Piles! Piles! Piles!
A SURE CURE FOUND
AT LAST!
NO ONE NEED SUFFER !
A sure Cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itching
and Ulcerated Piles has been discovered
by Dr. Wihiam, (an Indian Remedy,;
called Dr. William's Indian Ointment. A
sinsle box has cured Hie worst chronic
cases of 2."i or 30 years standing. No one
need suffer five minutes alter applying this
wonderful soothingmedicine. Lotions in
struments and electuaries do more harm
than good. William's Ointment absorbs
the tumors, allays the intense itching,
(particularly at night alter getting warm
in bed,) acts ns a poultice, gives instant
relief, and is prepared only for Piles, itch
ing or the private parts, and for nothing
else.
Read what the Hon. J. 31. Cofflnberry
of Cleveland rys about Dr. William's In
dian Pile Ointment: I have used scores
of Pile Cuies, and it affords me nlcasurc
to say that I hive never found anything
which pave such immediate and perma
nent renei as ur. William's Indian Oint-

Bravery of Andrew Johnson-
"Just preceading tho war,'' said a
Tennessee man, "Andrew Johnson had
many enemies in Tennessee, and once
when h was billed far an evening
speech at Nashville, the report was
proad that if he dared to speak he
would bo either mobbed or egged, and
perhaps assinated. When ths hour
for assembling came the house was al
ready thronged, and Andy Johnson
was1 on the platform. He proruptly
arose, and going to the front took a
pistol from his pocket and cocked it.
lis then opend the wetting by saving:
'Gentlemen and fellow citizens: It is
meet that when free men assemble for
the diacussion of important business
interests everything should be' done de
cently and in order. Now, I have
been informed that a part of the pro
ceedings on the present occasion is the
assassination of the individual address
ing you."'
"Here he grasped the pistol firmly
with his right hand, throw open his
coat with his left hand and continued:
'I propose that this little matter be the
first business taken up. If any man
comes heie to-night for that purpose
let him not speak, bat shost.'
"At this them was a pause, and no
one replied. 'Ah' said Mr. Johnson,
'I see I have been misinformed. I. will
proceed with the meeting.'
"And thero was not a ripple of dis
sent in the hall that night. Johnson
was applauded at every pdriod, and he
had not an enemy present who dared
to groan above his breath." "Cleve
land Leader."
Narrow Escape. Last Friday, as
the Ashland Baso Ball Club, and
friends from Ashland, reached the
Klamath river ferry, they had a nar
row escape from getting into ths river,
and undoubtedly drowning, as there
would bs little chance of gcititig out
of that swift stream, under the cir
cumstances. One of tho teams had
been driven on tbe ferrj boat, and
other was coming along at a lively gait,
until reaching the grade down the
bank, when putting on tbe brake it
was discovered the brake block had
dropped ouf. The team being unable
to hold the wagon back started on a
run, crowding np against tha other
wagon on tbe boat, all expecting both
teams would jump the boat by the
scare. Luckily tbe forward team
stood tha check, and thereby saved a
great disaster. Mr. Anderson, the
ferryman, was much excited ever ths
occurance, and like those aboard the
wagons, thought it ono of the most
miraculous escapes ever experienced.
Poor Thing.
"You looksad, Birdie what's the
matter!" were the words addressed to
Birdio McHenipinj by her friend,
Mollie Squeers, as they met on Austin
avenuo.
"I'm not foeling well." ,
"Aro you sickl"
"No, I'm not precisely sick; but I
feel tired, overworked."'
"Do tell me all about it?"
"Well, yon see our colored cook is
sick, and now poor mother has to da
all the cooking, and scrubbing, and
washing, and ironing, 'and it makes m6
so tired to seo tha old creature work.
She is so slow."

Sample bottle free, and large bottla for
gale by Merritt it Robinson Jackson
ville. A man named Murphy, an employe
of the railroad, supposed to be about
45 years of age, was found in Ya
quina bay early Tuesday morning a
short distance above Onratta, dead.
An examination indicated that he had
been in tha water about forty hours.
Murphy had been on a sprea Sunday,
and had comn near falling into the bay
several times during the day. He had
suffered from rupture a long time, and
had remarked at various times on Sun
day that he had nothing to Iiva far.
Worthless Young Men.
But aside from ths part of the col I ego
question there is the- utter wortbless
ness of thousands of young men with
a college education. No young fellow
who goes through college will demean
himself by learning a trade, or setting
down to any rough kind of btfslusssf.
All want to be "gentlemen" and wear
good clothes and hae little to do. Ex
cept in special -:ases it is mere wasta
of boy's time, possibly the rain, of his
future, to send him to college.'4t-There
are many who went through college,
but who connot make a decent living.
I could count some of them inyslf.
Some timo ago a woman who 'had
sent one of her boys to college said to
me that she would rather see tha
others working in tho streets than
spoil them tho same way. A
college graduate who, after almost
starving, got employment in a New
York grocery, felt dreadfully mortified
to find himself working for a man who
could not write his name; but ho held
on to tho place. In the opinion of
thousunds of New Yorkers, this city
college of ours, for which everybody
is taxed, is a positive evil. It makes
young aristocrats out of tha sons of
men who havo to work hard for a
living, and in many Cases it makes
thera ashamed of their humble parents.
When the average boy has passed
through a good grammer school ho has
done well enough, so far as education
at tho expense of the public is con
cerned. Hardly 5 per cent, of ths
eminently successful men of New
York, outsida of the professions, ever
set foot in college as students, and tha
average business man will not employ
young fellows from college while ha
can find others'.
One day soon after Pope's defeat at
second Bull Run and Chantilly, a pri
vate soldier belonging to an Ohio regi
ment sought an intervion with his
captain, announced that he had a plan
for military campaign, which must cer
tainly result in crushing out tho re
the-h,ellion. The officer very naturally in-
quired for particulars, but tho soldier
refused to reveal thera, and asked for a
chance to lay his plana before Popo
himself. After some delay he was giv
en a pass to headquarters. Ho did
not get to see Pope, but after tho chief
of staff had coaxed and promised and
threatened for a quarter of an hour tho
Buckeye stood up and replied:
"Well, sir, my plan is, for John
Pope and Bob Lee to swap commands,
and if we don't lick tho South insida
of sixty days you may shoot mo for a
patent hay-fork swindler!"
When ha returned to camp he was
naturally asked what success ha had
met with, and he ruefully replied:
"Wall, tlmy had a plan of their
own."

How to Read A Novel.
Oped it in tho middle; glance at a
