1t has been truly said that half the world
does not know how the other half lives.
Comparatively few of US have perfect
health, owing to the impure condition OF
our blood. But we rub along from day to
day, with scarcely thought, unless forced
to our attention, of the thousands all about
rs VINO are suffering from scrofula, salt
rheum and other serious blood disorders,
aud whose agonies can only be imagined.
The marked success of Hoods Sarsaparilla
for these troubles, as shown in cur adver-
Using columns frequently, certainly seems
to Justify urging the use Of this excellent
medicine by ali who know that their blood
is disordered. Every claim in behalf OF
Hoods Ssrsaparilla Is fully backed up oy
what the medicine has done aud is still do
ing. aud when its proprietors urge its
merits and its use UPON all who suffer from
impure blood, in great or small degrees,
they certainly mean 10 include you.

CHICAGO. February 1S.-Atter read
ing The dispatches from New York about
the coming COrbett-Mitchell prize light,
John L. sullivan said:
II think Mitchell is In earnest this

am surprised at the conditions named.
BY what right does he require Mitchell

secured a match with me Tor the
championship and his first deposit was
81 600. My friends told me | was fool

that Corbett would put up his forfeit, go
on the road, make lot OF money and
then bolt. | did not believe 1t, how
ever. and was willing 20 think that he
was in earnest. Corbett shonla give
Mitchell the same.
"As TO which should win In the COM
ing fight, l prefer not to say. fought
both men and have pretty fair idea
OF their ability, but prefer to express 10
positive opinion.
"Corbett has the advantage In height
and reach, but is no cleverer than
Mitchell, and the latter is the stitfest
puncher. Many seem to think that be-
cause Cerbett punched me out that ne
is a hard hitter. Such is not the ease,
however. In the last round OF our light,
after ny arms had fallen helpless at my
side, it took at least ten punches from
him to knock me down and out.
Mitchell can do better than that,
and those who are figuring
on it being cinch for

hope it is, because as between an Ameri-
can and foreigner my sympathy OF
course will be with the former.
II received the following telegram
from the stakeholder in New York:

MALICIOUS SANDER.

The Illtoligencer'S groundless attack
upon the Gas Board has reached the
silly stage. Continuing its drivel
about an investigation. it says: why
resent a proper demsnd?" viii the IN
tellgcncer point out who it is that has
resented a proper demand? VIII it also
give plans and specifications of this
"demand?"
What matter" does it mean when it
says:
The InteVigenc-r is not disposed to tribe
with a matter of such serious Importance
% the citizens of Wheeling. Itrepeats what
10 has before said. namely, that there may
be more that the people Of Wheeling should
know; and this is why II would De well 10
give the Gas Board q thorough overhaul
ing. II the Gas Board is all right, what IS
the objection 70 giving the public convlnc-
ing proof Of that important fact!'
If the REGISTER continues its resenttul
course the people will arrive at the conclu-
sion that 10 is afraid for them to investigate
the conduct of their own institutions. II
there is nothing wrong no honest man
ought TO object TO an investigation.
No honest man does object to al in
vestigation. All anybody asks is that
the charges be brought. The iatelitgen-
Ger knows there can be no Investigation
where there are no charges.
The simple truth Of the matter is
that, having been caught in q de-
Hberate falSehOod, in connecting the
board with the Florsheim case the IN
tslljgencer is trying to crawl out Of the
foul hole the exposure Of its groundless
SANDERS have put it into, by thus bark
ing at the moon.
II the IntelliGencer honestly desires an
investigation, or if it knows OF any
thing to investigate it is perfectly aware
that one can be had by simply pre-
Senting charges. Until il shows some
shadow Of ground for them it should in
common justice and decency stop its
malicious insinuations. In mercy TO it.
self it ought TO do so. Its present atti-
tude is ridiculous and It's wanton and
pointless ISLANDERS an sfTrOnt to the intel
ligence Of the people.

A MANAGES AWFUL DEED.
She Enticed Another Woman Into Her
Room and Almost Killed Her

KINGSTON, n. Y, February IT,
Tuesday morning Mrs. James Kelly,
living at Kingston Point, was sent for
by Mrs Henry, who lives two doors be-
low, l. g her she was dying. Mrs.
Kelly sent one son after a priest and an
other for doctor. No sooner had the
boys gone than Mrs. Henry seized Mrs.
Kelly by the hair and jumping from the
bed threw her on the floor. She then
jumped on her victim, breaking three
of her ribs, and made desperate at
tempts TO pluck out the eyes OF the
PROSTATE woman, tearing one loose from
it's socket, and tearing chunks Of flesh
from her victims face. The doctor ar
irving, the maniac desisted, the doctor
ordering her TO bed and then securing
help. Mrs Kelly was taken home,
where she now lies in dying condition.
Mrs Henry has had grudge against
her victim for some time, and was fire.
Quently heard to curse her, and in her
insanity she cunningly concocted the
story that she was dying.
