ly Battle Over One Hundred
Shots Fired.
. Walla Walla, Wash., Feb. 27
Meager particulars of a desperate battle
between officers and a desperado named
William Nackle, on Pine creek, near
Milton, Or., Sunday, were received here
by telephone today.
Nackle waa released from the peniten
tiary here about three months ago.

ordered him to leave town. He obtain
ed employment from a German named
Gebhardt, on Pine creek, near Milton.

ing it to Nackle, the latter excused
himself to go into the bouse for his hat
and coming out with a Winchester rifle,
he drove the officer off the ranch.
Dykes returned to Milton, and in
company with the city marshal, re
turned to the abode of the desperado.
Several shots were fired, but failed to
dislodge Nackle, and the officers again
returned empty banded.
A posse of twelve men was organized
in Milton, and at 1 o'clock Sunday morn
ing repaired to the Gebhart ranch, to
take Nackle dead or alive. Thehonse was
surrounded and the posse waited for the
appearance of its man. About daylight
Nackle made his attempt to escape, and
a running fight occurred for three milea,
during which from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty ehots were fired, but
no one was badly hurt. Nackle was
finally cornered, and surrendered. He
was taken to Milton, where bis prelim
inary examination will be held to
morrow morning.
Nackle was sentenced from Colfax in
June, 1893, to serve eight years for gran 3
larceny. He waa a very refactory prisoner.

flamed you have a rumbling sound or

unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germa of cer
tain decay and death.
In the human 'body these germs of
death (called by scientists Ptomaines),
are usually the result of imperfect diges
tion of food ; the result of indigestion or
dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakens,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments (the first process of
decay) poisoning the blood, making it
thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles ;
poisoning the brain causing headaches,
pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion weakens' the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing bright'a disease and diabetes.
And this ie eo because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
aione for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion ehows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive adds (lactic
and hydrochloric; and peptogenic pro
ducts ; the most sensible remedy in all
cases of indigestion, is to take after each
meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they supply in a pleas
ant, harmless form all the elements that
weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form ot trouble
except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com
plexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets at 50 cents full sized
package or by mail by enclosing price to

your druggist first. A little book on

Manila, Feb. 28, 10:10 a. m. The
rebels at Malabon fired upon the cruiser
Calao from the jungle yesterday while
Admiral Dewey waa visiting tbe Monad
nock. Three Bhella were dropped by
the monitor into the Malabon church,
demolishing the structure and killing a
number of rebels who were inside.
A factory at Malolos is reported to be
running day and night to supply am
munition .'for the insurgents. The
ignorance of the natives ia shown , by
the fact that they have collected empty
Springfield shells and are refilling them.
Over two thousand of these cartridges
have been discovered in bouses in
Pandayean by an officer of the Washing
ton volunteers. The cruiser Charleston
and the gunboat Concord have gone on
a ten days' crnise, presumably looking
for filibusters. It is believed that arms
are being landed in small quantities at
northern ports.
Everything was absolutely quiet last
night, both inside and outside tbe city.
Tbe ' commissioners appointed by
President McKinley to study the con
ditions in the island are expected to ar
