PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it cizculates through every part
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
ali the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head.
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BrTTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimila.e with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

The fact was forcibly demon
strated, last Tuesday night, that
Covington needs Public Hall, and
o big one. Less than 900 persons
filed the Courthouse to repletion,
while the lower hall, which con-
tanned the Iefreshment tables, was
.uncomfortably crowded. We need
q hall with ample stage room, and
seats for at least 500 persons. The
building committee should make q
note of this in forming thei: plans.
Better have it little too large than
too small.

Woes of an Inventor's Wife,

''It is all very well to talk about working for the heathen,' said one, as the ladies put up their sewing, ''but I'd like to have some one tell me what I am to do with my hHs- band ?" ''What is the matter with him ?" asked a sympathetic old lady. "Wiliiam is 8 good man." continued the first, waving her glasses in an argumentative way, 'but Will liam will invent. He goes inventing around from morning till night, and have no peace or comfort I didn't object when he invent ed fire escape, but did demonstrate when he wanted me to crawl out of the window one night last winter to see how 1t worked. Then he originated lock for the door that wouldn't open from midnight until morning, so as to kesp burglars out.

The Red Msn-Furthsr Arrests and Con

 WHEELING, Oct. 4.-There is no diminu- ton in the excitement at Clarksburg over the disclosures of Kettles, the confessed 'Red Man. In the United States court this morn ing he was sentenced to nine years and four months in the Moundsville penitentiary. As one result of his confession Jacob I. Hoff man, ex treasurer of Barbour county and ex- member of the legislature, has been arrested and is now in jail at Clarksburg. It is ru- mored tonight that an effort will be made to convict Hoffman, who was chief in the or der, of one or two murders. Kettle received bls sentence with perfect calmness. Price, another Red Man, was sentenced to twelve years to be served ip Buffalo prison on another charge. He will be tried on another indictment. The company to which Kettle belonged was known as Go. c, Re- gents Tribe of Crows, but the private work was the same in all the branches. Nom de plumes were used. The first password was '.Ko'' and the response 'Light"; the second, "Where are you going?" and the answer was Centennial. Other signs and grips were in use to such an extent that book of them was kept Article K of the constitution makes death the penalty for re- vealing any of the work of the lodge.

The Cotton Crop-A Decreased Yield Eore-
 shadowed.
 MEMPHIS, Oct. 4.-The cotton crop report for September of the Memphis district, con- prising West Tennessee, North Mississippi, North Arkansas and North Alabama, com. piled from 344 responses, will be published tomorrow by Messrs. Hill, Fontaine & Co. The report will say: "A summary indicates a decreased yield throughout the Memphis district of 30 per cent. as compared with the previous year. Last month, it will be re- membered, decrease of 20 per cent. was foreshadowed. In the July report there was shortage of 124 per cent. The increase in the percentage of loss is attributed to unfavorable influences, the hot, dry weather entirely de- stroying the top crop. Correspondents in West Tennessee in the August report gave promise of an increased yield of 10 per cent. over 1882 and 1883. Now they report de- crease of per cent. The percentage of loss in North Arkansas has grown from 30 to 45 per cent, while the returns from North Mississippi and North Alabama remain about as before, indicating decreas- ed yield in those sections of 30 per cent. Several correspondents note greater pro ral, swill still further largely reduce the number of bales of lint produced in this dis trict. Labor is reported to be in good sup ply and working well, and the indieat ions point to.an early marketing of the crop"

 Ommend.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The policy of retir- ing and continuing the retirement of three per cent. bonds as fast as the surplus reVs- nue will permit is attracting the attention of Treasury officials to an important question involving the permanency of the national banks The national banks are large owners of per cents. which are deposited with the government as security for their circulation and the retirement of these per cents. will take from under the banks that on which they stand. A number of suggestions as to what shall be done have been made to Secre tary Folger and Comptroller Knox. The Secretary is considering this question, but has not decided what recommendation to make in his forthcoming report to Congress. He said to-day concerning the proposition to al- low the national banks to deposit State se- curities as security for their circulation that he did not ,thinkit advisable. State bonds are good enough to be taken as national bank collateral, but were about as high priced as government fours and four and halfs which now command such a premium that the banks cannot afford to purchase and dsposlt them as security. Besides there were not enough good State bonds to supply the col lateral needed for the large and constantly growing number of national banks. Of all the suggestions thus far offered he favored 1 the issuing of low rate long bond with | which to take up the and 49's, accomplish
 ing the exchange by paying sufficient prem 1 ium to make the-exchsnge desirable to the | holders of the latter. He has not yet made l up his mind what rate of interest this bond should bear
