She tried to write love poetry to the deacon, and could frame only— “Affliction sore Long time I bore.” Has the lone creature used Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription—the sure remedy for the weaknesses and peculiar ailments of her sex—she might have secured the deacon’s fa- vorable character of her verses. “You have probably observed in your travels,” said the hotel clerk, the sign hung out at the cashier's desk in all the leading hotels! These are hung out to protect the hotels from dead beats, and they serv e the purposefto a certain extent. We make a mistake now and then, as was the case here a couple of weeks ago. An old codger came along with an old fashioned satchel; and he looked so hard up and rusty thatI gave him the poorest room in the house and asked him a deposit of $5. He madeit, and I gave him no further attention At the end of the week he came up to settle his bill, and when I gave him the figures he pulled outa check book and filled out a check for the amount. “Can't take it.I said as I shoved it back. “Why?” “Got beat too often.” “But its good.” “Maybe.” “Well, I have no currency, and must pay you by check; very few people refuse them-” “Look here old fellow, I replied, my mad coming up, if you think to beat this house you will get left! Either you pay the bill or you'll go to jail.” “He tore up the check, filled in another one for $200,000 on a Chi- cago bank and handed it over with the remark: “Please step over to the bank and ask them to assure themselves that this would be honored in Chicago.” “I went over toa national bank and inside of an hour Chicago an- swered that a check signed by the old man for half a million dollars was as goodas gold. I had madea mistake in sizing up my man.” “But who was he?” “He is familiarly known as “Old Hutch’ king of the wheat ring.” Ballards Snow Linament Is the best Linament in the world for animals.

Unless the miners are soon given relief there will be many deaths from actual starvation. Mr. Geer- haty, whose business there has been j ruined, has been soliciting in Mil- waukee, and yesterday shipped two car loads of provisions. “But what is that,” he said, “for 6,000 starving people?” Congressman Lawler left plies. D. Smith of Salem, Dent county Mo. | had ahearing before Commissioner Crawford this morning. He is charg- ed with retailing liquor without paying a special tax. He madea statement of his case, and his defence is apt to raise amce question of fact. He denied that he was guilty of re- tailing liquor without a license, and said that heand a dozen or fifteen young men in the neighborhood wanted some whiskey and agreed to buy aten-gallon keg and pay for it in proportion to the amount each used.

Smith was arrested for not having paid hie state tax, tried in the state cireuit court and given a jail sen- tence which he served. When he was released from jail he was arrest- ed for not having paid the United States tax, and brought here for his examinaton. His bail was fixed at $250, but as he could secure no bondsmen he was sent to jail to answer at the November term of the district court. Is Consumption Incura ble? ange EEE --: R. R.

Trouble for Mr. Turner of Missourt. Washington, July 30.—J. Milton Turner, the colored democrat who organized the colored men’s conven- tion in Indianapolis last summer in the interest of Cleveland and the democratic ticket, was recently awarded a fee of $15,000 for his ser- vices in assisting the passage through congress of the bill making payment to the Indians of the Cher- okee nation for what was due them by the government. Themoney hes not yet been drawn from the treas- ury, and, according to the state- ments of the officials there, it may not be for some time to come. Last week the secretary of the treasury informed Mr. Turner that one-half of the amount ($7,500) was ready to be turned over to him, but that the other half was to be withheld until the equity of another man’s claim for a like amount for services rendered should be ascertained. The treasu- ry officials say that Turner has been somewhat lavish in his expenditures during the six months he has been about Washington waiting for his fee, and that he is so heavily in debt that he dare not draw his mon- ey for fear of his numerous creditors who are ready to pounce upon it. A watchman at the treasury building says that two men, one the servant of a congressman, who claims that Turner owes them $1,000 each for services are determined not to be shaken off or eluded. They take turns in watching the treasury from the time its doors are opened for business in the morning till they close in the afternoon, to see that Turner does not get his money without their knowledge. But to make sure, they have paid morethan one of the treasury employes to keep asharp lookout and inform them if Turner should call for his money. Read the following: Mr. C, H. Morris Newark, Ark,, says: ‘‘Was down with Abscess ot the lungs, and friends and physcians pronounced me an _Incurable consumptive. Began taking Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm.

Y., Aug. 1.—In Carthage last night, Fred Farr, an engineer, shot and killed his wife and then committed suicide. Farr’s wife was at her father’s home. Farr went there, and when she came to the door he put his arm around her, placed a revolver against her breast and fired. He then went to his father’s homeand sitting down in a rocking chair, shot himself. Mrs. Farr had not been living with her husband for two or three weeks owing to trouble regarding the deeding of some property. An officer was in the house at the time of ihe shooting with a warrant for Farr’s arrest, as trouble was antici- pated. This remedy is becoming so well Known andso popular as to need no special mention.

New York, Aug. 1.—William Hook of Ellenville, Ulster county, was held in $1,500 bail yesterday, charged with an attempt to defraud the United States government. Mary A. Zerfus, of Ellenville, who died a shert time ago, was the widow ofa soldier and drew a pension at regular intervals during her illness. Hook took care of her and after her death, according to his tale, gave her a splendid burial. For his services he sent an itemized bill to Wm. H. Jewett, pension agent for Ulster county, amounting to $942.50. It is for attempting to collect this amount that he was arrested. Items in his bill included for priest's services $17, ground in cemetery $40, dig- ging grave $10, day attendance $390, night attendance $390, car fare $6.50, pall bearers $20, whisky $25, cigars, $15, personal expenses $4. Saw Christ nm a Vision. Mr. Robert Edwards, a salesman for Horace Waters & Co., Chaplain of Naval Post 516, G. A. R. and Chaplain of the Farragut Veterans of the state of New York, tells us of a remarkable vision that he saw on July 16 last. Heisa man of about 50 years of age, well educated, and well known in Methodist circles of this city, and is also well known asa public lecturer. He was bornin Sweeden. “It was on July 15 last,” said Mr. Edwards, “I retired at my usual hour. I don’t exactly know what time I awoke, but it was suddenly. I tried to moye, but found it impos- sible. Ltried to speak, but could not utterasound. There seemed to be a white mist before my eyes; but this gradually cleared away, and the ceiling was one mass of white, glist- ening clouds. On top of the clouds there was a white marble palace. J Besides these there is a woman who has a claim for $150 for board, etc. She has threatened, if she does not get her money, to use a horsewhip. It is said there are other boarding house keepers and money lenders who are swarming after the colored “Why, people grabbed them and sold them as souvenirs. We didn’t get a cent for them,” Muldoon said. “Each of us bought a soft felt hat te wear out to the ring. Mr. Sulli- van threw both of them into the ring before the fight. They only cost $1 apiece, yet a man got $50 for Mr. Sullivan’s hat and $25 apiece for McCleary’s and mine. The buck- ets which held the ice-water which we dipped theftowels in sold for $25 each. The post which held his col- ors was torn up and splinters of it sold for $5 each. They even dug the ground up where the posts were driven, and, doing it up in little par- cels, sold them to people anxious for mementoes. The ring rope was cut into bits and sold. I had a half doz- en towels and two sponges which I bathed Mr. Sullivan with, and they disappeared as if by magic. Maj.

Smart walked firmly up the steps, Both Dilger and Dilger leading the way unassisted. Father Nicholas read the service of the Catholic church, the crowd maintaining a breathless silence. Deputy Ragland meantime took his place near the traprope. Both men were very pale during the reading. At the conclusion of the service Smart and Dilger bade good bye to all the turnkeys. They then took position on the trap. Smart laughed as he stepped upon the fatal door. Deputy sheriff Hikes pinioned them with leather bands at 6 o'clock. The rope was cut at 6:40 o'clock exactly and both men shot down through the trap. Smart turned round and probably died instantly, but Dilger slipped through the noose, the rope catching him over the chin at the lower teeth. He was seeming- ly unhurt and was drawn up by the rope until the shoulders came up through the trap where the deputies took him by the arms and pulled him upon the scaffold. A new rope was broaght into sere vice and when the noose was adjust- ed Dilger said: ‘What's the matter?’ When told the rope had slipped its knot he said: “This shows I should not die.” He placed himself upon the trap a second time by making two hops without assistance. The drop was again sprung at 6:09 o'clock and he strangled to death. The night of August 16, 1888, Dilger killed Policeman Rosenburg and Jones, of Louisville, while they were attempting to arrest him for assaulting a woman known as “Buge gy” Burns. Harry Smart was hanged for the murder of Meisner Green and Mary J. Rannals while living on a flat boat on the Ohio river in July, 1888. Smart was pronounced dead at 6:18 and Dilger at 6:24. The bodies were cut down at 6:28 o'clock and turned over to their respective rela- tives. His name is R. J.

Mr. John King, of Jackson, Miss., says that he was cured of rheuma- tism in his feet and legs by taking Swift’s Specific.
