One Wife and Three Husband*. Lizzie Anderson, of Erie, Pa., aged 37, was married three times, and yet was not. legally separated from any of her husbands. Death brought them together, and they shook hands silent ly over her coffin. She met and mar ried Jesse Samson when but a young girl, but eloped with Moses Arm strong. Soon afterward she left him and was wedded to Noah Anderson. The husbands were sworn enemies and never spoke. No legal proceedings were taken and the matter never got into the courts. Then she got sick and was thought to be dying. She ral lied, but again had a relapse. She died last week. Then it was that the three men met at her coffin. Samson stretch ed out his hand slowly, and they all forgave. A Cartoon Saved DU life. Several weeks ago an abcess devel oped in the stomach of William Thorpe, a resident of Quantico, Md. The growth so weakened him that physicians feared to use the knife and patient was slowly dying. A few days ago he saw a Philadelphia paper in which there was a cartoon making fun of Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, Thorpe laughed and immediately .a stream of blood gushed frqm his mouth. The doctor happened to call Dust then, aad after examining Thorpe, declared that the abcess had broken and that the patient would now get well. A DOCTOR THIS TIME. Portland, May 6th.—Dr. E. A. Rose, a practising physician, formerly of Yates Center, Kans., was on what everyone supposed was his death bed. lie had Diabetes, and six of his brother doctors were in attend ance and consultation at his bedside They had done everything that medi cal skill could suggest to save his life, but they were at last reluctantly forced to tell him that he must prepare for death. His aunt had been summoned to his dying bedside. After the doctors had given her nephew up, she insisted that as a last resort, he be given a treat ment of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. From the very first dose, the tide turned in his favor. His life was saved, and he is hale and hearty to day. This case and its cure has amazed the physicians, and is the sensation of the hour. It is interesting to note that while many others are being cured this great discovery in medi cine, the physicians themselves are among the first to benefit, and that while the simpler and more prevalent formd, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica, Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe male Weakness disappear before it, the more malignant forms, such as Bright’s Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy, which have always been regarded as incurable, are yielding just as easily. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are fast super ceding all other treatment for Kidney Disease, and as nearly all human sick ness and suffering has its origin in the Kidneys, the use cf this wonderful medicine is becoming almost universal. The Lily's "Dream.” Mrs. Langtry’s English house in Chelsea is described as “a dream of beauty.” The flooring of the drawing room has been taken up and replaced by white marble, and everything Is done on the same splendid scale. The furniture and decorations are said to have cost more than $10,000. For Good Roads. “We want good roads,” which has so long been the slogan of the League of American WTheelmen, is now to be taken up by the Automatic club of America. The movement is to be for mally launched at a banquet to be held at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, New York, on the evening of April 18, when the list of guests will include the sec retary of war, the governors of the states of New York and New Jersey, the New York engineer, the state com missioner of roads for New Jersey and the director general of the Pan-Amer ican exposition. The Oldest Doctor. The oldest duly qualified physician in the world resides at Carlsbad in the person of Gallus Ritter von Hochber ger, M. D., imperial and royal coun selor of the Austrian court. He was born on October 15, 1803, and, there fore, is 97 years old. He has been in practice for seventy-four years and still gives medical advice. DOUGLAS FACTORY To Be Enlarged Before the First of Jnly. 'Will Make 6,000 Fairs Daily. Advertising pays, W. L. Douglas is going to increase the capacity of his factory to 6,000 pairs of shoes per day. The addition •will add 16,000 square feet of space for manufacturing purposes. At the same time a new 400 horse-power engine and an additional 150 horse-power boiler will be installed, which will afford ade quate power for the present and an other addition to the factory, which will no doubt be necessary later on. When the factory starts up the first of July it will be on an output of 500 dozen or 6,000 pairs of shoes per day, and the weekly pay roll, exclusive of office help, superintendent, foremen, etc., will be $22,000 per week. The Douglas salesmen on the road are sell ing 25 per cent more goods than last season. The increased sales is the di rect result of good shoemaking and ex tensive advertising. The advertising expenditure of Mr. Douglas is now larger than at any period of his busi ness, and this is to be still further in creased. Beginning this week half page advertisements of the Douglas shoe will appear in all the principal newspapers of the large cities, as well as such papers as the Youth’s Compan ion.—Brockton, Mass., Times. Peculiarities are certain traits which your neighbor has which are different from your 'jwn traits. * j THE LIVE STOCK MARKET. Latest Quotations from South Omaha and Kansas Cltr. SOUTH OMAHA.

EX-UNITED STATES MARSHAL MATTHEWS, OP MISSISSIPPI. Hon. S. S. Matthews, ex-United States Marshal of Mississippi, in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Company of Columbus, Ohio, written from Hazelhurst, Miss., says: V •< / am happy to say that / am cured of catarrh and need no more attention from you. It is a great satisfaction that / am able to write you that Peruna has in my case dons nil that you claim, and that / will need no more medicine The great multitude take this reme edy without any other advice than the directions to be found upon the bottle and in the pamphlets. There are those who prefer, however, to correspond with Dr. Hartman during their Bick ness. To all such he will make prompt and careful answer without charge. Hon. J. F. Crooker of Buffalo, N. Y., who was for years Superintendent of Schools at Buffalo, in a letter dated Oc tober 16, writes: « / have been a sufferer from ca* MM a MM Of A seven yearst and after trying many remedies was induced by a friend to take Peruna. The results have been highly satisfactory. I take pleasure in recommend ing Peruna to any one suffering witn catarrn, as my case Is complete." Hon. B. B. Dovlner, Congressman from West Virginia, in n letter from Washington, D. C., to The Peruna Med icine Co., says the following of their: catarrh remedy, Peruna: "I Join with my colleagues in tbo House of Representatives in recom mending your excellent remedy, Pe runa, as a good tonic and also an ef fective cure for catarrh.” . Mrs, Mary C. Fentress writes from! Paradise, Tex., the following: “I think I can say that your good advice and medicine has cured me of chronic catarrh. I have had no pains in my head since I have taken Peruna. I have been in bad health ever since *69, and have taken a good many med icines which were only of temporary relief. Peruna is the catarrh cure. The Peruna stopped my catarrh of the head so that It did not become chronic, and I am very thankful for Dr. Hartman’s advice and medicine.” Peruna is a specific for all catarrhal diseases.

The remedy that will cure ca tarrh in one situation will cure It in all situations.
