Do Not Think for a Moment
That catarrh will in time wear out. The the-
ory Is false. Men trr to believe It because ill
would be pleasant if true but it is not as we
know. Do not let an acute attack of cold In
the head remain unsubdued. It is liable to de-
velop into catarrh. Yeu can rid yourself of
the cold and avoid ail chance of catarrh by
using Dr. Hage’s Catarrh Remedy. If already
Hfnicted rid yourself of thia troublesome dis-
ease speedily by the same means. At all drug-
gists. •

Where Is He?
Elliott A. Derby a clerk In the quar-
termaater’soffice has been missing since
the last day of January. On that day he
left borne saying he was going down
town and be was seen In the city and
spoken to by persons who knew him and
seemed then to be all right but since
that night he has not been seen and no
Intelligence can be gained of bltn. His
wife and seven children are left desti-
tute. and she. believing that he has met
with foul plav. Is maddened with anx-
iety. Some who knew him at tbe post
say they fear that be has become de-
ranged in Intellect and claim that recent
actions support this view and as Derby
was a sober reliable man devotedly at-
tached to his family this appears to be
tbe only tangible solution of the myste-
rious disappearance.
Derby Is described as as man 38 years
of age 5 feet 4 Inches high fair com-
plexion. blonde beard tinged red. but
bls hair Is somewhat darker; eyes blue
features small. When last seen he was
attired tn dark outer clothes and wear-
ing a black Derby hat.
It transpired this marnlng that on the
21st of January E. A. Derby gave a
prommlssory note to a citizen for $2l
due on tbe day on which be disap
peered but whether or not this has any
connection with bls disappearance Is
quite another question. Another citi-
zen says that Derby wav in his opinion
during the last few days he wav seen
here in a demented condition.

PRESS COMMENT.
New York Mail and Express: Scratch
a mugwump and you will find a free
trader.
St. Louis Globe Democrat: For pres-
ident in 1888 Robert T. Lincoln of Uli-
nois; for vice president George F. Hoar
of Maeeachusetts.
Nashville American (Dem.): New
England has had her day. Tbe south’s
great day Is but dawning. There is
much of encouiagement In the elgns
unless we fail to read them aright.
Cleveland Leader: The gulf between
Thurman and the boodle democrats of
Ohio promises to become as wide and
deep as that between tbe state of hon-
est men and tbe condition of penitenti-
ary convicts.
New Orleans Pelican: From every
band good omens can be seen and if re-
publicans are but true to themselves
Henry Clay Warmouth will be our next
governor and our state administration
republican.
San Francisco Alta: The Caicago
Tribune would better advocate a con-
tinuance of the treasury surplus. To
even up for being right on that subject
it has to be wrong on everything eloe
and a fool upon most things.
New York Times: We are afraid it Is
too late for Mr. Hill to learn bis lesson
in time to benefit by it but be is in a fair
way to become convinced that the
presidency of the United States can
not be won by petty political tricks aud
chicanery.
Boston Transcript: Tbe democrats in
refusing to admit oral testimony to
prove tbe existence of tbe naturalization
certificate issued to Congressman White
of Indiana are duplicating the blunder
they made in refusing to bear Thoebe’s
case against Speaker Carlisle.
Philadelphia Press: Democratic or-
gans ail over the country continue to
bowl at Senator Chandler of New
Hampshire and tbe Senator just as
earnestly continues bis demand for fair
elections and an honest count at the
south. There never was a clearer case
of cause and eflect.
Philadelphia Times: There is natural
sympathy for the Schuykiil miners as
there ever must be for labor that is not
well paid but there Is no sympathy for
the insane effort to force the miners to
maintain a strike in defense of railway
men who struck against satisfactory
work and pay.
New York Commercial-Advertiser:
The probability is that Mr. Cleveland’s
friends will gain their point in the end
for it is scarcely conceivable that Gov-
ernor Hill and bls retainers are so stupid
as not to see the fatal consequences of
an open schism In democratic party
councils in this state.

BUFFALO DEMOCRATS BOILING
A Prominent Faction In Arms
Against the President.
Buffalo N. Y. Jan. bo.—The naming
of the democratic county committee by
the chairman of last year’s convention
has raised quite a rumpus among some
of the local democrats Wm. F.
Sheehan leader of tbe democratic mi-
nority of tbe state assembly- J. C. Bhet-
ban secretary of tbe New York Aque-
duct ccmmisalon and a member of
tbe Tammany bcclety and E. H. Butler
editor of the News are bitter enemies of
Police Commissioner Michael Newell
who has been appointed one of the new
members. The bbeebands are strong
Hill men and carry great strength both
here and In New York City where John
C. has a large amount of patronage at
bls disposal. The News is the psper
which brought Cleveland out for
governor and boomed him for
president. Butler tbe owner has
received no recognition at tbe
hands of the president and has
shown bis soreness over it several time*
during tbe year. Today the News con-
tained several editorial squibs pitching
into Chairman Laing who appointed
the committee and signs point to tbe
paper opposing Cleveland unless tbe
breach Is healed. The Sheehan faction
Is in arms.and. unless Governor Hill in-
terferes will tight Cleveland from this
out.

Gen. Sheridan is a conspicuous flgnre
anywhere. He would attract attention in

he is a favorite guest at all social distin-

is not present to lend the glitter of his
successful name to the company. Gen.
Vandever of California who was a dis-
tinguished soldier in the western army
once had an encounter with Sheridan
before the latter had achieved fame which
is worth relating. It was in the early
days of the war. Sheridan was then a
captain and chief quartermaster in Gen.
Curtis’ army in Missouri. Sheridan was
disgusted with his position and was
known as a great fault finder and a re-
calcitrant generally. Vandever was com-
mander of a regiment and had been in-
structed by Curtis to move forward at
daylight. He sent a messenger to Sheridan
asking him for wagons to be used to carry
the baggage on the march. Sheridan sent
back word that he had no wagons to spare
and Vandever replied that if he did not
send tbe wagons at once he would go and
take them. Sheridan said laughingly:
“Well there is no telling what these
volunteer fellows won’t do so I guess I
will send Vandever the wagons.”
Sheridan did not look much like a hero
in those days; he went about in an old
buggy drawn by a mnle unnoticed and
unsuspected of possessing military quali-
ties of the very highest order. Uis rela-
tions with Gen. Curtis were unpleasant
and he finally resigned and was
afterward assigned to recruit duty.
While thus engaged he was sent to
Detroit where he was given command
of a regiment of cavalry which was soon
sent to the front and that gave him the
opportunity to display his wonderful fac-
ulty for rapidity of action skill in combi-
nation aud the power of making his men
move as one mnffj Inspired by enthusiasm
to the highest degree of reckless bravery
and daring.—Washington Cor. San Fran-
cisco Chronicle.
