Mr. Letcher is in the jewelry bus

solid men of the place, nnd ono
whoso word can bo relied on.
Dr. Darrin treats with electric
ity and medicines all curublo
chronic, acute uud private discuses,
IiIihmI taints, lust or failing man
hood, nervous debility, ellects of
errors, or excesses in old or young,
loss of incinory, diseases caused by
mercury in the improHir treatment
of nrivate discuses, irregularities in
women, etc., and never published

I cured at home after one visit to thu
t doctor's ollico. Medicines scut to
I any address without the doctor's

j As the outgrowth of the natural
j u.vtiun frauds of lS'.li) tho United
States circuit court at St. Louis has
declared null and void the natural-
iation piers of seventy icrsons on
1 the charge that they wcro framlu

Michigan and Pennsylvania havo

lives. Town were destroyed anil
large scojies of teiritory swept ovwr.
A railroad train was wrecked in the
midst of a lire and several men wore
burned to death.
The I'll'ort to enlist Cinalilla
Indians in the United States aiiny
was a failure, says the Iv O, and
Lieutenant Hardeman left tho
agency Thursday with bin troopers
to ret tu ti lo Fort Sherman. The
Indians say that, as their allot
ments will soon be made they do
nut wish to miss their chance to se
cure laud by becoming soldiers.
"Wo want to live on our land
