AN Err UPTON,
no matter how Slight warns you, and
every one who sees it, that your
blood isn't pure. If you're wise,
you'll heed the warning. You'll
look about for a remedy.
And this is what you'll find !:
plenty of medicines advertised to
purify the blood, but just one that's
gudyaaateed-and that is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
It's a medicine that does what is
promised for it-that's the reason.
1t rouses every organ into healthy
action, purifies and enriches the
blood, and through it cleanses and
renews the entire system. All
Blood, Skin and Scalp Diseases, from
a common eruption to the worst
Scrofula are cured by it. For Tet-
ter, Salt-rheum, Eczema, Erysipelas,
Boils, Carbuncles, Enlarged Glands,
Tumors, and Swellings, it's an I'M
equaled remedy.
If it doesn't benefit or cure, in
every case, you have your money
back. You pay only for the good
you get.

the judge.
"Well, all wanter say is, hopes as

TOO MANY sPARROWs.
The English Bird Is Not Even Favorite In
His Own Home.


The English Bird Is Not Even a Favorite In
His Own Home.
1t appears that the detested English
sparrow is by no means general favor
tie in his own home across the water,
where his habits have been more care.
fully noted.
In the course of his paper on "Wild
Birds, Useful and Injurious in the
Royal Agricultural society's journal,
Mr.. @. f. Archibald says: "The sparrow
has received an OVERLOOKING measure of
abuse from farmers and gardeners, and,
notwithstanding all that has been urged
in its favor by enthusiastio advocates,
there can be little doubt that it deserves
a large share of the vituperation be-
slowed upon it. The keynote to the spar
rows character is to be found in the
delusion under which it labors that
corn growing is carried on for it's es-
pecial benefit. Grain is undoubtedly the
mainstay of the sparrow This it OBJ
tains in the fields at seedtime, when
sprouting, in the unripe, milky condi-
ton, and when fully matured. At this
last named period a quantity Of grain is
wasted by being shaken out on the
ground by the birds, in addition to the
amount actually consumed. At this
time, too, numbers Of sparrows which
live for the greater part Of the year in
towns are tempted to visit the field,
their grimy appearance proclaiming
their usual haunts.
"In gardens the sparrow finds full
scope for its destructive propensities in
devouring peas, of which it is very fond,
as we'll as a few gooseberries and cher
ries. In the most mischievous way, too,
it pulls to pieces the flowers Of the
crocus, dahlia, primrose, polyanthus,
hepatica, heartsease, wistaria the shoots
Of pinks and carnations, the pods of the
laburnum and the blossom of fruit
trees. 1t also does considerable damage
to beds of young radishes and lettuces,
besides 1evying toll on the grass seeds
sown on lawns. On the other hand, it
must be freely admitted that the SPAR
row does great deal of good.
Among the pests destroyed by the
sparrows are wireworms, daddy long
legs, weevils from peas and beans,
aphides, caterpillars of various kinds,
housefiies, blue beetles, black beetles
and white butterflies. In some districts
choviss, otherwise known as Maybugs,
occasionally do immense damage, and
at such times sparTows have been seen
with their mouths crammed full of
them. The quality of weed seeds which
the sparrow eats must also be placed to
its credit for in this way is helps to
suppress such Objectionable plants as
charlock, corn bind weed, goosefoot,
knotgrass, butteroup, dandelion, chick
weed and dook.''

Where is Rose ?

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3.-Rosa Rock,
II years old, is reported missing
from her home, at 1862 South
Broadway, by her father. Rosa
figured in a small sized sensation
some time since, as the prosecut.
ing witness in an attempted GRIM
inal assault case. On the night of
Septem Der II she went to Concor-
dia Park to attend Sons OF Vet
erans' picnic, and while there met
Leo Weber. He invited her to go
buggy riding, and he drove to For
rest Park, where, she claims, he
tried to assault her, and, falling,
put her out Of the buggy, forcing
her to walk home. The following
day Rosa swore out a warrant
against Weber.
Tuesday night her father re-
ported to Detectives Connors and
Shredder that Rosa went to work
in the morning as usual at the
Woodward Printing company, but
failed to return home at night.
Rock said he had learned that fire.
quent threats had been made by
Weber's friends that they would
get the girl out of the way, so she
could not appear as a witness, and
feared that they had succeeded in
enticing her away. The case
against Weber was called in the
Court OF Criminal Correction
and continued on account of
the absence of Rosa until No
vember IL. The detectives are try
ing to locate Rosa.

Of railroad men, bound for Calves
ton, Tex, is tied up on the Levee
in this city at the foot Of O'Fallon
street, and will remain here until
next spring, when she will be
taken back to Chicago. The party
on board consisted of G.. B.Sargent,
a conductor running into st. Louis
over the Chicago, Pittsburg and st.
Louis railroad his son, j. G. Sar-
gent, who is superintendent Of the
air department of the Chicago and
Western, and two younger broth
ers Alfred Fuller Of the G. B. & O.,
and John Mcfarland. They all
left for their homes last night,
having got enough of two weeks
trip which was originally intended
to last all the winter. The Glover
Leaf struck snag up the river
about 10 miles yesterday and was
rendered unseaworthy.
G.. B. Sargent, who was at the
head Of the party, said last night
that up on the Illinois river a few
miles south of Alton, there were
four steam launches, all bound for
New Orleans, that were stuck hard
and fast on the shoals, and that

proceeded down the Illinois river.
The party on board consists OF
wealthy young Chicago lumber
year to enjoy an outing.
The Glover Leaf passed them
yesterday morning. Each Of the
vessels draws over four feet Of
water, and Mr.. Sargent declares
that in the neighborhood Of Alton
there is not enough water to float
an ordinary yawl. There are
about 80 persons in the party and
they were sticking close to their
boats and were making desperate
effort to have them pulled over
the sand bars. The yachts were ell
egantly equipped and the party
had succeeded in bagging lot Of
ducks and other game before meet
ing with their misfortune. If they
should be unsuccessful in rescuing
their yachts they will go to New
Orleans by rail.
Thomas J. Hitchcock, a lumber
dealer of Chicago, is at the head Of
the party. When the Glover Leaf
left them they were being assisted
by a tug that had just arrived
from Alton.
AS the Clover Leaf was pulling
out from the Chain of Rocks yes
terday morning it passed a floating
barge commanded by Seventh Day
Adventists. AS the yacht glided
along by the big barge two boys
belonging to the Adventists lost
their balance and fell in the river.
Superintendent Sargent is an ex-
pert swimmer and rescued them.
