TRUE, EVERY WORD.

A Story Which Is Without an Equal in

The Exact Facts Told Exactly as They
 Occurred

OcCureQ.
 LEBANON, N. H. As your correspon- dent communicate the following re- markable story exactly as it came from the lady's own lips. Everybody in Le- banon, N. H., knows Mrs s. ;R. Berry pected resident here. The story is one which particularly interests everyone at this season.
 "I was in a very bad way; such trem- bling in my arms and limbs, and my heart was just frightful, and those ter rible sweeping chills and trembling in my Ii nbs made me expect shock or to lose the use of them completely.
 "I could not sleep nights because my heart would palpitate and the chills or shaking would follow, and I could do but very little of anything.
 "I could not sit up all day, but had to lie down a great deal, and my nerves were very weak and of no use. Why, l could not bear any noise.
 "There was a terrible pain in my head, with burning both sides of the head, and was almost a complete wreck of my former self.
 "No one had any hopes of my being better. My doctor ordered a change of everything, but was not equal to mov- ing anywhere, indeed I could not walk any tO Spcdh OAS O1ly uAoS oONNV AAOhA one room to another.
 And such dull, heavy feelings, as if I was about to meet some awful doom. All the time was depressed in mind and spirits and could not cheer up.
 "My liver was swollen so I could not rest unless hot applications were used on my side, and my kidneys were very bad.
 ''In my dispair, I began the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve reme- dy, and will say that this wonderful medicine is the greatest blessing that ever came into a family.

INDIANS QUIET.
The Police Now on the Ground Only Tw
 of the Crows Killed

LAUREL, Mont, March 11.-Reports just received from Wilsey indicate that the re- ports sent out yesterday concerning the Caow Indian troubles were grossly exag- gSrated. So far two Indians have been killed and both men who did the killing have given themselves up to the authori- ties at Billings.
 The trouble is on the reservation TO- gently ceded by the Crows and is con- fined to a few Indians. A few settlers have holdings there and the Indians have driven off their stock.
 The county authorities and Indian police will take prompt action and it is believed will prevent further trouble. No call has been made on the Governor for troops and this would have been done were the situation as bad as first reported.

with his exasperating laugh. "For my

an involuntary smile; though why he

"a man can't afford to run his credit
down through sheer carelessness. You'd
better set to work to redeem yours;

With this disinterested advice and
another characteristic laugh, Wee

and nervous, with sharp gray eyes,
fierce black mustache, saucy nose and

MAN PREDoMlNATES.
In Uncle snm's Domain There Are More
Males Than Females.

In Uncle Sans Domain There Are More
DInlos Than Females.
The population OF this country Is
pretty we'll divided between the two
sexes, although according to bulletin
Just issued from the census Office there
are about 1900, 900 more males than fe-
males In the 62,50o, 900 Of population.
In the New England and middle states
there are $4,000 more females than
males. In the south middle section,
including the district, the females out
number the males by some 10000.
While in the northern central section
or the country as far west as Nebraska,
the males are In the majority by over
100000. In the south central portion
this excess reaches only about 1000.
In the western section Of the country
the predominance of the males is shown
by majority of over 100000, says an
exchange.
In the District Of Columbia the males
number only 100, ,6s4, while the females
number 12o,8Os; b1.21 per cent. Of the
total population returned in 1890 are
males and 1879 per cent are females.
In 1880 the males represented 5o.ss per
cent, and the females 1919 per cent
The percentages Of males and females
In 1870 were about the same as those
just stated for 1880, or $3.50 per cent.
for males and 4o.44 per cent for fe-
males, while In 1850 they were very
similar TO those given for 1900, or 51.1e
per cent. for males and 4s.s4 per cent
for females. The excess Of males over
females In 1890 Is 1,518,5lo as against an
excess In 1880 Of ss1,s57. In 1870 the
males only exceeded the females by 42s,-
769, whereas In 1860 there were 727,0S7
more males than females. In 1850 the
males exceeded the females by 4s3,444.
The very large excess Of males In 1890
Is readily accounted for by the greatly
increased number Of immigrants who
have come to this country since 1880,
over three-Afths Of the entire number OF
immigrants being males.
