Green Bay, Wis, March 20.-,[SpeciaIl
1t is very doubtful whether the couaty
board will take definite action during the

Under the law. the salary of the sheriff
applies only to his work and that of depu-

authorized to charge fees for work done
outside the county. The salary would

the state. If such were the case sal

President Cleveland and Secretary Hoke
Smith have received interesting communi-
cations from Victor L. Ochoa. federal
convict in the Kings county. New York, peni-
tentiary.
He has an aerial ma chine which he wishes
to dispose of and to give this government
the first chance to secure 1t. His letter to
the President never reached that official
but was referred to the Commissioner OF
Patents, who did not pass favorably upon
1t because its practicability had never been
proven. Ochoa stated that as he was
serving a three years term In the peni-
tentiary he has no opportunity of testing
his machine but If given chance he will
show that it will work successfully. In
which event he thinks he ought to have
his liberty. He makes known his idea at
this time because of the belligerent at
titude of the United States toward Great
Britain.
He wants the attention of Congress called
to his invention and states that it will do
away with battleships. He asserts that
his machine will 20 from one to three
h ndred miles per hour and carry more than
double Its weight.
He wants $25 900. 900 for it and thinks
this an insufficient sum. but says half a

auce with the laws of Nature. These are
happily combined in DR.. Pieree's Favorite
Prescription.
Every prospective mother should coni-
mence early during the period OF CESSATION
to fortify and prepare her system for the
trying ordeal OF the coming Of baby. by
the regular use OF DR.. Pterce's Favoriie
Prescription, which exercises a salutary
Influence over that condition and the func-
ton OF parturition which cannot be real
tied from any other medicine extant.
Thereby danger to both mother and child
is banished, nearly all the pain and suffer-
ing are avoided, recovery after conline-
ment is much more speedy, and an abundant
secretion OF nourishment for the child Is
promoted. The woodworking "Favorite
Prescription" imparts health and strength
to the whole system and especially TO the
organs distinctly feminine. Not only for
prospective mothers but for nursing ones
as well and for feeble women generally,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
greatest earthly boon.
The "Favorite Prescription" Is the only
medicine now before the publicfOr woman's
peculiar ailments, adapted to her delicate
organization by regularly graduated
physician-an experienced and skilled spec
ialist in these naladies. 1t cannot do harm
In any condition of the system. Its sales
exceed the combined sales OF all other
medicines for women.
All arrangements of the distinctly feini-
ntne organism are cured by Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t is absolutely
certain. There are some who have neg
lected themselves so long that complete
cure is next to impossible, but even these
will find comfort and improved health in
the use OF the ''Favorite Prescription"
1t has cured hundreds OF women who have
received no relief whatever from years OF
treatment with good physicians. II Is
absolutely unique in the history OF medicine.
Such a remedy can be discovered only once
There is nothing in the world like it, nor
has there ever been.

in a new mind and new body than in

The New Woman is much more indcpend-

new objects in life to take the place OF the

CARELESS BACKS.

1t is curious how many people dress
themselves as if they were paper dolls.
They have everything well arranged
and becomingly put on in front, while
the back seems quite a secondary con.
sideration. Yet a neat-looking back,
with hair, neck ribbon, waistband.
bows, ETC., all accurately and method.
ically placed, is most attractive. II
seems hard to realize, in looking at
ones reflection in a mirror, that the
reverse of the picture is quite as much,
if not more, seen by the people IN
general, and that a well dressed woman
should scan her back carefully by the
aid of q handglass before leaving her
room. Hair particularly should be
especially studied at the back as at the
front, with the additional reason tor
care in that to very few women is il
given to possess a pretty nape of the
neck, with the hair growing tidily
about it. "It is the only place where
Nature shows herself bit of a sloven
she's apt to leave it unfinished, "
said an artist critic, speaking of this
particular spot. So 1t is we'll to let
judicious art supplement Nature at
this point, and to endeavor to make it
attractive.

NEW WIDE BELTS,

Stiff belts are out of fashion. So
are the narrow ones. 1t is the girdle
of velvet or ribbon that reigns. More
than half the new gowns this fall are
made with a girdle. The girdles are
wide and soft, and cling effectively to
the figure. Some of them are finished
at the back in a bow, with long sash
ends. Others are shaped exactly like
a butterfly.
Buttons are much used to trim the
girdles, but they must never be alike.
A novel idea is the girdle OF three
folds Of velvet, each fold being finished
at the left side with different button.
OF course, the buttons must be some
thing out Of the ordinary, or they
cannot be used. There are other cir
dies which are finished at the side
with three or four bows, one above the
other.
Then there is the girdle shaped like
a corselet and fastened up the front
with tiny, ieweled buttons. A stylish
girdle is made of straps of double.
faced satin ribbon, alternating with
bands OF lace insertion over black rib
bon. Both lace and jet butterflies arc
used to ornament many of the new
girdles. When butterfly adorns the
front Of a girdle, then the ribbon is
tied at the back in butterfly bow.
