A 71-YEAR-OLD WOMAN DISCHARGED A Captive of Night Sergeant Schiffert Goes to the Eastern Penitentiary--Beatty's Respectable Connections in Ohio. There was a surprise in the Stroudsburg court yesterday, when T. C. Beatty and Harry Otis, alias Howard, pleaded guilty the charge of forgery.

is a nephew of General Beatty, and has many influential At one time he practiced jaw in the State of Michigan. Mrs. Beatty, 71 years of age, who has been confined to the county jail with Beatty and Howard. pleaded not guilty and was discharged. Judge Craig sentenced the men to one year and three months at separate and solitary confinement in the Eastern Penitentiary, and also inflicted upon them costs of prosecution.

The details of the forgery case are still fresh. The men, while boarding at the Analomink House, East Stroudsburg, beat the bank in that borough on a draft for $26.50. The Beattys in Allentown and Howard in Daston. it subsequently found that the Beattys were wanted in Southern cities. Ex-Congressman John B.

Storm pleaded for Mrs. Beatty. The Beattys were caught in Allentown through the persistent effort of Night Sergeant Schiffert. Thinking that Easton was too hot for them they came to Allentown one evening several months ago and boldly registered at the American. When the Stroudsburg and Easton officers followed them a few hours later they passed the precious pair by at the American and then searched every other hotel in Allentown.

Sergt. Schiffert felt the lodgers at the American were the people they wanted and such proved to be the case. The forgers were disguised as traveling photographers and looked very respectable.

four still remain. Two are yet carrying bullets in their brains, of which they cannot be relieved unless through the aid of rays to bullets, 89 otherwise the operation would be dangerous. George Casparick, one ofe the men with a bullet in his brain, was completely paralyzed on the right side of the body for some time, but one morning about a month ago this paralysis suddenly disappeared, and the physicians ascribe this condition to the dislodgement of the bullet which was bearingr on the nerves which caused the paralysis. The other man carrying a bullet in his head is Andrew Slavonic. Both of these patients suffered terribly in the beginning, but now feel no pain.

The Worst case in the institution is that of Bernard Roman, who was shot in the abdomen. It is doubtful if he will ever recover. POOR HOUSE BUTCHERING. Two Beeves and 20 Hogs Slaughtered There To-Day. The Christmas butchering, the second for this season, took place at the poor house to-day.

At a friend's house I had Postum that was a revelation. It clear and beautiful deep seal brown, almost black, and the taste crisp, piquant and elegant. Inquiry developed that my cook had been accustomed to placing the boiler on the stove and leaving it there 15 minutes, 'but the secret is to allow it to continue boiling full 15 minutes after it commences to boil. That makes it delicious and extracts the food value. It is plain that I cannot use common coffee and I have no further desire to since Postum is understood." LODGES CHOSE OFFICERS.

W. KECK, Cashier. SECRET OF HAPPINESS. In What Does It Consist and How Few Women Ever Find It. This lady is happy principally because she is healthy.

It is sad that all other women do not enjoy equally good health. Ah! weak, weary women, tired and broken down, whose lives are made miserable through the blighting influence of female complaints, why do you suffer? Why allow yourself to become "blue." discouraged and despondent? Why endure the torture of backaches, headaches, bearing down pains, nervousness and other weaknesses caused by menstrual or womb troubles? There is help for you all other women who suffer in this way. Read these words which were recently written by one woman who sought and found relief. Mrs. H.

P. G. Carnes, one of the best known ladies of Butler, says: "For nearly three years was under the doctor's care, a constant sufferer from female weaknesses in the most aggravated form. Medicine did me no good and my suffering was so great that at times I felt that death would be a a relief. At last, a discovery of which I had heard much but about which knew little, was recommended to me and I decided to try it.

Before I had finished one bottle, I was astonished at the marvelous change it made in my health. It has completely cured me. I am now feeling perfectly well, am able to attend to all my duties and owe my restored health wholly to that grand discovery Warner's Safe Cure." This only one case among thousands in which this great remedy has been the means of curing the distressing ailments peculiar to women. Time and again it has proved to be unequaled for giving quick and permanent relief. No woman who wishes to escape misery and suffering can afford to be without it.

It is a that can be relied upon. a never remedy, fails, and one that has always proved to be woman's best friend.
