"a HEART AS STURDY AS AN
OAK"

But what about the blood which the
heart must pump at the rate of 20
times a minute? If the heart is to be
sturdy and the nerves strong this blood
must be rich and pure. Hoods Sar-
saparila makes sturdy hearts because
it makes good blood. 1t gives to men
and women strength, confidence, cour
age and endurance.

A UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT.
Remarkable Results of the Thorough
Training at Vine Hill Academy.

Scotland Neck. n. c., Oct. 27.-(Spe-
clal.)--A most unique and enjoyable en-
tertadnment was given last night at the
VINE Hill Female Academy, of which
Prof. l.. w. Bagley is principal. 1t was
much out of the ordinary line of such
entertainments Besides beautiful in-
strmmental solos and duets, and songs
there We're exercises in geography and
mental arithmetic which showed practi-
cal and thorough training. A small class
III geography which had not studied books
at all gave a most remarkable recita-
ton. showing great familiarity with the
continents. oceans, seas, bays, CULTS. &C.,
as we'll as clear knowledge of the divi-
sions of the world and the different races
of people. and the products of the various
countries.
The class in Dental arithmetic just fair
~ astOunded the audience by their ready
answers in multiplication and the conn
plltation of interest. They were asked
ITO multiply numbers with several figures
y p both multiIier and multiplicand, and
almost instantly would give the answer.
Such thing as squaring Number with
four or five figures mentally seems int
possible, but they did lit readily There
were refreshments served free to the
people after the exercises were over and
the children and Young people had a
most delightful after hour.
Prof. Bagley and his efficient corps
of teachers have made wonderful prog
ress I'm their work for only two months,
and last nights entertainments proved
conclusively to the community that no
mistake was made in securing Prof.
Bagley as principal cf the school
A play i'll Temperance Hall this week,
under the management of Mr. w. A.
Dunn, realized over $40 for the benefit
of the Temperance Association.
Ieople are not talking politics here
much. The most that is said of public
affairs is about the penitentiary mud
dies. Everybody seems disguised with
so much uncertainty, and the general ex-
precision is that all are ashamed of the
whole proceedings.

YELLOW FEVER IN THE ARMY.

1t isn't the number of men that yell
low fever kills that frightens you, but
the unexpected suddenness of its attack
and the rapidity with which it kills. A
man is well and hearty at p. M; at 4
p. m. he is deadly i'll; at 6 p. m. he is
dead, and at 8 p. m. he is buried. In
much the same manner men will work
day after day in apparent good health,
ard then will appear a general weak
ness. The body is giving out. 1t needs
something to strengthen it, to drive away
the impurities of the blood, to tone up

gives color to the belief that lie has gone
with Mrs. Deavitt, never to return, is that
before he left he is said to have converted
all of his available property into cash, and
took with him a considerable sum of
money. Straw has a wife and two small
children, and Mrs. Deavitt, besides her
husband, has five children, the Oldest of

Review of Trade says: Demonstrations in
honor of Admiral Dewey e%ffectually
stopped business of most kinds for two
days at the chief city of the country and
yet the remaining transactions would have
excited wonder a year ago. At New York.
where the interruption was greatest, pay

Sl.O59,ooO.0oO for four business days, a
record never before approached, and
outside of New York the gain re-
flcctSa great expansion in the VOL
ume of that kind of business
which does not depend on exchanges. 1t
has been Il week of remark able monetary
changes here and elsewhere. With such
business as the great steel companies are
doing, it is not strange that their stocks
are firmly held. The wool market is
strong. with sales of 1O,6S2, l52 pounds at
the three chief markets, prices being main
tanned, although the advance at London
has been checked. The cotton mills, after
the general advance in price last week,
have had "a large business, being helped by
the rise i'll material. After advancing 9
cents, wheat declined sharply, uncertainty
IN the Transvaai being used by specu-
lators as an excuse for the f%iuctuation.

have been in four weeks $3l, 2O2, 622 in

with the increase in manufactured expo

incurs an enormous outgo for September,

emily not enough to reduce the excess OF

THE END is
Thirteenth Minnesota Regiment Is
Mustered Out of Service.

San Francisco: The Thirteenth Minne-
sofa Regiment has gone out of existence so
far as its connection with the government
is concerned. The muster out took place
Oct. 3. 1t was a happy crowd in spite of
the sore spots left because of the non-pay-
ment of the men. Cheer after cheer rent
the air, the men grabbed each other by the
hand and the more enthusiastic tried to
sing. There is no question but the men
think that a job was put up regarding their
pay and if they find out who is responsible
they will never forgive him. They are
feeling much better than they did, SO that
the situation can be said tobc encouraging.
Col. Ames i'll behalf of the regiment has
written a formal letter, thanking the peo-
pie of San Francisco for the many kind
nesses shown the Minnesota soldiers.

Horrible Tale of C~annibalism from,
the New Hcbrides.

Vancouver, Il. G.: A remarkable story
OF cannibalism was brought to Sydney,
Australia, a few days before the sailing of
the steamer Aorangi to this port, by the
French steamer Jeanette. The victim of
the display of savagcry was a native of
Hawaii, named Amaru, who acted as Or
derby to the immigration department at
Noumea. in the New %lIebridcs.
About six months ago Amaru married a
native woman of Aoba, in the New He
brides group, and OH passing the island on
the second voyage of the Jeanette, en-
pressed a desire to visit his wife's tribe.
Accordingly the couple was put off in IL
small boat and it was only Il few weeks
80 that the steamer made a second call
d learned their fate.
