ALMOST A CATASTROPHE.
Exuberance of Love Spasmodically Manifested Results in Mor-
 tification.

She was seated in the gloaming, a happy smile on her pretty, pensive face, when her elderly aunt entered. Then, as she looked upon the kind old face, feeling rushed upon her that she must share her wonderful news with somebody-she must let someone into the secret which till then had been the sole possession of herself and Harold. She sprang up and flung her arms about her aunts neck.
 "Oh, auntie," she cried impulsiyely you do love me, don't you? Kiss me, auntie, and tell me you do-kiss me! !'
 But only an alarming gurgle came from the old lady for moment. Then she said, gasping indignantly:
 Kiss you. if you ain't careful I'll shake the life out of you. You very nearly made me swallow my teeth!

continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physi- clans propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the req son why so many physicians fail to cure female disease.
 This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corre- spending with Mrs Pinkham, daughter in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women more wisely than the local physician.
 Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs. T. ,Willadsen ofManning, Ia. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham
 :" can truly say that you have saved my life, and 1 cannot express my gratitude in words. Before 1 wrote to you telling you how felt, had doctored for over two years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines besides, but it all failed to do me any good I had female trouble andwould dailyhave faint ing spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. I wrote tc you for your ad- vice and received letter full of instructions just what to do. and also commenced to take Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and have been restored to perfect health Had it not been for you 1 would have been i'll my grave to-day"
 Mountains of proof establish the fact that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound for restoring women's health.

NO KOWTOWlNC FOR HIM.
Hotel Man Who Was Not to Be Over awed by Dignitaries of
 State

They tell this one on former Gov. George Hoadly of Ohio:
 Once upon a time, in the midst of a campaign, MT. Hoadly was to deliver a speech at little town in the grea: and glorious Buckeye State. When he reached the one hotel the town boast ed he walked up to the register and wrote his name. The proprietor-head- ter-steward- -headwaiter- depot run her was behind the desk in his shirt sleeves, his hat on the back of his head, and a cigar stump held between his teeth. When the visitor had put down his John Hancock, the factotum turned the register around, read with out the flicker of an eyelid the name there written, wrote "10" beside it with a lead pencil, and said:
 You kin jest take yer grip right up that stairway there an back down the hall clean to tn end. Yer rooms right on tn left hand side of tn hall, in tn corner-number 10."
 With considerable astonishment and not little injured dignity Ohio's chief executive pointed to his name, smiled faintly, and said:
 q am George Hoadly."
 Yep; I notice," said the rustic without turning hair. An yer rooms right there at tn end of tn hall-number 10. Can't miss it"
 With more hauteur, and almost quivering with outraged importance, the guest said impressively:
 q am George Hoadly, governor of the state of Ohio!"
 Turning, then, with look of ex- asperated impatience on his face, the hotel man exclaimed:
 Well, what dye expect me t do- kiss Ye?"-Judge.

SCIENTIFIC SPECIALS.

Prof. ClaSsen, of Aix-la-Chapelle, has brought out a process of making alco- hol from sawdust. The cellulose is treated with gaseous sulphuric acid, and glucose formed, and is converted into alcohol by fermentation. A ton of sawdust yields about 50 gallons of crude alcohol or p gallons of absolute alcohol. It is expected, however, tha: in time 50 gallons or more will be ob- tained.
 Prof. Behring, who claims to have discovered an effective treatment against tuberculosis, is the discoyerer of the serum treatment of diphtheria Four years ago he shared the Nobel price of s40,000 with Dr. Roux, of the Pasteur institute, of Paris. He is also a professor of the Berlin uniyer- sity and has for years pursued his ex- periments on an estate of his own of about 1000 acres near Marburg. The number of animals of all sizes that have passed through his hands on this property is simply enormous.
 The new alchemy assumes that ele- ments of great atomic weight break up into substances of lighter atoms, but thus far the only transmutations ob- served have been the changes of radium and actinium into an emanation, of which about seven per cent. seems to form helium. What becomes of the re- maining 93 per cent. of the emanation is not yet proven, although there are reasons for believing that lead is 8 part of the product. In the atomic dis integration the energy given out far surpasses all previous experience, and it is estimated that if a fragment of radium could be made to complete it's change instantaneously, the result would be an explosion millions of times more terrific than of gun cotton.

WITH INTENT TO DEFRAUD
Charge Made in Suit Entered to Set Aside Deed Given by the Late
 Chas. J. DevIin.

Bloomington, Ill.-Charg;ng the fate Charles J. Devlin, the millionaire railroad and coal operator of Spring Valley, with intent to defraud his creditors, suit has been entered in the federal court to set aside the deeds to 1,600 acres of Bureau county land.
 According to the papers filed, the deeds to the land were first given to the late H. J. Miller, of Spring Valley, father of Mrs. Devlin, and then trans ferred to her The deeds are dated in 1896, but were made a matter of rec ord only short time before the fail ure. It is contended by the trustees that this indicates the Devlin knew lis affairs were approaching bank ruptcy for some time previous to the crash, and that the lands were trans ferred with the intention of defraud- ing his creditors
