failed to bring the animal down, and
again the man had to seek shelter.

time, and tried to get at his opponent.

with the muzzle almost at the bear $
head. The bear dropped dead on the
steps of the office. MI. Fountain

arrested in Tangier, and Henry W. Her
ing, the cashier of the same institution,
were today sentenced by Judge Pinck-
nov in the criminal court to indeter-
inmate terms in the penitentiary for
embezzlement and forgery. The sem
fences may run anywhere from one to
ten years. The new sentence given
Stensland today will not lengthen his
term of Imprisonment, as the new SEN
tence is concurrent with the old.
Stensland had been brought from the
penitentiary at Joliet to give evidence
against Herring, who it was understood
would make a fight for his freedom,
but Herring changed his mind, and de-
cided to throw himself upon the mer-
tcy of the court. Stensland, however,
took the stand, and told how the bank
was wrecked -" y, \ y (
Trouble Began 10 Years Ago. s
Stensland said that the Irregularities
in the bank began about ten years ago
when he commenced to invest the
funds of the bank in real estate. Dur
ing the last eight years, he declared, he
had lost 100000 in real estate trans
actions. He also lost $21S,000 in run
ming a cooperative store. Stensland
declared that he kept investing the
money of the bank in real estate deals,
and to use it for the payment of his
debts, at the suggestion of Herring. He
also asserted that he had never forged
names, despite the fact that he pleaded
guilty to forgery when he was brought
back to this country from Tangier.

NERVOUS DEBILITY
CONDITION CURED
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.,
A Scranton Woman Tells How She
Was Made Well and Strong
BY This Remedy.

BY This Remedy.
Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
It is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the ''blues," or melancholy, loss
Of energy and spirits. The patients eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective SO
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there is no remedy better
adapted for this purpose than DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane J. Davies, of No. 314 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Some
years ago became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that felt
wretched. could not rest or sleep we'll
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as was when ]
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was pain in
my right side which was worse when
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was generable miserable.
"Then decided to try Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, as my husband
had taken them with good results, and
they did wonders for me. Now I have
no more pain in my side, no more head
aches, I sleep we'll and feel strong and
able to do 11y work. f.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the best
nerve tonic because they convey nour,
ishment to the nerves in the only way
that is in accord with the plan Of nature
through the blood. These pills cured
Mrs Davies and they can do just as muot
for every weak, pale ailing man o,
woman who is slipping into a hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the ROOF
of all common diseases caused by poo,
and impoverished blood such as anamia
indigestion, biliousness, headaches, back
aches, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous
ness and even more serious nervous
disorders. =.-
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by ali
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt Of price, 80 cents per box, si1
