DENVER, Col, Aug. s.-Joe X. Will

has made full confession, duplicating
q number OF other men whom he
claims assisted him in tarring and
feathering Adjt.-Gen. Tarsney at
Colorado Springs several weeks ago
He is now here In the county Jail. His
confession was made on the train en-
route 10 this city.
Every detail OF the tar and feathers
affair Is now In possession of the Dem
yer officers. and however high posi-
ton the offenders may hold, they will
ultimately be brought 70 justice. VIII
sons confession clearly illustrates one
point That Is that the crime was
committed by the political enemies OF
/ Gen Tarsney and that the criminals
were not the outcasts of the Bull Hill
army, but men Of higher standing In
the community.

murderer out OF the FL Paso county
Jail was allowed 10 put tar and feath-
ers on the adjutant general, and that
among the main movers in the move
ment were Sheriff Bowers. Deputy

man In Bowers army would be shipped

and freely discussed in the sheriffs of

After Tarsney was secured and
joined the riding party quiet was
changed TO tumult and IL looked as Il
the adjutant general had not much
longer To live. He was even told
that his time had come and h,
was going TO die. They proposed
killing him by first chopping his
head off and then quarterinl
him with n large and keen butcher
knife, the edge OF which he was asISeC

A Health commiss!oner's Advice-How to
Prevent Attacks.

A Health Commissgoner's Adyice-iow to
Prevent Attacks.
The great prevalence of attacks OF
cholera morbus or cramps during pro-
tracted hot SPELLS" said health com
missioner recently, renders timely
little advice about the first treatment
of such cases when they occur.
First send for a doctor. But there
are remedies which, administered in
the commencement ofthe attack, give
relief, and all the physician has To do
Is 20 give mild corrective for the
stomach.
Camphor water is the simplest and
most easily used remedy. teaspoon
full may be taken by an adult and re-
peated every fifteen minutes until the
doctor arrives Children must be
given smaller doses in proportion 10
their age. As water can take up only
limited quantity of camphor, no harm
Is likely 20 come from the free use OF
this remedy.
Paregoric is another simple remedy
and may be used in doses of from one
half 10 one teaspoonful for adults, re-
peated every half hour. The Opium
in this preparation makes necessary
more care In its use by those who are
not physicians.
In addition 10 the remedy taken the
sufferer should remain quiet aud the
stomach should be given rest from
I food or cold liquids. The latter should
\ especially be avoided, as intensely ir-
ritating To the stomach in its disturbed
1 condition.
Cholera morbus generally results
/ from eating unripe fruit or from some
article Of food only partly or improper
ly cooked Many eases, not caused APP
parently by indiscretion in eating, are
due TO sudden changes in temperature,
or exposure TO draughts. Persons seek
the coolest spot possible, and the GUS
tomnry light clothing worn is no pro-
lection TO the stomach and bowels,
which seem especially susceptible TO
temperature influences at this session
of the year. A catarrhal condition Is
the result, much the same as one has a
cold in the head in winter time.
As preventives care should he taken
in eating and drinking, draughts
should be avoiden, and the stomach
region should be protected from sud
den changes from heat To cold The
services OF physician are generally
needed even after the acute stage OF
cholera morbus TO assist the restora'
tion of the stomach 20 its normal con
dition Baltimore sun.

Not many years ago the South Caro-

thousands throughout the southern
states. but with the bison and the pas
senger pigeon they have been nearly
exterminated by the ruthless hand OF
the pot-huntor. w. A. Conllin, in New
York had small flock Of these birds.
In speaking OF them he said they were
caught in the Everglades, where a few
flocks may yet be found in the denscst
part OF those swamps. Probably some
four or five fioclSs remain, so that they
are rarely seen. The birds are large
for paroqucts. being OF an emerald
green body, with yellow neck, while
the upper part OF the hend is a bright
scarlet. One popularity of these birds
l. that they cluster together like a
swarm OF bees. II was this habit that
made them such easy victims of the
sportsman-sa the term. This pecul.
iarity can be well noticed in ConlSlin's
cages. where the birds all cluster to-
