A Lively Set-tO.

Deputy sheriff McAllister had a
lively set-to with a pair of tick
ridgers in Rising Sun last Wednes-
day afternoon. About a month ago
McAllister attempted to serve a
summons ON Pussy Mcconnell for
larceny, but Pussy got wind of it
and wouldn't hunt for the deputy,
so they failed to meet. Last
Wednesday McAllister was in town
on other business and happened to
meet Mcconnell. The officer stated
the case to him, but had neglected
to bring the warrant and Pussy,
who is great stickler for having
everything in due form, refused to
recognize McAllister. When the
officer attempted to use mixture
of persuasion and force new factor
appeared upon the scene in the
person of Pusey's consort, one Sal
johnson, who vowed by everything
good and bad, mostly bad, that her
darling should not be taken. She
Immediately sailed into the deputy
and made the fur fly. She swore,
and bit, and scratched, and hit.
AS McAllister was too gallant to
strike back and was not sure of his
authority to arrest without a war
rant, he gave it up as bad job
and Sallie and Pussy went on their
way rejoicing.

An Old Criminal.

Sheriff Mackey on Monday de
livered to the Pennsylvania author
tiles on the requisition of Governor
Hastings, James Adams, held at
Elkton Jail for stealing turkeys
from w. X. Warden, of Coleraine,
Lancaster county, Pa. His COM
panion ON this trip, John Dodderick,
has left the country, and is said to
be in. the Welsh Mountains.
Adams, it is reported, was for years
a member of the Pickering gang of
horse thieves that had headquarters
near the Octoraro creek.
The most serious charge against
Adams is that of breaking into Mrs.
Melvina Garver's residence, near
Oxford, Pa, last December and
trying to kidnap her child. Adams
was discovered in the house by
Mrs, Carver and her daughter, and
a struggle followed. The women
were overpowering him when he
snatched kettle of hot water from
the stove and scalded them. He
escaped, and remained away until
arrested recently at Rising Sun.

CharlestOWn Wonder
Sick With Bright's Disease and
Oropsy for Months
Completely Cured by Hoods Sarsa-
parilIa.

parilIa.
The cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla
are indeed wonderful, and yet they
are accomplished in a perfectly natural
way. Hoods Sarsaparilla purifes and
enriches the blood and sends it in a
life-giving stream to all parts of the
body. In this way Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla overcomes disease and establishes
good health. The following testimonial
is from Jerry Dougherty, of Charles
town, Md, who writes:
eff any one doubts that Hoods sarsa-
parilla is great and wonderful medicine,
I advise them to come here and see a boy
who has been
SickIy All His Life.
He was sick in bed for nine months with
Bright's disease and dropsy, and he
bloated until he measured a. inches around
his waist: The doctors gave him up and
refused to prescribe for him. We were
obliged to sit up nights with him. When
his mother bought Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the people told her it was no use, but she
began giving him this medicine, and in
one month after he began taking it he
was able to walk, and he can eat almost
any kind of food. Those who know about
this case think it is one of the most Won
derful cures ever perfOrmed,o
