A Case of Conscience.

Bill—Gill wouldn’t think of flailing on Sunday. Jill—No. but he’ll sit around and lie about it, nil the same.—Yonkers Statesman.

SUFFERED 25 YEARS Congressman Botkin, of Winfield, Kansas. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Congressman Botkin says: "My Dear Doctor—lt fives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative qualities of your medicines-Pe-ru-ua and Man-a-lln. I have been afflicted more or lesa for a quarter of a century wi n catarrh of the etomach and constipation. A residence In Washington has Increased these troubles. A rew bottles of your medicine have given me almoat complete relief, and I am sure that a continuation of them will effect a permanent cure. Pe-ru-na is surely s wonderful remedy for catarrhal affectlona. “J. D. BOTKIN.’’ The most common form of summer catarrh Is catarrh of the stomach. This Is generally known as dyspepsia. Congressman Botkin was a victim of this disease twenty-live years. Pe-ru-na cures these cases like magic. Address I>r. Hartman. Columbus, 0., for a free book. The microbes that cause chills and fever aud malaria enter the system through mucous membranes made porous by catarrh. Pe-ru-na heals the mucous membranes and prevents the entrance of malarial germs, thus preventing and curing these affections.

AGED CASHIER IS ATTACKED!

Murderously Assaulted in a Palatine, Ill., Bank by Supposed Robber. Cashier Fred J. Filbert of Charles H. Patten's bank at Palatine, Ill., was beaten with a hammer in the hands of a man whose purpose is thought to have been robbery, Wednesday afternoon. The assault occurred in the bank. Filbert’s skull was crushed by two blows. The assailclaims, who claims his name is Walter Lawton and is 32 years of age, was prevented from carrying out his supposed plan to rob the bank by Henry Plagge, an aged farmer, who entered the place immediately after the cashier’s bleeding body had been thrown under a desk. Lawton struck him on the head with the hammer repeatedly, but the aged man fought for his life. Plagge wrenched the hammer from his antagonist’s hand and the stranger than drew a revolver. In the struggle between the two men for this weapon it was discharged and Lawton was shot in the abdomen. Lawton was then seized by townspeople who had heard the sounds of the struggle and the cries of the wounded men. He told the village authorities thaf he had come pto take the life of the bank cashier because he had broken up his (Lawton’s) home in New York five years ago. The townspeople do not believe this story, as it is well known that Mr. Filbert has not been in New York within twenty-five years. Lawton was taken to a Chicago hospital, being hastened out of the village by the authorities on account of the threats of summary punishment made by enraged citizens, and there he died.

DEWEY’S HOT WORDS.

Told German Admiral We Were Ready to Fight the World. In a letter from Nice to the Chicago Record, Jo*. L. Stickney gives Admiral Dewey’* account of the incident with Admiral Von Diederichs in Manila bay. Admiral Dewey is quoted as saying: “Admiral Von Diederichs sent his flog lieutenant to me with a list of complaints that he wished to make against the w.iy I treated the ships under his command. They had exhausted my patience. 1 had been forbearing in the extreme, and this protest of complaint was too much. The German officer who brought the message was on the afterdeck, and when I read it I stepped to the door of my cabin. He came to meet me and stood in the doorway. As nearly as I can remember my exact words were: ‘What is it you want? Do you want war? You know what that means. If you do you can have it Iti five minutes. We are a peaceable people, but we have got into a fight now and we are ready to go on. If necessary we are ready to fight the world. You may tell Admiral Diederichs that I am blockading this bay, and that I shall take such steps as are the right and the duty of the blockading officer.’ ”

Pain Conquered t Health Restored by Lydia E. Pink* ham’s Vegetable Compound.

[LETTER TO MRS. PLNKEAM NO. 92,649]

“ I feel it my duty to write and thank you for what your Vegetable Compound has done for me. It is the only medicine I have found that baa done me any good. Before taking your medicine, I was all run down, tired all the time, no appetite, pains in my back and bearing down pains and a great sufferer during menstruation. After taking two bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's. Vegetable Compound I felt like a new woman. lim now on my fourth bottle and all my pains have left me. I feel better than I have felt for three years and would recommend your Compound to every suffering woman. I hope this letter will help others to And a cure for their troubles.” Mbs. Dklli Rxmickkb, Rensselaer, Iso. The serious ills of women, develop from neglect of early symptoms. Every pain and ache has a cause, and the warning they give should not be disregarded. Mrs. Pinkham understands these troubles better than any local physician and will give every woman free advice who is puzzled about her health. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass. Don't put off writing until health is completely broken down. Write at the first indication of trouble.

The Barber Got His Money.

A suspicious-looking individual entered a barber shop in Manchester, and while being shaved casually remarked: "I suppose a good many customers forget to pay?” "No, sir,” the barber replied. ‘"There was a time when I used to give credit, but I never do now. In fact, nobody asks for it any more.” “How’s that?” “Well, you see,” said the barber, trying the edge of his razor on his thumbnail, “whenever I shaved a gentleman who asked me to mark it up I put a little nick in his nose with my razor, and kept tally that way. They very soon didn’t want to run up bills.” There was a tremor in the customer's voice as he answered, from b?neatb the lather: “Do you object to being paid in advance ?”—Tid-Bits.

PLEASES ITS PATRONS.

Grand Trunk Adds New Dining Cars to Its Equipment. The Grand Trunk Railway has added two additional dining cars to its equipment. They are models of artistic beauty and materially add to the pleasure of traveling over this popular system. With improved first-class coaches and the finest sleeping cars that are run on any through trains in America, it was essential to have the finest that could be got in the way of dining cars. The management, therefore, placed these two new dining salons on the middle and western divisions, running between Suspension Bridge and Chicago. The cars are much appreciated and admired by the traveling public. The cars are 74 feet over all and are equipped with standard wide vestibules, steel platforms and six wheel trucks, with 33-inch steel tyred wheels. Air signals are attached, an anti-telescop-iug device affixed, and all modern appliances added. The general exterior appearance of the cars is similar to the new standard day coaches which are run on the Grand Trunk system. The windows are glazed with heavy plate glass, are all double, being dust proof when shut. The dining room is large, being 31 feet 8 inches long, and will seat thirty persons comfortably. The general style of the interior design is colonial, in quartered oak. The chairs are of oak, upholstered in leather. The windows are decorated with costly draperies, and the openings into the dining room are provided with ornamental portieres. The floors are carpeted with handsomely designed Wilton throughout the whole length of the car. and the vestibnled floors are covered with rubber tiling. The kitchen and pantry are equipped with refrigerators, range, steam table, lockers and all modern conveniences, the tables being covered with polished brass. A very handsome and beautifully designed sideboard is placed at one end of the dining room, jnst in front of pantry and opposite to the sideboard a wine locker is provided. China and linen closets, wardrobes and white metal washstands are in evidence in accordance with modern practice. The cars are heated with hot water coils in connection with steam from the engine and lighted by what is known as the Adams and Westlake Acme lamps, and the trimmings throughout are of solid bronze, most beautifully designed. The new car which ia now running between Suspension Bridge and Port Huron, *is elaborately decorated in a general green and gold effect, while the one operated between Port Huron and Chicago is artistically decorated in gold, maroon being the predominating color, giving the car a most comfortable appearance. Altogether they are superb creations of skilled workmanship and greatly admired by all who see them. *

Tamed by Milk and Music.

A veracious resident of Germantown tells this snake story: “Three or four’ years ago 1 spent my summer vacation on a farm in Lancaster County. Behind a hedge, near the woodpile, there lived a little snake, and as I had beard that milk and music had a great attraction for snakes I made up my mind to try the combination on this fellow. So one afternoon I sat down on a fagot of wood, with a tin plate of milk on the ground beside me, and began to play on a mouth organ. In a little while the snake stuck his bead out from the hedge, listened, and then wriggled slowly and timidly toward me. Watching me out of the corner of his eye, he came on. till he reached the milk. He drank it, curled up and listened to the music, aod after I stopped playing he crawled back to his hole under the hedge again. Every clear afternoon that summer I entertained my little snake with milk and music, and he never once missed coming out to see me. Indeed, some days when I was late I found him waiting fer me, patiently dozing on his back, with his tiny head pillowed on the edge of the tin plate. The next summer he was still there; he remembered me and was glad, heartily glad, to have me back again. But the third summer he was gone. The tin plate, all rusted, lay where It had always lain, but the hole beneath the hedge was choked with weeds and no little snake came out to drink my milk and listen gratefully to the music of my mouth organ. Doubtless he was dead.”—Philadelphia Record.

Fifty Cents for Nothing.

What will tho Inventive brain of man do next? This is a question some one asks almost daily. There is one, though, who leads all others, who for a quarter of a century has been making tine laundry starch, and to-day is offering the public the finest starch ever placed on the market. Ask your grocer for a coupon book which will enable you toget»he first two paekagesof this new starch, “RED CROSS” (trade mark brand), also two children’s Sbakspearc pictures, painted in twelve beautiful colors, natural as life, or the Twentieth Century Girl Calendar, all absolutely free. All grocers are authorized to give ten large packages of “RED CROSS STARCH” with twenty of the Shakspeare pictures or ten of the Twentieth Century Girl Calendars to the first five purchasers of the ENDLESS CHAIN STARCH BOOK. This Is one of the greatest offers ever made to introduce “RED CROSS” laundry starch, J. C. Hubinger’s latest invention.

An Australian Gold Field.

The romance of Australian gold mining is not inaptly illustrated by the history of the Wyalong gold field, in New South Wales. Less than seven years ago it was simply a grazing district, consisting largely of crown lands. At the end of 1894 the settled population in the Wyalong and Barmedman districts was between 4,000 and 5,000, the number of claims worked being about 300. In 1895 the quantity of gold obtained was 25,497 ounces; in 1896 it was 33,195 ounces; and in 1897, 34,370 ounces, being the largest auriferous output of any gold field in the colony, the next richest being Hillgrove, with 31,886 ounces. The total yield from tbe Wyalong gold field from its discovery at the end of 1593 up to the present has been estimated at 130,000 ounces.

NEBRASKA’S GREAT CORN CROP

300,000,000 Bushel* I* the Estimate and It May Re More. A conservative estimate of Nebraska's corn crop, which is now safe from frost, is 300,000,000 bushels. It is hard for the mind to grasp just what these figures mean. Counting 00 bushels of shelled corn to the load, it would take five million teams to haul the crop to market, a caravan that would reach around the world. It will an arnjy of 80.000 men over two month* to husk it if they husk 60 bushels a day each. If loaded into cars of 30,000 capacity it would take GOO.OOO cars to haul the crop, a train over 4,000 miles long. At no time within the past ten years has there been such a tendency on the part of farmers* to look for new locations. either to better themselves or to provide homes for their children. Many sections in tbe East are overcrowded while thousands of acres of rich, wellwatered lands can still be had in Nebraska and northern Kansas at comparatively low prices Thousands will visit that country this fall, as the railroads have announced cheap-rate harvest excursions for Oct 3 and 17.

Trouble with Ours in Cores.

A young American, in 'the employ of the contractors of the Seoul-Chemulpo Electric. Ballroad, writes interestingly of the netv electric road in Seoul, Corea. The road was well built, the cars coming from America and motormen were imported from Japan to run them. Fer soqie reason the fenders and gongs did not arrive, and this was the chief cause of the trouble. Those who were interested in the railroad Insisted that the opening of the road should not be postponed, and, accordingly, the citizens were out in crowds to see “the devil wagon run by a wire.” Soon after the car started, a child ran across the track, became excited, and was run down and killed. A mob soon gathered, which be.gan to pelt the cars with stones, and all on board fled for their lives. The car was torn to pieces and then burned. The wires were pulled down, but, fortunately a serious accident was averted by turning off the current at the power house. Another car was sent out later in the day and met the same fate. A mob started for the pow r er house, but was dispersed by the police.

Have a Piece of Devonshire.

It was at an open-air meeting in a village near Exeter that a well-known speaker was holding forth. “Men,” he shouted, “what we want and what we are going to get Is free land. We want the land for the people. FTee land, men, we want, and we are going to have free land.” Just then a large piece of earth landed on the speaker’s eye, and while he was removing the clod a voice yelled out: “There’s a piece of Devonshire to begin with!”—Tit-Bits.
