"Your asking me how 1 came to use it, re-

Among the incidents of the Ste
venson hanging, the Gwinnett Her
aid says that when DR.. Moore re-
moved the rope from Stevenson's
neck, woman who had pressed her
way to the rope, asked permission to
enter. She hurried to the sheriff and
seizing the moose that had just been
removed and was still warm, rubbed
it rapidly across a goiter on her neck.
There is a superstitious Idea in the
country, that rubbing the unpleasant
protuberance with a rope with which
a felon has been hung will remove it.

Drs. Tobin:
Your "Hepatozone" as a gentle
purgatiye has no equal. It moves
the bowels without making the pa
tent feel sick, weak or languid. 1t
is often the case that we feel little
bilious, have some headache perhaps,
and are feeling unwell generally, and
only need an easy purgative to relieve
us; your "Hepatozone" is the medi-
cine for that condition. l relieved a
case of dysentery with it in very
short time. We use it largely in this

THAT MARES NEST.

A two line clause In q bill to author
lie the city to vote bonds In aid of .
vladuct, has stirred up q mares nest
that has c~onvulsed local political
circles from center to circumference.
Public spirited citizens who desire to
have paving, sewerage and other solid
improvements pushed with vigor
under reliable supervision were
alarmed. The mayor and city off.
clals were paralyzed, and tho con.
tractors and iobbers who expect to
realize handsomely on public works
were joyful and jubilant. DR.. Miller
was delighted and exultant.
The summary behesding of the
board of public works gave him great
pleasure, because 1t disposed of Jim
Creighton, who has never been for.
given since he refused to obey
Miller's behest to carry out that sena.
torial dicker six years ago. In the
bungling of the viaduct bill he i'm
sgined he had another club with
which to brain Charley Brown and
MoShane, who committed the unpar.
donable sin of opposing Sterling Nor.
ton for United States senator a few
weeks ago. SO the walls of gall were
poured out on their heads In vindic-
tive glee, and the Doctor held up his
hands In holy horror over the awful
things these two bad democrats had
done down at Lincoln.
But the doctors cup of joy was
dashed to the ground before 1t fairly
touched his lips. The board Of public
works still exists. Jim Creighton
keeps his official head Oh, and he is
likely to keep It on for the next two
years. And that low politician, John
McShane, also survives with a very
fair prospect Of representing Douglas
county In the national convention In
the place of George L. Miller. This
sad state Of affairs was all brought
about by that mares nest, which Ed.
Roggen first discovered down In the
vaults of the left wing of Bill Stout's
