Loss of Appetite,

A person that has lost appetite has
lost something besides-vitality. vigor,
tone.
The way to recover appetite and all
that goes with 1t is to take Hoods
Sarsaparilla-that strengthens the
stomach. perfects digestion and makes
eating a pleasure.
Thousands take it for spring loss of
appetite and every body says there's
nothing else so good as Hoods.

What was probably the meanest
hand-organ of the outfit which is now
touring Maine, was doing business on
Water street, Saturday night. There
was no date on the instrument by
which to fix its age. but judging from
the airs which were ground from 1t.
and the manner in which they came
forth, it must have been Of the vintage
of 1875, or thereabouts, and in addition
to that passed the winter in some
snowdrift. The organ had monkey
attachment that helped wheedle the
coppers from trousers pockets, but ne
was not from the upper classes Of mon
keydOm, and was about as homely
speciment Of Simian as ever wore q
flannel jacket.

Bold holdup.

The first realistic holdup that has
developed since the advent Of the new
trunk line through Versailles occurred
Wednesday night at the Rock Island
depot in this city. J. b. Bailey, who had
been q member of the crew Of surveyors
operating for the Rock Island system
during the past few months Lad been
here on a visit for several days. lie went
to the depot about midhight for the
purpose of sending a telegram. While in
the Office Mr.. Bailey flashed a roll Of
money in paying for the telegram and it
seems the robber was on the outside
watching his movements.
Mr.. Bailey transacted his business and
LEFT the Office OH his return trip to the
City Hotel. When about fifty yards from
the depot Bailey was suddenly COM
manded to throw up his hands" As
the victim found himself looking down
the muzzle of an ugly looking revolver
at the instant and the surroundings IN.
dictated q real "hold-up," lie complied
without resistance.
The daring robber proceeded to 20
through Bailey's pockets, relieving him
Of about $55 and a gold watch. Then he
deliberately requested his victim to
vacate the premises and ills safe to say
that MI. Bailey lost no time in getting
out of the despsrado's presence, as the
latter appeared to be a professional
and took no chances, getting the drop
on his victim and keeping it until Mr..
Bailey disappeared in the darkness. This
is the boldest piece of robbery ever per-
petrated in Versailles.
