Tills unfailing remedy for dyspepsia of the most chronic type, is the result of many year's medical research of one ol the most limed and emineut medical scholars of the period, Dr. La Verne Swinton. Patent and proprietary nostrums have hud no more hit ter opponent than this most eminent phys’c iun. for the simple reason that the some dose is in variably prescribed to the sufferer, no matter what the temperament of the patient, and no mutter what the peculiaralitiesof the disease, and this, too, in the face of the claims tliut such remedies will cure a major ity of known diseases. Dr. S.vinton realized fully to what extent dyspepsia, whether mild or chronic by im poverishing and poisoning the blood, became the progenitor of numerous diseases, and therefore sought fr-lligently for years to dis cover its true specific. In this he was suc cessful, hut in prescribing his wonderful dis covery, he never overlooked the great medi cal truth that the symptoms in each case,the teuipermental differences, and even the hab its and occupation of the sufferer reouired not only a difference In the prescription of liis remedy, but also demanded supplemental treatment unci dietary directions, varying widely in different eases. THE STV1NTON M EDiL'AL t,'0. send in connection with this celebrated st peel tic for uyspepsiu, a complete treatise by the Doctor, which gives explicit directions t<» the sufferer, so that he may not only intelligently use the remedy but also properly regulate the diet and properly self adrninister the supplemental prescriptions suited to the case. THIS IS MEDICAL TREATMENT AND NOT QUACKERY. Do not be robbed of your money and your hopes for rostered health l>y alleged pana ceas, which while comparatively harmless wlP cure nothing, SWINTON’S SPECIFIC is sold by all drug gists in $1 packages. We are introducing it ourselves in this territory, before placing It on sale with your leading pharmacists, and will send single packages to any address upon reecipt of 50 cents.

AND ONE OK THEM HORKLV KEORET TED HKIt CHOICE. Th« Bud and Woful Kata M KBIa Mg Dnurall — Two l'ratty Sunday Solioul Teachers Who Might Have Prospered by liar Experience. The rather serious question of whether it is good taste for n pure American girl to euter into the holy bonds of matrimony witli a Chinaman is answered by another daughter of the republic. And she is a Sunday school teacher. Her name is Lizzie Fields and her homo is in New York city. She led a * 5 it T.1ZZIK FIKI.I)a class In Trinity Baptist church of that city. Her pupils consisted of a dozen Chinamen of all ages and conditions. Among1 them was T. L. Wing or Wing Lee Tong as he would spoil it on n laundry sign. Tong, they say, was an apt pupil, lie soon showed his progress l>y striking tip a flirtation with his pretty teuclier. That was last summer. She, presumably in the meekness of her soul, could not answer nay. So a quiet courtship wns begun. Their relations soon became the talk of the congregation, and it soon readied the newspapers. Then was begun a war against the custom of em ploying pure American girls as relig ious instructors for Chinamen. The war availed little, however. This was •specially the case with Miss Fields, who kept right on instructing her class and receiving attention from Mr. Wing. Finally, the other day, she, who had heretofore been regarded as the most prominent and enthusiastic of the young women intrusted with the instruction of the Chinamen, went to the Rev. Mr. Hudson, pastor of the church, and Informed him of her desire to wed Mr. Wing. Mr. Hudson, ac cording to his principles, received the announcement in the most matter-of fact way possible. Mr. Wing and Miss Fields were both estimable persons and membi>™ of his ciiurch In good stand ing, and lie expressed no objection to performing the ceremony oil the fol lowing night as she desired. On tha evening fellowing, therefore, Mr. Wing left his laundry in Brooklyn, wearing an American frock coat and, stopping for liis bride at her apartments, went with her and the witnesses to the min ister's house, where the nuptial knot was tied in the presence of two wit nesses. It is believed that they will bo recognized in society the same as if they were both Americans. But Miss Fields, or Mrs. Wing, as she can now be called, is not alone in her strange sociui condition. Lots of other girls have done the same tiling before her. Others will do it after her. The very day that she became Mrs. Wing, a marriage of less importance took place in Brooklyn. The principals are Eva I’hilbrook and Mr. Sing Woo, a very appropriate name by the wqy for u white pupil who succeeded in winning his instructress. Woo was fully christianized. He knew the bible from beginning to end and could recite it backwards, so he said. He also had sought light in the class-room of the Baptist church. He hod Miss Philbrook for liis private tutor. At that time, it seems, each Chinaman bail his respective young woman for a private instructor, while Mrs. Augusta Carto, the superintend ent, exercised general supervision. The meetings would last often as late as U o’clock, and when it was finished KVA rHILBKOOK. the pupils were invited to stay lor sup per, which they and their instruc tresses shared in easMnon. There used to be about twenty-five Chinamen at the meetings, and the exouse advanced for the supper when the church mem bers began to criticise it was that many of the scholars came from their laun dries to Brooklyn, Jersey City, and die- j taut parts of New York, and It wouldn't be charitable to send them h mie after their long lesson without giving them something to eat. The Chinamen regarded the hour over the tea kettle and the supper table as the best part of the day, and soon n num ber of engagements ware an nounced. Tiie intense opposition of parents prevailed, however, und many wore broken off. But like in the case of Miss Fields,Miss Philbroolc was quite old enough to vote and the mur rlago took pluue. It is believed, how ever, that husband and wife will dis continue membership in their old church. The story of Kflle McDowell, the beautiful Philadelphia girl who eloped with a Chinaman some years ago, lias been told before. Klllo died in San Francisco the other day a dissolute hag. Her death bed was in a Chinese bagnio of the Highbinder order. Word was sent to her millionaire father who replied: “Bury her among thoso with whom she lias lived." And so they laid her away in the pottor's field where a simple mound of earth will toll the sad stdry of her life. Efflo in her young days attended a young ladies' seminary in Lowell, Muss. While walking in the streets of that city in June 1878, she was accosted by Hop Wing, a loual laundry uiun, who asked her if he could not curry her valise. She was on her way to tho train which was to take her to Phila delphia. >Slio accepted the fellows as sistance and on their way stopped at a brother Mongolian's laundry. It was severul weeks later whon the girl emerged from the place. When she entered her face beamed with the angelic swoetuess of blossoming womanhood. When she left the place to go to San Francisco with Hop Wing her mind and heart were revelling in tho thoughts of the many vices sho had accumulated while utnong tho heath ens. They reached San Francisco, where they wore married. The girl's parents Boon learned of her where abouts and went to see what they could do. Wlieu they met her sho was in a Chinese brothel. Her surround ings turned their hearts to stone, so to speak, and they turned from the heart rending scene never more to see their unfortunate child's face. Eflle went from bad to worse until she died even KFFIK M’DOWKIX. an outcast from the home of the wretch who stole her from the recti tude’s pathway. The Collector's Ulleuunn. Treasury inspectors have seised cuts of stamps from u Philadelphia denier, on much the same plea as they seised the painted greenback. The plutcs seised were simply intended to bo used on letter-heads and business cards,and were in no way colorable imitutions of government issues. They were steel plate representations of Washington's head on the ordinary 2-cent stamp, en larged four times, and innocent of any lettering except the firm name. The copies could not have been used for postago under any circumstance, yet the treasury department ordered tlioir confiscation, and they were delivered up to be destroyed. What with this sort of thing, and the senseless levying of duty on imported stamps, the poor collector's lot is not bne of unalloyed happiness. - Hawed His Brain. A ease of temporary survival of a wound which should have, apparently, caused instant death, is that of a boy who was picking up shavings in a car penter shop, lie slipped and fell and his head struck a revolving buzz saw. He staggered to his feet and went to an apothecary to have the cut in his head dressed. He said his hend pained him terribly. This was not wondered at when it was found that the saw had cut through his skull in such a way as to divide the two lobes of the brain. The boy lived for several days and re tained consciousness till the last. Ac cording to the common acceptance of things, he should have died on the spot at the time he sustained this most re markable injury. A Brilliant Snake. Ed A. Babcock of North Stonington, Conn., while crossing his rocky farm met an odd and brilliant looking snake of a species that was believed to be ex tinct in Connecticut, and after a lively chase captured it. It*is a little fellow, not half grown, and is black, except that a broad golden band encircles its neck. It belongs to the gold-banded racer species, which grow to be ten o» fifteen feet long and are swift and ferocious. A Born TktoC In Uockland, Me., is a dog that is a born thief. Its favorite plunder is clothing, and in daily excursions about the neighborhood during the past win ter it lias pilfered enough to stock a •hop. Last week it went into an open hallway, picked up a costly muff and started for home, hotly pursued by a man and two excited women. The owner got her muff and the dog got a beating. THE PASSING SHOW. THREE EXAMPLES OF FEMININE WEAKNESS. MISS MAItY WILSON KILLS II KB LOVBIl'S SLAVISH. Mia. Mary Allan Carr Leaves Her At (lanced Forever Almoat .1 the Foot of the Alter—Mlaa Jennie SenbrlKht'a Strange Vlalt to Decatur. Ind. Life in Oklahoma teems to keep right along on the tume old gait. The news* paper correspondent* are being kept busy writing up extraordinary occur* renccd for the delectation of the rest of the world. The latest crime to at* tract more than ordinary attention was the killing by a girl of the man she loved. It seems that llenry Harvey and John Tobin loved Mary Wilson, a protty girl living near El Reno, that territory. Harvey was the favored suitor, lie was with Miss Wilson the other night at a dance, when Tobin ar rived and a quarrel was started be* . 'is "Mi •m •M ms ./3g Mas 8® uvuon uie two men which resulted In Harvey being1 seri ously shot through the right lung by Tobin, who in turn was shot dead by Miss Wilson. She \wuh placed under arrest, but soon of- % miss wilbon. terwarcU bail was furnished, Regaining her lib^ty she went to Harvey’* bedside, that she *'• might minister to his wants. They s:„ were married tho day following the tragedy. The girl will, of course, bo ; 1 acquitted of tiie charge of murder. ISpringileld, Ohio, was also worked up about the same time, through the action of a wilful girl. Tills damsel deserted her huabaud almost at the foot of the altar. Her name U Mary Allen Carr. She Is lit years old and pretty. Ilor portrait is herewith pre wented. Her disappearance is looked upon as a cold blooded affair. Thomas llarnes, her afllanced, has many sym pathisers. It seems that Miss Carr boarded on East Columbus street, and when her affianced husband called, she was missing. They were to be married that evening. There was no note left behind and no one could tell whore she had gone. ?-y It was a great surprise to Barnes, as they had parted the best of friends, when she seemed in the best of spirits. Barnes is a young’ farmer, residing on the National pike. Recently he fell heir td considerable prop erty left him by an miss oarh. uncle who resided in Xenia. Ha fairly worshipped tire girl, and when be came into possession of the money he purchased a small farm, built a house on it and furnishsed it elegantly. The cletv to her disappearance is probably founded on the fact that after he had secured a license to wed, she borrowed 910 from him, claiming she wished to make some purchases llarnes thinks now that she never in tended to marry him "'hen she made ; the promise, and borrowed the money to skip with. The Springfield police can learn nothing of her antecedents or present whereabouts. From Decatur, Ind., comes a story that will most r probably explain the mysterious disappearance of some Ohio girl. The remarkable feature of the girl’s story is that relating to the receiving of a telegram from her companion the (lay before abe left ^ her home. After J vk, being deserted by BAlier paramour ahe Hfconfesaed her mh nrroug-doing, bnt 'T’.'-efuaed to give her y ^realnaine or real Miss bkabkigut. deuce. Through the eharity of pitying residents of Decatur she was enabled to leave that place, and her whereabouts are at present unknown. , She S^is hot over SO years old and registered at the Miesse hotel as Min J. C. Bennett Shortly afterward a traveling man named Murray, who represents the Buckeye Mower com pany and sells binder twine, came to the same house, and stated that he wanted to retire immediately. About an hour after the new arrivals had been assigned to their rooms the day clerk, in passing through the hallway, discovered Murray near the young woman's door. .Subsequent developments went to show that she had been enticed away from her home. She said her real .name was Jennie Seabriglit, but would not give the name of the town in which she lived. A*ttan«atloi>*l Paint luff. One of the most sensational paint ing's at the lfritish exhibition this sea son is Mr. Waterhouse’s ‘Circe.” The picture represents the enchantress en gaged in poisoning the little stream where Scylla was wont to bathe and holding aloft a green bowl containing the poison she has been preparing in her palace. The nymph has long, red dish-brown hair and is clad in bine, spotted drapery. In the waters at her feet the spectator sees a hideous green monster beginning to grow out of the _ poison deposited there._ And They Were Seven. Alderman Flynn broke the record in 1 .■.*» the marriage bureau of the city hall New York, the other day. He found fourteen'pairs, of all ages and nation alities, awaiting his arrival, and he lost no time in getting to work tying the -'*= nuptial knots, in less than twenty minutes he made the fourteen legally seven.
