THE ADAMS DEFICIT.

WHEN superintendent w. G. ADAMS
died, all We'd in doing honor to his
memory. 1t was not presumed then
that a cloud would so soon appear and
blast the reputation of man who had
been presumed TO be strictly honest.
Upon an examination of his accounts
it was ascertained that the shortage in
his department is $25O5e. % This is con-
coded not to be the total amount of his
deficiency. AS his bond was only $1,000
the city mustnecessarily sustain "A loss
of more than $4,000. This will be dis
tressing news TO his friends and will
place his family in most embarrass-
ing situation especially since his widow
sent to the.Council petition asking for
the donation Of triangular lot belong
ing to the city, upon which to erect a
house for herself and family. She
claimed that Mr.. ADAMS had spent
nearly all his life in the service of the
city, and had to spend nearly all Of his
money TO get elected.
The question will naturally be, what
did he do with the twenty-five thous-
and dollars? The disclosures are to be
regretted, but the Democratic Party
can save itself only by rigid investi-
CATION and the placing of the punish-
ment where it belongs.

INTIMIDATING A JURY.

The case of the colored women al
legged to have been concerned in the
murder of Mrs. POLLARD (white) is in
deed pathetic.
A horrible crime has been commits
ted and the punishment therefor is.
death. SOLOMON MARBLE, the muir
derer has been convicted and upon his
testimony, which is conflicting and ap-
parently false, these colored. women
have been arraigned.
Money was found on the person of
MARBLE and the bloody clothing
which he wore when he committed the
horrible deed produced, but nothing
connects the women with the crime,
save his testimony which has had a
tendency all along to clear himself st
the expense of others.
Mrs. MARY Alternately, whom he
charges with assisting in the crime,
when placed upon the witness-stand at
Lunenburg, G. H., last Monday dis
claimed all responsibility and conclu-
sively proved an alibi. Ex-Judge PER

DR. RTMAN'S TREATMENT.
How it Happens That Every Woman in the United States Can Obtain His
 Treatment Free,

The question is often asked, How can Dr. Hartman afford to direct the treat ment of so many women without charg- ing anything? As was announced two months ago, the doctor proposes to direct the treatment (absolutely free) of all wo- men afflicted with any kind of female de- ragenment who apply to him by letter The question is, How can such a re- nowned physician and surgeon afford to do this?
 This is the way 1t is done: The Peru na Drug Manufacturing company are the sole manufacturers of Dr. Hartman's famous remedies, extensively used in all parts of the United States. This com pany receives thousands of letters from women who are using these remedies, asking for some detail of treatment Many of these questions are such that only Dr. Hartman could an- swer them. They therefore conclud- ed to secure Dr. Hartman to di- rect the treatment of these pa tents This brings the personal advice afflicted woman in the United States free. As the company manufactures Dr. Hartman's remedies, they are thus en- abled to bear the enormous expense of providing every woman with free advice. Send address, age, symptoms, duration of sickness to pr. Hartman and prompt answer will be given.
 A valuable pamphlet devoted to diseases of the female sex is now being sent free to any address by the Peru ma Drug Manufacturing company of Co., lumbuS, O.
