Chief Bixby's Property.

Chief Of Police Frank A. Bixby was ex-
amined before Judge Green In the district
court yesterday morning as to his property
and the disposition Of money belonging to
the Sterling Manufacturing company alleged
to have been in his possession at the time
the company removed him from the agency
at this point. At the August term Of the
district court here the Sterling Manufac-
turing company obtained a judgment against
Bixby for 81 $40. which has never been salts
fed and the examination yesterday was at
the request Of the company.
Bixby testified that on quitting the COM
pany's service on July 10, 1897, he had cash
on hand belonging to the company $972.65.
from which was to be deducted $3.50. the
amount Of his salary for the month Of July.
That Of this money belonging to the COM
pany he had loaned 5000 to his brother, who
had paid 1t back after several months.
After the money had been repaid by his
brother he had used It for personal pur-
poses.
When asked what had become OF the
balance Of $22.65 Bixby testified that be-
tween August 1, 1897, and January 1. 1898,
he had used 1t in defraying his living and
household expenses. He further testified
that at present he had no money belong
Ing to the company or Of his own except
the sum Of $35. the balance Of his last
months salary as chief of police and city
marshal. He amended this by saying there
might be q little to his credit in the safe
at the city Jail after the fines had been
taken out.
He also testified that he had no property,
real or personal, and when asked about
his home testified that it belonged to his
wife. On being further questioned as to his
hama he nI~lAk-l AAzA T. - -
the place by deciding land for 1t, but that
he had had the deed made out in his wife's
name. He testified that his wife had not
put any money into the home Of her own.
This testimony as to his home completed
the examination.

A Case of Memory.

The serenader stopped beneath the win
dow. He unslung his guitar and touched its
strings softly and lovingly. Then he looked
about the dark shadows of the garden and
along the line of fence that marked the
street end Of the handsome premises.
Nothing was in sight.
Looking again at the window, the youth
ran his fingers swiftly across the strings,
and then, lifting up his head and opening his
mouth until the moonlight glittered on his
teeth, he began in a shrill tenor:
"Oh, don't you remember"
But he got no further.
The window above suddenly opened and
a large, heavily-framed engraving of the
battleship Maine was dropped from within
and fell squarely on the singers head.
ooh, we remember all right" shouted a
hoarse voice from above.
And the startled singer gathered himself
together and sadly and painfully went his
way.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, is remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter encouragement. She
says:
"Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
Some years ago Ihad womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times 1
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, l felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. l can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. 1 was SO depressed in spirits
that 1 did not wish to live, although 1
had everything to live for. Had hvs-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, 1 thought would lose nv
mind. No one knows what 1 endured.
continued this way until the last
of February, when l saw in paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
Eimilar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vereta-
bic Compound. / determined to try it.
and felt better after the first dose. |
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
heart, Thank God for such a medi-
cine"
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass,
for advice. All such letters are seen
and answered by women only.
