The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and baffied the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. 1t is among the most
disgusting ills flesh is heir to. and the
records show very few cases of radical
cure of chronic catarrh by any of the
many modes of treatment until the intro
duction of Ely's Cream Balm. The sue
cess of this preparation has been most
surprising. No druggist is without it.

Joseph II. Choate is responsible for the

that place on last Monday, while he was
seated in his room at the hotel, the clerk
raped on the door and informed him
that there was a gentleman at the desk
who wanted to see him on some business.
AS he was frequently called out in that
way he requested the clerk to show the
party into the ROOM which was done On
entering the room the stranger introduced
himself as Elijah Thompson, who was
looking for a former partner of his named
Ernest Naeger, and on learning that a
party by that name was stopping at the
hotel he called to see If it was his friend
He however, saw that Yaeger was not his
partner, and during the conversation that
ensued between them Thompson produced

that Ormy Emanuel Gonzalez would not

Ernest Naeger to come on and take charge

Washington, Dec. 1.-The corps Of pages
IN the House of Representatives are the

congress. OF the thirty-three youths who
answer TO their roll-call. thirty-two are
straight democrats-that is. they were APP

members Of congress. and consequently
they must step down and out on the ith

complexion. so are the pages. The clean
sweep Of November has left these ambi-
tious young politicians in the dust pile.
The one republican page. whose appoint
ment was a courteous concession OF the
democratic House TO the republican mi
nority. has had rather a hard row to hoe
the past two years. but his lane has
reached a beautiful turning and his smil-
ing features plainly Indicate that ne con-
siders that he who laughs last has de

Like the duly elected members of the
House, the pages represent all sections OF
the country. They are appointed by the
dOOrkeeper OF the House in Difference TO
the requests OF members of congress. As
there are upwards of $50 members and but
thirty-three pages. the appointments nat
urally fall TO the ruling party In the House.

SHOT HIS SWEETHEART.
Terrible Murder of Pretty Girl


Terrible Murder Of a Pretty Girl
in Boston.
BosTON, Mass, Feb. 2.-Walter John
soil, Swede thirty years of aye, shot
and killed Miss Carrie l.. Andrews and
then himself III this city today. Shortly
before noon today the occupants Of the
Warren building. at 40. 2 Park street.
were startled by hearing four shots in
rapid succession, which seemed to
come from the fourth floor of the build
ing. Upon investigation it was found
that murder and suicide, and attempt
to murder had been perpetrated in one
OF the apartments Oh the fourth floor,
which is spaTtially occupied by Miss
Clara Munger, a teacher OF music. The
victim was Miss Carrie l.. Andrews,
of Essex, who had come to this city
to take her music lesson. She was
found with hole i'll her chest and an
other in her left temple, and close be-
side her was the murderer, Walter
Johnson of Gloucester, who, few min
utes before, had entered the room with
Miss Andrews, and was going to wait for
her until she had finished her lesson. In
addition to having shot himself twice
with the revolver Johnson had cut his
wrist with razor. JanitOr NJ unro, who
was on the floor Of the place at the time
of the TRACED on hearing the shots ran
TO the room, which he found was locked
from the inside. He attempted to force
the door when bullet came WhlzZing
through the panel of the door, grazing
his shoulder, and embedded Itself in the
wall opposite the door. On an eXamin-
alton Of the murderer'S pockets
batch Of letters were found, which
gave the cause of the dreadful tragedy.
1t was learned that Johnson had been
engaged to Miss Andrews for the past
two years, against the better judgment
OF her parents, who were of the opinion
that johnson was not the man who
would make their daughter happy.
They finally induced their daughter to
break The engagement. Some of the
letters were written during the month
Of January, and all of them begged
johnson to keep away from Essex,
life, and hoping that i'll the future
the engagement might be renewed.
The letters were signed "Caddie
Low" Miss Andrews was about
seventeen years of age. 1t is
learned that after the breaking of the
engagement between the two Johnson
entered proceedings against Miss An
drews for breach Of promise, and it was
only yesterday afternoon that he called
OH his lawyer. A. NJ. Donohue, of Glou-
cester, and said he was going to shoot
the girl. Donohue attached but little
Importance to the threat at the
time. but after johnson persisted in
making the threat ne thought it would
be matter of precaution to advise
Charles II. Andrews, of Gloucester. an
uncle of the girl. Mr.. Andrews, going
at once to the city marshal and repeat
ing what the lawyer had told him, and
requested that johnson be locked up.
The city marshal refused to do this
| until evidence of the threats had been
given more than the remarks of client
| to his lawyer.

Fraudulent Patent Attorney and
Broker Sent Up.

Fraudulent Patent Attorney and
Broker Sent Up.
KEoKUK, To-, Feb. 3.-After being
out three hours. the jury in the case
against w. A. Bell, on trial in the fed
eral court, brought in a verdict of guilty
on all three counts this afternoon. Bell
conducted fraudulent patent at
torney and brokerage business at
Sgourney, 10. The government
regarded the case of importance
equal to the bond investment case re-
Gently tried in Chicago.as it is to estab-
lish a precedent for dealing with many
similar fraudulent businesses through
out the country. The instructions of
Judge Woolson paid particular atten-
ton to the question of proof of mailing
the letter. He said: "In my judg-
ment it is not necessary under
the law that the government
prove the manual act of de-
posting letters in the poStoffice. The
government in city like Keokuk, for
the convenience of the public, has dis
tributed throughout the city letter
boxes in which those desirous OF using
the mails are invited to deposit their
letters. 1t is improbable that the gov
ernment could prove by direct testi-
mouy the manual act of depOsiting any
certain letter i'll one of these letter
boxes"
He said the same was true in towns
not having free delivery, where letters
were dropped through a slit in the post
Office door. Congress does not require
an impossibility of either the citizen or
the government. We may safely pre-
sumo that if 1t be impracticable to prove
the manual act of depositing letter in
the postoffice, the law does not require
such proof"

In certain house. where the people
love nature so well that no drapery

are usually rolled to their highest limit,
il is observed that the women all look
old. But at night, when all the soft
lights shine out from under their shades
of pink and yellow, they are young and

another house, where the women look
their best i'll the daytime and where the
light is sofIened by shades and be coming

night electric lights, under the globes
that can hardly be called artistic, glare

COUGHLEA'S CASE.
Examination OF John p. Kunze as
to What He Knew Of Coughlin.

Examination of John p. Kunze as
to What He Knew of Coughlin.
CHICAGO. Feb. 3.-The -Coughlln case
opened todayowith John P. Kunze on
the stand. The preliminary emamina-
ton of the former defendant related to
his birth and early life. Determined
OBJ ection from the prosecution pre-
vented an inquiry into his life previous
TO his coming to Chicago.
John, when did you first meet Dan
Coughlln?" asked Judge Wing.
''In the fall of 1888. met CoughIin
at he East Chicago station," replied
the little German.
"Tell about that"
81 was working at the Schufeldt dis
tillery, aud when the explosion there
occurred, Capt. Setback sent for me to
come to the station. There l met
Coughlin in his Office, and was put to
work with him on the explosion case
That was in November or December
l saw him again in the spring of 1889,
and gave him some papers and tele-
grams"
In answer to questions. Kunze then
stated that he had never known Wood
ruff, Cooney or Guinea, or Martin
Burke.
Kunze told of his arrest and was fire.
quently interrupted by objections from
the prosecution. Finally Judge Wing,
for the defense, was compelled to
divulge the object of the questioning.
1--WE wish to show" he said, ''that
Police Capt. Schuettler the chief officer
for the prosecution i'll this case, tried to
get kunze to swear falsely"
kunZe was then allowed to proceed,
and his next few sentences developed
sensation.
AFTER my arrest they took me over
to a dirty, nasty cell in the Halsted
street station, and SchuettIer came to
see me there"
He said would have to swear that
drove Coughlin to the Carlson cottage
OH the night of May 4. If said that |
would get off. and if didn't would be
hung. That's what he said. [ told him
| would not swear to that, and lie put
me down and called me vile name."
Kunze was asked If he was in Me
mann's saloon with Coughlin and
OSulliyan on the night of May 4.
mo. was not," he replied. 81 was
on the South side all that night"
The crOss-eXamination failed to de-
velop anything new, and John Piemmer-
ling was called to the stand. He is a
plaster contractor. and said he is ac-
quainted with Mrs. Hoertel, as her hus-
band often worked for him. He stated
that he would not believe Mrs. Hoertel
under oath. At the conclusion of his
testimony, court adjourned until Mon
day.
