Pears
Soap

Skin blcmishcs, like
foul teeth, are the more
offensive because they
are mostly voluntary.
The pores are closed.
One cannot open them in
a minute; he may in a
month.
Try plenty Of soap,
give it plenty OF time,
and often; excess of good
soap will do no harm,
Use Pears'-no alkali in
it; nothing but soap.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts Of people arc
using it.

INDIAN ETIQUETTE.

Tho MaharaJah Declined O Receive
HIS Grandfather's Inv tat:on.
A curious incident was brought to
notice in connection with the recent
marriage OF the heir.apparent OF the
Jodhpore state. 1t appears that &C.
cording to the custom in vogue among
native chiefs a kharita OF invitation
to the royal wedding was ordered to
be sent to the maharajah of Gwallor.
The official who wrote the kharita
did not know the mode of addressing
the ruling chief of Scindia, and there
fore referred to old records OF the
state, in which the name of the late
grandfather of the present chief was
mentioned. .s.
The official copied the address word
for word, and sent it off to Gwalior
by a daroga. On the iharita being
presented to the maharajah of Gwal-
ior, he refused to open it, saying he
could not open kharita addressed
to his grandfather, who died before
the mutiny, and asked the man to
take it to his samad, three miles out
of Gwalior. None OF tha representa-
tives OF the Gwalior state ATTENDED
the wedding on this account.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

The Cats Worse Than Nice.

For some days past there has been
a. great slaughter of cats in the treas
ury department at Washington. Some
years ago there were a good many
mice about the building end a few cats
were introduced to keep them down.
The cats thrived in their new home
and they multiplied so rapidly that
they had become more of nuisance
than the mice. They roamed all over
the big building from the subterranean
coin vaults to the firerooms in the
attic. They would steal luncheons
carried to the department by the
clerks and were generally in the way.
1t was finally determined to clear
them out and q number of box traps
were secured and set in different parts
OF the building. The cats were taken
alive and then drowned. In all seven.
ty-five of the felines have been killed
and it is believed the building is COM
pletely cleared OF them.-Baltimore

In THE THROES OF A FEUD.
A MISSISSIPPI CITY IS EN-
BROILED.
The Numerous Escapes Of a Con-
victed White Rapist at Merid-
ian Arouse the Suspicion
and Ire Of Respecta-
BILE Citizens.
Bayed by Bloodhounds.

Meridian, Miss, Nov. 7.-Kemper county
is in the throes of bloody feud. Several
years ago Tom Tolbert, o white man not
possessing extra good sense, committed
rape upon a young girl of respectable pa
rentage. Public sentiment was aroused, but
fear Of the Tolbert clan, which was large
and fearless, prevented mob violence. Toll
bert was arrested and sentenced to the peni.
tentiary for life. In short time he escaped
but was recaptured at Hickory and sent
back. Again he escaped, and has since
been at large in his native haunts in Kem-
per. OF late he has become bolder, and
has often been seen at public places. The
sheriff took steps to arrest IoIbert. He
deputized Will Sinks and Tom DON
ah to arrest him. Yesterday evening
Spinks and Donald We're Mt an Indian
blacksmith shop when Tom Tolbert and his
brother, John Tolbert, came up. Tom took
refuge behind the shop and fired upon the
deputies until his ammunition was exhausted
and he was forced to retire. A posse was
organized and with hounds Tom Tolbert
was chased all night. The house OF Toll
Dert's father was surrounded by q posse.
and just after daylight Tom and a crowd Of
his friends, armed with Winchesters,
opened fire on the posse, killing Thomas
Cole. The posse, being armed only with
shotguns, could do no execution and re-
treated. All the country Is aroused, and
rs both sides are known to have grit more
bloody work Is. certain. A party accom-
panied by bloodhounds left this city late
last night for the scene Of battle, twenty
five miles distant.

Amusing Devices Of Bankers.

Amusing Devices OF Bankers.
Some amusing anecdotes are being
told Of the devices resorted to by
bankers to gain time and inspire con-
fdence. On one memorable occasion
the excited subscribers, much to their
indignation. were only able to enter
the bank one by one except at the
cost Of spoilt coats, az the cute man
ager had caused the door-pests to be
freshly painted. a
Another bank nearly prevented a
crisis in it's affairs by exhibiting in the
windows large tubs apparently brim.
full OF sovereigns. These tubs, how
ever, were simply upside down, and a
small quantity OF gold only piled up
on their bottoms. =.
But the most ingenious dodge of all
was successfully carried outin Buenos
Ayres quite recently. There was a
run on q large bank, and for several
days subscribers beseiged the prem
ises, withdrawing money and placing
it. in another on the opposite side OF
the road. 1t happened, however, that
these two institutions had private

About the Railroads.

The Davenport Iowa & Dakota was sold
at auction to the Burlington. Cedar Rapids
& Northern for $500, 600, to satisfy q judg.
ment for that amount held by the Farmers
Loan & Trust Company Of New York.
1t is reported that William M. Burgard,
eenercl agent of the Chicago & Northwest.
srn in Buffalo, is to be promoted to the
position of assistant general freight
agent.
The shipment Of grain and stock from
the Northwest this season have taxed the
full carrying capacity of the transcontinen.
tai railroads. There has fortunately been
no blockade, but every freight car has been
called into reguisition.
The Columbus, Hooking Valley & To-
ledo and the Columbus. Shawnee & Hook.
ing have given notice of their intention tt
withdraw from the Ohio Coal Traffic as
sociation Dec. 81. This action is alleged
to be due to the secret rate cutting, in
which the two roads claim to have been
getting the worst OF it. 1t is believed in
railroad circles that the withdrawal will
seriously affect freight rates.

The Wear Of Coins.

Tho smooth raised edge running
about the face of modern coins and
inclosing the device as q frame incloses
a picture not only adds a great deal
to the beauty OF thepiece, but serves
q double utilitarian purpose, first to
protect the design from wear, and
second to afford q horizontal surface

cAlly one on top OF another without
danger Of toppling over. As soon an
the raised edge is worn from q coin
it looses it's clear beauty of design
and fast degenerates 20 mere

Rnin-Makfng Suit.


A novel sui. has been filed in the district
court at Lincoln, Neh., in which William B.
Swisher, the '.rainmaker Of Kansas" sues
]. Fl. McAdurtry for $500. Last summer dur
ing prolonged spell of dry weather McMur-
ing to himself from the effects Of the
drouth. Accordingly he made 9 contract
with Swisher to- produce an inch Of rain,
agreeing to pay him $500 for the same pro-
viding the rain came within q certain spec.
ified time. Swisher commenced his wash
boiler incantations and on the afternoon on
the day specified in the contract heavy
and then the sum came out brightly. It was
q singular fact that the area covered by the
rainfall was limited almost exclusively to
the city Of Lincoln. Several hours later an.
other storm arose and the rain fell all night.
This storm was general all over the state.
McMurtry refused to pay the $500 unless
Swisher would produce the proofs that the
rain was caused by his efforts. Hence
the suit.
