THE DODGE CITY TIMES.
THE HEW NICKSIi GIXDBBS).
The United States authorities rerort that
the city "crooks" are beoomimg expert! in
the gilding of the new 5-oent pieete and
pawing them for $5 gold coins, and recom
mended caution on the part of people to
keep from being fooled by them. In some
instances the deception of the gilding is
farthered by skillful milling of the edges,
and anyone not thoroughly posted can readi
ly be deceived by the coins so tampered
with. On the face of these pieces appears to
be an exact counterpart of the genuine $5
gold piece,) and the change in the other one
can readily be supposed to be the result of a
new coinage, there being nothing to indicate
that the V does not stand for $5. The field
for the perpetration of the fraud among
those who do not read the newspapers is al
most unlimited. A dispatch from Nashville
reports that last Monday night W. G. Wood
ward was arrested in that city on a telegram
from Chief of Police Campbell, of St. Louie,
saying that Woodward was wanted by the
Federal authorities on a charge, of passing
gilded nickels for $5 gold pieces.
The St. Louis authorities were notified of
the arrest, and replied that they would send
a requisition for the prisoner. Woodward
is a newspaper reporter employed some years
ago on St. Louis papers, and recently in a
similar capacity in Nashville.
The Federal Grand Jury reported to the
court last evening finding indictmentB
against a half-dozen of the counterfeiters
and petty revenue offenders already in custo
dy. Two indictments were found against
parties not yet arrested, and one of thtee is
euppoped to be intended for a gilded nickel
passer. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
An exchange says: The flesh of the sheep
is the best meat in the world; it is also the
poorest. A lean, thin sheep, that has out
lived its usefulness as a wool bearer, and
been cut down by the relentless knife as a
cumberance of the pasture ground, and con
signed to the pot in the vain hope of masce
rating its toughened fibers, affords an un
savory and unpalatable meat, which has
taught many to loath the very name of
mutton and abominate its very smell. On
the contrary, not the aromantic flavors of
venison, the gamey richness of wild foul, or
the Hweet juices of a Short-horn sirloin can
surpass the virtues of Southdown marrow
and fatness. It iB sweeter to the palate,
more digeBtible, and more nutritious than
any other variety of meat food.

Eugene Field says that Wiggins came in
like a ten-ton dornick and went out like a
spit ball.

Tht kill of Buffalo last winter was seti
mated at 80,000, which from the report of
hides shipped, is very close to the mark.
Ths kill this winter promises to fall a long
way short of last. A dealer who was a
buyer in the field, says ha has, so far only
900 hides. Tht amount of the matter is
that buffalo art rapidly btctming extinct
and unless tht attempt madt to domesticate
the animal succeeds, the noblest American
game will pass into history before the next
census.
It is certainly pleasant to have been borne
a man. One doesn't have to bother himself
for a month over the plans and specifications
of a new spring bonnet. He simply has to
foot the bill when the thing is brought home,
and if the two combine produce paralysis
he's not to blame for it.

Nothing Short of Unmistakable
Benefits
Conferred upon tens of thousands of
sufferers could originate and maintain
the reputation which Ayer's Sarsa
tarilla enjoys. It is a compound of
the best vegetable alteratives, with the
Iodides of Potassium and Iron, all
powerful, blood-making, blood-cleansing
and life-sustaining and is the most
effectual of all- remedies for scrofu
lous, mercurial, or blood disorders.
Uniformly successful and certain, it
produces rapid and complete cures of
Scrofula, Sores, Boils, Humors, Pim
ples, Eruptions, Skin Diseases and all
disorders arising from impurity of the
blood. By its invigorating effects it
always relieves and often cures Liver
Complaints, Female Weaknesses and
Irregularities, and is a potent renewer
of waning vitality. For purifying the
blood it has no equal. It tones up the
system, restores and preserves the
health, and imparts vigor and energy.
For forty years it has been in extensive
use, and is to-day the most available
medicine for the suffering sick.
For sale by all druggists.
