England's wheat area was di minished by 510,000 acres, over 26 per cent last year, while at the same time the number of pigs was increased over half a million, or 21 i per cent. It is evident that the country cannot profitably produce its own breasdtuffs, but no roason has yet been found for the turn to ward pork. - We know whereof we affirm when we state that Ayer's Pills, taken promptly, at the first symp toms of cold and fevers, arrest further progress of these disorders, and speedily restores the stomach, liver, and bowels, to their normal and regular action. ALL WITHIN 20 HOURS. Punishment Meted Out to Edward Downs, a Forger. Edward Downs, a barber in ' the employ of Charles Fuqua, was ar rested by Sheriff Houser on Sun day night within a few minutes after he had passed a forged check for $20 at the Hotel Pendleton, says the Tribune. The check was accepted by night clerk Hayes, who advanced Downs $5 on it. The clerk had no doubt as to the genu ineness ot the paper, or if he had, it was dispelled by the sight of a customer's draft on the First Nat ional bank for $3465 which Downs showed him. The draft bore what purported to be the signature of Sam P, Sturgis, cashier of the bank. Sheriff Houser was sitting in the lobby of the hotel, and when Downs took his departure asked to be shown the check. He failed to Bee any resemblance between the alleg ed signature of Mr. Sturgis on the paper and the signature of that gentleman on other documents. This aroused his suspicion, and he inquired of the bank officials whether Downs had an account with the bank as he asserted. Re ceiving a negative reply, he return ed to the hotel and arrested the forger. On the way to the county jal Downs broke away, and led tho sheriff and Deputy Sheriff Carney a merry chase up Water street to Thompson, down to Court, back toward Water, where he was head ed off by Mr. Carney, and down to words Alta. Deputy Carney fired three shots in the grdund, and the reports of the revolver had the ef fect ot bringing the prisoner to a halt. He wa3 then taken to the jail. When searched, the draft for $3465, and several forged checks, one for $10 and one for $5, atChas. Beale's confectionery store. Downs was arranged before Jus tice Pa rkes Monday, and was re manded to the grand jury. Downs was indicted by the grand jury, arranged before Judge Lowell, and, pleading guilty, was sentenc ed to two years in the penitentiary. All this happened within 20 hours after his arrest. ' .' ... BODY OF AN INFANT. Found in a Bank of Earth In East Pen dleton. A Pendleton paper tells of the finding by workmen, of a box con taining the skeleton of a baby in an out-of-the-way place in east Pendleton. It was found in a bank 25 or 30 feet from the railway crossing on the north side and 200 yards west of the city pump sta tion. 1 he box was lb inches be. neath the surface. It was about the size of a maccaroni box, 18 inches long 8 inches wide and about five inches deep, the body was wasted away and only the skeleton was left, covered with the garments which"had been placed about it before tho mother or father or some one else, consigned it to its lonely resting place apart from those who inhabit the city of the dead. The clothing appeared to be well pre served, but when handled it crum bled and fell to pieces. Coroner George Kimerytook tho body in charge and gave it burial in the cemetery. Mr. Jacques, who is one of the contractors, had Had the ground broken and the teams in passing over it had effaced ary marks which might have been left by thoee who buried it in this de serted place. Mr. Kiraery thought tho body had been there for three years or moro, although the box did not appear to have been long under ground, as the wood was not in the least rotted. Stockholders' Meeting.

Worth Your Confidence. Tho success of Hood's Sarsapar illa i s conquering scrofula in what ever way it may manifest itself is vouched for by thousands who were afflicted by this prevalent disease, but who now rejoice over a permanent cure by Hood's Sarsa parilla. Scrofula may appear as a humor, or it may attack the glands of the neck, or break out in dread ful running sores on the body or limbs. Attacking the musoua membrane, it may develop into catarrh or lodging in the lungs lead to consumption. GUILTY OF ASSAULT. John Scibert Convicted and Sentenced to Jail. John Scibert, indicted for assault with a dangerous weapon upon John Mason, had his trial before Judge Lowell in the circuit court last Saturday. . The evidence tend ed to show that late in June, Sci bert suspected Mason of having torn down a fence and a sign of "Wood for Sale," belonging to him, and determined to have revenge for the fancied wrong. He secured a shotgun and fired at Mason as he was returning to his home near Weston, but fortunately missed his mark. He then picked up a rifle and pursued Mason for several miles, but was unable to overtake him. The case was given to the jury about 5 o'clock, and at 9:15 a verdict of guilty was returned. The defendant was recommended to the mercy of the court, and, waving time for sentence was given one month in the county jail. W. M. Pierce was the attorney for Scibert. Mr. Lawrey represented the state. Catarrh is a constitutional dis ease and cannot be cured by local applications.
