ABSOLUTELY PURE
To Assassinate Durrant. ,
San Francisco, Sept. 19. -The
piiise have discovered and frustrated
a plot to assassinate Durrant. The
plot was concocted by a welKknown
criminal, while awaiting sentence in
thft o.nnntv iail. He expressed his

The man was scared, of course, and
wished that he or the snake was in
Kentucky or some other soyerignty.
He was afraid to move lest the snake
prove quicker than he and resent
the move by driving its fangs into
the hand. About the time he was
beginning to get desperate his
Scotch Terrier bounded into the
room and shook it until no two joints
stuck together.
Elections tase placd this year in
eleven States, one-quarter of the
whole number, and but few are
really important. The States voting

Nebraska, New York, New Jersey,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. A Governor
will be returned in Iowa, Kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts, "Mississip
pi, New Jersey and Ohio, and four
of the seyen now have Democratic
Governors. Besides these Utah will
abandon the territorial stage and
become a State, chocsmg a fall set
of o&cers. The interesting: contests
are in Kentucky, Maryland, New
Jersey and'Ohio.
A church in Lodi,' New Jersey,
wa3 recently painted. and yarnished,
and by Sunday the seats were, to all
appeal ances, perfectly dry. But
when the congregation had been
Seated a short while the 'warmth
Jfrom their bodies softened the var
nish. ; Then. each, member realiz d
what it was to stick "closer than a
brother." The harm done to-ttie
various Sunday-go-to-meeting out
fits wa3 considerable, and the con
gregation are - now trying to see
where the funny part of the whole
affair, which; the outsiders seem to
appreciate, come? in,
kilung Durrant at the first opportu-'
nity, and the matter coming to the
ears of the sheriff, an extra precau
tion was taken not .to alllow Dur
rant to exercise with the other
prisoners, and to drive him to and
from the court either i i a buggy or
outside the prison van. On search
being made of the cell, ia broken
table knife, whetted to a keen edge,
was found therein. The prisoner
has since been sentenced to twenty
years in the penitentiary.
Before being taken to the peniten
tiary he admitted to the police that
it was tot his intention 'to kill Dnrn
rant, but that he had no oppor
tunity to use his knife. The police
ref use to divulge the name of the
criminal. ;

AfarTeloas Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J
Gunderman, of Diamondalc, Mich.,
we are permitted to make this ex
tract: "I have no hesitation in re
commending Dr. Kin g's New Dis
covery, as the results were almost
marvelous in the case of my wife.
While I was pastor ' of the Baptist
Church at -Rives Junction she wae
brought . down' with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible
paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive
them. A. friend recommended Dr.
King's Nee Discovery; it was quick
in its work and .highly satisfactory in
results' Trial bottles free : at,

tion, and was so well satisfied with
the result that I have never tried
any other kind of dressing. It stop
ped the hair from falling out, stimu
lated a new growth of hair, and kept
the scalp free from dandruff. Only
an occasional application is now
needed to keep my hair of good,
natural color. I never hesitate to
recommend any of Ayer's medicines
to my friends. 'Mrs. II. M. Haigiit,
