MEDICAL.

Talking of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors some Of
them are between you and US.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lleve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0erythlng - and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
" stuff, " you lose faith in e0eyy-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds

ted for Wife.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1S.-Interest in the
disappearance of Charles Anderson. of
bridgeport, in the southern part of the
state, which occurred five years ago, has
recently been revived. Anderson was in
love at the time with Rebecca Money.
There was a rival, George Gillespie, but
the girl accepted Anderson, who arranged
for dance at the hause of Joseph Quassa,
with whom the accepted lover boarded.
Anderson did not appear at the dance, and
nothing has been heard of him since Sus
picion turned to Money and Gillespie who
soon left the neighborhood, the latter as
the husband of the Money girl.
Some Contradictory Testimony.
The matter then seemed to die out till
last Saturday Walt Minton, young man,
found grave in the hills. The Moneys
and Gillespie had meanwhile returned,
the latter after serving a three-year term
for perjury. Minton's discovery led to the
arrest of the gang, and they were taken
before Justice. Al Lee testified that
Hannah Money, cousin of Rebecca, had
told him that they had killed Anderson
and hid him under some logs, and when
they moved away had cut up the body and
burned it in brush pile. The woman de
MED ever having spoken to Lee Gillespie
was held over to court. He denied the
charge, and claimed to know nothing of
Anderson. The grave was opened and
nothing was found it,

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 1S.-While the

cuss a matter of high Importance with the

show how the matter worked Hoar read a

three ministers and seven ambassadors
