A MISSING MAN.
A New York Man Is Missing and
Murder Is Feared.

ROSE, n. Y. Dec. 31.-F. c. Van
Marter, about thirty years of age, came
here about five weeks ago with his wife,
a pretty and attractive woman of sew
enteen. He rented house about four
miles from town, where he stored his
household goods and intended to occupy
it in about month. In the meantime
he and his wife stopped with relatives
two miles from their house. Dec. u
three men came to where Van Marter
was staying, and kicked and pounded
him and told him to leave town without
further warning. The men said they
had row with Van Marter some time
ago, but did not get satisfaction. The
mysterious part of the affair is that Van
Marter has not been seen since, and
murder is suspected. His wife is still
at his relatives, and refuses to say any
thing about the affair, but it is thought
that she has had nothing to do with the
disappearance of her husband. A sus-
piciouS incident connected with the
affair was the total destruction of an old
unOccupied house near the place of the
assault, which was burned to the ground
early the next morning. Since then
nothing has been seen OF heard of Van
Marter, and it is generally believed that
he is dead, as nothing can be learned of
his whereabouts. His father says he
had a fight with three men some time
ago, and they whipped him very badly,
and told him to leave the country or
they would meet him again.

In the shouts and laughter of troop of chill

answer might be. But his reason, If good
reason he had, will remain lost in obscurity,

philosophy possessed by his friend. Whether
it was in capacity for noise or inclination for

elfin dives and ducks and plunges in the

suggested itself as a reason for the boys SUI

Some expressions are all the more
forclble for having sprung spontane-

ing aid of grammar. Little Lillian had
an uncomfortable way of waking before
light and expecting the family to rise
with her at what they considered an I'M
bearably early hour.
Lillian, you must lie still and try to
sleep said her mother one morning,
when this early bird began to chirp.
"I'll try" said the little girl, and so
she did, but it was to no purpose. In
five minutes she was sitting up in bed
playing with her little pink toes. This
time her mother, growing impatient, as
sleepy people have been known to do,
summarily extinguished her under the
bedclothes, saying in despair, Lillian,
told you to try once more to go to
sleepr"

Lillian, land l did try, but the wake

The Plain Truth.

When person with delicate constitution
has tendency to catarrh or consumption
whether this tendency is inherited or results
from taking cold easily-it is noticeable that
that person invariably loses flesh and loses
strength, showing that the nutrition is inter
fered with.
In such a case the sufferer should at once
be placed under influences that will restore
the defective nutrition and tend to invigor-
ate the constitution.
1t is to be remembered that in every case
the presence of catarrh is an evidence or
predisposition to consumption. and no mat
ter how slight the attack may be, it should
be treated with the greatest care, and the
treatment should be continued until all
traces of the catarrh have disappeared.
If the catarrh is allowed to reach the small
est tubes in the lungs-which condition is in
Dictated by the splitting up of yellow mate
rial-then immediate attention to the NAL
ady is demanded, or serious lung trouble will
result.
Catarrh is, nine times out Of ten, the cause
that produces consumption, and hence no
one can afford to neglect case of catarrh,
however slight. 1t is easily cureu if taken in
time and treated regularly and correctly by a
specialist. If left to itself it is rarely cured
without change of climate but with each
new cold it gets more and more troublesome,
extending always little deeper into the
lungs, until cure becomes difficult and
sometimes impossible.
