April Showers

Wash away the filth and waste that have
accumulated during winter.
In like manner Hoods Sarsaparilla ex-
pels from the blood impurities that have
been deposited during the season when
there has been but little perspiration and
perhaps constant confinement in impure
and vitiated air. 1t is a boon to tired
mothers, housekeepers, teachers and
Others who spend their time indoors.
1t gives the blood richness and vitality,
fitting it to nourish and strengthen the
nerves muccles and all the great organs
of the body. 1t gives all spring humors
and banishes that tired feeling.
1t is the best medicine money can buy
for all diseases caused by impure or inn
poverished blood. You should begin TAX

Court.

The regular April term Of Circuit
Court began Tuesday with Iudee F
. Boyd Eau kner on the bench luaqe
Faulkner gave the charge to the grand
jury IN his characteristic manner. Mr.. T.
,, Irammell was made foreman and the
| jury retired to Their room.
AT 1880 O'Clock the Jury returned with
the following indictments:
State vs.. Theodore Furlev. felony. The
defendant is charged with feloniously as
saulting Mrs. Sarah Bowers.
State vs.. Francis Dixon, felony. The
defendant is charged with stealing a
quantity OF meat from MIR. Gwilt. of
Muddy Lane.
The jury was then dismissed until the
afternoon at TWO o'clock. There are many
interesting cases to be tried at this term
and the term promises to be an interest
ing one.
Alter finding another Indictment. the
Grand Jury was Tuesday afternoon dis
missed until Saturday the 2Ist. The in
dictment found was that OF Arthur Har-
Deb, felony, charged with the murder Of
Nellie Madison. This. promises TO be the
most interesting case to be tried at this
term OF court The case will consume
much time and a strenuous effort will be
made By HaTden's attorney to save his
life.
The case against Benjamin Palmer.
Grover Welty, Charles Heflinger and
Charles Minor, all young boys held for
court for the second offense OF petit lar
ceny. were presented before the Jury. but
the jury would not irdict them. The boys
stole pig iron and coal from the b. & o.
and have been before the magistrates
several times for the same offense. The
prosecuting attorney issued an o. der to-
dav for their release from Jail.
The reason for the dismissal Of the
Grand Jury until the 2rst is that three
new cases have been brought before the
attention of the Prosecuting attorney and
It will take sometime to prepare the cases
tor the jury. Two ofNNtheln are felony
charges. A demurrer to the indictment OF
J. K Clifford for libel. was filed and ar
gued Yesterday afternoon. J. M. Woods
argued for the defense and u. S. G.. Pit
yer for tina State. The Judge withheld

AMERICAN PRESTIGE ABROAD.
Since the Republicans Have Rccn In
Control Europe Has Learned
Our Abilities.

"People of European nations now
have II much greater respect for the
United States than they had previous
to the last two or three years. Our ln-
preccdcnted prosperous condition, and
our ability to make money and ac-
cumulate wealth have placed us high
in their esteem. In Europe money is
tight, and here the contrary is the
rule. The Spanish war, demonstrating
our resources and ability to act and act
quickly, opened their eyes"
This statement was made bv j. Il.
llarahan, second vice president of the
Illinois Central railroad, upon his re-
turn from Europe.
"Foreigners are buying our goods in
greater quantity than ever before"
continued Mr.. Harahan. "Our machin-
cry far eNcels theirs, and they are pur.
chasing in our market. The cornmeal
exhibit at Paris, where an old colored
aunty made corn cakes, and distribute ed
them free OF charge, attracted the at
tention OF thousands. We will benefit
from il by selling more of our corn.
while away made partial arrange
ments for a line of steamships which
will sail from New Orleans for South
American ports. There are certain
shipping interests which desire to en-
ter the field. The wars in South Africa
and China have taken many steamers
out of the merchant marine, but many
of these will soon be free again What
we need is more steamers to carry
away our products.
"One thing railway men accom-
plished was TO secure for this country
the international railway congress of
| 1904. That was one thing which took
me abroad. The congress met this year
| in Paris, and five years ago in London.
Delegates were present from every
country that has railroad. The city
| In the United States where the congress
| will convene is 10 be selected by the
| permanent commission which has such
| matters in charge"
