Head this: “I want to praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla. My health run down, and I had the grip. After that, my heart and nervous system were badly affected, so that I could not do my own work.

A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a’perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused bv the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. Read the label. If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first.

HEAT RECOBD BROKEN AUGUST WEATHER IS EXPERIENCED IN APRIL. By Besinning Before Sunrise the Thermometer at Chicago Works Iteelf Up to 88 at 4 o’Clock, and Winter-Gar-ment-Wearing Public Melts. Oppressive Weather. Records in the weather line underwent a shock Thursday, from which they cannot recover for at least a year. V\ ith a unanimity that was admirable all the thermometers and all the old residents agree that it was the hottest April day that ever fell to their Jot.

The thermometer in the Chicago Auditorium tower, which always is bashful about climbing up too high, registered at one time during the afternoon as high as 84, but its metallic brothers in the streets below were not at all backward in pro- ' claiming their knowledge that it was 88. I The weather records hold only two cases I approaching that of Thursday, and those । two days were in 1893 and 1894,’ respectively. But no proofs written or unwritten cohid persuade the people that it wasn’t hottest day that any April ever produced. It began long before the sun shot up over Lake Michigan in the early morning. By 8 o'clock the jubilant mercury tube registered 78. From that time on the metal seemed to have things its own, way. It shot up with each succeeding hour until at 4 o'clock it registered just 88. At the same time the marking in the Auditorium tower had it 84. The trouble, as everybody agreed, was that people were,afraid to discard woolens, which had been in use dining the winter, for lighter underwear. \\ bile tho temperature went up and up the people kept saying with a fatal persistency, /'Well, it’ll be cooler to-morrow. It's only April and this can’t last.” But that brought no relief, and the tired men and

■women simply kept on perspiring. One man was overcome by the heat. Chicago was not alone in its torpidity, |New York just tied the record of 84 deIgrees, and the official thermometer of St. 'Louis, which, like Chicago's, is bashful about too high an ascension, registered 88. In Louisville there was a good, hot, baseball temperature of SG, and even frigid Boston mustered up a marking of 7G. The hot wave extended over practically the whole Mississippi vaHley.

MICHIGAN PROHIBITIONISTS. Adopt a Free Silver Platform and Elect National Delegatee. The Michigan Prohibitionists, in session at Lansing, spent Thursday discussing the relative merits of the dominant idea and the broad-gauged platform. The dominant idea-men succeeded in capturing a majority of the Committee on Resolutions and secured a majority report making no mention of free silver. The minority, however, reported a free silver plank and a resolution instructing the delegation to the national convention to work for a free silver plank in the national platform. The minority report was adopted unanimously’and the free silver plank by an overwhelming majority. The resolution of instructions was adopted by a close vote. The delegates-at-large are Henry A. Reynolds of Pontiac, Samuel Dickie of Albion, George 11. Malone of Lansing and Rev. Jolin Russell of New Haven. Mrs. Jane Hutchens, a new woman of Pierce, Neb., with an ambition to figure as a “bad man,” visited Norfolk a few days ago, became inebriated, purchased a revolver and, returning home, opened fire on pedestrians on the principal street. She was disarmed after a lively tussle with the town marshal. A. Irene Dupont Coleman, son of Bishop Leighton Coleman, of the Delaware diocese of the Protestant Episcopal Church, has renounced the faith of his fathers and joined the Roman Catholic Church.

AKMY HARDSHIPS. No One but a Veteran Can Realize the Sufferings from Army Life. It Often Makes Onr Able-Bodied Men Helpless Invalids—Tbe Story of One Who Suffered for Twenty Years. From the Farmers' Voice, Chicago, Edson A. Wood, who now lives at 990 Washington boulevard, Chicago, •’ born on a farm in Wyoming County, Y„ fifty years ago. As a you t suffered two sun strokes in the fields. When the war broke out, he jonied U 57th Illinois Volunteers, nHh whuh he served two years, when sick liess to his discharge. The effects of the sun strokes and his army life ““^mined his health and he soon found his brain, beait and kidneys were affected. lor eigl years he was with the Street Car Company; but was forced t seek lighter work, as the exposure increased his bronchial and asthmatic troubles. His constitution gradually but surely breaking down, strange dizzy spells becoming more frequent, he tinally sought relief in Dr. Williams’ I’ink Fills. He said to a <eporter: “It was some time about a year ago when I was very poorly, that my head was giving me a great deal of trouble, dizzy spells, aches and queer feelings, and then 1 also had a strange feeling of uncertainty in the use of my lower limbs when walking. "Physicians examined my condition closely and were of the opinion that I had all the first symptoms of locomotor ataxia, and 1 believe they were right, also last summer 1 had a very hard time with an attack of tonsilitis and neuralgia, from which 1 did not recover for some time. It was then that I commenced to take these Fink Fills, and had only taken n few boxes when 1 discovered a remarkable change for tho better in every way. The pills seemed to relieve me of aches and sains, the symptoms of locomotor ataxia lave left me entirely, and they have made me strong and feel like myself. "1 am going to continue with tho use of tlte pills for the reason that having relieved me of the ailments I thought had come to stay, having been caused thirty years ago from hardships in the army, I am practically rid of them and will lose no efforts when I have the remedy at hand to keep them rid. lam only too glad to tell all my friends what experience 1 have had with Dr. Williams’ Fink Pills, ami when they sec tho good physical condition 1 am in now, although near sixty years of age. they will come to the same conclusion as myself. "Tho above is a correct statement of facts concerning myself. (Signed) EDSON A. WOOD.” Subscribed and sworn to before me this 22d day of January. IS9G. ROBERT ANSLEY. Notary Public.

A Russian Kcmedy. “Some years ago,” said Paderewski, the other day In the Chicago Evening Post, "I dined with an official of the Russian army. Tills official had In his command an officer of great ability who was addicted to strong drink. It was arranged that the man should take dinner along with us that day. Instead of soup, the first course served to him was brandy, which he must swallow a spoonful at a time, just ns ho would have swallowed soup. After the first spoonful lie was so sick that lie implored to be spared. Inder cover of n drawn revolver the official commanded him to swallow every spoonful In tho plate. The officer never drank a drop of liquor after that. Try to drink champagne from a cup or liquor ns that man was forced to drink It. It will make you deathly sick.” A Cut Worth Having. One of the greatest sm c'-si x in the history of this country is that achieved by Boston's unique 5 cent magazine, The Black Cat. In seven months it has reached a sal? oY one quarter vs a m:lli"U copies per issue. The chief reason for this is that each number contains half a dozen of the most original and fascinating stories that brains and genius can produce and money can bay. The Philadelphia Call aptly says: Its phenomenal success has already earned for it the title, "The Marvel of tho Magazine World,” and it would certainly be Impossible to find in a single number of any other publication such captivating tales as are published monthly in The Black Cat. And tlsc Boston Post pronounces ii the most fascinating 5 cents' worth on earth. Rochester Post Express. This most fascinating of nil the modern periodicals is issued by The Story Publishing Company, Boston. Mass., at 5 cents a copy, or 50 cents a year.

Victor Hugo's Daughter. Most people have forgotten that Victor Hugo had an insane daughter, who Is still lining in a lunatic asylum near Paris. A day or two ago a family gathering was held to appoint a guardian in place of Mr. Auguste Vacqueric, who held the office till death. The trust now falls upon Victor Hugo's next surviving bosom friend, M. Paul Meurice, to be succeeded in case of another vacancy by the poet’s grandson, Georges Hugo. The story of Adele Hugo is sad and romantic. She eloped with an English officer to India, and was there married without the French legal formalities. Her wedded life was unhappy, and her mind gave way under the strain. The husband dies some fifteen years ago at Singapore. 8100 Reward, 8100. The readers of tills paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science lias been able to cure in all its stages, and that Is catarrh. Hail's ( atarrh Cure Is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment.

Menelek is Sorry. j A French physician who visited the Abyssinian King Menelcu’s camp, In February, writes that Menelek has expressed sorrow at the great bloodshed resulting from tho war. The Shoan army was in excellent condition at that time and had been placed under strict discipline, an unusual thing for such troops. ’1 hey were reported also to have

acquired a certain dignity of character and bearing, which bad previously been entirely wanting. Old Menelek expressed no doubt as to the final outcome of the war, but stated that he hated the bloodshed, and had only acted on the defensive. He scarcely had any idea of the great slaughter of Italian troops which bis soldiers would so soon make.

Abysainlans Are Good Fighters. The Italians, of course, explain their defeat by the presence of French and Russian officers with Menelek, but It may be questioned if any Anglo-Indian general accustomed to mountain warfare would agree with them. Drill does not improve Oriental soldiers like the Abyssinians. They are Semites in blood, of exceptional courage, men who did not hesitate to charge into the center of the Italian regiments; they have been accustomed to defend their hills for a thousand years; and they have generals accustomed to utilize masses of rn.cn who recently destroyed an army from Khartoum at Kassala. They had good rilles, they were on the higher ridges when they started, and their king, Menelek, is obviously a I soldier of the Hyder Ali type—that is, a man who can induce his soldiery to die. To beat such men they must either be decoyed out of the hills or attacked from above, and the Italians were still mounting when an avalanche of riflemen swept down on them. The number of the dead suggests that the Italians fought well, but the frightful proportion of officers killed, two-thirds the whole number, tells a different tale. The officers, we fear, exposed themselves to arrest a panic, which may, however, broken out at first only among the native troops.—London Spectator.

I H. J. Martin, of 702 T street, N. W„ Washington, D. C„ in a recent Interview had with him by Mr. H. D. Brodie, of the Washington Chronicle, said: “Having suffered for manv years with dyspepsia, indigestion and biliousness, I tried every known remedy, consulted many physiciv.s with the hope of getting cured or even relief, but nothing seemed to relieve me. After meals I would feel as if a . ball of lead was lodged in my stomach, tired and listless, as though life was scarcely worth living. Finally I was attracted to the ad of Ripans Tabules, and concluded to try them. After taking the first two or three I was surprised to find the relief they gave, and by the time I emptied the first box I felt like a new man.
