TheKabocorset that brings
a woman to perfect form if
she only laces it tight enough
for it never stretches or
breaks its "bones or rolls up
has soft eyelets that do not
cut the laces.
Soft eyelets are loops Of
corset lace instead of metal
eyelets.
If the Kabo corset fails in
a year in any part but the
steels-no way has yet been
invented to make unbreakable
steels-you get your money
back from the store where
you bought it.
You wear the Kabo corset
two or three weeks; and, IL
not satisfactory, take it back
and get your money again.

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable,
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescri
bed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutlonul treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney g.
Co., Toledo, O., is the only constitution
al cure on the market. 1t Is taken in
ternalIy in doses from 10 drops to n

tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case 1t fails to cure. Send for

In UNCLE SANS COURT.

Judge Burlington Presides for the First
Time-AffectinsS Scene Between Fathe r
and His Two Sons-Pecultar Pension
Fraud Case for To-Day.
The May term of the United States Dis
trict Court opened yesterday in the new
Government building. 1t was the first
term of court in this city over which Judge
Burlington presided. The large and elegant
courtroom has not yet been completed.
Only portion of the floor was carpeted
and in manner that made it appear as
though an art square had been thrown over
the middle of the floor. The jury box con-
sisted of dozen chairs arranged promiscu-
ously in one corner of the room, while the
bench was simply ordinary table behind
which Judge Burlington sat.
The first business transacted was the
swearing in of the grand jury, which was
followed by an adjournment until 2 o'clock,
when the grand jury returned true bills
against John NJ. Clark and William Palmer,
charged with obStructing navigation in the
Monongahela river by throwing gravel into
the channel; StalZenbach & Pfeil. same
charge; Phil. Sammen, sending obscene
matter through the mails: George Girling,
same; Chester Bowen, Ruben and George
SchiVer, breaking intoa postoff1ce at Stevens
Point, Pa
Much interest was taken in the first case
tried. 1t was that of Chester Bowen and
the SchriVer BOYS. The defendants had no
counsel and L. b. Dougherty, of Beaver
county, and II. II. Ewing, OF this city, were
appointed to defend them. The foreman OF
the jury, the first called in the new Govern
ment building, was Attorney Murray, of
this city. a number of witnesses were ex-
ammed, showing that the young men had
gone to the place of II. Z. Putnam a general
storekeeper in Stevens Point, on the night
of November %, 1884, and carried away
q lot OF goods valued at about Sl25 and ran
sacked the postoffice kept in the same build
ing. They stole lot of clothing, and some
they wore into the court room was identi-
fled by Mr.. Putnam as his property There
was an affecting scene between the father OF
the Schriver boys and his sons He was q
witness against them and after he testified
he left the stard, threw his arms around his
sons kissed them anu left the court room.
The jury was only out about 10 minutes
when they returned Il verdict OF guilty.
Another case was called, that of George
Girling, charged with sending obscene mat
ter through the mail, but his attorney, L. Ii.
Alcorn, filed a demurrer on the ground that
the matter complained of did not come
within the meaning of the act of Congress.
The Court took the papers and reserved a
decision until this morning.
\ case to be tried to-day is against L. V.
Van Horton, of Lackawanna county, charged
with forging pension papers. 1t is claimed
lie forced his mother and sister to do the
forging, he being unable to write. TWENTY
four names were thus obtained, and he was
about 10 collect eight claims when he was
arrested.

Cyclone and Tornado.

A cyclone, properly speaking, is 8 storm covering vast extent of country -soIe are one or two thousand miles in diameter-and having system of winds which really blow spirally round and gradually in toward the center of the storm, although. owing to the great ex- tent of the storm, the wind at any par ticular place seems to be blowing straight ahead.
 Near and around the center, and espe- cially ahead of it, for the whole storm advances generally toward the east or northeast, rain falls in greater or less quantities. At the center the air is ightest. or the pressure shown by the barometer is least. and that is the req son the winds are all drawn in that di- rection. The spiral motion arises from the effects of the rotation of the earth. Almost every storm that we have. ex- cept summer thunder showers, is cy- clonic storm.
 A tornado is fierce whirlwind whose path is generally only few rods wide, although it may travel for many miles, destroying everything in it's way. A black, funnel shaped cloud is always 8 feature of the tornado This funnel is formed by condensed v'por and clouds of dust and debris in the very core of the whirlwind, and wherever it passes nothing but the solid ground can with stand it.-Youth's Companion.

Novel Application of Water Power.


 A most interesting application of water power to electric lighting and heating purposes has been made at a shooting lodge in the west highlands of Scotland. A dam was built across a small mountain burn some 800 feet above the lodge. The water is led for some distance past the dam in an open drain to a point about $50 feet above turbine, to which it is conducted in closed pipe. The waterfall thus made is the highest that is used for electric lighting in the British isles. --
 The current is conveyed from the tur- bine house to the various buildings, the lodge about 200 yards distant, the stables, laundry and head stalker's cottage, some 400 yards away, by means of insulated conductors laid underground in tarred wood troughing and completely pro tected by melted bitumen run into the troughs. In all there are some 292 cleo trio lamps installed. A special feature of the installation is system of electric stoves, which are used for warming and keeping dry the cellars and various other pArts e{ tAs bsaldinSS. .--Nsw York Tsls-

A nadl.h Ten Feet Long.

With the people the houses, the teapots, the chickens and SO many things on so small scale in Japan, there is all the greater surprise when one finds anything there which has attained an unusual or gigantic size, The coarse white radish (dailSon), from six to ten feet in length, strikes one as vegetable joke in that land of Lillput The giant in one fairy story uses daikon for a club and the street peddlers lean their daikons up against the side of house as if they were whips or fishpoles. OnA might very naturally inquire the price of dailSon by the yard when he goss to market. --St. Nicholas.
