Taken.
Mrs. Charlton Edholm, the ''purity
evangelist" OF Chicago attended the regGa
inr meeting of the Ministerial Union in
First Presbyterian Church last Monday
and gave the clergy some cold, hard facts
which she said she had cleaned from
tour among the haunts of itl-repute in this
city. She said she had found that some
OF the frequenters were little girls. and She
called upon the union to put a stop to
traffic of this nature. She said that Ill
many cases the saloon was the cause Of TIE
existing state of affairs which she hal
found during her tour of Investigation
and was amazed that the places were 81,
lowed to remain unmoiested.

trouble began TO brew. Many of the
women were intoxicated and when the
White girl began throwing beer glasses at
the heads Of her rivals din and confusion,
bordering on riot, followed.
When Mills saw Hannah and her friends
quarreling he endeavored to separate them
BUT Collins interlered aud told Mills to let
the mill go on. Then % war of words
ensued between Mills and Collins, until u
brother of the latter came upon the scene
whereupon the dancers separated in gangs
and for time the confusion was so great
that friends could not be distinguished
from foes. The crowd surged Out of the
hall OH the sidewalk Mills saw Collins 60

going to strike him. whipped out knife
and slashed him across the face inilcting
frightful wound. When the blood began
to flow the crowd rushed in upon the belli-

several OF the cVlored people captured
Mills, and handed him over to an officer.
Judge Ball fined Mills $50 and costs aud

And They Tell Wonderful, Truthful
story--A Plain Statement OF a Plain
Case.
The proprietors of Hoods Sarsaparilla
have never made u claim concerning this
great medicine when was not backed up
by absolute and indisputable proof. They
claim that the laboratory in which Hoods
Sarsaparllla Is prepared is the largest
building in the world devoted to the pro-
prietary medicine business. Is this state
ment trueP Look at the facts. In Lowell
Massachusetts, situated within few feet
OF the tracks of the great Boston and
Maine railroad system, in plain view OF
thousands OF travellers, stands brick
building hive stories high, Sixty feet wide
and four hundred feet long and this entire
building is devoted to the business of
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Has any ono ever
expressed doubt as to the reality of this
great laboratory, or has any one who has
been in Lowell ever Contradicleu a single
statement that has ever been nude con-
corning it, Has any traveller ever seen,
| anywhere upon the face of the earth, the
equal OF Hoods Sirsaparilla Laboratory
| No, 1t cannot be found. Then what does
this fact mean? Simply that the business
which has been built up by the demand
for Hoods sarsaplrilla is OF immense
| proportions. ,t
The proprietors OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
| claim that II has the largest sales In the
world The truth of this statement may
| be verified by any person who will make
fair inquiry of wholesale druggists all over
| the country.
Again the proprietors of Hoods Sarsa-
| parilla claim that Hoods Sarsapari!la
cures. Upon the truth of this claim de.
| ponds the reason for the existence of
the mammoth laboratory and the reason
| for the immense and ever increasing sales.
| Once more let us examine the facts.
| Any thoughtful person who has given at
tention to published testimonials must be
convinced of the superiority of those pub
| lishcd in behalf of Hoods Sarsapariila.
They are from living people, who tell in
their own words us nearly as possible what
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for them.
Based upon solid truth, freely given in
earnest gratitude, published without the
embellishments of professional writer's,
these testimonials prove beyond u question
that when all other prescriptions and mod
icines fail, Hoods Sarsaparilla cures.
Another point. The cures of Hoods Sar.
saparilla are not in distant States or coun-
tries, or among people of whom we never
hear except in the newspapers, but they
are right here in our midst and often
