Pike County Democrat, Volume 27, Number 30, Petersburg, Pike County, 4 December 1896 — Page 8

Organising In the East* There was organised in Brooklyn last Sreek a political club which adopted the name of the “Democratic League of Kings County.” The principles of the league are Stated as follows: The object of this league is to promote bimetallism and such other economical reforms (national, state and local) as will secure equal rights to all and special priv-v „ lieges to none. The urgaaizers of the club were active in the campaign in New York for Bryan and bewail, and prepose . to continue the fight for bimetallism. The Brooklyn Citizen gires a strong editorial endorsement to the league, aud asserts that it “cannot be other than a source of moral and intellectual strength in everything truly democratic in the regular organization.” The purposes of the league are educational. It will not put tickets in the field. It will by speeches and documents and similar means seek to bring the people to a knowledge of the principles of Jefferson, and in so doing will oppose the claims of the oil and sugar and coal and gas and other trusts with which the country is burdened. The organization of such a league within sight of Wall street is one of the hopeful signs of the times. It is a practical dernonst rat ion of the educational york of the late presidential campaign. Perhaps the majority of its members first learned what the silver question really is after the Chicago convention and Bryan’s great speech of acceptance in New York. Now they are willing to begin a four years’ fight for it, and to inaugurate a campaign of education, even before the result of the late contest has l*een officially declared. Theie will be more of these c!ul>s organized in the near future, and l»efore another presidential year rolls around they will be so numerous, and their “influence so pronounced, that even Some states ea?t of the Alieghanies may be found in the bimetallic column when the vote of 1900 i< counted.—Denver News.

How to {‘remit Pneumonia. At .this time of the year a colil is yerv easily contracted, .»ud if left ti run its course without the aid of .some reliable cough medicine is liable to result in that dread disease, pneumonia. We know of no better remedy to cure a cough or cold than Chamberlain’s Cough remedy. We have used it quite extensively and it has always given entire satisfaction.—Ulagab, Indian Territory. Chief. This is the only remedy that is known to be a certain preventive of pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it foiscolds and lagripja1, we have never yet learned of a single case having resulted fn pneumonia. Persons who have weak lungs or have reason to fear an attack of pneumonia, should keep fhe remedy at hand. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by J. R. Adams & Son. d Promises Shall be Measured. Then' comes no note of doubt or misgiving from Mr. Bryan. Promises shall be measured alongside of fulfillment," said he. The people have Usui told that the , preservation of the existing gold standard will bring prosperity, and a majority of them have believed the promise. But they have been stirrtd by the campaign. Their attention has been fixed on the money question aud nothing will divert them from it. They will measure the promise against the fulfillment, and if the gold standard fails.to bring prosperity they will overthrow the. gold standard. We are now about to enter Upon the real caniimigu of education, in whu h events shall be tie tcaejiers aud none of their lessons will lie lost. The otvurrences of the next four years will-be the test of the monetarsystem urged by the nioney power ami when that system fails to bring prosperity. a> fad it must, then* will' be a landslide in the election of 1900. to w hich there- is no jtaraile). Mr. Bryan confidently look- forw ard to the result of this campaign of education, die‘leaves tin- question to the observation-of the voters, with full faith in their capacity to judge aright, and, having judged, to put their judgment into execution.—I h aver NYw>. V*W>, the People.” The innocent assurance of ihe three traditional Tailors of T»«>ley street is at last equalled by the democratk* gold bugs of Indiana who prop >se to reorganize theiie-i in uc racy of this state on the “old lines." j The Evansville Courier sumst up the whole j niatur as f.-iiows. when it says: “Palmer and Buckner received 2,100 votes in the elate of Imiiauaf'wtuie Bryan^received over j v820,000 voted, yet theae 2,100 fellows are talking seriously of reorganizing the demo* eratie party upon their platform!

All Kagle. Hon. J. D. Barker, ex-member of the Indiana legislature, and present trustee of Madison township. Pike county, was in 1 town, Saturday, on his way home, from a hunting trip in Knox-county. He was accompanied by Uabe Burkhart, of Pike county. On Friday he killed a very large | young eagle, that measured seven foot one inch from the tips of its extended wings, and there feet from beak to tip of tail and weighed 10$ pounds. Joe said he killed it on Dan’s jxmd in Decker township, northwest of CUypool hills. He brought it down with a shot gun at a range of yards, one shot hitting the eagle in the eye. He seemed-very proud of his kill and would not talk about selling it, regarding it as a “mascot,” saying, that they had beat the republicans in Pike county, and hid now followed up the victory and killed the eagle. He left nt one o’clock p. nf. over the H. U. & P. route for Petersburg, where he intends to have it mounted, and then may be he will loan it to his republican friends to earn- in the procession at their rallies.—Hazelton Herald.

Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J, Guilderman, of Dimondale Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: “I have no hesitation in recomending Dr. King's New Discovery as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife, While i was pastor of the Raptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with pneumouia succeeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interuptiou and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in its results.” Trial bottles free at J. R. Adams & Sou’s drug store. Regular size 50c*and $1.00.

Hicks by those who ilo not fully understand the facts, there is no denying the truth that his paper and ilmanae have come to stay. His splendid journal, Word and Works, is now entering its tenth year, largely increased in circulation and in every way improved, until it iesenres the national reputation it has attained. His 1897 almanac is now ready *nd is by far the finest and most beautiful • is y.: issued. It contains 108 pages, including cover artistically printed in colors. And is filled from back to back with just what is wanted in every shop, office ami home in America. One feature of the almanac for 1897 is a series of 15 original, beautifully engraved star maps, with explanatory chapters, which could not be bought for less than five dollars in any work of astronomy. As Mr. Hicks has so correctly and faithfully warned the public of coming droughts, floods, cold waves, blizzards, tornadoes and cyclones, in the years passed, aside from the other varied and splendid features of his paper and almanac. these considerations alone should prompt every family to subscribe at once for 1897. The almanac is only 25 cents a copy. Word and Works is one dollar a year, ami a copy of the fine almanac goes as premium with every yearly subscription.
