The four banks offered to pay
$1,000 cash and transfer to the
county their excess claims against
the state for $5,492.1l. These
claims grew out of the payment of
rs cents under the Hewitt law when
according to the later decision the
state was entitled to only AZ cents.
This difference the banks are seek
ing to recover and these claims the
county has accepted in the settle
ment.
Six of the justices voted for the

is shown by the fact that the entire
Lyceum balcony is sold for Wednes-
day evening 20 teachers and students
OF music, which is the first time in the
history OF this city that this has oc-
Cured. This OF itself speaks volumes
in favor of Rosenthars greatness.
With every seat in the balcony taken
and the floor seats going rapidly, there
is every indication that a full house
will greet the great artist. The sale
of seats will be continued today at the

Mr. Alfred Woolers new song, "Mol-

She writes:
During the past five years | have
found that where the system was ru1
down, nothing was so good as Paines
celery compound. The doctors have
often prescribed it to patients under
my charge, and l have noted the very
satisfactory results. l am glad 20
recommend it to my friends"
Miss Georgiana Dean, who is a grad
uated nurse from the Francis Willard
National Temperance Hospital of Chi
cago, says:
I'm my experience as trained nurse,
/ have often observed that where a pa
tient has been very weak, Paine's Gel
cry compound has quickly returned
him to his wonted vigor, whenever the
physician has prescribed it,"
Paine's celery compound is now the
only spring remedy demanded by
thoughtful men and women. 1t has
pushed aside the countless unscientific,
catch-penny preparations that have no
standing among reputable physicians

and nurses. No other remedy has so
wonderful record for effectively and
lastingly curing those diseases that Ic-
suit from deranged nerves and impure
blood. 1t has displaced all other spring
remedies, in the opinions of the best
class of druggists and physicians and
the great mass of intelligent people
who judge of a remedy by its results
more than by what it claims for itself.
Thousands of letters have been re-
ceived by the proprietors of Paine's
celery compound and by newspapers
and medical journals from men and
women in every walk of life, all telling
one eXperience-the immediate relief
and perfect cure effected by Paine's
celery compound.
The best physicians openly endorse
it, use it, recommend it and authorize
the public use of their statements that
Paines celery compound, in case after
case, cures rheumatism and kindred
diseases, purifies the blood, regulates
the stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys.
and rejuvenates the fagged-out or
diseased nervous system.

Every woman is said to make good
nurse.
The opportunity to try is certainly
forced on every woman at some time
in her life, and when the time comes
and sickness enters her home, she
should know exactly what to do. She
can follow no better advice than the
expert counsel of physicians and
trained nurses who every day see be-
fore their eyes the wonderful results
of Paines celery compound among
their sick, debilitated, and nervously
exhausted patients.
Paine's celery compound is the only
spring medicine that has the conf
dence of, and is used and prescribed
by physicians and nurses.
For years they have seen patients
under their care rapidly recover health
and vigor from the use of this won-
derful restorative.

LOVE AT A DISTANCE.

Upon my bedroom mantel SHELF
With many knick-knacks laden,
Two figures stand, at either end
a china man and maiden.
So lovingly they sadly glance,
As IL TO say, "Come nearer"
While each replies, "Alas, can'tl
But, love, you're all the dearer!"
She holds crook in one plump hand,
Her hair is bright and golden.
Her dress Is fiowered and furbelowed
In dainty fashion olden.
He wears three cooked beaver hat
And coat of satin yellow,
With dark brown eyes and powdered cue
lie Is a handsome fellow.
A gun is slung across his back,
But you need never fear il.
A heart has long been his sole aim
All! If he were but near it!
And still they smile and sadly glance,

While each replies, "Alas, 1 can't!
But, love, you're all the dearer"
