That Tired Feeling

Season is here agaln, and nearly everyone feels weak, languid, and exhausted The blood, laden with impurities which have been accumu-
 latng for months, moves sluggishly through the veins, the mind fails to think quickly, and the body is still slower to respond. Hoods Sarsapa- rilla is just what is needed. Itis, in
 a peculiar sense. the ideal spring
 medicine. It puritics, vitalizes, and enriche, the blood, makes the head clear, creates all appetite, overcomes that tired feeling, and imparts new strength and vigor to the whole body.

A Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life.

It was just an ordinary scrap of wrapping paper, but it tsaved her life. She was in the last stages of con sumption, told by physicians that she was incurable and could live only a short time; she weighed less than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she read of Dr. Kings New Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it helped her, she bought large bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew bet ter fast, continued it's use and is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weigh ing 40 pounds.

LOOK OUT FORTH!
A Letter From "Old Kaintuck. .'

EpIToH AND READERS OF NEVADA CoUNTY PICAYUNE:-With T dignllied bow, and tmid air, claim your attention for short time while l give you a "breeze" from "Old Kaintuck." The PICAYrSE has been weekly visitor to my home for four months when the first copy came in I scarcely noticed it, thought it was like many others of its class Country papcrs)-almost worthless. Though now, after four months ac- quantance, pronounce 1t one of the ncwsiest, wittiest and brightest little sheets it has ever been my privilege to read. And that the quill drivers of Arkansas are a brainv set, l no longer doub,--no tlattery intended. With the editor $ permission, and for the benefit oi Hart citizens who have left us to reside in Arkansas, will give q few items that will be of interest to them
 A matrimonial wave swept over this section during the winter months - very effective, sweeping off everyone marriagcable in it's course.
 This country, once noted for it's law-abiding and peaceful ways, now comes to the front for lawlessncss, to the consternation and horror of it's still upright citizens.
 A few weeks since, Leslie Perkins, a young man of sterling worth, well and favorablv known in this portion of the state, was returning home by lonely and unfrequented road after nightfall, when two iiends in hu- man guise, stepped from behind a tree, seizing the bridlc of his horse, presented a pistol at the rider, and commanded him to give up his money, which he did, as any other defenseless man would have done under similar circumstances, to the amount of Sl.070. As if taking his money was not proof enough of their character, and to convince him further, they fired two shots after dismssing him, both balls passing through his clothing without effect. This is only only one of the many awful deeds done in this county ln the last few months, and still no clue to the perpetrators, so completely do they cover up their tracks.
 The farmers here are all about ready to plant corn, a few have planted some, and still fewer num- Der are done,
 The tobacco growers generally are lamenting the destruction of their tobacco beds, as all under can vass are destroyed by insects,
 The prospects for bountifuI fruit crop is still nattering.
 Wishing the PIcAYrNE grand sue cess in the future, and trusting il will cling to its colors, l make my exit, promising to come again some time, if this, my first contribution tc the Arkansas press is accepted. OLIVIA GRAY.

 After q trial lasting eight days, Dick llawes, the Birmingham, Ala, wife and child murderer. was con victed of murder Ill the first degree last Friday. Nearly all the evidence against him was clrcumstantial, but the chain of proof against him was in the minds of the jury as to his guilt. The prisoner heard the yer diet with the same iirmncss and com posture which have characterized his conduct throughout the trial. His attorneys will appeal to the Supreme court for new trial. and it is the opinion of prominent lawyers that it will be granted upon some of the rulings in the lower court This may fairly he considered a case of circumstantial evidence, and we take this occasion to say that no person should be convicted in capital of lenses upon bare circumstantial cvi dencc such cases. where the evi- dence excludes reasonable doubt, the prisoner should be sentenced to Imprisonment for life.
 Dr. r. IIeman Brehmcr, an emi- nent German authority, says:
 "Consumption is always due to deficient nutrition of the lungs, caused by bad blood" At the Brompton Hospital for consumptlves, ! London. Eng. statement has been published that 52 per cent. of the patients of that institution have un- suspected kidney disorder. This explains why the proprictors of War ner's Safe Cure claim that they have received many testimonials which they have not published, because of the mcredulity with which they would be received were it claimed that Warmers Safe Cure cures con sumption. But the fact Is that il your kidneys be cured and put in a healthy condition they eXpel the uric acid and poisonous waste matter, and prevent the irritation of the del icatc substances of the lungs, there by removing the cause. When the effect is removed the symptom of kidney disease, which is called con sumption disappears, and with it the irritation which caused it.

PHILADELPHIA, April 10.-The refusal OF
the City National bank, of Salem, n. j., to
accept certain terms of exchange offered
by the Woodstown, N. j., National bank
has involved those institutions in war
which has assumed comical aspect, as the
Salem bank received on deposit daily a
large number of Woodstown checks. A
messenger is dispatched to the latter place
eighty miles away twice week to receive
money for the same.
In order to punish Salem
people, the cashier imported from
Philadelphia thousands of dollars
in silver coin, and counted it out in
bags to meet these checks, semi-weel1iy.
Messenger Powell, whom the Salem bank
sent down last week, protested, whereupon
the cashier yesterday, when Powell APP
peared with 81 800 i'll checks, wheeled out
the money in a wheelbarrow into the
middle of the bank, compelling Powell to
count out the entire amount.
When bags were asked for in which to
carry the money to Salem, the cashier
politely told him that banks were not in
the habit of furnishing persons with
purses. Powell sent back for a wagon, and
armed guard to assist him in the trans
portation of his burden.
The war continues and is the topic of
conversation with the citizens of the two
counties.

Attempt to Wreck a Train,

CANTON, Ohis, April 1O-Another at
tempt to wreck the westbound limited YES
thule express train on the Fort Wayne
road was made last night near Louisville,
at the same place that an attempt to wreck
the same train was made last Tuesday
night.
An employee of the road discovered the
the dastardly design just in time to
Illustrate it. Upon investigation he found
several railroad ties were securely strapped
across the rails. Knowing the limited
was almost due, and he would be unable to
remove the ties before the train arrived, he
ran eastward along the track toward the
approaching train. The engineer saw the
signal of danger which the employee waived
and applied the brakes but the train did
not come to a standstill until it struck the
obstruction on the track.
The train men removed the ties and the
train proceeded, without any passengers
aboard knowing how narrow an escape they
had had from serious smash-up.

The Public Printer.

Especial to THE HERALD---Examiner Dispatch
WASHINGTON, April lott is not likely
the appointment Of the public printer will
be made at an early date. Private Score
tary Halford said last night that there was
no apparent necessity for an appointment,
inasmuch as the last quarter of the present
fiscal year has already begun, and it was
not so urgent now as during the closing
days of March. From his conversation the
inference was drawn that General Harrison
will be in no hurry to make the appoint
ment.
Editor Osborne still has a commanding
position in the race. Walker Blaine filed a
dispatch yesterday afternoon from Charles
S. Croker, of San Francisco, strongly urg-
ing the appointment of Mr.. Osborne for the
place

THE FISHERIES DISPUTE.
Mr. Elaine Prefers Waiting Policy Just at
Present.

Mr. Elaine Prefers Waiting Policy Just at
Present.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. J
WASHINGTON, April 10.-Secretary Blaine
has had several consultations with Senators
n Representatives fl ON the states inter
esJcd in the fisheries question, but has not
yet declared any policy 81 TIE subject. His
parpOsc seems 10 be to gather information
as to Just what the fishermen want, and
what their representatives think ought to
be done He may be compelled in order to
maintain his personal reputation, to assume
an aggressive attitude, but there are many
who think he will practically let the matter
drift until next winter. 1t is argued that 1t
would be unwise for the state department
to assume a belligerent attitude towards
Great Britain while we are depending to
certain extent upon her support against
Germany in the Samoan matter.
Another argument for delay is found in
the appointment of the Senate select com
mittee on relations with Canada, of
which Senator Hoar is chairman. If
this committee should conclude its labors
this summer, it is argued, and make a
cOmprensive adjustment of our relations
with the Dominion, this would include the
fisheries difficulty in its scope.
1t is reported here that many fishing
vessels are paying for their licenses under
the nodus riUendi with the evident feeling
that there is no better course for them to
pursue As rule, the individual fishing
captain would probably rather pay the
money than make himself the subject of
an international dispute. If Mr.. Blaine,
however, wishes to assert the principle that
the privilege to touch and trade belongs
to our vessels without payment, he could
readily find captain who would make a
test case for him

ROSWELL P. FLOWER.
His Visit West-He VIII Post Himself on
Water Points knowledge is Useful.

CHICAGO, April 10.-When asked to-day
as to the object of his western trip, Roswell
P. Flower, of New York, who will be a
member of the Fifty-frst Congress, said
''There is only one railway journey in the
country that have never made, and that
is from Portland, Oregon, to Bismarck,
Dakota territory. l have special reason
for wishing to make this trip at
the present time There are questions
that cannot be investigated in
Washington concerning this territory, and
l hope in trip partly for pleasure to get
some original knowledge on several impor-
tant questions
Several bills asking for government sub
sidy for the development of water storage
in the new states are now pending, and
there is a probability that more will
be introduced I want to visit the caflOns
where tits proposed to create the reservoirs,
and see for myself if the land adjacent
is now owned by those asking Congress for
aid. If it is, and only few private indi-
viduals are to be benefited, l propose to in
sist that they shall build their own water
sheds.
When 1 was in Congress before l was
able to be of service because Of my knowl-
edge of the Yellowstone Park region,
which l obtained in the same way.
