DR.. A. b. Conklin, who so mysteri
ously disappeared from his home in
Cassopolis on the night of Sept. I'd, re
turned Oct 1S, considerably the worse
for the treatment he had received, but
better than a dozen dead men. In an
interview with the Cassopolis Democrat
the doctor tells IL remarkable story of
his abduction, imprisonment, and final
release.
On the evening in question he was
bound and gagged by two negroes in
his office, put in two-seated buggy
and driven all night, bringing up at
small house on a by-road occupied by
colored family Here he was guarded
by the two negroes until the following
Saturday night. He was then again
driven all night, to the outskirts of some
village or city, and put in the custody
of two white men. At this stopping
place his mustache was cut off and his
coat and hat changed. Here he was held
until Friday night, Sept. 14th, when he
was ordered into buggy and another
all-nght's drive made, and for two days
himself and guards kept concealed in a
deep ravine i'm dense wood Sunday
night, Sept 10th, he was again driven
several hours to a house in an out of the
way place, where he was kept nearly
two weeks, during all this time never
seeing his keepers faces, as they wore
masks at all times when in his pres
ence 1t was during this time that the
doctor lost track of the day of the week
and month. For the ten days preceding
his release he was kept out of doors in
the woods most of the time, and the
last two nights he slept in straw
stack.
Early on Wednesday morning of last
week the doctor was told by his guard
that he was at liberty TO GO whefc he
pleased. He at once struck off through
piece of timber in an effort to follow
the man, but soon lost sight of him,
and when he came to a highway he fol
lowed it 10 a house. Here he inquired
where he was, and was told he was
about twelve miles from Cincinnati. He
walked in to that city and pawned his
watch for money enough to pay his
fare home.
During his captivity he was repeat
edly told by his captors and guards that
no harm should come To him unless he
made an attempt to escape, but that it
was necessary that he be kept out of
Michigan for while.
On arriving at Cassopolis the doctor
found that his family, having given him
up as dead, had removed to Manches-
ter, this state. to which place he imme-
diately proceeded, his wife having been
notified by telegram of his safety.
A few days ago IA package came to
Cassopolis by express from Cincinnati,
addressed to Mrs. Conklin, which con-
tanned the clothing taken from the
doctor by his captors. His pocket med
icine case, hypodermic syringe and sew
eral other small articles were in the
pockets of the coat.
The doctors statements are credited
by the people of Cassopolis.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to
gethsr and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies and by con-
stantly failing to cure 1t with local treatment
pronounced 1t incurable Science has proved
catarrh to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by +. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken inter lalIy in doses from 10drops to
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case 1t
fails to cure. Send for circulars ann testi-
monials. Address

Facetionsly the Baltimore Telegram says:

rdcetiOnSly tne DdltiInOIt letegTum says.
They say, That time is money; but Just
now we would rather have money.
That appearances are deceitful, but dis
appearances are still more so.
That we should do lovely things, not
dream of them all day long.
That when the question is legally settled
that women may vote they won't want to.
That he who does not find other people
entertaining is never entertaining himself.
That aerial navigation is on the wing and
we may be able soon to take ''fy" to
Europe.
That when a minister pr0nounces a man
and woman one it is hard to decide which is
that one.
That man who always wears flower in
his buttonhole has tender heart and clear
conscience.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you often weep alone"
Tie usual treatment of catarrh is very un-
satisfactory as thousands can testify. Prop.
er local treatment is positively necessary to
success, but many, if not most of the rem
edles in general use afford but temporary
relief. A cure certainly cannot be expected
from snuffs, powders, douches and washes
Ely's Cream Balm, which is so highly COM
mended, is remedy which combines the
important requisites of quick action, spe-
cific curative power, with perfect safety and
pleasantness to the patient. The druggists
all sell ii.
Probably there is no one old enough to be
interested in the question "What women
make the best wives?" who has not some
personal ideas on the subject; but whatever
our ideas on any topic may be, it is always
interesting to know the opinions of other
people especially if they are "brainy"--on
the same matter. In Den,orest'S Fanl.Jy
Magazine for June the vital question about
good wives is discussed by Susan B. Antho-
ny, Clara Louise Kellogg, Mrs. Ballington
Booth, Mrs. A. M. Palmer, Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, Ellen Batelle Dietrich and others,
all qualified by experience or judicous OBJ
servation to give opinions worthy of careful
attention, and every opinion given bears the
individuality of the author and is we'll worth
reading. The stories are excellent; 'sThe
Summer Care of House Plants" furnishes
important hints to those interested in fori-
culture; "Ant Stories" and the "Puzzles"
will! afford amusements for the children; all
the numerous departments are overlooking
with valuable and interesting information,
while the fine illustrations count up into the
hundreds. Every issue of Demorest's Mag
ozsne is replete with good things, and is

The Truth Leaking Out.

There appears to be no doubt that
plus on it's hands as the result of the
operations Of the new law during the
first year. Most of the estimates of rev.
enue which have heretofore been made
have taken no account of increased inn
portations. The treasury officials believe
that these will be very heavy during
July, August and September, and that
the customs receipts are likely to exceed
for those months what they were in the
prosperous months of 1899 under the
higher duties of the Mckinley law"
The above from the special Washing
ton correspondent of The Journal Of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin is
confirmatory of what we stated only a
few weeks ago. In making their "esti-
mates Of revenue" it has OF course not
been desirable for the free traders to
draw any attention to increased i'm
portations. The less said upon that
subject the better. They will undoubt-
eddy exceed anything we have known
for very many years. 1t is well to re-
member, too, that every dollars worth
of these increased importations" that
may be sold in this country means COR
respondingly smaller sales Of similar
American goods made by American Ia
Dor, and the smaller the sale of Ameri-
can goods the smaller will be the de-
mand for American labor. There will
be q large surplus of revenue in the
treasury vaults, but no surplus, or even
sufficiency, of revenue for the working
people. American Economist.
