The following testimonial from a
man so widely known and beloved rs
Rev. r. r. Stauffer, pastor of the
Faith Reform church of Lincoln, Neb.,
is a most positive proof of the won
derfuI medical power OF Paine's celery
compound and its great superiority
over ordinary sarsaparillas, tonics and
ne~rvines.
'For nearly a year past / have felt
myself running down. My nervous
system gradually growing worse;
had slight symptoms of rheumatism,
and was troubled a good deal at times
with insomnia. / felt that something
must be done, and concluded to use
Paine's celery compound. After the
first few days use | began to improve,
and | am very much better now. In
deed, l feel like myself once more.
All symptoms of rheumatism are dis
appearing. l can sleep well. my ner-
vous system is rapidly impro wing, and
l believe a radical cure is being af-
fected. Paine's celery compound is a
splendid remedy, and I can eonscien-
tiously commend it to the suffering in
like cases. / further believe that il
this medicine were taken in time il
would ave many heavy Doctors bills.
l have never used a remedy of any
kind that met its promise so well and
readily"

THERE are 100000 bicyclers in Penn

wrought up over the decision of the
State Supreme Court requiring them
to pay tolls for their harmless vehicles
on the public roads. Even in Penn
sylvania, which is a state still too much
bound by ancient tradition, such a
piece of antiquity as that decision is
not to be tolerated. If the law is as

Table Decoration,

The fashion of having a single pre-. dominating color at tea, dinner or luncheon still finds many followers, al
 though much has been said of the mo- notonous effects that have been produced in this way and the extremes to which the fad has often been carried. Perfect
 ly harmless coloring matter Is obtain able for producing delicate shades of pink, green, lavender etc., in such popular desserts as Bavarian cream, jel- lies and blanomanges, and it is possible with little ingenuity to select an en- tire menu that will nicely carry out the chosen scheme of coloring. which will also include the table decorations, and, if liked, the dishes and mantel ornaments. But, as The Delineator very timely re- marks, while certain tints are unmistak- ably dainty, one may be always sure of tasteful table if white is selected, as this does not give the impression of ''fussiness, which oolors are likely to

THE JURY FIXED.
Conclusive Evidence That Friends of Il

Conclusive Evidence That Friends of tho
 Taylors Did Some Bribing.
 CARRoLLToN, Mo, April 5-Tho jury in the Taylor case sent for Judgo Rucker, and tho foreman, William Freeman, noA titicd him that tho jury could not agree, The judge ordered the sheriff to return the jury to its room and lock it up. Prose- cutting Attorney Miller of Carroll county has been Investigating the charges of jury bribing and states that thCrC is not tho slightest doubt but that two or more of the jurymen have been brihcd either to secure an acquttal or hang the jury.
 Sidney Miller, prosecuting attorney of Carroll county, has received q statement from Charles Dickinson, who was on the panel from which tho jury was chosen, which is very damaging to tho dofCnsc Dickinson swcars that on tho Monday night before the trial began Jacob ;. Will Hams, cashier of the Bank of Tina, went to him at his farmhouse and said that if in caso ho was selected for a juror, he would stand out for an ucuuittal thCrc would bU big money in it for him, and if ho would sUcrCcd in hanging tho jury there would bo good money in it. Will Hams said that ho would Scu thae the money paid.
 The next day Dickinson says Inc Was ap- preached hy Rirh smith. a hruthCr-in law of Barney Hudson, who is now on the jury, and smith madu the Snmr prupusi- tinn that had Teen made by Williams. Dickinson i., ono uf tho most reputable men in the county.
 There k gr,at indignation in Carroll county that a jury could bc found huro to do anything but convict the Taylors, as no ono has the slightest doubt of their guilt, and tho only reason now expressed to account for hung jury is that sOme member of it has been bribcd.
 Marshal Wilson of Browning says that therc is the greatest indignation in Tina and Sullivan counties over tho manner in which tho jury is holding out. Whom ask ed if ho approhcnded danger from mob vi olence in case the jury should fail to agree, he laughed and said, "Wcll, you cannot tell what will happen.
 Bill says if he is acquitted he will re- turn to Browning. Do you think he would?" was asked.
 Well, if ho did ho would last just as long as it would take us to find n ropo to hang him.
