Women Take a Hand.

When women take a hand in the war,
the war ia going to be lively.
France has begun to show her teeth in
the Spanish affair, but she was soon
called down.
We did not call a cabinet meeting and
address a note to France, but we got at
her a great deal quicker.
The patriotic rich women OF New York
and Washington met and by resolution
decided not to purchase another dollars
worth OF French goods.
1t took France just about twenty-four
hours to consider herself called down.
The nex,day the French press changed
its tone and in the language Of the street

A Distressing Accident.

A distressing accident happened Mon
day about noon, to FL. G. Short, OF the
firm Of Short Bros, at the Wadsworth

the stick twisted and brought his left
hand in contact with the saw. His in
dex finger was amputated near the
knuckle joint and one joint of the second

Drs. Jackman and Kistler and is now

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.
From the Fairhaven IN. " Registe,

From the Fairhaven IN. W Register.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his wife
has been a sufferer from rheumatism.
A few nights ago she was in such pain
that she was nearly crazy. She sent
Mr.. Rowland for the doctor, but he had
read of cha berlain's Pain Balm and
instead of going for the physician he
went to the store and secured a bottle of
it. His wife did not approve OF
Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the Balm thorough
ly and in an hours time was able 10 go
to sleep. She now applies it whenever
she feels an ache or a pain and finds
that it always gives relief. He says that
no medicine which she had used ever
did her as much good. The % and SO

Tie ball game Sunday between
Schntz's Colts and Claws Kittens was
witnessed by about 200 people. They
were paid for visiting the grounds by
seeing one of the liveliest games of the
season and everybody was entertained
by the plays and incidents. The Colts
won by two tallies and pandemonium
rpigned when it looked as if the Kittens
were going to take the laurels. Lack OF
space in this issue forbids an extended
description of the game. Ed. Short says
he wants to play Wadsworth against
Lovelock pretty soon. We might get a
special rate on the railroad and pay the
Lovelockers expenses down here for II
game.

put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to he II constitutional disease, and, there
lore, requires constitutional treatment.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF Figs

lnE EACELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the car and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIs SYRUP
Co. only. and we wish to impress upon
all the importance Of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
%nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

A Horse as m Orersecr.

On Sunday mover in prairie
schooner passed through Parsons.
Kan, going West He had a small
drove of mules and several horses, all
loose, following the wagon, and
among them was a beautiful sorrel
horse. with bride aud saddle on, but
no rider. People on the streets no.
ticed that the sorrel seemed to be
overseeing the herd and would round
them up occasionally. AS the caravan
reached Central avenue the sorrel
horse ran ahead and stood in the mid
die of the street, looking up and down,
as if watching for danger. After sat
isfying himself that the way was clear
he rounded up the herd and the cara
van started again.
Having reached the "Katy" cross
ing, the animal again went ahead, and
standing in the centre of the tracks,
looked intently each way.
When the herd had partially crossed
the tracks he suddenly pricked up his
ears, and hurrying to the rear, he
rushed the herd across on the run. A
train was coming from the south, and
passed shortly after he had got safely
over.
He hurried to the next track, which
branches off several rods from the
main line, and seeing a train coming
from the opposite direction, rounded
mp his herd and waited until it
passed. 1t was most remarkable
performance, witnessed by n large
number of people on the streets. The
horse was evidently high bred ami
NAL, built like racer, with small
ears and very intelligent head.
During all this time the mover did
not get out of the wagon, but left the
management of the whole matter to
the horse.

of The general level showed the trace
of still another canon, parallel to tho
course he had ridden that day, run
ming to the valley of White River.
He was between two ravines, and the
Sioux were doubtless in both OF them.
Arson saw no way left but to make
his race down the divide; so he turned
his horse directly toward White River
and galloped on for dear life. The
savages intended to catch him either
while crossing one of these ravines or
at the mouth of it. They were prob
ably in advance, but he might still
get ahead by burst of speed.
The country, growing rougher as he
approached the river valley, made
hard running for his pony, but he
kept little Buckskin at his best pace
for the next twenty minutes, and then
plunged down into the broad level
land with deep relief. as he had left
the mouths of the canons on either
hand. Again he felt that strange
sense of having been befriended by
Providence, and now his hope to
reach home rose high.
He had not ridden 500 yard into
the valley when he heard faint yells.
Turning, he saw the enemy come tear
ing out of the nearest canon. On
seeing him they shouted defiance and
disappointment, and fired scattering
shots as theg rode along the slope of
the bluff. When he dismounted to
answer them, they hurried back to
the mouth of the ravine.
Arson rode on again, and saw no
more of the savages, and he did not
encounter any others that afternoon.
He crossed White River, made his
way safely through the cavernous
and PERCEPTIONS breaks upon the other
side, and camped to rest himself and
his weary pony.
That night, as he had now no pro-
vision for a ride directly across the
country, he made detour aud reached
the stage road to Sidney. From
there he took the longer and safer
route home, which he finally reached
to find that his wife and surviving
child were entirely recovered
