Verdict for DR.. Pierce
AGAINST THE
Ladies' Home Journal.

Sending truth after a lie. It Is an old
maxim that va lie will travel seven
leagues while truth is getting its boots
on and no doubt hundreds OF thousands
ofgood people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon DR.. r. ". Pierce
and his uFavorite Prescription published
in the May 19O4) number of the Ladies'
Home Journal, with its great black dis
play headings, who never saw the hum-
bic, groveling retraction, with its incons
spicuOus heading, published two months
later. TWAS boldly charged in the sIand-
erous and libelous article that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, for the cure of
woman's weaknesses and ailments, CON
tanned alcohol and other harmful ingredi-
ents. DIR. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for s2OO,0OO,OO damages.
DR.. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, m%aliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter witH the intent OF. iniuring his
bustneS$f furthermore, that no alcohol, or
other Injurious, or habit-forming, drugs
are. orNN1Ver Yvere, contained in his rFa-
vorite Hespfiption" that said medicine

These facts were also proven IN the trial 81

business Of Dr.. Pierce was greatly injured by
its great display headings. while hundreds Of
thousands who read the wickedly defamatory
article never saw the humble groveling res
spicuous as possible. The matter was, how
ever brought before q jury in the Supreme
Court Of New York State which promptly
rendered q verdict in the Doctors favor.
Thus his traducers came to grief and their
base ISLANDERS were refuted.

GOLD LEFT BY EMleRANTs.
Attacked by Indians in Early Day,
Tbav RuriAd %ha rrasaure

Attacked by Indians in Early Days,
They Buried the Treasure.
We have heard of buried treasures,
but did you ever know Of a case in
which one was found? Well, Joe
Prentice of Hebron, Neb., formerly of
Sabetha, some time ago found a buried
treasure, says the Sabetha (kan.)
Herald.
Prentice formerly operated a hard
ware store in sabetha. Prentice
traded the store to John M. Evans,
now a resident Of Ohio, and got,
among other things, a farm near He
bron, Neb. Pea;;!e laughed at Prem
tice a good dea: because of the farm.
That country was not considered much
of a farming country then.
When Prentice got hold of the farm
Evans told him the following story:
A party of immigrants were travelling
over the country in the early days to
seek their fortunes in the Far West.
One night near the present site Of He
bron the party was attacked by In
dams. A man named Wilcox or Will
son was wounded. The Indians were
routed. The wounded man was taken
to Fort Kearny and his brother was
sent Tor. When the brother arrived
the wounded man told him as nearly
as possible where he had buried more
than $4,000 during the night of the In
dian attack The wounded man died,
but the brother could not unearth the
gold. Later the land where the money
was supposed to be buried passed into
the hands of Evans.
Evans tried but could not locate the
gold. Prentice paii no attention to
the story. Some time ago while he
was grading down the road near his
house he uncovered on a steep incline
"a rusty can such as tomatoes and ap-
pies are put up in. Opening the can,
Prentice counted out $2,13a so in gold
and silver. In addition to this the
farm which the people joked Prentice
SO much about is now a very valuable
property.

She of His
Hearts Desire

lrkov brought the thick-handled,
Quick-tapering, nippy little quirt down
upon his heavy black boot with q
bang; a cracking snap, and he laid It
to his Cossack pony. Then pianging,
they dashed along the high fence next
the black palace. oh, but it was good
to live!
The keen air stung Irkov's lungs,
his quick blood leapt along, his spirit
leapt, his voice leapt-leapt into the
old barbarian yell. He laughed, he
yelled jests to his companions in the
riding yard, a he stood on his horses
back and cut the pony about the ears
-"brr-oop"--but IL was good to live.
Always he kept near the high fence.
Graceful. abandoned, reckless, he
swung along toward the Nevsky gate.
All, there she a ooh, ho-my
sweet" he called-'Ha ha.' The lit
tie dark eyed Jewess h%urriedly crossed
the road, turned and hurried on So
1t was every morning as she returned
from market; we'll, it wasn't unpleas-
ant.
Ha, ha, ma, ha, ha," his ringing
laugh bore down on her like a stream
of golden coins from heaven.
All she a fascinated truly; that
handsome face under the great fur
cap. that 1.-THE figure balanced on the
refined horse, that brilliant smile
all, for her, too, it was good to live.
"Good-by, good-by, little sweetheart,
till w meet again." and he threw her
a kiss, then he cut savagely at the
pony and was swiftly in his seat.
Plunging and rearing, they went down
the great yard by the black palace.
Irkov had felt something was up
ever since the 200 from Kief had been
ordered in; besides there had been
many lights on the barrack side of
the black palace last night. .Irkov
smelt blood.
Well, it was time. Here he had
been confined for a month in a
cramped up city barracks-bah!-

All, the memories swept over him
out there-the quiet vast of the sky,
out there, out there-the steel points
of the stars. and the blue of the dis
tant mountains-ah-ah, there was
life.
The order came, unexpected-sud-
den and sharp, to arm and ride to
the Nicholas street and form in the
market.
They gave a great yell. Here was
action at last, and scrambling into
loose line, the regiment swung across
the bridge and down into the city.
They found an excited mob in the
square. Old Ivan, the druggist, was
leading an Uniformed mass, men, wom-
en-, young and old, and all yelling,
with the rasp of hate in their voices.
THE Jews-they killed another on
Christmas-to the Jews-down with
the Jews!" and the frenzied crowd
crashed in It's mad hurry against the
doors and windows of Abram Ovitch's
tailor shop, breaking them down.
The old man was standing behind
his high desk as they came. He had
known it was coming, but was re-
solved. His family was long gone,

lea. In his hand was the great ruler
with which he measured his cloth. He
defended himself for a moment, then
went down in a welter; they trampled
over him and rushed on to ransack the
shop.
AS the crowd rushed out again into
the street, Irkov almort ran down the
druggist. and got a good cursing.
Irkov laughed at him.
Then the leader rallied his hungry
forces and made a general attack
down the old Jews street, as it was
called.
Who shall tell what happened In
Itzac's house-he had a daughter, a
girltof 16; he had two sons, one q man
grown, the other a boy, and his wife,
the queen Of the Jewish matrons, ali;
-ah-he had a daughter,-who shall
tell,-the mob left the dead outraged
bodies in the smoldering ruins Of the
house.
They had become beasts. They
laughed at sight Of new victim. They
yelled in glee at fresh blood,-and they
were getting rich; for these Jews had
much merchandise.

To Hear
From
Cooper


CT, We wish to call the attention of the public to a
to series of ''short talks by L. T. Cooper that
to be published in this paper.
C. The Cooper medicines have made a remarkable re-
cord in the leading cities of the United States during the
past years and young Mr. Cooper has been the SUBJ
ject of much newspaper comment
q, Mr. Cooper has met and talked with thousands of
sick people in his visits almost every large city the
country.
q, He is noted of very few words and tells
briefly in these articles what his preparations are doing
for sick people and why they have been successful
wherever introduced.
o. Mr. Coopers theory that one half of all human ills
is caused by stomach trouble, and the wonderful sue
of his preparations in the treatment of stomach
disorders, kidney and liver complaints rheumatism, etc.,
seems to have proven this claim.
O. Some time ago secured the agency for these cee
brated medicines. We have been gratied by the
extreme satisfaction of those who have purchased them
from and advise every read these short talks"
as they are full of terse, common sense.
