Columbus. ,lnd., Aug. 22. —While money has never been acknowledged to be an excellent help to the little god of love, an unfair advantage would seem to have been taken of two greenbacks that were received at Irwin's bank here today. On one, which was a one-dollar bill, was written, “Albert Jones, Chillicothe, Mo.„ and on the other a five-dollar bill, was written, “Miss Mary A. Bran, Winfield, Kas., Box A." Already a number of letters are speeding westward from this place to Mary and Albert asking them to correspond and even hinting at matrimony. o ROOTS, HERBS AND BARKS. You can no doubt recall the collection of roots, herbs and barks your grandmother made every fall for the family medicine chest It is interesting to note that the most successful remedy for female ills had its origin more than 30 years ago in one of these home medicine chests, and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is made today in immense quantities from those same roots and herbs with extreme accuracy, care and cleanliness. o WRITE HIM AT FREMONT, MICH.

IS SERIOUSLY ILL Mrs. Sarah Craig Suffers from Attack of Nervous Prostration RELATIVES ARE HERE Her Son and Her Brothers and Sister Are at Bedside of the Patient Mrs. Sarah Craig, widow of the late , Captain Craig, is very seriously ill at her home on south Fifth street, and the friends and loved ones are greatly , alarmed over her condition. She has been in failing health for three weeks past and on last Friday suffered a nervous collapse which completely prostrated her. Since then she has grown constantly worse and this morning was very low. A trained nurse arrived Sunday and everything possible is being done for the patient. Her brothers, Charles and Lee Holmes of Portland, and her sister, Mrs. D. E. Studabaker and husband of Bluffton, and Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Kapp were here Sunday at the bedside of their relative and her only son Homer Craig, from Fort Wayne, came at noon today. Mrs. Craig is one of the best known ladies of this city and has friends and relatives all over the state who will hope that she may soon recover. o “AMERICANS UNCIVILIZED.” SAYS ENGLISH PAPER. “Despite their furious energy and their genius for mechanical invention, the Americans are no more civilized than the Japanese. The men are cruel and dishonest in business, and the women are hard, immeasurably conceited and impatient of the duties of domesticity.” This is the indictment of America made lately by the English Saturday Review. The occasion was a discussion of Mrs. Humphry Ward's latest novel, “Marriage a la Mode," recently published by Doubleday, Page & Company. Os Daphne, the American heroine of Mrs. Ward’s novel, the English journal says: “She is simply insufferable, conceited, pedantic, insolent, lecturing everybody. The bwok may shock those who make the mistake of regarding the Americans as a civilized people. Daphne is a splendidly drawn type, the woman who is swept into marriage by ‘a sudden gust of physical inclination;’ Is disappointed and disgusted by the first experience of marriage, and then impatiently cancels the contract, talking about her career, her individuality, her chances. Os course a great deal of the trouble,” continues our critic, "is caused by so many American girls being left in uncontrolled possession of so mucn money. Until the United States adopt a decent and uniform law of divorce, we shall persist in regarding the Americans as semi-civilized and as setting a very bad example to the rest of the world.” There now!

STONEBURNER’S NEW SHOW He Will Put on High Class Shows at the Park this Week. Workmen were busy today completing the building in which J. B.
