women in a pleasant strain OF
aDDreciation. Here it is:
'I will sing you a song of a wonderful
land,
Where the wheclwomen doesu tex1st'
Where the girl that you love IS as child

As the girl your grandfather kissed.
Where the bloomer's don't bloom, and
the skirts don't divide,I
And the maiden don't box Or make bets;

VICTIM.
The Coroner's Jury at the in
quest held over the body Of J. B
Bonner, who was murdered anc
robbed last week at Aurora
Beaufort county, N. c., has ren
dered a verdict that the deceased
came to his death by pistol ball:
fired by Dave Credle, Urlah Bell
Sheriff. Bell and VIM. Brantly
Jr,, or one of them They were
at once securely tied and hurried
away to Jail OH one of the steam
ers which run from Aurora tc
Washington.
1t seemed at first that there
was no clue, but on close exam
ination the tracks of two of them
were found where they crossed
the field. The tracks showed
that one was lame, and the other
had on shoes, both for the same
foot Brantly was known to be
lame and Credle was his chum
and upon a warrant sworn out
by Moses Fowler, of Washington
a detective, they were arrested.
The circumstances all pointed
to their guilt. an! Tuesday
Credle told all, duplicating the
Bell boys. They had all been
working i'll the woods, logging,
and at night they organized
themselves into a band of rob-
bers. They all took an oath to
kill and rob and never tell.
Credle says Uriah Bell was made
captain and all had to obey his
orders. A few weeks ago two
stores were robbed. Credle says
Uriah Bell worked all hour on
one of the safes and could not
open it, and heard some noise
and ran away. They had four
more on what they called their
black list, with John Bonner at
the head
They had the life of Jessee
James, which was to be their
guide, and they boast of reading
it through many times. Credle
is the oldest, about IS, native
of Hyde county; Brantly is II, a
native and citizen of that con-
munity; Uriah Bell is 20; Sher-
rill Bell is about 10; both are
from Hyde county, but have
been in Beaufort county several
years. They are nepheWs CT the
Wahabs, of Hyde. All are single
men, except Brantly who has a
wife.
Credle says Brantly, Sherrell
Bell and himself went down be-
low Bonner's house and sat for
him; that Uriah Bell was to fol-
low behind Bonner whistllng
which was a sign; says they
knocked him down and threw
him over the fence and then shot
him, one Of them keeping his
mouth closed. Credle had no
pistol. Brantly and young Bell
shot him. Credle and Bell then
took everything from his pockets.
The Bell boys went back down
the street, while the other two
crossed the field and went to
Brantly's house, where they all
met and divided the spoils.
Credle says his hands were bloody
and he washed them at Brantly's s
house, Brantly's wife holding
down the window curtain to
keep anyone from seeing. He
also says she took the oath with
them all. Uriah Bell has been
at work for Bonner for a year OF
| more, but was discharged some
time ago.
This all came about from read
ing lessee James. "
This closes up this terrible
tragedy for the present and che
people think they are blessed Dy
being rid of such a gang.

So much has been heard recently Of
the success Of Paine's celery compound
in curing the sick in California and GER
tain other western states that the Re
public of st. Louis publishes a series Of
lettrs showing what wondrous good
Paine's celery compound is doing in

Few men are better known in Mis-

whom is above printed, and no one is
more highly respected. No ordinary
medicine could effect a cure like the one
in his case, and his experience has
made great impression throughout
Missouri.

compound" he writes. Il was suffer-

Shark Lore from Hawaii.

A tiger shark was caught recently
off the coast OF Maine, near kaanapali.
Inside it were eighteen little sharks,
about two feet long. This ovovivipar
Gus characteristic of some species OF
sharks has probably given rise to many
OF the Hawaiian supers,:tions about
these monsters of the sea. Some yeafs
ago monster female shark was caught
near the island of Kauai. Inside of her
were found fifty-two young sharks,
each of them about two feet long. 1t
is not known to many that the terrible
teeth of the shark are flexible and. a.
the will of the fish, lie fat in rows. SO
that no teeth are apparent As it APP
pears that the female protects her
young by opening her mouth and per-
hitting them to run into her body. il
is evident that the power to lay the
teeth down on fiat surface Is a pro-
vision of nature by which the young
sharks can be taken in and out OF the
body without being injured by the
teeth Pacific Commercial Advertiser.

Paine's celery compound brings rest
full sleep to the sleepless and gives
strength to the weak and nervous. Mrs.
]. A. Durvil of Monett, is one of the
hundreds whom this pure compound
has restored to health and happiness.
Her statement is:
II suffered with my nerves for eigh-
teen months. 1 could not get a night
of natural sleep. and took all the medi-
cines that l heard of, and tried all of
the doctors, but to no use. 1 was final
ly persuaded TO give Paine's celery
compound a trial, and now. after using

enough in praise of this medicine and
what it has done for me-
And there are literally thousands
more st. Louisians and people in other
cities and towns in the state who tes-
tify to the great good Paine's celery
compound has done them. 1t is in
deed the remedy of remedies. IL makes
people well. II is the one perfect brain
and nerve food. the one perfect restorer
of healthy blood, the one remedy that

II is not a patent medicine, a sarsa-

superior to them all as the diamond is
to ordinary glass. Try 1t now.
