confidence of the public solely upon the
remarkable merits it possesses. As a re-

praised than any medicine which has
ever been before the American public.
Indeed, there is not drug store in the
entire land where il cannot be found.
Although Bright's disease ia so common
In cities, IT is still more prevalent in the
country. When eminent physicians In
the largest cities are not able TO recognize
Brights disease, it is only natural that in
the country, where there are few physi-
clans of any kind, and those few 80 unac-
quainted with the disease as to call il by

The terrible pleuro-preumonia. which
has been so dreaded, is usually Hhe result
OF uremic or kidney poison. Lung fever
can be traced to similar source. Most
cases of paralysis arise from the same
difficulty, as we'll as innumerable fevers,

A vast number of ladies have suffered and

other name. In marked contrast to the
cad cases which have been above described
are the experiences of many prominent
people who were as low IA any of the per

restored to former health and vigor by
this same remedy. Among the number
are the following prominent names: Col.

An Old Claim Above d.

Better late than never y" persever-
ance conquers all things "and several
apt proverbs are illustrated in the pas
sage by the house of representatives,
on Tuesday, of the superannuated
claim of " the captain, owners, officers
and crew of the United States private
armed brig General Armstrong, their
heirs, executors, administrators or as
signs, which has been before the Gov
eminent, in one form or another, for
seventy years, and which when signed
by the President will enable the claim
ants to share $70,739. The event which
gave rise to the claim remotely infu-
enced the victory of the American
arms at New Orleans. The Armstrong
was an American privateer during the
War of 1915, between the United States
and Great Britain, commanded by Cap
tain Sam G.. Reid. She put into the
harbor of Fayal, in September, 1914,
for fresh water. The Armstrong was

slaughter to the British and with loss
to the American brig of only one Lieu
tenant and one man killed and two
Lieutenants and five men wounded.
The next day one of the British ships, a
frigate OF eighteen guns, was brought
up within cannon range of the Arm
strong and renewed the attack. Cap
tain Reid, deeming further resistance
useless, with lis crew, after hastily dis
abling the brig, abandoned her. The
British completed the destruction of
the vessel by burning her to the waters
edge. "Tbis is the whole story of the
outrage" says Mr.. Henry O. Conner, the
law officer of the department of state,
"but the benefits that ensued from it to
the American cause are sho Sn in the
fact clearly established that this Brit
ish fleet, intended for the capture of
New Orleans, was kept busy by the
Armstrong long enough to enable Gen.
eral Jackson to reach that city and save
it."

SAVE YOUR WIVES.

When man has been so fortunate as to wed a
brght-eyed, joyous, happy faced girl, he should
be especially careful of her health. An invalid
wife or mother is greatly to be pitied and yet,
sometimes in spite of love, and care, and tender
ness our women-fo folks do get sick. Beginning
with irregularities and dyspepsia, the general
health begins to fail and weakness, nervous pros
tration, sleeplessness, ETC., makes life miserable
The checks become pale, the eyes grow lstless
the hearts action enfeebled, the pulse weak, and
decay of the pulmonary. digestive and urinary
organs is the result. For restoring sckly women
to health and strength, DIR. Guysott's Yellow Dock
and Sarsaparilla excels all other medicines. 1t is
a true tonic. It's principal ingredients are Yellow
Dock, Sarsaparilla, Juniper, Iron, Buchu, Celery
and Calisaya bark. 1t builds up the female sys-
ten, and will positively cure falling of the womb
leucorrh@a, dyspepsia, etc.

Growing Melons and Cucumbers

Mr.. Samuel Johns, Eldora, Iowa, de.
scribes in the Kansas Farmer his meth
cd of raising cucumbers by the barrel
process:
Take common salt barrel, knock
both ends out, set it in convenient
place, and fill nearly full of well rotted
manure. Form three hills for the
vines, one on the east, one on the west
and the south side of the barrel. Have
but three or four plants in hill, then
place brush to keep the vines up from
the ground. Keep the barrel well wa
tered, and il those three hills don't fur
nish enough pickles for large family,
then think me false prophet"
The same method is employed just
as successfully in growing melons. We
have tried it with the best snccess.
Water should be poured in the barrel
daily. Half rotted manure serves ad-
mirably for filling the barrel. 1t is
better to drop one of the barrel ends
loosely on the ground at the bottom OF
the barrel, rs this carries the water
nearer to the roots of the plants.

The husband on reaching Ogden
could find no trace of the pair and came
back on Sunday morning to look after
his other three wives. About a wear
ago the soldier advertised in the Trib-
atre for lady correspondent. and got
an answer from young lady living in
the Seventh ward They exchanged a
good many letters, and from fun they
drl'ted into seriousness, and grew quite
attached. About four months ago the
young lady got proposal of marriage
from well-to-do old elder, and, after
thinking it over deliberately for about
two days, accepted and was settled in
the endowment house as the fourth
wife. She wrote the soldier a letter tell
ing him that she should not expect to
receive any more letters from him, but
he wrote her and begged that the cor
respondence be resumed. 1t was re-
sumed and before long the woman get
ting tired of the old, withered latter
day saint, wrote that she was heartily
sick of her marriage, and if the soldier
was willing she was ready to emigrate.
The soldier got his discharge recent
ly, and on Friday came to this city,
where he met the woman at a hotel,
and the two got away on the morning
train. Of course the old elder having
four wives to look after, didn't miss her
till breakfast time. The sympathies of
