Leon W. Lozicr, q foot racer. who
is well known in tri-city sporting
circles. came within an ace OF being
strung up by mob ut Council Bluffs
the other night. All that saved him
rs the telegraph states. was the
prompt and determined action of the
officials. The mob to the number Of
about 1900 surrounded the Jail. and
demanded that the prisoner be hand
cd over to them in order that they
might make short shrift Of him. The
officials. however, stood their ground
and saved the city the Odium Of u
lynching. He had committed the
iiienous crime Of assaulting . little
5-year old girl. and legal hanging
would have been only too good for
him. The Davenport Times says:
Lozier will be remembered here as
. trick foot racer. who could not be
depended upon. His last appearance
here will be recalled BY Moline sports
who put up job to fleece Davenport
tiers and were themselves the vic
Tins Of the scheme. Since then Lo-
zicr has not been heard Of much in
this vicinity.

THE DREAD DISEASE.
A simple Natural Remedy Proposed for
Diphtheria.

Diphtheria.
a writer in the Cedar Rapids Ga
zette says that he has had some ex-
rericnce with diphtheria, and being
urged by several friends to give his
experience and treatment of the dis
ease. does SO, with the hope that his
experience may be in some sort use
full, not only to the medical profess
sion, but to the general public.
He says: MY first serious trouble
with diphtheria was in St. Charles,
MINI. The disease was known to
the local physicians as ..black diph-
theria," and as in every case the
greatest trouble was in getting rid
of the false membrane. After trying
the several agents generally pre-
scribed, l determined to try pincap-
pie juice. / had known from bitter
experience in my boyhood days the
results of trying to eat a pineapple
without sugar. and in after life made
several experiments with the juice of
a ripe pineapple. 1 had some eN-
pressed to me. and after having cut
the pineapple into small pieces with
out pairing the fruit, l pressed out
the juice and gave it in from one.
half to two teaspoonsful every hour
until there was no further need of it.
As preventative I generally gave
one to ounces of the fruit to be eaten
without sugar four or five times a
day. Sugar destroys the valuable
acid, and renders the juice useless.
Tho Digestive Properties.
Should anyone doubt the digestive
properties of the pineapple let him
express some of the juice and then
immense it in a piece Of tough bee
and keep it at temperature of 80 t.
So degrees. The results will show
that pePsin and papoid are valueless
compared with 1t. As n matter o.
course physician is always needed
in diphtheria. but aided with freshl,
prepared pineapple juice feel con
WINGED that the disease will be easil,
mastered.

PERNAMBUco, Dec. %. = After more
than a weeks delay the Nictheroy's
reshipment difficulties seem to be over,
and she will probably leave for the south
tomorrow. She has about 160 OF the
original crew on board and also'200 Bra
zilians. The Nictheroy and America
left st. Thomas December Sd. Decem-
Der 10th Ceafa was sighted. A steamer
started from the port, headed Tor the
Nlctheroy. The pipe OF the boatswain
rang through the ship, calling all hands
to quarters, and soon every gun was cast
loose and manned and ready to turn
upon the vessel if she should prove to
be an enemy. A small boat soon came
alongside and proved to be pilot sent
out by the Brazilian authorities TO bring
the Nicthoroy in. Tuesday morning the
Nicthoroy steamed away once more and
reached Pernambuco in 48 hours. Off
cials OF the government came aboard and
had discussion with Captain Baker
and Lieutenant Hill asking that both
officers and men should prepare scale
OF pay, such as they would require to
induce them to reship in the Brazilian
navy. They were also to state tor now
long they were willing to enlist. Imme-
diately afterwards the crew were told
they would receive $500 bounty and $l00
per month if they chose to reship. Fifty
men left the ship, and IS no communi-
cation is now allowed with the ship it is
supposed all on board signed.
The situation at Pernambuco ia hard
to define. There are 80 many conflict
ing stories that no one can reach the
truth. One paper has been suppressed,
and the other three don't dare to say
much. Thursday last, party OF 80
soldiers was sent to arrest Conetantin
Rogiberto, a prominent man living in
the interior of this state, known to be
disaffected. He fortified his house,
which is located on an almost inaccessi-
BILE hill, and defended himselffuriously,
with the result that all the soldiers
were killed or captured. Reinforce
ments have been sent out and another
fight is expected.
The great question here is the where
abouts of the Aquidaban. 1t is firmly
believed here that Mello. hearing of the
reshipment difficulties, is hurrying
north for fight, while his secret friends
here. many of whom are in high
positions. will delay the Nictheroy all
they can ior his sake.

struction OF the liberal arts building,
in which was stored large portion
of the foreign goods exhibited at
the fair. The loss on these goods will
cause serious uneasiness in many parts
OF the world, and is a great misfortune
for several reasons. The chief virtue
of monster exhibition is not to get its
fair burned. 1t owes so much to the
generous sacrifice of those who con-
tribute to it, that it is under peculiar
