Scoxidale, Dec 11. Everson, just
across the county line from this place, is all
stirred up over a unique sensation, in
which Henry Adams, a German miner, and
his housekeeper, a Miss Jones, are the prin
cipals. Adams arose later than usual this
morning, and in an indignant frame oi
mind went down stairs to learn the cause,
when he found cis usual breakfast had not
been prepared. .He at once began a search
of the premises for the tardy housekeeper, but
in vain. He then made diligent search among
the ueighbors, but received the one negative
reply.
He then made up his miud that she had
either given him the slip alone, or eloped with
her lover. Aitbe question of winning her for
himself bad been uppermost in his mind for
some time, he wis greitly broken up. Before
leaving for bis work be took time to examine
Ms savings bank, where be has deposited bis
earnings for several years. He was dura
founded on opening it to hnd that it had been
omDtied, Asneiras Mr Adam can tell. Miss
Jones took between $320 and 5400 in cash, be
tides numerous other valt.al.les, the fair false
one leaving him but $12.
Officer Oa was at once notified, and has be
gun a thorough search for the missing house
keeper. All of tbe officers in the surrounding
towns have been telegraphed to be on tbe look
out for her, but as yet the girl has not been ap
prehended. AlfOIHEE CASE OF PETBEFACTION.

Causes of Scrofula
First of all. Scrofula is inherited. Tbe large
majority of people suffer more or less from im
pure blood given them by their parents.
Second, Scrofula may be acquired by trying
to live on insufficient and poorly-cooked food,
wblch fails to supply the blood with enough of
the elements ot life and health.
Third, confinement in poorly ventilated
rooms, workshops or factories, or living in
damp, unhealthy localities, will poison the
blood and develop Scrofula.
For all Cases
Of scrofula, whether inherited or acquired, and
in whatever form. Hood's Sarsapaiilla is the
most successful medicine known. It thoroughly
expels every trace of impurity, gives the blood
those elements of health and vitality which it
craves, and helps the liver ana kidneys, the
great sewers ot the system, to perform their
natural duties.
