A Dream OF Fair Women.

Tennyson, in his exquisite poem, dreams
of q long procession of lovely women of
ages past. This is all very well, but the
laureate would have done the world
greater service if he had only told the
women of the present how they could i'm
prove their health and enhance their
charms. This he might easily have done
by recommending the use of DR.. Pierces
Favoyite Prescription. Health is the best
friena Of beatty. and the innumerabie ills
to which women are peculiarly subject, its
worst enemies. Long experience has
proven that the health OF wnmankind and
the "Fdvorito Prescription" walk hand in
hand aud are inseparab.e. 1t is the only
medicine for women, sold by druggists,
under a positive guarantee from the manu-
fsciuIeTs, that 1t will give satisfaction in
every csss, or money will be refunded.
This guarantee hiss been printed on the
bottle wrapper, and faithfully carried cut
for many yssrs.

SPOKANE FALLS, December 5th. - The
Chronicle yesterday published the following
paragraph:
1t is rumored on the streets to-day that Frank
Gray, of the Davenport Times, has left that
town for parts unknown. The cause of his de-
parture IS a family complication in which his
wife and printer named Thomas play promi-
nent parts.
This morning n. T. Canton, the woman's
father, W. f. Thomas, the man referred to,
and f. G. Lee, a friend, entered the office
and inquired Of w. Knight, the editor, if
q man named Knight was there. On re-
ceiving an affirmative reply, he was handed
the paper containing the article, and while
reading it he remarked that he presumed
it was written in the Chronicle office.
Immediately Canton struck at knight
with heavy cane, but it was grabbed by
a reporter. The other two men then
jumped on knight and began beating him.
One had a revolver in his hand, which
Knight grabbed, but before he could fire
the other attempted to brain him with a
chair.
knight succeeded in keeping them at
bay, although Canton returned to the at
tack, until several of the compositors ar
rived and fred the assailants.
The two younger men returned and at
tackled City Editor White, Editor Knight
being absent. they were driven away, ar
rested and indicted by the Grand Jury now
in session.
The town is greatly excited. The Cl,ron-
icte publishes a full account of the affair
and violent editorial on the subject.

Another Rumor of the Capture of Muir

NEENAH wis }, December 5th.-A young
man giving the name of c. E. Smell was
arrested at the Russell House here this
morning on suspicion of being William
Tascott. He came from Stevens Point,
Wis, and claims to be acting as agent for
a Minneapolis loan association.
A POTENT AGENT.
CHICAGO, December 5th.-Mrs. Smell,
widow of the banker murdered several
months ago by Tascott, intends to increase
the reward for his capture from $4,000 to
$4,000. She regrets that she did not offer
the latter amount at first
LATER PARTICULARS.
CHICAGO, December 5th.-Public interest
was revived in the Smell murder case to-
day by publication which appeared in an
evening paper OF q statement alleged to
have been made by a. J. Stone, son-in-law
of the murdered millionaire, in which he
said he supposed The murderer had been
captured.
Mr.. Stone said TO an Associated Press
reporter this evening that what he did say
was as follows: Il have received tele-
gram from a man who claims to have ar
rested w 3. Tascott. that he now has him
in his possession and wished 10 know when
l could send to identity him. l answered
at once: How do you know it is Tascott p
In answer l received a message saying that
the prisoner answered all the descriptions,
and that the man would send photograph
ON Monday That photograph is what I
am now waiting ior.''
An announcement was made by Mr.
Stone this evening that has lent additional
interest to this celebrated case. This was
that the widow, Mrs. Henrietta Smell, had
increased the amount of the reward offered
from $4,000 to $4,000, making it the
largest amount ever offered for the capture
of any human being in the world This
$4,000 reward will be paid by Mrs. Smell
through the Chicago Police Department.
The offer holds good for four months from
this date. All suspected parties arrested
must be photographed, and the likeness be
sent at once to either Mr.. Stone or George
w. Hubbard, Superintendent of the Chi
cago Police Department. No detectives
will be sent, as heretofore, until strong
marks of Identification are presented.

Southern California Aroused by the New
State Proposition.


SAN DIEGO, December 5th--The dispatch
announcing that Representative Vandever
of this district to-day introduced in the
House of Representatives resolution for
a division of California arouses great inter
est here. The Sun this afternoon says:
This is an important measure, and one
that will probably be indorsed by the peo
pie of Southern California Until recently
Southern California was barely recognized
in the State Government, because San
Francisco, with its large population and
important commerce, used all its influence
for the benefit Of the central and northern
parts Of the State which were tributary
to it. But Southern California, with its
great and illimitable resources, has grown
rapidly in the past three or four years, and
Leaving out the territory adjoining the
bay of San Ffsncisco-it has larger popu-
lation than the upper part of the State.
Our industrial methods are widely Giversi-
fed and require special legislation, which
can never be attained as long as we have
the combined influence of the northern
PORTION of the State to combat. Southern
California is rich and populous enough to
assume the responsibility of Statehood"
