O i THE AEGHJS, TIIORSDAY, ATJOUST 2ly 1902. Will 0' The Wisp. WOMEN WHO ABE LED A- STRAY BY . MISCHIEV OUS IIABSH FIRES. Illustrative of the baneful power of the marsh fire, there is told the story of a -woman who lost her way. She turned in this direction and in that, hopelessly puzzled as to her whereabouts in the murky night. Presently ahead of her she saw the gleam of a light. At once she saw in fancy the picture of home, the t lamp in the window, the cozy comfort of ' those under the shelter of the protecting roof, "curtained and closed and warm." Steadfastly 6he moved towards the light. But as she moved it seemed to change its position. It was always a little far- ther away from her and presently when she sank down exhausted in a swamp the light disappeared altogether. , Whatever truth there may be in the story, it forcibly illustrates the career of many a woman who has followed the marsh fire of love in the belief tfcat it led to home and comfort and found herself at last exhausted and deceived. f - IT'S. A BITTER LESSpN learned by many a woman who thought love all-sufficient, that love alone cannot be the foundation of the home. It needs health. Strange as it may seem the beautiful loving woman who is weak may lose the love of the husband for whom she broke all home ties, while ou the other hand a woman who has no greater dower than robust health may win and hold the love of her husband past all possibility of loss. The first re quisite of marriage is health. The wife's first necessity is health. Health must be the mother's or she will know no happiness in her children. What makes ill-health so common among women? Why do they suffer with headache, back ache and pains past description ? These sufferings are in general caused by dis ease of the delicate womanly organs, and they are in general curable by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. " I take great pleasure iq writing you . what great benefit yqur 'Favorite Pre scription, 'Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pellets have done me," says Mrs. P. A. Graham, of 617 Race St., New Orleans, La. I have been a con stant sufferer for the last eight years with female weakness, nervous and gen eral debility, trying everything I could find to help me, but to no avail. Have been treated by several country physi cians, and also had some of the best city physicians prescribe for me. They all said my case was incurable and was a chronic disease of long standing, but, thanks be to God and your great med icine, I have found relief at last, and soon will be cured sound and well again. I have taken three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and two of 'Golden Medical Discovery and two vials of his Pleasant Pellets.' I can't describe in words how much benefit I have received from them. I think your medicine is the best in the world for female diseases and for the blood.

"THE LAST SHAX.T. BB FIRST." - How many times that saying is illus trated by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription. It's the last thing which is tried and the first to help. It's often the last resort of hopeless women and the first medicine to .claim their gratitude by an absolute emancipation from the thraldom of disease. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong, sick women well. It establishes womanly regularity, stops enfeebling drains, heals inflamma tion and ulceration and cures female weakness. v I suffered for six years with ovarian trouble," writes Mrs. E. Waite, of (Lake View PostofGce), Chicago, 111. "Some times I could hardly walk, and when I had to cough it felt as though a knife was cutting me. My hands and feet - were cold all the time. I bad such a tired feeling and such a poor appetite, and when I went to bed I slept only about two hours at a time. A friend ad vised me to use Doctor Pierce's medicines, for they had helped her; so I got a bottle of 'Favorite Prescription and by the time I had used two bot tles I felt so much better that I continued until I had taken eight bottles of ' Favorite Prescription and one of Dr. Pierce' Golden Medical Discov ery, and now I am so well that my friends remark how well I am looking. I can go to bed now and sleep till morn ing. ,My appetite is splendid and all that tired feeling has left me. I hope others will do- as I have done just give Dr. Pierce's medicines a fair trial, and they will be sure to derive much benefit, as I have. I am so thankful to think I am so well.' - WHAT WELt, 'VTOMEJJSAY. Here a few brief statements culled from letters of omn cured by the use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription : w I feel like a different being and I look well." Mrs. Maggie Spelts, 410 Eighth Street, Mount Vernon, Posey Co., Ind. "When I think how I was five" years ago and how I am now, I say, God bless Dr. Pierce's work for women. I have had no return of my weakness and am well and hearty." Mrs. Fred Kempson, Cambria, Hillsdale Co., Mich., Box 57. "Two bottles of 'Favorite Prescrip tion ' and one of ' Golden Medical Dis covery made a new woman of me." Mrs. C. Nelson, Chemawa, Marion Co., Oregon. - There is no alcohol in Favorite Pre scription " and it is altogether free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. Do not allow the dealer to push off on you a substitute for " Favorite Prescrip tion " claiming that it is "just as good."

The secret service has discovered that some one is raising $1 bills to $5 by a clever method of changing the figures, and unless they are closely examined will pass unnoticed.

MOLINE MENTION The annual picnic of the First Bap tist, church and Sunday school is- be ing held at Black Hawk Tower today. OO At the meeting of Camp 38, M. W. A., last evening, the committee 'hav ing in charge the picnic of last Thursday made glad the hearts of the members by reporting that each canip which had contributed to the expense fund would be reimbursed in full amount with 100 per cent.' in terest. The big affair had proven a great success and There was enough of a balance to warrant Fuch a sub stantial remuneration to each camp and a refund to refreshment places here so that the donation of each would amount to $5. It was decid ed to send a committee of two to Galesburg Friday to meet officials of the Burlington road and of the Ful ton County Woodmen Picnic associa tion In the effort to sift down the re sponsibility for the road's failure to unload the excursionists here. OO' In preparation of the school year which begins Sept. 1, the teachers committee and the superintendent of schools have issued the annual ros ter of teachers for the high and grad cd school corps. It will be noticed from the roster that the Miss es Esther J. Palmquist and Edna B. Reed have been appointed to fill the vacancies caused bv the rcsignn tion of Miss Estella McCarthy and other teachers. Miss Florence A McCarthy has been appointed libra rian for another year in the high school, vice Miss Fannie Entrikin, re signed. Walter D. Baker, who sue eeeds Mr. Drake as teacher of chem istry and physics in the high school arrived from Chicago this morning OO Florence, 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Johnson, of HL'O Filth avenue, Tuesday jumped off a porch railing at her home and caught her tongue between her teeth, biting it so badly that several stitches were necessary to close the cut. OO Harry Fox, a lineman, knows now what it would feel like to be killed by an electric current. At any rate he has a quite approximate idea of the sensalions experienced by a man in the electric chair. About 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon Harry Fox. who has been employed by the Peoples Power company only a few days, was put to work by -om Burchcll on a pole lit Fourth street and Third ave nue, his duty being to transfer the wires. Two other employes of the company were at work upon Ihe same job. Suddenly Fox was seen to draw himself up, his muscles becom ing contracted. There was a faint sizzle where the wires touched him, and it was seen bv his fellow-laborers that In his right hand he. grasped one wire while another wire 'touched his left shoulder. As the current of :.5H volts passed through his body the muscles were greatly contracted Quick action was necessary in order to save his life. One of the workmen proinptlv ran to the power station and ordered the current shut off from the wires from which Fox was hanging. The other workmen tied a rope around .the body of the injured man to prevent it from falling to the ground when the current was switch ed off. Fox was unconscious at the time. When the muscles airain re laxed, indicating the cessation of the current, the body was lowered to the ground by the rope and a doctor summoned. Then it was found Fox was suffering from severe burns both on his right hand and left shoulder, the latter being burned to a crisp The fact that his shirt was wet with perspiration and consequently dis tributed the current over a large area probably accounts for his bein alive today, as the shock was more than was necessary to produce death. The injured man was taken to the citv hospital. OO A missing diamond belonging to Mrs. August Paulsen and the circum stances attending its disappearance and recovery yesterday unfolds a story which has the modern melo drama clearlv in the shade except for the romance. The" story develop- etl in tne ponce court late yesterday afternoon when Frank Earll, the ball player, was charged with the theft of the ring. Earll was easily cleared and it later developed that George Bell, who had testified against Earll, for whom he professed friendship, was the real thief and was also guilty of perjury' in his evidence against the accused. Bell was connected with' the carnival company which showed here last week, and during that time he had been rooming at the Paulsen home. He had made the acquaintance of Frank Earll and the two had made arrangements to attend the. Cambridge fair. EarU called to see Bell Tuesday morning concerning the trin and found -his man in bed. But after waiting a while he found Bell up ami -dressed on going a secomi time to his room. Earll left, the house shortlv after. and meanwhile Mrs. Paulsen discovered- that her diamond rintr which she had left , in the bath room, was missing. Bell volunteered the in formation that Earll was probably guilty of the theft and offered to 1....W up Earll and possiblv recover ... , - the ring. According to Bell's own story, he found Earll at Sixteenth street and third avenue, where Earll exhibited the ring, which he was wearing on one of his fingers. Mrs. Paulsen swore out a warrant against Earll and in the afternoon he was found by Officer Wigers at the Te- pria depot in Rock Island. A hear ing was given liim before Magistrate Olson at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but on the evidence" of Dr. Dundy, who is temporarily occupying Dr. Cox's offjee and is rooming at the Paulsen residence, the case was dismissed. Dr. Dundy explained that he was in the bath - room shaving during the time Earll was supposed to have ac complished the theft. The fact that Bell was guilty of the theft was dis covered through the suspicions of Millie Paulsen. When Bell was sum moned to appear at the -police station to give his testimony, the girl noticed that before he departed he went into the bath room nnd remained there only for a moment. After he had gone she commenced to search the room in the hope of finding the lost ring, and her efforts were soon re warded, by discovering it on fop of the water-box. She immediately started for the police station, but met her mother and sister returning from the hearing after the case had been dismissed. The finding of the ring was not communicated to the police until this morning and as a consequence Bell had plenty of time to make himself scarce.
