Our Country Cousin in Town.

This morning a tall individual, with a clean-shaved face and long, sandy col0red hair, wearing q tall hat, heavy boots, an old linen duster and pair of pant six inches too short for him, and carried in one hand an old umbrella, while over his shoulder, held by q hickory stick, swung a carpet sack that must have been In use for at least four generations, created great amusement upon the streets. His very appearance create an outburst of laughter that one could not repress, for he represented the typical New England country man to life, and his droll yet perfect ly natural actions, were so comical that if you did not see him you should, by all means, go to the opera house this evening and do so, for he was Frank Jones, with Our Coun- try Cousin" combinations.
 Judge Elliott conducted him into the Grand Jury room this morning while that body was in session and MT. Jones fairly took the breath away from several members by his droll ways and peculiar manner of expressing himself. Mr. Knox asked him when thecurtain would beraised and he replied" When yew and all the rest of the folks git there, I guess" The nasal twang brought forth Q burst of laughter. He is great. Go and see his play tonight.

HER CHILDREN RESTORED.
An Interesting Case Which Came Before
 Chancellor Martin Yesterday.

An interesting case of Isabel Daniels vs. Key. D. w. Comstock, agent of the Children's Home Soci- esy, of Arkansas, was disposed of by Chancellor Martin yesterday. Mrs. Daniels sought possession of her two little boys aged respectively ' and B years, claiming they were taken from her without her consent.
 In his answer, Rev. Mr. Comstoek sets forth the benevolent purposes of the society represented by him; the finding of homes for the indi- gent and unprotected children. He alleges that on March 6 Mrs. Daniels, finding that she could not support the children, requested him to take charge of and find suitable homes for them where they would be properly trained, educated and cared for. He further claims that Mrs. Daniels executed two written papers in which she surrenders to the society her two boys, authorizing it to keep them until it could find a suit able home for then, and authorizing the society also to place them in such home and to take and enter into suitable terms of agreement with the person taking the children, granting to the person so receiving them the same parental control and authority that she had
 Further on in the answer of the Society agent, it is stated that pos. session of the children was accord ingly given to Mrs. G. B. B.Culpepper of Pine Bluff, who agreed to find 3 suitable home for them Rev. Mir Comstock concludes by saying that he submits to the court as to what course shall be properly pursued in regard to the children, he having nc other interest in tie matter than that of rescuing the children from a life of vice and indigenee and plae- ing them in the best possible posi- tion to secure them homes and a proper education.
 Chancellor Martin, after hearing both sides of the case, issued an or der directing Rev MT. Comstock to immediately turn the children over to their mother, Mrs. Daniels.
 The testimony showed that Mrs Daniels, after her children had been taken in charge by the Society, ap- pealed to Rev. Mr. Comstock to know where they were and was told that she would be allowed to hear from them every few days, Mrs Daniels testified that sEe had home and was able to take care of the children.

Blood is the strength of the body.

Blood is the strength of the body.
1t makes flesh and muscle. Il gets nour-
ishment from the stomach and bowels, and
distributes it where needed.
1t drains away all the worn out matter.
Every movement we make, wears out some
of our tissue or flesh. This worn-out matter
is carried away by the blood
The blood which contains it is poisonous.
because the dead tissue is poisonous.
So it goes to the kidneys to be purified
The kidneys are simply blood filters.
They filter out the bad matter from the
blood and expel it from the body. They
leave the good matter in.
The purified blood goes on and builds up
the blood.
But there comes time when the kidneys
don't do their duty -
Water filters need cleaning now and then.
So do blood filters.
When your kidneys are overworked thew
fall sick. When they are sick, they can't
| filter your blood.
When your blood is not prue, there is no
knowing what disease you may suffer from
Unflltered blood makes Sores, Pimples,
BlOtches, causes Headache, Dizziness, Neur-
algia, Loss of Ambition, Tiredness i'm the
Bones and Muscles, Pains in the Joints and
Muscles, Pale Sickly Complexion, Depression
of Spirits, and such well known diseases as
rheumatism, Gout, Anaemia, Chlorosis or

your blood.
The kidneys will do it if you will cure

ing the stomach can purify the blood.
1t can't. --,-

Asparagus is the only plant which has ju st
the right medicinal action on the kidneys, to

ARREsTED FoR PERluRY.



NEW YORK, Oct. ia scheme by which
the city was defrauded, it is alleged, of
nearly $4,000 was brought to light yester-
day by the arrest in Chicago of Horace j.
Hoffman, president of the Hoffman Office
File company, of Milwaukee. The charge
against him is perjury, preferred by Con
troller Fitch. The corporation of which
Hoffman is president was one of the bid
ders to furnish metallic fixtures for the
new criminal court building Hoffman
swore that no other company or person
was interested with him in the bidding
The other bidders were the Fenton Me
tallic File company, of Pittsburg, and the
Office Speciality company, of Philadelphia.
The formers bid of $40, 600 was the lowest,
and was accepted The other two bids ex-
ceeded this by about $1,000. Each made
the same statement in their affidavits.
Two weeks ago an interview published
in Pittsburg newspaper with H. M. Booz,
president of the Metallic File company, Of
Philadelphia, was sent to Comptroller
Fitch. The interview made Mr.. Booz say
he knew that the contract for furnishing
the criminal court house with metallic
fixtures had been obtained by the Hoffman
company through fraud. Mr.. Booz re-
peated his charges to the comptroller, say
ing that he had learned from Mr.. Hoffman
himself that the Fenton and the Office
Speciality companies entered into an agree
ment not to bid under SIS, 900 and the one
that got the contract should divide up the
profits.

UTILIZING cuLM BANKS.

For many years scientists, philosophers
and inventors have been making experiments
as to how the culm banks may be adyan-
tageousy utilized for commercial and in
dustrial purposes. Thomas A. Edison, the
Wizard Of Memo Park, is at present giving
the matter his attention, and in the due
course of time the unsightly culm banks will
suddenly disappear.
In the near future a meeting will be held
which is to consider a gigantic scheme,
second only to the harnessing of Niagara or

in fact, nothing less than the conversion OF
the otherwise useless culm hanks in the coal
region into electricity in the ordinary way
and transmitting it in the shape of alternat
ing currents to Philadelphia, which through
the medium of existing companies would be
transferred and distributed as light, heat and
mower throughout that city
Mr. Edison has not yet succeeded in pro-

ducing electricity direct from coal without
the use of fire, steam and electric machinery
He has been at work upon this problem for
years, and is still pursuing his investigations.
1t is well known by scientists that but a
small fraction of the power existing in coal is
obtained from it by burning it under a boiler,
the losses in the conversion first in the
furnace, then in condensation in steam pipes,
then in the engine and finally in the dynamo
and distributing lines, could all be avoided if
there could be some method of converting the
coal directly into electricity the same as is
done with chemicals in galvanic battery.
Mr. Edison thinks success may yet be
achieved in this direction 1t would be
difficult to estimate the value of such dis
