CATARRR OF THE STOMACH.

ease has reached, it will subdue it, if
taken according to directions for rea-
sonable length of time. One or two
of DR.. Pierce's Pellets taken with the
Discovery will add to its efficacy in
case the liver is very torpid and the
bowels eonstipated. D..
The "Golden Medical Discovery" is
the only medicine guaranteed to
benefit or cure in every case of Catarrh
of the Stomach, or money paid for it
will be promptly refunded. The "Dis-
covery" acts specifically upon the af-
fected lining membranes of the stom-
ach, subduing the morbid conditions
existing therein and preventing their
degenerating into liberation or posi-
bly, cancerous disease. 1t contains no
alcohol to inebriate; no sugar or syrup
to ferment and further derange diges-
ton. AS wonderful in its curative re-
suits as it is peculiar IN its chemical
composition. 1t stands alone-incoM-

described, distressing and dangerous
malady which afflicts so many of our
people in all stations of life.

THE LIBERTY TRAGEDY.
A Silly Young Wife's Improper Relation,
with the Attorney the Cause of Hel
Husbands Tragic Death.

silly Young Wife's Improper Relations
with the Attorney the Cause of Her
Husbands Tragic Death.
LIBERTY, Mo-, Jan. 9.-The terrible
tragedy of Tuesday night resulting in
the death of John Lewton mot Luy-
ton, as previously spelled, was the d.
rect outgrowth of the illicit love of the
young, dark-haired and pretty girl
wife and ex-Prosecuting Attorney
James l.. SheetZ, his slayer.
From reliable sources it has been
learned that SheetZ and Mrs. Lewton
came to this city Christmas day and
spent the afternoon together at lodg.
ing house. The news of his wife's sin
was carried to John Lewton; he sought
her betrayer and met his death.
Lewton was unarmed, and the pre-
sumption from the evidence before
the coroner is that he went to the office
of SheetZ for the purpose of having a
verbal understanding with the lawyer.
or to punish him for what he called
in speaking to a well known citizen be-
fore the killing-the breaking up of his
home.
Lewton more than once since his re-
turn from California before Christmas
complained of an alleged over-friendli-
ness having existed between Sheetz
and Mrs. Lewton. He threatened tc
whip him for coming to Kansas City
on New Years day in company with
Mrs. Lewton, and in another converse
ton he said he intended shaping the
face off, Sheetz for breaking up his
home. 1t quite evident that he went
to the Office of Sheetz for the purpose
of having this understanding" He
was unarmed, and of course it must be
inferred that his idea was to give
Sheetz a punishment with his fists or a
flashing with his tongue.
The scene that was enacted in the
law Office Tuesday night may never be
portrayed for the public gaze. Sheetz
and Lewton saw every thing that hap
pened, one can not and the other may
not tell the story.

NOTES FOR NATuRALIsTs.

NEARLY all the insects, crustaceans,
worms, snails and the like go into win
ter quarters; frogs and all the reptile
kind hibernate by burying themselves
in the mud or under stones.
THE Chinese sacred lily is narcissus
belonging to the polyanthus group. 1t
can be grown in bowls or shallow dishes
filed with small pebbles and kept well
supplied with water.
IT is said that singular fact con-
nected with the cultivation of the ba-
mana is that it seeds only in one small
spot on the earth-the Andaman Islands.
Everywhere else it must be raised from
suckers
An entirely new rose, called the
rainbow rose," was exhibited at re-

delicate shade of rose pink, with darker
bars running lengthwise of the petals.

Celebrating Jackson's Day.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Andrew Jack
son day was celebrated by the Demo.
Gratis at New York last night in an en-
thusiastic manner. Probably the most
elaborate affair of the kind in this
country was the dinner of the
Business Mems Democratic Club
at the Hoffman House, which at
tracted more attention than any other
affair of the season. The dinner was
largely in honor of the election of the
following Democratic Governors:
Boies, of Iowa; Campbell, of Ohio;
Mckinney, of Virginia; Albeit,
of New Jersey, and TOole, of Montana.
Albeit was the only one of the distin-
guished m en- mentioned who found it
possible to attend. All the others sent
letters of regret, as did also ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland and Governor Hill, of
New York.

DRINKING-WATER.
Some Conclusions as to the Value OF Fill
tering the Fluid.


Pure drinking water is one of the es-
sentials of healthy existence. The rea-
sons for this proposition multiply with
every advance of our knowledge of
health, of disease, and of morbific
agents. Our recent knowledge of germs
has given a new impetus to the study
of drinking-water.
In many communities water is filtered
because of its cloudy appearance, in
others to get rid of some supposed I'M
healthful ingredients. The efficiency
of ordinary filters has been frequently
questioned, and as employed it remains
an open question whether on the whole
they do more good or harm.
DR.. Charles 7. Curries gives us the re-
suits of some extended studies of water
bacteriolOgically. As this bears upon
the value of filters, we quote his results:
Boiling sterilized water within thirty
minutes kills harmful bacteria. No
chemical agents sterilize water when
used in amounts that are safe.
The process of distilling water de-
stroys all germs.
Ordinary filters, even if satisfactory
as strainers, fail to remove all bacteria
from drinking-water. 1t may, indeed,
allow a more rapid multiplication of the
micro-organisms in the filtering ma
terial itself. The finer the substance
through which the water passes, and
the lower the pressure, the more perfect
is the action of the filter in holding
back bacteria.
Porous rebaked porcelain, carefully
selected, is the best of all substances
for domestic filters. If thick and strong
enough to allow the use of large sur
face, and the substance remains perfect,
this may yield fair flow of clear water
free from all bacteria. To insure the
permanency of this action the filter
should be occasionally sterilized
throughout by steaming or other means.
Where filtering is really necessary it
is, in general, best for the community
that it be done carefully on a large
scale, through sand beds, upon which a
fine layer of organic and inorganic mat
ter is expressly produced by sedimenta-
ton, because of the valuable action of
the latter in holding back the great ma
jority of bacteria. A bad water filter is
less desirable than pure water in its
natural state. When, therefore, filtra-
ton is employed because of real danger
of infection the filtered water should as
rule be boiled, as the entire absence
o; sediment and cloudinesS does not in
sure that the bacteria of disease have
not made their way through the filter.
The habitual drinking of boiled water
would insure escape from sickness and
death to thousands of the human race
yearly.-Medical Classics.

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.


Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence OF living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result Of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuf or an
ointment: both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-

A THREATENED FLOOD.
Tho Ohio River Shows the Effect of the
Prolonged Rainy Season.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 26.-All the elements of a
disastrous flood in the Ohio river seem to be
now present. Continuous wet weather has sat.
urated the earth so that the excessive rainfalls
of the past three or four days have all found
their outlet in the tributaries Of the river.
Along the entire valley of the Ohio the rain.
fall has been enormous. From the Kentucky
side Big Sandy river comes with boom almost
unparalleled, while Kanawha river further up
also pours out its swelling volume. The
Scioto. Hooking, Muskingum in Ohio, as
well as the two Miamis, keep the
river bed full, while rise is
coming down from headwaters The rise since
y m. yesterday for twenty-fours is over feet,
and the gauge now shows 49 feet 6 inches in
the channel. About 5 feet more will begin the
interference with railroad traffic and every
inch after that will increase that trouble, as
well as cause the elevation of great quantities
OF goods IN all the bottoms portion Of the CITY,
"A flood is inevitable. Its proportions depend
on the weather of the next few days.
Instead of the % degrees foretold Yesterday
for 8 am. the thermometer is above SO. and
all shrinkage from freezing is lost. II rain
should follow it will only increase the dimen-
slons OF tine coming food. There is already a
disturbance OF river navigation, as steamers
cannot pass under the suspension bridge. The
steamer Sherlock, for NewOrleans is compelled
to defer her departure until the water falls on
that account
At Hamilton, Ohio, the Big Miami was HIGHER
last night than it has been for ten wears. The
water had entered the Straub house, one of the
principal hotels, and many houses were SUBJ
merged IN part. In many places the heavy
rainfall was attended with high wind.

THE WORLDS FAIR BILL
The Name of Chicago Inserted-A Meet.
ing of the Committee.

The worlds fair was not so much the topic of
conversation on the floor this morning. Most
OF the members seemed rather wearied of the
subject. The general opinion prevailing
among members was that while the bill when
it comes up in the House would meet with con-
siderable opposition it would undoubtedly pass
by good majority. The New York and st.
Louis men disclaim any intention of voting
against the bill because Chicago was lucky or
smart enough to gain the prize. The thing
would be too apparent they say, and in all
honor they are bound to vote for the bill.
THE COMMITTEE MEETING.
The House worlds fair committee held a ses-
sion this morning, which a number of the Ili-
nois delegation attended. The name of Chicago
was inserted in the space left blank for the
site and the bill was then referred to a SUBJ
committee, composed of the chairman, Mr..
Gambler, and Messrs. Hit and Springer, to
make any change which may be thought neces-
sary.
The question whether the fair shall be con-
Quoted with a national or a state charter was
not touched on by the committee but will be
investigated by the subcommittee.
Mr.. Gambler thinks Chicago men should have
the bill fixed to suit them but is of the general
opinion that the bill as it stands answers the
purpose as well as possible.

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL AT FREDERICK
GEORGE CLARK HUNG.
Convicted on Circumstantial Evidence,
He Maintained He was Innocent.

WAYSEsBUne, Pa, Feb. 26.-George Clark
was hanged in the county Jail here at HOG
o'clock this morning. Clark passed bad
night and ate a very light breakfast The
hours preceding the execution were spent in
spiritual conversation. At the gallows he said:
I've nothing to say more than that
am innocent and pay. the pen
no ill feeling toward any one in this or any any
other country hope that God will forgive
me-" After prayer Clark kissed Rev. Mr. Max
we'll, the sheriff, his son. two physicians and
the executioner. The black cap was then ad-
justed, the rope placed about his neck and the
drop fell. Seyenty-fve persons witnessed the
execution. There were probably 5000 visitors
in town, but not the slightest indication of dis
turbance. The remains were taken charge Of
by Clarks brother and the funeral party will
pass the spot where McCausland was killed.
When Rev. Mr.. Maxwell called aud read q
chapter in the Bible this morning Clark claimed
he was not guilty and prayed earnestly that
God would yet make known the murderer of
William McCausland
The crime for which Clark was hanged was
the murder Of VIM. McCausland. a drover of
Allegheny City, on September le, 1887. Nc
Causland had left the steam boat on which he
was passenger at McCans Ferry, intent upon
the purchase Of cattle in Green county
About mile from the river in a ravine he was
fired on and killed. To make sure, the assas-
sins fired again and also crushed his skull with
a stone. The body was robbed of 1900
Eight persons were indicted for
completely iu the crime. Six of these
were Clarks. -Four of the prisoners were con-
victed. Benz. Clark confessed, duplicating Geo
Clark, Jas. Neff and Zachariah Taylor. Neff
was granted a new trial and acquitted. Taylor
is still In confinement. The evidence upon
which conviction was secured was circum-
