Grandpa Zeigler, father of Isaac
Zeigler of this city, came down from
Oakley Sunday morning rather unex-
pectedly. Grandpa, as the old man
is familarly known, has reached the
age of eighty years and he has become
feeble minded in the last few weeks.
Saturday afternoon his daughter gave
him some money to buy a pair of
trousers. He went to the depot, bought
ticket to Hays and waited for the
late night train. He spent Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday here at the home
of l. zeigler, returning to Oakley
Tuesday evening in company with
George Zeigler. He was under the
opinion that he owned some valuable
land west of town and talked great
deal about it. Ten years ago the old
man used to run carpenter shop here,
and by-the-way he made the first bird
cages and owned the best-singing
mocking birds ever raised in Hays.

High FLYER

The above caption is probably appro-
pirate to use in referring to certain
William Hoy of st. Mary's who eloped
with young lady of Osborne, Kansas
this week. The elopement and the con-
sequent Incidents are of considerable
local interest because the young couple
were married here Monday and because
the young man cashed forged check
here for SIS and attempted to cash a
second check of $35 but failed.
The young couple came in Monday
noon from Russell and were married
in the Probate Court by w. M. Stanton,
acting probate judge. They gave their
names as William Hoy of Kansas City
and Elizabeth Earle of Osborne, ages
% and 18 respectively.
Hoy made affidavit that Miss Earle
was over Is years of age and Mr.. Stan
ton said she looked over that age. To
pay for the license and ceremony Hoy
offered Stanton check for $35 with
the invitation to take out So for license,
$5 for the ceremony and enough to buy
a box of cigars for himself and one for
the witness. Mr.. Stanton was unable
to make the proper change so Hoy
stepped into Wann's store but Mr..
Wann refused to the Windsor Hotel
and cashed a check for SIS paying
$3.50 for hotel bill in advance and re-
ceiving $3.50 in change. Later in the
afternoon they secured buggy from
Felton's Livery Barn and drove to
Ellis where they tried to secure an
other rig but failed. The brides faith
er, w. A. Earle of Osborne telegraph
ed that his daughter was under age.
Sheriff Brown got on their track and
hght them at Ellis Tuesday night.
Wednesday Hoy was tried before JUS
tice of Peace Downing and fined $25
and costs and he now rests in the Ellis
county Jail waiting payment of same.
Two other sheriffs were looking for
Hoy, one from Osborne on the charge
of abduction (this fell through when
he married the girD, and the other
from Russell on the charge of forg-
cry. The check passed on Peter Frank
was signed by j. L. Custer & Sons of

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children we'll dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy.
 Truly the work of such g. woman is never done" and is it any wonder that she breaks down at the end of few years, the back begins to ache, there is a displacement, inflammation or alteration of the abdominal organs, a female weakness is brought on, and the struggle of that wife and mother to continue her duties is pitiful.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. made from native roots and herbs, is the exact medicine woman needs whose strength is over taxed. It keeps the feminine organs in strong and healthy condition. In preparing for childbirth and re- cuperating therefrom it is most eff cient. It carries a woman safely through the change of life and in making her strong and well assists her to be good wife and mother.
 Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeannette, Pa, writes:
 Dear Mrs Pinkham-

FEAR CIVIL WAR
Three Provinces of France On the
 Brink of Open Revolt.

Paris, June.-The government ap- pears to have acted none too soon in determining to set the law in motion against the revolutionaries in the south of France. The prefects report the commencement of efforts to raise the pOpulace, and three departments, the Aude, Herault and Pyrenees-Orien tales, are apparently nearing stage when aggressiveness will replace the passivity which heretofore has mark ed the movement.
 Advices from Narbonne, Depart ment of the Aude, show that the situ- ation there has become worse. by namite has been discovered on the railroads in several cases, tracks have been removed, telegraph wires have been cut with the object of i'm peding the arrival of troops, and the revolting villagers have been pull ing up pavements and collecting ma terials for barricades. The excite ment at Narbonne and other places in the South has increased dangerous ly, owing to the announcement of the dCllVlIy Ol lu0 SOVeIuLueHL duu lue agitation of hotheads. The announce ment of the intention of the govern ment to arrest the leaders of the wine growers movement was promptly fol lowed by a general rising of the coun- tryside, with the object of making fierce resistance to the government troops.
 In view of the incendiary threats of the population, the general staff of the Sixteenth army corps held a midnight conference at Montpelier, and all plans were made to meet eventualities.
 Summonses are out against the the whole wine growers committee on the charge of melting the people to revolt, and number of mayors will be prosecuted for attempting to overthrow the central government De tachments of cavalry from the East are on their way to replace the local troops.
