Mr. Irvin weighs about 300 pounds. The city of Los Angeles doesn't own very much of a river, hut when that river gets on a high it is big enough to do some $700,000 dam ages. This is one of the Pacific State's off years along the shore. The following is a society item from the Valentine Gazette: "Standing Bear and family have almost taken residence in the city for the past week. Mrs. Standing Bear is m mourning for her mother, who was frozen during the last cold weather." The great majority of so-called cough cures do little more than impair the digestive functions and create bile. Ayer's Cherry Pec toral, on the contrary, while it cures the cough, does not interfere with the functions of either stomach or liver. A continual coughing is annoying to persons sitting near you in any kind of a gathering; besides, It is of great damage to the throat and lungs, and is exceedingly dangerous at this season of the year. One-half bottle of Beggs' Cherry Cough Syrup will relieve any ordinary cough, and this remedy cost) no more than the inferior grades that are thrown on the market to sell at enormous profits. A. F. Streitz Druggist. The insurance business evidently pays in Nebraska. Last year the people of this state paid out $1,833, 420.79 in premiums to the insurance companies, receiving in return fire losses to the amount of $828,008.17. A round million is a pretty neat sum for expenses and profits on a business amounting to less than two million dollars. As an advocate of Democratic supremacy the Beatrice Democrat says: "There will be a wide differ ence of opinion on the prohibition amendment when it comes to the campaign latter this year. A great many are unwilling to accept it as a political issue, and many denio crats will support it, notwithstand ing the pledges of the party plat form against it." A farmer at Chanute, Kan., sold a beef to a butcher for 2 cents a pound, agreeing to take a quarter of it himself. The butcher charg ed him the regular retail rate, and the result was that the farmer owed him $2 on the deal. The responsi bility for this loss is supposed to rest either with the railroads or the tariff. Bucklin's Arnica Sye.

Not exactly a bridge either, as it is to be below the sur face of the water. Neither is it to be a tunnel, for the bottom of the strait is not favorable for that sort of- work. A huge tube is to be sunk in the water and supported at intervales of 100 feet by piers of iron and concrete. This tube will be large enough for railway trains to pass through. The cost will be less' than either a bridge or tunnel, and navigation will not be obstructed. People troubled- with constipation should be very careful what kind of a laxative they use, as so many medicines are put up to sell which are absolutely without any merit or value, and which, if taken, will get your bowels in such a state that you will be. compelled to keep 'on using physic th-yrt arouricl in order to enjoy any health.

The suggestion contained in Governor Larrabee's message to the Iowa legislature that railroad offi cials should be prevented from deal ing in products of the country, is right to the point if common belief is correct. It-is- becjiming general ly believed that railway officials have heavy investments in Chicago and St. Louis elevators, using their positions with the railroads to further their personal interests in the grain business. It is possible that this may not be true, but the present situation squints that way. Kearney Hub.

The track age has been extended but a trifle over 2 per cent since last year. while the increase in the gross earn ings of January, loyo, shows an increase of 13.9 per cent over the receipts for the corresponding period last year. The business of the country cannot fail to be in a fairly prosperous condition when the transportation companies are doing so well. Philadelnhia Times: A little boy who lives in Philadelphia recently- went with his parents to visit some relatives at Cape May. They had occasion to go by water, and while on the way his parents noticed that he kept looking search ingly down into the sea. At one point on the route a large gutter was iorraea in the sea, disclosing the white belly of a great fish. Thereupon the little fellow gave utterance to a long continued "Oh!" This brought his parents to his side at once, and when asked what the matter was: his answer was: "I'm quite sure I just saw poor McGjintv down there in his new white shirt! ' A new fountain pen especially adapted to the needs of the sharper has been invented. Having select ed his victim and' made all prelimi nary arrangements, Mr. Sharper writes out a very innocent looking agreement with an ink that fades readily. Then by a simple and imperceptible motion he turns on another kind of writing fluid and hands it to the victim and gets his signatnre in permanent ink. When the argeement fades out a promis sory note is written in find the job is done. For a time this pen will have as much work to do in the city as in the country.

The Mayor of St. Louis has been appealed to by a number of maids to interfere in their behalf to pre vent the widows from snapping up all -the marriageable fyoung men of the city. It s a sad commentary on the marriageable men of St. Louis that they should prefer widows to maids, but St. Louis always has been behind the times and lacking in enterprise. The Georgia melon growers have encountered a new trouble. Last season many farmers left the small melons to rot in the fields after the salable melons had been gathered. The millions of seeds left upon the ground attracted thousands of rats. The rats seem to have camped down and now it is said that the fields are honeycombed by their holes. Life and health can be sustained indefinitely on a diet of lean meat and water, according to Professor J. W. Good of the Manitoba medi cal college. The servants of the Hudson Bav company in the Athabasca district and in the Mac kenize river region depend entirely on the natural food supply of the country, some living on meat alone and some solely on fish. Great bodily and mantal vigor has been retained on such a diet for periods of twenty or thirty years, with singular, freedom from indisposi tion of every kind. Scurvy has appeared only where salt meat has been provided for winter use. It is estimated at the War De partment that if any foreign power should tackle this country of ours it could be confronted bv the enormous total of 7,900,000 "fight ing men. Of course it would take some little time to put that host into the field; but to rush the militia of Uncle Sam's potential army to any threatened spot would be a matter of but a few days. Of this organized and equipped home guard there are 109,469 men to day at work in the numerous avo cations of peace, to-morrow moving by special trains to the defense of sea-coast or border.

Thacker, New York Tribune: Genera Clinton B. Fish a Sunday or two ago was discussing one of the In ternational Series of Sunday-schoo lessons at a prominent uptown Methodice ' Sunday-school. The lesson was in Luke, and the General gave a sketch of the life of Luke. Me then questioned the school on the lesson. Among other questions was this: "Luke was one of the four what?" It was supposed there would" be a sharp yolley of replies: "One of the four evangelists." But no response came trom a single scholar, when a little "bud or pro mise held up her hand mdicatin that she could answer. lell us, then," said the General. "One of the Four Hundred" said the little chick. There was no more solem nity in that school during that session. Merit Wins.

A. r. otreitz, druggist. It now appears that the outrages committee in the political prison at Kara, in Eastern Siberia, were even blacker than at first painted. Ci pher dispatches have been received by Russian refugees in London from exiles in Siberia which relates the outlines of the story and gives details which make Russia's treat ment of her prisoners stand out the most infamous of the cruelties of the century. The letters state that Mme. Sigida did not commit suicide, as was at first reported, but died from the effects of the flogging she re ceived in November last. The unfortunate woman was lashed until she lost consciousness. She never recovered from the terrible beating she received, dying two days latter. Three of Mme. Sigida's fellow prisoners, Marie Kaluznaya, Marva Paoloona Ka ralefskaya and Nadezhda Smirnit skaya, unable to bear their cruel treatment any longer, and probably dreading the same end that befell Sagida, took "poison, which they had concealed ftr just such an emergency, and ended their lives.

The fish in question, a wall-eyed pike, must have traveled through the famous Conemaugh river in Pensylvania into the Allegheny, down the latter into the Ohio, down the Ohio into the Mississippi and up the Father of Waters into the Iowa river, where it was caught two weeks ago to-morrow, by four Iowa men, who have lj6ffiJt0,jbfcsL l t n in tne story tney ten is a true one.

No portion of the human organism has, within tho past few years, been submitted to more thorough and intelli gent examination, by medical scientists, than the blood. The result of these in vestigations has been to clearly demon strate that the general health is more dependent upon the condition of the blood than upon any other thing. In making a diagnosis, some modern practitioners are not satisfied with merely determining the temperature of the blood: they test it by means of the microscope and other appliances, to ascertainrif any foreign bodies have.in troduced themselves among its minute corpuscles. Thus, for example, it has been found that in persons affected with gout, uric acid may always bo de tected in the blood ; while the cause of other disorders has been traced to tho presence of germs, or microbes. These discoveries have thrown a flood of light on the causes of disease; and physicians now, in the treatment of many complaints, go directly to the root of the evil by endeavoring to purify tho blood of its contaminating poisons. For this purpose nothing else has been found so efficacious as the iodide of potassium. But the best effects of this drug can only be obtained when it is used in combination with other things, such as sarsaparilla, podophyllum, or yellow dock; and Ayer's Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, being considered the most skilful union of these ingredients known to pharmacy, is therefore most highly recommended by physicians. Even if the iodides were not present, the Honduras sarsaparilla alone, of which Ayer's medicine is the extract, would be sufficiently effective, in the majority of cases, to produce the most desirable results. But, "to make assur ance doubly sure," and to greatly facili tate the purifying process, the iodide of potassium lends its powerful alterative and detergent properties to the rest. The distinctive value of Ayer's Sarsa parilla is that, while it is quite as potent for most purposes as the iodide alone, it is safer in non-professional hands ; for, by simply following the directions on the wrapper, the patient becomes his own physician. Hence this medicine has long been recognized by leading physicians and druggists everywhere ar the standard popular blood-purifier.
