Weak
and Weary

In early summer the warmer weather is es-
pecially weakening and enervating, and that tired
feeling prevails everywhere The great benefit
which people at this season derive from Hoods
Sarsaparilla proves that this medicine "makes
the weak strong" 1t does not act like stimu-
liant, mparting fictitious strength, but Hoods Sar
saparilla builds up in perfectly natural way all
the weakened parts, and purIfes the blood.

To Die Before Kemm1er.

PLATTsBURG, N. Y., June 11.-Judge Fish has fixed the time for the execution by electricity of Joseph Chapleau for the week beginning July 21. When Chapleau was convicted last January the execution was fixed for the third week in March, but a motion before the court of appeals for @ new trial acted as stay. The motion was denied and the prisoner was brought here from Clinton prison for resentence. Chap leau killed Irwin Tabor, 8 neighbor, with cousin to Premier Chapleau, of the Cana alan government and a college graduate He was formerly a soldier in the regular army, and was stationed here. In all probability he will have the unenviable hotoriety of being the first man to be legally killed by electricity.
