Patrick O'Donnel, the murderer Of
Carey, the informer, was last Saturday
at Dublin convicted Of murder In the
first degree, and sentenced TO death.
As he was being removed from the court
room he shouted Three cheers for
old Ireland. Goodbye United States.
To HI with the British and the British
crown" II will be remembered that
Carey was one Of the crowd that plan
ned and executed the assassination OF
Lord Cavendish and Secretary Burke,
and when he feared he would be found
out, he did what cowar 8 frequently do
turned informer. This was mean and
contemplate; but not more so than the
crime O'Donnell is guilty q, the MUIR
der Of Carey. In committing this crime
he clearly showed that he WAS in favor
Of assassination, and would be guilty
Of it with opportunity. The Irish cause
was not benefited by the assassination
Of Cayendish and Burke, and will be Sc
riously injured If any great amount OF
sympathy is shown for O'Donnell.

ATTENTION. STOCKMEN!
DUNN'S LOCO ANTlDOTE.
A SURE CURE---PROMPT AND RELIABLE

We are glad to announce to the public and
to stockmen in particular that after long
series OF experiments, we have discovered an
antidote for the poison Of the Loco weed, and
now offer the preparation to the public with
the confident assurance that where directions
are followed, a cure is certain in from 10 to 20
days. The large number of valuable animals
that die or are rendered absolutely useless by
eating the Loco weed, certainly justifes the
assertion that this discovery is second to none
in its Importance to stockmen in the sections
of country where this plant is indigenous.
Each bottle is accompanied by package
Of powders and full directions for administer
ing.
Price per single bottle, $500; two bottles
