In reading over the literary items of
the week, found not much to interest
me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed "Jenks' Drcdm.' Imag-
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
a Recommendation TO use DIR. Fierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
q great sufferer from sick headache, l
determined to try them, and, to my great
Joy, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, a complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
eathartic, according to size of dose.
AS pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.
Cause no gripping or sickness. Best
Liver Pill ever made. Smallest. Cheap
est, Easiest to take. For Constipation,
Indigestion and Bilious Attacks, they
have no equal.

WAS THERE A GHOST ON BoARof
Remarkable Performance of an Engine
at Jacksonville, Ills.

JACKSONVILLE, Ills, Oct. 3d. Late
Tuesday night a Waterman and three
other employees of the Jacksonville and
South eastern railway saw one of the big
LOGON olives glide out of the roundhouse,
cross the { rntable, and start down the
main line. They ran after it, but it was
going so fast that they did not try to
board it. When the main line was
reached the engine whistled and disap-
peared down the track at terrific speed.
What the Railway Men Believe.
Pizgah was wired to clear the track. A
north bound freight was sidetracked as
the wild engine came in view and stopped.
They saw no one get off, and when
they jumped on board the throttle was
found closed and steam was up sufficient
to run twenty miles further. The engine
ran the twelve miles in ten minutes. The
railroad men believe that the ghost Of an
engineer recently killed on the road was
in the cab. 1t was his favorite engine.

landing at Milliken's Bend shortly
after o'clock, and had mot pro-
ceeded far down stream before
the cry of fire was raised. Instantly
panic prevailed. The passengers, who
numbered over 300, both cabin and deck.
rushed around in their nightclothes and
many, headless of the cold, seeing that
the boat was rapidly being envelyped in
flames, jumped into the river and swan
ashore or went down.
Fifteen Known To Be Lost.
Besides large number Of cabin passen-
gers there were over 200 deck hands on
board. The deckies were on their way to
work on the levees south of Vicksburg.

property. The list of the lost as furnished

wegian is made up as follows: Two

The pilot stood to his post like hero
and the boat was headed for the Louisi-
ana shore, getting near enough to permit
many of the unfortunates to escape with
their lives. There were numerous acts of
heroism. The cotton aboard floated out
into the stream and was the means Of
saving many lives.

All Avenues of Escape Quickly Cut Of
The Mates Heroism.
The deck Waterman first discovered the
fire, which broke out amidship, and is
supposed to have been caused by deck
passenger smoking, as it was far away
from the furnace. The names spread with
fearful rapidity, there being 100 bales of
cotton on board, and it soon cut off all
avenues of escape toward the shore for
those aft except by jumping into the
river. Many escaped by the bow. but the
most threw themselves overheard. Some
were picked up by the yawl which an en-
gineer had launched; others foated on
bales of cotton or swan ashore, but many
were lost.

MILWAUKEE, l,:t 30.-More light has
been thrown on the mystery surrounding
the sudden refusal OF Judge Siebecker to
try the suit to recover interest from ex-
State Treasurer Harshaw by public
statement from ex-Congressman LaFol-
lette His statement agrees with that OF
Senator Sawyer, printed in these dis
patches two days ago. down to the point
where it is stated that Sawyer agreed to
LaFollette's suggestion that it would not
do for LaFollette to accept retainer in
the case, as he was brother-in-law OF
Judge Siebecker He assured Sawyer, so
he says, that Siebecker was a fair-minded
man, and would try the case on Its mer

The Charge Against Sawyer.
Then, according to LaFollette, Sawyer
SAID: "These cases are awful important
to us in the state, and we cannot afford to
lose them. 1t costs me lots of anxiety. l
don't want to have to pay manning $780,
600 or more, Mr.. LaFollette is not certainl.
Now came down to see you alone. No

to go into court, but here is $50 will give
you $500 more or 81, 900 Mr.. LaFollette is
uncertain which he saidl when Siebecker
decides the case right"
The Proposition an Insult.
LaFollette says he Immediately told
Sawyer that if he had struck him in the
face he would not insult him as he insulted
him then; that he (Sawyer) was endeavor-
ing to get him to talk to the judge about
the case off the bench, and that he had not
money emo ugh to employ him as an attor-
ney after what had transpired. LaFol-

consideration, and on the advice of personal
friends called the attention of the court to

Cork Exhibitions of Home Rule Worry
the Leaders.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-A meeting of Liberal
leaders is talked of to take some steps to
put an end to the exhibition in Ireland,
which is causing great harm to the home
rule cause in England, and seriously
menacing the prospects of the Liberal
party. The fighting at Cork is denounced
on all sides as the most disgraceful occur
renee at an election in the United King
dom for many years past. 1t is feared
that even worse is coming before the poll
ing day, as Cork advices say that both
factions are worked up to the highest
pitch of evaporation. John Dillon is
suffering great pain in his knee. DIR.
Tanner has nothing worse than the mark
OF mans teeth on his nose, Parnellite
having attempted to lunch on that organ

The language used was much more bit
ter than at the first Kilkenny election.
One prominent Parnellite expressed fer
vent purpose to dine on Canon O'Mahon-
ey's heart, during the struggle Wednesday
night, but was inter- upted in his dietetic
arrangements by about pound of mud,
well aimed, which lodged in his throat
and nearly strangled him. An excited
McCarthyite shouted his intention to
make Jack O'Connor bite the dust, or
rather the mud but Jack seized the fellow
in his Samson grip and shook him like a
rat. OF the men wounded in the affrays
of the past three days it is feared that
several may die.

Quay gave check for 5000 for campaign
expenses. This check was discounted

as high as any man so far as integrity was
concerned. Quay says he had nothing to

THE PINE RIDGE INDIANS.

Letter Received at the Indian Office from
Capt. Charles q. Penney, Acting Agent
at Pine Ridge Agency-The Indians
Hearts are Bad Yet.
WASHINGTON, April 1a.-The Indian
Office yesterday received a long letter
from Capt Charles G.. Penney, acting
Indian agent at the Pine Ridge agency.
in which he gives his views regarding
the condition of the Indians at Pine
Ridge. He says that there is a general
feeling of unrest among the Indians due
to bad faith on the part of the govern
ment and of the almost total failure of
their crops. SO far as legislation goes
the other causes of trouble have been
made right, but as the Indian sees it, it
is only another promise, which seems
to inspire hope among them. The COM
ing of Special Agent Cooper he says, is
having a most excellent effect. The
general effect of the recent out
break, however, upon the minds of
the Indians has been bad. The
severe losses suffered by them, and the
destruction of life which ensued has
made their hearts bitter and sore.
''They are generally no less inclined to
be turbulent" he says, land the mem
DRY of the loss of kinsfolk, friends and
fellow tribesmen ranl1les in their hearts,
and is an ever-present source of discon-
tent which may break out-will break
out, whenever the needed spark is APP
piled"
Capt Penney says that the first step
to insure peace and quiet upon the
reservation would be to let the delega-
ticn selected by Gen. Miles last winter
go to Washington again, to have Gen.
Miles with them. and to speak unre-
strained and freely to the president and
Secretary Noble. He says the police
force is demoralized and well-nigh use
less. The rations given the Indians are
ample, but they do not know the ele-
ment of economy in preparing their
food
