This remark we often hear from both men
and women that are positively in that con-
dition that life is no longer to them a
pleasure but instead a ntinual bore.
THE GREAT SIERRA KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE is especially adapted for
just such cases. 1t acts gently on the
bowels, puriies the blood without un
slightly blotches, renovates the kidneys
and liver, the great organs of existe ce
that must be kept clear. By thus doing
its work it brings the nervous system
into healthy condition, producing sound
and refreshing sleep. For all female COM
PAINTS, leucorrhea, suppressed menses,
no matter from what cause, attended by
severe pain, and all other complaints so
common among women, it Immediately
relieves and effects a permanent cure.

51sed Hsrya-v Ytolm a T0op,ho1s.-

The Indians were growing inpatient,
and had demanded her return. There
was no further time to waste. Harry
GREY sprang to the door to assist the cap
tive, while the others held their guns to
the loop-holes.
Daisy Murdock did not lack courage
when the proper moment came to exer-
else it fully. It was short run, but
veritable run for life and liberty. The
Indians fired several times after her, but
her STOPPING motion had made the shots
rattle harmlessly over her head. She
was soon clasped safely in Harry's arms,
which quickly placed h er, almost faint
ing, within the fort.
Then began siege which lasted one
week. Many Indians were killed, but
small bands would each day come along,
and thus keep the besiegers reinforced.
As had been expected, the Sioux found
the quarry back of the milk-house, and
began an attack from that quarter. The
torpedo was exploded at the right mo-
ment, killing several and severely
wounding a dozen. They tried in every
way to burn them out, but with no sue
cess.
When the number of Sioux had in
creased to one hundred, and the whites
had begun to consider their case hope
less one, troops came and drove the red
men away.
For miles and miles the direSt devas-
tation had been wrought to the homes
on these prairies. Not building re-
manned: only ashes and blackened ruins
marked the spots where happy homes
had once been.
Daisy Murdock's home had been
burned, her father butchered before her
own eyes, and she had been taken cap
tive.
By making their fight there on the
prairie they had, no doubt, held large
force of the Sioux from committing
countless other bloody depredations on
other settlers.
In due time their homes were rebuilt,
and they were again prosperous. Harry
and Daisy never forget to lift grateful
hearts to Providence for their preserva-
ton during the terrible Sioux outbreak.

HOPE FOR THE SICK.
Dine Remedy for One Disease


''The four greatest medical centres Of the world
are London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. These cities
have immense hospitals teeming with suffering iu.
mainly. Crowds of students throng the wards study
Ing under the Professors in charge. The most re.
nowned physicians OF the world teach a. d practice
here and the institutions are storehouses of medical
knowledge and experience With view Of making
this experience available to the public the Hospital
Remedy Co. at great expense secured the prescrip-
lions OF the hospitals prepared the specifics. and al
though 1t would cost FROM $25 to 800 to secure the
attention OF their distinguished originators yet in
this way these valuable medicines are sold at the
price OF the quack patent medicines that food the
market and absurdly claim to cure every i'll from
single bottle. The want always felt for a reliable
class OF domestic remedies Is filled with perfect
satisfaction. The hospital Remedies make no un.
reasonable claims. The specific for Catarrh cures
that and nothing else; so with the specific for Bron
chitis, Consumption and Lung Troubles; Rheuma-
tism is cured by No. 3, while troubles of Digestion
Stomach, Liver and Kidneys have their own cure.
To these is added specific for Fever and Ague, one
Tor Female weakness-a general tonic and blood
maker that makes blood and gives form and fullness

Personal Friendliness of Some of the Hot
test Political Opponents.
You can look down from the gallery of
either House on intimacies between pro-
fessed opponents like that between
Steele and Carlisle. The ingenious Mr..
Pickwick was not more astOnished at
amiable relations of the opposing coun-
Gil in the great case of Bardell VS.. Pick
wick than is the average thick-and-thin
partisan by the personal friendliness
shown by the hottest orators on the
floor for the boldest leaders of the oppo-
sition. Every body knows how intimate
Senator Cameron and Senator Butler of
South Carolina are. How they talk to-
gether in the Senate, lunch together,
drive together, and hunt and fish to-
gether, in closer bonds than either is
with any party friend. Allison's friend
ship with Beck, and Reeds with Ran
dali, are perhaps not so generally
known. Hawley has many friends on
the Democratic side, and so have Sher-
man, Morrill,, John p. Jones, Evarts,
Aldrich, Hale, Sawyer, Spooner and
Henderson, while Wade Hampton, Vance,
Colquitt, Payne and Mcpherson are
equally popular on the Republican side.
Even Edmunds and Hoar have their
friends among the Democrats. Hoar
still keeps his, but Edmunds seems to
grow more reserved continually. He
misses Thurman from the Democratic
side. They were great cronies. John
D. Long was the most popular Republi-
can on the Democratic side of the House.
Mckinley and Reed are both liked
here, and so is Butterworth. Carlisle
is, of course, the most popular Democrat
on the Republican side, and then come
the Breckinridges and Mills-yes, Mills,
the particular target of every Republic

Detected by Photographs.

During the last Belgian maneuverS
General van der Smissen had ordered
some photographers to be stationed at
various points on the maneuver field.
At the end of the operations he had the
proofs brought to him, and could there
by ascertain that frequently his instruc-
tons had been neglected. Thus at the
passage of ford he could see that many
soldiers, instead of fastening their cart
ridge pouches to their rifles, as the in
structions prescribe, left them where
they were, whereby they got wet. He
also observed that no ropes were
stretched across the stream to mark the
tord and to enable the soldiers to hold
fast on in case the current proved too
strong. A good many other things the
General is said to have found out, and so
the photographers will probably become

PRIVATE WORDS WITH wOMEN

The eminent and successful electro
magnetic physicians, Drs. Darrin, have
discovered and pei fected a system OF
t tneI that has caused revolution in
the treatment Of female diseases. Wher
ever their treatment is tested and fknown
it has done away with so much nauseous
drugs and surgical operations whereby sc
many precious lives have been lost.
AS discovery, it ranks with Haryev's
discovery of the circulation of the blood
1t has proved in more than a thousand
cases of the worst kind to be positive
cure for the following female diseases:
Ovarian tumors. polypus liberation and
dropsy OF womb irregnlarity, infiamma.
ton, congestion and falling of womb, leu.
corrhoea, painful and suppressed menstru.
alton, flooding, frequent urination. bear.
ing down pains, backache, headache, hack
ing cough, melancholy, absence of ambi
ton or desire to live, or, in fact, any com.
plant having its origin in a disOrdered
state of the generative and accompanying
organs, whether from contagious diseases,
hereditary, accident tight lacing, miscar.
ri age or other causes.
Their method of treatment is harmless,
pleasant and mild. 1t is applied directly
to the womb without the use of instru.
ments; can be applied by tn. patients
themselves, TT US securing correct local
treatment at home, and its application is
easy and simple. Its curative action on
the inftamed, congested and liberated
parts is immediate.

Pay Your Bills.

Every one has heard the story
of the ten-cent piece that settled
indebtedness to the amount of sew
eral dollars by being passed
around among half dozen men.
The moral of the story is a practi-
cal one. A little money in circu-
lation can accomplish great deal,
and if one man pays his debts
promptly, he enables others to pay
their debts as well. "Pay as you
go" is a good motto, and a better
one is. Never go, if you can't pay"
If you have incurred Indebtedness
already, do what you can towards
paying it, and, if possible, wipe it
out altogether. Every dollar you
give to the grocery man may pay
ten dollars worth of debts before
1t gets into resting-place IN the
Golfers of some capitalist, and the
burdens of many will be lightened
by so much. Money is useless IN
less it is in circulation. Pay your
own debts promptly, and the abil-
ity which you give to others to
pay their debts will very likely, IL
the end, enable your debtors tc
pay you.-Someryille Journal
