the case to the jury for the prosecution.
II would be, shown, II was said that II was
the common practice Of the prison guards
to indulge in card playing with their charges.
The federal prisoners were given special
privileges and used to drink beer with the
very keepers who allowed them to escape.
Warden Rade he said, allowed this because
the federal prisoners were his boarders and
paid him sl5 week apiece for their privil-
eyes. Among these privileges was indulgence
IN card playing and the warden, 1t was
claimed, took advantage Of his authority to
see that his own losses were small. The
sheriff had been notified, MIR. Weeks said,
that the scandalous practices were going
on at the Jail and that rumors were in cir
cuation that an attempt was being made
to release the prisoners, and yet, not even
then was anything done to guard against
such an occurrence.

Brooding over the Loss of Child
Thomght to Hnyc Mndc Him Insnne.

Thought to Have Made Him Insane.
James Jacoby, an expressman, living at 636
Bluff street, Is missing and his wife and
friends are much worried. fearing that he has
committed suicide. About two or three
months ago he lost child. to whom he was
very much attached, and has been brooding
over the loss ever since. He was continually
talking about the little one, and talked so
strangely that his family feared he might be-
come deranged. Tuesday afternoon about
o'clock he sent his team back to the stable
by one of his men and started down street.
He said nothing as to his intention of going
away but he has not been seen since.
His wife reported the matter to the police
yesterday afternoon and turned over to Chief
Scanlan a note which she had found In the
house addressed to her from her husband.
In IL he stated that he had become a victim
of the gambling habit and that so long as the
city authorities permitted gambling to run on
it was impossible for him to keep away from
1t. He told her that the next time she saw
his body 1t would be brought UP from the
bottom of the Missouri river. He went away
with his working clothes on wearing brown
duck overcoat black cap and gray trousers.
His under coat was found lying in the bottom
of the wagon, so that 1t is not believed that
he went far.
Jacoby Is quartermaster OF Abe Lincoln

stated on reliable authority that he Is short in
his accounts to that organization. General

quested the postmaster to be sure 1t was
delivered to the right person. which led

THE BARS OF HEALTH

once down, disease finds an easy en-
trance.
If there is a weak spot in the body, dis
ease-germs will find it. They will lodge
right in that spot and unless they are
driven out at once, will increase and
multiply and grow into seriousness.
Weakness is a predisposition to disease.
Whether the weakness be local or gem
eral, it is dangerous. Good healthy
strength all over the body is the best
safeguard against disease. Debility of
any kind is direct invitation to serious
sickness. The reason that DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures oS per
cent of all cases of consumption if taken
in the early stages of the disease, is that
it puts the whole body into a hearty,
healthy condition. The poisonous tuber-
cular matter is thrown off by the
lungs, and the pure, rich blood cours-
ing through them, quickly stops the
branes and makes the lungs perfectly
marked by wasting away of the bodily
tissues and vice versa. A wasting of the
flesh brings on consumption. Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in
duces the accumulation of sound, hard,
healthy flesh. 1t increases the appetite
and the capacity of the digestive organs
for the assimilation of food. 1t is puri-
fer, a tonic and a powerful curative rem
edy, all i'll one bottle. All who will send
their addresses, this notice and six cents
in stamps, to Worlds Dispensary Medi-
cal Association, Buffalo, N. ", will re-
ceive by return mail large book of

to Do with the strong boys.
The case of Willie and Freddie Strong,
aged and IL years, sons of Joe Strong,
county pauper, is bothering the county
authorities somewhat. Their case was to
have come up in Justice Vien's court yester-
day. but continuance was taken until Sat
urday. In the meantime the boys are in the
county Jail, where their quarters are more
comfortable than they would be at home,
If the stories they tell are true. Sheriff
Hazen has investigated the case and found
three neighbors Of Strong who vouch for the
story told by the boys of their father COM
pelling them to eat scraps Of meat out of
garbage that he had collected at the res
taurants, hotels and private houses on his
regular abeat." He also found that the
boys had told one of their friends that they
were going to steal something so as to go
to the reform school, where they thought
they would have better treatment.
Some little time ago Judge Smith sug-
gested, in course of conversation, that the
state should have some institution where
boys who were not properly cared for at
home could be taken and educated at the
states expense, thereby cheating the peni-
tentiaries of some portion of their raw
material. The reform school does not seem
to be the sort of place to send boys who
are convicted of no crime, for there are too
many iron bars and other symptoms of a
prison to make a good citizen out Of an in
mate. There is no such provision, however,
and the only thing to be done is to ssnd
them to the reform school, unless some
good home can be found for them.
