LOVE.

Love is terrible. boys and girls, It numbs the senses. your head whirls. To your business it is foe, If you're rejected it causes woe Tho it brishtens the eye and quickens the
 step,
 It has killed lots of men and will do so yet. It is something you cannot see or hear, But it is something all of you want to fear Old men are worse than boys, you know, For when love gets them it never lets go. Their business they will then neglect, Letters write and letters get Love is to them both bread and meat doubt if anything else they eat. Now, as I've written enough to warn thee, I'll stop my poem for fear you'll scorn me.

TOOK 'rfiE CASH AND SKIPPED. Frank Rosa Robs the Man Who Gives
 Him Food and Shelter.

About week ago Mir. $. Picch, the proprietor of fruit stand on De Queen street, took one Frank Rosa into his home as the young man was in quite destitute circumstances. The fellow gained the confidence of Mi Pcchi who, wishing to go to Ft. Smith for q few days, left him in charge of the business last Friday.
 On Monday Mir. Picchi received tel segram calling him home, signed by Frank Rosa In response to this he came down on the afternoon train to find his stand in harge of small boy, and upon investigation found that Rosa had left for Poteau. L T., taking with him all money and valuaLles he could find about the stand, to the amount of about S25. He also borrowed $5 from H. II. Smith, saying he had a telegram from MT. Picchi ordering him to pay a certain bill and did not have money enough.
 Every effort is being made by those left to mourn their losses to have the young rascal captured, and it is be- lieved they will succeed as they have been quite successful in keeping track of him since he left here, and have the officers on the lookout for him.

tJ. B. Weaver, Colfax, Iowa"
This was the signature by Gen. Wea-
yer which was made on the register at
the Columbia hotel when The Dalles-
Portland local pulled into town today.
He was met by A. L. Reese and a
CHRONICLE reporter, who upon being
introduced, headed the reporter off by
saying he never permitted himself to be
interviewed. When asked his reason
he replied that he was frequently mis-
quoted, or else the reporter couldn't
understand what he said. He stated,
however, that the state would be thor
oughly canvassed this year by Populist
speakers.
Gen. Weaver, who was the Populist
candidate for president of the United
States four years ago, has very vener-
abe appearance, his hair and mustachs
having become silvered during the many
campaigns in which he has variously
figured. He dresses faultlessly in a
we'll fitting suit of black, his carriage is
erect and his walk sprightly. After
speaking tonight on Populist Issues at
the Baldwin, he will proceed to Rufus
on the 1O:55 train.

the glory OF good name.
1t takes years TO make a good name,
but when one generation educates a
following one to revere n name which
has been endeared to them. then the
genuineness of that good name is un-
questioned.
Such is the standing of the name
Lydia L. Pinkham among the women
of America to-day, after years of con-
staney. faithful and reliable service, her
whole life having been spent for the
benefit of others, and that her name
will be revered by one generation after
another is already being demonstrated.
The following letter from a Woburn,
Mass, woman illustrates this fact,
having been benefited by Mrs. Pink
hams advice and remedies herself,
recommends the same treatment TO her
daughters; and on Mrs. Pinltham's
files in Lynn, Mass, will be found hun
dreds of letters from women using ex-
prcssions similar to the following;
