She can be an inte .esee:rg invalid, or rather,
IN uninteresting Invalid, for there never
vas an interesting one.
The woman who suffers from weakness
and disease of the distinctly feminine or
gans is certain to become an invalid. No
woman can suffer in this way and be a
healthy, happy, amiable wife and compe-
tent mother. Troubles of this nature sap
the strength, rack the nerves, paint lines
of suffering upon the face, destroy the tenn
per, make the once bright eyes dull and
the once active brain sluggish, and trans
form vivaeious woman into weak, sickly
invalid.
The one sure, speedy. permanent cure
for all disorders of the distinctly feminine
nature is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
1t acts directly on the delicate and import
ant organs concerned, and makes them
strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic. It
cures the internal liberation and indamma-
ton that give rise to debilitating drain on

Overworked, rundown women.
About six years ago my wife became afflicted
with female weakness" writes the Rev. l. J.

in which she did not suffer great pain. She
despaired of ever again being well. She took six

Express Agent Arrested for Handling
Quail.-After the Hunters.
A Kingman telegram states that the
zeal of the sportsman is becoming dam
pened. OF late hunting parties have
ruthlessly been killing quail. Of which
there are large numbers around Klngman,
with no regard for the game law. The
other day a stranger expressed box of
merchandise from Kingman, consigning
1t to st. Louis. State Game Warden
Shultz held it up at Wichita, and on ex-
animation it was found to contain dead
quail. The expressman mas been arres-
ted, and a detective is trying to deter
mine who the shipper was. Shipments
have not been made only from Kingman,
but from Anthony, Haven, Caldwell and
other points.

(By VIM. Woodhouse, Jr.)
In town not \ thousand miles from
New York is an advertising manager
who insists that whenever bargains are
offered good reasons for the lowering Of
the prices shall be inserted in the adver-
tisement. The proprietor is with him
heart and soul, and always insists that
the real reason shall be given.
If goods are cut because they are shelf
worn, he says so; if because they are out
of style, he says so; if because he simply
wants to get rid of them, he says 60.
Whatever may be the reason, that reason
is stated. There are merchants in that
same town-successfu ones, too-who
differ with him. They say it's best not
to advertise the bargains, and let the
people find out the wherefore when the
store is reached. These merchants are
honest, am positive, and would not de-
fraud buyer out of a single cent. They
simply are afraid if they advertise the
defect that people won't buy.
And this is just where they are wrong.
There ale always buyers who will
jump at a bargain, and who are smart
enough to know that there must be some
good reason why the prices are lowered.
They don't care if the goods are tribe
mussed, or shop-worn, or out Of style !;
they're not sticklers for fashion, and y
good reason for the price cutting satisfies
them. The aforementioned advertis-
ing manager aud storekeeper are just
shrewd enough to know this. The con.
sequence is that whatever bargains are
offered are sold-sold quickly, too, as .
rule. There isn't store in that town so
entirely free from has-beens and out Of
dates, nor one that possesses firmer
friends. Whatever store news 1t prints
is believed in implicitly.

The following letter has been received :
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. Is, 1897.
DODGE CITY TINES,
Dodge City, Kas.
GENTLEMEN: In the criminal court
this morning 1 was requested by the
Court to defend one William Hamilton
Calf, who was charged with false pre-
tense and forgery. When on the stand
giving his testimony he said at one time
he was famous geologist snd man of
great learning, and that few knew him
as the originator of the saying ITO see q
white horse upon looking around you
will always see red headed girl" This
story. he says, was written first by him in
1872 and given to your paper, which was
Immediately afterwards copied by all the
papers in the country. We all know
very well this saying, but were very
much surprised in Allegheny county to
find we had the man in our midst who
originated it. Will you kindly let us
know If this man, William Hamilton
Gait, wrote such story and gave it to
your paper in the year mentioned, az it
is matter of curiosity which we would
be very much pleased to have satisfied.
may say In conclusion that the jury
acquitted this man of the Indictment
against him upon the ground of insanity.
An answer would oblige.
Yours very truly,
HARRY III. ROWAND.
The Dodge City Times was not estab-
lished until June, 1876. The saying is
many years old, and it is doubtful who
originated it.

Thursday morning John Beard, with

was about four hours late, the 9O2 miles
being covered in one minute les than
four hours.
Passenger Traffic On the western roods
il rapidly increasing. Late reports show
that recent earnings are fer in advance
Of those Of the corresponding period Of
last year. The improvement noted IL
not confined to any particular class of
business. 1t is pretty equally divided
between local and through traffic.
We may expect soon to see the advent
of steel freight cars. Steel cars can be
made lighter than wooden cars OF tho
same capacity, and more paying load
can be hauled in Q train Of the same
gross weight. Fewer cars would be re-
quired and for a given load the train
would be shorter, requiring fewer men to
handle and care for the rolling stock.
