The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attrac-

constipation or kidney trouble, her
impure blood will cause pimples,
blotches, skin eruptions and wretched
complexion. Electric Bitters is the
best medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to pur-
ify the blood. 1t gives strong nerves,

His Encounter With the Cznr and

One of the stories of Peter the Great
which are current at the court of st.
Petersburg is of the great cZar's wres-
tling match with young dragoon.
Once in the imperial palacc-so the
story gocs-pcter was ut table with
Il great many princes and noblenen,
and soldiers We're posted within the
hall. The ear was in a joyous mood.
and, rising, called out to the company:
Listen, princes and boyars! Is there
among you one who will wrestle with
the czar?" There was no reply, and the
czar repeated the challenge.
No prince or nobleman dared to
wrestlc with his sovereign. But all at
once a young dragoon stepped out
from the ranks Of the soldiers on
guard. Listen, Orthodox czar," he
said. ~ will wrestle with thee"
"Well, young dragoon," said Peter, 81
will wrcstlc with thee, but on these
conditions: If thou throwest me, will
pardon thee; but, If thou art thrown
thou shalt be beheaded. Wilt thor
wrestle on those conditions?
81 will, great czar," said the soldier
They closed. and presently the soldier
with his laft arm threw the czar ant

falling to the ground. The sovereign
was clearly beaten. The car Offered
the soldier whatever reward lie SHOULD
claim. and he ignobly claimed th'
privilege of drinking free, as long a
lie lived, in all the inns belonging t,
the crown. What became of him his
tory does not say.

blessing the lady elevated her eyelids

The Fourth.

iAuekcAOcuCo udy WAS AOO cHCuuSA-
astically observed in Hot Springs, no
celebration having been arranged.
This was largely due to the fact that
Hot Springs had quite a celebration
during the G. A. r. encampment. A
large number of people were out of
town, many going to Horsehead, some
to G. M. Lamsons, a number to other
towns, while many were out with picnic
parties at some of the many surround
ing attractive spots.
In the afternoon the plunge attract
ed Il good sized crowd, where the Evans
orchestra furnished music and added
greatly to the pleasures of the plunge.
The occasion was enlivened somewhat
by some swimming contests, in which
Miss Sarah McLiman won the ladies'
race, and received Il 81 bath ticket; the
gentlemen's race was tic between
Homer Moore and A. Mattley, a $3.50
ticket being the prize; and George
Howell won the boys tub race, getting
one silver dollar. Considerable amuse-
ment was aroused over the contests.
In the evening there were numerous
private displays of fire works about
She city, making Il beautiful sight from
the hill tops.
AT Horsehead there was quite large
crowd, being about 800 in attendance,
and all had fine time Rev. Pearson
was the orator forthe occasion. There
were recitations and singing, and in
every way an enjoyable program. Ia
the afternoon there were some exciting
horse races. Dancing was then
enjoyed during the afternoon and late
into the night. Everybody had Il good
time.
The rain of the 3rd kept number
from going to Mr.. Lamsons, but those
who went there report Il happy time.
Zone who was there hands the STAR
the following account:
"Quite number of people from Hot
Springs went to G. NJ. Lamson's, on
Hat Creek to spend the 4th. Among
them were L. S. Ames, wife and family;
+. NJ. Stewart, wife ond family; Mrs
Goddard, Mrs. Burton, G. L. Jensen
wife and family; Mrs. Vanatta, Doctor
Lowe, Mr.. Skinner, DIR. Milliken, wife
and family. Rigs were furnished by
Mr.. Jensen. The tally-ho started with
its load July 3rd. Mr.. Wagner, of the
Home, was driver. Ames and Stewart
acted as bottle holders till the bottom
of the bottle was sighted, then things
went wrong and the tally-ho upset

nenied the canteen at army posts,
where the men were allowed their beer
in moderation, the soldiers simply went
outside the lines, which naturally re-
suited in the growth of a fringe Of low
dives al d doggerels on the outskirts of
camp, initely more harmful than
any number of we'll regulated canteens
within the lines. In the latter the men
are not permitted to drink more than
is good for them, but in the absence of
the canteen within, it is but step out
side the lines and there, free of irk-
some restraint, they naturally go to ex-
cesses. Hence, after thorough study Of
the situation and taking the advice of
officers of long experience the canteen
is. permitted to stay, which seems to be
a wise decision, if only on the lesser-of-

THE ELKs' SUCCESSFUL SHOW.

To say that the big Midway show
on the Island under the auspices of
those fine, jolly boys, the Elks, is a
success up to date is to put it mildly.
1t draws like a three-ringed circus,
And it's great deal more interesting.
The affair was we'll advertised and
yesterday and last night the great
Midway of the Oriental Street Fair
was thronged.
1t was the opening day and more
visitors and a much larger attendance
may be confidently expected during the
remainder of the week
AS the programme is varied and
changed every day, most of those VINO
go once will probably go again and
keep on going until the end of the
week, providing the weather does not
cut up ugly. Certainly most everybody
can afford to go, for the admission is
but dime.
The boys deserve their success.
They have worked hard for it and have
gone to great expense and risk to give
a really fascinating show.
Go once and you will go the rest of
the week.

COUNCIL AND THE TELEPHONE COM
PANIES.

While the people of this city are
naturally in favor of all the competi-
ton possible in the telephone business,
they are emphatically opposed to
granting any more blanket permits by
the Board of Public Works for the in
discriminate tearing up of the public
streets and alleys. Especially, no
telephone, telegraph or electric light
company should hereafter be granted
franchise except upon condition that
its wires be placed underground. As
in the case of the Bell Company, it has
long ago been demonstrated that the
fine promises of these concerns amount
to nought unless they are backed by
binding ordinance capable of rigid en-
forcement
The action of the Council Committee
on Ordinances the other evening in
voting to grant another practical carte
blanc franchise, which would multiply
and perpetuate the very evils of which
the community is striving to rid itself,
to do which the committee was forced
to turn down the advice of it's own law
officer, the City SOLICITOR capable
lawyer and unbiased officials in
eXplieable on any ground of common
sense, reason, or regard for the welfare
of the city.
The astounding nature of that action
was accentuated by the same commit
tees refusal at the same time to con-
slider the application of another COM
pany which not only offered better
credentials than the National Com
pany, but agreed to accept the ordin-
ance as the City Solicitor proposed to
amend it and to abide by every condi-
ton asked by the people, which the
representatives of the National Com
pany fought SO strenuously.
Why was not this company admit
ted? Why was its application utterly,
completely ignored and the decidedly,
glaringly inferior proposition of the
National Company accepted What
member of the Ordinance Committee
will satisfactorily explain this and
solve the enigma that is at present
causing more or less perplexity in the
minds of the uninitiated public? The
action of the committee, to put it
mildly, has a bad look and certainly
needs to be explained to the perplexed
people, whose interests they are sworn
to guard
Every day brings us communications
on this subject from disinterested par
ties, or whose interest is only that of
public spirited citizens, wanting to
know the why and wherefore of the
committees astounding action.
Will the gentlemen at the city hall
deign to answer the main point of
these pressing queries?

FOUND HIM GUILTY.
Complicated Case Closed at GAINESVILLE
A Bible Gives Two Kinds of Evidence.

Special to the Register.
EVANSVILLE, O., June 26.-The
jury in the case of the State against
Mortimer Bash, charged with the rape
of Alice Rush, returned a verdict of
guilty this morning, after being out So
hours. This is the same case in which
the jury disagreed ten days ago be-
cause the principal witness for the
State was Alice Rush, and while on
the stand she admitted to having lied
in regard to the crime charged.
She admitted that their criminal re-
lations were with her consent, but the
plea of her inability to consent was
put up, the claim being made that she
was only IA years of age. The Bible
introduced to prove her age seems to
be a fake. Parties swore to her name,
aga etc, being written in it two
weeks after her birth fourteen years
ago. The fly leaf of the book shows,
however, that it was printed in 1887,
two years after the time they claim to
have written her birth in it. The jury,
however, seemed to think there was
sufficient evidence to warrant convic-
ton. A motion for a new trial will
be made. The defendant swore that he
never had anything to do with the
girl and that the proceeding was a
Matchmaking scheme. His friends
threaten to prosecute some of the State
witnesses for perjury. The case has
created much interest.

The plan of Gov. Savers, of Texas,
