The decisions of the United States Supreme Court in a num ber of divorce cases will be re ceived with great satisfaction by those who hold a deep reverence of the marriage tie. It will bring dismay to those who have lightly journeyed from their own State to theDakotas or else where, where divorce laws are lax, and, after proceedings in the courts were concluded, though they had re ceived a legal service from the marriage bond which would re cognized anywhere. The Su preme Court, however, has de cided otherwise. Some who have secured divorces in the manner described and subsequently con tracted other marriages will find themselves in an embarrassing situation, but in the majority of cases these cannot hope for pop ular sympathy. The Supreme Court declares in effect that a di'orce is only valid in any part of the United States when the couple have a legal residence in the State where it is granted. It goes further and makes it very clear that the legal requirements are that both, and not one, of the couples must have been bona tide residents in order that the divorce may hold good in all parts of the country. This was brought out in the. case of a couple who lived in New Jersey. The wife left the hus band, and the latter removed to North Dakota, whero he entered into business, became a citizen of the State, voted at the elections, and held a position under the Governor. While therehe obtain ed a divorce from his wife re turning to New Jersey only to answer a suit that had been filed againsthim. The Supreme Court declared the . Dakota divorce null and void on the ground that both husband and wife had not acquired a matrimonial residence in that State. The necessity for such residence was further em phasized in another case. In this instance both husband and wife lived in Kentucky. The wife left him and went to New York to reside. The husband songht and secured a divorce in the Kentucky courts. This the Courts held to be valid divorce because the proceedings were taken in the State where both par ties had had a legal residence to the period of desertion. The ef fect of the decision of the Su preme Court of the United States seems clearly to be that divorce proceedings cannot be success fully completed except in the State where both husband and wife have a legal residence, or in the State whero the couple lived when the cause for such action occurred. A severe blow has thus been struck at the pernicious loose divorce law in some of the States- The decision will go far towards discouraging people dis satisfied with their matrimonial relations from attempting to sev er them by proceedings taken in a State by ono of them taking up a temporary residence there. It may also hasten uniform divorce laws in all the States an end for which many thoughtful citizens have been working for some years past Public Ledger. ANGEL IN A SALOON. "I have been suffering from Dyspepsia for the past twenty years and have been unable after trying all preparations and phy sicians to get any relief. After taking one bottle of Kodol Dys pepsia Cure I found relief and am now in better health than I have been for twenty years. I can not praise Kodol Dyspepsia Cure too highly," thus writes Mrs. C. W.Roborts.North Creek, Ark. Trout'a Irug store. One afternoon in the month of June, 170, a lady in deep mourn ing, followed by a little child, en tered ono of the fashionable sa loons in the city of N . Tim writer happened to be passing at the time.and prompted by curios ity, followed her in, to see what would ensue. Stepping up to the bar, and addressing the pro priotor, who happened to be pres ent, she said: "Sir, can you assist mo? I have no home, no friends, and am not able to work." He glanced at her and then at the child, with a mingled look of curiosity and pity. Evidently he was much surprised to see a woman in such a place begging, but without asking any question gaveher somechange, and turning to those present, he said: "Gentlemen, here is a lady in distress. Can't some of you help her a little?" They cheerfully acceded to the request, and soon a purse of two dollars was made up, aud put in her hand. "Madam," said the gentleman, who gave her the money, why do you come to a saloon? It isu't a proper place for a lady, aud why, are you driven to such a step?" "Sir," said the lady, "I know it isn't a proper place for a lady to be in, and you ask me why I am driven to such a step. I will tell you in one short word," mint ing to a bottle behind the counter labeled whiskey, "that is what brought me here whiskey! "I was (Jnce happy and sur rounded with all the luxuries that wealth could procure, with a foud indulgent husband. But in au evil hour he was tempted, and not possessing the will to resist the temptation, fell and in one short year my dream of happines was over, my home was forever deso late, and the kind husband, and the wealth that some called mine, lost; lost, never to return aud all by the accursed wine cup. "You see before you only the wreck of my former self homeless and friendless, with nothing left me in this world but this lit tle child," and weeping bitterly, she affectionately caressed the golden curls that shaded a face of exquis ite loveliness. Regaining her composure, aud turning to the proprietor of the saloon, she con tinued: "Sir, the reason why I occa sionally enter places like this is to implore those who deal in the deadly poison to desist, to stop a business that spreads desolation, ruin, poverty, and starvation. Think one moment of your own loved ones, and then imagine them in the situation I am in. I ap peal to your better nature, I ap peal to your heart, for I know you issess a kind heart, to re tire from a business so ruinous to your patrons. "Did you know the money you take across the bar is the same as taking the bread out of the mouths of the famished wives aud children of your customers? That it strips the clothing from their backs, deprives them of all the comforts of this life aud throws unhappiuess, misery, crime, aud desolation in their once happy homes? Oh! sir, I implore, be seech, and pray you to retire from a business you blush to own you are engaged in before your fellow-men, and enter one that will not only be profitable to your self but your fellow-creatures al so. You will excuse me if I have spoken too plainly, but I could not help it when I thought of the misery, the unhappiness, and the suffering it lias caused me." "Mudam, I am not offended," he auswereed in a voice husky with emotion, "but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have said." "Mamma," said the little child, who meantime had been spoken to by some of the gentlemen pres ent, taking hold of her mother's hand, "these gentlemen wish me to sing 'Little Bessie' for them. Shall I do so?" They all joined in the request, and placing hor in a chair, she sang in a sweet childish voice.the following beautiful soug: "Out In tlu gloomy nitfht, sudly i roam, I have no mother dour, no plcuKunt borne; Nobody care for nie, no one would cry Even If poor little lientie should die.

Section 2. The wood or other material used in baling cut hay shall not exceed in weight eight per centum of the weight of the entire bundle, and no wood, ex cept for a marking block, shall be used in baling long hay or straw. Section 3. Any person who shall mark a bale of hay or straw high er than its actual weight, or who shall use more than eight per centum of its weight of wood or other material to hold it in bun cle, shall be guilty of a misde meanor, and on conviction thereof shall be lined not less than twenty-five dollars nor more than one hundred dollars, in the discretion of the court before whom convic tion may be secured.

It was evident in his swagger that he was a scion of the British aristocracy, and the most casual observer could not have failed to note that he was a stranger to the city.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY ' Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. , DANGER Ilf TUB BiHTH AND A1H; PAUPER KVKRY WIIEHK." A WIm aud Vtmriblt Doctor Talks about Advanced Science. In a leading hotel. In a great city, a famous and aged physician was convers ing. Listening to his wiee and sententious discourse, were a group of well dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and. commercial travelers. My firm belief, is " that medical science Is certain yet to show that all dis eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are living organ isms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever) and here is the still mora dreadful bacillus of tubercle which causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh." " I wish. Doctor," said the traveling man, " that yoirwould tell us about catarrh. I have bad it for years, and I am thoroughly discouraged." The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially the mucous' membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it is fare to meet one who is not, or has not been troubled more or lu&s with it. llow often is he or she obliged to remain at home frompleasa-nt entertainments, deprive themselves of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to himself and his friends. " I believe," continued this great physician, that the true way to heal ca tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratives which act as blood purifiers." liutsy A. Marett, of Madlstee, Mauistee Co., Mich., writes t Dear Sirs: For ten years I was a sulferer from general debility and chronic catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak anft short of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing In my head all the time. My hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor.- On getting up in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to He down, again. 1 had awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a oontlnuul fueling of tiredness. My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and 1 couldn't go half a dozen steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise cauued me to have a pain In my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc tors said my blood. had all turned to water I had given up all hope of ete.r vet ting welL I tried the best physicians in tlie state, but fulled to get any relief. My husband got we a bottle of Johnston's Sarsaparilla. I took it, and then I bought another. Whan these had been used, I was somewhat improved In health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger) my sleep was re freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work all the time, and am happy. I am positive that the Harsaparllla saved my life. The sick headaches I have had sine childhood, have disappeared, and my ca tarrh ha almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's Sarsaparilla ha done for me. I recommend all women who havs sick head aches to use your Sarsaparilla. JMUccnscxotJtar iitjo. oohpawt, svrnorj'l kizcu. Vot Hula st Trout's Drug blurs.
