Twenty-six thousand arrests for drunk
enness a year and eight thousand impris
onments is the appalling record of one
of the most enlightened of American
cities. It means one arrest for every
four families. What it means to the tax
payers may be reckoned from the fact
that , while the fines collected-amounted
to less than twenty-five thousand dollars
lars , the cost of maintaining the prison
ers took from the public more than one
hundred and twenty-five thousand del
lars.

been nine inches too close.

A well defined case of intoxication in this

perusal of the Reporter. The ginger-bread ,
gew-gaws and other amusingly incongruous
and inartistic "art strokes" in the paper had
made him "dizzy. "
It makes the average citizen tuna pale with
apprehension at what might happen if Pop

A Night of Terror.
"Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of
the brave General Burnham of Machias , Me. ,
when the doctors said she would die from
pneumonia before morning , " writes Mrs. S. H.
Lincoln , who attended her that fearful night ,
"but she begged for Dr. King's New Discovery ,
which had more than once saved her life , and
cured her of consumption. After taking , she
slept all night. Further use entirely cured
her. " This marvellous medicine is guaranteed
to cure all throat , chest and lung diseases.

kinds of cranks in this vicinity ?
A little runaway boy stopped at James
Woodworth's , Monday night , and if reports
be true as to the lad's condition , his case
would bear investigation. All Christian people
ple should be the protectors of innocent child
hood. If we hear aright , Mr. Woodworth
would , have further befriended the child if the
lad's fear of a cruel parent had not caused
him to resist Mr. Woodworth's importunities.
"After doctors failed to cure me of nneu-
monia I used One Minute Cough Cure' and
three bottles of it cured me. It is also the
best remedy on earth for whopping cough.
It cured my grandchildren of the worst cases , "
writes Jno. Berry , Loganton , Pa. It is the
only harmless remedy that gives immediate
results. Cures coughs , colds , croup and throat
and lung troubles. It prevents consumption.
Children always like it Mothers endorse it.

A MYSTERY SOLVED !
Site of Ancient Nineveh is Finally
Located.
FOUR THOUSAND YEARS BURIED
At Last Brought to the Light of Day by
Professor Jacques , the Famous
Archaeologist.
The Archaeological Age , in the issue
of January 28th , has quite an interesting
account of the excavations now being
made at what has been supposed to be
the site of ancient Nineveh. Prof. Bruk-
enschdffer of Heidelberg university has
been for the past five years at work on
this supposed-to-be site of the ancient
city described in the Book of Jonah ,
and which at one time was the center ol
learning in the then known world ; but
until December 15 , 1898 , no positive
proof existed that the ruins of the city in
which he was working marked the cor
rect site of that once famous city. On
that day at about two o'clock in the
afternoon , the workmen exhumed a tab
let wonderfully well preserved , but the
characters thereon were different from
any heretofore discovered. The tablet
was photographed and a copy sent to
every archaeologist of note in the world.
For a long time it seemed as though it
would be impossible to decipher the
characters on the tablet , as it was evi
dent that it was of a much earlier period
in the world's history than those ol
former discoveries ; but on January loth ,
1900 , Professor Jacques , acknowledged
to be the greatest archaeologist of the
age , deciphered the writing , and thereby
proved beyond the shadow of a doubt
that the site of the ancient city of Nine
veh , which had so long been a matter
of conjecture , had at last been discov
ered. The inscription , translated , reads ,
"Buy your hardware , buggies , and all
farm implements of S. M. Cochran &
Co. , McCook , Nebraska. "
