AFTER THIRTY-TWo YEARS.
Watch Which Quantrell Lost While Pur-
sued by Federal Troops IL Found.


sued by Federal Troops Is Found.
Independence, Mo-, Dec. S.-A very
interesting relic, interesting from the
historic relations of the man who once
owned it, was found on the farm Of
Ink Hicklin at Greenwood, near Lees
Summit, few weeks ago. 1t is the
watch once carried by the famous ren-
egade, Charles Quantrcll, and lost Jy
him on Mr.. Hicklin's farm thirty-two
years ago. Quantrell and his band were
riding through the country, pursued by
the federal troops at the time the
watch was lost, and while hunting for
it Quantrell barely escaped being cap
tured. The day after 1t was lost Guam
trell returned, and with Mr.. Ink Hick-
lin, now living on the farm upon which
failed to find it. The watch lay there
for thirty-two years and was picked up
by the man who had helped its owner
look for 1t, when the owners bones
had been dust for many years and his
daring and heartless deeds almost for
gotten, save for the blot on the scroll
of history.
Why Quantrell should risk being cap
tured to search for the watch Is puz-
zling question; certainly not because
of Its intrinsic value, as the case is of
brass-at one time plated. 1t Is a
hunting case and closed together well,
for the wheels are almost intact, after
all the years it has been exposed to the
elements.
The name "Charles Quantrelr' is
rudely cut on the inner side of the
back cover of the case and looks as
if 1t had been done with pocket knife.
That the watch Is genuine Daniel VIII
liams of Greenwood will swear for he
saw Quantrell cut the name on the
case. The watch belongs to Jack At
kins, a jeweler at Greenwood, and 1t
was when he poured some acid on 1t
to find what it was made of that the
name was made legible. All the old
settlers in the neighborhood where 1t
was lost and found remember the cir
cumstances of Quantrell losing his
watch

LAST year only about twelve per
cent of American exports was carried
in American vessels, the shippers OF
the United States paying foreign ship
owners 5000, 100000 annually for
freight charges and passenger fares.
There is no reason in the nature OF
things why Americans should not do
their own carrying and save this $780,
100000. They did it for many years
and in the good times coming they
will do it again. and not improbably

A THIEF THWARTED.
Grabs . Handful of Valuable Rings In
Denver JewrIry Store.


Denver, Dec. 8-A desperate attempt
was made about $50 last evening to
rob the jewelry store of p. A. Wagner.
No. ia Seventeenth street. Only by the
alertneSs and presence Of mind Of q
clerk in the store, and the quickness
with which Officer Clark used his re-
volver, were gems to the value Of hun
dreds of dollars saved and the thief
landed in Jail.
There were two clerks in the store
about 6:3O, when a respectfully dressed
man Of middle age entered. He asked
to be shown some stone rings, and one
clerk laid tray of costly diamonds.
opals, amethysts and rubies before
him. The man examined some of the
jewels, asked one or two questions,
and then grabbing handful he ran to
the door, intending to escape with the
property.
But before he was over the threshold,
Wagner, who attended him, was at his
heels. He seized the thief by the
shoulder, jerked him back into the
store, and then shut and locked tho
door.
Upon seeing that he was trapped, the
robber coolly handed back the rings,
and with laugh explained to the clerk
that he was only joking when he took
the rings. The clerk failed to see the
joke. Instead of joining in the laugh
of the jewel-snatcher, he sent out after
Officer Clark and gave the prisoner iu-
to his charge.
Clark took the man to the nearest
patrol box, Seventeenth and Stout
streets, but while unlocking the door
for the Purpose of calling the wagon,
the prisoner took advantage of this d.
version to make his escape. Clark pur-
sued him for block, calling upon him
to halt. The escaped man paid no at
tention to the calls, and, fearing he
would get away, the officer pulled his
revolver and shot twice into the air.
The reports brought officer Chandler
running up Sixteenth street, and at
Champa the thief ran into his arms.
This time he did not get away. He
gave his name as Fred Smith at the
city Jail and was locked up on a charge
of larceny. The police believe Smith
is an experienced crook. The chase
and the revolver shots caused much ex-
element and gathered big crowd on
the streets.

How Men and Women Run Great
Risks During the SUNNI n In the
Way They Are Clothed.
Few'people think at this time Of the year OF
the great Importance Of dress
In the winter people dress warmly because
they know IL is necessity, but in the sNg1ss
mer, when 1t is hot, they go to the other ex-
treme aud even dress too lightly. Hot weather
causes people to use light clothing; but sud-
denly the wind changes. the air becomes
chilly, and cold is pretty certain to be- the
result. II a.
Now, where most people make mistake ID
in not guarding against these sudden changes
quickly aud III time. Any man OF womAii
who has OH light suit OF clothing, and feels
a change which brings chill. should at once
counteract the chill. THIS can only be done
by the use of some pure stimulant not GIN
gers or hot drinks but pure medicinal whia-
key that will refresh the system. cause The
blood to circulate. and bring about immedf-
ate reaction. There is but one mediciAal
whiskey that will do this. and that is Duffy's:
Pure Malt. 1t has for twenty years accom-
plished what has never been known before
IN counteracting the first symptoms Of sud-
den colds and preventing the possibility of
pneumonia fevers and all the distressing
COMPLAINTS which follow any cold.
It should be remembered. however, that
Duffy s Pure Malt Is the only whiskey which
will certainly accomplish this and however
much dealers may talk to the contrary Il
alone should be taken.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 24.-The

dent Carnot brings tine world face to
face with universal problem Of
the time: Shall the regulation of
society by sysiematized government
prevail or shall the dIsaffection OF the
turbulent-minued be allowed to build
an era of terrorism upon the slim
foundation OF individual discomfort.
The spirit which neIved the arm
OF Carnot's assassin Is harbored
In one form or another in every land

in every nation under the guise of per-
sonal liberty. It Is encouraged by the
cowardice OF piace-seekers. 1t is the
coparcener Of demagagues. and is the
incentive of every crime against law
anu order.
The Times: The assassination of
President Carnot yesterday was one of
those inexplicable atrocities that sur
pass understanding. A man of liberal
ideas, humane impulses and generous
practices. his life has not been of
nature to incite enmities or provoke
resentments. OF all public men in Eu-
rope he was the last one who would
have been thought OF as victim for an
assassin. But his death at the hands of
the miScreant who struck the fatal blow
Is another proof that anarchism IS as
unreasonable as 1t Is unjust and cruel.

The Loss a Terrible One for the
French Republic.
Francis G. Boucher, who since 1885
has been French consul in st. Paul,
had not heard OF the assassination OF
President Carnot. He was 10th to
believe the story. and sat for some mo-
ments in dazed condition, when in-
formed of the cabled news.
'.Well,' said he. France has suf-
fered terrible loss. President Carnot

do you fear revolation?" was
asked.
8"No. there will be no revolution.
The French republic is too firmly
founded now to be upset. But fear
that the country will have difficulty in
finding a man who will be 80 satisfac-
tory TO the people as Carnot has been.
Carnot was one OF the broadcast men in
Europe. He was Conservative Re-
publican Of the most mastery type.
His whole thought was for the best IN
terests of the people OF France. He
administered his Office with SO much
dignity. justice and power that he held
in complete submission all the volatile
elements and commanded respect from
all outside the ranks of insane anarchy.
He occupied deep place even in the
hearts of the remnants Of the old fami-
lies of monarchy. However, there are
still strong men in France; men who
will maintain the government by the
people. This has all come upon me SO
suddenly that l can scarcely think, and
it is difficult to give you an intelligent
interview. The national election of
France comes next November, and
without doubt Carnot would have
been elected to succeed himself. VINO
will succeed him is now difficult TO
forecast. However, there are two very
strong men in the ministry at present,
one of whom will probably be elected
president. NJ. Dupuy, who was made
premier some three weeks ago to sue
coed M.Perier. is Republican of rather
more radical tendencies than Garnet;

Venice is unique among the cities OF Europe
both in its history and its conformation. AS
early as the fifth century the veneti, expelled
by the Lombards from Padua. settled upon the
lagoons Of the Adriasic, and in the ninth cen
fury began the building Of Venice upon piles on
and among the serenty-two islands upon which
the city now stands Through 1t winds for two
miles the Grand canal, spanned by the Rialto.
Architecture, painting sculpture reached their
highest point of development here and pepu-.
lar government also found Judgment and had
one of its early experimental stages in Venice,
This will account in most minds for the high
development OF its industries. among which
are its famous glass, laces, silks, velvets and
tapestries.
The use Of the gondola as means of trans
portation. neeessitsted by its waterways, was
made the subject OF art treatment in O charac-
teriStic way by the Venetians, and the result
was practical craft which is at the same time
unequaled for grace beauty and harmony with
its architectural environments Formerly i'm

ton and decoration, but three centuries ago
this was forbidden and since then their hues
