ST.. LOUIS, July s.-Information from
some OF the Bald Knob counties in Mis-
souri, is to the effect that trouble is brew
ing between two factions Of the Bald Knob
organization. A man known as doc"
Peters was arrested at Cassvile last eek
as Bald-Knobber and cattle thief, and
the arrest is likely to be an important one,
as Peters is now known to be one of the
leaders OF band who have stolen during
the past year more than 1000 cattle off the
range in Ozark, Christian and fancy coun-
ties. One OF these factions claims that the
other has been revealing the secrets Of the
order, and already more than one member
has been murdered for giving information
to the authorities, and more killings are
daily looked for. Both sides are we'll

New Fashion in Mourning.

N. Y. Sun.
A novel sight in the streets is a
new-fashioned mourner. Several ex-
amples Of that sort of thing have
been in upper Broadway. The usage
formerly among the ladies was to
leave off deep mourning by degrees,
merging the black into gray, and so
on until the colors of ordinary attire
were introduced. But this new style
is to depart from entire black in Sec
tions. That is to say, lady in the
later stages of bereavement will cover
herself with contrasting black and
light colors. One of these figures
has bodice nearly, but not quite,
composed of black, which color runs
down the front and at either side in a
morrow strip. Her bonnet is also
edged with black. Another one has
striped herself around her hat, on her
shoulder, at her wrists, and down
the front of her gown with the
sombre shade, while the rest of her
dress is a plain light color. Black
establishment is also seen in toilets
where no mourning is meant to be
indicated.

The Remarkable Cures

Which have been effected by Hoods
Sarsaparilla are sufficient proof that
this medicine does possess peculiar
curative power. In the severest
cases of scrofula or salt rheum, when
other preparations had been power
less, the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla
has brought about the happiest
results. The case of Miss Sarah G.
Whittier of Lowell, Mass, who
suffered terribly from scrofulous
sores that of Charles A. Roberts, Of
East Wilson, N. Y, who had thirteen
assesses on his face and neck; that
of Willie Duff, of Walpole, Mass,
who had hip disease and scrofula so
bad that physicians said he could not
recover, are a few of the many
instances in which wonderful cures
were effected by this medicine.

that these words will be beneficial to
all who suffer as l did,
About six weeks ago, while at
business, l was suddenly attacked
with excruciating pains in my feet,
knees and hands. So severe the at
tack that took to my bed immedi-
ately, and in two or three days my
joints were swollen to almost double
their natural size, and sleep was
driven from me. After suffering the
most excruciating pain for a week
using liniments and various other
remedies, friend, who sympathised
with my helpless condition, said to
me:
"Why don't you get Swift'S Specific
and use it? l will guarantee a cure,
and if it does not the medicine shall
cost you nothing"
/ at once secured the S. S. S. and
after using it the first day, had a
quiet night and refreshing sleep. In
a week l felt greatly benefited. In
three weeks l could sit up and walk
about the room, and after using six
bottles was out and able to 60 to

was crazy, and witness was ordered to
put the gang on his mouth. Williams
was entirely out of his mind, and his
