A LAW POINT RAISED.
A Delay Secured in the Lottery Case
AGAINST All Mat

All Mat was arraigned in the police
court yesterday on two charges, one of
conducting lottery joint and another
Of selling lottery tickets. Horace Ap-
pei, acting as counsel for the Mongolian,
raised the point Of law that "a defendant
cannot be arraigned on two complairts
at the same time when. both charges are
for committing the same offerse. He
argued that inasmuch as Ah Mat was ar
rested on a charge of conducting a lot
terry, this offense naturally would in
clude the other offense, of selling lottery
tickets. The court considered the point
we'll taken, and ordered that the COM
plants be changed so that the defend
ant will be arraigned on only one offense
at time.

is largely for the purpose of catching insects. It is probable that the red head fully compensates for the damage done by sapsucking. in consuming so many insects"
 The kingbird comes in for a word of praise. He is distinctly a fly catcher and takes large portion of his food on the wing. The kingbird also watches the trees closely, and gathers in all sorts of insects. This bird has been suspected of catching honey bees; but dozen kingbirds near his hives, and found not a single bee in any one of their stomachs. Therefore be con cludes that the kingbird is guiltless of this charge; modified by the fact that in various parts of the country 14 king birds were killed, and 40 drone bees were found in their stomachs. Isn't that wonderful? How in the realm of intelligence could those birds know that the drones were proper prey, while the working bees and queens must be spared?
 The meadow lark is complimented because of the fact that it feeds al- most wholly upon insects. In 238 stcmachs examined, it was discovered that 73 per cent. of the food of the birds consisted of insects alone. 1t nests on the ground, and walks about with dainty step. knowing that it is well come visitor and therefore not in fear of human assault. The meadow lark is wholly beneficial, and is not guilty of the common charge of pulling sprout- ing grain. Itloves fat bugs and beetles, and takes grasshoppers and caterpil- lars also, whenever they can be found. Even when the ground is covered with snow. this bird finds insects somehow, and does not seek the granaries. 1t is a very skillful insect catcher.

Encouraging Statistics.

The Baltimore and Ohio officials are very much pleased with certain statistics that have recently been prepared of the per formance of freight trains on the Second division, which handles all the east and west-bound traffic between Baltimore and Cumberalnd. Before the new freight en. zines were purchased, and the improvements made in the track in the way of straighten- ing curves and reducing grades, the average number of cars to the train was 28 l-2. Now, with more powerful and modern motive power and better track, the average is 40 cars per train, an increase of 4l per cent. The average east-bound movement per day for the first ten days of August was l,l23 loaded cars. On the Third division, Cum berland to Grafton, where there are grades of l25 feet to the mile, the engines used to haul l9 1-2 loads to the train. Now the average is 25 2-3 loads per train, an increase of 3l per cent. It would certainly appear that the money spent in improvements on the B. and o. is being amply justified, and that the cost of operation is being very ma terially reduced.

Out of the Gratitude of His Heart, nfr. John McMillan Tells n Reporter How He was Cured of Most
 Terrible Suffering.
From the Capital, St. John. Kansas.

From the Capital, St. John, Kansas.
 Your correspondent in an interview with Mir. John McMillan, who resides at St. John, Kansas, elicited the following information concerning the wonderful curative proper ties contained in Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
 Mr. McMillan said:
 'In the fall of 1894, with another man, decided upon a hunting expedition into the Indian Territory. Accordingly, we started south late in the fall. The weather was damp and cold, and we were compelled to sleep on the ground with nothing but a tent for protection. The exposure, coupled with the bad water, which in that county con- tains great quantity of alkali aLl gypsum, caused me to contract bad case of kidney trouble and rheumatism, something l had never known before. After remaining in the Territory for several months and con tinuing to grow worse, 1 concluded the best thing for me to do was to come home, which proceeded to do, but became worse.
 "I tried several remedies without avail. My nights were spent in sleeplessness and misery, and became convinced that | must have help immediately. Some one told me the benefits they had derived from Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills, and I determined to give them trial, which I did, and can truth fully assert to you that their action was magical. From the first dose I commenced improving and twas but short time until all pain had left me, and felt entirely well. What is more, l have never had a recur- renee of my trouble from the time of my re- covery until the present time. I can eer- tainly recommend Dr. Williams Pink Pills as one of the best medicines on the market, if not the best"
 In conclusion, Mir. McA1ilIan asked us if we intended making his statement public, and upon our affirmative reply he remarked that he was perfectly satisfied, as he had often contemplated doing so himself, as he considered it duty he owed to suffering humanity.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain, in condensed form, ali the clements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as loco motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism ner- vous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and saflow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents box or six boxes for s250, by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

reading the professors story about are plenty of men who have much less sense, and who might we'll study the common birds and their methods of getting on in the world.
 In the scientific study of common birds there has been many murder committed. Field observation is not sufficient for man, because he cannot discern the details of the workings of the birds. In order to obtain accurate and reliable information, man loads his shot gun, goes out into the field and shoots down a number of these innocent canpibals. For what purpose? Simply to take each dead bird and examine his stomach. The scientist can then learn what food the birds subsist upon, and hence can determine whether or not they are friends or foes of the husband man. It is generally discovered that the common birds are the friends of the farmers, and are destroying his insec- tivorous enemies. This discovery hav- ing been made in each case, the farmers are informed of the result of the inves- tigation, and thereafter the shotgun Is dispensed with. So the killing of a few birds results in saving the lives of thousands of others.
 The professor says that cuckoos are much given to eating caterpillars, and do not object to their hair, as many h ,i,.H 1n ho ( so many hairy caterpillars that the hairs pierce the inner Things of their stomachs; and when they are opened and turned inside out, the cuckoo stom- achs seem to be lined with thin coat ing of fur, which appears to be part of the stomach itself. Nature provides for continued digestion, just the same.
 While the scientific slaughter of cuckoos was going on, 16 of the birds were examined, and the result shows that they had all been diligently en- gagged in helping the farmers of their neighborhood. The 16 stomachs showed the remains of 32S caterpillars, II beetles, Is grasshoppers, 63 saw flies, four spiders, and three stink bugs. Those were industrious birds, and they were doing their best for their farmer friends, when they were ruthlessly shot down for scientific investigation. Just think of it! There were BPS caterpillars, many of them in the larva stage. But fol those cuckoos all of those caterpil- lars would have been working on the leaves of trees; and they prefer apple trees. Of the 63 saw flies, 60 were in the larva stage.
 Investigation demonstrates tha. farmers should do their best to culti- yate woodpeckers. They leave no marks on healthy trees. On the contrary they unerringly trail down the wood-boring larva, and dislodge and devour them.
 The official bulletin has good word also for the red-headed woodpecker. It is admitted that this bird is guilty of tapping trees and drinking the sap. It has been discovered, however, that very few trees are seriously injured; although some have died within year or two, after being sapped by these ~ed-headed fellows. The professor says, however. that "the bird captures millions of insects which are attracted by the sweet sap, and the tree tapping

By no means. Persons of herculean build frequently possess a minimum of genuine vigor, and exhibit less endurance than very small people. Real vigor means the ability to digest and sleep well, and to perform a mental labor without unnatural fatigue. It is because a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters enables the enfeebled dyspeptic to resume the allotted activity of every day life as we'll as to participate without discomfort in it's enjoyments, that it is such a pre- eminently useful medicine.
