General Miles' Savings Deposit.
In his speech at an Evacuation day
dinner in Boston the other evening
General Miles mentioned that while
working in that city before tho civil
war he saved up a dollar and depos
ited it in a savings bank. He had
not thought of it for many years, but
his visit to Boston recalled the mat
ter. Tho officials of the bank looked
over their books and sure enough
found that the dollar was there in
tho name of Nelson A. Miles. Unfor
tunately for him howver, no deposit
of less tahn $3 draws interest, so he
might as well have had his treasuro
hidden in a stocking.
Cruelty In the German Army.
Cases of cruelty to privates in tho
German army multiply daily. The
most recent are that of Franszki, a
non-commissioned officer in tho Eighty
fifth infantry, who was tried on 1,520
countB of cruelty and convicted on 100
of them. He got ten years. The in
teresting point of the case was that
Franszki had left the army and was
serving as a policeman in Hamburg
when tho accusations were made. An
other interesting case is that of a pri
vate who was tried for desertion in
Koenlgsburg and sentenced to nine
months' Imprisonment. After he had
begun to serve his sentence the case
was reopened. It was learned then
that he had deserted through fear of
his life. Once a non-commissioned of
ficer had threatened to run him
through with his sword. Tho original
sentence wns quashed and the soldier
restored to duty. No les3 than ten
"non-com of his regiment are being
tried for cruelty.
Wordc of Algonquin Origin.
Alexander F. Chamberlain has dis
covered that there are 131 words of
Algonquin derivation in the English

they left are: Chipmunk, hickory,
hominy, menhaden, moccasin, moose,
mugwump, musquash, pemmican, per

Bum, powwow, raccoon, samp, skunk,

RAILROAD AGENT SLUGGED.
Attacked on tho Outskirts of Lock
wood and Skull Fractured.
LOCKWOOD. Chnrlos Riley, ticket
agent for the Union Pncillc Railroad
company at this place, was slugged
hy nn unknown man here niul so scrl
ouBly Injured that it is thought ho
will die.
Riley hoarded nt n farm house, juBt
on tho outskirts of town, Bome six
blocks from the depot. Ho was going
to supper, shoitly after G o'clock, and
was about four blocks from tho depot,
when a man Jumped from tho weeds
beside tho road and struck Riley over
tho head, knocking him down, fractur
ing his skull, breaking his jaw nnd
cutting nnd bruising his head in n ter
rible manner. Rllcy screamed for
help, nnd ns he lay upon the ground,
tho man beat him until he was un
conscious. His screamB frightened the
assailnnt away, but not until after ho
had beaten his victim until ho was
ieft for dead.
About nn hour after the assault
Riley regained consciousness, but was
unable to reach either his boarding
house or the depot. He lay beside tho
road, calling for help. At last hla
cries were heard, and some men going
to him found him bathed in blood and
suffering terribly. He wbb taken bnci:
to tho depot and sent to Omaha on
train No. 12. He was taken to St.
Joseph's hospital.
After regaining consciousness, nnd
after being taken to tho depot, Riley
talked freely about the assaulf. lis
said that a man Jumped on to him
from the weeds, and without saying
a word, struck him over the head with
a club or some other hard weapon.
The man approached from behind, so
that ho only secured a partial view of
him. and then only for an instant. As
ho fell to tho ground he noticed that
his assailant wns a young man, dress
ed in dark clothes.
Although Riley had considerable
money In his pockets, no attempt was
made to rob him. His money and
valuables were not molested.
Hold up Architect's Claim.
Claims aggregating $417.00 contract
ed hy State Auditor Tyler have been
hold up by the auditor, and while they
have not yet been rejected they -will
not be paid until a thorough investiga
tion as to the right of tho state to pay
them has been instituted, it is likely
the 8alnry claims will not bo paid as
tho law which created tho office did
not make any appropriation for the
payment of a salary, though it did
specify that the architect was to re
ceive a salary of $2,500 n year and was
to bo allowed one assistant who was
to rpcotvij not more than SI. 200 a
year. Mr. Tyler has not received any
Balary, and he took tho office with the
knowledge that ho was to depend upon
the next legislature for it.

No ono who knows Dr. Williamson

Miss Rose Hennessy, well known as
a poetess and elocutionist, of Lexington,
Ky., tells how she was cured of uterine
inflammation and ovaritis by the use of
Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
" Draii Mns. Pinkiiaw : I have been so blessedly helped through the usa
of Lydia 12. Pinkhnm'H Vcutuhlo Compound that I feel it but just to
acknowledge it, hoping that it may help some other woman suffering ns I did.
" For years I enjoyed tho beat of health and thought that I would always
do so. I attended parties and receptions thinly clad, and would be suddenly
chilled, but I did not think of tho results. I caught a bad cold eighteen
months ngo while mcnstruntlng, nnd this caused inflammation of the womb
and congested ovaries. I suffered excruciating pains and kcptgottlng worse.
My attention was called to your VcRotablo Compound and tho wonderful
cures it had performed, and I mnde tin my mind to try it for two months antl
bco what it would do for me. Within ono month 1 felt much better, and
at tho close of tho second 1 was entirely well.
" I have advised a number of my lady friends to use it, and nil express
themselves as well satisfied with tho results as 1 was." Miss Rose Noha,
UuKNCssr, 10 S. Broadway, Lexington. Ky.
Tho experience and testimony of some of tho most noted
women of America go to prove beyond a question that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble and
at once, by removing the cause, and restoring tho organs to a
normal and healthy condition.
"Deaii Mns. Pinkham: About two years ago I consulted a phy
nicinn about my health which had becoino so wretched that I was no
longer nblo to bo about. I had sovcro backache, hearing-down pains,
pains across tho abdomen, was very nervous mid irritable, and this
troublo grow worse each month. Tho physician pi escribed ior mc, but
I soon discovered that ho was unablo to help me, and I then decided to
try Lydia 1Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and .soon found that
it was doing mo good. My appetito was returning, tho pains disappear
ing, and tho general bonollts wore well marked.
" You cannot realizo how pleased I was, and after taking the incdi
cino for only three months. I found that 1 was completely cured of my
trouble, and havo been well and hearty ovor since, and no more fear tho
monthly period, as it now passes without pain to mo. Yours very truly,
Miss Peaiil Aokeiis, 827 Isorth Summer St., Nashville, Tonn."
"When a medicine has been successful In restoring to health
more than a million women, you cannot well say without trying it
"I do not believe it Mill licit) inc." If you are ill, do not hesitate
to get a bottle of Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound-and

vlco is free and helpful. Wrlto to-day. Delay may be fatal.
