Forgeries Charged.

Florence Pringlc, of Washington
county, Ala, has filed suit at Mobile,
Ala, alleging that in the recent di-
vorce granted her husband in the chan
Gerry court in Mobile all the papers,
save the bill of complaint. were for
geries. Her husband accused her Of
adultery with man she has never
seen, and testimony was taken in the
form of dispositions, which were made
out of the whole cloth, the parties
named declaring they never were
asked to make dispositions and never
made any, while the commissioner APP
pointed by the court to take the deposi-
tions never heard of the appointment,
nor signed any of the papers bearing
his name, on the strength of which ii
divorce was granted to Pringle. The
divorce was sued for and obtained with.
out Mrs. Pringle knowing anything
about it. She asks that the decree be
set aside.

Union county, Ky, were playing hide
and seek" with three other young
girls of the nelghborhood, and
during the pastime the little sis
tiers had entered the cellar. Seeing
a large old-fashioned trunk in one
corner they raised the lid and jumped
inside, when the top fell and closed
with a tight spring-loek. All search
for Laura and Jennie proved fruitless.
At the time both parents were visit ing
at a neighbours, and did not return I'M
til their children had been immurcd
for three hours. \ rigid search was
instituted, but almost another hour
elapsed before the father thought oil
the old trunk. and when at length the
receptacle was opened both children

Kansas Now "BIeeding" Prosperity.

Tae following items from the Topeka l Capitol would indicate that prosperity had struck poor, down-tgodden, bleed ing, agricultural Kansas squsre in the face. The figures. too. sre furnished by a Popu!ist ofioe-holder who would be inclined to view the matter from the most pessimissic standpoint:
 Out at Great Bend the wheat excite menu beats anything experienced dur ing the boom days. Farmers are rush ing wheat, to the null and paying of theiR debts and piliDg up urheard of bank deposits. There is practically no demand for loans and the banks are writhiug under the iron heel of the prod uceF.
 "Farmers who have been fearing a break in the market can hold on 8 while logger. An astrological writer in shs Toledo Blade reports thas "the planet Venus will be in sextile aspect to Jupiter on the 19tb. which will certainly cause 8 good epurb in wheat" How ever, conjunction of Saturn and Uranus is coming, which will probably play hob with wheat early in October. The setrologer does not refer to silver, but it fakes no special knowledge of celestial matters to know that total eclipse of the white metal is liable to occur in September, when Mercury comes into conjunction with the red planet Mars An old-time board of trade man in New York, who wouldp't recognize Mars if he met it in the road, says wheat will be S1.25 in the spring.

Tha. Tired Feeling.

Is exceedingly common and danger ously signiicant. IL is a warning which must be needed, or, ss with the express train which fails to regard the danger signal, disaster must follow. It is sure indication of thin, weak and impure blood. It is certain admonition that the blood is not properly feeding the nerves, tissues and organs of the body.
 Weak, nervous, tired men and women are found every where. Men strive too 'keep their business up," women work 500 much Ion their nerves" all have too little sleep, there is excessive drain on strength ard re:vous energy, end all complain of that tired feeling. By purifying and vitilizing the blood, Hoods Ssrseperilla furnishes abundsnt supply of nourishment for every nerve, organ and tissue of the body. This fresh supply of nerve strength over comes nervousness; the new vigor in ths blood soon benishes that tired feel iog; the tone given the stomach creates an appitite, cures indigestion, bilious ness, dyspepsia.
