Miss Mary Williams returned from
her Iowa visit last week.

Mitchell Republican: In justice court
before Winslow Abbey, Charles Roales
made complaint that James Grundy
had obtained goods under false pre-
lenses and also charged the defendant
with having in his possession counter
felt silver dollars of the United States
with the intent to sell and circulate
them. Defendent waived examination
and was held to bail in each case for
$3.50, in default Of which he was sent
to Jail. The facts Of the above seem
to be that this man, James Grundy,
lives at Crow Lake, Jerauld county, and
came to Mitchell to do business at the
land office. lie purchased ten cents
worth Of cheese Of G. H. Rhoades, and
gave in payment a 500 bill which was
an old Missouri state bank bill, which
had passed out of existence years and
years ago, received his $19e0in change
and went out. 1t appears Mr.. Rhoades
upon second thought did not just like
the looks of the twenty dollar nill and
went over to the bank to see about it.
The broad grin that spread over the
cashiers face rather convinced friend
Rhoades that he had "got left" He
sent for an officer at once but was I'M
able to identify his man until Mrs.
Rhoades came to the rescue and identi
fed Grundy. In the meantime Grundy
had transacted his business at the land
Office and spent Rhoades' money, went
to the depot to return home where he
was captured. He now languishes in

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger of impair
ment of the mind from excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore6od-
iDgs of evil, desire for solitude, stunning
and avoiding company, vertigo and nervous
debility, or when insanity has already taken
place, PERUNA and MAYALIN should be i'm
plicitiy relied on. But it is never we'll to
wait so long before treatment is commenced.
The early symptoms are loss OF strength,
softness of the muscles, dim or weak sight,
peculiar expression of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion; or
in others, certain powers only are lost while
they are otherwise enjoying comparatively
good health. In all these PERUNA and MAN.
ALGN should at once be taken.
Mrs. S. SMITH, Hillsville, Lawrence
county, Pa, writes: "Dr. S. B. Hartman
Il Co., Columbus, O.: have been a great
sufferer for ten years. 1t seemed as though
every organ in my body was diseased at one
time or another. had about given up all
hopes, when commenced taking PERUNA
and MANALIN. l Immediately began to i'm
prove, the soreness AMI pain disappeared,
strength gradually returned, and now am
as well as eyer in my life, and | owe 1t all

mended it to my friends and it gives better
satisfaction than any other medicine l ever
heard o."
Miss Maria Roderick, Warren, Ohio,
weites: ut is with pleasure and many
thanks that write to you to ten you Of the
great benefit have derived from the use Of
the PERUNA. | have used several bottles OF
your PERUNA, and can safely say it has
done me great deal of good, l have i'm
proved ever since commenced its use.
Mr. T. J. Weber, Plymouth, o., writes:
