ARSOLUTELY PURE
THAT HOLE ‘IN THE NEWS.
CAUSED MUCH CURIOSITY IN THE
CITY AND COUNTY.
Why It Was There--Some Important and
Interesting News for Our Readers.
The identical space occupied by this
item was cut from the last issue of Tne
News. It created intense curiosity, and
there were hundreds of inquiries at this
office to learn the cause of it. The in
terest in the matter was so great that a
a large number sent to our office for an
other copy of the paper—one that had
not been clipped, and one gentleman
quit his work and came to THe NEws
office to learn why a piece had been
clipped from his paper. Every man and
woman in the city has asked about it,
and the interest it created is only equal
ed by that taken in the handsome new
lot of watches and jewelry that has just
been received by the Sale-Davis Drug
Co. Their display 1s the handsomest of
the kind ever exhibited in Dawson, and
they are selling at wonderfully low
prices. They are also selling Webster’s
Unabridged Dictionaries at $1.75.

It has been conjectured that the secret
antedeluvian longevity was some meth

vigorous. Moderns accomplish the same
purpose by using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla—

Under the Spell of a Curse.
From the Fort Worth Gazette. .
There is a young woman in Bonner
Springs, Kansas, who believes she is nn
der the intluence of a curse. Sheis a
most estimable young woman, but some
time ago, while suffering from a nervous
attack, she was accosted by a tramp who
came to her door and §begged for some
thing to eat. As the family had been so
bothered with tramps, she answered him
very shortly and told him to get away
from the place, or she would set the dogs
on him. 7The man insisted that he was
almost starving, and she slammed the
door in his face.
About an hour later a knock came to
the door, and she went there only to
find that the man had returned, This
time he did not ask for food, but, as
soon as the door was opened, he began
calling down maledictions on the head
of the girl. At first she was inclined to
get angry, and started to cull for some
one to have the man arrested, but as his
bitter words continued she became terri
bly frightened, anl, at last, fainted, in
which condition she was found by her
mother, who had heard the noise. = The
man had disappeared. During the
curse the tramp had called down a spirit
of unrest on her, and told her that he
wished her to always feel hungry and
like wandering, so that she would know
what it was to be a poor tramp.
The girl was ill for several days after
the adventure, but is now in appavent
good health, She says that she feels
that she is under a curse. She is
restless, and spends her time walking up
and down about the place, and complains
of never getting enough to eat. She
eats very little, for her stomach will not
bear it, but she says she never feels as
if she had anything to eat.
Physicians who have been called in to
see her pronounce it a case of hysterieal
mania, and think {thar it will wear off in
the course of time, if efforts are made to
get the girl's mind from the tramp. The
parents ;are making fefforts to send her
east to visit relatives, but the girl insis's
that she is perfectly well, except that
she knows the tramp's curse will follow
her to the grave,

The Fair Ophelia.
“I thought thy bride-bed to have decked
sweet maid,
And not have strewed thy grave.”
The Danish queen was not an exem
plary wife, but was doubtless sincere in
her grief at Ophelia’s death. In eyery
land we see the purest and sweetest of
Eve's daughters gathered to early graves.
A perfeet and reliable cure for female
complaints is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Preseription, a medicine beyond = all
praise, which has saved many a young
life threatened by the insidious approach
of disease. For chronic female derange
ments, weak back, lassitude, nervous
pess and poor appetite, it is without an
equal: a generous tonie, a safe nervine,
purely vegetable, and warranted to give
satisfaction, or price (%1,00) refunded.

- They went to see the family lawyer
vesterday—Mary Ann and her mother.
Mary Ann was a little embarrassed, but
the old lady was calmness itself. When
they spoke about a breach of promise,
the lawyer said:
“What evidence have you?”
“Mary Ann produce the letters,” com
manded the mother, and the girl took
off the cover of the clothes basket, and
remarked that she thought nine hundred
and seven letters would do to begin with;
the other six hundred and fifty-one
would be produced as soon as the case
was fairly before the court.
‘And besides the letters?”’ queried the
lawyer.
“Mary Ann, produce your diary,”
said the mother. “Now turn to the
heading of ‘promise,” and tell him how
many times this marriage business was
talked over.”
“The sum total is two hundred and
fourteen times,” answered the girl,
“Now turn to the heading of ‘Darling’
and give s the number of times he has
appied that term toyou,”
“If I have culculated rightly, the num
ber is nine thousand two hundred and
fift -for r times.”
“I favey you counted pretty correctly,
for you are good at arithmetic. Now,
turn to the heading of ‘Newport Cottage,’
and tell us how many times he has talk
ed of such a home for you after mar
riage?”’
“One thousand three hundred and
ninety-five times.”
“Very well, This gentleman wants to
be sure that we've a case. How many
times has Charles Henry said he would
die.for you?”
“Three hundred and fifty,” answercd
the gill.
“How many times has he called you
an angel?”
“Over eleven thousand, mamma.” |
“How about squeezing hands?’
“Over three hundred and eighty-four
thousand squeezes.”’ |
“And kisses?”’
“Nearly four hundred and seventeen |
thousand.” j
“And about reading poetry, singing 1
duets, and taking mooning walks toget!.-
er?”’
“The numbers are on this paper,” said
the girl, handing a slip to the lawyer.
“That's our case,” said the mother, as
she deposited baske! and diary on the
lawyer's table. Look over the docu
ments, and if you want anything further
I can bring a dozen neighbors to swear
to facts. We sue for $lO,OOO damages,

company responded promptly and soon
extinguished the flames, not however,
before a considerable hole had been
burned. ;
