William Windecknecht, a wealthy farmer of Muskegon county, personally appeared before me, a Notary Public, thin day, and deposes and says: 'That for the past year or BO he was afflicted with Weakness, Trembling, Heart Fail-ure, Extreme Nervousness, Headache, and General Debility; that he has con-sulted with physicians and r«beived no benefit. He was persuaded by a friend to try a sample bottle of Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer, and he says that the trembling and nervous feeling was im-mediately stopped by its use. After-wards be used two bottles of the same medicine and says he is entirely cored and free from that trembling sensation; bis heart givee him no trouole and be sleeps well. He further says that his general health is much better, and that he is calling the attention of his neigh-bors and friends to the remarkable value of Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer."

It the external indication of a con-dition of the blood which produces a fiery irritation almost unbearable. It is a mistake to think that this local irrita-tion is the disease itself—U is simplr an eridence of a disordered condition of the blood. The seat of the disease is in the blood, and this is why the various salves and ointments usually applied have no effect whatever. They cannot possibly reach the origin of the trouble; only a blood remedy can do that. S. S.

Much torture could be avoided if the first itching symptoms were heeded and a course of S.S.S. taken promptly, as ap-parently insignificant skin irritations usually develop into the worst form of Eczema unless properly treated.

It matters not what other treatment has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always

Detroit, April 27.—It appears to be a foregone conclusion that the Michigan democratic convention to be held "Wednesdny will declare for free silver and elect free silver delegates to the na-tional convention; G. Walter Meade, noting secretary of the state central committee, gave out the following- gen« eral resulte of the county conventions thus far held: Of the 85 counties 60 .have thus far elected delegates to the state convention. Seven hundred and thirteen delegates have been selected. Of these 308 are instructed for free sil-ver and 124 for gold; 221 are unln-structed. It is said that of the S£1 un-inptructed delegates 125 will vote for free silver and also 75 of the 120 dele-gates yet to be elected. It requires 417 votes for a majority of the convention, and It is conceded that the silver men will have at least 500 votes. The dem-ocratic district congressional conven-tions will be held on the same day as the state convention. Of the 12 congres-sional districts, it is now conceded that eight will be controlled by free silver delegates.

H. & M. depot was discovered on fire and in spile of tho heroic and persistant efforts of a large bucket brigade, it and the ice house ad-joining were totally consumed together with the contents of the creamery and the carriage shed near by. It was only by the united and persistant efforts of the crowd pr»i8ent that the house and barn were saved, aJr, Chapin's loss is in the neighborhood of $4,000, and he had some slight insurance. Mr Chapin is persistant and has the money making laculty well developed as ho baa made good money ever alnce he bought the creamery, which previously had been a loosing venture. I t ia hoped that he will rebuild and continue to give a good market to our farmers who prefer sell-ing their cream to making butter them-velves.

• m Wool is a t the lowest point it ever

struck in this country. But the low price offers no induoement to manufac-t u r e d aa the munufaotured product ia equally as low. There is no scarcity of either wool or goods at these low prices, as the supply is fully up to the demand. The coming clip of Michigan will not be over half its usual quantity, and will come forward early and be sold readily at from 1 to 2 cents per pound below 1S05. Even then buyers will not be eager to take it. The early warm weather, with lack of funds, induces early clipping. The want of money to invest will have its effect on prices. What little has been marketed has been sold at full prices, higher than tbe sea-board markets will warrant,

. Mrs Philip Fox, of Fox's Corners, had a peculiar experience tbe other day. She was cleaning house and had taken u p a carpet which she had left on the floor in tbe kitchen over night, expect-ing to put i t down the next day. In the morning as she was getting break-fast noticed that the carpet didn't appear to be jnst as she had left it, so she picked vp a corner to throw i t bank and uncovered a tramp, asleep.

lost Its potcncy. The peoplf have at last come to believe that the home mar-kets and tbe excluMvecontrol of tlie W-st markets in the world ae we had them under protection ami reciprocity are better than taking our chauceb with the competition of the ill paid labor of other countries on an oven footing. A wise bnsinopa man socks every advantn^e in hia power, why shouldn't a Nation do the patne?

T ^ E DEMOCRATIC PARTY h a s a g a i n

succeeded In pulling the wool over the eyes of a great many of our voters and in diverting attention from the real issue before the people to one that Is

wholly immaterial: we refer to protec-tion and sliver. The issue and the great question before the people is the tariff. Protection and Reciprocity, and if tiiis question is settled as it should be the financial quest inn will Bettle itself. The silver question is one that can safe-ly be left to the care of the Republican party, and practical bimstalism will he secured.

THAT A POUCY IB a g o o d t h i n g f o r o n e

country is no proof of its benefits for all, England is a free trade country because

she is a country of one product or class of products, but for a country like ours,

' with diversified interests to look after ^ and foster, it is tbe wrong policy en tire-

. ly. Thus you take farming; a man who forms one crop treats tbe soil in an en-tirely different manner than does the former who doesn't confine his energies in one direction, and it is just so in bus-men . The policy of protection and rec-iprocity has been proved the proper one for our country with its diversified in-terests and we must return to it to se-cure prosperity.

We shall miss that nervous tingling As the balls and strikes he'd call.

We shall do no lusty shouting When our sluggere make a hit;

We can't sit upon the bleachers. Or on a cushion in the stand

And watch our sprinter lead off first And on second safely land.

We can't hear the coacher holler "Take a good lead there, my boy:"

We c a n t see a home run bring him in And fill our hearts with joy.

We c a n t even roast the umpire When the game don't go our way

We can ' t groan in mortal anguish At some awful yellow play.

W e can't deify our sluggers When they shut tbe visitors out.

We can't see a single ball game For our team's gone up tbe spout.

We can play a t golf or tennis. At pinochle or cinch;

SUNDAY IN MEXICO.

WHAT OUR PARTY SAW ON T H I S GREAT MEXICAN GALA DAY.

T h e .Story of t h e H u l l F l E h t T l m t I D l f n ' t See.

Rundny i? the gront <lay in Mexico. Theatres and the Circus give two or t'irpn performanepp rml. too 'h»K N the day of the Bull Fight, the great nafionn' arauBement. The fight WAS heM In the afternoon at Bucariei, in the suhurh of of the City of Mexloo, and our entire party attended except nix of us a ho had a sort of repugnance against the sport, owing to the day and a very vivid de-scription we received from Mrs Bennett, a Chicago lady whose acquaintance we made at the circus.

In the course of our conversation wl h her the bull fight was mentioned as a point of interest. "Don't go," she ex-claimed, "don't under any circum-stances be inveigled into going to the bull fight. Go back home and bpcome a cunosity to the people, as the one per-son who went to Mexico and didn't tee a bull fight. It is all very nice to con-template, away up in Hicbiean, but if you go you will always regret it. Your first impressions are very nice, you en-ter a building which from the outside looks very much like cyclorama of the Battle of Gettysburg In Chicago, only much larger and without a roof, which seats thousanda of people, and It is full of people there to see some twenty horses and a half dozen bulls killed. In tbe center is an immense ring which has a fence about six feet high, around the Inside of which Is a step about eighteen inches high, on which the fighters step when they wish to jump over to escape the bull. About six or eight feet outside of this fence is a higher, strong-er one which protects the audience in case the bull jumps the inside fence, which frequently happens. The audi-ence is dressed in its best and brightest colors and smiling, eager fac?p make it a scene worth looking at. A band, which plays well, give the audience their best music and this portion, and in fact all of the preliminaries are interesting. The band plays the Mexican National Air and a horseman gallops into the ring and salutes the audience, then turns to the master of ceremonies and

Iturludo, "the finest hotel in thecHy, which was the palace of the emperor of t hot name. It ie a Mexican Hutel, "but the beat and nearest "American" of any we were in. Wo took our tn^alrt heie dur ing our stay In the city and a Mexi-can meal is a curiosity to an American. Our hrcakfaat consisted of the following dishei and wen; served this way: "Tlie waiter comes in and gives you two platos. u knife and fori: nnd two spoons and brioKH you oranges and bananas, they also bring a large cup and another boy comes with two coffee pots, one contains coffee—black and thick—and the other pot has hot milk fcr "litcha;" after eating your fruit all the plates, knife, fork and spoons are taken away and two other plates, knife, fork and two spoons are brought and a waiter comes with a large dish of oat meal and ladles out a lot in one of your plates, then another comes with two cans of milk, hot and cold and pours "litcha' ' (plain milk) or "litcha calientes" (hot milk) into your dish of oat meal; if you want sugar you have to ask for it "asug"' (pronounced ah-soog), the sugar Is dark er than our "Coffee C" and is in broken lumps, not cubes. The fine sugar is simply this other crutbed or rolled fine. I took a lump of this sugar to bring home aa a souvenir and Mrs Hamill, of Alpena, put it in her hand hag to carry to the car and I presume fed it to Courtrlghfs monkey, as I never got it. After the oatmeal is finished the table is atripped of everything but the cloth, we received a new Invoice of crockery and ailverware, a small loaf of bread, about six inches long by two thick and possi-bly three inches wide a t its widest place, with a crust like granite, and cut in four pieces, was brought; then a waiter came in with a platter containing beef steak and slid a piece on your plate and put a spoonful of gravy over It. The gravy is a thick brown concoction sea-soned with garlic and pepper and I guess you could learn to like it for 1 saw peo-ple eat it. After steak came another lot of dishes, etc., and fried fish with which the same gravy was served. After fish tbe same stripping process was indulg-ed In and tried chicken with garlic and pepper gravy; after fried chicken comes french fried potatoes, never, more than eight little stri{s about J inch square by two inches long, fresh tomatoes, radishes and celery and cooked cauliflower.

One of the ladies at our table bulls are confined. Then all tbe fighters I called for a second cup of coffee and got -- the matador (the Ptsr), capeadoree, i about a quarter of a cup; when that waa banderilieras. on foot and the piendores i gone she called for more coffee and the on horseback armed with blunt spean), I boy went lo the head waiter for in-all clad in the gayest, gaudiest costumes i structions. He immediately came over in all the colors of the rainbow, trim-1 to our table and addressing ber, said:

••Vats de matter mit youl you bad al-ready two cups of coffee?" and she sim-ply replied "Well? and I want an-other." She got it, but we found it easier to get all and eveiytbiftg we

med with gold and silver and spangles, and; are greeted by vociferous applause by the immense audience. When the pen is opened the bull comes in with a rush to the center of the ring where he stops and breathes defiance to every- | wanted by bnbmg the waiter, thing and everybody. As he comes in i a barbed steel, with tbe breeder's colors is thrown over his shoulder. Now the trouble begins. Tbe bull rushes first at one and then at another as they shj.ke their red capes in his face. This is all \ very exciting and interesting, the agility j displayed by tbe capeadores, but before tb* bull is tired, only enrsged, tho pica-dores on horseback come galloping in.

den on to the terrible horns of tbe bull, portions of bis entrails dragging on the gionnd as a result of his first encounter. Twelve horses and six bulls killed for an afternoons sport. I wouldn't have car-ed if a man or two had got hi? just deserts, but the cowardly creatures have the fence to get behind when they are in any danger."

The same spirit was manifested by i our party who saw the fight, they | were bony for the horses, and disgusted with the sport, and some of them said as an excuse for staying all through that " they stayed in hopes tbe could see see a man killed." No one had sym-pathy for the bull or for the men, but they were aU so sorry for the horses. A couple of ladies of our party went to tbe fight and stayed in their box until tbe first horse was impaled on the horns of the hull, then they fled to tbe little balcorr on tbe outside of tbe build-ing opposite their box. They had just got nicely seated when out from a door way undo- them came a team of six gaily caparisonsd moles dragging the dead body of tbe horse they had seen killed. They turned their faces toward the wall and in a little while they heard some more people talking down there and curiosity overcame them and they looked: they saw a horse with a gash a foot long in its shoulder, a tourniqnetts on its nose and trembling in every limb, while the gash was being sewed up. When the b o n e waa fixed up his pica-dore remounted him and in a few min-utes be was brought out again, this time by the pretty six mule team.

" I have never had a day's sickness in mv lifa," said a middle aged man the other day.

"What a comfort that would be," fighs some poor invalid, " to be in his place for a year or two." Yet half of the Invalids we see, might he just as healthy as he. If they would only take proper care of themselves, eat proper food—and digest it.

It is so strange that such sun tlnnga are overloobt.*d by those w want health.

Food makes health. It makes strength—nnd strength

wards off sickness. The man who had never been aick was strong bocause he always digested his food, and you could liecome the same by helping your stomach to work as well aa his.

A S u f f e r e r C u r e d "Every season, from the time I

was two years old. I snlTorod dread-fully fuom erysipelas, which kept pro wing worse until my iiaiids were almost useless. Tho bones softened so that they would bend, and several of my fingers arc now crooked from

this pause. On my hand I carry large scars, which, but for

AVER'S Sarsaparilla, would be sores, provided I

1 was alive and able F to carry anything.

Eight bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured me, so tha t 1 have had no return of the disease for more than twenty years. The first bottle seemed to reach the spot and a persistent use of it has perfected the cure."—O. 0. DAVIS, Wautoma, Wis.

• hot may not Intermarry. The same Is , Iruo of the Murri men and the Mata women; of the Kubbi men and tho Kn-pota women; of the Kumbo men and the Buta women.

Nor is tho reason for the interdict in | tie'*? cases far to seek. If tho brothers • in a given family are Ippai, tho daugh-ti-rs of that family ure Ippata, and are therefore in tho correlated group. If tho Ippai man should choose his wife from t he Ippa ta grnr .p < f v.-omen, ho n i g h t choose his sister 1 And the like is true of all the other castes occupying the fiime level That Is, if the male caste

j be Murri, the man of that caste must 1 not choose a Mata woman, for she

might have the same father and mother as hiimelf. The Kubbi man must not marry a Kapota woman for the same reason, and tho Kumbo man must not chouse from the female easto of Buta It happens for this reason that the two upper castes, the Ippai men aud Ippata women, are incompatible, and for the same reason the Murri men and the Marta women; the Kubbi men aud the Kapota women, nnd the Kumbo men aud tho Euta women—are interdicted.

Tho general law requires that the man of the Ippai must marry a Kapota girl, that caste being the third grade from his own. Thero is a limited ex-ception to this rule permitting an Ippai man to marry an Ippata woman, pro-vided care bo taken that she bo not akin to him. Otherwise every Ippai must avoid his own correlated group, pass by tho Mata group of womeu and take a wife from the Kapota group.

In the second place, tho law requires that the Murri man must take a Buta woman. He Is Interdicted from the Mata women, who are nearest to him, aud must pass by the Kapota group and go to the second class from his own be-fore ho can take. The man of the Kub-bi must marry an Ippata woman. This is also a third caste remove, but, oddly enough, in the inverse direction. The inferior Kubbi reaches up two stages and takes a superior Ippata. The law for the Kumbo is that he may marry only u Mata woman, and this again is a third remove upward.

This strange and elaborate system is carried into the offspring of the Austra-lian marriogoa. The results are very complex, but at the same time system-atic. The thing that seems to be aimed at by the barbarians is to secure diver-sity in tho marriage, with a view to se-curing diversity also in the offspring. The evolutiou is kept up to the remotest result. The law is that the children of the cross caste marriages (and all of the marriages are of this kind) shall not be of the same caste with either of the parents. The offspring of the marriage stands off from the caste of both the fa-ther and the mother.

When an Ippai man marries a Kapota woman, the children are, if male, Murri, and if female, Mata—that is, the male children are one caste lower than the father, and the female children one caste higher than the mother. When the man of the Ippai marries, as he may marry, an Ippata woman, the offspring will be Kumbo if male and Buta if f6-male—that is, the children, both male and female, are in this exceptional In-stance thrown into castes as far as pos-sible from that of the parente. The priv-ilege of the Ippni 'man to marry into the social caste on a level with his own is, as it were, avenged or punishod by banishing his children to the remotest extremes of society."

If the Murri man marry a Buta wom-an (us he must), the male children are Ippai, or one grade higher than the fa-ther, and the female children are Ippa-ta, or three grades higher thau the mother.

The children of the Kubbi man and the Ippata woman are, if male, Kumbo, aud if female, Buta—that is, the male children are one degree lower than the father and tbe female children are three degrees lower than the woman.

The children of Ihe Kumbo man and tho Mata woman are, if male. Kubbi, and if female, Kapota—that is, the mule children are one degree higher than the father and the female children one degree lower thau the mother.

This is without doubt tbe most re-markable system of marriage and de-scent ever invented by man. It is the most scientifio. That it should be the work of the most utterly savage people on the face of the earth seems incredi-ble. How it wns devised and what were the instincts that led to the adoption of snch rules of sex relation are questions

' beyond the ken of history and almost out of reach of speculation. A few prin-ciples, however, may be noted.

• lu thiwe usages the existence of a strong desire or instinct among savagos

. for cross breeding and constant differ-I entiation is manifested. There is also a ; hint lu it at the preservation of tribal j solidarity. Caste exists within the tribe, I The general result of the method of sexual union here described is to dis-

j tribute the blood of the tribe us if the 1 tribe wore an entity or a single person. ; lu u short time the whole tribe, under j tlie action of these rules, becomes ubso-I lately unified.

Thus, for example, the male chilji born Ippai has for its father a Murri

| man aud fur its mother a Buta woman, I but the Murri father hod for his parents ; un Ippai father and a Kapota mother. There is thus combined in every grand-child the lines of a four caste ancestry. The principle extended loon embraces all the tribe in its ramifications. It is literally true that every AQstraliau child has in its veins the blood of the whole tribe, if not of the whole race. It is worth the study of a philosopher to ana-lyze such a system, to discover its origin Jn° savage instincts, aud to truce ont Its

j results on the barbarians who invented i t J o n s CLARK RIDPATH.

Paofilon of Washlngton'R Life. Writing of Washington's great pas-

sion, Sally Cary, in The Ladies' Home Journal, Mrs. Burton Harrison says: "Apparently so riddled by the shafts of the little god of love had been the heart cf Washington, the boy, that It is hard to know how, after his sighs for the 'Lowland Beauty' (Sally Cary), and his repeated addreeres to Miss Bet-sey Fanntelroy, and his later sensibility to the charms of 'the very agreeable young lady,' afterward Mrs. Ambler, the passion for a woman who never might bo his could have dominated him as it did for so many years. But from the evidenoo of his own letters the love he had felt for tho others was as water unto wine 'beside the hopeless attach-ment for his beautiful neighbor, Sally Cary, that during this period threatened to assnme 'sovereign controul' of his ardent • nature Fortunately, thanks to time, to the lady's subsequent absence in England with her hasband, and, above all, because it was made subject to his own indomitable will, the feel-ing was subdued, and his marriage with Mrs. Custis ended the episode happily.

"Tho proofs are the enduring inti-macy and confidenco that existed between Washington, his wife and every mem-ber of the Belvoir family during their respective lives. They may be read by any student of the writings of Washing-ton and will carry conviction ia each line."
