BANDIT BILL COOK CAPTURED,
The Notorious Outlaw Taken
By Surprise.
A United States Marshal's Lucky
Catch.
Fifteen Thousand Dollars In Rewards
for thu Desperate VIII Go
to the Ofhcers.

Special to THE HERALD.
FoRr STANTON, N. NJ, Jan. 13.-Bill
Cook. the notorious outlaw. WAS safely
landed in Jail at Roswell, N. NJ. today,
and United States Marshal Hill Of New
Mexico has instructed Deputy Marshal
Perry, who made the capture. to bring
Cook to Socorfo, from where he will be
shipped east as soon as arrangements
for his removal to the scene of his
crimes can be perfected. The rewards
for Cooks capture aggregate $4,000.
Two stories are afioat here as to how
the capture was brought about. One is
that Cook had been followed by Deputy
Marshal Perry for several weeks, cap
ture being delayed until an opportune
moment. Another story is that Perry
recognized the outlaw while on hunting
for cattle thieves. 1t is probable Perry
and his posse were on the lookout for
the outlaw and had knowledge that he
was in Southeastern New Mexico. and
only waited till he could make the
arrest without loss Of life. He
was recognized by citizen Of Fort Stan
tom the day previous to his capture
when passing through the town. Cook
had tablishsd himself in an abandoned
ranch near old Fort Summer. Perry and
posse tracked him. and, under cover OF
darkness, established themselves about
the cabin. In the early morning hours
when Cook came out to feed his horses
he was surprised by seeing the muzzles
Of rites pointed at his head. He got
ratified and threw up his hands like a
tsndsrfoot. Perry will get the lions
uhare Of the reward.

DIR. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Minefy-eight per cent. of all
cases of Consumption, in all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura.
BILE, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
cenfdge Of cases, and we believe, fnlLy 9S
per cent are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious eXpectoration (includ-
ing tubercular natter, great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported TO us as cured by Golden Med
ica1 Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
Our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal inalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried III nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt whiskey
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps

The dealer took the drawer out and
empted it on the layout. There was
some email change in it. 60 cents in all.
"Pve got $l400 in chips and that

the silver.

"It's WEIGH then. eh ?" inquired
Smith.

"How about the $500 changed in 2"
asked Smith.

Smith amelled mouse and went to
the police, with the result that the po-
lice raided the place. By the time they
had hammered down three doors and
got to the gambling room there was
nothing in sight that looked like gam
bling tools, and the five men sitting
around gave the officers the laugh. The
loungers were arrested. however, and
taken to the station. Then detectives
forced open vault in the wall and there
found faro and roulette lsy-outs and all
the paraphernalia of fully equipped
gambling houae. Smith will not appear

He just wanted to close the place, and

government by the Japanese is making

the Countrywide court and state affairs
having hitherto been mixed up. A

his own country; the court should be
systematically organized; the functions
and competence OF the cabinet and the
various departments of state should be
determined; taxes should be unified by
the finance department; military sys>

this has been placed on sound footing,

police authorities should be unified; the
discipline of government functionaries
should be rigidly enforced and any such
practice as that in vogue of selling gov

authority OF local officials should be
limited by statute and the power cen i.

Appropriation Bill.

A Report That VIII Accompany tho
Appropriation Bin.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-Representa.
tive Holman, chairman of the house
committee on Indian affairs, has pre-.
pared report to accom- pany the Indian
appropriation bill. 1t shows the total
Indian appropriations for 1895 were
1868, $50 less than 1894, while this bill
providing for 1896 carries q total of
s6. 496. $40. a reduction of s23s, 173 below
the appropriation bill for 1896. Many OF
the reductions were made upon the
recommendation OF the commissioner Of
Indian affairs. Representative Holman
says:
while there is a material reduction
from the estimates, especially 90 to con-
tingent expenditures, il is understood
by the committee on Indian affairs that
in the main the reduction will not en-
barrasa the Indian Office in providing
for the Indian service.
1.-THE most important OF the legisla-
tive features incorporated in the bill Ia
a plan by which it is proposed to solve
the vexed problem of governmental re-
lations with contract schools, so-called,
most OF which are under church control
and which have been the GAUGE of Sec
tartan contentious. The secretary oil
the interior Is authorized to make con-
tracts for the education OF Indian pupils
in these schools for the next fiscal year
to an extent not exceeding 80 per cent
of the amount so used last year, and
each succeeding year the amount is to
be reduced 20 per cent, 90 that at the
end of five years all such contracts will
cease. This plan does not include pubs
lie schools with which the bureau has
arrangements for the education of its
Indian wards.
ut ia explained that the reduction OF
49, 900 from the amount oil estimates for
the transportation of Indian children to
schools ia in pursuance OF q policy OF
gradually concentrating them in schools
ON their reservations in the belief that
the education OF children among the
tribes tends to elevate all the Indians oil

special to THE HERALD.
CHICAGO. Jan. 13.-The draft OF plans
for the Yerkes observatory at Lake
Geneva, Wis. will be completed next
week. The new plans will differ mate
rally from those originally decided
upon and the changes only strengthen
the title OF the University OF Chicago to
the prospective ownership OF the great

George E. Hale. director elect of the
new observatory, said last night:
"The contract has been let for dome
80 feet in diameter and a rising floor OF
the observatory room which will meas-
ure 70 feet in diameter and will rise and
fall % feet. This floor is to enable the
observer to accommodate himself to the
varying positions of the telescope. We
expect to become established by Sep

work OF observations will begin"

Gently received the Jansen gold medal
from the French Academy OF Sciences.
Professor Hale said: "The principle Of
this instrument is to employ one kind
of light to the exclusion of other kinds.
The light we use is given out by glow
ing vApor OF calcium in the sun. With
the spectre. sliogrsph we are enabled to
photograph prcminences around the
sun and facula on the surface. The
mode Of doing this l devised in 1889 and
carried on some investigations durin 9
that and the following year at the Har-
ward college observatory, but the first
important result was obtained here in
the spring of 1891. Since then work
has been constantly progressing. We
have taken 1890 photographs of the
sun with this instrument. The
Yerkes telescope will allow this
work be carried on in much more ex'
tensivs manner on account Of the very
large image of the sun it will give. and.
