she needs assistance if too much be put upon her.Dr.Pierce\u2019s Pleasant Pellets offer the best and simplest method for furnishing this assistance.They are prompt and very effective in their action, but they are not strong nor severe.They cause no violent wrench of the system.They go right to the \u201clog\u201d that is fast and loosen it.Nature does the rest.By and by, with a little care in dieting, Nature will do it all.That\u2019s one great advantage of the \u201d Pleasant Pellets\u201d over the many strongly cathartic pills\u2014you do not become a slave to their use.They really cure the trouble they are meant to cure.Even the worst kind of chronic constipation disappears with their use.CAUTIOX.\u2014Some rtcsi-mmg t\u2019enlers do not Ïttrmit thïir customers to linvc Dr.Fierce's Fe'.-ets because inferior pills afford greater profits.Such dealers are short sighted.They overlook the fact that next time you will po where yeti 0re supplied with what you ask (or.I 1\t- - - .LACROSSE.STARS V9.NAPOLEONS, OF LEVIS.A Good Match for this Afternoon.We have much pleasure in informing our Meanest on Record.How a Female Detective Gained a Murderer's Confidence.Cleveland, July 31\u2014Romulus Cotell, the Stone murderer,has been taken to the prison, where he will be kept until his execution on Nov.6.Before his departure Cotell held a farewell reception.He greeted everyone who called pleasantly, and seemed happy at the thought of a change in his surroundings.Miss Lillian Allen, or \u201cMarion Archer,\u201d as she prefers to call herself, the Cleveland woman detective, who fascinated Cotell and drew from him a confession of the Stone murder, got her hundred dollars from the county commissioners and quietly slipped out of town.To a reporter she said she had gained lots of unenviable notoriety and was illy paid.\u201c1 went to his cell with a number of ladies who conducted religious services,\u201d said Miss Archer, \u201cin which I assisted.The boy seemed to take a liking to me aud after that I called on him quite regularly.He soon placed great confidence in me.\u201d \u201cWhat do you suppose caused him to trust you so implicitly?\u201d \u201cWell, I\u2019ll tell you,\u201d with a twinkle in her eyes.\u201cI won him by means of religion.I read the Bible to him, prayed with him, and all that sort of thing.He confessed the whole crime to me on the third visit I made to the jail ; then I kept on going, hoping to get track of the missing articles.\u201d \u201cMiss Archer, did you ever make love to Romie ?\u201d ventured the reporter.The pretty detective seemed a bit annoyed at the question, and flushed slightly.She replied that she did not care to answer.\u201cI will merely add,\u201d she said, \"that I told Cotell we would talk over the matter in all its details after he had been cleared and was out of jail.We detectives, you know, can\u2019t always choose our methods.\u201d She said Cotell has written a history of his life, and that it is in her possession.A compliment, Indeed.\u2014He\u2014\u201cI\u2019m going to pay you the highest compliment a man can pay a woman\"\u2019 She\u2014\u201cThis is so sud den.\u201d He\u2014\u201cI know it, but 1 came away without my pockotbook\u2014can you lend me $1 until to morrow ?\u201d\u2014New York World.readers that there will be a good lacrosse match on the QA.A.A.grounds this after noon, between the Stars of Quebec and the Napoleons of Levis.These two first-class junior clubs are well matched in every respect and a good light game can be anticipated.There will also be a baseball match previous to the lacrosse match, starling at 2.30 o\u2019clock.The following are names aud 80811^8 of the \u201cStar \u2019 team :\u2014Goal, Ü, lardy : Point.P.Hardy ;

first, of mice, which ate up the roots of the rice and maize; then came the cattle plague, which attacked beasts both wild aud domestic, and killed all the buffaloes ; and now the locusts.As I returned from Kopa Kopa an immense cloud of locusts were darkening the air.They sped along at the rate of four miles an hour, settling on every patch of maize, millet, or sorghum.All the natives were out, old and young, beating drums, shouting, rushing here and there, and beating crops with swishes to drive the pests away.In spite of their efforts the crops will be destroyed.The natives are very careless about the future ;
