"Last spring had to give up work, being unable
to walk to my place of employment, Q distance OF
only half Q mile. I suffered almos. necessarily
from sick headache. lad racking pains all over
my body. The least excrt;on would tire me cut.
Going up one fight Of stairs would make my heart
beat at a terrible rate. I was induced to take
Hoods Sarsaparis, and now, sitter taking less than
two bottles, the pains and aches have all left me.

"My health has been poor for a good many years
before began to take Hoods Sarsaparilla. Finally
I decided to TAKE Hoods and can honestly say tina.
it has done me more good than any and al other
treatments. I was troubled with dyspepsia, food
distressed me, and had but little appetite,
weak and nervous. In fact my trouble bordered on
nervous prostration, from which had previously
suffered. I took Hoods Sarsaparilla last summer
and it did me ever 30 much good. 1t does not seem
as though I am the same person. My appetite is
greatly improved, am less nervous, have more
strength and q can eat heartily without distress.
Such q condition was unknown to me before taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla." Mrs. q. c. CLAY, Barre, Vt.

THECLIMATE OF YUMA.

The climate of Yuma fer nine months ot the year has no equal, as we believe, in the world, and during the remaining three months of the year, comprising June, July and August, the heat is not oppressive. Even though the thermometer in nhd-s0m- ,,er may a times rise above l09', and oe- easiona.iv even reach llG', yet, owing u tho absence of moisturei in the air, its not onnregsiye. The atmosphere is pure, light and balmr. When the mercury marks 'Ae biplest extreme of heat, @ person does mol feel that oppression or debility wine" Is felt in the Eastern States when tAo 'al.- eury is ranging from so' to 9o'.

DR.. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Ninety.eighf per cent Of an
cases of Consumption, In ali It's
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds Of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
EARLIER stages, consumption is durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
centdge Of Eases, and we believe, fully %
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing. tubercular matter, great loss of flesh
and extreme efnasiation and weakness.
DO you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cgred by Golden Med
ical Discovery" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, IN curative power over this
fatal inalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy eInulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to benc-
st, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
& short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain
The photographs of large number OF
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
ca.arr'I and kindred nlaiadies, have been
sl.illfuIly reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ccip. of address and six cents in stamps.

THEIR STORIES DIFFER.
The Sensational Foss-Lufkin Shooting
Affair at Rumford Center.
He Says II Was Purposely Done She Says In
Self Defence.

Paris, Feb. l3.-Thc grand jury of the
Oxford supreme court will consider the
case of Clarinda b. Foss, charged with
shooting Addison Lufkins at Rumford
Center, under peculiar and sensational
circumstances. Mr.. Lufkns, an aged
farmer, is widower. He says:
Seventeen months ago l engaged
Clarinda b. Foss as housekeeper After
II short acquaintance, she promised to
marry me as soon as she could get a
divorce from MIR. Foss. She invested
800 in the farm and took as security a
life lease Of the property.
six months later we quarrcled, and
the trouble eliminated in my arrest ON
the charge of attempting undue intimacy
with Mrs. Foss. This charge was not sus-
tanned before the court. l went to live
with my daughter, and Mrs. Foss, by her
life lease, took possession of the farm. A
few weeks ago l went To the farm to get
some personal property. Mrs. Foss, with
II revolver in hand, entered the barn where
was
=" Don't you dare touch any of my
property she said, These things are
mine
:" 1 am going to take them, replied
" You leave this barn at once or will
shoot you as a trespasser said Mrs. Foss.
q persisted in taking the property and
struggle ensued, during which Mrs.
FOSs shot me, 32 -calibre ball pierced my
overcoat, vest waistband of trousers and
two shirts, and lodged against my side.
Mrs. Foss was arrested. charged with as
sault with intent to kill and was bound
over for the grand jury"
Mrs. Foss says: Mr. Lufkins engaged
me as housekeeper and induced me To in
vest $500 in a farm, not his property
When he asked me to marry him replied
that was already married To another man.
and there was no talk about divorce When
he found that l would not marry him,
Mr.. Lufkins did something for which he
was arrested and bound over. The grand
Jury failed to indict him because of the
nperfect presentation of the facts.
''He prowled about my house and
harmed my property, and / had him put
under bonds to cease tcespassing. He
continued his actions and got a revolver.
Finally he came with Il companion to get
wheel. l told his companion to enter
the shed and get it and ordered Mr.. Luf
kins to stay outside
Their actions convinced me that the
story about the wheel was a pretence to
harm my property. | got my revolver
and entered the shed where they were.
When l entered Mr.. Lufkins rushed at me
and l fired to save my life. l fired only
once. Neither of us spoke to the other

were suspended for three days to give the
libelees chance to appear in opposition.
In the case of Josiah Il. Hall of Rum
ford Falls, VS.. the Mercantile Mutual Ac-
ci lent Association of Boston, the defence
was. that death was from disease not acct

ment for $1,000 without costs.

the institution in two years. And there
is not an intelligent farmer in the state
handling considerable number OF cattle
that would dare to risk his herd one single
year in the quarters that are provided for
this herd which supplies the milk for
that institution. Then in. the name of
humanity, provide good healthy quarters
for those cows, where healthy milk can
be produced. and where TIE State will be
in a measure secured from the danger OF
the introduction of disease in consequence
of these improper buildings in which they
are now housed.
Mr.. Gates of vassalboro said that from
the figures given here today you will
notice that in two years this piggery will
pay for itself That is more than the
COW barn will do. l say, whether we have
COW barn or not, give us piggery
Mr.. Coffin of Bangor. said that having
visited the insane asylum and taken
special pains to examine the condition of
the barn and piggery, have come 10 the
same conclusion as other gentlemen on
the floor of this House, after having made
that examination, This is, that they
have not adequate accommodation for
their stock there. We are re
minded of the large appropriations
that Lave been made That is one of the
things that we are here for, to make wise
and judicious appropriations, and if an
appropriation is needed over there for the
better care and protection of the stock,
let us make the appropriation that is
necessary and make it generously, If
possible, so that they may not be cramped
for want of means to carry out wisely the
plans and needs of that institution.
Mr.. Parkhurst of Bangor, said that as
q member of the committee it was his
good fortune to inspect carefully the out
buildings ut the insane hospital. 1t had
been my intention to give to the House
fully the facts which led me to join my
colleagues on the committee in reporting
in favor of this resolve. Unfortunately l
am physically unable TO talk at length. In
fact owe the House an apology for speak
ting at all upon the subject. l can only
say that believe the resolve as, reported
should pass, and | trust that the various
amendments will be voted down.
The question being on the adoption of
the amendment offered by Mr.. Barrett of
Canaan, to strike out the words "nine-
teen in the second line and insert the
word "ten,"
The amendment was lost.
The question then being on the passage
of the resolve to be engrossed,
1t was agreed to.
The resolve was then passed to be en-
crossed
On mot ion of Mr. Fairbanks of Bangor,
Adjourned.
