A Dual Life.

LoaANspoRT, IND, Aug. 2S.-The dual
life Of once prominent former Of Cass
county was revealed by O suit filed in the
Circuit Court to quit the title to g farm.
In 1865 Anna E. Woodling, the daugh-
ter Of David Woodling, arich land owner
of this county, married William Marshall,
q young man who had but recently been
discharged from the army. Nothing was
known Of Marshall and he studiously
averted any reference to his past history.
He was industrious, and, by the assist
auce Of Woodling, purchased q small
farm. Fortune smiled upon him and he
became rich. About ten years ago Mar
shall was killed by the premature dis
charge of a blast, leaving his wife and
seven children real and personal proper

the department it was found that another
woman, Agnes Marshall, of Pittsburg,
Pa, had applied for a pension as the wild

was placed in the hands Of a United
States agent of the depot who found upon
investigation that the Pittsburg woman
was the lawful wife Of the dead veteran.
at the beginning of the war he Joined
a. Pennsylvania regiment, leaving his
wife and two children at Pittsburg and as
he never returned to her she came to the
conclusion that he had been killed in

Miraculously Saved.

Up in the City Hall they were talk
ing about fires the other day, and
somebody spoke Of the narrow escape
a citizen had not long ago. Accord
ing to the story he left a certain
dwelling just ten minutes before it
vas struck by lightning.
''It was an awful close CALL" said
the narrator.
Chief Dickinson's eyes twinkled.
."That reminds me Of a narrow es-
cape I had during the war" he said.
II arrived on the field Of battle-it
was one Of the fercest engagements Of
the war-just "a hours after the fight
was over. Of course, if I had been
there in time I would have been kill
ed. In fact, I have often thought,
with a shudder, Of that unusually
close call"
And the man with the lightning
story walked away.-Geuezand Plain

federate Government, which the Fed
erals had captured. They concluded
that their four years Of hard service
for the Confederacy entitled them to
a share of this gold, provided they
could succeed in securing it from the
Federal guard. With them the war
was not yet over, and they acted
upon the idea that anything was fair
in war.
"They organized an expedition with
the view Of capturing this money, and
followed the train until a favorable
opportunity Of attack presented itself;
they charged the train, captured and
disarmed the guard, and proceeded at
once to knock the heads ont of the
kegs containing the gold, and tofll
their forage sacks with shining twenty
and ten dollar gold pieces.
"Several of them got away with as
much as $50, 900 apiece; some were
content with $25, 900, and still others
with less amounts, depending upon
the carrying capacity Of their forage
sacks and saddle bags.
"One fellow began to fill his sack
out of the first keg he came to, which
proved to be q key of silver. He was
happy when he lugged off his bag full
Of silver dollars, but when he met his
comrades at the rendezvous, where
they stopped to count their money,
and found that, while he had such a
large bulk and heavy load Of money,
it only counted up about $4,000, his
comrades, who were goldbugs; disdain-
ing the silver kegs, had secured such
large sums in gold, he became greatly
disturbed over his i'll luck and greatly
offended at the refusal of the others
to divide their gold with him-his
predictions for free silver had cost
him many thousands of dollars-and
he determined toturn informer. Upon
information furnished by this silver
king several Of the goldbugs were ap-
pretended and compelled to give uI
their booty, but a number of them
were wise enough to keep on going
until they got safe away from the
scene Of their capture.

NY Health.

There is mo- on for being Respondent
and considering diseases of the blood
iucurable, simply because the treatment
of physicians and many so-called blood
remedies fail to effect a cure. Though
it is naturally disheartening to the sut-
ferer who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment of the physicians, often at the
expense of hundreds of dollars, to find
himself. no > better 4? as time goes
BY, still q cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., nc matter what other
treatment has failed.
The reason that SIS. (Swift's Spe-
cifc) has so successfully cured even the
worst cases after other treatment Fad
been tried in vain is that it is the only
remedy which forces the poison from
the blood and permanently eliminates
it from the system, which is the only
correct principle of curing the disease.
Mercurial remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down the system, while SIS.
forces out the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor to the entire
system.T It is natures remedy, and con-
taius no harmful ingredient.
