Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, H., was told By her doctors she
had consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles DR..
Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her
life. Mr.. Thomas Eggers, l39 Florida
St., San Francisco, suffered from a
dreadful cold, approaching consump-
tiOn, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle Of Dr..
Kings New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. 1t is such results, ofwhich
these are samples, that prove the

1t is about this time of year that
the hOuSekeeper begins to cast her
eyes about her in search of dirt,while
her finger tips tingle with the ap-
preaching excitement Of house clean
ing, one Of the most important items
Of which is the windows. Choose a
dull day when the sun is not shining,
as sunshine on glass causes it to dry
streaked, no matter how much it is
rubbed. Take a painters brush and
dust the windows inside and outside,
washing the woodwork on the inside
before attempting TO wash the glass.
The latter should be washed with
warm water containing a little am
mOnia. Do not use any soap. Use a
small cotton cloth and a pointed stick
to remove the dirt from the corners.
Then wipe dry with a soft cotton
cloth. Do not use linen, as it makes
the glass linty when dry. Polish with
tissue paper or old newspapers and
your windows will be so bright and
clean that you can see your face in
them

Solid Western Republicans.

The republican conventions that are
being held in states between the Mis-
sissippi and the Rockies furnish little
evidence that the free-coinage heresy
has hold upon the party in that Sec
ton of the country. The convention in
North Dakota Endorsed the ST. Louis
platform, an effort to tack silver
plank to the resolutions being easily de-
feated. In South Dakota Senator Pet
tigrew used all of his influence to pre-
vent similar Endorsement, but he was
overwhelmingly defeated. In Iowa the
congressman and other politicians who
seemed so doubtful at st. Louis whether
their constituents wonld endure dec
laration for the gold standard found
that the delegates to the state conven-
ton were impatient with their timid-
ity, and were quite ready to stand up
to the rack" Indeed, there has been
little evidence of revolt among republic
ans in the central part of the union, out
side the states of Minnesota and Mich
igan, and in these two states the boilers
from the st. Louis platform do not seem
to be gaining ground as time passes

Sir Christopher. Wren.

When Sir Christopher Wren built the
town hall of Windsor fidgety men,
Der of the corporation, as the story goes,
insisted that the roof required further
support, and wished that more pillars
should be added. Vainly did Sir Chris
topher assure him that the supposed
danger was imaginary. The alarm be-
came infectious, and the great architect
was finally worried into adding the de-
sired columns. Years rolled on, but in
later times when architect and patrons
had passed away cleaning operations in
the roof revealed the fact that the sup
posed additional supports did not touch
the roof by a couple of inches, though
this was imperceptible to the gazers
below. BY this ingenious expedient did
Wren pacify his critics, while vindicat-
ing his own architectural skill to flu
ture generations. = Chicago Inter

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Case Which Affects the Interest Of Every
Savings Bank Depositor.

Case Wnicn Auects the interest OF every
Savings Bank Deposition.
Judge DAILY, in the appellate term Of
the supreme court at New York the
other day handed down q decision
which is of interest to every savings
bank depositor in the country. In it
he holds that when a depositor SUBJ
scribes to the rules of savings bank
governing deposits, which rules pro-
vide that the presentation of bank
book shall be sufficient evidence of au-
thority to the bank to make any pay
ment to the bearer, such payments shall
be valid when there is no circum-
stance in connection with the presenta-
ton of the pass book to justify sus-
picion. The decision is in the case of a
depositor of the Citizens savings bank
against that institution, who had nearly
$1,000 on deposit, and which deposit was
withdrawn by another person who had
obtained possession of his pass book.
Judge Days decision was on appeal.
The case had been tried twice in the
lower courts and in each instance the
decision was in favor of the plaintiff.

fishermen Cook and Kettle. The
shark, which it is believed will weigh

few hours the fishermen had reaped
over $40 by charging an admission of
ten cents. The shark is the first cap
tured In many years in the vicinity Of
Scabright, and hundreds Of guests
viewed shark for the first time. Just
what disposition the fishermen will
make Of the monster is not known, for
as long as the curiosity of the people
lasts and the shark survives they will
continue to exhibit him. The shark
is lively and seems to be contented in

SOLDIERS DIRE SALUTE.
Dol Powell Finds Out Wheels Tricks
and Forsakes Amenities.

ana Forsakes Amenities.
Although Col. Powell, a distinguished
Holdier of Uncle Sam, stationed at Fort
Sheridan, ILL.,, was recently learning to
ride bicycle, he determined to be just
ss much of soldier as ever, and never
forgot the military amenities. The
colonel was not yet altogether sure Of
his balance, even on the broad road
ways of the reservation, and kept his
eye steadily upon the course. The other
day things went along so finely that on
slight down grade the colonel pedaled
away, even to scorcher's speed. A sol
der passed and gave his superior sa-
lutte. The sturdy colonel never thought
of danger. He never has. True to his
martial instinct, he returned the salute
TWAS fatal moment when he turned
his eye from his wheel. His hand had
scarcely reached the handle bars again
when the unruly steed whirled aside
and attacked lamp post. Off went
the doughty colonel, and wheel and sol
dier became mixed up in the dirt.
Though the colonel was wounded in
several spots, he did not surrender. He
Ieentered the engagement long enough
to reach the surgeons quarters, and
then several days elapsed before he re-
newed the battle. The lamp post still
bears evidence of attack.
Col. Powell is riding his wheel again,
and such an enthusiast is he now that
lie has even subordinated military dis
cipline to circumstances. He discreet
" returns no more salutes. The boys
in blue make it point to skirmish
along his course as frequently as pos
sible, but the colonel will not be am
pushed. To the most loyal salute he
will not take his hand from the tricky
machine. He just smiles to show how
happy he is, gives nod Of recognition,
ind scorches on.

The chief glory of Argamasilla is the
Casa de Medrano, solid stone house,
standing probably in the same condi-

Cervantes was kept q prisoner In it's

is the very place where the design of the
book, which was "engendered in a
prison" (see prologue to the first part
Of Don Quixote) was first nodded.
Some twenty-five feet by eight, and sew
en- feet high, with mere hole for VIM
dow, this unhealthy cell is so dark that
when the original door, still partly
standing, with its iron clamps and nails,
is closed 1t precludes the possibility OF
