TELL The TRUTH !!
A TRUE STORY By A MAN WHO CAN
Nor STAND A LIAR.

There's more square-jawed lynn about
fishin'," said the Colonel, as he leaned
back and puffed at cigar which was ev-
identity twisted conglomeration of wet
oak and mullen leaves, "than all the 9th
er experiences of life. Why can't man
tell the truth ?"x
1But they say, Colonel remarked a
friend, "that yoat have had considerable
experience in the fishing business"
"Well, yes, perhaps that's what makes
me so strongly detest the abominable ly-
ing. True, I've had some wonderful ex-
periences, but nothing that would Justify
me in tellin' lie. The liveliest bit of
experience ever had was the time big
pike jumped out of the water and robbed
my dinner-basket was sittin' upon the
bank of a stream, with my basket sittin'
back of me, and faithful dog keepin'
watch of the basket. Becomin' some
what worn out, lay down upon the
bank, keepin' watch of my line. Suddenly
a great big pike, some four feet long,
fiipped up out of the water, took a look
toward my basket, then glided under the
water again. In moment more he came
up again with a tremendous rush, leap
ed clean into my basket, seized my lunch,
and with another leap, was back again
into the water, his chuckling over his
good fortune sending up shower of
bubbles as he went down.
"But, Colonel, where was the dog?"
"Oh, he was off in the bushes gnawin'
a bone-but look here. Don't you pre-
tend to say that I was dreamin', or that
that dog stole that lunch. 1t was the
pike. I'm tellin' you the truth. hate a

FINTON SWITCH!
How The HIGHwAYMEN RAKE In
The MONEY!

On last Saturday night Elmer Shumate
started home from Portland with some
nine or ten dollars in his pocket. When
near Finton Switch he was seized by two
.highwaymen, who held him until a third
went through his pockets and took all his
money. The robbers then drew their re-
volvers and ordered Shumate to travel
Immediately, which he did. This, accord
ing to our informant, Capt. Evans,) is the
second robbery occurring at this switch.
The man with the shotgun wants, to go
that way, with his pocket full of money.

Surprise Party.

Surprise Party.
HILLsDALE. o., August 20, 1885.
About 10 o'clock to-day the friends and
neighbors began to assemble at the house
of Levi Cavey, all laden with baskets and
packages of some kind, until some forty
persons had collected. This being the
fifty-fifth marriage anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. Cavey, it was thought fit time
to call on them and show that respect
they deserve, by social gathering. They
received many presents. AT noon all
partook of splendid dinner. All parties
seemed to enjoy themselves. Mr.. Cavey
is IA. and Mrs. Cavey 76 years old. They
have seven children living, one dead,
forty grandchildren, and eight great
grandchildren. Mrs. Cavey is quite fee
BILE, but does most of her housework. Mr..
Cavey's health is good, except sore
hand. He had chain fastened to cow.
She took fright and broke loose from
him. A hook on the chain caught in his
hand, lacerating it in horrible manner.
He became his own surgeon, amputated
his little finger himself. 1t is doing well.

Rheumatism

1t Is an established fact that Hoods Sar-
saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy
in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity of the blood, which
is the cause of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fsid.
1t is certainly fair to assume that what
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others 1t
will do for you. Therefore, il you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy fair trial.
A Positive Cure.
"I was troubled very much with rheuma-
tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. 1
could hardly walk, and was confined to my
bed a good deal of the time. Being rec
commended to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, 1
took four bottles and am perfectly well.
I cheerfully recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla
as one of the best blood purifiers in the
world" W. F. WOOD, Bloomington, Ill.
For Twenty Years
Ihave been afflicted with rheumatism. Before
1888 found no relief, but grew worse. then

A man named Darlington got into an
argument with Captain Stockman of
Petrea, and assaulted him, shaking him
up in lively manner. The assailant
was arrested and brought before Squire
John T. Moore, and fined five dollars and
costs. The Captain became alarmed af-
ter attending the trial, and desired the
officers to call and investigate the case,
but his wounds did not prove serious.

A case recently occurred at Hamden
which sharply illustrates an abuse which
ought to be stopped at once. A forgery
had been committed in that place, and
local detective talent got hold of the case,
and attempted to ferret out the criminal.
Detectives Campbell and Stanton went
to Indiana and arrested man named
David Pasco, a miner, and brought him
to Hamden. It seems that Pasco did not
bear the least resemblance to the forger,
and is poor man, yet they left him to
find his way back to Indiana as best he
could, after his discharge. which of course
occurred as soon as he appeared before
the Justice. Aside from the expense of
such work, there are strong arguments
against this reckless system of arrests.
A Detective is just as responsible for his
acts as any other citizen, and there should
be little more care exercised in work
ing up criminal cases. A few damage
suits might work a great improvement
in our Detective system.

The meetings of the Second Baptist
Church at the Fair Ground have not been
successful thus far in a pecuniary point
of view. There have been drenching
rains which kept the people away, and
altogether the results have been discour-

over next Sunday, and an earnest invita-
ton is extended to all to attend and assis
these people in completing their church.
It will take but a little from each person
to finish up this good work.
