Curious Old CustOm-The Search for
GUY FaWkes.

London Correspondence of St. Louis Republican.
Among the many quaint old customs
still kept up, even in this nineteenth
Gentry, is the search for Guy Fawkes.
You probably know that in 1904, in the
reign of James l., there was dia bolcal
conspiracy, attributed 10 the Papists
whether rightly or wrongly l can't
say), to blow the King and his Parlia-
ment into mid-air. This beneficent
scheme for the rapid transit of his Ma
jesty and courtiers 10 another kin gdom,
originated among some influential aris-
tocrats, whose zeal for the Romish
Church overcame their estimate of the
value of human life. These high
blooded miscreants hired house in the
vicinity of the Parliament building, and
obtained access thereby to the vaults,
which they filled with barrels OF powder.
etc. Guy Fawkes, a gentleman of
foreign extraction, but without any
titles, strange to say, was then commits
stoned to fire the train, and was to have
received suitable and elegant CON-
pensation for his valuable services.
However, just before the deed was com
mitted, mysterious letter was handed
to one Of the principal functionaries,
VINO Immediately laid it before the
King. A search was made at once and
friend Fawkes was noticed tripping
about the basement in company with
dark lantern. He was politely re.
quested to move on" and do so. His
colleagues, on hearing that the plot was
discovered, became scared and fed.
Some of them were captured and in.
stantly put to death, and it is believed
that Fawkes himself was among the
number executed, though a report says
he made good his escape and left the
country. Be this as it may, he never
was heard of since, though the formal
inspection of the basement of the House
of Commons takes place every year.
Yet, it is one of the many observed and
mysterious duties which fall to the lot
OF that wonderful state dignitary, the
Lord Great Chamberlain. It's solemnly
enacted that few houas previous to
the assembling of Parliament this
worthy shall either himself or by deputy
make careful examination of the
premises below stairs, and with lantern
and sword drawn they shall satisfy
themlelves that no conspirators exist
there. The search party consists Of |
eight or nine beef caters, as they are
called, in quaint varie-colored frills and |
rosettes, with broad brimmed hat and
long halberts, very relic of old days,
and two or three marshalmen in tail.

Success Based upon Merit.

gists, that no medicine introduced 10
the American public has ever gained
such popularity and met with SO large
a sale in all parts of the land, in the
same length of time, as has DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This cannot
depend upon its having been more
largely advertised than any other medi.
cine, as such is not the case. The cor.
rect explanation, we think, is found in
the fact that this medicine produces the
most wonderful and perfect cures OF

Coughs, but also for all diseases of the
liver and blood, as scrofulous diseases,
skin diseases, blotches, rough skin,
pimples, black specks, and discolora-

application and usefulness, and it not
only gives the most perfect satisfaction
to all who use it, but far exceeds the
expectations of the most sanguine, thus
eliciting the loudest praise and making
permanent living advertising mediums

JUST TAKEN HIS BIrTERs.-We heard a
seedy-looking individual with an alarmin gly
red nose remark to brother soaker
that he had "just had his bitters, but he did
not mind taxing another nip" His remark
suggested train of reflection. How was it,,
we asked ourselves, that the word "bitters"
had grown to be a synonym for gin, whisky,
rum, and other alcoholic stimulants, to
which it was applied Unfortunately. Bit
tiers, we reasoned, suggested the idea of a
healthful tonic, not Of a poisonous stimu-
liant; something invigorating to the system,
not an alcoholic irritant, full of fusil oil,
producing present intoxication and ultimate
insanity, idiocy, or premature death. More
over, our idea Of btters was totally irrecon-
cilable with "gin cocktails" "rum punches"
and "brandy smashes," which, we are in
formed, are sweet tened with sugar, and rem
dered LOUDLY injurious with essences colored
by means Of mineral poison. This was
bitter-sweet with a vengeance. We men,
toned this problem to a friend. He solved
it by exclaiming: "Why, don't you know
that most Of these bitters advertised as
remedies are only drains in disguise? Topers
know it, if you do not. must make one
exception, howev, r." he added, and tn ats

had made of the location of the mines,
pushed on. They proceeded up the
Columbia and Snake rivers and then
into the mountain fastnesses, and every
man, woman and child they met told
them something about the party by the

they were the fifth or sixth party that
specious rascal had led into the wilder
ness to humbug and swindle. They
met many persons who had been victim

would kill him on the spot should they

Five Persons Murdered-Discover
OF the Bodies In . Wagon-Confes'
at the Ropes End.

at the Ropes End.
A telegram from Marysville, Mo-,
dated August 81, says: An strocious
murder was brought to light yesterday
by the arrest OF man named Osborne
at Clermont, q small town twelve miles
northwest of this city. 1t appears
that Osborne was travelling with 9
team and covered wagon, and stopped
for some purpose, when some men
we're attracted to the wegon by the
stencil proceeding from it Upon ex-
amining the wagon five dead bodies
were found. Osborne confessed at the
end of rope that the murders were com.
mitted by one Williams near Holton,
Kansas, and that he (Osborne) was
employed to take the bodies away. He
confessed that he had travelled with this
load five days.
From a memorandum found on the
body OF one the victims it is inferred
that they were q party Of movers, con-
sisting Of a Mr.. Oms, his wife, and two
children, and young man named
Dickinson, who n supposed to be a
brother of Mrs Oms. The party had
travelled from Minnesota to Southern
Kansas, a I'd were probably on their
way to Nebraska. The last memoran>
dunn made by the young man was at OF
near Holton. The coroner held an in :
quest yesterday. and the bodies were
buried at Clermont. Sheriff Way has
just returned here, and says that
though he saw the prisoner at Cler-
mont, the people would not give him
up. 1t is thought that Osborne will be
executed by the people who have him
in charge.

Within this barrel the iron to be pud-

the iron keeps rolling over and over to
the bottom, and so presents constantly
a new surface to the flame. This con-

necessity of stirring by the puddler. and
labor is thus saved and larger charges
can be worked than when the stirring
