The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being n
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution aud assisting nature to do
its work. The preprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer ONE HUNDRED DOL
LARS for any case that it fails to cure.

The National Encampment of the G.

observe the last Sunday in May here
after as Memorial Day, and to strike
May 80 altogether from the calendar of
American holidays. The growing pop
ularity Of Memorial Day as a date for
outdoor spectacles and all sorts Of
athletic diversions probably started the
suggestion that the Nations annual
tribute of respect to its dead heroes
might be more fittingly paid on a day
consecrated to rest, quiet and religious
duties. But despite its popuiarization
as a sporting and pleasure-hunting
holiday, May 80 still holds its own as a
serious National festival.

PREPARING FOR ANOTHER CROP.-
The farmers are busily engaged in pre-
pairing their land for another crop of
wheat. The indications are that
greater number of acres will be devoted
to this crop than there have been for
many years. The prospect of dollar
a bushel has led every farmer to devote
greater attention to the production of
this cereal. The continuance of the
advanced price in wheat, however, is
rather uncertain, partic ularly should
conditions become favorable in India,
Australia, Argentine Republic and
Russia, for increased production. AS
the price of other farm products proves
unremunerative, it may be wise to
grow more wheat and trust to Provi-
dence for the result. Large yields and
better cultivation may pay for the la
Dor until some other crop promises to
be more remunerative, when the wide
awake tiller of the soil may change his
tactics and adopt such methods as will
insure a greater reward for his labors.

WOMAN ROBBED THE TREASURY.
A Very Ingenious Scheme for Making a
Fortune.

During the incum beucy of the office of
United STATES treaau. er Y MI. Hyatt of
Connecticut, 4 woman employed in the
redemption division was discovered in a
very ingenious scheme for making fort
une AZ The expense If the United States,
says 'he Rochester Post-ExpresS.
AS is well known, the department re-
deems at full value any portion of a bill,
provided no more than One-third is miss
ing. This woman would take a package
of $40 bills, say, and would tear frac-
ton, perhaps three-quarters of an inch
long, from one Of them. She would Sc
crete this portion and in a short time
would take another bill Of like denomi-
nation and tear off piece twice as long.
substituting the smaller piece from the
first bill, so as to bring the note up to the
limit of length required Proceeding in
this way, she would, in the course of few
hours, secure for herself one extra bill.
Just how much the woman stole was
never ascertained, but she succeeded IN
saving enough money out of salary OF
5000 year to build beautiful house in
semi-fashiOnable quarter fthe city, and
to supply herself with valuable bric-a-
braC, and even a horse and carriage. 1t
was the fact that she generally drove to
the department every morning. in this We
hicle that attracted attention to her
mode of living, and eventually led to the
discovery of her mode of speculation.
She was indicted by the grand jury, but
was never tried, as she died from cancer
before the day set for her trial.
The amount of money which this
thrifty countess" secured was estimated
at all the way from $4,000 to $4,000,
but there is absolutely no means of dis
covering just how much she did secure
from her dishonest practices.

The scence at the last meeting be-
tween II. S. Perry, who was hanged at
Decatur for killing Belly Lanier, and
his four little children was a most at
fecting one. He babe them goodbye
at the jail the day before the eXecu-
tlOn. Perry had displayed wonderful
nerve throughout, maintaining his self
control under all circumstances, until
ne had to say goodbye to his little
ones. The children did not realize the
seriousness of the situation. They
knew that some great sorrow was on
the mind of their father, but their
childish minds could not grasp the hOr-
rlble truth and they were spared the
suffering of the older persons. Perry
retained his nerve until the children
started to leave his cell. AS his little
boy, a child of six, walked to the door
he said: "Be a good boy, son." and
then a wall that made all in hearing
shudder came from the cage, as Perry
saw his children leaving with their
heads bowed in sorrow, caused by they
knew not what. The children, follow
ed by their aunt, walked into the Jail
er's office. While standing with his
face against the heavy door of iron
Perry cried aloud in his anguish and
his strong frame trembled as he gave
way to his feelings. "Oh, God, have
mercy upon my children,'' he cried
again and again, as he pressed against
the cage door in last effort to see
them.
God help them; oh, God help them, -
cried the miserable man as he threw
himself on the iron cot in his cell and
buried his face in his trembling hands.
Perry was not long in recovering his
composure. AS if apprehensive some
one would think him in fear Of death
he suddenly stood erect and said 'I
have no fear of death myself, but [ am
thinking of my poor wife and little
children, who will be left without me.
