Tndigestion IS not only distressing complaintof itaelf, but, by causing the blood to become depraved and the system enfeebled, is the parent of innumerable maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicated with Liver Complaint, is proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway Centre, Mich.: "Liver complaint and indigestion made my life a burden and came near nding my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold agony, was reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly had strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at alL Within the time mentioned several physicians treated me without giving relief. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good until I commenced the use of Aytr's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results. Soon After commencing to take the Sarsaparilla I could see an improvement in my condition. My appetite beean to return and with it came the ability to digest all the food taken, my strength improved each day, and after a few months of faithful attention to your directions. I found myself a well woman, able to attend to all household duties. The medicine has given me a new lease of life."

A MONSTERCAUGHT IN LAKE MANITAU Ottr iix Feet Long and Weiching 215 Poandi-Other State News fieveral Weddings Shot Ills Son's Wife A Farmer's Salclde, Etc. ROCHE.STER, May 15. Special. From time whence the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, persons who have been wont to frequent the shores of Lake Mani tau, have asserted, with varyinsr force, that a great monster, or family of monsters, inhabited it apparently peaceful and pellucid waters. Many arc the fishermen and tourists who hare hastily retired from the bosom of our beautiful lake, well assured that the Indian legend was founded on fact and that absolute safety could be found only amid the sylvan shades of its classic shores. Others of more courageous natures hare vainly sought, by means or force and artifice, to capture the monster, or one of them, with the view of either dispelling an illusion or verifying a fact. IJut last night a brace of fishermen, bold beyond compare, succeeded in landing a specimen, which, when brousrht into town, weighed and placed on exhibition, created the wildest excitement, until all had gratified their curiosity. The captive measures six feet four inches in length, with a four foot trirth, and weighs m2 pounds. Lyintj in state on a table in the Commercial house sample rooms, and subjected to the critical eyes of our local scientists, he was promptly classified as of the order thondropterygians. lie is by no means the lararest of his species, but even with hi size and manifest htrength, coupled witli his somewhat peculiar shap-, he is well calculated to inspire fear in the hearts of all but the truly brave. An admission fee of ten cents has already netted the captors a handsome turn. It is their intention to carry their prize to Feru, where the show will be continued. A FARMER FLEECED. The Same Old Confidence Game, With a Few Variations. Adam?, May 10. Special. William Jones is a wealthy farmer living near Van Wert. A few days azo a stranger introduced himself to Jones as a judge from Pennsylvania, representing that he desired to purchase a farm. Jones has several farms, and took the "judge" to look at one of them, which he was to buy at a stipulated price. On his return from the farm, Jones and the "judge" met two men, and a conversation sprang up which ended in the strangers introducing a game of cards. Jones wouldn't ganble, but the "judtje" had a little pame with the gamblers, coming outaslieht winner. Then the stakes were increased, and the "judge" confidentially informed Jones that if he had jut $2,-Vi more, he could "do" the gamblers for $-3,Oytf and that without this money, he probably couldn't buy the farm. Jones believed the ''judge's" yarn and went to the bank at rerryville and got 52,,00. The judge's dead sure thing did not pan out and he lost the Hakes, whereat Jones and the "judtre" were vehement in denunciation of the gamblers and demanded the instant return of the money. The gamblers drew a revolver, which the judge courageously seized and pointed it at them, whereat t'ney took to their heels. Strange to say. the revolver wouldn't go otl" ihotigh the gamblers did. Jonesand the judjje bewailed their loss in concert, the one at the loss of his money and the prospect of selling his farm, and the judge because he couldn't buy the farm. The judge has now dieapp -a red, and it has ju.-t dawned upon Jones that he is added to the long list of victims of confidence games. A Hk Fire at i oblesTtlle. NoRLK.viLl.K, May 17. Special. A bi.g fire broke out iu this place this evening, whif-h for several hours threatened to destroy the entire city, f-'hortly after 1 o'clock smoke was discovered issuing from the top of the Journal building, situated on tbe main ttreet of the city.

Tiie Jonraal building was totally destroyed. It was owned by A. J. Wilkiu?, mayor, and the lower floor consisted of several business rooms, all of which were completely wiped out.

The building and stock were well insured with the exception of W. Allen Fisher's building, on which the insurance was very light. The hardware building is owned by Capt. James A. Harrisand Ieonnrd Wild. Tin; total loss will probably aggregate $20.000. At the beginning of the fire the natural gas was shut oil", thus obviating the possibility of dangerous explosions. A fire-engine and truck from Indianapolis arrived about 2 o'clock, but they were too late to be of any service. The Spencer Murder Trial. CORYPOS, May I. Special.

Harrison and His IJrother. N. Y. Times.l The appointment by President Harrison of his own brother to an office under the federal government is exciting a good deal of severe and some contemptuous criticism. It is, of course, one that no man of sensitive self-respect, in Mr. Harrison's place, would have ruade, and it is hardly a justification to say that Mr. Harrison must judcre for himself how much respect he deserves, lie can at least b3 sure that be will get no more from others than he shows to himself. If he chooses to act as if the appointing power were a personal privilege, there is nothing in the law to prevent him. but he must not complain if the public take him at his own estimate.
