torially of q popular patent medicine: "We
know from experience that Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy is all
that is claimed for it, as on two occasions it
stopped e~xcruciating pains and possibly saw
ed us from an untimely grave. We would
not rest easy over night without it in the

KIDNAPPING CASE.

Laredo, Tex, Feb. 9.-The case
OF the state of Texas vs. Anto-
Mo Magnon ct al, charged with
kidnapping one Atalarta Mata,
was called for trail in the dis
trict court Of Webb county last
Wednesday morning, which oc-
cupied the day in the selection
Of q .jary. Before going into
trail Magaon claimed a,seyer-
ance, and Salazo, who asjeint
ly indicted for the same ofense,
was first placed on trail, which
IS now in progress. This, case is
one Of considerable Importance,
as during the preliminary ex-
animation, facts were brought
out which implicated Mexican
officials as acting in concert
with the defendants on Sept
ember Is last in kidnapping a
Mexican soldier who had de-
serted to this side of the river,
during which examination the
United States Consul, General
Donnelly Of New Laredo, took
an active part in causing Cap
tain Hernandez and three ru-
rales under him to be arrested
by the Mexican authorities,
who were afterward sent to
Monterey to appear before a
military court martial. This
case is progressing slowly, as
there arc many witnesses on
both sides.

and that now occupies a similar
post Of honor in the home of a New
York woman famous for her good
taste in hric abr c. The body of the
time keeper is porcelain, upheld on
four gilt legs and delicately decorat
ed in trailing garlands Of spring
flowers. In this case the face Of the
little clock is the delight and admira
tion of all behol ers. 1t is made of
heavy parchment, charmingly paint

honrs go by, from flower to flower
fit two golden bees, making the
circuit in the time of the oriin lry
hands of clock, though no hands
appear, the position of the bees
marking the time. At first glance
the mechanism that moves the in
sects seems most mysterious, until
it is explained that the bee in reality
are steel, heavily SiIded on the back,
and that beneath the parchment
face move small hands, each form
ing magnet that carry the bees
from point to point With neyer-faiI-
