Priceless Pain

"Ifa price can be placed on pain, Mothers
Friend Is worth It's weight in gold as an allevi-
ator. NV wife suffered more in ten minutes with
either OF her other two children than she did al
together with her last, having previously used
four bottles of Mothers Friend. 1t Is blessing
to any one expecting to become mother" says
a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
Of Carmi, ILL.,, to the Bradheld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ga, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniinent may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier 1t
Is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it. but greatly di1nin-
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

An action for damages brought by
the T. Lovett Company Roller Mills,
of Berryville, against George W. Wyn-
koop, Jr., farmer of Clarke county,
was decided in favor of the plaintiff
last week. The case grew out Of the
failure of the defendant to deliver
$50 bushels of wheat which the plain
tiff claimed to have purchased of him
on April % last. The plaintiff claimed
an unconditional purchase at 99i cents
a bushel, the wheat to be delivered
within two weeks. The defendant, on
the other hand, claimed sale condl-
toned upon his ability to deliver the
wheat within the time specified. In
the meantime the price of wheat adj
vanced to $1.29 bushel. Wynkoop
failed to deliver the wheat, and event
ually sold to another man at 9l.30'
The evidence in the case was most con-
Aicting, so much so that at the former
trial in July, the jury was unable to
agree. At the term just closed, after
holly contested legal battle, the jury
found for theplaintitf, giving damages
in the sum of $7437, the difference in
the price at which the wheat was con-
tracted to be delivered and the high
est price wheat reached before the ex-
piration Of the two weeks.

"Of course I do"
well, you know that, although a
very pretty and attractive girl, she IS
still unmarried, and lately she wrote TO
one of the girls that she was rapidly
approaching that horrid anniversary,
her thirtieth birthday, and that she in
tended TO celebrate 1t by indulging in
lachrymal below all day. Her friend
was much moved with compassion for
her lorn condition, and wrote to thirty
of her classmates that Florence had
written her to that effect, and asked
each one to send her a handkerchief to
assist her in the fearful operation. So,
owing to her quick wit, Florence's
thirtieth birthday. instead of being a
time of mourning, proved most joyful
occasion. for she received thirty pretty
handkerchiefs. each enclosed in low
ing epistle, and it showed her that her
friends loved her none the less for
her thirty years.-W ashington Post.

THE CosUMNEs SHOOTING.
John Green on Trial for Killing (,
Ch;namau

All of yesterdays session in Judge
Hart's court was consumed in securing
a jury in the case of John II. Green,
the colored man who is charged with
the murder of a Chinaman near Co.
sumnes a couple of months ago.
Green was employed on the Coons
ranch, and claimed to have seen the
Chinaman just leaving Robert Coons'
house during the latter's absence. His
story was that he suspected the China
man Of stealing. or possibly of poison
ing food in the house, and on his refus-
al to stop when called on, he (Green)
fired a shot to intimidate him, but
the bullet struck and killed him. A
few days prior to this a Chinaman had
poisoned Coons' brother Frank and
tried to poison Green.
It is said the prosecution expects
to be able to prove that the shooting
was a wanton act, and that the China
man had not been at the Coons house
at all. District Attorney Ryan is con-
Quoting the prosecution, and the pris-
oner is defended by J. c. Marsh and
H. L. Buckley.

REPEATING A FAKE.
Newspaper Stories That Are Civ
ing Much Offense.

Miss Rowena Reed, daughter of the
late c. W. Reed of Washington, Yolo
County, feels greatly annoyed at the
freedom with which certain newspa-
pers have used her name in connection
with alleged athletic achievements.
Yesterdays San Francisco papers
contained a dispatch from New York
that was word for word like one sent
out eight months ago, telling of the
wonderful things that Miss Reed had
just done at Vassar College in the
way of high jumping, running, etc.
The truth is, Miss Reed has been
at her mothers home in the village Of
Washington, across the river, for more
than three months. While at Vassar
College last year she was awarded
the first prize in the physical culture
class, just as other girls had before,
and that is all there is to it. She is a
modest, retiring young lady, makes no
pretensions to being an athelete, and is
deeply mortified over the fakes that
have been published concerning her.

AU SABLE CHASM.
Experiences Which Caused a Mans
Hair to Turn White.

One pitch black night about ten years
after the storm that had demolished
the bridge stranger drew up his horse
in front of the tavern at Au Sable
Forks. 1t was about 10 o'clock, and
the taproom was Well filed with viii
layers drinking, smoking and playing
cards. The entrance of a stranger,
says the Chicago Times Herald, ;"
caused the usual commotion, and as he
sat in one corner eating a hastily pre-
pared supper he was the cynosure of all
eyes. After the meal the host, as was
the custom. engaged the stranger in
conversation.
Dark, nasty night outside, sir?"
Yes, pretty black"
Have any trouble in finding your
way?"
"Oh, no; used to live in this neigh
borhood twenty years ago"
80? Well, you'll find things pretty
we'll changed since you left
Yes, I expect so. The old bridge is
still standing, though, and l am glad
of that, for L helped to build it,
THE old bridge?" questioned the tav-
ern keeper, and every one in the room
looked UP in amaZement.
why, yes" rejoined the stranger;
'the bridge across the chasm down the
road a half mile"
What! Are you crazy?" shouted the
host. There is no bridge across the
Au Sable; there has been no bridge
| there for the last ten years"
But you are mistaken, my friend; /
rode my horse across it not three-quar-
ters of an hour ago"
Impossible, sir; I tell you that the
bridge blew down ten years ago"
Again 1 tell you, my friend, that 1
rode across it this very night" was the
inlperturbable answer TT was too
dark for me to see, but I heard the
| clatter of my horses feet on the plank
ing, and the noise of the water in the
chasm below"
The argument waxed warmer and
warmer until the stranger said that
they would wait until the next morn
ing, when it could easily be settled II
there was a bridge or not. He made a
| wager with the landlord that it was
still standing across the chasm.
The next morning every man, woman
and child of Au Sable Forks was at
the chasm. Sure enough in the soft
prints Of a horse, and the trail led from
the stringer across the chasm up to the
tavern porch. One young daredevil
walked across the narrow stringer and
made startling discovery.
There was a similar trail on the other
side!
The stranger had told the truth. In
the darkness of the night his horse
had crossed the chasm on a single beam.
But that was not the strangest part
of the story When that forenoon the
stranger rode down to the Au Sable
chasm to settle his wager with the
keeper of the tavern and he saw the
perilous path over which he had trav-
eled the night before, it is said that
he was stricken with a trembling that
never left his limbs until death, and
that within the space of sixty seconds
his hair turned from a jet black to the
color of the driven snow.
