cHIDED HER MOTHERS Spirit.
Practical Young Woman Didn't Want
to Be Aroused Mt Night,
Americas Greatest Medicine.

to Be Aroused ut Night.
Kansas City has at least one young mar
ried woman who takes very prosaic view
of ghosts and so-called spirit manifestations.
She was forced to spend night alone in a
St. Louis hotel, her husband being detained
elsewhere by business. In the dead of the
night she was awakened out of sound sleep
by tremendous noise in the wardrobe. It
was such a sudden and unearthly uproar
that the woman, sensible and practical
thong h she was, was frightened. The noise
ceased, then returned. The woman jumped
up, lighted the gas, and made thorough
search both of the wardrobe and the room.
There was nothing so far as the evidence of
the senses went which could account for the
racket. The woman put out the light and
went back to bed. The noise was not re-
peated.
Six months afterward, however, the
woman was in San Francisco, and for the
first time in her life, and solely out of Gu
rlosity, she attended Spiritualistic meet
ing, Almost Immediately the medium, a
perfect stranger, turned to her and said:
The spirit of your mother is present, mad
am, and she says that six months ago mann
ing the precise date) she tried to comnluni-
cate cal with you by means of the wardrobe in
the Blank hotel, St. Louis"
The woman's practical good sense did not
desert her.
II, ,"Well, you just tell my mother" she said.
that the next time she wants to communi-
cate with me not to make such an awful rack
ct IN the dead of night and frighten me half
out OF my senses."-Chicago Chronicle.

BIG BOND SUBSCRIPTION.
Proposals for the New Government
Loan of $2OO,OOO,OOO Aggregate
$79O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, July 2.-Inquiries at the
treasury department elicit the Informal
ton that the total proposals for the
new government loan of $200,00O,OO
aggregate S79o,0oo,0oo. Of this amount
there have been received and absolutely
accepted subscriptions for amounts of
$500 and less, $4o,ooo,o00.
Subscriptions in amounts over $500,
subject to future allotment, $25O,OOO,-
900.
A proposal for a round lot at pre-
MUM of one per cent, $100,ooo,ooO.
Two syndicate propositions for any
part or all of the bonds offered, $780,
100000 each, $400,o00,O00.
These syndicate offers and this offer
for bonds at premium are not in the
regular form, although they came
from entirely responsible sources, and
no allotment will be made in either
case. 1t is expected that heavy SUBJ
scriptions will increase in number with
the beginning of the new month. Saw
ings bank deposits will probably be
realized to a considerable amount as
the six months interest period is July /
and Withdrawals now can be made bv
the depositors without sacrificing any
interest.

:, At rare. intervals the moon peeped
through the pillows of a sea of fieecy
clouds and cast sickly beams across the
path of form which was walking slowly
and steadily in country graveyard. The
figure stole furtive glances about him as
ne crept to the grave of man who had
died on the ga3Illo%s on Friday; Just as the
clock was tolling the midnight hour the
form fell PROSTATE on the grave, uttering
not sound. Almost in an instant the
figure arose. Taking a knife from his
pocket, he made a single, rapid cut, and
turned to leave the place. 4 moonbeam
revealed look of ghoulish glee on his
countenance.
"Halt!"
The figure stopped.
"Who goes there?"
"yist a poah niggah."

discloses the identity of the men.

The Yukon river is open and the ar
gonauts will soon be returning. Their
coming will revive interest in the Klon-
dixie and in the question whether or not
the gold crop" has been failure.
Opinions differ upon this subject, but
even with the most optimistic last years
expectations are at discount, and
there's no reason to expect recurrence
of the gold fever epidemic. Not only
has the public something else to think
about, but sober second thought on the
klondike question has convinced all
that in that country it is not as easy to
find gold as it is to find pneumonia.

until last October, I felt sometime
terrible creeping over me, knew no5
what, but kept getting worse. 1 can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was so depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although
had everything to live for. Had hvs-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, I thought would lose NV
mind. No one knows what endured.
II continued this way until the last;
OF February, when I saw in paper a.
testimonial of lady whose case was
similar. to mine, and who had hoen
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veeeta-
BILE Compound. determined to try it.
and felt better after the first dose. 7
