use of Swift's Specific. We had
among the children some who
had scrofula-notAbly one case in
which it was
UNM 'STAKABLY HEREDITARY.
We got some of Swift's specific and
gave it to this case and in a short
while it was cured sound and we'll.
1t was as bad a case, | think, as |
ever saw, and had been under ex-
cellent physicians with no perma~

ing it to all the children as health
tonic. We have -four children and
one sean stress who, for ears have
suffered intensely every spring
with erysipelas, and though they
have been taking Swiit's Specific
only in small doses as health ton
ic, they all without exception, pass
ed through this spring without a
touch of this complaint.
A young lady of the institution,
who has been with us for years, has
been troubled with most aggravs-

She tried all the known remedies
that are prescribed for it with no

Galveston Experiences q Novel Sensation In
the WAY of Cool Weather.

GALVESTON. Tex, Jan. 16.-The Dakota
blizzard struck the Gulf of Mexico at this point
of o'clock Sunday morning, causing fall in
the temperature of thirty degrees in two hours.
The blizzard came upon the city with remarka-
BILE suddenness and without the slightest warn
ing from the weather bureau at Washington,
the bulletin ordering up signals and predicting
freezing weather arriving only thirty minutes
before the blizzard itself, From 62o at midnight
the mercury fell to 29o by daylight, and heavy
sleet began TO fall, covering the city with coat
of ice By Sunday evening telegraph and tele-
phone wires leading from the main land and
into the city were all pulled down by ice
which had formed on them, and the city was
tirely cut off from telegraphic communication
for nearly twenty four hours. The weather is
the most severe experienced here since January,
1885. The mercury toeday indicated twenty de-
grees above zero and the ground is covered with
nearly an inch of snow. ALI street traffic was
interrupted during the day, owing to the
perilously slippery condition of the thorough
fares. Owing to the telegraphic interruption
reports regarding the loss and suffering to live
stock have yet been received here, but the
neral opinion is that the weather is cold

Sensational stories of suffering in Kansas
have been telegraphsd over the country lately,
which grossly misrepresenue the facts, and are
an injustice to that State. When these rumors
were first set ahoat the Times sent special
correspondents to the districts which were said

just what the facts are. The weather in Kansas
has not been unusually severe this winter. A

AS to general suffering in Kansas. it has existed

STEVENSON TOMBSTONE
A FATHER AND A FORTUNE.
Why a Young Printer Did Not Inherit the
Great Wealth He Expected.
81 East Washington ST,

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 16.-The settlement of
the celebrated Newberry estate in Chicago
brought to light somewhat romantic story in
this city. A young printer laboring at the case
in this city of the heirs of the estate,
and, with his sister, was entitled to nearly
S10O 000 his fathers share of the dead relatives
riches. His mother was supposed to be widow.
and he had always supposed that such was the
case, having many times been assured by her
that his father had died while he was infant.
When millionaire Walter Newberry died at sea.
and his body was brought to this country, pre-
served in a cask of spirits, dozens Of heirs came
forward with their claims.
The young printers father was direct heir,
and after the estate had been settled it was
shown that he, or, in case of his death, his heirs
were entitled to about $780, 900. This sum was
to have been divided equally between the young
man and his sister, and, on the strength of his
brighter ned prospects the former made arrange
ments to hasten his wedding day. But the
fortune never materialized. About the time
that the young man was ready to go to Chicago
to receive his share of the fortune his mother
made remarkable confession His father
alive. the last time that his mother had
heard of him some years before She informed
her son that while he was a mere child she
had quarreled with her husband, and that they
ad been divorced It was agreed that the
mother should nave the daughter and the father
the son, but when the time came she could not
bear separation from either of her children, and
family of friead in the Northwest. His father
was told that he was dead, and the boy in turn
was deceived by the story of his fathers death.
The woman stated that she understood that her
former husband and the father OF her two chill
dren living in obscure town in Illinois,
and that he married again and reared another
family.
This was startling information, for If his
father was living the young man could have no
claim to the fortune awaiting him in Chicago.
An immediate trip to Illinois made, and
there, in a small village. the father was found,
man well along in years, but still hale and
hearty, and with family of young children
around him. 1t was joyful meeting between
father and son. The father knew nothing of
the division of the Newberry estate among tho
heirs. From his sons lips he first heard that he
was q rich man, and 1T was not long before he
established his claim and came into possession
of the money.
The son returned to Cleveland as Door as when
he left home. He had found father and lost
fortune by it. He went back to his cases. and
soon afterward married. His father will doubt
less remember him in his will. but there
other children to share the money with. and the
young printers patrimony is likely to be small
when he does receive it.

married Keep who apparently died in june 1887.

favor, dated in 1881, was then probated. Mrs.
Keep claims that this null and void, in
1873 Keep had made a will in her favor, and she
furnished the money to start the Wal-street
News. She was about to sue Keep to recover
this money, and also about to apply for annul-
ment of her divorce from him. when Keep was
reported to have died at Long Branch. She was
prevented from seeing his body or attending the
funeral. She has affidavit of the janitor oe
the building in which Keeps office was situated
in New York, to the effect that Keep was seen
there the day before his alleged DEATH The
certificates OF death and burial misstate
the age and nativity of the deceased.
Keep had often told her that if cornered IN any
trouble ne would fegn death and escape by the
aid of friends. who would report him dead. He
had often declared, after his estraugement from
her began, that he would prevent her, in some
way, from recovering her property The bust
ness IS carried on now the same If Keep were
alive. and Mrs. Keep alleges that he is alive and
in conspiracy with Mills and his second wife to
dcfraud her, or else that he was murdered by
them in order that they might get control of the
