when he looked over tho bill and ftiund
that it hart originally been for one. dol
lar, but by. clever (rnriure of the. ohr
and in' its pritoe substltutiiifi- tliu num
ber twenty, the bill bad been raised
iwont.v times its actual value. Rico
went before Alderman Atkinson and
explained tha case to nini. A warrant

thur Pearce had been In town on
Thursday afternoon and thnt he had
stopped for some length of time, on
Fallbrook street, and was later joined
by another fanner, who was heavily

the time that the bill hurt been passed
on Rico. The constable, In company
with Uico, drove to the home of .Mr.
Pearce, In the country west of this

found goods which wore Idontllled by
Rico as being huuglit In his place.

Tiie trio were arrested and taken be
fore Alderman, Atkinson, but befoie

and when the hearing was ready, he
was prepared to state where Pearce

rtrossed stranger, of whom he asked a
chew of tobacco. The stranger gave
him enough to satisfy him anil t!on
asked him to change a twenty dollar
bill for him, ' Robinson had a lot of
change In his pocket and was only too
willing to part with it for a bill. ITo

TALK ON "DANIEL O'CONNELL."
Hon. John Littlefleld's Lecture in St.
Eose Hall.
The life of Daniel O'Connell, the
great frlMi patriot, the heroic leader
In the emancipation of Ireland, and
,tho man who was so blest with tho
divine gift of eloquence that Wendell
Phillips said was the greatest speaker
of modern times, war- reviewed at
length lust night by lion. John II. IJt
tlolield before a fal.r-sized audience In
St. Rose hall. The lecture was the last
number in tho Knights of Columbus
course.
Mr. Littlelleld, who had a personal
acquaintance with Abraham Lincoln,
an intimate acquaintance, having prac
ticed one year In Mr. Lincoln's olitce,
prefaced his review, of O'Connell's life,
with the reading of Lincoln's speech at
Gettysburg and with an Imitation of
Lincoln and Douglass in their noted
public debates. Mr. Littlefleld's inti
mate knowledge of tho martyr presi
dent gave an added interest to ills in
troduction of the Lincoln erilsode.
Mr. Litticfleld said that next to Mr.
Lincoln, his admiration was greatest
for Daniel' O'Connell. Lincoln and
O'Connell, he added, were, the two
greatest men v, ho ever row? from tho
common people.
In presenting the life of Daniel
'O'Ponuell, Mr. LUtlelield said it was
because of his sympathy for Ireland,
awakened by closely studying her his
tory. He believed that- by making
known tho noble life of O'Connell, the
adverse conditions under and against
which ho battled, the war against con
science, the prejudice and the like, it
would be the means of proving that the
court of public sentiment is more
powerful than the power of mon
archies. Throughout Mr. Littlefleld's
discussion, tills thought was uppermost
and he took every opportunity to point
out how Ireland was deprived of her
rights and that she woukbone day take
her place among the world's nations,
not as independent, Tor he did not be
lieve this would he-brought about, but
as a country with the means of educa
tion and Industry to raise its Inhabi
tants to the ilghlful Javel.
MISHAP AT EIRE.
In a Flurry of Excitement Mitchell
Company Damages Its .Wagon.
The alarm of fire sounded from box
21, Main street and. Salem avenue, at
UsSO o'clock yesterday afternoon causing
quite a commotion at thu Lincoln ave
nue and Church street intersection
whore the blnssu was located, in the
Hurry of excitement, the reel of tho
cart of the Mitchell Hose company was
badly rtuinged, to the extent' Unit the
wagon will be. out of service Tor several
days. .
The accident was caused by the ex
citement of some Individual who lost
hW heart and declared to thu pipemnn
who stood at the hydrant at the corner
of Main and Lincoln that the hosemon
wanted the water turned on. The man
at tho hydrant obeyed what he sup
posed were orders, hut by this time
the hose was still attached to the reel.
Tho result can .be readily Imagined.
When the water went shooting through
tho hose it sent thu reel whlzr.ing
around like a Fourth of July spinning
wheel, The water travelling through
the unconnected hoso on the reel
caused the wagon to vibrato and Jump,
frightening tho horses, which started
up Lincoln avenue at a pace that re
quired the hardest exertions of Driver
Hrlggs to check. When the water was
finally shut off tho, reel was found to
bo lit for the repair main,
The flro from which nil tho excite
ment and trouble arose, was no lire,
It was a Blight blaze In May's meat
miirkot on Lincoln avenue, caused by
u stovo pipe In the back room. Mr.
May feared tho 'blasiu would get a
dangerous utait and called for an alarm
which was turned in by Arthur Thom
H, of tha Columbian. The only dan
ger was a. scorching of thu woodwork.

RUSH OP VALENTINES.
The Biggest Mail -on St. Valentine's
Day in Years.
Yesterday, St. Valentine's Day, was
marked by tho biggest mull at the Car
bondale postollico on this day In years.
While a heap of tho alleged funny
ones were sent through the malls, those
with u sentimental Importance at
tached to them were- more numerous.
Tho Increased favor for the latter ones
Beeins to bo tho trend of fancy, for the
reports from other cities Indicated a
like condition, Perhaps there were
more of tho artistic ones and the same
number of tho meaner sort, as In other
years, for the dealers of the town say
that they sold as many of the "funny"
ones as before. '
It Is needless to add that the mall
men did not share in the sport that
the valentine senders did. It Just
doubled their work, for the packages
were most bulky, and In numerous In
stances there was not the full postage.
This, of course, wits the usual valentine
day Joke, sending missives thut called
for part payment of postage by tho vic
tim who was made tho butt of jest or
ridicule. It was no joke, however,
for tho mall carrier, for It meant a
llllns out of a form In each case and
a delay In collecting the postage that
was wanting. The malt of tho day, big
as it was, did not make nn appreciable
Increase In the receipts of the post
ollico, as valentines uro mailed at one
half the cost of first-class matter.

nervous prostration, so much so that for ayearldoctored continually. I
tried diilerenL remedies which only succeeded in poisoning my system, and
my stomach refused food. A neighbor who had suffered with ovarian
troubles and was perfect ly o nretl , culled my attention to your Vegetal) lo
Compound, and I made up my mind to givu it a two months' fair trial.
However, before one mouth, had passed I was like a new woman, and
after six weeks faithful me of the Compound I was in perfect health.
It certainly is of groat benefit to women, and I wish every poor suffering
woman could have a chance to try it. Tours very truly, Miss W. Quids

could not stand on my feet for fifteen minutes at a time. I had female
troubles in many of their worst forms ; inflammation and ulceration of
the womb; lcueorrhoja ; bearing-down pains: headache and backache;
nervous prostration. lUy kidneys were out of order and blood in a bad
condition. Everyone, and even my doctor thought I was going into
consumption. 1 followed your advice faithfully for six months with, the
result that I became a well woman, and it cost mo much less than a doc
