AFTER THE COOLEYS.
A Fayette County Officer Hurrying
to the Hiding Place of
THE K0T0RI00S GANG OP THIEVES.
Jack Eamsej alleged to Be the Leader of
the Band.
HAKMLESS ASD ELUSIVE AS RABBITS
James Bowell, a deputy sheriB of Fayette
county, passed through Pittsburg last night
in pursuit of the notorious Cooler pang.
Bowell is a courageous young officer. He is
a robust, hearty lellow. He is about 28
years of age. He was born and raised in
the Fayette county mountains and he went
to school with the Cooley boys. He is
familiar with all tbeir haunts, and lie is
confident that the gang is not now in Fay
ette county.
"I have been industrious and untiring in
my efforts to overtake the gang, but they
have fooled me just as they have fooled
others more competent to catch ttiem. The
killing of Jack Cooley while he was at
tempting to rob a hen roost was but the
natural end of a sneak. He never was
above a chicken thief. He was not the
leader of the gang as was published. He
was a follower of a cowardly crowd just as
hard to catch as a lot of rabbits, and not a
whit more dangerous if once overtaken,
ltamsey Is flip L-eder.
"The lesder of the alleged Cooley gang is
Jack Batusey. His crimes have risen proba-blr-to
the dignity of a mountain outlaw. In
all his work he has been assisted by Jack
and Frank Cooley, but they have onlv been
his assistants. Jack Cooley, who was killed,
was even more cowardly than his brother
Frank.
"But we will land the whole gang
sooner or later," Officer Bowell went on.
"Since the shooting of Jack Cooley we have
searched every possible hiding place in tbe
Fayette mountntins. I have been through
most of "West Virginia and Ohio and only
yesterday I got the first clew ot their
"whereabouts. From the information sun
plied me yesterday I am convinced the fel
lows are m hiding in the mountains of
"Westmoreland county, near Jones' Mills,
and I will be very much surprised if we do
not land the whole gang before Saturday
morning.
The Sheriff TUl) Join Him.
"I have been traveling alone for two
weeks, but I have telegraphed home tor
help. Sheriff McCormick. and others will
likely join me in the Ligonier Valley to
morrow, and if we locate onr game there
will be no difficulty in lauding the gang no
matter how well they are prepared for a
fight."
Offioer Bowell is a fighter. In the coke
riots of 1893 Sheriff McCormick retused to
allow the militia to assist him in suppress,
ing the uprising. The troops had been
sent into Westmoreland county, and much
of Sheriff McCormick's trouble was within
sight of the soldiers, but he retused to allow
them to cross the county line. Bowell was
with tbe Sheriff through all that trouble
and was wounded several times by the law
less Hungarians. He is determined to over
take the Coolers and their gang.
May B the Gansr.
A telegram from King wood, W.Ya., says:
"Prosecuting Attorney Fortney received a
telegram from Konlesburg at 1 o'clock to
day stating that the three men supposed to
be Cooley, Bamsey and Yeager bad passed
there on their way toward the Pennsylva
nia line. He immediately organized a
posse and went to Trowbridge's Ferry. In
a short time the three came along and were
apprehended and brought here. Very little
credence was given to the report that they
are the Coolejs."
After supper the Sheriff of Tucker county
and a deputy arrived here, and after some
consultation the three were locked up to
await the arrival ot Sheriff Jackson to
morrow. Jackson's description to the
Tucker county Sheriff corresponds to that
of the men here, with the exception of
Yeager's Roman nose.
The descriptions are as follows: Bamsey
A large man about 6 feet tall, dark com
plexion, short black mustache, scar on chin.
Frank Cooley About 5 leet 6 inches tall,
light complexion, light mustache, rathergood
looking. Another man, Yeager Bather
heavy set, Boman nose, light mustache,
sandy complexion all from 30 to 35 vears
of age. The gang had no arms and made no
resistance. They claim they are miners
from Brownsville, and that they had conic
through to Coketon in search of work. One
man gives his name as Jenkins. The other
two will not give any name, claiming they
do not want their friends to know they were
taken for the Cooleys.

YocxGSTOWK. O., Aug. ia Special
A crowd of picnickers went to Lauterman's
Falls to spend the day, and this evening re
turned home sad and sorrowfnl, bring
ing with them the body of Miss Ida
Beed, daughter of Andrew Beed, a promi

death bv drowning, while two others, Miss
Beryl Beed, sister of Miss Ida, and Miss
.aiyrtie Xivons, were rescued lrom a watery
grave by Vie Beed, a brother, and Charles
Sisco.
Miss Beryl first slipped from a ledge into
the deep water, and was rapidly sinking
when Miss Myrtle bravely plunged in to
rescue her. But she, like her companion,
was unable to swim and also commenced to
ink. Miss Ida, seeing tbe predicament of
the two girls, heroically jumped in. This
brave girl rapidly sank, losing her own life
in an effort to save the life of her friends.
The two girls still struggled in the water,
and their screams attracted the attention of
two young men, who succeeded in rescuing
Miss Lyons and Miss Beryl Beed. They
returned in the hope of rescuing Miss Ida,
but were too late. Her dead body was
found at the bottom of the stream.

Toronto, Ont., Aug. 18. SptcUL
The nine-hour question was discussed and
disposed of by the Typothetss Association
ot America to-day. Hon. J. J. Little, of
Ifew York, andBichard Ennis, of St. Louis,
presented the report of tbe committee,
which recommended that there should be no
reduction in the hours, on the ground that
there was no good reason shown for tbe pro
posed change.
The report stated that it would make a
difference in the cost of production of 11
per cent, which was equal to the profits of
tbe business and the change would not be
beneficial to the workmen. T. S. Cushing,
of Boston, preseuted a minority report,
recommending that when three-fourths of
the members should signify their willing
ness to a reduction of the "hours, the reduc
tion should be made, and the executive
should be instructed to fix a day a few
months ahead, upon which it should go into
effect. After a long discussion the majority
report was carried by a vote of 4 to 1.
Officers were elected to-day as follows:
President, W. H. 'Woodward, of St. Louis;
Vice President, T. 2T. Fetridje, Philadel
phia; Second Vice President, James Murray,
Toronto; Third Vice President, W.D. Brings,

CRANKS AT FALL RIVER.
One Gives Himself Up us the Murderer of
th Borden Couple He Is Czy Beyond
Doubt Tha i'ollce Receive Many Queer
Letteis.
Fall Bivek, Mass., Aug. ia Charles
S. Peckham, ot Ceutral Village, "Westport,
walked into the Central police station
this moraine and said to Marshal Fleem:
"Well, Mr. Marshal, I killed Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew J. Borden, and I have come from
home to give myself up. I went over the
back fence and through the yard of the
Borden house two weeks ago, and I killed
both of them out of pure love for blood. I
went out the rear door ana went bs.ee. to
New Bedford."
Peckham is crazy beyond all doubt. He
was allowed to go into the guard room after
a short confinement in a cell, and begged
several uniformed officers to hang him.
Assistant Marshal Fleet told him to follow
him and he would accommodate him. He
n as taken to the cell room and locked up
again. Alderman Beattie went into the
cell room and had a long talk with him. He
says he has had some trouble with his
family. His home originally was at Mid
dletown, Conn.
The six officers sent to hunt up the
stranger at Steep Brook have not returned
yet. The man was complained of by a
Frenchman named Le Mai, who said he
saw him carrying an ax and acting very
strangely. The people at Steep Brook are
much excited, and the police are searching,
more to allay popular clamor than to prove
the man's connection with the Borden
murders.
Marshal Hilliard read another batch of
crank letters to the reporters this morning.
They were about of the same character as
those given out a few days ago.
IN FAVOB OF SECESSION.
Strange Idea of a Western Man Who la a
Crank on Sllvrr.
Boise City, Idaho, Aug. IS. A special
from Orro Grande, in this State, tells of tbe
peculiar acts ot a man named Alexander
Absbirc, an old prospector and owner of
almost 100 undeveloped silver claims ot
little or no value. Abshire calls himself
"The John Brown of 1892." But the
pseudonym of Don Quixote would be more
befitting and appropriate. He imagines
that tbe West is being downtrodden by the
gold bugs of the East, whom he asserts have
purchased;Congress and the President, He
wants the Western and Southern States to
secede from the Union and set up an inde
pendent repurjlic. The free coinage of
silver, he asserts, is all that will save the
West from ruin and dependency, and he
calls upon Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming and fifteen or sixteen other States
to raise troops and commence a war of in
dependence. He savs he is willing to strike the first
blow. He has gathered around his stand
ard four followers, who are as crazy as he is,
and they march and countermarch over the
hills near their camp at a great rate. Ab
shire carries a large white and red Sheet for
a flag, and he says that as soon as his force
In increased a little be will commence his
march to Wall street, there to inaugurate
war against the gold bugs. He came to
Idaho just after the war, together with
many other members of General Price's
army. He now carries the sword he car
ried during the Bebellion, and his four men
are armed with muskets of antiquated pat
terns. GOLDEN BULB KNIGHTS SOLID.
An Investigation ot the Books Shows There
Is No Need of Alarm.
CINCIXSATI, Aug. 18. Special For
several days statements have been appear
ing in various papers to the effect that the
Knights of the Golden Bule had struck a
financial rock and were about to collapse.
The publications resulted from dissatisfac
tions of tbe heirs of Chris Manerer, a mem
ber of an Evansville, Ind., lodge. His wife
thought he was entitled to $1,000, and when
she received a check for only about one-half
that amount, she complained. Coming on
the heels of the Iron Hall troubles it created
a sensation and several timid lodges with
drew. The headquarters of the order are in this
city, and in an interview to-day, Supreme
Secretary Smith said the trustees are now
at work going over the books preparatory
to the annuafmeeting next week. He de
clared the finances of tbe order in first-class
shape, that they could and did pay every
claim in iullrthat Maurer was only entitled
to what he received as he was not in tbe
$1,000 class and that his heirs were paid
promptly.

Bochestee, N. T., Aug. 18. Special
"William A. Sutherland, National Bepub
lican Committeeman, will leave the city
on Sunday night for 'Washington, where
he hasj been summoned by John
W. Foster, Secretary of State. The
Secretary, alter consultation with
President Harrison has selected Mr. Suther
land for a special mission abroad. Be will
visit London, Paris, Berlin and Stockholm
on State Department business of the utmost
importance. He will probably sail from
New York on Thursday next in tha steam
ship Fuerst Bismarck.
When asked about his proposed trip this
afternoon Mr. Sutherland said he did not
care to talk about his mission at any length,
as it concerned the secrets of the State
Department. He was in need of a rest and
had eagerly jumped at the chance of an
ocean voyage, especially since Uncle Sam
footed the bills.

THE KAISERW ILL
A Serious Mishap Causes Sorrow in
tbe German Capital.
THE UNEXPECTED HAS HAPPENED
And What Promlied to Give Great Joy Has
Brought Sorreir.
THE EMPEROR'S PROGRAMME CIIANGED
f Bf CABLE TO THIC DtSrATCIt.l
Berlin, Aug. 1& The all-absorbine
topic of conversation is the state of health
of the Empress. Her Majesty had a pre
mature accouchment to-day and is very ill
in consequence. Besides her usual physi
cians, other great "medical men have been
called to her bedside. The Dispatch
correspondent understands from good au
thority that there is no reason for alarm,
the Empress being a very robust woman
and usually in robust health.
The Emperor attended the parade of
the Guards to-day, but cut the maneuver
short in order to return as quickly as possi
ble to the Schloss. The prevailing heat
served as an excuse for abridging tbe par
ade. The report that the Emperor is in ill
health and that he remained away from yes
terday's dinner, given by the Guard Dra
goons in memory of the battle of Mars La
pour, on that account is manifestly nntiue.
Neither did the fact that the two Counts
Bismarck attended prevent His Majesty
from aypeaiing at the dinner. He stayed
away for domestic reasons only.
No satisfactory reason has been advanced
so far for the abolition of the Kaiser's ma
neuvers this ear. Now that it is ascer
tained that the Emperor's health does not
stand in the way, it must be assumed that
grave political reasoni have caused this
sudden change of arrangements. The re
port was current this morning that Prinoe
No. 7 had arrived at the castle, and large
deputations of patriotic Berliners drew tip
before the palace and shouted themselves
hoarse congratulating the Emperor and the
royal family. Many who had made'bets
with their friends on the superstition that
the half dozen boys with which the Em
press is blessed would receive another male
addition became boisterous in their joy.
The report of the accident which hap
pened to the Empress was first not believed
in, the Berliners being unwilling to admit
that their Kaiserin should be deprived of
tbe pleasure of having another boy.

Their French Brethren From Peril.
Paris, Aug. 18. Further details of the
insult offered to the French Minister to
Morocco and the Secretary of the French
Legation by Moorish soldiers show that tbe
incident occurred while they were riding on
the beach a abort distance from Tangier.
After they had been attacked by the
soldiers the Secretary struck one of the
Moors, whereupon the latter drew knives.
The outcome of the affair would probably
have been very serious bad it not been that
at that moment several members of the
Spanish Legation arrived on the scene and
rescued the Minister and Secretary. The
soldiers took to flight, and as yet "there is
no trace of theit identitv.
A Blc; Check Twice Cashed.
HambtjbG, Aug. 18. A daring fraud has
just been perpetrated on a well-known bank
in this city. A cheek for 30,000 marks,
indorsed by the chief accountant of the
Hamburg Commercial Discount Bank, was
recently presented for payment and hon
ored. It was discovered afterward that the
same cheek had been paid in 1890. It ap
pears that the check had been stolen from
tbe bank and that the date had been altered
when the check was presented the second
time for payment.

COLUMBTJS, O., Aug. 18. Special
President McBride, of the United Mine
Workers of America, has issued an official
appeal In behalf of the men of the Fair
mont, "W. Va., district, who are out on
strike. The action was brought about by
the war made upon members of the
organization and their wholesale discharge.
The president, after stating the advantages
ot the .bainnont coal neids, says:
"It is our duty to assist those men who
are fighting our battle as much as their
own. This is the first appeal made since
the abolition of the defense fnnd and since
my assuming the duties of president of the
organization. Its purpose is so urgent that
we regard it as being to tbe best interests
of our constituents, and, indeed, to the
miners of the whole country, to notify
them of tee great need of responding to
this appeal promptly and liberally."

VETERANS AT ROCK POINT.
Grand Armr i"y I Celebrated by an Im
mense ricnlc Tin Thousand People
Visit the Grovr The Department Com
mander Hold Lres Parade.
Grand Army Day was celebrated in grand
style at Bock Point yesterday. Over 10,
000 people visited the grove during the day
mid voted the immense picnic a most en
joyable one. The Grand Army veterans
with their wives, sisters and daughters
turned out in full force to do honor to the
day which holds so many memories. It
seemed as though everyone was bent upon
getting to the grove as early in the day as
possible. When the first train pulled out
of the Union Station it was so jammed tbat
the railroad men could hardly enpo with the
crowd. The rush was entirely unexpected
and the authorities were not prepared for
it. There was plenty of accommodations,
however, during the remainder of the day.
Excursion twins were run from numerous
points in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia, which bore goodly
crowds, among whom were many of the
higher authorities of the three States. The
Grand Army Band and several orchestras
furnished music for the occasion.
At 2 r. 51. a rousing old-fashioned camp
fire was held which brought forth some
stirring addresses from General John Tay
lor, Department Commander ot Pennsyl
vania; Adjutant General Samuel P. Tow'ne
and others. A grand dress parade was held
on the grounds which was reviewed by the
Department Commander. After this the
Sons of Veterans paraded and made a fine
showing. Everything was in the favor of
the veterans: the day could not have been
made more lovely, the shady trees of the
old grove affording ample protection from
the sun's hot ravswhicb were felt so much
in the city. The management deserve the
highest praise for the way in which the de
tails were cared for, there being not one
hitch in the whole affair. When 8 o'clock
came the crowds began to leave the grove
and kept pouring back into the city until
nearly midnight.
A BROKER CAUGHT
Like a Bat In a Trap by a Foldlnc Bed
A Suspicion of Foul Play Causes a I'o
licemin to Investigate More Scared
Than Hurt.
Midway between the hours of 1 and 2 this
morning tbe night watchman of the Shan
non building on Fourth avenue, while mak
ing his rounds, heard a variety of unearthly
groans. The sounds came from an office on
the second floor of the building, and evi
dently came from a man in sore distress.
The watchman hurried to the street and no
tified a policeman who happened to be pass
ing that a "man was being murdered up
stairs." The officer, accompanied by a half dozen
curious citizens, rushed up stairs and halted
before the door of the office of a prominent
oil broker. The minion of the law pounded
on the panel with his club, and in a loud
voice demanded admission.
A voice from the inside replied: "Holy
smoke! I am bound with ropes and hand-
cuneil. How can 1 open the door?
After a long consultation with the by
stauders and a fruitless attempt to climb
through the transom the policeman burst in
the door. Somebody struck a match and by
its light they saw a big man and a huge
walnut wardrobe hopelessly entangled.
The man, who was very stout and verv
drunk, was moaning pitiously. His left
hand was thrust through the panel of the
wardrobe and his position was the reverse
of comlortable. When he had been rescued
he sat down on the floor and told this story
to the disgusted policeman.
"I came up here about 9 o'clock. I went
to pull down this infernal folding bed when
something broke and down came the blasted
thing on me. I have been here ever since
and I am half dead."

jrDGHEHT AGAIN3T JOHN L.
For S36S Due s Slan He Once Bad Em
ployed as Press Agent.
NetvYork, Aug. 1& .xrfaZL A judg
ment for f36S against John L. Sullivan was
recorded to-day in Brooklyn. The man who
got the judgment was John T. Vallette, of
Brooklyn. Vallette says that in
1889 he became interested in a
combination that the champion
and Jack Barnett were going to
take on the road, and was engaged as ad
vance and press agent He transacted con
siderable business for the show, which,
however, was only in embryo shape, when
John L. suddenly renewed his acquaintance
with the flowing cup. With the star at
traction on the rampage there was nothing
left for Barnett and Vallette to do but-give
np the enterprise.
Vallette asked Sullivan repeatedly to re
imburse him for his monetary loss, but all
he received was empty promises from the
big fellow. While Sullivan was playing in
Brooklyn, a couple of months ago, papers
were served upon him to appear in court
aud show cause why he should not settle
claims made by his old advance agent. He
was to appear in court the next day after
the Dixon-Johnson fight at the Coney Isl
and Athletic Club, but he paid no attention
to the mandates of the court.

The question of representation in the
convention is not likely to cause trouble.
The matter of representation is expected to
be passed over by giving each county 12
delegates as belore, although Fayette
elected 15.
The two most active aspirants on the
ground to-night are Mr. Sipe and Mr. Wise.
Greene countv has several possibilities in
Dr. J. T. Ullom and Attornevs B. W.
Carpenter and A. F. Silvens. The candidates
from this county, however, frankly confess
themselves at a disadvantage because of the
uncertainty of the intentions of. their home
delegation.
S'pe's tTork Lone AC Don p.
The local candidates here have discovered
to-day that some quiet work was done, of
which they were not aware when the Greene
county conferees were chosen by the
County Committee in June. At that time,
they claim, it was generally understood that
Congressmen Craig, of Washington county,
would be renominated, and no contest was
made over the conferees. Now that Mr.
Craig is dead aud a new man is to be nomi
nated, they find that the 12 Greene conferees
were selected not in the interest of Mr.
Craig, but of Mr. Sipe. , The Chairman of
the Countv Committee, James L. lams, is a
brother of Attorney Frank, P. Iamsj of Al
legheny, who is one of Mr. Sipe's conferees,
and chiefly through whose influence the
conferees "of Greene were selected. Mr.
Sipe therefore claims the bulk of tbe Greene
county delegates. Great pressure is being
brought to bear on local politicians to-night
to switch the Greene delegates away from
Sipe and throw them to a home candidate or
to Mr. Wise, the Washington couuty
farmer candidate.
Mr. Wise Not Very Hopeful.
Mr. Wise stated to-night that he entered
the field only a week ago and that he had
since learned that tbe delegates from his
county were expected to vote for Sipe
through the influence of Attorney Bobert
W. Irwin, on whose motion they were
chosen by the county convention, Mr. Craig
not being permitted to select his own con
ferees. Mr. Wise, however, expects to get
nearly half the Washington delegates and
about five from Greene.
The Fayette delegation has no home
candidate, but will support the man who
has the best show of defeating
Sipe. Mr. O'Leary says to-night ifr
is the field against Sipe, with the
field a favorite. He opposes Sipe on the
ground that he has been fighting the Patti
son administration and Chairman Harrity,
and that he is not in harmony with the Chi
cago platform. He thinks Sipe will be
beaten. The latter, however, is very confi
dent. He claims his nomination on tbe
first ballot by the 12 votes of Allegheny and
a majority ot the delegates each from
Greene and Washington. He also came here
counting four from Jfayette, but has aban
doned that claim.
A Cancns Nenrly 6ettlee Things.
Both the Allegheny and Washington dele
gations caucused at a late hour to-night.
Ten of tbe Washington delegates expressed
themselves for Sipe, but three of bis own
Allegheny men were found to be out of
line. This would give him 19 votes, and if
he can secure six from Greene, as now seems
probable, his nomination is assured.
The feeling to-night is that the only way
to defeat Sipe is to concentrate the field on
F. P. lams, Chairman of the Allegheny
delegation and a former resident of Greene.

The Eight-Hour Law GreatIy,HInders the
Work on the New Beaver Dam.
The bids which were opened at Cincinnati
yesterday for the work on the new dam at
Beaver were all rejected. The eight-hour
act of Congress is responsible for it. The
bids were all put in on the ten-hour basis, and
could pot be accepted under the conditions.
Tbe bids will be readvertised, and are ex
pected to be opened in about three weeks,
as the time will be made as short as pos
sible. On account of this delay it is not
likely that much work can be done on this
dam before next spring. When work is
commenced it is likely to be greatly de
layed and hindered by the act ot Congress.
To judge from expressions heard, it would
greatly please the rivermen to have this
law repealed.

LUCKY VACATIONERS.
Many Go Away for a Rest;
More Stay at Home.
What Is Often Even Better Than a
Change of Air and Scene.
Somsthing Needed to Invigorate the Tired
Body and Mini
two friends, who had not seen each other for
more thin a month, met npon tbe street.
"How badly yon look." exclilmed one as he
Kized into the bageard face of his friend. "My
dear fellow you need a vacation"
Vacation," cried the other, why, I hare Just
come back from a month's vacation."
Too many people who go npon a vacation with
the expectation of securing health come back
fagged ont, -weary, and in a worse condition than
when they left. Change Is not cTerythinir. Vaca
tions may be pleasing, bat it is often better, whether
one goes away or stays at home, to feed the nerves
and brain, the source! from which life itself comes,
with something that can restore tbe wasted energy,
build np tho vitality, and add greatly to the
strength.
In the whole range of modern dlicoveries,
whether In chemistry or medicine, tbe one made by
Professor Phelps, of Dartmouth College, known as
Falne's celery compound, stands pre-eminent. He
has so compounded the powerful qualities of Ger
man Celery seed with other valuable brain and
nerre nonrlshers, as to make a remedy that has
done and is doing what was never accomplished
before, a remedy tbat mates people well. There
are men who, long ago, faced the possibility of
having to dispose of their business and take a long;
reft in order to save their lires, who are now
working constantly and are kept in strength,
vitality, and good spirits by this wonderful dis
covery. There are women who were weak,
dragged out, miserable, who are now fresh, rosy
and happy, entirely as a remit of using this great
compound.
Mo one can afford to neglect an opportunity for
increasing one's vitality, preserving one's health
and lengthening one's life. That a preparation
has been found that will do this Is acknowledged
by the most eminent physicians, and by those who
have used it, always with highly satisfactory re
sults. THIL0S0PHY IK PITTSBTJBG.
A SenslDle Suggestion for the IVorn-Ont,
Bun-Down and Dispirited.
If you find yourself irritated and unhappy
and with fairly good reasons for being so," said a
prominent local physician yesterday, "take hold
of yourself by tbe collar, and set yourself down
hard, and say to yourself:
Well, what is ilf Supposing this Is so, how
long will It last? Why should I allow life to be
made wretched? No, I will not permit my life to
be embittered, and chafed and fretted.'
'Or, If you are really worn out. run-down,
tired, dispirited, a prey to nervous exhaustion, do
not rush off straightway and take some sarsaf
rilla, nervine, blood tonic, or similar concoction to
make matters worse. Ask yourself candidly and
sensibly whether itls not probable that a remedy
exists which medical practitioners recognise as
standard, and whose beneficial effect is evidenced
by thousands of happy men and women whom it
has permanently restored.
"It is certainly better to be led by the experience
of tbe wise than by tne experience of the Ignorant.
Physicians everywhere recognize tbat great discov
ery, Falne's celery compound, as the one snre
means of remedying the waste or Dram force ana
muscular power that results from the rnsn of mod
ern business and social life. It Is a food for both.
Those who have faithfully tried It are tbe moat
positive in their assertions or this fact.
"In August weather, sleeplessness, indigestion.
or weakness, tbe result of the debilitating heat. Is
very common. The use of Falne's celery compound
gives strength to the nervous system, and brings
restful sleep, good digestion, and buoyant spirits to
the user."
MBS, HABBISOK'S FBIBBD.
Mrs. Anna T. Lower's Good Advice to the
President's Wife.
Men and women of high reputation frankly tea
their friends in these hot, muggy, debilitating dog
days to use that strength-giving remedy, Falne's
celery compound, the discovery of tha eminent
Prof. Phelps, ofDartmouth.
The compound did so much for Mrs. Anna X,
Lower, of Minneapolis, that she recommended it to
her friend. Mrs. Harrison, the wife of the Presi
dent. Mrs. Lower says:
"I take Palne's celery compound every summer,
for otherwise I am generally weak and dsbilltated
during the warm weather, and this medicine makes
'me stronger. In fact I do not feel like the same
person while taking It."
Many well-known people in Pittsburg are always
ready to apeak in praise of this scientific prepara
tion. They were worn, weak and weary, but are
now strong and well, solely by the use of Palne's
celery compound.
