A LIVING WONDER.

AIr. Burns Was DIangled, Repaired and
Reconstructed.
George Burns, former engineer on
the steamer Savannah of the Inman
Line, was arrested in the hallway of the
City Hall this morning Mr. Burns, who
is a respectable man, was supposed to be
drunk, but at private hearing he told
Judge Ball that he was under the infu-
ence of medicine In many respects Mr..
Burns Is a remarkable man. He was
chief engineer for thirteen years
on an Inman steamer. When the
Savannah was dashed to pieces on the
rocks he was thrown into the machinery
and badly mangled. His head is
trepanned with silver plate, which ex-
tends from ear to ear and covers the
forehead His leg was broken in four
places, and in the calf of his right leg
there is foreign substance, which en-
tered at the time of the accident. His
internal organs are so distorted from
their natural condition and place that the
heart beats on the right side and can be
easily heard when the ear is placed
against the right breast. All the ribs on
one side were shattered and had to be
taken out. In the right thigh there is
no bone and in his right elbow there ap-
pears to be no joint when you feel mis-
arm. When he works his jaw the silver
plate which extends TO the jaw snaps
audibly.
Mr.. Burns was imprisoned for several
months in the Libby Prison. A number
of prominent physicians of this country
have pronounced Mr. Burns to be living
wonder. After the hearing, Mr.. Burns
was told to rest himself in the chiefs
room and that he was at liberty to 20
when he pleased. Mr.. Burns is a native
of Birmingham, England, and is on his
way TO Washington.

SHENANDOAH lis described as a'military

perfect illusion Of war without recourse
to the demonstrative and sensational
ertifces which mark the conventions
melodramatic exploitation Of that sub

pleasantness with a firm hand, and inter
twines sentiment with facts, lovers with

WHAT TAKES THEM OFF?
The Alarming Increase Of Pneumonia and

1ne Alarming Increase OF Pneumonia and
What 1t Means-"The Stitch in Time"
Scarcely day passes that one does not hear
OF men and women whom we picture as the
perfection OF heslth and strength, beirg
stricken down by she terrible disease, pneu-
monis.
Perhaps the greatest cause of pneumonia in
this country is the extreme difference in tenn
perature between the interiors of offices and
homes and the outside air. So long as people
consider it necessary for their comfort TO main
tain hot-house temperature indoors, when the
mercury is very low outside, 20 long will pneu-
Inonia find victims.
The greatest care and prompt measures should
be taken upon the first approach of the slightest
symptoms of pneumonia. If you have tick
ling in the throat. tightness in the chest a
pain in the head, q chilly feeling, or pains
bring about an immediate reaction. This can
sometimes be accomplished by quick and vio-
lent exercise, but that is exhaustlng and wastes
the strength, which should be huSbanded. A
far better plan is to take a pure and strong
which will tend to eQuali5e the cir
cuiation, check congestion and restore to
health. There are many forms of stimulation,
but only one that can be recommended-that is
Duhys Pure Malt Whisky. This is the only
medicinal, whisky upon the market snd its
purity and power are proven by its popularity.
1t has saved the lives of more men and. women
who were candidates for pneumonia than any
discovery of modern science, and it stands. as It
deserves to stand, at the head of medicna
stlmulants of the present day.

KANSAS City, November 20th.-SecTetary
Blair of the Cherokee rip Live Stock As
ISOLATION is in the city, end tells a startling
story of ruin and desolation now in order

Improvements is placed at half million
dollars.

Stoller, one of the tenants, to day, for the
non-psyment of rent, the Judge instructed
the jury to find for plaintiff, declaring that
the Associations lease with the Indians is
valid, and declared the Indians to be the
owners of the strip.
The Association will now sue the United
States Government for damages in sum
aggregating millions of dollars.
