounters up
there on the Comstock. There was one a
number of years ago fought over half a
mile under ground. According to the evi
dence given at the inquest by the surveyor,
the two miners wore working alone in a
drift. They were rivals for tbe affections
of a woman, and in a quarrel one made a
drive at the other with his candle
stick. A miner’s candlestick consists
of a metal socket attached to a sharp sceel
spike, so that it can be stuck in the face of
the drift any where. Tbe second miner de
fended himself with his candlestick, and
there, thousand* of feet under the ground,
they wrestled and stabbed until one’s life
was gone. As they did not come up when
they should have gone off shift others went
down in search of them. They found one
dead and tbe other uno mscious through loss
of blood. The jury, of course, had to take
the survivor’s story of the affair, and he
was acquitted.
A little blind canyon in the Sierra Madre
used to furnish the Apachee with the means
of formally settling their disputes. This
gulch is fairly alive with rattlesnakes.
W hen two bucks had a quarrel that they
did not wish to settle off-hand they repaired
to this gully, and while the remainder of
the tribe stoodteround and watched from the
hills on either side, the combatants went
together to where the serpents were thick
est. There, stark naked und weaponless,
they would wrestle. This would wake up
every rattler in the glen. The aim of each
was to force the othpr on to the angry
snakes. It was not unusual for both to be
bitten while they struggled and rolled
among the rocks. Each was bound to re
main and w restle as loDg as his adversary
had life or strength enough to struggle with
him.
A most remarkable duel was fought at
las Carnitas, N. M., many years ago. ' An
undersized stranger came to the town and
picked a quarrel with “Handsome Harry,”
a gambler renowned as a dead shot. They
got out into the road and both fell mortally
wounded. It was discovered that the
stranger was a woman, and though she
never spoke after she fell, the story became
known that she was a sister of a girl whom
"Handsome Harry” had wronged years be
fore.
The Census of Cheese.
FVom the Buffalo Times.
Cheese alive? Of course! Didn’t you
know that before? Cheese is about as lively
as vinegar, and everybody knows that
vinegar is full of rniorosoopical snakes. And
you know that yeast is fuilof eels, so small
t hat it takes a microscope to see them, aud
that the excellent drinking water that we
get from Lake Erie is full of the livliest
kind of little wrigglers that you gulp down
by the thousands without ever suspecting
that you are drinking anything but the
purest liquid? But to return to the cheese.
Somebody has been taking the census of a
piece of cheese, a id gives us the result in
round numbers. He finds the population of
Eminenthal, a sort of Gruyere, to be as fol
lows: In each gramme of the cheese, when
fresh, from 90,009 to 140,000 microbes are
found. This number increases with time.
A cheese seventy-one days old contains
800,000 bacteria per gramme. A soft cheese
twenty-five day’s old und much denser thau
the preceding has 1,200,00 J microbes per
gramme. The centre is freer than the out
side. A cheese near the periphery has from
3,600,000 to 5,600,000 microbes. According
to the mean of these two figures there are
as many living organisms in 360 grammes
of such a cheese ns there are people upon
the earth. However, don’t let these figures
disturb you. Keep right on eating cheese
just as you always have.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. 1890.
TO TRY IT IS THE SOUTH.
THE BELLAMY PLAN TO BE TESTED
IN LOUISIANA.
The Dee Molnee Colony Will Transfer
Their Experiment to a More Conge
nial Soil.
Secretary Ernest B. Gaston of the Social
istic and Co-operative Company, organized
in Des Moines on the ideas of Edward Bel
lamy, started in company with E. D. Smith
for Louisiana recently, says the St. Louis
Globe- Democrat, to look up a location for
the colony. Before starting be stated to a
reporter:
“We have no authority to bind the com
pany in any way, but are expected to in
vestigate the merits of tbe various points
of the country visited. Our report will be
submitted to all the members of the com
pany, and a final location determined by a
majority vote, after careful investigation
and study of the advantages of different
sections of the country. The projectors
have unanimously decided that the new
south is the most promising field fop its
operations. We expect to go to New Iberia,
in the southern portion of Louisiana, where,
we understand, there is a large body
of fertile land which we can get very
cheap. The project is in such shape now
that I can safely say that the colony will be
started. Just how many families we will
take with us it is hard to state, as we have
received many letters from people who con
template joining, yet who have not had
time to take the necessary steps. From
this city about ten families go by the middle
or last of October, and I think there will be
fifteen more from other localities. I have
received letters from nearly every state in
the union inquiring about the plans, with a
view to becoming members. Some of them
are, of course, from cranks. The most of
them seem to be in earnest.
"There need be no fears of too many.
Fifty men can, by association of capital
and division and systematization of their
labor, accomplish 100 times as much as one
man can alone. We hold that all wealth is
the product of labor expended on natural
resources, and that the community of a
state should held these natural resources in
trust for the benefit of the whole people,
and that every man should have the oppor
tunity to labor thereon. We hold, further,
that, as it is only through society and asso
ciation that man can do effective labor and
receive the benefit of that diversification of
Industrie! which makes comfort and luxuries
possible,Nthat he cares for the maintenance
of society in proportion to the benefit he has
received. Under our plan, the man of sim
ple tastes can work enough to satisfy his de
sires, and the other will be compelled to
work as much more as their tastes are more
oxpensive. No restrictions are placed upon
the manner In which any member may use
his earnings, except that he cannot use them
to oppress some other member. He cannot
bay company land and charge the company
or any other member thereof rental. He
may not loan at interest to the com
pany or member thereof. He may not
engage in private production for
profit, employ his fellow members and
make a profit off of their work, but he may
use it in any manner that gives him pleas
ure and harms no one else. He may buy and
drive fast horses; he may entertain expen
sively ; he may gather around him works of
art and thing of beauty; he may give to his
friends or bequeath to his heirs. Each
member will own his own house, have his
family life. Of course he will build on com
pany ground, but if he leaves he will be paid
the value of his improvements. In one
sense it ought to be called a business enter
prise.
“It will ba an industrial and productive
community in the strictest sense In the work
of getting a liviug. We’ll be united, and no
member will be allowed to compete with
the society. Ours will be a communistic
society, just as railway companies are. As
to the details of our organization, we are
organized into a joint stock compamy: our
declared objects are, ns far as possible, to
secure the organization wherein between
the members It shall be unlawful to take
interest, profit or rent; where all labor
shall be systematized aud shall be
paid its full value; where tbe administra
tion of affairs shall be democratic and fully
within the control of the members. The
company will acquire lands, machinery,
stock and merchandise, engage in agricult
ure, fruit, stock raising, manufacturing
and merchandising; will lay out towns and
villages, erect public and private buildings,
erect water, gas and eleotrlo light works;
build, equip and operate lines of
transportation and communication, ei
tablish proper methods of distribution,
transportation and storage. Establish a
just system of credit, acoouut and ex
change; issue script to its memliers in pay
ment for services rendered or material fur
nished the company, provide for the arbi
tration a id just settlement of disputes be
tween its members; enforce its rules and
regulations by suitable penalties, and pro
vide for the education of its members and
their families in proper phvsicial, menial,
moral and artistic lines.
"The man may bold one share and it is
non-transferable, merely entitling the
holder thereof to residence and employ
ment on the grounds of the colony and an
equal share in the possession and privileges
or the ci mpany. Wives of members are
entitled to become members, but have no
vote. Thero will be a schedule of rates of
w ages fixed according to the kind of lab r
skill required and the laws of supply and
demand. The company will keen a store
at which purchases may be made with
company’s time checks. There will be no
other store permitted. No member of the
company may employ any other member,
except as a physician, miuister, or domestic.
There is no religious object in view; eacli
member will be entirely free to thiuk as he
pleases.”
HIS TURTLE KNEW HIM.
Mr. Brobaska Renews His Relations
with a Former Pet.
From the Ctrur d'A’ene City Times.
J. H. Brobaska, the well-known ex-con
ductor of the Northern Pacific railroad, ig
noted for his fondness for dumb animalg
of every description, and it he bad retained
all the ’’pets” he has possessed at various
times, he would have a fair start in the way
of a zoological garden of his own. Proba
bly the most no .el of all his experience in
this line—as related by himself—recently
occurred on the lake near this city.
Home time last summer, while strolling
about Coeur d’Alene’s suburbs, he came
across two small turtles, lively little fellows
of the water species, and succeeded in
capturing them. He placed them in bis
coat pocket, took them to Spokane Falls,
and there provided them with a miniature
aquarium in bis room and commenced their
domestication and education. One of them
the tutor named “Pat” and the other one
he called “Pete.” Pat had evidently at
some time in his life been a hod-carrier, for
on his back was a white spot as if caused by
a drop of plaster falling upon it. As winter
approached, aud Mr. Brobaska was absent
from his room a great portion of the time,
he became solicitous for the welfare of his
proteges, and finally determined to bring
them back to the Coeur d’Alene lake and
set them free. Accordingly they were again
placed in his pocket and in due time returned
to their native element. *
A few da.s ago, while Mr. Brobaska and
some friends were rowing up the lake, the
former espied a small turtle swimming
upon the surface a short distance from
them. He instantly stretched out his hand
to the uncouth voyager and called out:
“Pete, Pete, corns here, old boy!” but, as
the summons was not obeyed, he changed
the salutation to “Pat, Pat.” At the pro
nunciation of the magic name the little
paddler stretched out his neck, turned his
head, and, as the call as repeat 'd, changed
his course and swam fearlessly to the boat,
where be climbed into his master's hand,
was placed in the latter’s p >eket, and has
again become a citizen of Spokane Falls.
Mr. Brobaska hopes in time to fiud “Pete”
again and recover him in the same way.
JOURNALISM IN THE •‘BUSH.’’
Queer Method of Getting Out a News
paper a Decade Ago in Australia
From the Fhiladelpl.ia Inquirer.
Some carious stories were told yesterday
to an Inquirer reporter by John Baaczinski,
a clever Russian-Englishman, of bis expe
riences in the “bush” of Australia, the most
unique being his experience as “journalist”
on the "big ;gla d.” Mr. Barczinski, who is
also a remarkably clever artist, is now con
nected with the Readi g railroad, and tnis
is the way he told his tale of woe: t
"There is probably no more fitting ex
ample of tue two s.des of life, civilized and
uncivilized, than in Australia. The lager
cities teem with all tbe most modern im
provements, in the laying our of the cites
themselves, in their buildings, in the . sim
tary conveniences, in all tne progress! ve
uess whica adds to the enjoymeut of cul
tured aud artistic Iffe. But for simplicity,
for the most modest of modest atti active
ness one must go tbe ‘bush’ settlements,
the ‘up country* t >wns. It was in one of
these that I made my dehut in the profes
sion of journalism.
“Bulltown was a town of some 300 inhab
itants, in the northern part of New South
Wales. It was the center of a large ‘cattle
station’ district—the market of all sur
rounding squatters. Being forty-five miles
from the nearest towr., with a mail service
of but once a week, which, more often than
not, strung itself out to once iu two weeks,
it depended largely on its own resource! for
the circulation of outside news, with occa
sionally a glimpse from the outside world.
This was printed, published and bandeu
down to posterity through the medium of
the Bulltown Badger. Outside of the
monthly cattle sales, there was no day so
greatly appreciated and looked forward to
as Saturday—the advertised day of publi
cation. And there was a certain spice of
expectancy and doubt connected with this
dav.
“The query was: Would the intelligent
citizen have "the Badger to pore over on
Sunday, or would he have to wait, as some
times happened, until the following Mon
day? It all depended upon the amount of
‘pi’ made when the type of the previous
week’s edition was distributed. Now, ‘pi’
is generally the result of carelessness, but in
this instance it was uniquely a matter of
‘nerves.’ Benjamin Beutly Young, or. as
he was oftener styled, ‘Old Young,’ was
proprietor, publisher, printer and compos
itor of the Badger— and I was the editor,
business a :d advertising manager and staff
of reporters, all combiued in the one person.
Benjamin Bently would open his eyes in
surprise could ho but see the ingenious de
vices and contrivances of a modern printing
establishment. His was of the simplest. A
cabin divided into two compartments did
duty as office, workroom and ‘home.’
“The press was of the most ancient s ylo,
worked with many growings and crvaß l igs
of both man and machine. Steam or water
power would have speedily ended the days
of the latter—even foot power was un
known to it. But even more remarkable
was, what I must call for a better name tbe
[case.’ Around the room on nails driven
into the wall hung some 200 canvas bags of
type, each labeled according to its contents.
As soon as the ‘matter’ was all in old
Young wouMJsquat down si.lor fashion cn
the floor and chalk out on the bare
boards a rough plan of the ordinary
case. Then he would empty his bags into
the allotted spaces and begin work. Years
of practice had made him supremely cailous
to such a tedious and wearying process, and
It was a remarkable sight to watch his body
swaying backward aud forward with a
regular swing as he rapidly filled his
‘stick.’ But, and nobody will dispute it, I
think, if this was a remarkable feat, more re
markable still was the accuracy with which
he distributed his type, nfter the Badger
was successfully launched to ride the waters
of newspaper enterprise. If Benjamin
were sober, then the following week’s edi
tion would appear promptly—very few, in
deed, of the metal letters would be thrown
over the chalk boundary intended to hold
them; but Benjamin had a fondness for tbe
‘little brown jug,’ and, after too much
over-indulgence, the chalk marks were of
iittle account and “pi" was made galore 1
“Benjamin had a mildor way of putting
It—he was never drunk, only ‘nervous.’
But this state of things could not keep up
in a growing country. The Badger held
its sway for five years, then a gold mine
was opened in the vicinity, a railroad was
built, and with it came an influx of
strangers, An enterprising yanke? started
an opposition paper, worked it on more
modern principles and from its first appear
ance the Badger was doomed. Old Young
hung on for a time, but finally gave it up
and disappeared forever from Bulltown,”
MOUNT ZION CAMP-GROUND.
When It Was Inaugurated and How it
Has Been Conducted Since.
From the Griffin (Ga.) News.
On Wednesday the meeting at Mount
Zion camp ground clcsed after one of the
most quiet and orderly meetings ever known
in the history of the series of meetings.
In 1834 the camp meeting was inaugu
rated at Mt. Zion camp ground by a small
party of religious people who were deter
mined to advance the cause of Christianity,
and they so far succeeded as to secure a lot
of land, :302 1 j' acres, that was to be forever
consecrated to that purpose. The first trus
tees elected were \Vm. H. Simmons, John
Simmons, J. R. Callaway, Robt. H. Bonner,
Geo. P. Parker.
The date of their annual meeting was
fixed permanently for the fourth Sunday in
August, and though no one remembers the
minister who preached the dedication ser
mon, still there are enough left who were
youug boys to remember and venerate the
first services held there.
From 1834 to 18151 services were held at
this camp ground continuously, but after
that time the civil war caused the good
work to be abandoned until 1878, when the
meeting was reorganized, and new tents
were built by the people who had preserved
the memory of those who had taken one of
the first steps to preserve aud keep alive the
principles set forth by the “Man of Naza
reth.’’
In 1880 a splendid revival was held on the
grounds, ami Rev. John W. Heidt, at the
instigation of other Christians, raised' a
fuud for the building of another arbor,
which would seat comfortably all who at
tend these meetings. He succeeded in
raising the largest subscription ever
known at one meeting, and the con
sequence is that to-day Mount Zion camp
grdund has the most commodious stand of
any camp ground in the state. The benches
under the arbor will seat 2,51)0 people com
fortably, and the twenty-five private tents
entertam them royally, with the assistance
of the public tent, which Mr. Roc ert
Williamson has made exceedingly popular
this year.
Gov. Campbell’s Wife.
Interview in the Detroit Free Press.
“Gov. Campbell is a coming man in the
political field. So is Mrs. Campbell," with
a quizzical smile and the straightening out
of blue broadcloth encased legs. “In fact,
to be perfectly candid with you, i think
Mrs. Campbell the bigger man of the two.
There, sir, is a wouderful woman—more
wonderful than has ever yet been horn of
novelist’s pen. To Mrs. Campbell is due a
very large part of the credit which the
democracy gained by carrying Ohio in the
last elections. She is a born wire-puller,
and when she takes hold of a thing t, goes
•and there’s an end on’t.’ Stu ,s a born
schemer, and had she been a man I believe
she would have been a second Napoleon
Bonaparte. Evon as a school girl these
traits of her character wow always upper
most. She ceres nothing whatever for the
pursuits and amusements common to her
sex. During the camitaign which ended in
her husband’s election she pulled all the
wires, Gov. Campbell coming to her for
instruction and advice like the veriest
school boy. The sequel was a proud testi
monial to her superior genenslship.’’
The Late Mr. Howqua.
From the Brooklyn Time*.
Mr. Howqua is dead. Probably his name
sounds unfamiliar to American readers, but
he was a very distmgu sued citizen. He
was engaged in tbe tea business ,n China,
, and as bis father was worth $26,000,000
some fifty years ago, and the son consist
ently added to thi- respectable fortune, he
i believed to have been about as rich as the
Vanderbilts at the time of his death.
Mr. Howqua’s death has naturally cast a
gloom over society. But gloomiest of all
are the western millionaires wh • nev. r
heard of Mr. Howqua during his life and
only learn at his death how thev have been
beaten at their own game of absorbing
millions by an obscure heathen Chi ee.

If you have made up your mind to hay
Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
ary other. A Boston lady, whose example is
worthy imitation, tells her experience below:
“ In one store where I went to buy Hood's
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce roe buy
their own Instead of Hood's; hetoldmetheir's
would last longer; that I might take it on ten
To Get
days’ trial; that If I did not like it I need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I had taken
Hood's Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other.
When I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia,
and so weak that at times I could hardly
Hood’s
stand. I looked like a person in consump
tion. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did me so much
good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it.” Mrs.
Ella A. Goff, 61 Terrace Street, Boston.

THE ELECTROPOIBE.
Another Letter In Killence of What it is
Doing in Suvannah.
For the cure of all forms of female weak
nesses the Electropoise is superior to all other
treatment. Rheumatism, nervous dyspepsia,
constipation and kidney troubles are all cured
by an intelligent use of the Electropoise. We
will cite city cases on application. The follow
ing is an extract from a letter of a recent date:
Savannah, Ga., Aug, 23, 1890.
Southern Elect opoise Cos. :
Your Electropoise has been a blessing to my
wife. Thirteen years ago she commenced to
have nervous spells, and all medical treatment
only gave temporary relief. On the 3d of Feb
ruary my wife began using the Electropoise,
and after four days began to improve. She has
used no other remedy, and is now so far restored
as to be abie to attend to all her domestic
duties No money could buy it if I could not
replace it. Respectfully yours,
