A Gift to Give.

It is often difficult to decide what to
get your friends for holiday gifts. Here
is a suggestion:
"Good morning, Jennie. I have
brought you a nice present." said Ger
trude, as she handed her friend a neat
ly wrapped package.
The pale, weary looking girl, who
was slowly recovering from severe ILL
ness, opened the bundle and held up a
large bottle of clear. rich medicine.
"Hood's Sarsaparilla!" she exclaim-
ed. 81 have been reading about it to
day and wished I had a bottle"
On New Years Day Jennie was able
to be out on the street, and to her
friends who remarked how we'll she
was looking, she simply said, ''Hood' IS
Sarsaparilla," and every n of them
knew it was this great medicine thai
had given back her health.

Nothing
Tastes Good

And eating is simply perfunctory-
done because it must be.
This is the common complaint of
the ~dyspeptic.
If eating sparingly would cure dys-
pepsia, few would suffer from it long.
The only way to cure dyspepsia,
which is difficult digestion, is to give
vigor and tone to the stomach and the
whole digestive system.
Hoods S~arsaparilla cured the niece of
Frank Fay, 1o6 N. ST.. South Boston. Mass.
who writes that she had been a great sufferer
from dyspepsia for six years: had been with
out appetite and had been troubled with sour
stomach and headache. She had tried many
other medicines in vain. Two bottles Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla made her well.

Maine, Ohio and Indiana.
Washington, Dec. 1O.-At the
request of Chairman Hopkins, of
the census committee. which has
charge of the reapportionment
bill, a caucu of the Republican
Representatives will be held
this week to decide upon the
basis Of the representation. Mr..
Hopkins asserts that the bill will
be passed before the holiday ad-
journment.
Unless great care is exercised
in framing the bill. Maine, Ohio
and Indiana will each lose a Rep.
re~sentative. The general opinion
is that the membership Of the
House should not be materially
increased. General Grosvenor,
General Died and others have
formed a combination which they
hope will be efectual in prevent
ing any loss in the Northern
States, If necessary they will
ijoin forces with the Democrats
who will be promised that tn
representation of the South shall
not be reduced.

LAKE SHIPPING SUFFERS.
A Furious Gale Prevails-Two Vessels
Known to Have Foundered
MANY Lives Lost.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 13.-The tail end
of the West Indian hurricane which
swept over Lake Erie Tuesday night
proves to have been the most disas-
trous storm that has visited this Sec
tion in several years. The wind at
one time attained velocity of 60
miles an hour, and it was then blow
ing directly from the west, having
practically clear sweep of the whole
lake. Dispatches begin to tell of the
shipping disasters that resulted from
the gale. At least two vessels were
sunk, carrying down with them sew
eral persons, and number of other
vessels have reached port in a badly
damaged condition.
The John B. Lyon, 255-foot steam
er owned by j. c. Gilchrist, of this
city, foundered about five miles off
Conneaut, O., and all but two of her
crew of 16 were lost. The schooner
Dundee sank about Is miles off this
port and the cook, woman, was
drowned, the master and crew escap-
ing on raft.
The steamer City of Erie, with 300
passengers aboard, left Buffalo at
seven o'clock Tuesday evening. A
moderate wind was blowing at the
time. When off the port of Conneaut
the steamer was struck by the ter
rife westerly gale that had begun
blowing. She encountered tidal
wave which went clear over the bull
warks, smashing some of the upper
works. The engine was slowed down
and the steamer headed for the Cana
dian shore for safety. She arrived
here at four o'clock Wednesday after
noon, ten hours late, with all her
passengers safe.
Milwaukee, Sept. 13.-Battered and
damaged, the Flint and Pere Mar
quette No. 4, of the Pere Marquette
line, arrived in port here Wednesday
morning, after one of the narrowest
escapes from disaster ever expert
enced by passenger steamer on the
lake. Thirty of her passengers were
more or less injured on the trip, while
number received injuries which are
quite serious. Almost every window
in her cabin was broken, while the
cabin was one mass of broken tim
bers, broken chairs and pieces OF
glass.
To make matters worse her life
RATS blew to pieces and it was parts
of them which pierced the cabin win
dows and blew into the boat causing
the injuries to the passengers. Of the
passengers there is not one prob
ably who did not feel some incon-
venience from the trip, while over so
were struck by flying timbers and
trunks.
