Taken Back.

twill be remembered that several
weeks ago Sheriff Naill received tele-
gram from the authorities at East st
Louis requesting him to arrest one
Mike Powell, who was wanted for an
assault with intent to kill. Mr.. Nall
tracked the man TO the Midland hotel
and arrested him. Since that time he
has been lodged in Jail.
Tie st. Louis authorities, having
obtained requisition from the Cover
nor for the criminal, sent an officer
after him and yesterday he was taken
east to answer before the courts for his
crime. ~ esa+
The crime Of which Powell was ac-
cused was particularly atrocious one
and there is thought to be little doubt
of his guilt. He had for some time
evaded the officers and when he arrived
here it was as well-dressed gentle
man of leisure instead of a common
thug. 1t was only through Sheriff
Nails prompt action that he was cap
tured. G =

For sometime past there have been
rnmors of illicit whisky selling at Man
chester, but it has been only recently
that things have assumed sufficiently
definite shape to warrant the officers in
taking action therein.
Lately, however, the matter has as
sumed such serious aspect that il
could not longer be borne and yester-
day Under Sheriff Ellison went up to
the place and arrested John and VIM.

attendance on the funeral services of
the Rev. John Curtis yesterday after
noon. Hundreds who had known him
and listened to bis words of consolation
and cheer were present tn show their
respect to his memory, and the Metho-

earnest phrases told of his fellow
pastors life and his triumphant faith,
bparing him safely and untremblingly
to the gates of the future world. A
long train of mourning friends fol-

A BIG SCHEME.
A Lumber Syndicate Be ing Formed
in Abilene.


It is rumored that there is on band
one Of the biggest syndicate deals ever
known in Central Kansas. The report
is that q block of ground has been leased
near the Santa Fe depot and a number
Of wealthy citizens have formed q COM
pany to put in operation a mammoth
lumber yard which will have the Co
operation Of the Santa Fe road and give
the people of this vicinity the most re-
markabie bargains in prices ever
known.
One of the chief disadvantages of
Kansas has been the high prices
charged for lumber, and this syndicate,
having the Santa Fe line to ship
over, q line running through
the hard pine belts and the densely
wooded sections Of the West will be
able to lay down material here at al
most nominal prices. We only secured
the information regarding the company
with much difficuity as the scheme Is
being kept very quiet, but further de-
reiopments may be looked for soon.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and Won
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out Of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
and many other things which ought
not TO be, have made the American
people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work In reforming this sad
business and making the American
people so healthy that they can enjoy
their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle.

ASLEEP In THE LORD.
Rev. John Curtis, One of Abilene's
Oldest and Most Respected Citizens
Taken-A Faithful Worker in the
Lords Service.

Oldest and Most Respected Citizens
Taken-A Faithful Worker in the
Lords Service.
AS has been we'll known, the Rev,
John Curtis, one Of the most respected
ministers and citizens of the city. has
been for some time quite feeble 1t
was not, however, supposed that he
was in a dangerous condition and the
news OF his death came with sudden
ness this morning when the Fact was
known upon the street..
DE began losing health about two
years ago and has been failing In
strength ever since. The immediate
cause of his death was heart trouble
brought on by kidney disease and
dropsy. Yesterday be did not COM
plain of feeling unusually i'll; lie ate
hearty supper and took nap after
wards. When he awoke he complained
of feeling tired and expressed desire
to 20 to bed His wife assisted him to
the bedroom where he sat down upon
the edge of the bed and fell over in
sensible. 1t was then about 10 clock.
Doctors were called at once and they
decided that he had died Immediately
at the time be became unconscious.
Mr.. Curtis was "a years of age. He
leaves to mourn his decease wife and
nine children. all of the latter being
grown to womanhood and manhood.
His life, since he became of age, has
been spent in the ministry of the
United Brethren and Meth dill
Episcopal churchs. From the active
service of the latter he retired several
years ago on account of advancing
years. Since 1870 he has made his
home in this city where he has consid-
cradle property. He has from time to
time, until his feebleness became too
great, filed the pulpls of tie city
churches and every church goer is
familiar with his earnest and cOnvinc-
ing manner Of presenting the word OF
God to his hearers. The class meeting,
the prayer meeting, and the Sunday
school, have all known his constant
presence, and his life has been a con-
slant following in the footsteps of the
Saviour whose servant he was.
During the day many sympathizing
friends have called at the home Oh
East Fourth street to offer their con-
dolence and their aid to the bereaved
ones.
The time of the funeral services has
not yet been decided upon, as the rel
atives are waiting to hear from the alb
sent children.
Through the sorrow and pain that
always comes with death. across the
shadow and the sadness that is ever in
its wake there is, when the good man
dies, the record of life well-spent. a
fight well-fought. to solace and give
comfort. So with the Rev. John Curtis.
lie has kept The f 18th" and enter
into the joy Of the future world free
from pain and grief and rich in the
glory of the blest. With his faith
planted firmly in the promises of the
NJ ,ster death had no terrors for him.
HE died,
AS one who had been studied in his death,
Giving up the dearest thing he owned
As ( were a careless trifie."
