known to be in gold.

TWO KINDS OF LAW.

NeiShbOrs.

Georgia has law intended to induce stock
owners to keep their animals in their own
fields, says the Atlanta stitution. When
farmer finds his neighbor's cattle in his
corn, instead of sending them to the pound
or shooting them, he puts them in his own
corral, and when the owner comes for them,
charges him 80 cents head to pay for the
trespass.
1t happened that when the law was under
discussion two neighbor> were very violent,
the one in favor OF it, the other against it.
After the law had been passed the cattle of
the man who had opposed ii got into the 9TH
err mans field and were captured. Their
owner went for them.

other farmer, 'and as there are IA cattle, it

was indignant but he paid the bill. \ little
later he captured his neighbours cattle in

Frauds In watch Cases.

According TO an article in the Cincin.

Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead ia
secreted until the springs OF the case are
taken out and the lead will be found Sc
creted behind them.
These cases are made by companies who

means TO the dishonest to rob the pub.
lie. 1t is not pleasant for anyone to find
that he has lugged II lump of lead in his
watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the
case ~. s. Assay" The United States
does not stamp any article made out of
gold and silver except coin, and the fakir,
by using this stamp, wants to make the
public believe that the government had
something to do with the stamping or
guaranteeing the ineness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch faliir is to
advertise watch described as solid
gold filed watch with twenty or twenty
ive-year guarantee. These watches are
generally sent G. o. d., and if the pur-
chaser has paid for the watch, he finds
that the Company which guaranteed the
watch to wear is not in existence.
The Dueber-Hampden Watch Company
of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly eX
posing these frauds, will furnish the
names of the manufacturers who are IN
this questionable business.

The honest, earnest, straightforward

advertising Dodd's Kidney Pills. One
such testimony is worth more than a
thousand unsupported claims. The peo-

There is no fact of medical science
better established than that a teaspoon
full of Peruna before each meal during

if this is true land there is no doubt of

and tens Of thousands of cases of
chronic catarrh prevented, by this
simple precaution within reach OF
every one.
After cold has been coltracted a
teaspoonful of Peruna every licnr will

ROUGH SIDEWALKS.

Result in PiIing Up Thirty-six Million
Dollars of Personal Injury Suits fof
Chicago.
Chicago. Jan. 31-Personal injury
suits amounting to $3S,666.952 are
pending against the city of Chicago
according to the report of City At
torney John f. Smulski. made public
today. The council, the legislature
and finally the people are appealed to
for relief. Sidewalk injuries caused
the majority of the suits. Mr.. Smulski
in his report shows that the interests
combining to loot the city in this way
amount practically to an organization.
Names of lawyers, mostly young men,
and doctors occur with great fire.
Quency in the list of suits. The city
attorney says the piling up of suits
will inevitably continue for some
years, even should the city at once
begin to tear up every woode1 side
walk. The city attorney says the
main cause of this condition is the
deplorable state of the city's finances,
which makes it impossible to care
properly for its streets and sidewalks.

TEXAS VOTING STRENGTH.
Over Half Million Have Compiled
With Poll Tax Law.

Dallas, Tex, Jan. 31-Out of 225
counties in Texas, reports have been
received by the GalvestonDalla News
from 1873, comprising more than three
fourths of the population of Texas, con-
corning payment of poll tax. The
terms of an amendment to the consti-
tuition ald the new election law pro-
hibits anyone subject to the tax from
voting unless he makes payment be-
fore February !. A system of regis
tration is also coupled with it. The
News estimates that 100000 persons
have paid the tax, and that there are
10000 exempt voters, indicating total
voting strength of $4,000. 1t esti-
mates that the present voting strength
of the State, but for this poll tax
requirement, would be about 100000.
The first general test of the election
provisions of the new law will be had
the first week in July, when all par
ties are required to hold primary cleo
tons or conventions on the same day
throughout the State.
