WADHAMSJN JAIL.
Wednesday, on complaint of John
Fancher, Deputy sherifi' Fred 8. Lyon
placed the irrepressible W.J. Wadbams
under arrest. The charge against Wad-
hams was that of retaining possession
of something over $100 to which be had
no right.
The sheriff accompanied his prisoner
to Stamford where Mr. Wadhams hoped
to meet a Mr. Woodhull who he thought
would act as his bondsman. Mr. Wood-
hull could not be found and Mr. Wad-
hams said “Well. Lyon you might as
well tuke me to j til.”
There was a stormy meeting between
Wadhams and Fancher, during the day.
During the not altogether polite con-
versation between the two, Fancher
told Wadhams that if he ,would take
390 of the sum he had in his possession
and pay the firm of Cunuiug'ha'gi & Co.
he would withdraw the complaint and
see that he was set free. '
Wudbums laughed at the proposition,
preferring to Take his jail ‘medlcine,
which he is tt-juy erjoymg, perhaps.
Mr. Fancher has kindly paid for
three weeks in advance the sum of $6 75,
the price charged by the County for
their hospitality to Mr. Wadhams as a
guest at the jail.
Mr. Fancher is trying he says, to
straight-en up the affairs of the concern
in an as aquitable a manner as he pos-
sibly car..
It is not believed by some that Wad-
hams’lncarceration in jail Will be an ex-
tended one, as it is thought that some
one will come to his rescue and‘furnish
the proper bond for his release.
Wadhams has declined to take the
poor debaters oath or handover to
Fancher any money he may buys in his
powession.

is made returnable before the Town
Court the first Monday in June.

Fountain pens are rather older than
most peeple imagine. As long ago as
1824 they were in use, for in that your
Thomas Jefferson saw a co-ntrivaucc
of this sort, tried it, and wrote to Gen-
enal Bernard Peyton, of Richmond,
Va, asking him‘to get one of them. The
penwas of gold and the ink tube of
silver, and, according to J efiersou’s let-
ter, the maker was a Richmond watch
’tepairer, named Cowan. The price, he
understood, was $5. The first Ameri-
can patent for a fountain pen. was
granted in 1830, to one Douglass Hyde,

sued twenty-one years bcf'orr:."-Scienr

Some men are afraid
of death, some are
not. Most of us
would rather not meet
the grim dc. iroyer to-
day. We would rather
put it off until to-mor-
row, or until next
year. Mere wishes do
‘ not count for much in
the matter. \A man
f. .. may not want to die.
‘ He may not want to
be sick. He ,may wish
and hope and pray
‘ that he will not be
sick not meet death,
but wishing and hoping won't help him.
It is' what he does, and not what he
wishes that serve his purpose. If a man
is losing flesh, and..is nervous, irritable.
sleepless and debilitated, he may Wish he
would get well, but one bottle of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
do more than an ocean of wishes. If 'a
man is on the way to consumption, he
should make a. stop as quickly as pos-
sible. He should put on brakes. He
needn’t be afraid he has consumption it
he will do the right thing—if he will
just take the right medicine. The “Gold-
en Medical Discovery" cures incipient
and well developed consumption. Con-
sumption is a germ disease and a blood
disease. The “Golden Medical Dis-
covery " kills the germs and purifies the
blood. It increases the appetite, helps
digestion, makes assimilation perfect,
and so builds up solid, wholesome flesh.
Hundreds of grateful eople afilicted
with consumption, bronc ial, throat and
kindred diseases, have testified that it
has actually saved their lives. For the
sake of the information they contain,
some of these letters have been included
in Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser, a thousand page, illustrated
book, which will be sent free on receipt
of twenty-one (21) one-cent stamps to

should have a copy for ready reference
