Another of Patrick's Victims Dead.

FORT SMITH. Dec, 21.-Another vic- tim of young Patrick's deadly revolver was buried yesterday afternoon, Mrs. John Hendricks, who received the sec- ond shot from Patrick's weapon, dying Tuesday night. The bullet had passed through her lungs, going through her body and coming out at her back Mrs. Hendricks fingered for more than twenty-four hours after receiving the fatal wound, and hopes were en- tertained that she might recover, but the wound was a fatal one. This is the third of the four persons shot by young Patrick who have died, includ- ing himself. Mrs. Garret, who was wounded in the arm, is in precari- ous condition, and it is thought her arm will have to be amputated to save her life.

Woke Up the Wrong Passenger,

LEADvILLE, Col, Dec. 26.-Two masked men went to the telephone office last night and knocked at the door which was opened by Harry Ap- lin, the night operator. When he saw who was there he started to throw the fellows out. The scuff1e which ensued aroused Frank Messereau, who was sleeping next door. He jumped up and rushed into the room, when one of the men took a shot at him, but missed Messereau then secured. the gun and gave the fellow who had shot at him an unmerciful beating, but both men succeeded in escaping. The telephone men fired at them as they left, but did not hit them. The hold-ups evidently expected to get large sum of money in the safe.

WINDOW DRAPERiES.
The Adaptability and Picturesqueness of
 Dotted Swiss.


 A lady seeking advice from an au- thority in such matters as to how she should curtain the windows of her new house (some forty-fve in alD received the unhesitating answer: Use dotted Swiss," and the charming effect result ing proved the wisdom of the selection.
 This delicate material seems to be more popular for window curtains than ever before, and the reason undoubted ly lies in its adapta bility, for it is suit ed alike to the cottage and the more pretentious dwelling, being not too fine for the one nor too simple for the other The more sheer the goods, the better the effect will be, however, and by far the best finish for curtains of this sort is full ruffled trimming of plain Swiss about three inches in width. By sewing tiny cord in nsone edge of the ruffie, and gathering up at the same time, it may easily be secured to the selvedge edge of the curtain either by hand or by machine.
 Ruffied bands of the Swiss or cords and tassels of white cotton are the most suitable for draping. A new way of hanging Swiss curtains is particu larly adapted to low windows. For a window four and a half or five feet high full valance eleven inches deep when finished is used. the goods taken lengthwise to avoid seam. This should be trimmed at the edge with ruffies or lace The lower curtains are supplied with small brass curtain rings which slip easily on brass rod set just below the valance, the ad- vantage of this arrangement being, aside from its picturesqueness, that the curtains may be drawn at will to act as screen. They are not draped, and look best when pushed to one side into space of about ten or twelve inches. For a six-foot window the valance may be thirteen inches deep and in both cases the curtains should come just to the window frame. .-Harper's Bazar.

 The bandits are supposed to be a remnan@ of the Starr gang and to have been led by Jim Wooten, who led the raid on the Mound Valley bank.
 Every passenger on the train from the smoker to the sleeper was robbed by the leader while his comrades on the outside kept up fusillAde with their Winchesters. Quite large amount Of booty was secured. The train was held about an hour and a half. After completing their work the bandits mounted their horses and rode off and the train continued on its way to For. Smith.
 A posse was organized and is in pur- suit. 1t is probable that fight will ensue if they catch up with the rob bers.
 Superintendent Fuller, of the Pacific Express Co. when seen said that the package secured by the robbers from the expr ass car did not contain money. It is supposed to have been some cheap jewelry which was shipped from St Louis

The Bandits All Yong Men.

VISITA. l.. T. Dec. 25.-The five or six train robbers who held up the south bound express and passenger tTgip on the Kansas & Arkansas Valley road at Seminole station, nine miles south of Coffeyville, Kas., last night, were all young men. They were dressed like , cowboys, wearing top-boots and broad brimmed hats The gang is believed to be the same that attempted to hold up passenger train on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas road last Friday even ing at Kelso switch. Bob Rogers and Charley Wolf are thought to be the leaders of the bandits. The gang has operated in the northern portion of the Indian territory for the past year, ter rorizing the entire community. One of the gang was killed by officers last July, and another is now serving a term in the penitentiary for larceny.
 Marshal Crufnp of the western dis trict of Arkansas has telegraphed his deputies stationed in thls part of the territory to spare no pains to capture the desperadoes. Deputy Marshal Brunner left this city last night with a strong posse for the scene of the hold-up.
 Every effort will be made to effect the apprehension of the robbers, but as they have friends in the country who keep them posted of the move ments of officers.
 It is not known how much booty was secured, but it is known that it was considerable. The mail and express cars were rified of their contents and every passenger on the train was re- lieved of everything of value he or she had.

Catarrh, Not Local, But Constitutional.

DR.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston
physician, in a magazine article says:
"A radical error underlies nearly all
medical treatment of catarrh. II is not
a disease of the man 8 nose: 1t is a dis
ease.of the man, showing itself in the
nose-a local exhibition of a constitu-
tional trouble" Therefore he argues,
the use OF snuff and other local appli-
cations is wrong, and while they seem
to give temporary relief, they really do
more harm than good. Other leading
authorities agree with DR.. Lewis
Hence the only proper method of cure
for catarrh is by taking a constitutional
remedy like Hood s Sarsaparilla, which
reaching every part OF the body through
the blood, does eliminate all impurities
and makes the whole mar healthier.
II removes the cause OF the trouble and
restores the diseased membrane to
proper condition That this is the prac
tical result is proven by thousands Of
people who have been cured OF catarrh
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.
