HE DECEIVED THE PEOPLE
And is in the Penitentiary for Year.

At Atlantic Iowa, on May 7, c. M.
Ailor, alias Scrip" Ailor, was convict
ed of deceiving the people by selling
worthless compound, which he
represented to be Hoods Sarsaparila,
and was sentenced by Judge Macy to
one year at hard labor in the Iowa
State Penitentiary. Ailor's methods
were those of travelling fakir. He
has been travelling through Missouri,
Nebraska and Iowa, making stands of
a day or more in each town, and
representing himself as an agent under
salary from c. l. Hood & Co., and
selling his concoction at one dollar or
fifty cents per bottle, giving with each
sale various other worthless articles.
Citizens of Griswold, Iowa, became
suspicious and ascertaining from a
druggist that Ailor's compound was
not Hoods Sarsaparilla, but merely
colored water had him arrested.
Three indictments we're found against
him, the jury convicted him after only
thirty minutes elaboration, and he
was sentenced as above. This incl
dent suggests the wisdom of purchas-
ing only of reputable dealers whom
you know. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
never sold by pedlers, and such offer.

He Was Put Off.

He may have been hayseed. He
looked it; but way down deep in his
eyes the second time you looked you
seemed to notice suspicion of real
sickness" that escaped you at first.
He held a ticket to Tecumseh
when he got on the train at Topeka,
and he gave it up promptly to the
conductor on demand.
When the conductor came through
the train after it had left Tecumsebs
he was surprised to see the same man
sitting complacently in the sam seat.
"1icket," said the conductor.
Haven't got any," said the man.
"Then you'll have to pay" said the
conductor.
"Can't do it," said the man.
Then I'll have to put you off,"
said the conductor
"What, right out here in the coun-
try ?" asked the man.
"Right out here in the country"
replied the conductor.
A good many of the other passen-
gers were interested at once and the
argument continued. The conductor
noticed-he said afterward- that the
man kept looking out OF the window
as he talked and did not seem to be
in hurry. OF course, the train was
running all the time.
The farmer finally went down into
his pocket and got out his purse. He
was not in hurry about it, and after
he had opened it seemed lost in
thought.
"Come," said the conductor, ct
can't fool with you all day."
Must pay or get off, eh ?" asked
the farmer.
{" said that" replied the man with
the punch. There was another mo-
ment's silence. The farmer took an
other look out of the window.
81 guess you can put me off," he
said.
The train was stopped and the con-
ductor went to the rear platform to
see that he got off and stayed off.
See that white house over there"
asked the son of toll.
The conductor could see it easily.
"Thats where l work." said the
farmer. "This is the nearest the rail-
road comes to it. l am much obliged
to you for letting me off here, l, was
afraid l wouldn't be able to keep you
interested till we got here. Have
cigar" and the granger jumped
lightly to the ground and was gone.
The train was two minutes behind
time before the conductor recovered
his breath.
"Well, I'll be =" he said, in an
humbled tone, and then he went in
and kicked the newsboy. - Topeka

THREE BOYS AND A GIRL.
After Giving Birth to Four Children the
Mother Died.

Brooklyn, May I2.-There will be
funeral from the home of S. Lowen-
stein, at No. 267 Washington Street,
on Tuesday, and although there are
three to be buried one coffin will con-
tain all the bodies. The woman died
at noon Saturday after having given
birth to four babies. She was little
more than 40 years old and previous
to this had been the mother of five
children, all of whom are now living,
the oldest being IS. They had all
been born singly.
DR.. Pulvermacher was called to the
household early Saturday and party
of Lowenstein's friends were also there
waiting for the announcement of the
happy event. 1t was about $50 A.
M. when the physician came from
Mrs. Lowensteln's room and said that
a boy had been born, but that the
mother was not doing we'll At his
request Dr. Henry and DR.. Nicholson
were called in consultation.
Before they arrived word came from
the room that there were twins in the
family and at II A. M. it was an
nounced that there were triplets. At
noon one of the physicians came from
the room and told Mr.. Lowenstein
that his wife was failing very fast. The
friends that had gathered to congratu-
late him now found that their mission
must be to comfort.
The final word came from the
mothers room at 1880. A fourth
child had been born, but the mother
herself was dead. The last child was
a girl and died in few minutes. The
third boy died in spite of the efforts
of the physicians. The first two boys
were doing very well to-day and the
physicians believe that they will live.
Each of the four little ones weighed
more than four pounds, their total
weight being eighteen and a half
pounds.

Florida oranges, which are said to
take the lead in that kind of fruit, are
greatly missed. The scarcity is due
to two cold snaps in Florida last
winter, the first one being in Decem-
ber, that frozc the oranges, and the
second in February, that destroyed
thousands of trees. Burrell S. Ives,
of this city, who has three orange
groves in Florida, says that the loss of
5000, 900 boxes of oranges on the
trees and the destruction of groves
entaled damages of $4,000, 900, of
which e,half is borne by growers
and the other by transportation COM
panies. He says it will be from three
to six years before the orange growing
industry of Florida is restored to its
normal condition, and he estimates
the aggregate loss in various ways, foi
the period of the recovery, as some
thing enormous.
