CLEVELAND O.. Jan I6-The writer of nu-
merous anonymous and exceedingly annoying
letters sent TO some of the best people in the
southern part of the city was discovered to-day,
after many months work Cd the part of detec-
tive These letters contained charges or insinu-
atoms concerning the character or cond uct OF a
friend OF relative Of the recipient. A wife would
receive letter containing charges of 1ndlscre-

The letters caused great deal Of misery and in
dieuation.
Postmaster Armstrong endeavored to trace
the writer but failed. A detective worked up
the case and discovered the writer to be Miss
Linnie Travitt, twenty three years old, living on
Woodland Hills aven ne. She confessed to being
the writer of the annoying epistles. but could
give no reason for her action. The young
woman made an affidavit that the charges or in
sinuati ons she had made against all the people
were false and copies of the affidavit were sent
to every one who has received the letters who
has been affected by them.

How you accomplish this result? Easily;

to the family physician for a prescription. or, on
the other hand, wait until you are sick abed be-
fore doing anything at all; but just 60 to the

Judge Gary, the judicial jester, has been
making his friends laugh with q new
joke. Have you heard Of the latest alb
stract scheme? OF course you have not,
and your curiosity concerning It is stimu-
lated to an extraordinary degree by the
solemn, almost mysterious air Of the
Judge, who asks you the question. "Weu,"
he says, after you have pressed him to
tell you, 1--WE are getting up a company
that will prepare a complete set Of books
from the records Of the courts, and be
ready to furnish abstracts of titles II men
and women. Say a woman wants to
marry a man whom she has not. known
very long, and she wants to make sure
that he has no wife living in Wisconsin
or Indiana, she comes to our company
and gets an abstract of title on him that
will show her just how many times he
has been married, how many times d.
vorced, how many wives he has had die,
what they died of, and all about his
matrimonial career, If he has had one.
The abstracts, Of course, will be quite
as useful to the man who wants to
know what sort OF q title he can get to
the. woman he is about to mary, and in
every way the scheme will be a good one.
There Is great and an increasing demand
for just such an enterprise right here in
Chicago."-Chicago Herald.

Set Back for Prohibition.

WASHINGTON, March IA decision
was rendered in the supreme court in
the case of Bowman Bros. VS.. the Chica-
go & Northwestern Railway company,
which involves the validity Of a statute
of Iowa forbidding q railroad company
to bring liquor into that state unless
such company has been furnished with
acertificate from the county auditor of
tho county to which the liquor is to be
transported, showing that the consignee
is legally authorized to sell it. The
court holds that tho power to regulate or
forbid the sale OF a commodity after it
has been brought into a state does not
carry with it the right and power to pre-
vent its introduction by transporting
from another state. The section of Iowa
statutes Of April 5, 1856. which prohibits
railroad companies from bringing liquor
into the state. Is therefore declared in
valid and the judgment Of the United
States circuit court for tho northern
division of Illinois is reversed.

Afr the pine woods and aromatic
shrubs of the mountains, and which,
once smelled, brings to mind the great
est remedy of the age. 1t was evidently
the family closet, where remedies for
minor aches and pains have found place
for handy use, and in modern years the
greatest Of all these, known by its pscu-
liar oder. had worked it's wonders for
the happiness of mankind, as the follow
ing examples attest: General G. C. knit
fen, Wa Department Washington, d. c.,
February 20, 1887, states: "For many
years my wife suffered exruciating
pains, frequent and violent. In 1884 she
tried st. Jacobs Oil. It cured her, and
prevented any recurrence. She has not
had any return pain. I trust 1t may
reach the uttermost parts of the earth to
prove as much a blessing in other houses
Indiana, under date Of June, 1887, writes:
In April. 1884, he had his collar-bone
broken, and 1t was very painful. He
used two bottles OF st. Jacobs Oil. It
got entirely we'll, and the remedy
worked like a charm. No return of pain
and used only the n remedy. Mr..
Arthur..G. Lewis, editor Southern Society,
Norfolk, Va, June q, 1887, writes:
"Nothing I can say with regard to St.
Jacobs Oil will do it Justice; haye used II
for q number of years for all aches and
pains, with effects almost marvellous,
and for such, in my opinion, 1t Is unsur-
passed." Mr.. Chateau Bison, 2o9Spruce
street, Philadelphia, Pa, under date OF
Februrary4, 1887, says: "Have used st.
Jacobs Oil in my fanily for ten years;
two wears ago broke my leg; pains very
strength to my leg. If you desire to
publish this, I will be pleased" II the
old house should tumble down, like the
scent of flowers cfinging to q broken
vase, the closet would give forth the
token Of the good this thing has done for
mankind.

Photoxraphinr tho Tomb q, R.u....

PhotoEraphinG the Tomb Of Rsmeses,
Not q ray Of sunshine ever entered the
mysterious apartment which holds Il,
Magnesium light wa employed to secure
its photograph. Eight Bedouins were
posted inside and around it. with an up
lifted taper of burning magnesium in each
hand. Three cameras, large and small,
were focused, in order to increase the
chances Of success. Awilder, more weird
sight I never witnessed. The dark skins
Of the Arabs, with their white robes
shining In the brilliant Light; their excited
yells; their stampeding whenever q bit
OF hot oxide CHANGED to fall upon their
bare shoulders or feet, and the intense
glare OF the burning metal, all gave the
scene an internal realism which needed
no fanctful Salvador Rosa to paint it or
Dante to make It more horrible. More
than once, with the fear Of failure staring
me in the face, I grappled with my dusky
helpers as they fed tom the chamber.
Although half stif1ed by the fumes Of the
burning metal, again and again I forced
them back to their posts. AZ last Ameri-
can magnesium and the Yankee camera
were victorious and brought three pictures
Of the Golfer out to the light, 90 that all
might guess what It is.|anuary Serb

The Verdict Unanimous.

testifes; II can recommend Electric
Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every case.
One man took six bottles and was cured
Of rheumatism of 10 years standing"
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio
a6rms: 1.-THE best selling medicine l
have ever handled in my 20 years ex-
perience, is Electric Bitters." Thous-
mony, so that the verdict is unanimous
that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases
Of the liver kidneys or Blood. Only q

Something That Would Make
Bill Sparks Sick.
Secretary Villas has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to Acting Commissioner
Stockslager relative to homestead resi-
dence:
have considered the appeal of VIM.
A.. Thompson from your decision of
July9, 1886, rejecting his final proof for
land therein. I think this man is en-
titled to his patent. He made his de-
claratory statement April 16, 1883, al
leginga settlement the week before, and
shows that he made it. Itappears that he
was absent most of the following sum-
mer; that he was on the land from fall
until the following spring, absent again
during the succeeding summer, again
upon the land from fall until spring and
not absent six months at any one time.
That heapplied the proceeds of his labor
during the two seasons when he was alb
sent to the building of his house and
making Improvements on his land, now
valued, altogether, at 5000; that he was
q poor man and his absence was for
the purpose Of means to improve his
land and that he devoted all the fruits
of his earnings with fidelity to that pur-
pose. In the spring Of the third year
he left again and remained absent until
the following January, his purpose being
to earn sufficient money to pay the
government for his land. The amount
necessary was 5000 considerable Sum
for a laborer to saw from his wages
during the year in addition to the neces.
