This great book has sold for years
at $40 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I64xII3 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots Of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn' t
afford SIC and kept asking for the
old "Harpers Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce
But the big history was SO inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so com
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 26 big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice superintendent paper-better
than ever before-and has hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part
The parts have sold as high as ST
each, but can be got for only s cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers Of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

BULLET IN BRAIN.
Continued from LIST page. ]

Kdbreth arrived at the Sawyer house. He
was requested, viii other phy.i isns, to
make an examination of the body. I'VE
made osy fssts examination in the.
barn. OF aiming the head carefully We
founl a small opening in the upper lip, just
b, low the nostrils, apparently made by
bullet. Upon passing probe through this
opening We found that it passed below the
floor Of the nasal cavity AID above the hard
palate, pas,i 3 through this TO the brain 10
tie direction Of the cerebellum. That
closed our first examination.
THE body was then removed to the house.
A portion Of the skull was removed, and
the brain examined. 1t was found that the
bullet had passed through the superior
msxillary, above the hard palate and be-
meath the floor of the nasal cavity. 1t
D .ssed beneath the ceretrum nearly hsri-
zontally, entered the cerebellum, and WAS
8 opped by the pO.tcrior portion OF the
SKULL. -
DR.. Blake identified the bullet and added:
sThis was found in the cerebelium.
slightly to the left of the median line. We
found the powder blown into the face on
both sides. This indicAt that the pistol
was held very close to the face at the time
of discharge and the direction of the bullet,
being so nearly horizontal, Indicated that 1t
must also have been held ut the level OF the
face. The wound would cause almost in
stantaneous death"
Doctors NJ. o. Edwards and Z ?. Mar
aton, who were associated with DR.. Blake
in the autopsy, corroborated his testimony.
The verolct of tie jury was in substance
that the deceased came TO his death from
the effects of shot from revolver in the
hands of party, or parties, unknown.
This cold blood,d murder is certainly
shrouded in mystery, and there appears to
be no clue to the perpetrator. Whether
the assassin lay in wait for his victim, shot
him in cold blood and then searched
the house for the money he sup
posed TO be there, whether it
was the hot work Of some tramp dis
turbed in his evening slumbers, or the deed
of some unknown enemy, actuated by mo-
tives Of revenge, are mere matters of con-
lecture. Certainly robbery appears to lie
the most reasonable bypotne,is tor explaiL-
ing this shocking tragedy.
The officials msy be depended upon to
do their best to ferret out the perpetrator
of this crime, and it is to be hoped that ,hei
efforts may be crowned with success
Certainly it must go on record as one of thu
most unprovoked and cruel murders ever
C committed in this county.

THEIR FUNDAMENTAL xEaKNEsS.
PETER Exposes The Point and Hale His Nail
on the Head.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The Senate took
up the tariff bill, the pending question be-
ing the first item in schedule &, "Metals
and manufacturer of iron anil steel" plac-
ing iron ore on the dutiable list at 40 cents
ton. PETER offered free iron ore amend
ment. Vest said large majority of the
Democratic senators be lieved that iron OF e
shUul be on the free list.
eff nls jorIty of Democratic senators, y
said Hale. "favcr having iron ore on the
free list, how does it happen that the finance
committee reports here duty on iron ore?''
Vest repeated that it was necessary to
make concessions to a small portion of the
Democratic senators who believed in some
duty on iron ore.
PETER asked if this 40 cents ton duty
on iron ore was not yielded at the request
of persons who favored it for protection
alone,
Vest replied that whe ther this was a pro-
tective duty or not depended upon the
amount of revenue that must be raised for
the government. In his judgment, this
duty on iron ore was, under the present
conditions, revenue duty.
PETER remarked: eff the proposed duty
on iron ore is protective duty, we v ill
duI tliC cdiuC PiluSlpdi dfpASu " "ooi.
Hale said PETER had penetrated the fun
damental weakness under which the Demo-
cratic tide was labo-ipg. Mr.. Vest knew
we'll that with sugar tax and an Income
tax there would be surplus in the treasury,
therefore the proposed duty on irol ore
could not be revenue duty, but was pro-
tective duty.
Vest replied with much acerbity to Hale,
who had made, he said, bitter and malig-
nant speech.
At IIale's suggestion vote was taken on
PETERS amendment to put iron ore on the
free let. The amendment was rejected,
yeas, 4; Senators Allen, Hill, Kyle and
PETER nays, 4G. Plat renewed his amend
ment to increase the 40 cents ton on iron
ore to 60 cents and made speech on it.
Plat had not concluded his remarks when
Il G Senate adjourned.
