He had warned Feicht not to bring the story up, as he could not swear to it In court. After the last portion of the testimony was read the witness answered: "This is not true; It is all a humbug."

A telegram from St. Joseph, dated June 2, received by Charles H. Latimer, the Allegheny confectioner and fruit dealer, states that his son Raymond had been killed on the railroad in that city on June 1. The message was from Mr. Latimer's brother at Mayfieid, bearing the news that Raymond was killed in St.

Joseph. The father telegraphed to police headquarters at t. Joseph, and learned that the boy was found dead on the track. In his pocket was the address of his uncle In Mayfieid, Ky. The police communicated with him.

Six weeks ago last Saturday, Raymond, who is only 13 years old, left with two other boys of about the same age for the west. Shortly afterward two of the boys returned. The father telegraphed to all points west, thousands of circulars were cent out, but no word came of the boy.

PITTSBURu'S FOREMOST FOOTFITTER. Opera SUM BECAUSE LTTLt 1, What is PREMATURE OLD AGE. Paresis, arrested development and early glving-out of the vital and physical forces are conditions which have greatly increased during the last few years. Among the many causes may be mentioned intem perance, excessive use of tobacco, late hours. Irregular habits, excesses, especially in eating and drinking, and over taxation of nerve energy from too close attention to business and professional duties.

The subject of this sketch. Mr. P. Ferguson, of 276 Sixth street, East Liverpool, had been incapacitated for work for some time, all treatment failing to restore his health. Mr.

Ferguson was up and around, but the least effort was followed with physical and mental prostration. The weakness would appear to come suddenly, accompanied with shortness of breath, faintnees and frequently dimness of Vision. Vertigo or dizziness would often follow these attacks. The head frequently felt heavy and dull. The memory became weak and the power of concentration of thought upon one subject was almost suspended.

He was very susceptible to sudden changes of the weather, and frequently felt chilly while those around him "vere comfortably warm. His ambition had left him, as well as his strength, and, as time passed, he became melancholy and preferred to be alone, avoiding, so far as possible, the society of his friends and acquaintances The following statement has been received from Mr. Ferguson with the request that it be published: "I had been ailing for a long time, and no physician had ever able to tell me what my disease was, or give me relief. As Dr. Shafer had treated Mrs.

Ferguson very successfully, 1 decided to send him a sample of urine for analysis. His report convinced me that he understood my case, and I engaged treatment. I improved rapidly, and to-day en-Joy the best of health. My case was treated entirely by the urine, as I have never seen vr. bnarer.

I certainly can recommend him to all. P. Ferguson." Kindly remember that Dr. Shafer is the only WATER DOCTOR In Pittsburg, giving special attention to KIDNEY, BLADDER, LIVER. NERVOUS.
