Is at hand. This fact means much to
the honest housewife. It means
many hours Of toll and that large
supplies of strength will be demanded.
And yet this is time when the appe-
tite is poor and women are likely to
be nervous, s!eepless, weak and tired,
because the blood is impure.
Let the impurities be driven out and
the blood enriched and invigorated and
made to flow in a life-giving current
to every part of the body. Then
there will be health, strength and
A Good Appetite.
The only true blood purifier promi-
nently before the people today is
Hoods Sarsaparilla; and it is the
most prominent because it is the best.
Merit will win, and merit has not only
placed Hoods Sarsaparilla at the head
of all medicines, but has practically
given it, as blood purifier, posses
sion of the whole field.

ssResurrecting" . woman's Body.
VosBURG, April 27.-There has been IN
almost unprecedented dissertation by ne
grocs Of the grave Of a woman near this
place, who was buried two years ago.
Several weeks since it was noticed that
the grave had been disturbed, and the body
in n remarkable state of preservation ex-
posed. 1t was supposed at the time that
the work was that Of parties searching
for hidden treasures, but later develop
ments led to the arrest OF Monroe Smith,
George Grayson and Cicero Ullmer.
1t seems that these negroes disinterred
the body for the purpose of procuring
what is known among the ignorant and
superstitious of their race as n ''conjure''
bone, the fourth rib on the left side of the
body, from which to man ufacture dice, to
be used in their dice games, the negroes
believing that dice thus made will bring
them unfailing luck. The negroes named
have al been arrested. and will be ar
raigned before the court at Pau!dinS.

CHICAGO, April 27.-Mrs Lillian Brewer
Stiles, defendant in the famous divorce
case in which her husband named Her
bert Crane. the wealthy manufacturer of
this city, as correspondent, made a bold
but unsuccessful attempt to abduct her
young daughter from the place where the
child was placed by the father. After the
conclusion of the suit the little child was
left with Mrs. Stiles ut St. Charles, Ills
From that place she was taken by her
father, who placed her in st. Xavier's

cOmpanied by John Feeney, said to be a
detective, visited the school and attempt
ed to take her daughter from the place.
Sister Agatha, of the school, tried to take
the little girl from Mrs. Stiles, and a
desperate struggle ensued between the
two women.
Feeney came to the aid of Mrs. Stiles
and waved a revolver, threatening to
shoot anybody who intcrfered with him or
Mrs. Stiles. The sister refused to give up
the girl, however, and Fceney, seeing that
help was coming to the aid IF the sister,
hurried out of the building. The matter
was finally compromised, Mrs. Stiles
agreeing to leave the girl in the school If
she would be allowed TO sec her once q

Several fine animals were knocked down at low figures to gentle men who are closely connected by busi ness relations with the promoters of the sale. Some of these bought the horses for their own use and specula- ton but the general impression was that they were bid in. Among the others who invested in the horses were J. M.

SWEPT AND GARNISHED.
The Invasion of the Court
 House Today.
A Rough Sketch of It's Appearance
 Assistants Are In.

Janitor John Troops has swept and garnished the court house for it's new occupants who will begin to move in te- day. Things have been made as spick and span as possible. Nothing will be exactly new but the officers and their assistants. The only department in which there will be notable change of personel this morning is the sheriff's office. Last night the accounts were all made up and the present occupants were ready to be succeeded without moment of grace. Those who go around after breakfast will find Sheriff Orme instead of Sheriff Murphy. At the desk lately occupied by Undersheriff Widmer will be seated under Sheriff H. c. Orme and the places which have so long known Deputies Prothero and Davenport will be filled by Deputies Henry George and James Gibson. Tomorrow additional changes will be noted. chiefly in the recorders office. Recorder Sears will be there in person and at the desks which have become familiar by their contiguity to the we'll known faces of H. c. Meador and J. T. Boyd, Messrs. Sears and E. W. SherI- dan will be as busily engaged as if they had merely taken holiday vacation. The only immediate change in the supervisors room will be the substitu- tion of Capt. George for E. B. Kirkland. Before there can be any other change there must be some balloting for g clerk. Harry St. Claire at present will hold down the assessors office alone until the eeason arrives for making assesF- ments.
 The district attorneys office is not ih the court house room but those who have business with that official will call upon Jerry Millay instead of M. H. | Williams.
 Conspicuous by his not being there will be Dr. Rosson but the equally fa- miliar face and form of D. l.. Murray will loom dp from behind the counter in the treasurer's office. His assistant i will probably be z. o. Brown, who hes been acting in that capacity for several months.
 l The noss merked change Ii and about the building will De observed in the office of the probate judge and county school su perinsendent. The ah sence of Mai. Jordan will of course be expected ss much matter of course as the presence of his successor Judge Grouse but on opening the door there will be an indefnable something else missing. It will be the glowing face and capacious form. which all had grown to love, of J. F. Pierce.
 The only nook and corner of that vast building which escaped the racE and ruin wrought at either the late election or the Democratic convention
 is the office of County Surveyor Trott which stands amid the confusion and
 hurly burly of change an emblem Of
 the immuta bility of some things at cer- tain times
