Assisting Nature a Little Bit.

When the resources Of Nature have
become retarded, no matter from what
cause, it is then quite time to help the
Liver and Spleen, and other organs, to
perform their thorough duty-or we
Shall soon be quite i'll. In such cases
there is no more natural remedy than a
mild cathartic, one which will be sure
to perform its duty without injuring
tie system in the least. Such. let us
say in all candor. is Simmons Hepatlc
Compound. 1t will gently move the
bowels, without irritating them in the
least; when the medicine works, the
bowels are soothed and healed like
charm-yet the medicine is more etfec-
tive than Calomel; one of the principal
ingredients possess all the good qualities
of that poisonous drug, without any OF
it's constituents. A dose of Simmons
Hepatic Compound every night on
going to bed, will infalEbly restore
health. Testimony of the highest con-
sideration from every portion OF the
country, and from all classes OF people,
abunfantly substantiate this fact. The
Importance of this treatment cannot be
over-estimated, and it should be tried
by all means.

Piles are frequently proceeded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some atfec-
tion of the kidneys or neighboring Or
gans. At times, symptoms of indiges-
ton are present, tlatulency, uneasiness
of the stomach, etc. A moisture like
perspiration, producing very dis
agreeable itching, after getting warm,
is common attendant. Blind, Bleed
ing and Itching Piles yield at once to
the application OF DR.: Bosankos Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the
parts affected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and effect
ing a permanent cure. Price 90 cents.

And His mercy, too, will yet endure

A HUSBANDS BRUTALITY.
He Ties His Wife to the Bed and Brands
Her With Hot Iron.

TEXARKANA, TEXAS, Dec. 16.-James
Howard, aged 35, was taken from Jail
here last night by masked mob, by
whom he was hanged to railroad
trestle. Howard was arrested Wednes-
day on a warrant sworn out by his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Winchew, charg-
ing him with maltreating his wife, who
is Scarcely 10 yef =. old. Howard and
his wife were married last July. Mrs.
Howard tells a story of atrocious bru-
tality OH the part of her husband. She
says he frequently tied her feet to-,
gether, while she was in state OF
nudity, and hanging her up by her feet,
beat her numerically and threatened
to kill her if she told anyone of his
crimes. On the 1st of November How
ard took Il common branding iron used
to brand stock, and heating it red hot
branded a large letter III" on his wife's
person in two places while she was tied
to the bed. After suffering several
weeks from the effects of these burns,
Mrs. Howard told her mother what had
happened, with the result that How
ard was arrested. Deputy sheriff Har-
gett had anticipated that mob would
attack the Jail last night and had
employed extra guards, but the mob
gained entrance while the guards We're
eating midnight meal. The lynching
causes great excitement.

THE BURNED STEAMER.
Forty-five Persons Still Missing-The Cap

Forty-five Persons Still MissinG-The Cap
tain's Statement.
CHICAGO, December 16.-A special
from New Orleans says Fully forty
five of the passengers and crew Of the
ill-fated steamer, John w. White, which
was burned last week on the MisSissip-
pi River, are still missing. Of these,
thirty are negro laDorerS who took pas
sage on the boat at the landing just
aboye the point where the accident oc-
Cured. It is believed that at least
twenty perished. Capt. Musey, the
commander of the steamer, was in his
room at the time the steamer was dis
covered to be on fire. He was awaken
ed by the alarm and ran from his room
to the upper deck to find that retreat
to the deck below was already cut off
by the flames. He Heswung out from the
upper deck on chain, and in this way
reached the bank. Afterward he tried
to return and assist those still on board,
but discovered that he would lose his
own life if he persisted. He then or
ganiZed a relief force from the bank, and
directed the movements OF the sailor
Pierson in the yawl, in the rescue of
those struggling in the water. Persons
conduct during the confusion was
most heroic. Pushing his way through
the crowd of shrieking passengers at
the steamers stern he cut the yawl
loose from its fastenings, and after a
desperate struggle lowered it into the
water. Four negroes jumped into the
boat and cut the painter, but the sailor
forced them back, and taking twenty
human beings into the yawl, landed
them safe on shore. Then rowing
quickly back he saved twenty more:
On the third trip he rescued nine. and
on and the fourth trip three. BY the
time he reached the shore on the last
trip all that remained Of the steamer
was her hull. Capt. Musey said last
night that ne did not think more than
five of the cabin passengers and ten of
the deck hands perished. His estimate
is regarded Us very low.

An Unrrntcful Son.

CHICAGO, Decemqer Yesterday
two men entered the house of John T..
Hewitt, at Rogers Park, knocked him
down and robbed him of $40. Two
hours later one Of them, John Harris,
was apprehended and taken to Lake
View station, where he made a confeS-
sion, stating that Harry Hewitt, Il son
of the man robbed, was his accomplice.
1t now appears from statements made
by Harris and Hewitt, ST., that young
Hewitt not only intended to rob his
father but to murder him. The elder
Hewitt is about 60 years of age and is
quite wealthy. Hewitt grappled with
his two assailants, but was thrown.
They threw IL blanket over him, and he
heard Harris say "dOnt shoot" 1mme-
diately afterwards he heard Il pistol
shot. The men then tied his hands and
feet, took his money and left. Halt an
hour later Hewitt succeeded in fr, ling
himself and promptly notified the po-
lice. Harris was caught an hour or
two later. He has quite severe scalp
wound, evidently inflicted by a bullet.
Harris says that after they had thrown
a blanket over the old man young Hew-
lit. drew Il revolver and fired ut his
father, but was SO excited that the bull
let graZed his Qlarris) head. Young
Hewitt was arrested this morning. He
refused to talk. He is only Is years

A Young Wife Driven to Suicide by Her
Husbands Cruelty.
LOUISVILLE, KY, December 14.-SiX
months ago to-day Annie Belle Cum
minis, bright girl of twenty-five, was
married to Price Gentry. This morn
ing the bride Of q half year lay dead,
killed by her own hand. The story OF
her suicide is most pathetic. Her hus-
band is young man employed at the
Kentucky Refining Company. Almost
from the beginning of their married
life he tortured his wife with cruel and
unjust suspicious. Not long ago, IN q
moment of desperation, she attempted
to drown herself, but was prevented.
Gentry promised to do better, but he
got worse. His jealousy led him to
dog her footsteps wherever she went,
and to keep her constantly under eSPl-
onage. A week ago last night the hus-
band came home under the influence OF
liuuor and announced that he would
not live with his wife again. lie then
packed his trunk and left. Yesterday
morning the heart broken young wo-
man attempted to affecta reconciliation
but her husband refused to see her. she
was found dead in her he'd this morn
ing. An empty vial that had held lau-
danum told the story Of her death. In
her hand, tightly claSped to her bosom.
was small picture Of her husband.
On the table was found this touching
note which she had probably written
after taking the fatal draught:
"Send for Price Immediately. Don't
telephone; he won't get it. 1want him
dead or living, and don't treat him
coldly, but as well rs you can for my
sake. He is young and don't know
what he is doing. I can forgive him
and so can you. l sincerely hope you
will let me die, for have nothing more
to live for. Don't grieve, for it will be
a useless existence indeed. Get the
Rev. Mr.. Morrison. Twenty-sixth and
Portland avenue. Ifyou love me don't
try to save me, for if you do 1 will do
the same again. I failed before but
hope will succeed this time. For all
that has passed I love my husband with
all my heart, and as we cannot live in
peace do not want to live without
him. He has done great deal for me
and I cannot forget it. Comfort my
dear, dear. mother, and tell her the
only thing that grieves me is her sor--
row. God bless you all, my sisters and
brothers. Pray for your most unhappy
sister. Give Barbara and Viola Belle
my love, and tell them that not even in
death are they forgotten. Don't let
your prejudices make you forget what
/ said about sending for Price, my
husband"
The note was meant for the deceased
girls sister, Mrs. e. E. Bishop. When
the jealous young husband was inform
ed of the suicide Of his deserted bride
he left his desk and wandered out OF
the house. nobody knows where.
