The Business Man's Statement. LaFayette, litd., May 2, 1894. Lyon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.: Gentlemen— lt is with pleasure that I can conscientiously say a good word for LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. For more than a year I was troubled with indigestion and stomach disorders. Various remedies which I tried gave me no relief, until one day last summer I was told by a brother drummer of the virtues of LYON’S SEVEN WONDEES. I concluded to try it, and am happy to say one box, oosting only one dollar, entirely cured me. To those who suffer as I did I would strongly advise them to use LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS.

The government has been compelled to sell bonds to maintain the purchasing power of nil forms ot money in circulation among the people. It is unfortunate for the country that this has been necessary. But what party is responsible for the enactment of laws that made it necessary?”

The Wilson Tariff. The Wilson tariff, iccording to the platform of the Indiana repub licans, “has almost destroyed our American industries”.. meaning, specifically, American manufactures. The official reports of the treasury department show that for the nine months of the fiscal year ending with March the exports of American manufactures reached the unprecedented total of $163,187,926, which is five millions more than the figures for the whole twelve months of 1892, when McKirley reciprocity was in full blast; and the fist al year 1891-92 was the “crack year” of McKinleyism...

The Chicago Times-Herald of Monday last contained a write-up of Colorado’s prominent women, among them Mrs. Jas. B. Belford, sister of the editor of this paper. It says: “By common consent Mrs. J. B. Belford, wife of Colorado’s excorgressman, J. B. Belford, is acknowledged one of the ablest women in Colorado. Her honors are many, but aie justly hers, and the love and admiration r iven her bv her brothers and sisters of the centennial state, is only limited by their number. Mrs. Belford is a native of Pennsylvania, bur the opening of the war found her a girlish bride, battling vith the hardships of life in Laporte. Ind. There in a little home of two rooms Mrs. Belford and her gifted young husband entertained in those stirting times the great men of our nation. In 1870 the little family came to Colorado to try their fortunes, and located at the then wonderful mining camp of Central City, in Gilpin county. Through all the vicissitudes of pioneer life in the far west, Mrs. Belford never lost sight of the high standard she had * marked out for herself,|but gener-
