To itself in many important particulars. Hood's
is different from and superior to any
Other medicine.
Peculiar In combination, proportion and prep
aration of ingredients, Hood's Sarsaparilla pos
sesses the full curative value of the best known
remedies of the vegetable kingdom.
l Peculiar In its medicinal merit, Hood's Sarsapa
rilla accomplishes cures hitherto unknown.
Peculiar In strength and economy — Hood's Sar
saparilla Is the only medicine of which can truly
be said " 190 d°se* one dollar." Medicines in larger
and smaller bottles require larger doses, and do
not produce as good results as Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Peculiar In its " good name at home " — there is
more of Hood's Sarsaparilla sold in Lowell, where
it is made, than of all other blood purifiers.
Peculiar in Its phenomenal record of sales
abroad, no other preparation has ever attained
such popularity in so short a time. Do not be in
duced to take any other preparation. Be sure to gel

aged 77. He was one of the five men
who originated the Grand Army of the
Republic at Decatur, Illinois, in 1866.
He was a native of Kentucky and cap
tain of company A, One Hundred and
First Illinois.
At the meeting of the republican
league clubs of Pennsylvania, held at
Scranton Thursday, Senator Robinson
was chosen president. The platform
adopted endorses the principles of the
republican party as enunciated in the
platform of 1888; commends the work of
the national administration; "the pure,
patriotic and able services of President
Harrison, and the brilliant foreign policy
of that great leader. Secretary of State
James G. Blaine. His brilliant triumphs
at the head of the department have
made the uplifted power und displayed
the flag of the republic as a synonym
for strength and stability in all corners
of the world." The platform also pledges
the support of the clubs to the party
cand idates.
Simultaneously with the arrival of the
time appointed, the homeseekers gath
ered on the border of the newly ceded
Indian reservations in Oklahoma terri
tory and made a headlong rush over the
line and into the coveted country and
out® the quarter sections upon which
their eyes had been fastening for soune
days and others for weeks and months.
The rush was a mad one and was made
so by the fact that the number of home
seekers greatly exceeded the number of
quarter sections available for settle
ment. There was room in the lands for
about 5,000 settlers, allowing 160 acres
for each. There were on the Ixirder
waiting to claim the available land fully
15,000 people, so that there were three
people for each quarter section. It was
no wonder that the rush was a madone.
Like scenes were never witnessed be
fore, except in Oklahoma two years ago.
Ex-President Balmaceda of Chili shot
himself through the temple in his room
at the Argentine legation in Santiago
Saturday morning. It seems that the
story that Balmaceda escaped on the
United States steamer San Franeisco
was erroneous. Instead, he left Satiago
August 3 in the hope of escaping from
the country, but finding every avenue of
egress closed returned to the city on
September 2 and went directly to the
Argentine legation. Since then he has
been extremely nervous. No one save
the Argentine minister and one other
man, devoted to Balmaceda, was per
mitted to see him. About 8 o'clock
Saturday morning a pistol shot was
heard in Balonaceda's room, and S^lor
U. R. Riburia rushing in found that the
ex-president had just put a bullet into
his brain. The junta was notified, and
a committee immediately went to the
house and viewed the body. As the
news spread crowds of people gathered
around the Argentine legation. They
cheered, hooted and nearly went into a
frenzy over the death of their late en
emy. Above all were heard shouts con
gratulating him that in taking his own
life he had escaped a worse fate at the
hands of the junta. Balmaceda's body
was removed to the general cemetery,
accompanied by mem tiers of his family
and friends.
adulterations in food.
Many states have stringent laws
against food adulteration, but they fail
to check the evil. It is on the increase.
The last report of the dairy commis
sioner of New Jersey shows that 43.1X5
per cent, or nearly half of all the food
preparations submitted to him for ex
amination were adulterated. Some
time« the adulterations were harmless
and in these cases the purchaser would
be only swindled, but in many instances
rank poisons were found in articles of
every day consumption. A large per
centage of canned vegetables, such as
peas and string beans, were found to
contained copperas, used to give a green
color, and a number of baking powders
had been "doctored" with ammonia to
give an artificial leavening strength and
to permit of their carrying more waste
matter. In these cases there is not only
fraud, but danger to the public health.
