DIR. Curry, president Of the board,
and Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson were APP
pointed COMMITTEES to wait on Mr..
Wilson, and formally apprise him Of
his election.
The action Of the trustees has been
talked Of for long time, and is d.
rectly in the line Of the suggestions
made BY DR.. Curry at the annual

other names had been mentioned in
connection with the presidency, it was
"a foregone conclusion that the gifted

and has displayed wonderful executive
ability. Heis practical and observant,

a WONDER WORKER,

Mr.. Frank Huffman, young man Of
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had eer
under the care of two prominent phys
clans, and used their treatment until
was not able to get around. They pro-
nounced his case to be consumption and
incurable. He was persuaded to try DR..
Kings New Medical Discovery for con-
sumption, coughs and colds and at that
time was not able to walk across the
street without resting. He found before
he had used half of dollar bottle, that he
was much better; he continued to use it
and is today enjoying good health. If
you have any throat, lung, or chest
trouble, secure bottle at once and give
it fair trial. We guarantee satisfaction.

might yield that he had gone TO the
cashier and asked him to change the
combination, so that now he did not
know it. When he told Cochran of the
change that individual had become very
angry and had ordered him to find out
the new series at once or take the conse-
quences.

and tell him the whole story" asked
Will.
Because they threatened to have the
note discounted in New York, and the
bank which cashed it would have held

Will jackson was silent, marveling in
his own soul that men could be so weak.

He says it is in New York, but he is

Win, can you get me out of this scrape?

Carries you will do it, won't you, Will?"
Eyes, for Carries sake" whispered
Win, pressing his arm against the side
where the picture rested.
Where does this man liver he asked
"He has rooms at II Milk street, and
you can always find him before H."
Long and earnestly the two men talked,
the one protesting again and again his
repentance and his resolve to lead bet
ter life, and the other counseling in
kindly fashion. At last they separated,
and Charlie, after seeing his brother-in-
law to his room, went to his own with a
lighter heart than he had known for
many day. May was awake, and be-
fore he slept he had told his wife the
story; but they were both happy, for was
not Will there2
In the mean time Will jackson threw
himself on his bed and lay there think
ing. 1t seemed to him that the cause
for the awful trial he had gone through
was so pitiful, SO mean! He could see
the men together, foolish Charlie excited
with wine and full of miserable bravado,
while the Others sat there and lured him
into their net. And then, little cour-
age, little open dealing, and he would
have been left with his oath to his coun-
try unbroken. But he was there to
save, and through the silence of the
night he seemed to hear dead girls

After breakfast Will jackson walked
down town, and reaching Milk street,
rang the bell at No. II. From a man
who opened the door he found out where
Mr.. Cochran's rooms were, and saying
he had business with that person walked
upstairs, and knocked at the door. A
sleepy voice called out, "Come in!' and
passing through the door Will jackson
locked it behind him. The man in the
bed sat up at this and stared. Will
walked over to him, and drawing a re-
volyer covered him with it.

Cochran looked at his visitor, and as
he looked it seemed to him that Will
Jackson's eyes blazed with constrained,
reprexed ferocity in their deep sockets.
He shuddered as he looked.
"I-I know nothing" he stammered,
involuntarily shrinking away from those
awful eyes.

Charlie Farnham broke down. He
flung himself on his knees beside Will
and with the latter's arm around him
brokenly told his story. He had one
evening at the club, when he was with
Cochran, written the signature Of Mr..
Floyd, the president Of the bank in
which 10 was teller, on a piece Of
paper. The paper was blank at the
time, and he had done this thing more to
show he could than anything else. He
had no thought of harm, and had for

afterward, when Cochran had shown j.

The signature on the back was as

An unusual offer
the one that's made by the propri.
etors of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
Unusual, but made in good faith.
It's reward of $500 for an incura-
bic case of Catarrh. If you have
one, the moneys for you. But you
can't know whether you have one,
till you've tried DR.. Sage's Remedy.
What's incurable by any other
means, yields to that. By its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, it cures the worst cases,
no matter of how long standing.
That's the reason the money can be
offered. There's q risk about it, to
be sure. But it's so small that the
proprietors are willing to take it.
The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis.
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath; smell
and taste impaired, and general
debility. Only a few of these
symptoms likely to be present at
once.

Shoshone Journal.
A short time ago some fellow came
along here with a cock and bull
story about large jewelry house in
Dubuque, Iowa, being robbed of about
fifty thousand dollars worth of
diamonds and jewelry that the rob-
bers finding themselves pursued by
detectives concluded to bury their
plumber and that they did bury it
wear the pump house in Shoshone;
that one of the robbers recently died
and, on his death bed stated where
the jewelry and diamonds were
concealed, and located the spot about
forty feet east of the old dug out
near the pump house.
Several of our enterprising citizens
bit at the bait and with shovels. picks
and scrapers began systematic
search for the hidden treasure. The
ground in the vicinity of the pump
house has been honeycombed and the
numerous prospect holes remind one
OF new mining camp. But up to
date no one has found the plumber.
