The Weather Bureau reports
for ihe week ending August 2ith ,
that the highest and lowest tem
perature was 93 ° on the 20th and
43 ° on the 22nd. The tempera
ture on the 22nd may have .pro
duced very light frosts in low and
damp places , but if so , it was too
light to do any damage to the corn
crop. The rainfall during the-
week was .87 of an inch , making
for the month of August to date
2.7-7 inches. The greatest rahfall
for any August in 15 years was
4.82 inches in 1892. There have
been considerable high winds dur
ing the week , ranging from 27 to
33 miles per 'hour from various
directions. ' x

Private Harrison of Co. T of the
25thInfantry got gay at a sport
ing house next to the river Satur
day night and with one of the army
pistols took possession of the house
- and made several threats to shoot.
The proprietor of the place seem
ed tobe the subject of his abuse
principally , but contented himself
with striking two or three persons
over the head with his sixshooter
and shooting promiscuously about
the dance hall until he had the oc
cupants coming his way , so to
spearc. Complaint was made to
Lieut.-Ma pes of Co. I , and Mon
day a search was made for the re
volver , which Harrison claimed to
have given to a woman at the
sporting house. A sergeant was
dispatched for the gun which he
secured , but in returning was way
laid in the timber near the bridge
by liarrisdn who took the gun
away from the sergeant and came
up town ; ' presumably with intention - ;
ion of getting few dollars to i
- gefcher. and deserting the army.
Somewhere he nad changed his
suit for citizens clothes and when
city raarshall , Webb Hilsinger ,
discovered him , had tried to cash
a check ma'de ' payable to his order
but as he was not known he couid
not get the money without being
identified. Upon inquiry Webb
learned from the assistant cashier
that the man claimed to be Harrison
risen , and as Webb had received a
message from Lieut.Mapes to ar
rest a negro bearing his descrip
tion , Mr. Hilsinger promptly plac
ed him under arrest , intending to
hold him until the arrivalof Lieut.
Mapes , but as Harrison began to
get unruly and madeseveral threats
as to what he would do with the
marshal if he followed him around
too closely and finally when he
started across the street without
permission and probably with the
intention of making his escapp ,
Webb caught him by the collar
and halted him. Sheriff Layport
w4s standing just across the street
and thinking that possibly then
was trouble was looking toward ? ,
them when Webb motioned for
him to come over and upon the di
rection of the marshal started to
take Harrison to jail. Harrison
refused to go and being a large
strongman , Webb threw him down
and struck him a couple of jolts ,
which seemed to be a pretty good
coaxer. Up at the water tank'
Harrison got unruly again and
made resistance when Sheriff Lay-
port downed him with a lick in the
face. Upon reaching the jail he
was put in a cell and kept until
the arrival of Lieut. Mapcs and a
couple of sergeants , one of them
being the man from whom Harrison
risen had taken the gun near the
bridge. They had some difficulty
at first in pursuading Harrison to
go with them and after getting
down the road with him a ways ,
Harrison jumped out and started
to run. Lee Shepard was driving
the team , and , turning around ,
soon overtook the fleeing desper
ado. One of the sergeants ' -was
about to shoot him , but the other
taking advantage of the opportun-
I ity , struck Harrison over the head
with a gun whild he had his hand
down to his shoe , searching for a
knife probably. They brought
him back to the ( jail where they
got a pair of handcuffs which held
TJ _
him safe enough , though they had
trouble in getting them on him.
Harrison is said to be a desperate - ,
ate man and is strong. He made J
several threats of violence against
different persons and it is thought
that he will be put in a place of
safe keeping for some time.

I consider Wino of Cardui superior
to andoctor's medicine I over used
and I know- whereof I speak. I euf-
iered for nine months with suppressed
menstruation which completely prostrated -
tratod me. Paina would shoot through
my back and sides and I would have
blinding headaches. My limbs would
swell up nud I would feel BO weak I
could neb stand up. I naturally felt
discouraged for I neemod to be beyond
the help ot physicians , but "Wino of
Cardui came as a God-send to me. I
felt a change for the better within a
week. After nineteen days treatment
I mcnatruatod without suffering the
ngoniea I usually did and soon became
regular and without pain. "Wine of
Cardui is simply wonderful and I wink
that all suffering vromen feiew of its
good qualities.

Periodical headachca tell of fe
male -weakness. Wine Cardui
cures permanently nineteen out of
every twenty cases of irregular
menses , bearing down pains or
any female weakness. If you are
discouraged and doctors have
failed , that ia the beat reason in
the v.'qrld you should try Wine of
Cardui now. Kemember that
headaches mean female weakness .
