We do not want the public to con-

management and personal direction Of
that eminent physician, Mr.. Matthew

The Blair Institute does not use the
same treatment given by Kelley. It
kills NO one, neither does III produce

ment is harmless, leaves no bad effects
and is equally efficient, il not superior,
to the Double Chloride ofsGold treat
ment (whatever that is) of Kelley fame.
DIR. Blair is a physician Of ripe ex-
perience; he compounds his own medi-

his patients are taking, and has moth

"quacks in various Gold Cure estab-

ethics, by drenching patients with nos

harmless results. For full information

A boy and q Cow.

A letter from Kansas has surprising
story. It tells of a cow that, when she
had lost her calf, showed SO much sor-
row that it awakened the sympathy of
her owners 14-year-old son and he
showed her some slight kindness. The
grateful cow at once became fond of
him, watched for him as she would for
her calf, and since then she has shown
her pleasure whenever he comes near
her. Indeed, no one but this boy can
manage the poor animal, and wonder
full stories are told of her devotion for
him.
The Kansas papers say that lately
the boy had occasion to 60 to neigh
boring town, and as he remained away
until after milking time, his sister, not
daring to approach the COW in any other
way, decided to personate her brother.
So she put on suit of his clothes and
went into the barnyard. The girl sue
ceeded in deceiving the cow until the
boy was seen coming up the road, when
instantly the indignant animal kicked
the pail over and made a bound in the
direction OF the youth, showing minis.
taxable evidences of delight.

HAUNTS THE FELON.


Tho Jail at San Rafael, CAL, Disturbed
by Spectre.
Much speculation has been INDUCED
in during the last few days as to the
reason of Henry, alias ''Dutchy." Ba-
ker pleading guilty Of murder, writes q
San Rafael, Cal, correspondent. On the
preliminary examination the prepon-
derance of the evidence was in his
favor, and it is thought that no jury
would have found him guilty of muir
der. ManslaughteT would have been
about the extent of the verdict had the
case come to trial.
A reporter interviewed Baker in his
cell in the county Jail on the subject,
and was astonished to learn the real
reason Of his plea of guilty. Baker was
found pacing the corridor in front of
his cell. He presented a haggard and
worn appearance. On being asked his
reason for pleading guilty, when be-

would be likely to get a much lighter
sentence by standing trial, he said that
he would be willing to submit to most
any punishment in order to escape con-
finement in the Marion county jail. He
said that the place is haunted
every night about IL o'clock have
been awakened by noises of heavy
weights dropping on the concrete floors,
the rafting of chains, the slamming of
the iron doors and the steady tramp,
tramp Of some invisible spook. This
thing became unbearable to me, and
had not pleaded guilty would have
been insane before my trial was over ~
Inquiry in the sheriff's office was
not unsuccessful. A number Of pris-
oners confined in the Jail during the
past year have made similar complaints.
The first complaint made was about
one year ago. w. +. Argo, an ex-con-
vict arrested for burglary, made. an
attempt to escape by saving the iron
bars from his window His attempted
escape was discovered, and that same
evening he hanged himself in his cell.
Prisoners confined in the Jail at the
time declared that Argo made his ap-
pearance nightly thereafter.
When Baker first complained to the
sheriff Of the nightly visitant o deputy
was instructed to watch for any noe
turnal intruders. The first night of his
vigil he heard unmistahable sounds
proceeding from the tanks where Baker
was confined. An examination of the
cell revealed no cause for the strange
noises. The reputation the Jail has
gained on account of its spook is we'll
known among the tramp fraternity,
and they give it a very wide berth. A
threat to put one of them in the tank
will almost throw any of them into
Mysteries.
