The divorce evil seems to grow with
every year. 1880 divorces were granted
In the State of Ohio last year. We agree
that there are faults on both sides, but the
great problem is: Are those faults remedi-
able To great extent there is no doubt
the conditions which result IN divorce may
be remedied. Given dyspeptic husband
and wife suffering from female trouble
and we have the ready made elements of a
divorce case. In view of the facts there
can be very little doubt that many women
look forward to divorce only because they
seek relief from obligations they do not
feel fitted to fulfill. Women are not to
blame They have looked forward to their
home life as a dream of paradise. Then
disease comes like a serpent and destroys
all happiness.
Women who suffer with debilitating
drains, Inflammation, liberation, female
trouble and bearing down pains, will find
certain relief and. cure in Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t so invigorates
the orgens peculiarly feminine and regn-
1ates their functions that they are estab-
1ished in a perfectly healthy condition.
The old lightness of heart comes back
there's light in the eyes and a smile on the
lips. The old irritation and nervousness
are gone, and the husband comes to his
home as a haven of rest and comfort

A Strange Experience.

An Atlanta woman who is deeply in
terested in psychological research re-
iates the following story about an ex-
perience her husband had in the realms
Of the occult:
1--WE were having a new home built,
and my husband went to it every day
to see what progress was being made.
One day as he stood in the front room
up stairs his attention was attracted
to the street Looking out of the win
dow, he saw funeral procession pass
ing from the door and out through the
gate. The casket was small, white and
covered with flowers. He recognized
friends and neighbors in the crowd,
and through some indef1nable impress
sion he understood that the corpse was
that of his son, though he had no son
at that time. Surprised and startled at
the thought, he saw the procession van
ish, and he was entirely at loss how
to account for the experience. The
hour was noon, and there was nothing
in his mood or environment apparently
that induced the subconscious.
"Within a few months a little son
was born to us, and at the age of
years it was carried out of the gate in
a flower covered, white casket and fol
lowed by the same friends my husband
had seen that noontime long before.
What explanation can be given of this
circumstance and experiences like II
that are constantly being related in so
cieties of psychical culture ?'-Atlants

cure the New Road.
j. w. Shartel Of Oklahoma
City, general solicitor for the
Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf rail-
road companys was in the city yes
terday in the interest OF the com
pany's proposed branch line to
Ardmore.
In the afternoon he met quite a
number of our business and pro-
fessional men in an. informal way
in the Office of Ledbetter & Bled-
soc and they discussed the compa-
ny's proposition and the best
methods for securing the necessary
grounds for.right-ofway and depot
purposes.
After considerable discussion
it was decided to organize and ap-
point a committee on assessment
and valuation. r.. w. Randol
was chosen chairman and j. A.
Bivens secretary. A motion was
then made and carried that COM
mittee of ten be appointed, of
which DIR. Al. Wolverton should
be chairman, for the purpose of
ascertaining the names of all own
ers of property along the proposed
line of the road within the city
limits.
This committee is also to ascer-
tain the price at which all of such
property. needed for railroad pur-
poses, can be bought, in ordsr to
form an estimate of the cost to our
people of securing this new road.
When this has been ascertained
steps will be taken for raising the
money necessary to close the deals
and secure the road.
The chairman announced that he
would report the names of this
committee later as it was deemed
advisable that due care should be
exercised in their selection and
that each member should be seen
personally before his name was
announced.
The most hopeful feelings were
expressed by all present as to the
success of the undertaking. and the
sentiment was unanimous that the
proposition OF. the company is
liberal one and one which the peo
pie can not afford to let pass.

FARMERS, INSTITUTES.
Steps Already Being Taken to Arrange
Dates Of Institutes.

The season for holding farmers' insti.
tntes ii now approaching, and =. e.
Kaufman, director OF farmers insti-
tutes, at the Fargo agricultural college,
calls attention to the fact that funds for
holding about twenty institutes are avail
able, ard any locality desiring an insti-
tute should make application for the
same 40 soon az possible. Tho institutes
held last winter he says were decided
success, but the time for making the
necessary arrangements was too short in
many cases. Let tho farmers and bust
ness men talk the matter over among
themselves, appoint secretary who can
take the matter UP at once, specifying
the time preferred for holding the meet
ing, and Prof. Kaufman will arrange q
schedule conforming az nearly aspossible
to the requests. The only expense will
be for hall, properly heated and lighted.
All other expenses will be met By the
state. The past season has fully demon
strated the value OF diversified farming.
The farmers institute is just the place to
get few pointers on it. Send in your
application early and you stand u better
chance to get meeting.

HEALS BY FAITH.

Manitoba Physicians Get After Doctor"
Arthur the Faith Healer.
At Manitou, Man., last week the case
of the Medical Assn, OF Manitoba,
against DIR. Arthur, the faith cure doctor
was heard before Magistrate Alexander.
The evidence was rather trifling: no evil
dence that he charged q fee for medical
consultation; one witness gave him q
present of $40 for the benefit received;
another had likewise paid his board;
another had given him $l.50 for telling
what was in the mind Of the witness.
There was no evidence to prove that the
defendant had ever charged or collected
a medical fee. The case was referred to
the Attorney General. This case appears
to be parallel to that Of the cancer doc
tor, whom an attempt was made last fall
to stop, and in whose behalf special legis-
lation was unsuccessfully introduced
into the legislature. There the matter
dropped. The cancer doctor continued
applying the plasters; the patients were
left to pay or not to pay for the treat
menu, the doctor was left to work out her
own success or her own imposture, she
was doing the cancer sufferers no harm,
she was in some cases at least, relieving
much suffering. IL the state had to pay
the bills then the state should have the
responsibility to shoulder; then the
question would assume different aspect

Elep,antire Memory.

An elephant was being sent up from
Bombay to the Delhi Assemblaga in
Jan. 1877, by the then governor, Sir
P. Wodehouse. On the way it met a
party of men, one OF whom had seen
its mahout and had ill-treated it, as
1t turned out afterwards. Without any
warning, it singled out his man and
killed him instantly, and then escaped
into the jungle, without hurting any
one else, We had an elephant out with
a party hog hunting, carrying our
things. 1t was seen to go of without
its mahout, ibut before doing so 1t re-
placed with its trunk some things that
had fallen off its back. What won
derful reasoning power! Sir P. Wode-
hous had young African elephant he
was very fond of showing. One day
it got obstreperous, and he sent for an
old Indian elephant to keep it in Or
der. 1t was most amusing to see the
way it whacked the small one with its
trunk, but the whacking had the de-
sired effect 1t is a pity these saga
cious and interesting animals should
be so ill-treated at times. for they are
undoubtedly very vindictive, and their
memory is wonderful.-Lieutena
