A Man

or woman with a weak stomach is not in good
health. Weak stonachs lead to weak nerves,
or what are known as the ''1idSets," debility,
melancholy, and various Other ills. Many per-
sons are not aware Of it, or, if they are, say to
themselves: "Oh, well, let the stomach brace
up of its own accord: guess I'll weather it, "
BY ncglecting to care for their ston!acils pco-
pie make great mistake; the gastric
pit is one of the most honest and
faithful organs OF the body and deserves the
best of treatment To you who feel III need OF

IN Memory Of Judga Kiider.

Sioux Falls.-At meeting of members of
the bar of Minnehaha county and officers of
the general term of the district court, on the
LIST inst, committee, consisting of E. Parli-
man, William A. Wilkes, Fl. H. Keith, T. s.
Free and +. l. Boyce, was appointed to pre-
pare resolutions on the death Of the late Hon
Jefferson r Kidder, judge Of the Fourth ju-
iicial district. This committee, at a meeting
recently, reported the following, which was
adopted and ordered entered in the court
record:
Resolved, That the supreme court of this ter
ritory, the district court of the Fourth judicial
district, the bar, and people of this territory
have sustained in the death of the Hon Jeffer-
Son =. Kidder, the loss of an honorable and
upright judge. That his long judicial career
in this territory has been marked by great in
dustiy, high abilities, and incorruptible integ-
r1ty, and in the termination Of his long public
career, universal regret is felt and unusual
sympathy extended
Resolved, That in this slight tribute to his
memory we can but inadequately express the
loss sustained by his death That his life and
labors, characterized as they were by honor,
industry and the fullest integrity, are left for
the future, and stand as all encoura cement to
those of us who survive him, showing that sue
cess in life depends more upon integrity and
good faith than upon more brilliant accom-
plshments.

Murder In a Kansas Bank.

A courier brings news of a daring attempt to
rob the Medicine Valley bank of Medicine
Lodge, thirty five miles west of Harper, Kan
sas, i'll which the cashier was killed and the
president fatally wounded. On Wednesday,
the 3Oth, four men, AIMED with Winchester
rifles and revolvers rode up to the bank. Two
tered demanding money f. W. Payne, presi
dent, and George G. expert cashier were in
the bank. They refused to comply with the
result above stated. The city marshal just
then appeared and opened fire on the men.
Outside citizens gathered rapidly, and the rob-
bers, seeing the game was up, quickly mount;
booty. Within ten minutes thirty men were
in hot pursuit, and the chances are that the
robbers will be captured and sunmarily dealt
with. No clue to their identity

WARTS AND WRIN KLES,
How They Are Produced and How to
Avoid Them.

How They Are Produced and How to
Harper's Bazaar.
Warts are peculiarly ugly things
wherever they may occur, and was
considered practically incurable a few
years ago, unless it were by means of
charms. In every village there was an
old woman who undertook to charm
warts away, and the cures related by her
votaries were really marvellous, especi-
ally when they related to the hiding
away of piece of meat with which the
wart had been rubbed, or any nostrum
of that nature. Sometimes, however,
the wart charmer used some vegetable
juice, which, of course, acted as a caus-
tic, and that was proper and legi:i-
mate cure The little warty excres-
cences that grow on the neck, or some
times on the eyelid, may be removed by
tying a hair or a morsel of fine
silk round them. The wear
ing of this cause the excrescence to fall
off in few days, without producing a
wound or even tender place in the
skin. Warts should always be treated
as soon as they are perceived, and not
allowed to grow. If they come on hands,
it is often from being carelessly dried,
as damp state of the skin seems to in
duce them. It is common belief
among servants that putting the hands
into water in which eggs have been
boiled will produce them. Warts are
far less common than they used to be,
perhaps because more remedies are
known, and perhaps because with the
spread of knowledge there is less faith
in silly charms and more recourse to
chemists and doctors.
Few people are so afflicted with warts
as the Able Liszt, the we'll known musi-
clan. They are all over his face, and
especially on his nose, and as they are
of peculiar kind, he seems unable to
get rid of them. They do not add to
the charms of his personal appearance.
Wrinkles give an appearance of age,
and usually come on as people get older,
or as q consequence of using large guam
titles of powder, a habit remarkably Of
fensive to men, whatever foolish women
may think of it. A little powder to pre-
vent chatting in cold weather, or after
washing when tho face or neck have
been exposed to the sun, is q very diff
ferent thing. Just dust of powder

The French Guillotine.

The first cart contains the bois de
justice, the apparatus of death; the 9TH
er a rough receptacle which comes emp
ty but will 60 away full. The red tim
bers of the guillotine are raised some Is
PAGES in front Of the prison gate-raised
almost noiselessly, no hammers being
used, but every part being screwed into
it's place. By the light of a couple of
lanterns the knife of the guillotine is
fixed into the grooves, and the execu-
toner makes his experiment to ascer-
tain that it runs smoothly. By and by
the spectators increase. The riff-ra
are there, the amateurs of the sensation
al, some journalists, and-shame to re-
late-a party of youthful dandies with
the berouged accomplices in their de-
bauches. Order is kept by the po-
lice, but later march up the munich
pal guards and trot up the splendid
gendarmes of the Seine, massive troop
ers in bearskins, like the Scots
Greys, and they form an inclos-
ure round the machine of reprisal. The
executioner on this occasion was Hen
dreich. He did not prepare himself for
his work on beer and .hoarhound his
peculiarly was to make meal off rusks
and new milk before approaching his
dreadful task. The peculiarly of his
successor, Roch, was to supervise the
proceedings without removing his tall,
shiny silk hat. NJ. de Paris, as he is
called, has higher emoluments than his
English colleagues. He receives 10000.
year from the state for expenses and
1000 for salary. AS the dawn approach
es and the gas over the jail gate wakes
yellow in the advance shafts of day the
chaplain drives up in cab and enters,
and such sinister adjuncts of the function
as buckets Of water, bran. and the zinc
bath-like case to receive the head be-
come visible. Heindrich enters after
the chaplain. The hour is at hand.
The gates fly open and the procession
appears. The felon, with hair cropped
and naked to below the neck still
in the straight waistcoat, hobbies
along; at the foot of the ascent
to the guillotine the chaplain
kissed him on the left cheek, Hend-
reich supports him under the right arm
pit, an assistant under the left, another
presses from behind. A fourth stands
by an upright plank which rises to the
level of the felon's breast-bone. AS he
reaches 1.-THE is pushed and falls on his
stomach to the plank, which is shot
rapidly forward until his neck falls in
to se1ni-circular hollow under the
knife; the upper part which completed
the circle is dropped, Hendreich touch
es a lever, the blade flashes downward,
the head jumps into the zinc case, the
body is turned over into the tumbril,
the head being shaken from it's couch
of blood-dabbled bran alongside it.
All is over. There is no senseless for
mality of inquest. The severed remains
are galloped off to the Turnip Field,
there to be buried, the head between the
legs, beside the paupers from the hos
pitfalls and the unclaimed unfortunates
from the Morgue, Maya

O. NJ Conovcr, IL. D., court reporter of the
Wisconsin supreme court, died very suddenly
and unexpectedly in London, England. at /
o'clock Wednesday morning, the seth, OF heart
disease, aged tifty-nine years. Eighteen
months ago he was married, for the second,
time to Miss Sarah Dean, sister Of Gen. Lucius
Fairchild, since which time he had been taking
an extended bridal tour III Europe.
Mr.. Conoyer was born at Dayton, Ohio and
graduated at Princeton college, both from the
classical and theological departments. He
wentto Wisconsin in 1888, preached, practiced
law, and edited a literary magazine and from
ges and literature in tho state university, at
Madison, resigning that position to

reporter. He leaves three children who live

moves q greasy look; but it stands Ga
reason that lavish use of it must fill
up the pores Of the skin, and thereby
permanently injure the complexion.
Wrinkles are very much under personal
control. A girl or youth who INDUCES
in a perpetual knitting Of the brows
produce very ugly wrinkle between
the eyebrows, but this may be entirely
removed by forsaking the trick. Ahabit
of half closing the eyes-very com
mon with near-sighted persons who dc
not choose to wear glasses-produces
wrinkles at their outer corners. An
ill:tempered dropping of the corners OF
the mouth brings wrinkles in those po-
sitions. No outward application will
ever cure this; the effort must come
from strong determination and resolute
avoidance OF the cause that produces
the ugly effect.
Living in very dirty atmosphere
tends to develop and accentuate wrin-
kles; the CRIME naturally settles in any
little hollows that will receive it, and
the longer it stays there the more diff
cult it is to remove. It may be par
TALLY kept out by regularly wearing a
veil out of-doors, but the best thing is
frequent and thorough washing with
hot water, and the application
of o little sweet oil or
cold cream at bedtime. This softens
and smooths the skin, helping it to fill
out instead of increasing the tendency
to fall into hollows and trace channels.
A little alum or other astringent lotion
applied in the morning does good rather
than harm, but if it makes the skin
smart as it acts as an irritant, and must
be avoided. Any putting of the skin
is associated with an unhealthy condit-
ion of the blood and ought to receive
proper medical treatment. People who
habitually worry themselves over tritles
frequently get wrinkles in their fore
head, but persons who cultivate calm
and easy state of mind may escape them
for many years.

GIRLS IN BUSINESS
Halfway Work VIII Never Win.


We commend to all girls who wish OF
expect to engage in self-supporting oc-
cupation, especially where they may
come into competition with men, the
following extract from Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps article, entitled Supporting
herself j" in the May St. Nicholas.
"But, girls, if you don't mean to make
through business of the occupation
You have chosen, never, never, never
begin to be occupied at all. Half finish
ed work will do for amateurs. It will
never answer for professionals. The
bracket you are sewing for New Years
present can hang little crooked
on it's screws, and you will
be forgiven for the loves sake found
therein by the dear heart to which you
offer it; but the trinket carved for sale
in the Sorrento rooms must be cut as
true as a rose-leaf You can be little
shaky as to your German declensions in
the Schiller club, which you join so en-
Enthusiastically after leaving school, and
no great harm ever come of it; but
teach Schiller for living, and for ever
dative case forgotten you are so much
money out of pocket.
"People who pay for thing demand
thorough workmanship or none. To
offer incomplete work for complete
market price, is to be either cheat or
a beggar. The terrible grinding laws
of supply and demand, pay and receive,
give and get, give no quarter to shilly-
shally labor. The excellence of your
intentions is nothing to the point. The
stress of your poverty has not the
slightest connection with the case.
An editor will never pay you for your
poem because you wish to help your
mother. No customer will buy her best
bonnet or her wheat flour of you be-
cause you are unable to pay your rent.
When you have entered the world of
trade, you have entered world where
tenderness and charity and personal in
terest are foreign relations. Not 'for
Friendships sake nor for PHYS sake,
nor for chivalry's sake, runs the great
rallying- cry of this great world-but
for value received
1T is with sorrow and shame, but yet
hope and courage, that I write it, there
Us reason for the extensive complaint
made by men, that women do not work
thoroughly. I am afraid that, till
time and trouble should have taught
them better, they will. not. Isit be-
cause they have never been trained? II
is because they expect to be married
That is not in the least because they
can not, we know; for We know that
some of the most magnificent accurate
work in the world has been done BY
women" !
