Japanese Toothache Drops: To
quiet the pains in an aching tooth moth
ing can excel Japanese drops, which
one can sometimes obtain ready put up,
or can order mixed by the druggist.
The formula is: Put together equal
parts of creosote, chloroform, carbolic
acid, oil of peppermint, oil of cloves
and oil of camphor. The result is a
liquid that will give almost instant re-
lief. if applied on bit of cotton to the
cavity of an aching tooth, and yet is no
more frey in the mouth than the oil of
cloves would be. The drops smell
most strongly of creosote, while pep

MILWAUKEE, November 2S.-There have
been nine incendiary fires in the Fourth
Ward within aimonth a past, and no trace
can be got of the men setting them.
Chief of the Fire Department Foley thinks
it the work of II en- discharged from the
force, as hose has been cut at
nearly every fire. The police sus-
pect the boys of the Fourth Ward,
who have Buffalo Bill organization, and
are carrying arms and intimidating people
after dark. Two lads of fourteen years
are now under arrest for shooting Car
driver Grothe, in an attempt to rob him
OF his money-box, and it is thought novel
reading striplings of the same stripe are
setting the fires. The police force of
the ward afflicted has been doubled, and
tower-watch has been instituted by the
fire chief. Chief of Police Mason to-day
received letter threatening him with as
sassination, and adding that the town will
be burned ii work is not furnished
large number of workingmen now
idle. Mayor Stowell has been sought
of late by innumerable applicants,
but puts no faith in the threatening letter
to Mason, believing it but the mouthings
of some idiot. The local underwriters
have held several meetings, and tonight
offer reward of $500 for the capture and
conviction of the incendiaries, and Mayor
Stowell offers $3.50 on behalf of the city.
The residents OF the Fourth Ward are in a
state of terrorism

gotten up TO give medicine to his sick wife
and was sitting in a chair near the fire. in
his night clothes. A woman who was
helping to wait on his wife was sitting
very close to Taylor, and colored man
was sitting to the left in front OF TAYLOR.
The assassin came to the window in his
sock-feet, coming and going by walking on
his toes to avoid tracks. 1t was a dark,
rainy night. All parties left the room ex-
cept the sick wife, who could not raise
herself in bed, where she remained until
daylight without attention, with broken
glass all over her bed. Taylor, being
killed instantly, still sat in his chair at
daylight, with his brains blown out.
Friday at ] o'clock the jury of inquest
brought in verdict he came to his death
by being shot with a gun by unknown
parties. Sheriff Haskins at once COM
menced to work up the case. The first
arrest was made at 10 o'clock Friday
night. Haskins brought in Henry Rose, a
bright mulatto negro about six feet high,
$50 pounds, twenty-eight years old. Has
kins suspicioned Rose on account of his
actions in the room where the corpse was.
Haskins asked him to raise the cloth off of
the corpse's face. The first word Rose
said was, "Why don't you take the half
dollars off the eyes?' This led to other
things, which caused his arrest. The
The next arrest was George Rozzell, col
ored, a partner of Rose, who threw light
upon the whole affair. The third arrest
was John Morrow, a white man, well-to-
do farmer, who joined farms with Taylor
This arrest opened up everything clear to
the world. Rose has made an open con-
fession in Jail. Mr.. Haskins is very
efficient officer, and the manner Ill which
he captured the murderer is commendable.

Eagle Rock road, on her way to Orange, but
it seems from the statement of people
in Orange that she had made arrange

was thought OF her absence. As the
morning passed her mother became very
anxious, as she had always watched
Phoebe on account of her great beauty,
which was OF the brilliant blonde
type. Inquiries were of no use, but

of the missing girl. The stoty told by the
German is that while walking with his

came across What % first they supposed to
be bundle OF clothes. The son, with the
curiosity of boy, Investigated the LuS-

very large crop OF wheat, and the land
given to wheat this year is the best ye;
ever given to wheat in this section. Glover
was tnrned under in August and the
ground thoroughly prepared for wheat Oh

The pork crop will be far better than
for any time within The past ten or twelve
years
4 great many farmers have old corn
and hay LETT over from last year, which
will supplement shoIt crop wonderfully.
The taxpayers are paying taxes very
