One Plan OF Marriage.

Woman is four ffths vanity and
ond one fifty credulity," says the six
times married Mills, who, convicted
OF bigamy, has just started on five
years term ut Joliet, You don't
have to be handsome, well educated
or wealthy to win a woman" says
Mills. ~ am not very handsome my
self, and haven't much education, but
can hand out smooth line OF talk
to girl says the much married
Mills; who is described as tall, raw
honed, ungainly, with slouching gait
and awkward movements.
There are hosts of foolish young
women who would never drop an APP
portunity for getting married, and
would chance whatever credentials
the proposing matrimony may have
To offer. This scoundrel married one
woman in Chicago and another one
in Ohio three weeks later. proving
that getting married is an easy mat
ter il the man ia not particular. 1t
proves, also, that there Is n class of
females who are not particular A
courtship of a week, or an afternoon,
il enough, il the. woman is anxious.
Marriage, to such woman, means
very different things from what il
seems to mean. II seems to promise
tinery, houses OF their own, with the
things in them that they care for but
have never had; release from work
possibly of earning wages; OF being
Mrs. Somebody, aud of some recog
nized importance. Anyhow, it is a
change that promises novelty and
some excitement
A man so disposed could be married
twice a week right along in any Wis
consin town. taking his choice from
among the girls who parade the
streets under the electric lights,
"ioshipg" the men. The girls are not
so much to blame Their mothers

fore them.

Portable conclusion, TO which exper.
fenced people had very generally set
tied down, that the estimates OF dam
age to the crogs by the cold wave OF
last week were very wild exaggera-
tons, based not upon examinations OF
the actual injury inflicted, but upon
the imaginations Of newspaper CORE
spondents located in cities, and OF
market manipulators aiming to deress
the price of railway stocks or en-
chance the speculative quotations on
corn. The hot weather which AZ sue
ceeded the cold wave has doubtless
hastened the ripening of thousands OF
acres OF corn which the sensational
lists had counted killed, Even the
potatoes are not IA widely done for as
was reported and believed when the
country was drenched with rain. II
is now reasonable assumption that
when the results Of the seasor q put-
turn are definitely known, 1t will be
found that 1903 has been n year of
good crops, yielding the farmers fair

How He Escaped.

Not long ago an English curate sur.
prised his parishioners by marrying
widow considerably older than himself.
The establishment was still greater
when the cause was known. The GU
rate had become engaged to a young
girl whose frivolous conduct soon led
him to regret the step. He offered q
settlement for his release, but it was
refused. He endeayored in every way
to break the engagement, but without
success.
lis there nothing l can do to escape
this?" he exclaimed one day in despair.
Yes, remarked the girls mother,
who was present and who had been
the prime mover in the marriage nego-
tiations, "by marrying me-"
The curate decided, if he had to mar
~ one Of the two, he preferred the
mother and accepted her. The young
girl soon married wealthy stock

COSTS NOTHING, UNLESS CURED.
A Fair Offer Made by Mcbride & Will
to All Sufferers from Catarrh.


to All Sufferers from Catarrh.
NcBride & Will are selling Hyomei
on plan that has caused considerable
talk among their customers.
The plan is different from that fol-
lower by other remedies. but the rem
edy itself is different also. This treat
ment for the cure of catarrh has such
an unusual record of cures to its credit
that Mcbride & Will offer to refund
the money If it does not give the de-
sired benefit. This is certainly one OF
the fairest offers that can be made, ana
any one who has catarrh and does not
take advantage of it Is doing himself
or herself an injustice.
The Hyomei treatmen- consists of an
Inhaler that can be carried in the vest
pocket a medicine dropper and a bottle
of Hyomei. The complete treatment
costs but 81 and as the inhaler will last
lifetime and there Is sufficient Hyo-
mel for more than a months use. the
medicine is very inexpensive. Many
people who have used 1t write that for
the good Hyomei has done them they
would willingly pay thousands of dol
lars.
Extra bottles Of Hyon'ei can be pro-
cured for use with the inhaler at SO
cents.
Do not suffer any longer with tick
ling, snlarting. irritating, burning, eye
watering troubles that rii'ict those who
have catarrh. Hyomei will cure you.
but If you should not find it adapated to
your case Mcbride & Will will return
your money.

Analyses Are Received From
Des Moines By Chairman
Greene Today
CONDITION VERY SATISFACTORY
Ex- State Chemist Says That There
Was Nothing in the Water on March
rs to Cause Typhoid Fever-shows
Much More Vegetable Matter Than
Samples Taken in 1899.

Chairman Greene, of the water works
committee of the council received this
morning the analyses of the water made
by ex-State Chemist Floyd Davis, of
on Wednesday, March 80, one being
from the pumping station, a second
from the city hall, third from the
Globe Hotel, on Market street, and a
fourth from Second avenue and River
street.
Mr.. Davis report shows that the con-
dition of the city water, as it was on
March %, can not be considered as the
cause of typhoid fever. n large amount
Of organic matter is found in the water,
but no evidence is fousd of sewage
contamination. Mr.. Davis report is
as follows:
These analyses show rather large
amount of organic matter in the water,
as is indicated by the free and albumi-
mold amonia, but the small amount of
chlorine and nitrates and the ratio of
the albuminoid amonia 10 the oxygen
consumed correspond tc that of veg
etable origin only. No evidence what
ever is discovered of sewage contains
nation, for had this been present lhe
chlorine would, in all probability, have
been large, the number of bacteria and
species of the same would have been
materially increased, ana the colon ba-
ciilus would have been present. This
last named cro-organism is always
found in fresh sewage matter and is
universally present in sewage contami-
mated waters. Its absence from water
supply is positive proof hat no fresh,
and therefore dangerous. organic mat
ter is present. The condition Of your
city water as it was on March rs last
con not be considered as the cause of
typhoid fever.
The water, however, contains much
more vegetable matter than did any
sample taken from the test wells in
1889, and it seems to me that there is
more surface water perculating the soil
about the wells than is necessary. Such
surface water flowing into them would
accoun. for the results of the analyses.
Pure ground water, on the other hand,
from gravel beds below Il clay stratum
should furnish less free and albuminoid
amonia than existed in this water last
week. Is it not possible. that surface
