The California girl who stole out
over her mother’s sleeping form to
elope with her sweetheart is a wife
worth having. If she could do that
she ought to be able to get out and
kindle the fire and get breakfast
without waking her sleeping hus
band.—Ex.
It is stated that the Rev. Dr. Tal-
mage the noted divine will wed
Miss Susie Mangum of Sing Sing
N. Y. at an early date. She is a
sister of Daniel D. Mangum Jr.
who married Dr. Talmage's daugh-
ter two years ago. Dr. T. will then
become a brother-in-law to his own
daughter.
A late Washington special says
that “there has been a report go-
ing the rounds of the press that
some of the sound money Demo-
crats now in the Senate have signi-
fied their willingness to assist the
Republicans in putting through a
tariff measure at this or the next
Congress.” Nothing goldbugs do
will surprise us.
It is hard to realize how fast the
lumber of the United States is be-
ing consumed. Nearly country of
Europe has some laws for the pres-
ervation of its forests. We have
practically none. There are about
200000 people employed in lumber-
ing today. We sold timber to the
amount of $600000000 in 1888 and
the product of lumber that year
was estimated at 30000000000 cu-
bic feet. This would make a solid
beam a foot square more than 5-
500000 miles long or enough to
make a solid roadway more than 200
feet wide and a foot thick clear
around the world.
A Northern man asks why we are
so harsh as to pensions. We answer
it is because the pension business
has been “run into the ground.”
The corruption and extravagance
connected with it is beyond compu-
tation. To think of the one item
of pensions alone costing as much
as all else put together is enough to
call a halt and reform. We think
only such soldiers as lost limbs ;uu?are
destitute should be given a pension
This is all that real patriotism calls
for. It is the duty of all men to de-
fend their country against its foes
—then they are paid while serving
as soldiers. Thousands of foreign-
ers who were soldiers alone for the
pay offered are now receiving big
pensions; this is rank injustice and
robbery to the taxpayers. But the
subject is so full of rottenness we
draw the veil and leave off further
discussion. We have given ample
reason for our many hard hits at
pensions.
Seems as all the things we like
disagree with us and all the things
ive don't like agree with us. Dys-
pepsia lurks in most of the good
things we eat and indigestion fol-
lows the gratification of the appe-
tite. Os course it i tn's fault. Na
ture does the best she can and if a
man will only help her a little at
the right time he may eat what he
likes and as much as he likes. Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for
people who are troubled with indi-
gestion. Particularly for those in
whom it manifests itself in the
form of constipation. The “Pel-
lets" are quick and easy in their ac-
tion. They are in perfect harmony
with nature They effect a perma-
nent cure. You need take them
regularly only a little while. After
that use them occasionally when
you need them when von haveeat
en anything that disagrees with
you. They may be taken just as
freely as you would water or any
other necessity of life. Once used
they are always in favor.
Mr. Sam Solinsky who is the rec-
ognized leader of minstrelsy and
who has managed th<’ Columbian
male and the Mariposa Fem.tie Min-
strels and scored a success here
with home talent received a tele-
gram from Manager Johnson of the
opera house at Marshall Texas
yesterday asking him if he would
play Marshal Texas a matinee and
evening performance with the Mar-
iposa Female Minstrels on the 21th.
The message took Mr. Solinsky by
surprise and when the reporter
found him he was at a “lunch
stand" taking a glass of “cold tea"
the message spread out before him
muttering: “Our fame has gone
out before us there is millions in it
—oh If I can only get the girls to
say yes." The reporter slapped the
genial manager on the shoulder
and pointing up the Iron Mountain
railroad told him of the many
wrecksand blasted Hope(s) of dif-
ferent theatrical parties and the
manager having had some experi-
ence at Hope Arkansas with home
talent came to his senses drank
his tea came down from his castle
and became plain sensible old Sam
Solinsky again. We suppose the
Mariposa Female Minstrels will re.
main at home during the Christmas
tide.
THE MODERN MOTHER.
Has found that her little ones are
improved by the pleasant Syrup of
Figs when in need of the laxative
effect of a gentle remedy than by
any other and that it is more ac-
ceptable to them. Children enjoy
it and it benefits them. The true
remedy Syrup of Figs is manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup
Company only.
The total prohibition vote in the
late election did not reach the 100-
000 notch. In 1892 it was 264000.
This is a decrease of over 60 per
cent. yet this party said at the
national convention that it was a
growing one and would some day
elect a national ticket.
There are people living at Key
West and even in Paris France
who yet doubt Maceo’s death.
When we come to think that there
are people who believe the assassin
Booth still lives we cannot wonder
at their credulity.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only pos-
itive cure known to the medical fra-
ternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease requires a constitu-
tional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the dis-
ease’ and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith
in its curative powers that they of-
fer one hundred dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials. Address

HEBREW Min BALL I
The Ladies of the Hebrew
Benevolent Society Score
a Grand Success.
A SUMPTUOUS SUPPER SPREAD.
Over One Hundred Couples at one
Time on the Floor Keeping
Step to the Music of
McCann's Famous
Orchestra.
It was the reporter’s privilege
and honor to be a guest at the
charity bail given by the ladies of
the Hebrew Benevolent Association
last night.
The above association has been
in existence for five years with Mrs.
Sam Heilbron as its president and
during these five years has done
much to relieve the distressed both
Hebrew and Gentile.
The association has kept up and
beautified their burial ground—fur-
nished money and took the initiative
in building the beautiful Synagogue
where they worship.
The association has given several
balls since it has been in existence
and the reporter has been to most
of them and from a point of ele-
gance and attendance must say
this the last one excels all the
others.
The President Mrs. Heilbron
aided by several of her lady associ-
ates was everywhere to see that
the arriving and departing guests
wanted for nothing.
The ball was held in the beautiful
Mariposa Club room and the sup-
per tables four in number were
spread in the back rooms of the
hall reserved for this purpose.
McCann's famous orchestra was
of course on hand to make music
and with this band dancing be-
comes easy as you glide through
waltz after waltz.
The costumes worn were “ele-
gant”—this is a tip from one of the
fair sex who knew what she was
talking about —and not a hackney-
ed expression conjured up from
musty lore.
The reporter made several efforts
to get the names of those in at-
tendance but each and every one
he asked to help in the work look-
ed over the hall at the two or three
hundred present and said “the job
is to Herculean for me.” The re-
porter glanced about the hall how-
ever and those who did not dance
sat still enough to get crack shot
pictures. Os this number we no-
ticed Mayor Hardin Hon. Ben Fore-
man J. Deutchman Aiderman
Buhrman Manager Harry Ehrlich
of the opera house Ex-Mayor E. A.
Schicker Capt. Eugene Walker
Col. Sandberger and others.
The leadership was given Nat
Sterne and although he had a tin
whistle he did not make a single
note until the hands of the clock
pointed to 10 and then the shrill
rattle sounded for the “Grand
March" when some forty couples
marched to one of McCann’s new
creations.
After this the dance moved
smoothly until 12 o’clock when the
band was given the “wink” by Mr.
Stern and broke forth in the
grand “Hungry March” “You
Can’t Lose Me Charlie.”
Mayor Hardin of the West Side
was given the honor of heading the
march with President Mrs. Heil-
bron as his partner and following
behind gentleman and lady
came the procession and soon the
sixty covers at the tables were till-
ed and the door closed on those
who had the misfortune to tall in
the rear and who had to wait until
the next tables could be prepared.
The reporter found the tables la-
deued with meats salads bread
cake fruits and other good things
found on tables at public gather-
ings. With all of this coffee was
served and the supper can be writ-
ten down as an elegant one.
After supper dancing was resum-
ed and the doors of the Mariposa
Club rooms did not close on the
scene of gayety until 2 a. in.
The affair was a grand one in-
deed and will long be remembered
by all who attended.

The body found in Pleasant Lake

worked for the “Four C.” mill. The j
skull was found crushed and he 1
was either murdered or knocked j
from the trestle by a passing train. |
It is supposed that his people live
in Jackson Te'nnessee and the au-
thorities at that place have been
telegraphed to asking if such a per-
son ever lived there etc.
The Niagara Falls have been out- 1

there was enough money left to

General Weyler in his speech af-
ter Maceo’s death was announced
said: “I have only directed; the
army did the rest.” The whole
world should now rise and ask him
what he means by “rest.”

I Infests the blood of humanity. It
appears in varied forms but is forced
; to yield to Hood's Sarsaparilla which
purifies and vitalizes the blood aud
cures all such diseases. Read this:
“In September 18941 made a misstep and
injured my ankle. Very soon afterwards
A Sore
two inches across formed and in walking
jto favor it I sprained my ankle. The sore
became worse; I could not put my boot
on and I thought I should have to give up
at every step. I could not get any relief
and had to stop work. I read of a cure of
a similar case by Hood’s Sarsaparilla and
■ concluded to try it. Before I had taken
all of two bottles the sore had healed and
the swelling had gone down. My
Foot
is now well and I have been greatly bene-
fited otherwise. I have increased in
weight and am in better health. I cannot
say enough in praise of Hood’s Sarsapa-
rilla.” Mrs. H. Blake So. Berwick Me.

Ingenious Device.
A very ingenious device has been
adopted by some druggists to pre-
vent the frequent mistakes which
occur at night in administer-
ing a dangerous medicine tor a sim-
ple one. This is entirely obviated
by putting up prescriptions con-
taining powerful remedies of pois-
onous drugs in rough bottles as
prickly as the coat of a gherkin.
Any one rising in the dark is at
once warned of his danger. Many
lives have already been saved by
this simple contrivance —Globe-
Democrat.
It appears now that the last
death of General Maceo proved fa-
tal. He had as many lives as a cat
is said to have—has been killed sev-
eral times and has died from severa
diseases since he has been in com-
mand but this time he surely has
received a knock out blow and that
by a murderous volley fired from
ambush. His blood will be a curse
on the heads of those who caused
it.
