Our neighboring cities are all holding interviews with their Chinese laundrymen relative to the visit of Li Hung Chang to this country.

Whik leading a cow home, she childlike fastened the rope around her wrist little expecting it would be the cause of her death. The cow became staitled at some passing object and began to run, throwing the child down and dragging her until . •# hfe was extinct. The famous seduction case isover. The jury came to the conclusion that they would not agree and Judge Peterson sent them home. Reports are current that the jury when discharged stood eleven for $7,000.00 and one for $3,000.00 and had been that way without a change since yesterday morning. This means that the case will be tried again and considerable more expense attached to the already large amount of costs. It seems to be the universal opinion of people who have heard the evidence in the case that the girl is entitled to damages, but the last jury could not fix the amount.

Your Boy Won’t Live A Vlonth. So Gilman Brown, of 34 Mill street. South Gardner, Mass., was told by the doctors. His son had lung trouble, following typhoid malaria, and he spent three hundred and seventy-five dollars with doctors who finally gave him up, saying: “Your boy won’t live a month.” He tried Dr, King’s New Discovery and a few bottles restored him to health and enabled him to go to work a perfectly well man. He says he owes his present good health to the use of Dr. King's New Discovery, and knows it to be the best in the worbi for lung trouble. Trial bottles free at Blackburn’s drug store.

It’s so strange that such simple thiir|s are overlooked by those who want health. Food makes health. It makes strength—and strength wards off sickness. The man who had never been sick was strong because he always digested his food, and Jou could become the same by helping your stomach to work as well as his.
