The Spring Greek Telephone Co.

wives with them. The affairs of the
company were found to be In good
condition. The nominal fee of five
cents a message is, in nearly every
instance, cheerfully paid by those
outside the company who want 10
talk to people in town. The COM

for the reasonableness of charges.

the civil war and that has been loaded

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!"
The father dropped the gun, and it

The daughter dived under the bed and
the mother yelled "Murder!" at the top

he reached for his artillery. "Stay

they get to shooting down there, don't

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!" just as the old gen.

He went down like a cartwheel and shot

Omaha, Neb.. Jan. I'm the notice

The spy, known to the outside world
only as "Mr. Paul." was captured,

boy was condemned to be hanged, as

Taken From a Hovel 10 the Mahaska
Poor Farm.

Through the fundamentally of the
ladies of the Associated Charities, a
warrant was issued by Judge Scott
Friday afternoon, commanding the
removal of the Kirkman family of six
helpless children from a howell in the
west part of town to the Mahaska
county poor farm. This is only a
temporary arrangement as the coun-
ty farm is not prepared to care for
such charges, and it is likely the fam
lily will be taken to some home for
orphans or homeless children. The
terrible distress in which the little
ones were found demanded i'm,

The case is one of the most pitiful in
the annals of Oskaloosa.

Marietta, o., Jan. 7.-Nellie Morris,
who was almost cut to pieces by Wal
ter Weinstock at Hackney, is still liv-
ing, with chances in favor of her re-
covery. Excitement at the little town
is high, and but for the girls request

CAUGHT AT iACT.
by United States Detectives
In New York City.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE officials of
the secret service of the treasury de-
partment, under the direction of Chief
Wilkie, made a number of highly i'm
portant arrests in New York Friday
night and Saturday morning. For at
least two months the secret service
people have been at work TO discover
the makers of a large number Of all
silver counterfeit coins, mostly quar-
tiers and halves, which were being free
ly circulated in New York city. The
result has been that Pie Paris and
seven companions, all Italians, were
arrested and are now in Jail awaiting
the action of the United States commits
sioner. The fact that large numbers
OF these all-silver counterfeits were
being freely circulated in New York
during the last two years has given
Chief Wilkie a great deal of trouble.
The coins being of almost pure silver,
9GO fine, and fairly well made, they
readily passed wherever presented, and
rendered extremely difficult the task
OF locating the makers and passers,
Chief Wilkie said Saturday that the
gang probably was responsible for at
least so per cent. of all the silver coun-
t%erfeits which have been put in cir
culation in New York during the last
two years.

One Of the most common statements
made in the letters grateful women
write to DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
Is this: ~ owe my life to DR.. Pierce"
These have found themselves in
great danger. They have appealed
without avail to local physicians. They
have counseled in vain with women
advisers. The best that had been done
for them was Just to keep them aHoat in
the sea of disease with strength visibly
failing, in the hope that the man who
had strength and skill to save them
might be found.
woMAN's APPEAL ANSWERED..
Hundreds of thousands of women
have appealed to DR.. Pierce, for relief
from womanly ills and not one has ap-
pealed in vain. The use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription supplemented by
the medical advice of DR.. Pierce has
been the means of cure to this vast army
of ome suffering from diseases pecui-
lar to the sex.

ceived from using your remedies"

do nothing for her she said she began to
take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription

the 'Favorite Prescription and one of

taking them. Before I had taken one
