Cashed Bogus Checks.

A well dressed lady with plenty OF
nerve and two S25 checks, worked the
old game on two furniture establish
ments of this city Saturday afternoon.
She went into the furniture store Of
George Weiser, bought a $40 chair and
gave the check in payment therefor, a
check for $25 on Parkersburg bank.
gave the clerk in payment therefor a
her by her husband as a Christmas
present, and ordered the chair deliver
ed at 2OS Putnam street, Monday
morning.
The clerk, unsuspecting, gave her the
difference, $15, in money and she left
the store. She worked the same game
at Stanley C Grasss store, making a
$3.50 purchase there and receiving
$3.50 in money.
The goods were taken on Monday to
the place where they were ordered to
be delivered, but the woman was un-
known there. Further search for her
was frultless and when the facts were
reported at the store suspicion was
aroused. A telephone message to the
Parkersburg bank on which the checks
were drawn developed the fact that
neither the drawer nor drawee had any
funds there, nor were they known to
the bank people.
The matter was reported to Marshal
Dye, who has undertaken to find out
who the lady was who so successfully
worked an old time game. The wom-
and is described as being a heavy set,
an dis described as being heavy set,
good looking person.

Well Remembered.

Messrs. Davis, Mccormick & Hol-
dren, proprietors Of the Bellevue Ho-
tel, did the handsome thing by their
employees Christmas by presenting
each member of the large force with a
Christmas present of substantial ra-
ture. 1t has been the custom of the
management of this popular house for
several years past to remember the
help at Christmas time, and the force
appreciates the attention to the fullest
degree.

Wanton DESTRUCTION.

Henry Theis is looking for the per-
son who played him a very scurvy
trick Monday night. He left his very
necessary tricycle. in the entrance way
between the post Office and the Star
Clothing House while he was upstairs
playing for a dance. When he came
below stairs he found his tricycle. in an
entirely altered condition. Someone
had broken the front forks, the tire
had been pulled off the front wheel,
the tire otherwise generally abused.
Such treatment is too mean TO credit
to the worst kind of vandal, and we
hope Mr.. Theis may succeed i'm run

About year ago Underwood & Lu-
dey brought suit in the United States
Court of Claims for damages to real es-
tate caused by change of current in the
Ohio river at Reno by reason of the
erection of the dam at the head of the
island.
The plaintiffs in these cases are
George M, Harsha, of Reno, and the
heirs at law of the late Jacob Hender-
Shot, and the damages claimed are
$1,000 and $3.50 respectively. The
plaintiffs allege that since the dam
was built the current has been thrown
to this side and made swlfter, so that
the bank has been washed away to a
distance of 10 or 12 rods back from its
former position.
Teh cases have been pending. now al

weeks dispositions will be taken at the
office of Underwood G Ludey, in this
city, by Underwood & Ludey for the
plaintiffs and Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Button, of Washington, d. c., in

These cases will be watched with in
terest, as they present rather a new
cause for damages, only two such cases
having been previously brought, Be
Side that, there are number of SINH
lar cases about to be brought for
parties living above the city, and also
for the city of Marietta, as mentioned
in the Leader some time ago.

The story of love is as old as the world,
and as all embracing as the universe. It
furnishes the sentiment for all romances-
all novels-all plays.
The novelist considers it wholly from the
sentimental, intellectual side, but there is
another aspect even more important--the
physical side. Sentimental love between
men and women leads to close physical as
sociation-to marriage-to the rearing of
children. And so health must be consid
cred. weak, sickly, head-achey, back
achey woman cannot be a good, helpful
wife. She cannot bear healthy happy
children. She cannot give her children
the proper care aud training.
A sick woman has no right to marry. A
sick woman has no right to attempt moth
erhood.
But no woman need be sick unless af-
flicted with cancer. There is sure way
for her to regain her health. She need not
go to local doctor and submit to the dis

DR.. X. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y, has
