the cash. Taking Wilson into the inner
room he stretched him upon the table and
said he would put him to sleep. Concen-
trating his gaze upon Wilson's eyes, the
doctor in thirty seconds put the man ap-
parently into deep sleep. The patient could
converse, however, with ordinary huency.
Now" said the operator, 'you cannot
feel tho. least pain in your wounded
cheek, and when pierce tho edges of
the cash with this needle it does not hurt
you"

MEXICAN BRIGANDS.
Over Fifty Shot Within a Radius OF
Thirty Miles.


San Felipe. Mexico, is mining region,
about 1000 feet above the sea, and its great
elevation gives it a temperate climate,
though it is within the tropics. Just
now the attention of the Government ls
being directed to the suppression of almost
innumerable cases of brigandage and whole
sale highway robbery. The people seem pos
sessed of an almost irresistible tendency 70
form bandtti, and, under the pretenc,e
of engaging in a revolution, to pn-
lage small towns mining camps,
ranches, and any people they lind VIVID
yaluables and who are without means OF oe-
fence. The result is that, though there Is no
such penalty as capital punishment on tne
statute books of the nation, the men VINO are
proved guilty of these crimes very promptis
suffer the extreme penalty.
During the past five months "l1hln q
radius of thirty miles from that place, over
fifty men have met their death at the hands
either of the State or national soldiers.
The procedure is as follows: Those
suspectcd of committing acts OF
brigandage are taken before the near
est tribunal. and, if found guilty, are es,
corted by a squad of soldiers to some jail
Mt considerable distance from the
place of their arrest, under the plea that
it is necessary to take them a goooI
ways off for better security, At the
bugle call at sunrise or sunset they meet
their fate. The report invariably is that
they tried to escape, and were therefore shot.
The fact that brigands are so numerous
causes nearly every one to go armed, ana 10
show money or anything of value only with
caution.

MET DEATH UNDERGROUND.
Seven Miners Lose Their Lives at
Hurley, Wis.

Hurley, Wis.
Seven miners have been burned to death
in the Germania Mine at Hurley, Wis, and
the mine, valued at 81, 900, 600, ruined beyond
repair. The names of the dead minerf are
Hugh Waller, William Banks, James Sui
livan, James Thomas, Joseph Thomas and two
strangers, supposed to be visiting mine-own-
ers, who went down into the mine at a late
hour. Of the 400 employed in the mine,
all except these seven had warning
in time to get out. These were cut off
from any shaft by long Underlined drift,
burning 'fiercely. The Thomases, father and
son, tried to run the gauntlet of flame and
fell dead side by side, literally cooked, at the
bottom of the Shaft. The others remained
penned up, and though there was hope that
they might possibly escape up to 6 o'clock p.
M, at that hour they were given up as lost
and the mine sealed to smother the flames.
Hugh Waller performed an act of heroism
worthy of place in story. When the alarm
was first sounded, he, by hard work, managed
to get to the surface, badly burned. Then,
thinking of his men, he cried out, MY God
nv BOYS must be warned and saved" and
straightway went back to his death. The
bodies will never be recovered, as the fire,
past control, had burned all the timber-lining
throughout the mine.
