man, or even piece Of machinery
that does its work right every time, is
we think, very correctly Judged "valua-
ble." And Ger ainly none the less val
liable is any article designed to relieve
the ills of mankind, and which does SO
every time. Mess. Jones, Cook & Co.,
Bay State Brewery, Boston, Mass write:
We have used ST. Jacobs Oil among our
men and find that it helps them "every
time" We therefore heartily recon-
mend it as pain-healing liniment.
The Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don Globe writes as follows: "Last
night Miss Kellogg was singing the part
OF "Phlllne" in MSgnon, where, in the
second act, she has to open several bill
lets. One of these missives proved to
be an eloquent letter of eight pages from
a marquis who had long been in love with
her, in which he once more pressed his
suit in burning accents. This pretty
ruse was crowned with success, and now
it is an open secret that the great
American artistic has given her hand and
heart to the lover who has wooed her
ever since the early spring."
Guilty Of Wrong.
Some people have fashion of confusing
excellent remedies with the large mass Of
"patent medicines" and in this they are
guilty of wrong. There are some adver-
tised remedies fully worth all that is
asked for them, and one at least we know
of-Hop Bitters. The writer has had oc-
casion to use the Bitters in just such a
climate as we have most of the year in
Bay City, and has always found them
to be .frst-class and reliable, doing all
that is claimed for them.-Tribune.
The Roman Forum has now been
completely excavated, with the excen-
ton of small portion at the entrance
near the Capitol. The shape proves ir-
regular, being broad on the Capitol side
and narrow toward the palace of the

Another Erring Wife.

A remarkable case ot iefalca.ion and

for honesty, was brought to light last Fri

dollars. which lie gave 10 his wife, seven
months ago, to deposit in bank This she
pretended 10 do, exhibiting to him a deposit
cheek. some time afterwards she applied
to al uptown provision dealer to discount
q note for her. This lie consented 10 do,
provided she furnished good Endorsement.
She returned ate: = short absence with II
note for $40, with tl.e name of II proni-
nent druggist o; this town on it as ndoraer.
soon afterwards the provision man discov-
cred that the druggist signature vas Il for

forged The name Of ali uncle Of her husband

nal one, ani in some way other obtained
the signature OF 4 resident of Bacon Hill
and wrote note for the balance above il,
and another note on which she forged the
signature OF an Flkton business man. A
prominent physician discounted one of these,
and Il gentleman connected with one of the
public offices Of the row the other, and the
first note was liquiGated.
About this time the husband, having busi-
ness 1T the bank. discovered that his wife
had not Deposited Tie four hundred dollars
given her for that purpo>c at all, and that
the deposit check exhibited by her vas Il
forgery. He also fonnd that She had con-
traCteh large bills at tuo stores al town,
and that Judgment against him had been
procured in one ease and that an attach
ment had been levied for the other. In ad-
iitiun to this, several other notes, which
had been forged by her, cam" 10 light, on
which she had realized the money. What
She did with the money, no cue seems TO

the whole burden, which about ruins him
financially. The wife, who is now repent

deeds. TlIiS is one Of the most remarkable
