Tired Feeling

Is experienced by almost everyone at this season,
and many people resort to Hoods sarsaparilla 10
drive away the languor and exhaustion. The
blood, laden with impurities which have been ac-
cumulating for months, moves sluggishly through
the veins, the mind falls to think quickly,
and the body Is still slower to respond. Hoods
sarssparllla is Just what is needed. II purihes,
vitalizes, and enrlches the blood, makes the heal
clear, creates an appetite, overcomes that tired
feeling, tones the nervous system, and imparts
new strength and vigor to the whole body.
sMy appetite was poor, l could not sleep, had
headache a great deal, pains in my back, my
bowels did not move regularly. Hoods sarsapa-
rilla in a short time did me 30 much good that l
feel IKE a new man. My pslns and aches are re-
iieved, my appetite improved GEORGE F.

Pacific Railway, and $50 miles west Of Du-
buque. The lake is from two to three
feet higher than the earth's surface. In
some places the wall is ten feet high, fifteen
feet wide at the bottom, and five feet wide
on top. The stones used in its construction
vary In weight from three tons down to a
hundred pounds. There is an abundance
OF stones in Wright county, but surround
ing the lake to the extent of five or ten
miles there are none. No one can form an
an idea as to the means employed to bring
them to the spot, or who constructed il.
Around the entire lake is n belt of wood
land one-half mile in width, composed of
oak. With this exception the country is
rolling prairie. The trees must have
been planted there at the time of the
building of the wall In the spring of the
year 1906 there was a great storm and the
ice on the lake broke the wall in several
places, and the farmers in the vicinity
were compelled to repair the damages to
prevent inundation. The lake occupies
ground surface of $500 acres; depth of
water as great as twenty-five feet. The
water is clear and cold; soil sandy and
loamy. 1t is singular that no one has

HER SECOND TRIAL.

Another Trip.

The Cruiser Charleston Leaves Frisco on
Another Trip.
SAN FRANCISCO. August 21st.-The cruiser
Charleston left port this morning to make
second trip at sea. She did not get away
at as early an hour as was expected She
steamed along the front about o'clock
and passed the heads at 7:l5 o'clock. r.
wing NJ. Scott and several friends accom-
pany the vessel on the trip, as well as the
Naval Board.
Captain Goodall. who had charge of the
vessel the last trip, was in command.
Among the officers OF the Naval Board, be-
side Commodore Benham, President of the
Board, were Captain Watson and Lieuten-
ant Qualtrough. Aboard, also, were Lieu
tenant Todd, who is to be the executive
officer OF the Charleston when she is turned
over to the Government, Chief Engineers
Kutz, Wilson and Smith, and Assistant
Engineers Warburton, Hollis, Smith, Leon
ard and Kincaid.
The general impression seemed to be
that the cruiser would go direct to Santa
Barbara, as was done previously, but this
intention was denied by well.informed
naval officers here, who asserted that the
only object of the cruise was to get the de-
sired four hours test of her engines. This,
it was believed, could be had somewhere
outside nearer than the Santa Barbara
channel. The vessel did not clear for Santa
Barbara. but simply for "a cruise and it
is thought will return to port to morrow
or next day. The recent tests of this cruis-
er's engines have, it is understood, been
very satisfactory, and there seems to be
little doubt in the minds of those most in
terested that the trip will result to the sat.

OF these vessels are to be constructed under

perhaps two, of them. Mr.. Scott had a

Colonel Remy in relation to the official
trial trip of the Charleston, which is about
to come off. Mr.. Scott talked Interestingly
of his firms experience with the Charles
ton at her last trial trip.
In conversation regarding real estate
matters in California and Washington Ter

ritory is wonderful country. Though half
a dozen cities and towns have been burned
down, they spring up better than before,
Three months from now YOU will never
know that Seattle has had a fire, unless by
seeing that it has much better buildings

places by burning out old buildings. They
have had too much boom, however. In
Seattle the best building lots are held at
81, 400 'front.' foot, equivalent to not less
than $40 the square foot. That is toomuch
for city of only 25,OO0 Inhabitants.
Southern California, too. has had too much
boom, and is now suffering the conse-
quences. One year ago rode twenty
miles out from San Diego, and saw city
lots staked out the whole way. 1t is well

A Frisco Physician in the Swim and Out
does Brown-Sequard.
SAN Francisco, August 21st.-The value
OF the Brown-Sequard elixir has, it is
thought, been ably demonstrated in some
what negative manner by we'll known
San Francisco physician during the past
few weeks. His name is withheld from
publication from reasons of modesty on
his part, and not because of any lack OF
confidence in the value of his experiments.
With many physicians, he agreed that the
exact Brown-Sequard formula was danger
Gus, the bacillus of tuberculosis being apt
to be very easily communicated to the pa
tient in the prescribed sol ution.
That the real value of the elixir is due
wholly 10 the influence upon the mind of
the patient, was the theory of this San
Francisco physician, and to prove his the
ory he mixed a solution of milk and water
and experimental upon over q dozen
elderly patients whose vigor was more or
less impaired. They were nearly all kept
in Ignorance of the real properties of the
solution. The results were surprising. A
paralytic walked. half-demented man
frightened up, and all said they felt better
than for years. The effects of the injections
lasted about twenty-four hours. The in
lection was performed with the ordinary
hypodermic instrument. Those who were
told previously that the injection was only
milk and water, felt no effects from it. The
physicians who know the results consider
they prove absolutely the utter worthless
ness of the much-heral6ed theory. the
value of which is doubtless due only 10 in

SPORT FOR YOUNG BUCKEYES

How they Conducted an Original and
Successful Charivari.
A dispatch from Findlay, O., August
18th, says:
There was rare fun out in Delaware
township, this county, last night Merle
SouTs, % years of age, married girl of
about II summers, and the BOYS in the
neighbOrho0d determined TO give them
something out of the ordinary in the way
of chariyari. These mischiefmakers
came TO the city and from a slaughter
house procured two buckets of fresh blood
and carried them out in the country where
the newly-wedded couple were to spend
the night. AS soon as everything indi-
Gated that December and MAY had retired,
the boys stepped into the yard and poured
stream of blood entirely around the
house.
Having accomplished this without de-
lection, they drove half dozen cows into
the yard and concealed themselves to await
developments. The sport began at once,
and without an overture. The COWS no
sooner shifted the blood than they COM
menced believing frantically, and could
be heard mile or two. Other cows
caught or" and soon there came pro-
ceSsion of boyines from nearly every farm
in the township, all believing in the most
vehement manner. They fought and
stamped, and paved the ground, and bell
lowed in chorus until the bridal couple
nearly went wild from annoyance.
When the tumult was at its hight the
bridegroom emerged from the house armed
with huge club and wearing a red shirt.
He made an endeavor to drive the COWS
away, but his appearancei in such costume
only added fuel to the flames. The old
man made one run around the house, pur-
sued by the entire outfit Of cattle, and
just managed to get back within the door
way as the horns of the leader of the pro-
cession tore a generous piece out of his
red flannel shirt; the bride in the mean
time adding to the horrible din by scream
ing at the top of her voice.
Not wink Of sleep came to the couple
that night, but by early MOI ming the cat
tie had SO thoroughly eifaced all trace
of the blood by their paving and tramp
ing that it no longer acted as drawing
card, and, one by one, they withdrew from
the battlefield, and the sun looked dow
upon a vacant yard and a vanquished
carnival. 1t was the strangest and most
successful eharivari on record.
