Natural Anti.Faf.

While surveying in the mountains
northeast of Anaheim last year, Maj.
William P. Reynolds encountered a
man who had worked for him in former
years. He failed to recognize him,
however, until the stranger explained
who he was. It was no wonder the
Major failed to recognize his old &C
quaintance, for he was now a man of
about 200 pounds weight, whereas he
weighed $40 pounds when in the
Majors employ. The secret Of his re-
duced avoirdupois was freely given. A
short distance up the mountain from
where his house stood was a spring, the
waters of which contained some mineral
anti-fat. Did the Major want to lose
some of the superfuous flesh which in
numbered him? He did. He drank the
water, and in ten days his weight had
been reduced twenty-five pounds. He
continued drinking the water, until from
90 pounds he was reduced to ITO
pounds, his present weight. This was
accomplished without any violent ac-
ton on the part of the water. Tt
seemed to go about it's business quietly
and eficaciously. Maj. Reynolds will
obtain water from the spring, and he
will forward it to the Smithsonian In
stitute at Washington for analysis. The
spring is about sixteen miles from Ana
helm, easily accessible, and if analysis
establishes the fact that there is nothing
to be unprecedented from using the
water there will be numerous obese
persons avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to try natures remedy. There
is still another spring in the mountains
possessing qualities as peculiar as the
one mentioned. 1t was discovered one
hot day by a couple of young mea from
Anaheim, who were on a prospecting
tour. The water from the spring had
flowed into kind of natural reservoir,
and it looked SO cool and inviting that
the young men DOTTED their clothes and
took bath. A few minutes after they
came out their skin and hair took a
reddish tinge, and they became like
unto the aboriginal red men. It grad
ually wore off, however, and in a few
days their color was natural dirty

A Murdered Girrs Monument.

To-Day magnificent marble monu-
ment was unveiled here over the grave
of Miss Frances Woodward, girl of 90
years, who was murdered by John J.
Moore, in this county, on June 5, of the
present year. The crime was COM
mitted in dense forest, about
two miles from Moore's store.
Miss Woodward was stranger
in the county, and stopped at Moore's
place to ask for directions. He followed
her into the woods and murdered
her. He was arrested next day and
lynched by a crowd of about 100 of his
neighbcrs, in the presence of his wife
and children. Soon after the perpetra-
ton of the crime a movement was
started among the ladies of the State to
raise fund to place monument over
the remains of the poor girl whose life
was given up while defending her vir-
tue. A large sum was promptly col
lected, and magnificent shaft of Italian
marble was erected over her grave to-
day, in the presence of $4,000 or $4,000
persons. Rev. A. G. Durham delivered
the memorial address, and his touching
and pathetic illusions to the deceased
brought tears to the eyes of thousands
in the vast assemblage. After the cere
monies of unwilling were concluded the
ladies present covered the monument
with rare flowers. The inscription on
the monument, cut on raised shield
facing the east, is as follows:
Iu memory of Frances Woodward,
Born June 90 1859.
Died defending her virtue June 5. 1879.

Poor Caesars Fall.

Caesar is the name of large dog that
belongs to Henry Armbruster, of Forest
City, in the county of Sierra, in the
State of Nevada. Caesar was fat dog
"a very fat fellow-until about one
month ago. At that time he disap-
peared. One week passed away and
Caesar was still missing. One week and
three days-ten days in Advent by.
Then, as Mr.. Armbruster stood near the
mouth of shaft, or deep hole made
by miners in their search for gold, he
heard a whine, low, piteous whine,
come up the shaft. Cesarl" called
Mr.. Armbruster, stopping down,
heigho! no, no, no, Caesar, old boyl"
Caesar answered with faint bark. He
was 125 feet under ground, in dark,
damp place, indeed. Mr.. Ambruster
ran home, got rope and fixing moose
at one end. dropped it down. Before
long he had fshed Caesar out. Caesar
had fallen into the shaft and remained
there ten days without SO much as
bone. He was as poor as Jobs turkey,
and many times poorer than church
mouse, but he is now gaining flesh
nicely.

LYNCH LAW.

Ine Shooting and Hanging of Bill Young by
Mob in Clark County, Mo.
dispatch from Keokuk, Iowa, dated Oct
81, says; Bill Young, who was tried at Caho-
ka, Mo-, for the murder of the Spencer family,
was lynched at his home near Lurav. Mo-, yes
terday. The raid was very Systematically
planned and carried into execution with des-
perate determination. The mob, to the num-
Der of 200 or more, met near Caho-
ka and arranged the details. On
Sunday, the day following his acouittsl, Young
was married at Cahoka to Miss Bray, of Ohio
who has been in this locality most of the time
since his arrest They came to Keokuk Mon
day, and remained here until this moruing,
when they left for Young's home, near Luray
Young was warned along the line that g mob
was assembling to hang hira, bnt he refused to
turn back. He said he had beat them once, and
could do it again, and that he did not propose
to run away or be frightened away
The plan was to take Young from the train
at Cahoka, but owing to delay in telegram
the train got past that city before the mob as
sembled. They hastily followed to Luray,
however, surrounded Young's house, and de-
manded that all but Young leave the building.
j. G. Coffman, of Toledo, Ohio, one of Young's
attorneys, and two ladies who were there came
children remain. Firing was then opened, but
it not known who fired the frstshots. Young
would open the door, fire into the crowd, and
dodge back. This was kept up until Young
had received four wounds-one in the wrist,
one in the lung, one in the scalp, and one in the
abdomen, which disabled him so that he
ceased firing. The mob then piled hay around
the house preparatory to burning it,
when Young's children came running
out and said that their father was dead.
A number of men then entered the house,
brought Young out, placed him in wagon and
drove under an arched gateway They then
called upon him to make confession. but
he is said to have asserted his innocence to
the last They proposed to him that if he
would pay the costs OF the prosecution, con-
TESS the murder and leave the country they
would not hang him. He offered to pay the
costs and leave, but refused to confess His
last words were that he was an innocent
man. They allowed him to make his
will, then drove the wagon out, and left him
hanging until he was dead The mob is vari-
ously estimated at from 200 to 500 men, They
wore no masks, and made no attempts to dis
guise themselves. Many of them are we'll
known citizens of Clark county Others are
said to have been from Illinois and Iowa. De-
tective Lane was in the mob, and took an active

THE PASTORS RESIGNATION.
BY I. EDGAR JONES. !.


The aged pastor bowed his head within the affairs
railing;
His hands were trenulOuS With age, his sight and
nearing falling; E#
Fond faith and trust were striving hard to fight
away his airs.
But yet his heart was sore and sad and sought re-
lief in tears.
For forty years his tongue proclaimed to all sal
vation's story.
For forty tc all who came he offered hope OF
glory,
For forty years the bell that echoed now from out
the steeple N MI H
Proclaimed that here his warning voice had tidings
to- his people
But now the leaders Of the church-an influential
clan IT,. .t.t.
Had called on him to yield his place to hold a
younger man. ft
His energies had long been spent, twas meet he
should retire .s
That they might call man Of mark endowed with
youthful fire. nv
With quavering voice he gave response to friends
who offered greeting
and listened in an absent way to members in the
meeting
Discoursng in familiar tones of changes they were
making
And asking him to make remarks. although his
heart was breaking.
But yet he spoke-as oft before his voice aglow
with feeling,
While down his faded, furrowed face slow tears
were softly stealing
A holy hush pervading all as though an angel
spell
Had rested Them as he to bid his flock fare
well. t. 2 e.e4-s.s. Ia. t
He spoke of memories sad and sweet of dim and
distant days, .....t
OF forty years of constant toll of pain and prayer
OF Observation-Disclosures by his hand-who stood
before him still,
While some reposed beneath the flowers upon the
distant hill.
And here his voice sank sad and low-for there his
child and wife
Were laid VIII death had left him lone to live his
laborDg life
Far more were they he once had known, who
meath the willows slept ...
Than they who sat befor him now, and DER their
memories wept
FOR all he prayed as fathers plead for children
whom they love.
That all might again be joined in Go IS abode
above;
And then, in voice replete with tones of love and
fonu Caressing,
He raised his trembling hands aloft and gave to all
his blessing.
The saddened people silent sat as he resumed his
chair,
While rays of sunshine softly fell and PLAYED upon
his hair,
And rested there with light caress, as though a
golden chain
by which an angel message sought and soothed
him in his pain
The organ broke the silence then with sweetly sol
emn roll,
That walled IN waves of silver song across the sad
dened SOUL
With "Rockof Ages" old, yetnew-majestic, grand,
and strong ,. w.
Well may the angel choir. above it's qu1vering
notes prolong.
The people rose to be dismissed their pastor lin
gered still,
And smiling looked upon the graves that crowned
the distant hill;
But when they sought with gentle touch to wake
the musing mind,
They found that death had called him hence: their
pastor had resigned.
