Mrs. Edwards | will be assisted in this work by a competent compiler and editor, and will endeavor to make it representa- tive of Major Edwards’ best literary efforts. She will be thankful to any ofthe major’s friends who have pre- served any of his writings if they will send them to her at her home. 720 Campbell street, this city. The publication of Major Ed- wards’ poems and stories for the first time will be looked forward to with much interest by his many friends throughout the state. The Times wishes Mrs. Edwards the utmost success in her undertak- ing, as her work will represent to her and her family the means of support. This is intended merely as a preliminary announcement. The further details as to the contents of the book will be given as soon as the compiler has progressed far enough to admit of it. Honesty and Intelligence. It pays to be honest, you say. | Granted. Yet many dishonest through ignorance, expediency, or intentionally. One can be dishon- est and yet say nothing. | Aclerk who lets a customer buy a damaged piece of goods, a witness who holds back the truth which would clear a prisoner, a medical practitioner who takes his patient's money when he knows he is doing him no good,—all are culpably dis- honest. Speaking of the dishonesty of medical men reminds us that only the past week there has come under our personal observation a form of dishonesty which almost teo mean for narration. It is generally known that doctors bind themselves by codes, resolu- tions and oaths not to use any ad- vertised medicines. Now, there is |a medicine on the market which, for the past ten years, has accomplish- ed a marvelous amount of good in the cure of Kidney and Liver Dis- eases, and diseases arising from the derangement of these great organs, |—-we refer to Warner's Safe Cure. |So wide-spread are the merits of this medicine that the majority of the doctors of this country know from actual evidence that it will jeure Advanced Kidney which is but another | Bright's Disease. The medical ‘profession have put themselves on record as admitting that there is no cure for this terri- ble malady, yet there are physicians base enough and dishonest enough to procure Warner's Safe Cure ina surreptitious manner, put the same ‘into plain, four-ounce vials, and | charge their patients $2.00 per vial, | when asixteen-ounce bottle of the | remedy, in its original package, can ibe bought at any drug store in the | world for $1.25. Perhaps the doctor argues that the cure of the patient justifies his dishonesty, yet he will boldly stand | up at the next county medical meet- ing and denounce Warner's Safe Cure as a patent medicine, and one which he cannot and will not use. _ The fact is that the people are waking up to the truth that the | medical profession is far from hon- ‘est and that it does not possess a monopoly of wisdom in the curing of disease, instead of striking at the seat of disease—the kidneys them. selves,—allowing patients to die} rather than use a remedy known to | how are is Disease, name for be a specitic, simply because it has | been advertised, and when patients are dead from Advanced Kidney | Wallace's cireuis will be filed, as Disease. still practicing deception | by giving the cause of death in their ut- ame . 11 yr certificate as pneumonia. dropsy, | tent. ‘heart disease, or some other accom- panying effect of Bright's Disease. ; | All this is prima facia evidence of /incompetency, bigotry and dishon- j | ty. 1 We speak but the truth when we say that Messrs. H. H. Warner & Co., have done a most philanthrop- ic work for the past ten years in ed- ucating the people up to the knowl- edge they now enjoy, especially of maladies growing out of diseases of the Kidneys and Liver, and are de- | serving of all praise for their hones- ty and straigforwardness in expos- ing shams and dishonesty of all kinds. Looks Like Horace Greely. “I thought Horace Greely was dead.” observed a man who stood next to me on Union square yester- day morning. He pointed out to his companion a stout man who re- sembled the dead editor to a degree that was simply startling. He was sitting on a bench in front ofa Seveenteenth street stand. I hap- pened to know the man in question, and this is not the first time the wonderful resemblace has been not- ed. He is James K. Wilson, form- erly of Chicago but for the past de- cade u resident of this aty. During Mr. Greely’s campaign for the pres- idency Mr. Wilson once had an ex- perience that he will remember to the end of his life. He was in Indianapolis on the same day that Mr. Greely made his fam- ous speech in the state house square They were both stopping at the same house and late in the afternoon Mr. Wilson started out to takea short walk about the town. To his intense surprise he was followed by a crowd of men and urchins. When he reached the circle there was an open air political meeting in progress and he was promptly singled out of the crowd by a ward politician who presided, who called upon “Mr. Greely fora speech. In vain did Mr. Wilson protest. He was drag- ged to the platform and forced to face the throng. Then he explained as well as he could, the mistake that the crowd labored under, and was allowed to go in peace, but not be- fore he had a heated argument with the chairman that almost led to blows. Mr. Wilson has retired from active business now and lives in a beautiful home on Long Island and visits New York daily to look after his investments in Wall street Harlem real estate. and “The Merry Wives of Windsor” could scarcely have played such fan- tastic pranks had they been subject to the many ills s0 common among the women of to-day. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a legitimate medicine, carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician and adapted to woman’s delicate or- ganization. It is purely vegetable in its composition, and perfectly harmless in its effects in any condi- tion of tne system. It cures all of those weaknesses and ailments pecu- liar to women, and it is the only medicine for women, sold by drug- gists, under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case or money will be refunded. This guar- antee has been printed on the bottle- wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years. Swindlers at Work. Mexico, Mo., May 15.—Confidence men this afternoon succeeded in rob- bing an old man, Benjamin Hartley, past 80 years of age, of $560 in cash. Hartley invested in what they call the Louisiana lottery. He drew what they represented as the capital prize, but before the money won was to be paid Hartley was to show } that he had $500. Then he put up all the money he had and lost. Of ficers were immediately notified, but no one could be identified. Another prominent farmer of this county drew $1.200. On being told the same thing, that he had to have that much money, he came up to town and asked the cashier of the; First National Bank for $1,200. The | cashier, thinking he would be rob-' bed, persuaded him out of it.

Charleston, S. C.. May 15.—At the dedication of a monument to the dead soldiers of four German com paniesin the confederate army to- day Senator Hampton made the fol- lowing address: “We regard our martyrs, and God forbid that any of their living comrades, their deseend- ants to the remotest ages should brand them as traitors. Words, my friends, are not merely empty sounds in the domain of history. They are things, potent factors not only in shaping events but in placing these events in a true light before the world, and we should never acknowl- edge that we were rebels or traitors. That question isto be decided by the verdict of impartial history and that of posterity, and we may as well be satisfied to commit and our conduct to tribunals. our cause those august stood as discussing the merits of | the great contlict which arrayed one section of the country against the other, which wrought such wide- spread destruction and which cost | so much in treasure and in the loss | of so many precious lives. The questions which brought about this unhappy war have been settled, and he is not atrue patriot who would strive to kindle the fires of sectional hate or reopen ihe wounds which the kind hand of time has healed. No higher duty can inspire the heart of every patriot than that which im- pels him to devote all his energies of mind and body to make his coun- } try worthy of the admiration and re- spect of the world; the fit home for | all time to come of American free | men. This duty devolves on us of the south as urgently as upon any other citizens of this broad land, for whatever may have been the issues which brought about the civil war we must remem- ber that now all—north, south, east and west—have but one constitution to both of which our allegiance is due. But while we of the south recognize this fact fully it does not follow that we should refuse to do honor to the memory of our dead comrades. The men who met us in battle would have a just contempt for us were we base enough to for- get those who gave their lives for a cause, which they and we believe in our inmost hearts to be just and right. We = should —in- deed be time-serving cravens if we allowed the memory of these men, of their untimely death to pass for- ever from our hearts, or if we should fail to leave enduring monuments to to them as evidences of our love and gratitude. show a grateful people’s gratitude to our surviviug veterans.” Greensburg, Pa., May 15.—The White Caps in the vicinity of Mount Pleasant, this county, brought their threats into execution and S.

New York, May 15.—Editer Os- wald Ottendorfer, of the Staats Zeitung, arrived yesterday on the steamship Werra, after an absence of some months in Europe. In con- versation with a reporter he said: “Emperor William is suffering from atrouble in his head which has made him partially deaf and fears are entertained that it will become serious. He spends a large part of his time inspecting Germany's mili- tary establishment,which is undoubt- edly the finest in the world. IT saw soldiers everywhere and the subject of military was uppermost in the minds of the people. Just at pres- ent Germany is changing its small arms for those of lighter calibre, but this is only postponing the inevitable event of war between France and |Germany. The people understand this and feel confident that they can . | give the Frenchmen a sound thrash- | ing when the time comes.” | If you have the bronchitis, you often ; are hoarse, Your throat’s raw and smarting; ; you're hacking, of course; | And if you're not careful, the first thing you know, | Your lungs are attacked and disease | lays you low. By using Dr. Pierce's Golden Med- ical Discovery, bronchial affections and all kindred complaints can be cured, but if neglected, they often terminate in consumption. A Desperate Deed. Indianopolis, May 15.--John Schroeder, a German saloon keeper 27 years old horrified the city by the murder of his wife under pecu- liarly atrocious circumstances. Mrs Shroeder, carrying a 9-months-old baby went this morning ittto the bar room where her husband was open- ing for the day. Apparently from insanity he sprang upon her and al- most severed her head from her body with a razor. The woman fell to the floor dying instantly, the blood almost drowning her child. Schroe- der ran to a common near by, knelt down and killed himself with the razor with which he killed his wife. There was hereditary insanity in the family. Schroeder was well-to do.
