BEAvER FALLS, August 2S.-Mrs. M. j.
Forbes appeared before Justice Piper to-day
and made an information against her hus-
band, Isaiah, for attempting to poison her
and their three children. She alleges he
has made several attempts within the last
two years. Once, she says, he put arsenic
in their coffee, and it was only by the most
strenuous efforts of the physician that their
lives were saved.
AT another tipe he put poisonous pow
der in their food, which they ate, and again
a physician had great trouble in saving
their lives. She is afraid he will yet sue
ceed in his evil designs. The man was
arrested and is now in the lookup. He
denies the whole affair, and claims that his
wife does not love him and is taking this
plan to get rid of him.

Farmer Nichols. who lives near Raylton,
a n miles from here, took novel way to
startN team Of balky horses. He was haul

when the horses baked. After every effort
had been made to start them without sue
cess, he kindled fire under them, when
they started, pulled the wagon over the fire
and the fire communicated to the oats, the
whole load in few minutes being a mass of
flames.
The horses grew frantic with the heat and
dashed for the barnyard, throwing the driver
from his seat. The wagon passed over one
of his feet and seriously injured him. The
frantic animals then ran into the BARNARD
and set fire to several stacks of oats, and in
an incredible short time Farmer Nichols
was mourning the loss of his entire crop.
The wagon was completely destroyed, moth
ing remaining but the iron.

Among the patrons of a certain Amer-
can university, is Mr.. NJ, who, be-
sides being a generous, broad-minded, al
though very illiterate merchant, is in
high esteem in that seat of learning on
account of the considerable financial aid
he has from time TO time furnished. At
an alumni dinner once, he was called up
on for speech, but declined. The
guests would not be put of in that sum-
mary manner, and applauded until Mr.
NJ was forced to get on his feet. With
much confusion the orator began by say
ing: "My friends, you know | was not
a college man. Even now | don't know
whether the refreshment class comes
previously before the sycamore c.iss or
previously after, but" The noise Of
mingled laughter and applause which
followed, drowned the conclusion of the
sentence, and Mr.. M-sat down, looking
confused but smiling, with the vague

Danger Tn Cider.

DIR. Oliver, of Havre. advises people to
be careful in drinking cider If they
would avoid typhoid fever. French
cider is made, as rule, with stagnant
water, the microbes in which do not
perish during the fermentation. The
fever germs thrive upon the juice or the
apple. In proof Of this DIR. Oliver offers
the fact that typhoid is more prevalent
in Normandy, the great cider making
district, than in any other part of France.

The stomach Distils Acids.

These, if existent in natural quantity,
aud unviiiated by bile. play their part in
the functions of digestion and assimilation.
But the artificial acid resulting from the
inability OF the stomach to convert food re-
ceiyed by it into susienance, is the pro-
ducer of hatulenoe and heartburn, which
are the most harrassing symptoms of dys-
pepsia. The best csrminative is Hostetters
Stomach Bitters. Far more effective is it
than carbonate OF soda, magnesia or other
alkaline salts. These invariably weaken
the stomach without producing permanent
benefit. No man or woman clronically
dsspeptic, aud consequently nervous, can
be in possession of the fall measure of
vigor allowed by nature Therefore, in
vigorate and regulate the system, and by
so doing protect 1t from malaria, rheuma.

The Arkansas political assassins are de-
termined 10 maintain their re putation for
bloodthirstiness. Not content with killing
Colonel Clayton for opinions sake, they
ave now assassinated the man who was
employed to collect the testimony to
lead to the detection of the men who took
Clayton's life. No other excuse is offered
for the latest killing than that the man
was pursuing an investigation that might
bring some of the people in the Plummer-
vile region into trouble regarding the
murder of Clayton. The local officials rem
dered the man no aid in his effort to ferret
out criminals, and his labors were inter-
rupted by all manner of obstacles. Of
course the men who are guilty of these
cowardlY murders are not those who were
the political friends of Colonel Clayton
Partisans do not set about to murder their
leaders and those they propose for Office
The dominant party in Arkansas should
therefore bestir itself to secure the arrest
and conviction of the guilty, and if it does
not it must expect to be stigmatized as
stained with blood. 1t has met and
passed resolutions, to be sure, but that is
the cheapest sort and weakest kind of de-
Tense, and does not one particle remove the
odium attaching to the ruling political
power in that State.
