Makes the Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people In run down or weakened state of health derive from Hood's Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves the claim that this mcdlc'.no makes the weak strong." It does not act like a stimulant, Imparting fictitious strength from which there must follow a reaction of greater weakness than before, but in the most natural way Hood's Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feellag, creates an appetite, purifies the blood, and, In short, gives great bodily, nerve, mental and digestive strength.

Fagged Out

"Last spring I was completely fagged out. Uy strength left me and I felt sick and miserable all the time, so that I could hardly attend to my business. I took ono bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it cured nic. There Is nothing like it." li. c. Bboole, Editor Enterprise, Belleville, Mich. "I derived very much benefit from Hood's Sarsaparilla, which I took for general debility. It built me right up, and gave me an excellent appetite." Ed. Jekkins,Mt. Savage,

Souio years ago a man by the name of R. W. F. Obenchain came to this county from some place in the South and began work for W. M. Reeves on a farm near Now Market. After a few months he left and was not. seen again by Mr. Reeves until

laBt

Saturday when he sur­

prised that worthy by entering his law office in a very familiar manner. After shaking hands with Mr. Reeves he began mumbling about some parties trying to kill him and wanted to go to the Reeves homestead for protection. It was evident the man was crazy and Reeves sugg gested that he go to the poor house. This so infuriated "Oby" that he drew a murdecous looking knife and made a lunge for Mr. G. W.

Oaroon's Crankiness.

Yesterday's Logansport Journal contained the following in regard to Miss Mollie Caroons, a former resident of this city who for a number of years worked in the dining rooms of the different hotels in this city: Considerable surprise was expressod among her friends yesterday morning when it was learned that Miss Mollie Caroon, a well known and pretty dining room girl who has been an attache of the Murdock hotel had put into execution her long contemplaetd design of trying her fortune befere the foot lights and had cast her lot with that of the female minBtrels of Duncan Clark's company which attracted a goodly portion of the bald headed element of Logansport society, to the opera house the night before. It ts not stated just exactly what special role Mollie will take, but as it is delicately intimtated that the young lady can point her dainty toes heavenward with as much and as b«wild«rinj grace as that of the most accomplished high kicker that ever adorned the vaudeville stage it is not unlikely that she may contribute to the success of Mr. Clark's company by lending an element of interest to the very tame display which the bills announced as the appearance of the French high kickers, none of of whom elevated their feet higher from the stage than would comfortably carry thom over the second bar of a pasture fence. Mollie has long had visions of triumph on the stage and it is trusted that her fond dreams will not be too cruelly blasted.—Logansport Journal.

Cook's Crankiness.

George Cook,the lunatic, who attempted to break up a religious meeting at Mace last week, come to this city Monday and cut some queer monkey-shines He started by dropping into every restaurant in the city and ordering oyster stews and while the serve was being prepared would walk out with the remark he would be back shoitly. Officer Grimes was soon on his trail and capturhim near the court house. In reply to a question as to where he was going Cook said: "1 am on my way to heaven and every step brings me nearer." After being locked up ho became quite stubborn and refused to eat his victuals. After his first day's confinement without food he said to Sheriff Bible: "I will never

become as good as I am. You must

give up lands, cattle, horses and your wife and your babies just like I have, done and then I'll eat." The genial Sheriff was soon convinced him that he had done all of that and much more, after which Cook devoured enough victuals to last him a week. Last Tuesday papers were issued for his return to the asylum at Indianapolis and he will be taken over to-day or Monday.

a Death of Mrs J, N, YanSandt, Mrs. J. N. VanSau Jt died at her home corner John and Jefferson street, last Saturday afternoon aftor an illness of two weeks. The funeral occurred from the residence Monday afternoon, Rev. J. W. Green officiating.

THE MONON HOBROR

AddB Another Victim to its List in the Death of Col. Melville MoKeeMelville McKee passed peacefully away at his room in the Nutt Hotel on Tuesday morning a few minutes before 7 o'clock. Col. McKee was one of the unfortunates in the recent Monon wreck and waB brought from the scene to the hotel in a cab. Por several hours he reclined in an arm chair behind the hotel stove and talked cheerfully to his friends. To inquiries he replied that no bones were broken, yet he felt terribly shaken up and suffered pain in his side and back. At 9 o'clock he was carried to a room up stairs where the physicians made an examination of the extent of his injuries, which, aside from a few cuts and bruises, "were internal. He seemed to improve slowly and on Saturday he was able to Bit up in bed and smoke a cigar and talk to friends. On Sunday he had a sinking spell, but soon rallied and on Monday seemed greatly improved. About 6 o'clock Tuesday morning his wife, who had been at his side for several days, got up to administer a dose of medicine, A few minutes later ho cried for air and died almost immediately without a struggle.

Mr. McKee was born in Kentucky, but spent most of his life in Putnam county, where he served eight years as county clerk as a democrat. He was a resident of this city for nearly two years, but has resided in Chicago for the past eighteen months. He was G2 years of age at the time of his death and leaves a wife and one son. He was a brother of Milton McKee, of this city. The remains were shipped Lo Greoncastle and interred at Brick Chapel, where is located tile old family burying ground.

Coroner Bronaugh came over from New Ross Tuesday at noon to hold the inquest. The railroad company demanded that a post mortem be held to satisfy themselves that the death was caused from injuries received during the wreck and not from heart disease, as the company resident physician, Dr. Ensminger, pronounced it. To this the family objected and the inquest was held without the post mortem. Dr. Bronaugh began his investigations on Tuesday evening and did not conclude them until Thursday morning. Dr. Etter was ono of the attending physicians and testified that the patient never showed the least symptoms of heart disease, while Dr. Ensminger testified that he had from the first considered the deceased's condition dangerous on account of heart failure superinduced by the nervous shock sustained at the time of the disaster. The evidence all through was very conflicting and Coroner Bronaugh will reserve his verdict for a time to await any new developments which may come up.

"Nig" Bearing at Large.

Last Monday afternoon Willis Scoring' better known as "Nig," escaped from the jail and is now at large. By some means ho secured an iron bar and by climbing up into the second corridor smashed the iron bolt which locks the door in the passage way leading to the outer hall. Once in tho hall it was an easy matter to descend to the lower floor and escape without detection. His departure was not discovered until tho supper hour and by that time could have made good his escape. Sheriff Biblo and Turnkey Brannon spent the night in scouring the city without success and then turned tho matter over to tho police and offered a reward for his capture. Seering is wanted for robbing Hill's Chestnut stroet grocery early last fall.

KALAKAUA'S NAVY.

H* Had to Pawn the Gone la Order I* Get Food for the Soldiers. Reminiscences of life in the southern seas were being told by a number of acquaintances, says the Seattle PressTimes. They were all commercial travelers, and two of them had been to the islands. "Old King Kalakaua's ambition to own a navy," said one, "ended in one of the best bits of international comedy I ever heard of. I think the story, which' is perfectly true, is not generally known, and I have never seen it in print. "Por years the genial old barbarian had gazed upon the greatness of the navies of other nations and cherished the desire to be represented and have the dignity of his kingdom sustained by a real armed cruiser. "The more he saw of the warships of other nations lying in bis own harbor the more it preyed on his mind. At last the happy day came when he had saved enough notwithstanding the efforts of his cabinet officers, who tried to tempt him to play freeze-out and other games of hazard, to buy a navy for his beloved government. He had already selected the vessel he was to buy. "It was the American ship Ethan Allen, a serviceable craft bought of Americana and armed with four tenpounders. "Then Kalakaua conceived an idea of reciprocity with Samoa, the nearest neighboring group whose dignity approached that of Hawaii. "One fine day the Hawaiian navy sailed off on its mission, and in time reached the harbor of Apia. The flag of the sugar islands was a pretty sight to the commander of the vessel, and the gorgeous 'man-of-war* drove the Samoans nearly wild with envy. "A brass band, mode up of Kanakas, played the national anthem every night for 'lights out,' and every day the dusky crew strutted along the beach and looked disdainfully at the poor natives of Apia. "After awhile the stores ran low, and the Hawaiian navy was still two thousand miles from home. The commander went to the merchants of Apia and ordered a store of salt-horse and seabread. They wanted their pay in advance. The naval officer told them with considerable dignity to 'charge it.' 'To whom?' they asked. 'To King Kalakaua,' was the reply.

14

'Who is he?' came next. "The officer pitied their ignorance, but he couldn't enlighten them enough to get any stores on tick. He finally pawned the beautiful ten-pounders for enough to last during the homeward passage. "The navy is now anchored in the harbor of Honolulu, serving as a quarantine station. It is said that the last days of the king were shortened by this setback in his life's ambition, and that, frequently, when he looked up from an ace-high hand, there was a pearly tear on the side of his nose. Observers thought it was because he couldn't win that he wept, but his cabinet officials, who sat at the game, knew differently."

THE GIRL BACHELOR. S

How She Secures the Luxury of an Independent Homo. It is getting to be much the fashion for unmarried women now to have homes, rather than to live in hotels or boarding houses, says a Boston correspondent of the New Orleans TimeDemocrat. Apartments of all kinds and at all prices are to be found, from the two rooms and bath to the housekeeping suite, but it develops tho home feeling to havo one's own suite, one's own furniture and arrangements. Nearly all the new apartment hotels provide small suits for one or' two persons, where steam heat and hot water go with the rooms. The tenant pays for his own gas and provides for himself (or herself) furniture, service and food. The expense, of course, varies with the locality. For instance, in one of these hotels, located on Copley square, the finest part of the city, a lady has a suite of two rooms and bath, with private hall and two very large closets for trunks, etc., of which the rent is five hundred dollars a year.

Having her own books, pictures, bric-a-brac, bookcases, mirror and writingdesk, she required only furniture for the bedroom and a rug, sofa and chairs for the little salon. Window draperies and portier3- were got up out of the pretty and inexpensive "scrim"—at twenty-five cents a yard—and the entire cost of furnishing was within one fcSQdred dollars. The hotel had a dinhigroom on the European plan, and she also had a gas stove, on which it was easy to make tea or coffee in the morning, and with cream, rolls and fruit the dainty brea-Wast is vory easily arranged. Her rooms are tasteful and charming, and the entire cost of living does not exceed eighteen dollars a week, while such a suite in a hotel on the American plan would not be lees than fifty dollars a week.

Indian Artists.

All our North American Indians paint, and the patterns vary with the individual, with the family and with the occasion. From notes made upon Sacs and Foxes painted for the dance we will give but one or two oases. One man's face was painted black, except around the eyes and mouth, which were scarlet. Upon his forehead was a neat checkered pattern of yellow on the black background. Another face was divided by a vertical line in two parts, one of which was bright yellow, the other an equally bright green.

HU Heart Was True.

Twenty-eight years ago a young Irish girl of Downpatrick refused to marry and accompany her fiance to New Zealand, for the reason that she could not leave her mother. The old woman entered the almshouse, where her daughter cared for her until she died a short time ago. The former lorer, who had become rich in New Zealand, heard of it and sent a ticket to his sweetheart, who is now, at the age of fifty, on her way to New Zealand, and the first time beyond the limits of her native town.

THE BRAVE JACK TAR:

Risking: HU life to Bury the Corpse an Enemy. After the repulse of one of the furious assaults at Acre, says a writer in Good Words, the dead body of a French of-, fleer Was left lying In a prominent position between the walls and the besiegers' trenches. The body lay there for a day or two and attracted much attention. It was spoken about on boasd tho Tigra, which lay off Acre, and tha matter made an impression^ difficult to aocount for on the simple superstitions mind of Kelly. Only the very smartest men had been sent ashore to assist in the defense, and Kelly was not among these. But ono day ho begged for

Qn/^

obtained leave to go on shore. As soon as he entered the town he procured a shovel, a pickax, and a coil of rope, walked straight to the ramparts, and,'' declining all offers of assistance, lowered himself from an embrasure. As Kelly set foot upon the ground, and, shouldering his tools, walked deliberately toward the dead body a dozen French muskets were pointed at One of the enemy's commanders, however, divining the sailor's intentions, ordered his men to shoulder arms. In an instant both sides, as if by some common impulse, ceased firing, and Kelly, the object of breathless attention from friend and foe, stopped beside the Frenchman's corpse. He then coolly and calmly dug a grave, put the officer into it, covered him up, and taking from his pocket a small piece of board and a bit of chalk wrote on tho board: "Here you lie, old Crop," and put at the head of the grave this rough and ready memorial. "Old Crop" was no doubt honest Kelly's rendering of "Crapaud," the French for a frog, and a nickname with the sailors for all "mounseers." This pious duty done, he shouldered his implements again, walked back as deliberately as he come, and disappeared within the embrasure. The firing recommenced antf men thirsted once more for another's blood. Sir Sidney Smith, the very man to delight in such an adventure, Bent for Kelly and questioned him about it*' The simple-hearted tar could only wonder that others could find anything to wonder at in his exploit. "You were alone, were you not?" said Sir Sidney. "No, I was not alone," answered Kelly. "I was told you were," protected the commodore. "No, I wasn't alone,** was tho reply "God was with me."

TOO MUCH RED TAPE.

Why Men Dlsliko to Purchase Goodi aI Big- Dry-Goods Stores. If ever a man so far forgets himself as to make a purchase in a great drygoods store he makes a resolution on the spot which ever leads him to patronize little stores where he pays twico as much for an article but has it handed to him straight over the counter when he has bought it and is able to go di-, rectly out with it. .1

Here is a little sample experience in a big dry-goods store, says the Boston Transcript. Yesterday a man, having lost a button off his coat, went into a store which lay on his way to buy another button to replace it. A sylphlike young lady of seventeen summers waited on him, somewhat absent-mind-edly, but produced presently the right button. The price of it was five cents. The man took a nickel from his pocket and handed it to the young lady.

Think you that the transaction having thus been completed, the man could take the button which he had paid for, slip it into his waistcoat pocket and go his way? Certainly not The young lady must first make a duplicate record of the transaction upon certain complicated blanks. One of these records, together with the button, goes to another young lady not far away, who does them up in a little parcel but the other record, with the nickel, must make a long journey through a pneumatic tube or a "cash railway" to a distant cashier's desk, and the parcelmaker may not on peril of her life deliver the button to the purchaser until the cashier has duly inspected the nickel and sent back through the same interminable pneumatic tube a stamped record showing that the nickel has been received.

Now yesterday, in the case under consideration, this interesting fium-a-diddle occupied exactly ten minutes by the watch, during all of which time too man, who had paid exactly tho right change for his button, writhed vainly on his stool. All this, of course, waa for the supposed benefit of tho house, and wholly at the loss of the customer, not less than twenty cents' worth of whose time was sacrificed to this beautiful system.

A HEROIC COUPLE.

The

Be*

Wonderful Perforntnnoe of Captain and IIUi Wife. News comes from Honolulu that slapping men in that port were recently surprised to see the brig G. H. Douglass, supposed to have been lost on a coral recf-at Butaritari, sail into port with master and crew in the tost stage of exhaustion from overwork and hunger.

Capt. Holland, the master at the tinUM ef the wreck, sold the vessel for hundred dollars to E. D. Head, mastfer of the trading schooner Beid. Hft gofe tha vessel off the reef, patcittd up tbw bottom and then started with he* lor Honolulu. His voyage was remecbable. He had to make it without ehronometer or log, and with broken pumps. The vessel was leaking bad^f. Besides this, lialf of the provisions werelost, and for the Inst fonr days befbre reaching Honolulu Capt. Reid and Ub wife went without food. They did no manual labor and gave their share t» the men working the pumps.

The voyage lasted thirty-two days. During this time the men were at the pumps day and night. Tho water rose six and a half inches an hour, and this increased at the latter end of the trip, when the men were weakest and could/ barely keep the vessel from becoming water-lodged. Capt. Eeid was nearly dead from hunger and exposure, but he, brought the supposed wrecked vessel' into port. The vessel was examined] at Honolulu, and was pronounced only) slightly injured.
