John boss, Il negro, was recently

At this he was pushed off the
trestlo and fell II feet to the soft
earth below. The rope was too
long, however, and he landed un-
hurt.
The crowd was too much in
earnest to mind such a small mis-
hap. Doss WIS quickly brought
back and the rope shortened two
feet. This time the drop proved
effective, and the prisoners neck
popped like a dry stick. The
crowd then quickly dispersed.

Catarrh
Is very prevalent and exceedingly

it requires constitutional remedy
like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which act

cal and permanent cure of catarrh in
even its most severe forms. Made

1t is a matter of regret that in in
PRODUCING Hoods Sarsaparilla, its
proprietors are obliged to overcome
a certain distrust by some people who
have unfortunately bought worthless
compounds mixed by persons ignor-
ant of pharmacy. Messrs. G. /. Hood
& Co. are reliable pharmacists of
long experience and they make no
claims for Hoods Sarsaparilla which
cannot be substantiated by the
strongest proof And we say to those
who lack confidence, read the unso-
licited testimonials in favor OF Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and then prove its mer-
its by actual personal test. We are
