Columbia, S. C., April 10.—(Special.)— "A mysterious woman in black'' has caused u sensation in Walterboro. S. J. Fennell, a farmer and lumberman, residing near that place, was arrested yesterday and placed in jail on the charge ot forgery. The mysterious woman, who is de scribed as quiet and handsome, appeared at th. Farmers and Merchants’ bank of Walt'-rboro on March -7 and presented a check for $C'. bearing the signature of \\ . <> Thompson. Jr . drawn on the Bank of Hampton In favor of one of his mar vied sisters, whom she impersonated She received the money without question. Fennell's connection with the case is that be is said to have accompanied the woman from Walterboro to Hampton, .-.mversing with her the preceding day. i At Hampton, it is said, she presented a cheek for a similar sum. but owing to | some error payment was refused. Fennell admits seeing her on the train, but denies knowledge of her identity. ; Another mystifying feature of th® case is that the woman must have known the extent of Thompson's deposits in the Bank of Hampton, and also familiar I with his signature.

Manufacturers Supply * J / i THE TARGET. CUPID REACHES A HAN’S HEART THROUGH THE STOMACH. There is no disputing the fact that man’s heart is often reached through the stomach. Happy the housewife who can please her husband's appetite with well cooked food for the table. Many a man is grouchy, ugly, nervous, suffering from distress after eating, heart palpi tation, and all through the overworked stomach. No chain is stronger than its weakest link. No man is stronger than his stomach. If the proner elements in the food are not taken up bv the blood j in the stomach and carried to the vital ■ organs of the body, one's health breaks I down and one leaves the gates open for i the entrance of disease germs. The l germs of typhoid fever, grip, malaria, • pneumonia and consumption cannot pass I through the stomach into the intestines, where alone they arc capable of going j unless the stomach has first been weak ened by disease, indigestion, dyspepsia or errors in diet. Keep the stomach healthy, the boxvels regulated and the blood pure and rich and vour body is a stronghold against which the germs of disease cannot make a successful attack. If your blood is impure and von are sometimes pale or have the other signs of bad blood, such as pimples, boils and j eruptions, you should at once take warn ing. NATt’RE THE PHYSICIAN. Nature is the real physician in such cases, for Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo N. X’., years ago discovered that certain herbs and roots made into an extract, ’ without the use of alcohol, was the ! very best means of putting the stom ' aeh, blood ami vital organ., mt prop -ler condition. His Dr. Pierce’s Gold- J en Medical Discovery helps the as- ; similation of the food in the stomach, j assists the blood in taking tip the proper ’ elements from the food, helps tile liver into activity, thereby throwing out the i poisons in the blood and vitalizing the whole system. This assimilation helps in the oxidation of the red blood cor puscles, the poisons in 'he system are ‘ eliminated, the heart gets the right kind | of blood and the person feels invigorated I and stronger in consequence. As a tis- ■ 1 sue builder it is far preferable to cod | liver oil or any alcoholic compounds or tonics, because it give: the blood and : the tissues the food elements thex- re ' quire and maintains a person's nutrition I by enabling him to eat. retain, digest • and assimilate nutritious food It over i comes the gastric irritability and syttip | toms of indigestion. Because of the good effects front using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery upon nntri- I tion and the building up of the tissues, i catarrh, consumption, weakness or de i bilitv and symptoms of fever, night j sweats, headaches, etc., disappear. THE CHAIN OF LIFE. I Each of the chief organs of thy body • is a link in the chain of life.' A chain is ' no stronger than its weakest link, the body no stronger than its weakest or gan. If there is weakness of heart or lungs, liver or kidneys, there is a weak link in the chain of life which may snap at any time. Often this so-called '’weakness” is caused by lack of nutri tion, the result of disease of the stomach. Diseases of the stomach and its - allied organs are cured by the use of Dr. i Pierce's Golden Medical Discover}. When the diseased stomach is cured, diseases of other organs which seem re mote from the stomach, but which have ' their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and other organs of diges tion and nutrition, are cured also. THE FARMER FAILS : In health just as does the city-man, and he fails cotnmonlv from the same cause, '’stomach trouble.” The farm is a i wholesome place to live ; the farmer's ' life is a healthy life ; but no externa! advantages can overcome the effects of i diseased stomach. When the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and : nutrition are diseased, the food eaten is j I L I I 11 is nock xv.-is broken .md h* was pro- j ; vounc< (I <b-;i<l in eh x eii minut Doctors Meet in Columbus.

DANGER SIGNALS. - No engineer would be mad enough to ' run bv the flag which signaled danger. What the danger was he might not un derstand, but he would take no chances. It is different with the average man or I woman. They attempt constantly to r ; run by the danger signals of Nature and ! that attempt costs thousands of lives i every year. When the appetite becomes ; irregular or entirely gives out, when sleep is troubled and broken, when there 1 , is loss of flesh, when there is a constant ’ I feeling of dullness and languor, Nature ’is hoisting the danger signal. The J stomach and its allied organs are failing ’ in their work and the body is losing J , the nutritition on which its strength , , depends. * Such a condition calls for the prompt use 1 | of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. a FORFEIT I Will be paid by the World's Dispensary • ■ Medical Association, of Buffalo, N.
