CANCER CURED
-AND A
LIFE SAVED
By the Persistent Uss of
Aysr's SarsapariNa
"I v;w troubled for yetirs with' a
sore on my knee, which several
physichins, who treated me, called a
cancer, assuring mo that nothing
could be done to save my life. As
a hist resort, I was induced to try
Ayer's Sarsanari'la, ami, after tak
ing a number of bottles, the sore
IIB8II:
'began to disappear and niy general
health improve. I persisted in thia
treatment, until the' .sore was en
tirely healed. Since then, I use
.Ayer's Sarsapariila occasionally as
a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in
deed, it seems as though I could not
keep house without it." Mrs. S. A.

Some months ago we sent one of our
pianos to Spokane, Wash. The party
who ordered it became involved in financial-difficulties
and was unable to pur
chase it. We then transferred it to Mr.
I.' C.' Nlckelaen of The Dalles, who
has been storing it for us during the last
few months. We do not wish the piano
re-shipped to us because that will in
volve a considerable expense of freights.
We are therefore willing to eeH the
piano actually below cost. The piano is
the best we manufacture, listed in our
catalogue at $1,200, retail price $640.
We offer it, with stool, scarf and lamp,
to anyone who will buy within the next
thirty days, for $275. Thia is an oppor
tunity to get a firet-class piano at abso
lutely less than cost. Everyone who in
tends to buy a piano any time at all,
ought to see this instrument and con
sider this offer before making a pur
chase. The piano can. be seen at I. C.
Nickelsen's at any time. We have au
thorized Mr. Nckeleen to accept this
price for it. -

Some Vaote For Farmers.
: In-1877 the average value of the hay
crop in the United States was $ 8-60 per
ton. : .The , following . year it dropped to ;
$7.20, and in 1879, the year next ensu
ing, it jumped up to $9. 32 per ton.
Again. In 1891, when this country
was firmly on a gold basis, the average
value of the hay crop was $8: 40 per ton. ,
In 1892 it fell to $6. 73 per ton, and in '
1893 it rose to $8.68 per ton. Last year
the average value was $8.06 per ton.
- Assuming that the fall in prices is
due to the "crime of 1873, "-how are
these fluctuations to ,be accounted for?
Will some Bryanite explain also why it
is that the average value of the hay crop
per ton was greater in 1895, when we
were on a gold basis, than it was in.
1878, when gold was at a premium?
Hay has undoubtedly declined in price
since 1873, but why should it not have
done so? Apart from cheaper methods
of production and cheaper rates of trans
portation, the annual hay crop increased
from 25,085,100 tons in 1873 to 65,
766,158 tons in 1893. Last year it
amounted to about 47,000,000.
At the same time the number of
horses in the United States increased
only from 9,222,470 in 1873 to 15,893,
818 in 1895. It is estimated that there
are nearly .1,100,000 fewer horses in
this country today than there were three
years ago.
These plain facts and figures should
not be hard to comprehend. Let the
farmer study them before he allows
himself to be hoodwinked by free silver
demagogism. ,
An Object LeMon In Squashes.,
Well, here I am, Marin! I'm back again, yer
Bee
That is, ez far as thet's concerned, I'm back,
what's left of me.
The more I learn and more I see since all this
talk began ,
Hakes me the mora inclined to bo a Bryan sil
ver man. ' .
Ton know he sez in that thar speech I read to-
you last night
That produce hain't gone down a bit, but gold's
up outer sight. - -Well,
when I got to Louisville, at half past five
o'clock.
There wa'n't another man had squash but me
on Pierce's dock. -
I started in a-selling mine, ten cents apiece, I
swar,
And at -that price I'd ay that gold stood just
about to par.
'Bout six o'clock three other teams came on
the dock, by gosh,
And every gol darned one of 'cm was full of
summer squash!
Well, then and there gold started np, and she
began to rise. - -
Five cents apiece for summer squashl I jumps
right up and cries.' ,
By thunder, didn't gold go up as quick and
slick as grease,
For them there fellers offered thcirn at just
a cent apiece.
But still gold kept a-going up a-kiting up
she went, -
Till I sold out what I had left, two squashes,
for a cent.
Yon know darned well that squashes ain't apt
- to fluctuate, (
Bo Bryan's got the thing dead right it's gold
as sure as fate. . -
It stands to reason he is right when be sez
it's because
There's something out of kilter with them
thar silver laws. "
80, darn the Ft uff . I'd full as licve have old Bill
Ketchum's note. . - "

Thrift's Savings Would Shrink.
The savings bank deposits of the

. Under free coinage they would shrink
in actual value to about $900,000000.
