PURE BLOOD.
Blood Impurities of Springtime-
Cause, Prevention
and Cure.

DR.. Hartman's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One of the most timely and interesting
lectures he ever delivered was hisrecent
lecture on the blood impurities ofspring.
The doctor said in substance thatevery
spring the blood is loaded with the
effete accumulations of winter, derang-
ing the digestion, producing sluggish
ness of the liver, overtaXing the kid
neys, interfering with the action of the
bowels and the proper circulation of the
blood.
This condition of things produces
what is popularity known as spring
fever, spring malaria, nervous exhaus-
tion, that tired feeling, blood thiclSen-
ing and many other names.
Sometimes the victim is bilious, dys-
peptic and constipated; sometimes he is

kettle, says writer in Scribner's

a mighty man to watch my cookery,
and instead of letting it burn while he

had burned my biscuits to cinders.
The flames have sue; into the steady
glow of the Goals; the red heaps and
hollows are full of pictures. Women
have cooked and dreamed in this en-
ber-glow since the world began. In
the old days when the shewbread was
baking, or sometimes the "cakes for
the queen of heaven" Hebrew women
must have pictured marches and de-
liverances, seas divided and cities with
miraculously fallen walls; and always
the universal woman visions of lovers
and espousals, of home-comings and
toddling children. Fierce
battles and triumphs must have glowed
in the fires of the Viking wives as they
watched the roasting feasts and chant
ed songs of their lords exploits.

he may have eruptions, swellings and
other blood humors. Whichever it is,
the cause is the same-effete accumula-
tions in the blood.
Nothing is more certain within the
whole rangeof fmedicalscience than that
a course of Peruna in early springtime
will perfectly and effectually prevent
or cure this almost universal affection.
Everybody feels it in some degree.
A great majority are disturbed con-
siderably, while a large per cent. of the
human family are made very miserable
by this condition every spring.
Peruna will prevent it if taken in
time.
Peruna will cure it iftalten as directed.
Peruna is the ideal spring medicine of
the medical profession.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,

full tatement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

away from Sandy Bar. That is what |

He laughed. but she flashed him the
Indignant look OF a devotee of an exact

your innocence of a crime by fastening
it upon yourself. Is it not strange?

The silver rang as he threw 1t down
on the table and turned away. He
had not taken two steps before the old
woman had him by the arm.
You make your living with the
cards, senor," she breathed harshly;
have a care that you do nothing
wrong"
He pulled away from her and drew
himself up.
Il play an honorable game" said he
curtly.
"Ojala!" she mumbled; you may be
honest, but you cannot be honorable
and follow the cards. Beware of three
Knaves and two red sevens, senor."
"Why?"
when you hold that hand you never
leave the table alive!"
"Gracias, senora," he said fine
scorn lurking in the words; "the fu-
ture is a riddle and a riddle you have
read me. AS for the jacks full on red
sevens, it is a good hand in any game
and | shall be glad to receive it.
Adios!"
Thereupon he left the Office and or
dered the hostler to bring his team.

well dressed. too pretty" and defied
the laws of convenience by making a
distinction in his use of knife and
fork.
Then. too, his voice was too soft and
his language too precise. These evil
dences of superiority ranked under the
greasy blue shirts affected by the min
ers and freighters.
Before Darrel's entrance another had
been looked at askance. This other
was a white-faced man in corduroys
with "easterner" and "tenderfoot"
written large in person and manner.
His reserve was stretched to the
point of timidity and before he had
used plate, knife and fork he had sur
reptitiously wiped them on the edge of
the table cloth.
That of itself was an insult which
might have resulted in gun-play had
the proprietor been a witness. The
stranger was slender. like Darrell had
the same dark eyes and closely cropped
hair and was near the same height.
His face was smooth, however, while
Darrell had neatly trimmed full
beard. There was something about
the stranger that held Darrel's eye.
A man in Darrels peculiar line is
perforce a reader of character. After
little study over the bacon, beans,
coffee and sour dough bread. Darrell
concluded that the gentleman in cor
duroys had been driven west under the
| spur of conscience.
Possibly his absence had left an un-
profitable void in some eastern bank,
or other financial institution
The coming of Darrell caused gen
| eral attention to withdraw itself from
| the tenderfoot and focus upon him.
| Yet, although his superiority was man.
! ifest, every man in the room knew that
| the second stranger was not raw
recruit in the ranks of the frontier.
Finishing his meal under running
| fire of half veiled sneers and covert
| jests, Darrell calmly rose and went out.

withdrawing his attention from Mex

Darrell nodded as he settled his bill.

marked Private" The scratching of
the clerks pen ceased suddenly when
he saw a stranger in the ofTice-a
stranger with one hand behind him,
under his coat.
"Well?" queried the clerk.
81 have business with Murgatroyd,"
answered Darrell.
Hes out of town." said the clerk.
A shadow of disappointment crossed
a barrels face as the hand was with
drawn from under the coat.

"In time for the games at Hawk
bills"

he see them if he gets back?"

Stranger in camp?"
"Yes."
Know Murgatroyd?"
I've known him for a good many
years"
Darrell was ushered into the other
apartment and the clerk placed paper,
pens and envelopes at barrels dis
posal. AS he seated himself, Darrell
saw a revolver lying ON the desk by
the inkwell.
The weapon had an ebony stock,
carved with a deaths head. It was
Murgatroyd's, as Darrell we'll knew, and
by what chance had its owner gone
into the hills without it?
The clerk noticed barrels curious
glance at the firearm.
That's the old MANS" he vouch-
safed; first timeI ever knew him to go
away and forget it. Make yourself at
home. What name did you say?"
Nathan"
"All right, Mr.. Nathan. Nothing III
this layout is too good for the old
mans friends. If you don't see what
you want, ask for it."
Much obliged"
The clerk withdrew and resumed his
penwork in the outer Office Picking
up the pen, Darrell wrote as follows:
Mr.. Darrell presents his compliments
| to Mr.. MurgatrOyd and desires to state
that he is now in town awaiting Mr..
Murgatroyd's pleasure. Mr.. Darrel also
wishes IT known that he can be found
this evening at Mr.. Hawkbill Hender-
sons. He trusts Mr.. Murgatroyd will
| embrace his opportunity"
Darrell knew his arrival in camp
| would be noised abroad and reach his
enemy's ears. Murgatroyd's absence
from Sandy Bar, therefore, made a
sudden and unexpected meeting I'M
| possible.
Darrell therefore desired the Motif.
| cation to come through himself, in his
own way. Having addressed the en-
velope, he inclosed the folded sheet,
laid the communication on the desk
and placed the revolver on it for a
paperweight
Then, lighting a cigar, he leaned
back in the chair, wondering why fate
| couldn't be kind and send Murgatroyd
to him as he was then-in his enemys
own room with his enemy's own re-
volver within easy reach. Presently
the artfulness of Murgatroyd's charac-
ter suggested something and the re-
volver suggested something else.

Albuquerque, N M, Oct 17.-In a
card which appeared in the Jaurnal
this morning, Delegate B. S. Rodey an
nounces himself as an Independent can
didate for delegate to the Fifty-ninth
Congress. The reasons for this action
on Mr.. Rodey's part have appeared
heretofore in an eight-column article
which was published by the papers Of
this city. In this Mr. Rodey demon
strates the weakness of his position
and the folly of his action to the satis-
faction of every one who has read the
article. Public sentiment here is
against Mr. Rodey's action, except with
a small clique of personal adherents
and of such Republicans as are anxious
for strife in the party and disaster to
it on election day out of personal en-
nifty and venom because of political
spite and jealousy as we'll as prompted
by desire to "get even." People well
posted in city and county politics here,

over $3,OGO,000 invested here within
