Bold Abduction.

WICHITA, April 2O.-A tremendous
sensation was caused here to day when it
was reported that Mrs. Eliza Nixon, an
aged and wealthy lady, had been stolen
from her residence at 800 North Mosley
avenue. Mrs. Nixon is 50 years old and
has a large amount of realty and other
property. She has been living with a
niece, her nearest relative, for a number
of years, and is quite infrm. This morn
ing SO the niece says, a strange man came
to the house and had a talk with Mrs.
Nixon concerning a lawsuit began against
her to day for So, 800 in a land contro-
vcrsy. This stranger went away and soon
returned with another man and a cab.
The second stranger wore a star,
and from this the niece supposed
he was an officer and that they
were at the house concerning the lawsuit.
Mrs. Bushy, the neice, says she did not
pay any particular attention to the men
or her aunt, and that she first missed
them upon going into the room where
they had been talking with the old lady,
and found them all gone. A neighbOr
Nixon into the cab and the vehicle driven
rapidly away. 1t was not long before the
authorities were informed of the abduc-
ton and search was begun. Not the
slightest clue to the whereabouts of the
Old lady has thus far been obtained, and
the excitement has grown as darkness
approaches. Some think she was re-
moved by friends to avoid a lawsuit,
while others think she was stolen with
the object OF ransom for her return.

ON TRIAL.
Madam Diss Debar Before the
New York Courts.
Marsh's mistaken Be-
lief in the Charlatan.
He Amuses the Spectators with
Spirit Communications"
a Deluded Lawzer.

New YoRK, April 20.-At the trial of
Nine. Dlss Debar LAWYER Marsh, the de-
luded victim, entertained the spectators
with selections from a note book filed
with communications from the spirits.
One message from Peter the apostle, of
sixteen pages was written, Marsh said, in
two minutes. 1t took fifteen minutes 10
read it, and was a fairly good sermon. St.
Anthony of Padua, was also heard from.
Marsh declared his uushaken belief that
these communications really came from
the ancient worthless whose lanes they
bore through Nine. Diss Debar as did
the portraits of Shakespeare and Claudi-
us, the Roman emperor. Adelaide Neil
son the actress notified him in advance
through the medium that he would re-
ceive a Shakespeare portrait, and SO
Marsh continued his remarkable tale, GO
ing into the details of the production of
the various paintings and 'communlca-
tons in a manner which conclusively

The pension BIN Passed.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-In the house
to-day Townshend of Illinois, from the
committee Oh military affairs, reported a
bill placing Gen. w. f. (Baldy) Smith on
the retired list with the rank Of major
general Private calendar. The first bill
OF the calendar was the pension appro-
p~riation bill.
Mr.. Henderson of Iowa, alluded to the
recent action of the house regarding the
purchase OF bonds with the surplus in
order to diSpel the doubts in the mind OF
the president as to his authority to pur-
chase bonds. In examining the arrears
of the pension act it would be found that
there was no limitation as to the time
when claims should be filed. The only
limitation ever placed upon that act was
found in an appropriation bill. He called
the attention OF the administration to this
fast, for if the president had trouble in
buying bonds with the surplus he should
have equal difficulty 10 not allowing the
arrears Of pensions. He appealed to the
president to be consistent and allow arrears
of pensions to those who filed claims with
in the provisions ofthe act.
Henderson then referred to admins
tration of the Mexican pension law. So
rapid was the pension bureau, he said, in
ltIOEilLlDR inc CldlluS uuQtT lnls law lU1I
pensions were allowed before a claimant
ever put in his claim and certificates were
issued when the beneticiency did not know
that he was n claimant. In proof of the
assertion he sent to the clerks desk and
had read an article iu a Chicago paper to
the effect that Commissioner Black had
issued a pension certificate to ex Congress
man Morrison, Notwithstanding that he
was informed that Morrison 5 name did
not appear on the list of applicants aud
that Morrison had returned it, stating
that he had never applied for a pension.
Cultivate asked Henderson to prove
another similar case. saying hat he was
anxious that Henderson shonld keep to
the truth.
Hcndcrson-I want the truth from
your pious commissioner, who started out
in the administration of bis office by
charging against "A faithful ofiicer-a
brother officer who left part of his body
ON tue battlefield (Col. Dudley)-that
during his administration the pension
office from the turret to the foundation
was used for political purposes.
Ourhwaite-Did he not prove it?
Hcnderspn-NO, never. Now that
SAINT gentleman stands convicted on Dem
Ocratic authority Of violating the terms of
the law aud swiftly issuing "a certificate to
a Democratic chief who was too high and
too clean to become a party to the trans
action. This man who entered upon the
discharge Of his duties with a heaven
erected lace like a saint is caught in the
Democratic trap. He has got lower down
in struggling for political influence than
u officer | have ever know
When the general debate cldsed amend
ments we've adopted providing that in all
cases Of pensions to widows payments
shall be made from the date OF the death
OF their husbands, and that all officers of
tbe t'uited States who are authorized to
administer oaths shall do SO free of
charge
The committee then rose and tie bill,
which appropriated IS, $50, 900, was
passed.

OF a hard working carpenter. by the name
of Addie Coats.
For some time the husband has had a
suspicion that all was not right between
his wife and her pastor, but it was not
until a day or two ago that his suspicious
were verified by the discovery of a num-
Der of letters from Riley in the woman's
pockets. The letters were filed with OBJ
scene language. Goats turned them over
to the government authorities, who sent
an officer to arrest Riley. The officers
found the preacher in the midst of a tenn
perance lecture, and, arresting him, led
him from the church in spite of the op-
position of the audience.

The BetheI Homa Fire.

ST. LOUIS, April 2O.-A thorough
search Of the ruins of the Bethel home
fire resulted in finding the bodies of three
men. III the hospital. burned and bruised,
are four others. The origin of the fire is
unknown, though it is believed to have
come from the pipe of a sleeper on the
second floor. The fourth and fifth stories
were occupied by about seventy dodgers,
forty of whom were colored. Yesterday
seems to have been a day of general de
bauch, for most of the men seem to have
been aroused from their drunken stupor
with difficulty and found their exit cut off
from the stairway. A negro found a rope
at the fifth story hall window and gave
tidings to the others imprisoned on that
floor as he slid out of the window to the
pavement. There was a general scramble
for the window, and half a dozen men at
a time came down the rope hand over
hand, while there was a struggle at the
window of frantic men pursued by smoke
and fire,

Until the skin was raw. Rody COW

tar. Cured by the Cuticura Heme-

l am going to tell you of the extraordinary
change your Cutlcura Remedies performed on
me. About the first of April last | noticed
some red pimples like coming out all over my
body, but thought nothing of 1t until some
time later on, when it began to look like spots
OF mortar spotted on, and which came or i'm
layers, accompanied with itching. l would
scratch every night until l was raw, then the
next night, the scales being formed mean
while, were scratched of again. In vain did
l consult all the doctors in the country, but
without aid. After giving up all hopes of re
covery, | happened to See an advertisement in
the newspaper about your Cuticura Remedies,
ana purchased them from my druggist, and
obtained almost Immediate relief. Ibegan to
notice that the scaly eruptions gradually
dropped OIL and disappeared one by one, and
have been fully cured. l had the disease thir-
teen months before l began taking the Cuti-
cuIa itemedies, and in four or five weeks was
entirely cured. My disease was eczema and
psoriasis. l recommended the Cuticura Rem
edles 10 all of my vicinity, and I know of IA
great many who have taken them, and thank
me for the knowledge of them, especially
mothers who have babes with scaly eTuptions
on their heads and bodies. l cannot express
