Effective aa an Indian Exterminator, bnt Too Merciless to Try. "A good many years ago the Co manche Indians used to harry and an noy the people of Texas by predatory incursions, pretty much, I fancy, as the Scottish highlanders did their brethren who dwelt in loss mountainous regions, " aid Colonel Alf Mason of the Lone Star State. "The Comanclies, too, had exactly the same purpose in view that animated the adherents of Bob Roy tbe lifting of cattle and it would be hard to say which made the greatest success of the business, the sturdy free booters of Sootia or the copper hued denizens of the American ' plains. The Toxana of course resented to the ut most this conduct of the redskins, and many a brave paid the death penalty for trying to get away with horses or cows that did not belong to him. "Many a poor settler, too, in trying to save his little homestead, foil a victim to the barbarous foe. Some nimsnnlly cruel raids, in which a number of white women and little children were butch ered, about the year I860, in William son oounty, not fur from the state capi tal, caused the resentment of the poople to rise to a boiling pitch, and vengeance was sworn against the whole tribe of marauding red demons. The affair was so ruthless in its atrocity that it came very near being the cause of a whole sale slaughter of the Indium, which could have scarcely been justified.

" THE BUSINESS MAN'S LUNCH. Hard Work and Indigestion to Hand In Hand. Concentrated thought, continued In, robs the stomach of necessary blood, and this is also true of hard physical labor. When a five horse-power engine is made to do ten horse-power work something is going to break. Very often the hard worked man coming from the field or the office will "bolt" his food in a few min utcs which will take hours to digest. Then too, many foods are about aa useful in the stomach as a keg of nails would be in a fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach refuses to do its work without the proper stimulus which it gets from the blood and nerves. The nerves are weak and " ready to break," because they do not get the nourishment they require from the blood, finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide awake when the overworked man at ' tempts to find rest in bed. The application of common sense in the treatment of the stomach and the whole system brings to the busy man the full en joyment of life and healthy digestion when be takes Dr. tierce's Pleasant Pellets to relieve a bilious stomach or after a too hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and vitalize the blood. The " Pellets " are tihy sugar-coated pills made of highly concen trated vegetable ingredients which relieve the stomach of all offending matters easily and thoroughly. They need onlv be taken for a short time to cure the biliousness, constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of tbe liver; then the "Medical Discovery" should be taken in teaspoon ful doses to In crease the blood and enrich it. It has a peculiar effect upon the lining membranes of the stomach and bowels, toning up and strengthening them for all time. The whole system feels the effect of the pure blood coursing through the body and the nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not deadened, or pnt to sleep, as the so-called celery compounds and nerve mixtures do bat refreshed and fed on the food they need for health. If you suffer from indi gestion, dysnernia, nervousness, and any of the ills which come from impure blood and disordered stomach, yon can rare younelf with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which can be obtained at any drag store in in country. combined. 1M WALL 8T- NEW-YORK. A STUPID ATTEMPT To Sell Bad Whisky Under a Popular Brand. Brands and Labels of the Famous Jesse Moore Whisky Imitated by a Seattle Importer, Who Is Now Under Arrest. The recent arrest in 8eattle, Wash., of Aaron Jaffa by a United Slates Internal revenue ofllcer far wholesaling liquor with out a license bas diaolosed one or ine most daring and dangerous frauds that has been perpetrated against the government, and against one of tbe most reputable and pop ular whisky firms in the United States. Numerous complaints have reached Moore, Hunt & Co. of San Francisco, sole agents on the Pacifio Coast of tbe famous old Jesse Moore whisky, that a counterfeit ar ticle was being largely sold in Washington. The labels, bottles and wrappers were each so exact an imitation of the genuine as to readily deceive the owners or tne original brand. The contents were, however, as might be expected, not even an imitation, hnt of an vile a character as to be readily detected by any one who is familiar wita the high quality of the Jesse Moore whisky. Jane coniined bis operations to tbe sale of oase goods; therefore detection was easy, vm also mirceaa In disposing of his goods, which bore the popular AA brand. ustensioiy jane wbb auiiug i oftou. the "Golden Medal Distilling Company of nhlnairn." nnssihlv a mythical concern. At any rate, all bills were made out and re ceipted in the name of that company However, in a type-written iciacr iieaicu by Jafle and mailed without signature to linnnr Healara in Washington, he onenlv claimed that tbe whisky was spurieus, but that the labels and bottles were so success fully initiated as to deceive even Jesse Moore & Co. or their agents, and in this single claim he was correct. It dps been saia mat - pour minga are never imitated," which is a truism that even Jesse Moore & Co. and Moore, Hunt & Co. may accept with some small degree ol satisfaction, ana ine iooi mat me jesse Moore whiskies have become immensely popular and are steadily superseding all other brands of whisky on ihls Coast as well as throughout the Eastern States, was doubtless the strongest incentive to Jalle to embark in an Illicit and irauauient uianu fact ure. Hsllini Honor at wholesale wlt.hnnr. a II cense is a serious offense against ine United States Internal revenue laws, and Jalle will doubtless, as he should, upon conviction leceive a severe penalty lor his wrongdoing. Infringement of a convright is also a sen- nun offense, with severe penalties. Alto gether, it would seem that this imitator of an excellent article nas invoivea ninisen to an extent which will necessitate his pro longed retirement from the whisky busl nesN. When arrested and confronted with the evidence of his crime, Jail broke down and made a full confession of his own guilt, without, however, implicating his iartnei ill the fiaud whose identity is yet ill doubt The facts will douiitless come out on the triBl Aa tne evldence aKainst jaiie is cu nuilative and abundant, there is no doubt of his conviction. This is the most daring attempt yet made to imitate the Jesse Moure whisky, but the maiiulacturera may nnd some entislactlon in the fact that the culprit is suppressed Moore, Hunt & Co. will vigorously push the prosecution of Jalle for fraud in coun terfeiting their trade-mark and labels. Carnot and Jean Carries. The death of Joan Carries, the sculp tor, recalls nu anecdote in which he and the Into President Curnot wore the prin cipal actors. The artist's busts and figures at the Chump do Murs excitod the admiration of ull, nnd thoy woro de servedly classed in the first rank. M. Carnot, when on his visit to the salon, noticed an old man, who seemed much moved on Bccing him, standing buforo the works of art of the sculptor. Homo ono said to the president, after pointing out the artist: "Here is uoedfor repara tion, M. le President Curries is one of our most skillful men of art, and ho is not yet decorated. " Forthwith M. Carnot detached from tho buttonhole of one of tho officers of the military house hold in the place of a cross of tho cliov all or a cross of on oflicor of the Legion of Honor nnd placed it himself on the breast of Jean Carries. Tho next duy, in The OlHciul, tho artist was named a chovalior of tho order. Loudon Figaro. Stanford's Retort. Once Senator Stanford was traveling through California in his private car.

Dark was the house nnd cheerless. And fast fell the ram from without My heart was chilled by the morning, And besieged by many a doubt. And I said! "There Is nu iaiJ III trying, l'he old year is dying; dying. Many hearta that were glad Are weary and sad. And ths world la tilled with tbe sighing." The good man came In whistling. Though the rain fell fast without! Be cheered my heart with his Joy song. And scattered my every doubt. And be saldi "We'll Just keep on trying. A new year will spring from the dying. Many hearta shall be glad That now are so sad, And sougs shall grow out of the sighing." K. li. Chase In Hume make. THE TWO DOCTORS. They do not do so now, but In bygone times some of the medical students ana voung practicing physicians of Detroit were in the habit of stealing bodies for dissection from the cemeteries adjoining the city. Ia thoso times there were two young doctors, just out of their teens, who wore partners in a practice which left them with a great deal of time on their bonds. Both of them were strong of head and of physical makeup, and either of them could drink any other mnn in Detroit drunk on cherry whisky and till retain his sea legs and his cool head. And there were not a fow sturdy drinkers in Detroit then. Nevertheless, while the young physi cians appeared to be sailing straight for the rock of Grog, thoy put in a great deal of time, much of it stolen from the night, advancing thcmsolves in a profes sion to which they were courageously devoted. One of them, it may be men tioned incidentally, advanced in the aft er days to a very high position in the medical department of the United States army, and the other became one of the foremost physicians of the' city. One night the two determined upon making a sally upon a certain cemetery, to steal the corpse of a man who bad died of a peculiar disease, which was the talk of the little town at the time, and which threw medical circles into sharp and in some instances furious discus sion. When they sauntered from their favorite boozing place, they were pretty well filled with cherry whisky, and the hour was past 11 o'clock. Their cronies came away with thorn, as that was the customary hour for retiring unless it happened to be o holiday occasion, when "We Won't Go Home Till Morning" was sung, a song, by the way, which imports a flavor of the wine of the immortals to good average whisky which in its turn cheerfully and heartily reciprocates the compliment, by causing the song to thrill the soul like the war hymn of trium phant archangels. , Earlier in tne evening they baa maae arrangements for a horse and a light wagon, spades, pickax, crowbars and ropes. Iney knew tne location or tne grave, and they started out. The night favored them with opaque clouds which hid a three-fourths foded summer moon. Arrived at the desired place, outside the cemetery fence, they led the horse Into a strip of woods, crossed the road and entered the cemetory. Before pro ceeding to business they took a hearty pull at the cherry bottle. With the aid of their dark lanterns they found the mark which had been made upon the grave in the daytime. They then pro ceeded to adjust their dork colored sheet ing. The grave was pretty close to the road, but they didn't mind that The sheeting, hung on sticks pressed into the ground, screened the grave from all points of view, and tne dark lantern was hung in such a position that it shone in narrow circle downward upon the grave. Both seized their spades then and went to work with a will at either end of the grave, space being token at one end to afford room for both to work. In this way the muscular young fellows soon reached the over box. The top of this was taken off and laid aside. In a little while the cover of the coffin was un screwed, and in the haste of the moment It was thrown out of the grave. It struck the width of sheeting next the road and threw it down. The corpse was a very heavy one, and it took the united efforts of both the doc tors to raise it in the narrow space of the grave. They managed to stand it up at the end of the grave und then concluded that the best thing to do was to have one of them lift from below and the other from the top. To this end one of them proceeded to climb out of the grave, but just at that moment their blood was frozen in their veins by a piercing shriek. On the night choson by the young doc tors for their raid on the cemetory R. William Green, a suburban beau, whose characteristics wore of the hue of his name, and whose courage was utterly disproportioned to his tall, gaunt frame, wos returning homeward in company with Mary 8- , as beautiful a country girl as ever tripped over the daisies and as bright and intelligent as she was beau tiful. Peoplo often wondered then how a beauty of such manifest superiority of character could see anything attractive in a fellow like Bill Green, but from this toign of time tho riddle is easily read beans were very scarce in the township of II in those days, and hence a girl had no choice. It was said that they were afflunced, but this was not true. Something in Mary's conduct bad held William buck from declaring himself, although she readily allowed his atten tion and refused she proffers of escort of a certain newcomer in the held. That night the couple bad been to a party, and the shortest and indeed the only way to their respective homes was by the cemetery roud, unless it might be across the rough fluids, an impracticable way in the dark. As the twain approached the dark hol low of the road, which the bounds of the cemetery touched, Mary naturally drew closer to her tall escort, and the touch of femininity awakened in William the de termination to take advantage of her timidity and pop the question. But Wil liam was a bit of a coward, as already in timated, and the chill bonr of midnight together with tbe contiguity of tue grave yard, was not to his liking. His heart went pit-a-pat, not for the adored object at his side, but because of certain noises which the wind made among the bushes in the cemetery, and he also fancied there were footsteps behind him. His repressed fears controlled his tongue, upon which a proposal of mnrriage hung suspended, although Mary pressed closer to his side as they walked rapidly along. As for the thoughts that were passing through the shapely head of Mary at the time, the lady bos since said that she knew from William's actions that he wanted to propose, and she frankly ad mits that he would have been accepted on the spot, since she entertained the idea that she would have been aban doned in the horrible place if she had re fused. On such little things do the piv ots of a life sometime swing. W uliam was long in drawing his cour age to the sticking point At length he drew in a long breath, and tremulously ottering the name that Byron and Bums loved so fondly "Mary" was about to declare himself and nsk for her hand, bnt . at that critical moment the disturbed eyes of both were drawn to the cemetery by the light of the dork lantern. They I suddenly stopped in a palsy of fear. And i such a horrible sight as they sawl Tho face of a corpse protruding from tne grave, every frightful feature ex posed Id the light of the dork lantern I Mary shrieked and foil in a dead faint Wllllutn's knees smote toguther, and his nair arose in abject fright Another in stant and bis legs, which were growing too weak to support him, would have given way and brought him to the ground, but Mary'g shriek, In the total eclipse of his senses sounding like the veip or a pursuing tiend, galvanized him Into the strength of terror, and he flow down tbe road like the shadow of a scud' ding cloud. Scrambling over the fence, for a cross cut to his home, his coattuils were gripped from behind by the stout sliver of a rail, and thinking that the fiend had him ho fainted dead away nnd bung there for an hour. Recovering his senses Inter, he staggered to the house and to bed, whore he remained a vory sick man for two weeks. The shriek paralyzed the young doc tors for but a moment. They scrambled hastily out of the grave. One of them seized the dark lantern and closed the slido, and then both of them stood silent, drawing quick breaths. Not a sound was heard. It was a place remoto from houses, and they were satisfied thut oven such a piercing shriek would convey no alarm. "It must have come from the road. whispered one to the other. , "Let us search," was tho brief reply. The body of the girl was found, and the young physicians, regardless of their own safety and at no little risk of their Uvea in case of discovery, set at work to bring the girl out of her deathlike swoon. It was no easy task to allay her fears. Thoy did everything thut men could do to reassure the frightened girl, and grad ually she becamo self possessed and begged to be taken borne. She was too weak to walk. The team was brought around, ana sue was carefully and ten derly assisted to a seat. Dr. X was be side her, and reaching down the dark lan tern to his companion, who stood in tbe road, he said, "Leave it." The other understood, and without hes itation proceeded to reinter the corpse and hide tho tools in the adjoining woods. He said afterward that he made better job at fashioning the mound than the sexton had. At any rate, it was never known that the grave had been disturbed. During the drive to Mary's home, as Dr. a subsequently informed his com panion, he told some of the most in genious lies on record. It was quite by accident that they discovered her in the road as they were driving home after a consultation case, he had gravely in formed her, and he gave her the particu lars of the case, shrewdly avoiding any inquiry as to what caused her to be stretched in the middle of the rood in a dead faint alone. He promised to visit her next day, and he kept his promise. And feeling inter ested in the case he kept on coming when she was quite well, until finally one day, on quitting the house, Mary went with him in a corriago after whose rolling whebls a gay wedding party pitched old slippers, amid the laughter of the young and the benedictions of tbe old. Detroit News. Sojourning at the Capital. Washington during the days of the in- uguration was the Mecca of street arabs from all over the country, more espe jially of course of those who reside in the east. Many of them still remain in this city for financial and other reasons and in some oases because they like Wash ington and cannot bring themselves to leave it. I accosted one of them the other lay. His clothes were in a very dilapi dated state and looked as though a gen tle breeze would give them wings. A battered old derby wus carelessly pulled Dver his eyes. His face was evidently guiltless of the charge of ever having been washed. "How'd I git heah?' he repeated after me. "Well, yer see, boss, I am, with two of my chummies, all de way from Chicago. Gee whiz, but waren't it coldl We cum in a box car and had a dicky time. Yer see we didn't wanter starve, so we up un got a lot o' grub, an we wasn't out on de road a hundred miles befo' dose chummies of mine got up an began to scrap. My pig, but weren't it great!

Twice within a month tho gang cleaned out the railroad station and oxpross office at Port Gibson, robbed an express train nt Mar shall and hold up two carloads of passen gers near MoKcnzlca. Tliey held up and took $5,300 from the flvo Churokeo dis bursing officers, who had a bodyguard of IS soldiers. The highwaymen waited till tho guard galloped a mllo In advance to explore a gully.

At tho siiino tlmo they lined 14 persons who happened to bo In the station and relieved them of their valuables. In Okmulgee they robbed the station, tho postolllco, James i'orklnson store and half a dozen citizens.

Threoor fourweoks nso Govornor Alt- geld extended executive clemency to Klt- tio Adums, ono of tho most notorious thieves In Chicago, and tho doors ot the prison Hew open. Tho ground on which tho govornor grunted the pardon is said to have boon the statement that the woman was dying of consumption.

Tho police say that of the gang of female thieves operating In the city she is by all odds tho cleverest and most dan gerous. She has boon arrested numberless times. In the great majority of cases her victims have refused to prosecute by reason the scandal which would result from telling their stories In court, but In many instances some mysterious lnfluenoe has been brought into play, and tbe thiof has gone unpunished fur her crimes.

KITTIE ADAMS. But throe of these women have ever been sent to suffer imprisonment for more than few weoks at a time, Nora Keating Is the only one of the lot now behind the bars. All tho rest of these thieves, known personally as such to every police officer In Chicago, walk tho streets nightly, and not a day passes but a number of losses are reported to the police which can be traced dlroctly to those women. The faces of many of them aro far more familiar to pedes trians In La Salle, Dearborn, Adams, Washington, Monroe streets and W abash avenue thnn are tho uniforms of polloo officers after nightfall. Tbe amount of money and valuables stolen by the gang reaches on enormous sum annually, yet year after year goes by without an attempt at exterminating the gang.

A lad employed as a pony driver at the Trowel Moor colliery at btapleford has been sentenced to six weeks' hard labor for willfully damaging an endless wire rope used for the purpose of bringing tubs of coal up an incline. The strands of the rope were found to be deliberately' cut in two places, and it was stated that if the rope had parted the consequence would probably have been a disastrous loss of life. As it was the entire work of the colliery bad to be suspended for three-quarters of a day, and it appeared that to bring about this temporary ces sation of work was the sole motive of this abominable act.
