Still More Counterfeitinu.

The Secret Service has unearthed
another band of counterfeiters and Sc
cured a large quantity OF bogus bills,
which are SO ~cleverly executed hat the
average person would never suspect
them OF being spurious. Things of great
value are always selected by counter
feiters for imitation, notably the cele-
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bittcrs, which
has many imitators but no equals Tor in
digestion, dyspepsia, constipation, ner-
vousness and general debility. The Bit
tiers set things right in the stomach, and
when the stomach is in good order it
makes good blood and plenty of it. In
this manner the Bitters get at the seat of
strength and vitality, and restore vigor to
the weak and debilitated. Beware Of
counterfeits when buying.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in1amed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have Il rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inaamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

The BIRDS PETITION.

Deep In leafy woodland bowers,
Bright with underground Of flowerat
Der the dappled mead and pool
And In tangled lanes most cool.
Pipe the throstle, finch and lark
From the dcwy dawn to dark.
And they pipe and never tire
Songs as sweet as loves desire. e.: Z
!?
OFT to me they seem to sing,
On the branch or on the wing: =
'If you leave us space and sky,
Room 10 nest and sing and fly,
We will pipe for your delight, go
Pipe and make the days more bright,
But in narrow cage confined
Song is slain by Joy unkind.
"Honor, then, our wide domain,
Break not little hearts with pain;
God who made the merry day
Gave to US our roundelay,
And like honey laden bee,
Or like wild winds made us free,
Leave, then, leave us to our song,
Woods and meads and flowers among"

What solomon's Temple Cost.


"a Biblical student in this city," says
III Washington correspondent, de
clares that if the descriptions of Solo
mons Temple are accurately given in
the Bible and by secular authorities,
the total value Of that edifice and it's
contents must have exceeded $5O,000,-
100000. In the first place, the value
Of the materials in the rough is esti-
mated at $12, 500, OOO, 1000, and the labor
ut $4,000, 00O, 900. According to Villal-
pandis 10000 men were engaged in
dressing cedar lumber, $4,000 were en-
gagged in cutting stone and 10000 in
bearing burdens for a period Of seven
years, who, in addition to their wages,
received so cents a day for food. Ac-
cording to the same authority, which is
corroborated by Josephus, the vessels
of gold were valued at 14O,O 900 talents,
which, reduced to American money, is
equal to $685. S1, OILS. The vessels Of
silver are calculated at 1921, 715, 900,

passed a resolution denouncing
the disbarment proceedings in
stituted against States Attorney
Simpson by one Denniston, a nom
resident of the county, and ex
pressed a vote of confidence in

of course, the disgruntled Dick
