The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
Sarsaparilla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know 1t Absolutely Cures
When Other Medicines Fail

They Know It Absolutely Cures
When Other Medicines Fail
Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely SIM
pie preparation of sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stillingia and a little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alternatives, it
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
It also contains those great kidney reme-
dies, Iva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are tremendously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparilla
matter of surprise? You can see why
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds of medicine with
out relief. After taking few bottles of
Hoods Sarsaparilla she was cured" MRS.

Topeka. Kan, June 24.-The worst
hail storm known In this section Of
Kansas struck this city shortly after
O'Clock tonight. The shower Of hail
was terrific. Haiistones weighing IL
to 10 ounces stripped tile trees OF their
foliage, sma shed window panes on ev-
cry hand, Including the finest plate
glass store fronts. cut down telegraph
and telephone wires, riddled awnings,
injured many persons and inflicted un-
precedented damage throughout the
city. 30 great was the weight Of the
falling hail that when 1t struck the as
phalt pavement many Of the hailsrones
rebounded to the height of twenty TO
thirty feet. Dogs were struck In the
streets and instantly killed. Horses
were knocked to their knees. to rise
again and dash away In mad fright.
Runaways occurred throughout the
city.
When the fury Of the storm passed
those who ventured out found dead
birds everywhere and on every hand
was the scene of the wreckage OF the
storm.
Topeka tonight looks like city that
had withstOod a Siege OF war guns.
There are not a dozen buildings in the
town that are not almost windowless,
and many roofs were cayed In. The
roofs of many structures also were
pierced. The damage can be imagined
when 1t is known that the hailstones
ranged In size from that Of hens egg
to an ostrich egg. and that thirty min
utes after the storm one hnilstOne was
picked up which measured fourteen
inches In circumference. Surgeons are
busy dressing the wounds of persons
injured In the storm and reports of In
juries continue to be received. Many
were hurt In the runaways on the
streets.
The following are among the most
seriously hurt:
Frank Brainard, hackman, skull
fractured.

fractured.
Henry White. leg broken in runaway.
Mrs. Mary Hughes. arm broken In
runaway.
d. Klee, bad scalp wound.
Miss Anna Fenton. head cut.
Fred HOller, head cut.
The damage cannot be estimated.
but 1t will amount to thousands. Win
dow glass is already at a premium
here. and tonight three carloads were
ordered from Kansas City. Street car
traffic Is stopped and electric lights are
out. owing to decentralization OF the

H. A. Huston, state chemist of In
diana, in a report says: The estimated
sales of commercial fertilizers in In
diana during 1896 amounted to $4,000
tons. This is an apparent decrease of
5000 tons from the estimated sales in
1895. The decrease is, l believe, only
apparent, for it now seems probable
that the estimate for 1895 was too
high, owing to considerable number
OF tags being carried over which were
really used in 1896, although they ap-
pear in the 1895 sales. 1t Is probable
that an estimate of 42, 900 tons In 1895
and $4,000 tons in 1896 would more
nearly express the real facts. In the
$4,000 tons for which tags were
issued were 1O,7OO tons of bone
and non-acidulated packing house
products; 21,S00 tons of com
plete" fertilizer, that is. acidu-
lated goods containing phosphoric acid,
nitrogen and potash; $500 tons of am
moniated rhosphates, 100 tons of acid
phosphate and potash, and A,400 tons
Of plain acid phosphate. OF the bone
and non-acidulated packing house
products 400 tons had received an ad-
dition of potash. Comparing the sales
IL each group with the sales OF the
previous year. we f1nd that there has
been an increase OF 1900 tons In sales
Of complete" fertilizer. an increase
Of 1000 tons In the sales Of plain acid
phosphate, decrease of 500 tons in the
sslss Of ammoniated phospate, a de-
crease Of 1.l0o tons Of acid phosphate
ana potash. and decrease OF 1900
tons In the sales Of bone and acidulated
