IF you are suffering from Malaria, ask
your druggist for Shallenberger's Antidote
for Malaria. If he don't have it, and tells
you he has something just as good, don't
bcIieuc MIN, but send one dollar to DR.. A. T.
ShaLlcnbergcr, Rochester, Penn'a., and get
the Ant!dote by mail. A few doses will re-
store you to perfect health. The Medicine
is IN the form of pills, but is not a purga-
tive. 1t not only destroys Malaria, but is an
excellent tonic.

tinued. could fail to recognize the

not very hospitable, but finally con-
Guided to sell me food. After a few
hours ! got on pretty friendly terms
with them. and they allowed me to
camp in the village. Suddenly ! OBJ
served Il little commotion among the
natives. A few carriers were eel
emerging from the forest, and with
them was a slender, sad-evea, poorly
clad white man. 1t was the Governor
of the FrencA Congo himself, and he
was off on one OF his long trampa
through the country.
DE Brazza approached a group OF
natives and asked them for food. The
savages thought this was piling it on.
No. they said, gruilly; I'VE have one
white man here already. You cant
get food here. You had better go or
your way
de Brazza said nothing. He sim.
ply ordered his carriers to lay dowr
their loads in the middle of the village
Then he sat down apart from the ma.
tives while one OF the men unpacked
his astronOmical9 and other instru-
ments. The explorer went to work
to make observations for position and
to calculate his altitude.

made up their minds that his instru.

and that this white mar was a per.
son not to be trillcd with. Soon a
crowd gathered around him, and when
the curious blacks came too near, the
explorer frightened them away by his
grutf manner and inpatient gestures.
"Get away from me. Clear out
Don't you see I'm busy. Let me
alone he said.
AT length De Brazza finished his
work and put away his instruments.
Some natives had been cooking their
evening meal in front Of their hut,
Their meat and vegetables, which had
been boiling in n pot, eel ready, and
the group gathered around the dying
fire and began TO eat. De BraZZu
watched them for q minute or two.
Then he took a tin plate and a large
spoon, walked up to the pot, helped
himself liberaIly to its contents with
out saying Il word TO any body, sat
down by a tree. and rogalcd himself

MORE ABOUT RUDOLPH.

Another Sensation Connected With His
Mysterious Death.
LONDON, Feb. THE Munich CORE
spondent to the Daily News says he be-
lieves that the following story of Crown
Prince Rudolph's death is the true one:
On Tuesday afternoon last, a Baroness
whose name is not given, but who is
described as beautiful girl, not tall,
rather dark and of a lively disposition.
arrived at MeYerling and took up quarters
in the gamekeeper's house near the castle.
Her presence was known only TO the game
keeper and his wife. At midnight when
Rudolph had dismissed his guests he
visited her.. The Crown Prince had been
about an hour in the gamekeeper's house
when forester, equipped for the morn
ing chase, going to consult the game
keeper, knocked loudly upon the door. A
window opensd and a man jumped out and
fed. The, forester fred at the fugitive,
who fell and tainted, having been shot in
the shoulder. He was recognized as the
Crown Prince and the forester hastily
summoned help and carried him into the
gamekeeper's house. The Baroness. think
ing Rudolph was dead, quickly took some
thing from a travelling bag and before she
was noticed fell deal to the floor. a.
Rudolph rallied and was taken by his own
orders to the CASTLE His valet piled him
with anxious questions, but Rudolph said
emphatically: II have fallen and my nose
is bleeding Go away. wish to be alone. 4"
Rudolph then locked the door and shot
himself The Baroness was buried on
Thursday in the Heiligenkiesen convent,
where other members of the family are in
tered.
The journal 5ies Debats of Paris, has a
similar story except that it says that Ru-
dolph was mortally wounded by the for
ester and died in half an hour. and that
the gamekeeper went into the house and
shot himself. The story of suicide itsays,
was invented to hide the truth.

DEATH OF BELLE STARR.

Career OF This Famous Amazon-Saso Co
Have Been Shot.
FoRr SMITH, Ark, Feb. GA telegram
has been received in this city by James
Starr, the husband of the famous Belle
Starr. announcing that she had been shot
dead at Eufaula. No particulars were
given and nothing to show who did the
deed.
The death of this notorious woman
closes remarkable and very interesting
career, probably not equalled in romance
by any American woman. Her whole
life, as near as can be learned, has been
spent with desperate and lawless classes
OF men, and her own proves as q crack
shot and a desperate woman, has been for
some years the talk of the entire South
west, where most of her life has been
spent Rumor connects her with the FAM
Gus James and Younger gangs in Missouri
and with various later day notorieties.
For some years she has lived in the Nation
and has frequently been in Fort Smith on
business and as q witness at the United
States court After the arrest Of her first
husband. Cole Younger, she married Sam
Starr and lived with him in the Choctaw
Nation. With her husband she was in Fort
Smith about three years ago and the two
left for home in the evening. but on the
dance across the river, where they ran
across an old enemy named West Starr
pulled his pistol and shot West through
the groin, while in the death throes West
managed to pull his pistol and shot Starr,
both dying at the same time. Belle was
in the house at the time, and upon hear
ing the shooting she took two pistols, one
in each hand, and went out to do her share
Of the killing, but when she arrived both
were dead. Soon afterward she married
her late husbands cousin. James Starr,
who was in the city yesterday, when the
telegram announcing her death was re-
ceived. He is a tall, we'll formed Indian,
with. long hair falling down over his
shoulders. There was bad blood in his
eye when he heard the news. and, without
delay, he saddled his horse. provided him
self with quart OF whisky, and struck
out on the run for home, saying somebody
was going to suffer-
Belle Starr has figured in the United
States court in this city on several occa-
sions, and was once sent to the peniten.
tiary for selling whisky in the Nation.
Dressed in mems Clothes riding in a good
saddle and armed with q brace of formid-
able pistols Belle Starr has raided,
caroused and participated in every known
form of outlawry prevalent in the Nation.
She rode at pace and with a grace that
that knew no equal, shot with great skill,
and with it all she was q we'll educated
and accomplished woman. Many citizens
of Fort Smith have heard her play on the
piano in this city, and she was generally
recognized as thoroughly well posted in
various other accomplishments. She has
one daughter named Pearl Younger, a
beautiful girl, possessing her mothers IRE
and her fathers reckless criminality.
