Indigestion

rs not only a distressing complaint, of
L itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers SarsapariIIa
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockw4y
Centre, Mich
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
All. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla 1 could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life."

enough for Mrs. Houston TO hear. "Oh, yes,

The bogus wife turned to Mrs. Houston and
said: "This woman claims to know who I

she is She is crazy. She was divorced from
my husband seven years ago, and she has

Then she rushed to the railroad station and

She secured a search warrant and they
were opened in the presence of several wit

There were letters from Mr. Woolston which
established his guilt even without his confess

The most serious evidence found was in re-
lation TO divorce which was being cooked
up In order to secure separation from the
legal wife
The first evidence that such a course was Co

RUINED BY A WOMAN.

ONO Of the Most Remarkable Cousp7raCfc9
Ever Brought to light.
A drama in real life, which combines the
| distinctive features of the Diss Debar and
Flack sensations, with touch OF tragedy
added, had been slowly worked out almost to
| the last act in Kew York city when an uneH
pected interruption not long ago put the
principal actors to fight The facts Of the
case have been published in The New York
| Sun. The comedy had advanced to this
point: An adventures, who has other
/ wealthy New York victims, had estranged a
rich contractor from his wife and family; she
| had secured from him property amounting to
almost million; secret divorce and mar
rage had been considered; the real wife had
barely escaped an assassin's bullet.
The real name of the woman in the case Is
Caroline F. Wells. She was once, and prob
ably still is the lawful wife Of Emmett Wells,
hop commission broker, of New York city.
Her principal victim is George T. Woolston,
contractor well known throughout the
west SIS a builder Of railroads ard water
works. Previous to 1882 Mrs. Wells, as far
as is known, was a dutiful wife and good
woman.
About fifteen years ago she married EN-
met Wells. So far as is known she was faith
full to him during the eight or nine years
they lived together: In 1852 she left him,
going west with tie intention Of engaging in
the cattle business She had about 81 600
1t is said that Mr.. Wells consented to her de-
parture. Years rolled by, and there was no
word from the would be ''cattle queen" and
her friends looked upon her silence as evi.
dence of defeat.
She invested her money and lost it, and be-
came reckless Wonlaniy virtue was appar-
entity thrown to the winds, and she soon be-
gan to live In greater luxury than if she had
remained with her husband.
She went out west as Mrs. Wells, and has
since been known by many aliases She has
always been favorite with men.
George F. Woolston is 43 years old. His
income has averaged between $4,000 and
SIS, 900 per year.
Mrs. Wells and Mr.. Woolston first met in
the west about six years ago. She was intro
duced into Mr.. Woolstons family as Mrs. e.
A. Willard, Of Boston, and he took pains to
spread the report that she was a wealthy
widow who wanted to invest her money in
western property. 1t became necessary for
the widow" to leave Mr.. Woolston's house,
but he continued to spend most OF his tins
in her company in other places. Mrs Wool
ston could not be blind to the situation but
her circumstances were of no avail. Indeed,
Woolston deliberately proposed that he MAIN
tain two households, treating both women
precisely alike financially. The wife failed
TO consent. Finally Woolston spent almost
his entire time with his mistress. They trav-
,led all over the country, registering as hus-
band and wife.
Woolston was lavish in his gifts to his COM
panioa. He made her an allowance of $500
month and all expenses, and she received in
addition magnificent presents.

came home last June from the United States

AS To a Fashionable Craze,


met a rich woman here in Boston the other
day who had just returned laden with spoils
from some mountain town in New Hampshire
or Vermont. Her chief acquisitions were
mahogany bureau and a very pretty little table
of the same material, with slender carved legs
and two shallow drawers opened by brass knobs
She mentioned with great satisfaction the small
price that she had paid for these treasures de-
claring that Boston dealer would have asked
at least five or six times a. much for the same
articles. and she added that they had been kept
In the farm house whence they have now been
taken for upward OF seventy years. The whole
transaction, could not help thinking, savored
OF yulgarity. Surely. il is vulgar TO profit by
another persons lack Of proper feeling or self
respect; 1t is vulgar to induce him to act con-
temptibly, just As IL would be wicked to bride
him TO act corruptly. And IL this be so. then
to go about buying up family beirlooms cheap
is poor business. Besides il il q pity in nv
opinion, to wrench these old pieces Of furniture
from the New England homesteads for which
they were designed, and where, as q rule, thew
constitute the only ornaments. In city house
they must at best presest an archaic appear

A Romantic Marriage.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

FROM the Phliadephla inquirer.
The information sought by Samuel 81. Ho-
shour. lawyer and real estate man of Cam
bridge City Ind, relative to the marriage in
this city last May of Millionaire Geo. E. McKib-
ben to wealthy Sarah NJ. Lawrence, was OBJ
tanned yesterday. The Rev. James T. Satchel,
pastor of the Grace street NJ E. church, who
has been away on his vacation. called at the
orphans court and identified the photograph
which Mr.. Hoshou:. sent to Clerk Bird as the
Mrs. Lawrence whom he joined to Mr.. McKib-
Den. The romantic story goes that some twenty
years ago, when Mr.. McKibben, who is now
forty-eight years old, was young man, living
In San Francisco, be became engaged to a
young lady of Salt Lake City, Utah. The be-
trothal was broken off, and since that time
both the lovers have been twice married and
become widow and widower.
They accidentally met again, she being Mrs.
Sarah NJ. Lawrence. and he having become a
millionaire through successful mining VEN
lures. They talked things over and came to
Philadelphia, where they obtained q marriage
license from Mr.. Bird. Mr.. Hoshour became
interested through a newspaper account of the
| affair. His idea was that the bride is the self
| same Mrs. Sarah NJ. Lawrence, who is the
widow OF j. Lawrence, steamboat owner and
capitalist who was lifelong friend of his.
MIR. Hoshour and Mr.. Bird corresponded about
the matter; and the Indiana man sent on a
large photograph of his dead friends widow.
ms the Clergyman yesterday identified as q
| portrait OF the woman whom he united in mar
! riage to McKibben. Mr.. Bird wrote this fact
| TO MIR. Hoshour and returned the photograph
| to him. The object of the Identification is not
! positively known, but it was thought that rela-
tives OF the dead MIR. Lawrence are interested
III his estate and that some litigation regarding
| 1t is to ensue. In the meantime the happy Mr..
and Mrs. McKibben are said to be passing their
honeymoon i'll Europe.
