Medicines with but temporary relief. On reach
ing home the disease returned in worse type.
when my medical attendant ordered Quinine in
large dOses-freqUently as high as 90 grains per
day-which must have cost me nearly 500. /
consulted DIR. Smith, of Louisville, and founf
he prescribed Quinine and Arsenic combined,
which l refused TO take, preferring to let the
disease take its course. i was almost blood :

it a trial. One bottle restored me completely.

A DAxGERous WoRM.-Onc Of our ex-
changes contains the following: People at
this season should look ont for the large
worm which infests the tomato vines. Its
sting is deadly poison. 1t is of a green color,
two or three inches long, and as large as q
mans finger. At Red Creek, Wayne county,
few days ago, servant girl, while gather
ing tomatoes, received puncture from one
Of these worms. which created sensation
similar to that of bee sting. In a short
time the poison penetrated to every part of
her system, and she was thrown into spasms
which ended in her death.

that Sanford was innocent, he took steps to

pin, on the c., 4. |. Il p road, and there
found in jail man by the name Of George
Holbrook, alias Topping, whom Snyder
thinks is the man who did the shooting
Holbrook, in connection with John Waters
and Jerry Newton, were caught in the very
act Of attempting to rob the county safe at
Hennepin, and with chisels, implements
and powder in their hands. Parties had
been there trying to make arrangements to
bail them our, but had no, succeeded, In
default of $4,000 bail they had been commit.
ted for trial.
Mitch and Snyder state that on entering
the Jail on Thursday, Holbrook seemed to
recognize them, and went into his cell with
the evident purpose of avoiding them
They also stated that he endesvored to con-
ceal his face with q newspaper, and in vari
Gus ways endeavored to escape their obser-
walton. On finding this useless, he came
Gu. of his CELL and standing erect, angrily
told them to look at him if they wanted to.
Dunlap says Sanford was not with HIM
the evening Of the shooting. 1t is not prop
able that the Rock Island minions OF the
law will have an opportunity to put their
hands on Holbrook for some time to come
as Putnam county has quite little sco0'a'
to adjust with him.

that we might snake point" in a little

Nod along the garden wall;
Little care they for the future,
If at all.

Ripples down the yellow field,
saucily exposing daisies,
Half concealed.
Heavily the wood keeps swayins,
Giving many a sleepy start
while ., little bird talks music
To its heart

Curls its silver in the sun,
While its thousand water dimples
Blend in one.
YEARLY .he OK is doing
Right amid the bearded wheat,
Winking at the bluebird tripping
Round his feet.
Costly old Dobbin feedeth
In the shadow of the oak.
With the easy halter lying
Where it broke.
