SOUTH AMERICAN CANNIBALISM.

PANAMA, April 3d.-The dangers to
our navi CATION at the mouth of the Mag
dalena river have besn provided against
by the Atlas Steamship Company, which
has had channel surveyed and buoyed
out making entrance and exit easy and
safe. 1t remains to be seen whether the
channel is permanent one, and not ex-
posed to constant changes through
freshets or other causes, as upon that
fact will depend the value of the i'm
provements now effected.
The Panama Star Herald prints the
following: A curious story comes to us,
upon authority of the Prefect of the dis
trict of Caqueta, in the State of Cauca,
and on the borders of the Brazilian EN-
pire, of hostilities between savage In
dian tribes, which are marked by the
atrocities common to Central Africa OF
the islands of the South Sea. On the
desolste lands on the lower part of the
river Caqueta live two tribes OF Indians
the Huitotes and Guaques-between
whom appears to be an endless feud.
What the original cause of the sanguin-
ary wars between these two tribes may
have been is unknown, but the fact
remains that they seem to exist but to
destroy and annihilate each other in the
most terrible manner. Although the
tribes of the Guaques engage in COM
merce with any who may visit their terri
tory, they are, nevertheless. veritable
cannibals. So far as the Hutotes are
concerned, whom they hunt as they
would wild beasts, with the object OF
making prisoners, whom they sell as
slaves in Brazilian territory or reserve
for worse fate, serving up the still pal
pitating bodies OF their victims as an
article Of food in their horrible and dis.
gusting feasis. The frightful orgies
practiced at these barbaric rites are
described by gentleman nsmed Guz.
man, Colombian, who, for commercial
purposes, visited the country inhabited
by these tribes.
The buildings or temples in which the
victims are sacrificed are about thirty
metres square, with several doors on
either side, and which will accommodate
about forty individuals. The victim sci.
ected is led by the hand, by chief, sew.
eral times up and down before the as
sembled savages, amid shouts and laugh.
ter the most Internal. The trembling
captive is obliged to pass out and il
through the various doors, and at last ii
allowed to remain standing for few
moments in the center Of the building il
the midst of his savage destroyers. Then
without word OF warning, the savag,
chief attacks the helpless creature will
club, knocking him senseless or deat
with the first blow, and proceeds to dis

A BRUTAL ROBBER.

SEATTLE, W. T., May 1st-A report
reached here to-day of a remarkably
bold robbery perpetrated last night at
Lake Union, the northern suburb OF
Seattle. at the house of Mr.. Leonard.
A reporter of the Intelligencer, in COM
pany with Chief of Police Menick. visit
ed the house this afternoon and ELECTED
the following facts: Mrs. Leonard, who
has been an invalid for several years,
occupies room apart from her husband.
Mr.. Leonard was with her until 1890
O'Clock. when he retired, leaving her
resting comfortably. Just previous to
bis departure from the room, Mrs. Leon
ard called his attention to the fact that
she thought she heard some one walking
in the yard. Mr.. Leonard dissuaded her
from this notion. saying it was only
some one passing up the street. About
half an hour after Mr.. Leonard left the
room, Mrs. Leonard was aroused by the
sound OF footsteps. Looking up, she
saw masked man coming from the ad-
joining room. Before she had time to
cry fer help, he had seized her by the
throat, dragging her out of bed to the
floor. BE demanded to know of her
where their money was. "We have no
money" she gusped. "D-n you,
know better, and I'll kill you if you
don't tell" he replied. Meanwhile,
jumping on her chest with his knee and
strangling her almost to death. At this
juncture he siezed pair of scissors from
stand and commenced cutting her hair
off, saying that if this would not do he d
kill her outright. She struggled and
attempted to loosen his grasp on her
throat. when he dropped the scissors
and, taking a bottle from his pocket,
supposed to contain chloroform, poured
lot of it in her face. Meantime, Mr..
Leonard heard the noise and commenced
to call out to know what was the matter,
and starting to come down stairs. The
man jumped out of on open window,
through which he had entered, and de-
parted. On coming into the house be
went directly into the dining.room and
opened small drawer wherein they
kept money, but only got 65 cents. Mrs.
Leonard is not expected to live till morn
ing.

THE WHIsTLING OYsTER.-The shop
was first established by Mr.. Pearkes,
in 1925, "It appears" says a writer in
the Daily Telegraph, "that about the
year 1910, the proprietor of the house in
question, which had then as it has now,
great name for the superior excel
lencies of its delicate little natives
heard a strange and unusual sound pro-
ceeding from one of the tubs in which
the shell-fish lay piled in layers one over
the other plaoidly fattening on oatmeal,
and awaiting the inevitable advent of the
remorseless knife. Mr.. Pearkes, the
landlord, listened, hardly at first believ-
ing his eors. There was, however, no
doubt about the matter; one of the
oysters was distinctly whistling, or, at
any rate, producing sort Of 'sifaement
with his shell! 1t was not difficult to de-
tect this phenomenal bivalve and in q
few minutes he was triumphantly picked
out from among his fellows and put by
himself in separate tub, with plenti.
ful supply of brine and water. Tho
news spread through the town, and for
some days the fortunate Mr.. Pearkes
found his house besieged by curious
crowds. Douglas Jerrold's suggestion
was that the said oyster had been crossed
in love, and now whis!led to keep up ap-
pearances with an idea of showing that
it did not care" Thackeray used to
declare that he was once actually in the
shop when an American came in to see
the phenomenon, as everybody else was
doing, and after hearing the talented
molusk go through his usual perform.

A source of Much bodily EVIL.

If the habit of body becomes irregu-
lar, much evil is inflicted on the system.
The stomach becomes dyspeptic, bill
lious symptoms develop themselves,
the circulation is contaminated, and
the nerves share i'm the general disorder.
1t is Of the utmost importance that the
bowels should be thoroughly and speed
lily regulated when they grow derelict.
The corrective agent best adapted to
this purpose is HOstetter's Stomach
Bitters, wholesome, non-griping veg
etable laxative, worth all the rasping
cathartics invented since the time of
Paracelsus. People who have been i'm
the habit of using blue pill, calomel
and other drugs and cheap nOstrums for
constipation, should abandon such hurt
full and useless medicines, and substi-
tute for them this pleasant and gentle
aperient, which not only produces the
purgative effect naturally, but also
strengthens while it regulates the bow
els, stomach and liver. 1t moreover
cures and prevents intermittent and re-
mittent fevers, gout, rheumatism, de-
bility and urinary troubles. 31.4t.

As an elegant hair dressing stands Par
ker's Hair Balsam, deservedly popular
for the beautiful hair it produces, and
its cleansing and healing properties.
Commencing at the roots, it promotes a
luXuraint growth of young hair, and un-
failingly restores gray or faded hair to
the original youthful color, giving a soft,
rich and lustrous appearance of great
beauty. 1t is pleasantly cooling to the
scalp, cleanses it from Dandruff, cures
itching and humOrs, and stops falling of
the hair. 1t is perfectly harmless, ex-
quisitely perfumed, never soils the skin
or gums the hair, and pleases everybody
by its many excellent and attractive
qualities. A patron assures us he has
used II different hair preparations and
that Parker's Hair Balsam surpasses
them all. Sold i'm large bottles, at only
50 cts. and Sl.00, by u. Wayne Griffin

Last Saturday, while the great Trans
Atlantic Show was getting ready to give
their afternoon performance, little boy,

out his paw and caught him 10y the ear,
tearing of portion of the same, and
cut circle above the ear severing II
small artery. He won't attend any
shows soon.
In coming from Calhoon to this place
Fridaynight two of their wagons turned
over, bruising up one of their men con-
siderably.

and began dealing in some kind Of lot
terry. He was promptly arrested and
fined 500. He sold his horse and
