TEN MILLION In MONEY.

DENVER, COL, Aug. &c. ID.
Bell, of Louisville, KY, is in the city
consulting with his attorney, who is
perfecting claims of heirs to the
Brandenburg estate near Berlin, Ger
many, valued at over S10,000,000.
Mr.. Bell says all the heirs to this
estate live in America, and number
nearly 100. The history of the case
dates back to 400, when dissensions
arose in the royal house of Hobenzol-
lern. One of the descendants was
Solomon Brandenburg, whose estate
was confiscated in 100. Matthias
Bra ndenburg, the heir of Solomon,
came to America. and settled in Win
chester, Va, where he died in 1907,
| leaving family of twelve children,
one of whom was the grandfather OF
MIR. Bell. Matthias told his family
of the estate in Germany, and in 1864
an advertisement appeared in Ameri.
can papers and German papers inquir'
ing the whereabouts of the heirs OF
Solomon Brandenburg, the estate
having previously been restored
The castle on the estate is said to be
one of the finest in Germany.-RodTs

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted?
If you will remember few years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively I'M
known,-to day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of anoth-
err word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is with nervous diseases, as
they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Bilious
ness, and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing it functions
finding it cannot dispose of the bile
through the ordinary channel is compell-
ed to pass it off through the system,
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bill
ious Fever, etc. You who are suffering
can well appreciate a cure. We recon-
mend Green's August Flower. Its cures
are marvellous.

MURDER ON THE MOUNTAINS
CHAMBERsBURG. Pa, August 3D.
Fuller particulars of the murder. Of
Harvey Blake on Tuesday night,
which have been received here, prove
it to have been one of the most revolt
ing crimes ever committed in this
section. Blake, or Frederick Colbert,
as he sometimes calls himself, was
native of Front Royal, Va. About
fourteen years ago he murdered man
there and escaped over the line into
this county. He married here but
got into trouble and fled to Maryland
He was captured at Hagerstown for
his crime and has been in the peniten-
tiary for twelve or thirteen years.
Last week he was liberated, and
came Immediately to his old home.
He found that during his long absence
his wife had married man named
Jacob Manon. He went to the house
where Manon and his wife, Emanuel
Baker. and a man from Maryland
named Pierce Snyder, were all living
together. Blake claimed his former
wife, but she refused to go with him.
He got very angry, and threatened to
kill the whole party. On Tuesday
night he went to to the house again,
and quarrel ensued between the
parties. He was ordered away, and
as he started to run from the house
Baker shot him in the back, badly
wounding him, with thirty-twO large
shots. He ran toward the Maryland
state line, pursued. by Baker and
Snyder, who were firing their revol.
vers at him. When he was three
hundred yards from the house he fell,
and Baker and Snyder beat him to
death. His head was beaten into the
ground up to his ears, making hole
into the ground three and fourth
inches deep, and his face was crushed
into an unrecognizable mass.
They left the body lying out on the
mountain all night. Baker gave him.
self up and admitted the killing
Baker and Manon are now njail here
but Snyder escaped over the line into
Maryland.

LIFE OF BEN. HARRISON-By the
author of Ben. H,T.-It gives us gen.
uine pleasure to announce to our read
ers the publication of the charming
life story of General Harrison, by an
author of world wide fame and to say
that the book is worthy of that
fame.
Gen. Harrison has truly illustri-
Gus ancestry, but that fades into in
significance before the graphic story
of his own life as herein pictured by
his old friend Gen. Lew Wallace.
1t is remarkable that together these
men have risen from the quiet walks
of life to their present eminence.
Gen. Wallace in the preparation of
this fascinating biography, has had in
addition to his wonderful descriptive
powers not only the advantage of an
intimate personal acquaintance with
Gen. Harrison, but experience as a
soldier, and an extensive knowledge
of both national and international
affairs. He is therefore qualified to
tell the thrilling life story much as an
eye witness and participant and intel
ligen:ly discuss the great national is
sues now agitating the whole country,
and to declare with authority Gen.
Harrison's views concerning them.
Every loyal citizen anxious for the
continued prosperity of our country
should read this splendid Illustration
of the true road to fame.
The work is issued by the well
known house of Hubbard Bros, of
Philadelphia, Chicago, and Kansas
City, and is beautifully illustrated.
We are not surprised to hear it is hav-
ing wonderful rapid sale through
agents.
Here is fine chance for energetic
young men to make money, as every
family in the land should be afforded
a chance to procure this remarkable
interesting and important work and
that right speedily.
