What Is Money

Weighed against that health It so Of
ten fails to buy? Dross indeed. While
we can none Of us claim u total ex-
emption from that greatest Of all ills
to which flesh is heir--ill health, we
may do much to lessen The chances of
mourning it, and this not alone by the
adoption of such sanitary measures as
arc to be found in daily exercise, regu-
lar hours, prudence in eating and
drinking, and wholesome diet, but
also by resorting to judicious prevent
i've medication when the system is
threatened by unhealthful influences.
For instance residents or sojourDers
in malarlous localities should use Hos
letters Stomach Bitters as q defense
against chills and fever, and persons
employ it as a safeguard against rheu-
matism, Travellers in the tropics find
1t invaluable also as a means Of arrest
ing liver complaint and constipation,
and counteracting the debihtatlng in
fluence of the system.

BIGAMIsT CAPTURED.
W. L. Grigsby, Charged With Biga'
my, Attempts Suicide.


w. L. Grigsby, the man for whom q
warrant was issued from Justice Ham
ilton's court yesterday, on an affidavit
Of wife No. 2, formerly Miss Onley
Clark, charging him with bigamy,
was arrested at his home
in Bright Star, Ark, by Constable Joe
Vinson, of this city, The arrest was
made by Constable Ymson at late
hour last evening. But owing to an
attempt at suicide, made by the accus-
ed some hours previous, he was not
able to bring his prisoner to Toxar-
kama until to-day. Mr.. Vinson relates
a most peculiar experience in making
the arrest On his arrival at Bright
Star he was met with report Of
Grigsby's death, from an overdose of
choloform, administered by his own
hand with smcida! intent. The appar-
ent authority Of the news was borne
out by the fact arrangements were al
ready being made to summon the
Coroner and jury of inquest to sit
upon the remains Of the supposed de-
ceased. Upon examination, however.
Mr.. Vinson found the report incor-
rect, and upon entering the house
where the would be suicide lay, found
him in a fair way to recover owing
to the prompt medical aid of DR., Nc
Casland, assisted by the devoted ef-
forts of Mrs. Hooper, the invalid's
mother-in-law, and other members of
the family. The grief and consterna.
ton OF the family upon hearing the
warrant of arrest read, disclosing the
charges against the accused and fol-
lowing, as it did, so close upon the at
tempt at self destruction, can better
be imagined than described Afler
guarding his prisoner all night Con-
stable Vinson departed with him for
this place at an early hour this morn
ing, arriving here some hours later
and turning him over to the prison
officials saw him safely confined in
jail. The accused is known to be q
desperate man when aroused and ut
terly devoid of fear. lie, it will be
remembered, is the same man
who so stubbornly held at bay
Constable Roberts and q large
posse Of armed assistants who attempt
ed his arrest about two years ago.
The crime Of which Grlgsby is ac-
cused, and which has brought upon
him SO much misery, placing him in
his present desperate condition, was
committed on Wednesday, the 10th Of
the present month, when he obtained
license from the county clerk Of this
county to wed and subsequently did
marry Miss Onley Clark, in spite Of
the fact that in the person Of Mrs.
Grigsby No. /, nee Miss Xula Cooper,
he had living wife to whom he was
welded at the home Of the brides
mother in Bright Star, about one year
ago. Both Of the unfortunate girls
whose lives have thus been wrecked
are yet in their teens, are ofgood fam
lilies and excellent reputation The
crime Of which the prisoner is accus-
ed, as it now appears justly so, is de-
tested by all pure minded people, the
more so as its cruel effects fall upon
the shoulders Of innocent and over
trusttul women. We sympathise with
the sufferings of all unfortunates, but
unless the accused In this instance can
clear himself Of the grave charges
resting against him, he is doubly cul-
pable.

was established on Sept. 90, 1888, and

Osgood, of Massachusetts. 1t may be
added that Massachusetts has partici-

posts, and enjoyed century ago the po-

belong to Ohio. The post Of postmaster
general has usually been filled from the

The English and French Grafton.

With us hearing orations is a serious,
dreary business; to the Frenchman it is
an artistic pleasure and a holiday func-
ton, even though it be at the graveside
or in the throes of a revolution. Fine
language. whether in speech or~book,
he welcomes as an aesthetic luxury and
emotional stimulant, the fineness being
of course proportioned to his degree of
cultivation, for academicians have been
found to OWL that some phrases, highly
effective in their day, are only vulgar
fustian. He views the eloquence of the
rostrum much as we do that of the stage
as professional art, whereof he is a
sharp and enthusiastic critic. Truth,
cold veracity, naked fact, prosaic reason
are not what he seeks, but inspiring
themes clothed in grand words.-London

Iwon big bet that day, and bad pro
ceeded with number Of my friends to
the largest cafe in town. where had
invited them to assist in the destruction
Of my newly born roll after the play.
Well. we arrived at the restaurant in
good FORM In the party were three la
dies and three gentlemen. just making
up nice table. The proprietor saw us
coming. and meeting US at the door, led
the way to the table he had prepared for
us as agreed earlier in the DAY. OF
course this table was pretty well deco
rated and the people about the cafe,
which was crowded, were anxious to
know who was. as I seemed to be the
leader.
What, that fellar therey' inquired the
proprietor, after an inquiry had been ad-
dressed to him. 'Oh, he's an old friend
Of mine; ulster 60 ter school tergether.
But he's the president Of the Union

not help herring it, and the boys offered
toast to their friend the president,

recalled our going to school together.
This rather touched him for a moment,

he announced it n case Of mistaken iden-

looked with vengeance.
