AT THE POLLS.

It will, perhaps, require a little stretch of the imagination on the part of the reader to recognize the fact that the two portraits at the head of this article are of the same individual ; and yet they are truthful sketches made from photographs, taken only a few months apart, of a very much esteemed citiaen of Illinois—Mr. C. H. Harris, whose address is N®. 1,622 Second Avenue, Rock Island, IIL The following extract from a letter written by Mr. Harris explains the marvelous change in his personal appearance. He ■writes : “ Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery saved my life and has made me a man. My home physician says lam good for forty years yet. You will remember that I was just between life and death, and all of my friends were sure it was a case of death, until I commenced taking a second bottle of 4 Golden Medical Disoovery,’ when I became able to sit up and the cough was very much better, and the bleeding from my lungs stopped , and before I had taken six bottles of the ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ my cough ceased and I was a new man and ready for business. I now feel that it is a duty that I owe to my fellow-men to recommend to them the 4 Golden Medical Discovery ’ which saved my life when doctors and all other medicines failed to do me any good. I send to you with this letter two of my photographs; one taken a few weeks before! was taken down sick in bed, and the other was taken after I was well.” These two photographs are faithfully re-produced at the bead of this article. Mr. Harris's experience in the use of “ Golden Medical Discovery” is not an exceptional one. Thousands of eminent people in all parts of the world testify, in just as emphatic language, to its marvelous curative powers over all chronic bronchial, throat and lung diseases, chronic nasal catarrh, asthma, and kindred diseases. Eminent physicians prescribe “ Golden Medical Discovery” when any of their dear ones’ lives are imperilled by that dread disease, Consumption. Under such circumstances only the most reliable remedy would be depended upon. The following letter is to the point. It is from an eminent physician of Stamps, Lafayette Co., Ark. He says: “Consumption is hereditary in my wife’s family : some have already died with the disease. My wife has a sister, Mrs. E. A. Cleary, that was taken with consumption. She used Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and, to the surprise of her many friends, Bhe got well. My wife has also had hemorrhages from the lungs, and her sister insisted on her using the 4 Golden Medical Dis-

covery.’ I consented to her using it, and it cured her. She has had no symptoms of consumption for the past six years. People having this disease can take no better remedy.” Yours very truly, From the Buckeye State comes the following : “ I was pronounced to have consumption by two of our best doctors. I spent nearly S3OO, and was no better. I concluded to try Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. I bought and used eight bottles and I can now say with truth that I fedl just as well to-day as I did at twenty-flve, and can do just as good a day’s work on the farm, although I had not done any work for several years.” Truly, your friend, Mr. Dulaney's address is Campbell, Ohio. “ I had catarrh in the head for years and trouble with my left lung at tb9 same time. You put so much faith in your remedies that I concluded to try one bottle or two, and I derived much benefit therefrom. I used up three bottles of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, five bottles of your “ Golden Medical Discovery,” and in four months I was myself again. I could not sleep on my left side, and now I can sleep and eat heartily. So long as I have your medicines on hand 1 have no need of a doctor ; I do not think my house in order without them. Yours truly, Marlow, Baldwin Co., Ala. If it would be any more convincing, we could easily fill the columns of this paper with letters testifying to the cure of the severest diseases of the throat, bronchia and lungs, by the use of “Golden Medical Discovery.” To build up solid flesh and strength after the grip, pneumonia, (“lung fever”), exhausing fevers, and other prostrating diseases, it has no equal. It does not make fat like cod liver oil and its nasty compounds, but solid, wholesome flesh. A complete treatise on Throat, Bronchial, and Lung Diseases ; also including Asthma, and Chronic Nasal Catarrh, and pointing out successful means of home treatment for these maladies, will be mailed to any address by the World’s Dispensary Medical Association of Buffalo, N. Y., on receipt of six cents in stamps, to pay postage.

Returns from the Elections In Illinois, Wisconsin and Elsewhere. Chicago, April s.— Tuesday’s aldermanic elections in this city resulted in a net gain of five members in the city council for the republicans. The majorities range from 4,000 to 10. The new council will stand: Republicans, 48; democrats, 25. The present council stands: Republicans, 38; democrats, 30. The republican west town ticket for assessor collector, supervisor and clerk, was badly beaten. In the south town the only republican elected was the nominee for assessor. The republicans elected their entire tickets in the north town. Lake View, Hyde Park and in Jefferson, while the democrats were successful in the town of Lake. The city voted in favor of the annexation of Evanstbn and Morgan Park by a large majority. But Morgan Park does not want to be a part of the city and voted two to one against annexation. The annexation proposition as tar as Morgan Park is concerned therefore falls through. Evanston did not vote on the question of annexation Tuesday, but will do so April 17. Chicago, April 6.—The election of an alderman in the First ward was fraught with scenes of bloodshed. Two candidates, Skakel and Coughlin, are in the field, the latter the regular democratic nominee, and the former an independent democrat The fight has been a close one. There were many fights at different precincts. Friends of both men were badly beaten and bruised by adherents of either. At the corner of Clark and Van Buren streets “Buff” Schwartz, a Skakelite, was shot and fatally wounded, and at the corner of Clark and Harrison, John Dee, a friend of Coughlin, received two bullets from a revolver in the hands of a follower of Skakel. Chicago, April 5. —Dispatches from seventy-five points in Illinois show republican victories in fifty-nine and democratic victories in sixteen. Milwaukee, April s.—John C. Koch, the republican candidate for mayor, and the entire republican city ticket are elected by pluralities which range from 4,000 to 6,000. The republicans will also have a majority in the common Council. Only five of the eighteen wards in the city were carried by the democrats. The new council will be composed of twenty-six republicans and ten 'democrats. The board of supervisors will be republican in about the same proportion. Returns from fifty-three points in Wisconsin indicate that the republicans were successful in forty and the democrats in thirteen.

St. Louis, April s.—Up to’ midnight returns had been received from about twenty cities in Missouri In a majority of these tne republican tickets were successful, while the democrats carried five cities, and in the remainder mixed results were noticeable.

Denver, Col., April 5. —Returns are coming in slowly on account of free scratching. Citizens’ or independent candidates are the favorites in the mountain towns and. there appears scarcely a vestige of either republicans, democrats or populists in the successful heads of tickets. At De Deque the mayor made hitnself obnoxious and about fifteen women returned to the polls in the afternoon armed with horse whips for him but he decamped on learning of their approach. At Highlands VV. C. T. U. members canvassed candidates on their reputation as drinking men and snowed under everyone they opposed. Mrs. Carrie West, republican candidate for town clerk, was elected. Spring Hill, Kan., April 6. —At the election here women were elected to fill all the municipal offices, including mayor, councilman and police judges.
