The Earl of Dud- ley and Lord Lurgan were among the pris- oners arraigned. The Earl of Dudley ap peared to be ashamed of the pasition in which he found himself, but Lord Lurgan assumed defiant air.

Dangerous Use of Strong Purgatiyes

Most pills, purgatives and Bitter Waters, which act quickly upon the bowels irrtate and often de- stroy the mucous coats of the stomach and bowels, Indeed their cathartc action is directly caused by the irritation of the bowels, which they produce Their action should be soothing and stimulating. instead of irritating. A continued use of such remedies produces chronic inflammation of the stomach and bowels. This often ends in dangerous disease. The use of the genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is highly recommended as an epert- ent laxative and diuretic, because its actonis due solely to it's solvent and stimulating properties: It soothes and allays inflammation, and is therefore much preferable to all strong purgatives and Bitter Waters

A PLUCKY WOMAN


 Prevents the Escape of Several Pris- oners from the County Jail at Akron, Ohio.
 PITTsBuRa, May 13.-A special from Ak ron, Ohio, says: The prisoners in the county jail, all indicted for penitentiary offences, made an attempt to escape last evening. Harry Burns, their leader, had unlocked the heavy corridor door by means of a hard wood key he made, when Mrs. Gamble, the deputy sheriff's wife, the only adult in the front part of the jail, ran in and shut the guard door, which is made of light iron bars. The prisoners were advancing on this Burns armed with an iron bed slat when Mrs. Gamble seized @ revolver and cried out "the first one that touches this door Is dead man. The prisoners could easily have broken down the door, but the cooked revolver held them at bay until the arrival of Sheriff Bum, whom Mrs. Gamble's daughter called by tell ephone. The prisoners were then secured and put in their cells.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

When the scribe asked our efficient
superintendent of streets who trim
med the trees in the park at the head
of Main street, he ereplied in the words
of George Washington, Il did it with
my little hatchet." But it took only
a glance at the park to see how much
it had been improved, and every one
says it ought to have been done be-
fore. The park is now the handsom-
est one in town and when the fence is
painted and seats placed therein it
will make a desirable resort.
The people who live near this park
are SO thoroughly convinced that a
step in the right direction has been
taken that they are all following in
Supt. Blossoms lead, and there has
been a general trimming of trees in
front of their houses the past week.
Let the good work go on and let it
extend to Summer street and other
streets in town. Physicians tell us
it is unhealthy to have SO many trees
around the houses and visitors from
abroad declare that the village has
too many trees. Look over your
own yard and trim the trees, and be
sure and cut down any scrubby and
scraggly ones that cucumber the
ground.
