It is Supposed that D1OonshInerS Carried
 Out . Throat.
 PTTsRURa, April 1.-John Hochstetler, of Somerset, Pa, was undoubtedly mur. dered near Trent postof1ce, fifteen miles from Somerset, by moonshiners.
 A young man named Beals, while on his way to his sisters house, while trav- cling along a lonely spot on the road near Trent, saw two men in ambush fire upon 8 man a short distance away. The man fell and the two men proceeded to knock their victim on the head with guns. Young Beal fled from the spot and took another route to his sisters home. On arriving there he told the story of what he had witnessed on the road. A party is now searching for the murderers.
 Some months ago, at Scranton, John Hochstetler testified against moonshiners of this county. The mOonshiners' com panions threatened to kill him and, as he went to Trent Wednesday and has not been seen since, 1t is believed they carried out their threats and threw the body in 8 creek.

THE CAPRI GIRL.
How Capri Women Are So Health,


 The Women of Capri are the healthest in the world. The secrtt of their wonderful vigor is work, plain diet and constant life in the open air. Nerves are unknown"
 Women of our own country nave injured their
 rrves by warD' diet and shut-up, indoor fe Thousands feel just ready to drop from nervous weakness. It is what makes so many nervous, tired, languid, without energy or ambition. They have headache, stomach trouble, kidney and liver complaints, constipated bowels, head ache, palpltation, poor blood, etc, which are caused by weakened nerves and nervous pros tratlon.
 The Grip also, has left as an after effect, more weakened and shattered nerves and more phy- sical debility and pros ration than any other known epidemic.
 These difficulties are always increased and greatly aggravated in spring, by that Spring De. bllity which SO weakens and enervates us all. B 1t all these troubles are curabe by he great { mic and re toratve for women, Dr Grecne's Nervura. perfect condition of nerve vigor and strength always follows it's use, and thus women can secure as strong nerves and vigorous health as those of Capri No woman should fail to use Dr Greene's Ncrvura in spring, if she wishes to keep strong and healthy.

A SCENE IN CHURCH.
A Funny Episode That Spoiled the Effect

A Funny Episode That Spoiled the Effect
 of tho Sermon.
 A large yellow dog, homeless and owne rless tramp, looked in at the open door of a village church in Florida, one Sunday afternoon. His practiced eye soon discov cred gourd tucked away in one corner, and in it a good two inches of ID ilk, the remains of luncheon which a W oman had brought for her baby This he procee ded to make his own. But he had hardly begun opera tions before the owner of the gourd de- tected him. Reaching out her foot as quietly as possible, she gave him a gentle push.
 The dogs nose was already in the opening as far as it would comfortably go, and at the gentle touch of the woman's foot in went his head, ears and all
 Naturally he was disconcerted, and attempted to free himself. But though his head had gone in, it would not come out He began to back; the gourd backed, too. He raised his head and swung it from side to side; the milk poured out in little rivulets, but the gourd was firm He backed to one side. and then to the other. He swung around in a circle, and battered his head against the floor; the gourd re- mained with him.
 The boys hid behind their books, and stuffed their hands into their mouths, and the girls were divided between 6 desire to laugh and an almost uncon' trollable impulse to scream.
 The gourd and the dog were so nearly of color as to make it difficult to tell where one left off and the other began.
 It happened that this Sunday was the day on which the pastor delivered his annual address to the children. He was stern, unbending man; he thoroughly believed that all children were born wicked, and were to be treated accord. ingly. He was talking to-day about iniquity of levity on the Sab bath. and his sharp eyes were not slow | to detect the unusual disorder. He l paused Q moment, and then exclaimed in laundering tones, Children, has the evil one got among you2''

Joseph LYtle, Who Hacked Hia Wife and
 Daughters. 1ynehod by 1Eob.
 FMDLAY, O., April 1.-Joseph Lytle, the man who Wednesday hacked his wife and two daughters in . horrible manner, was taken from the county jail here at midn1ght by mob of nearly 1000 de termined men and hanged.
 The mob broke in the windows of the Jail, but were unable to reach Lytle'a cell by that route, and finally the doors were broken open and Lytle was taken to the bridge, about two squares away, the bridge.
 Just as he was being pulled up a shot from revolver rang out on the night air and the rope was shot in two, drop ping the victim to the ground. He was then hurriedly taken to the nearest tele- graph pole where the lynchinR was com pleted, Lytle dying without Q struggle.
 As the mob entered the jail Lytle called their attention to the cell he was occupying as the one they were looking for. It took thirty minutes to batter down the cell door, when the doomed man was dragged out and thence to the Main street bridge. After the first at tempt was made to hang Lytle he was dragged by the neck through the street to the fatal telegraph pole. Shots from two score revOlvers were fired into the hfeless body.
 The mob is said to have been composed of the best citizens, but poorly organized and lacking 8 leader. The body was not taken down until the arrival of the Cor oner, which was not for several hours.
 Lytle displayed great gameness and seemed to be satisfied that he was meet ing with justice.

The little town Of Donaueschingen,
perched high in the invigorating air of the
Black Forest, has been arbitrarily desig-
mated the source of the Danube. The
prince who owns most of the land in the
neighborhood has built an ornamental
stone basin for a very powerful spring that
gushes out close to his palace and has
erected portentous slab, notifying all the
world that this is the genuine source of
the greatest of European streams, that it
is $50 kilometers 20 the Black sea and 67s
meters above tide water
| ventured to point out to an intelligent
Black Forester who stood with me by this
monument that the real source Of the
Danube was higher up, but he regarded
my statement as outrageous. "Gott in

official statement cut in the stone. What

FIour Made of shavings.

adulterated -four is said to have been in
vented in Delaware, the invention being
simply pulverized wood. The white beech
trees are used, as the wood of the beech is
colorless, favorless, hard and dry. The
bark is peeled off, the logs placed upon a
carriage which forces them against cut
ting machine shaped much like pencil
sharpener, except that it has five or six
knives instead of one.
These knives revofve at the rate of 200
revolutions a minute, and the great log is
soon a mass of fine shavings. After these
shavings are thoroughly dried they are

Halifax.

The evil repute of Halifax implied in
the adage go to HalifaxP came to it by
inheritance from Halifax in Yorkshire,
England. Halifax law, as may be gathered
from a letter Of Lord Leicester quoted by
Motley, was that criminals should be 'con-
demned first and inquired upon after
ward"
Halifax lay within the forest of Hard
wick, where the law was that if felon
was taken with 1875 pence worth of stolen
goods he should be tried by four firth bur
gers from four of the precinct towns, and
il condemned by them be hanged the next
day. After this proceeding had been car
ried out to the letter the case might be
sent to a jury.
Halifax is also credited with being the
home Of the guillotine, which the regent,
Earl Morton, introduced into Scotland
only to have his own head chopped of
with it.-St Louis Republic.

said; kin you make hair dyer"

would cost twenty cents bottle full and
that it would do good job

why People Began to Sit When Eatin

Why People Began to Sit When Eating.
1t seems not to be precisely known when
it became habitual to sit at table Among
the first men it was customary to recline
in a circle or to place themselves in half
sitting posture about the repast, whether
it was an animal roasted over the fire or
caldron containing food cooked by boil
ing. Seats for kings or mobiles were com
mon among the Assyrians, Egyptians and
Hebrews, but persons of inferior rank, or
even lords themselves, sprawled on carpets
or on the bare ground. The Greeks re-
clined at their meals, and for the rest of
the time reclined, sat or lounged, accord
ing as they found one posture more agree
able than another or their occupations
permitted.
The Romans followed the same custom,
though benches and chairs were probably
more numerous among them. What were
the customs in this respect of the Romans
who colonized and whose descendants oc-
cupied the countries now called France
and Spain, we do not precisely know, but
| it is reasonable to suppose that the habit
of sitting at meals or elsewhere in the
house became general on account of the
severity of the climate and the different
architectural conditions in which the PEG
pie lived. 1t was certainly more natural
| to recline IN a climate that permitted life
to be largely passed in rooms open to the
weather OF in the open air, than in build
ings damp and cold in winter, where con
tact with the floor was particularly to be
ayoided.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Will Clear Today

The German bark Standard will
clear today from the port of New
Whatcom for bort or Dortrecht, Hol-
land direct, with 1,OO2,O 900 feet of lum-
Der from the Cornwall mill. 1t seems
strange that a port 50 near the
famous lumber regions Of the Baltic
should send 50 far as Puget Sound for a
cargo of lumber. But an examination
of the cargo explains sthe mystery. 1t
is composed of plank from l6 to AS
inches in width, for use in the govern
ment ship yards. No other lumber
region of the world could supply such a
cargo.
