A BOLD DASH.
Five Of Kings Cowboys from Deming
Attempt to LassO a Friend in
the JuareZ Jail.

Israel Kings cowboys have been en-
gagged in another escapade on the Mexi.
can border. Young Coleman, who was
ming cattle out of chihuahua, is confined
in the Juarez jail. On Sunday afternoon
five of Kings men from Deming showed
up in Ell Paso and went across the river
to Juarez. They first rented saddle
horse from the Star stables. Mr.. Fox, of
the party, rode the horse and the other
four went over on the street car. Arriv.
ing in Juarez four of the men stationed
themselves behind an adobe house near
the Jail and Fox rode boldly up to the
Jail wall, deliberately tied one end of
lasso to the pummel of his saddle and
then giving the rope a whirl or two
around his head sent one end of the rope
flying over the wall into the court of the
prison. Coleman was ready for the rope,
SO he grasped it and gave jerk to indi
cate to Fox that he was ready.
Fox wheeled his horse around and
slapped the spurs to him, but the horse
was not COW pony and knew nothing of
pulling 80 he refused to pull Coleman out
of the hole. The guards in front of the
jail who had been Watching Fox now
opened fire on him. Two shots took eff
feet in the stirrup. Fox could not ride
away as Coleman was hanging to the rope
inside the Jail and the horse WAS rearing
so that Fox could not unite the rope from
the saddle. He pulled his gun and took
two shots at the officers and then dis
mounted, left his horse and Joined his
four comrades who we're awsiting him be-
hind the adobe wall. The Ave, with their
guns in their hands, then leisurely started
across to Ell Paso. When asked what they
would have done if the horse had pulled
Coleman over the wall and the guard had
turned out, one Of the young men said:
"With Coleman We would have been six
strong with plenty of guns and ammunition
and would have whipped any twenty y-five
soldiers or policemen they could have
sent after us. We didn't bank on doing
any running and we would not have ex-
perienced any difficulty had not some
patriotic American, fond of licking the
boots OF Mexican officials, given us away
to the Mexican and American consuls.
OF course We don't blame them for try
ing to Illustrate our scheme, for they were
only acting officially"
After the men left W. L. Hants, a sight
seer from Los Angeles, was arrested and
incarcerated in Jail as one of the con-
spirators to release Coleman. Hants had
never heard of Coleman or met any of
his friends and had papers in his pocket
to show who he was and whore he was 60
ing. But still he must remain in Jail
"because," said he, II am unfortunately
an American citizen and they are poor
stock in any foreign country"
Coleman says he has been most kindly
treated by the Jail officials and would
not have attempted to escape had he not
heard that Mr.. King was dead.

She found the coin she was in search of

closed her purse, and then taking the coin
from her mouth, held it in her hand until

NoBLEsT CHURCH IN THE WORLD

from Ave Maria.


Monreale, by many deemed "the noblest
church in the world" together with the
vast Benedctine abbey and cloister-"a
monastic Alhambra" (now. alasl falling to
ruin)-was created a cathedral in 1882 by
Pope Lucius Ill, who looking on the work,
exclaimed: THE like OF this church hath
not been constructed by any king. even

men to admiration

SHAKERS AND DOCTORS
TALK TOGETHER,

In his able work entitled Longevity"
published few years ago, DR.. John Card
ner, of England, predicts that vegetable
agent will yet be found that shall so re-
tard those changes that bring about old
age as to prolong human life much beyond
its present limit. =
Acting. perhaps. upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought, many eminent ply
sicians have called from time to time ,.pon
the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon to inquire or
them concerning the secrets of medicinal
plants, in which these sincere, simple
minded and God-fearing people are known
men. aIt
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned. and in return received from
their visitors much valuable information
about disease; which they at once made
practical use of. The most important
point was that if genuine and certain
remedy could be found for indigestion and
dyspepsia, and the ailments growing out
of II. a long step would be taken in the
right direction. Old age, said these physi-
clans, begins in a failure of the digestion.
and so do most diseases at any and all
periods of life. The result of these consul
tationS was the discovery by the Shakers
of the desired specific, made wholly from
herbs. and now known as the Shaker Dr.
gestive Cordial. Its action is magical and
worthy of its origin.
Where there is distress after eating,
heartburn, sick headache, bad taste in the
mouth, biliousness, weakness and weari-
ness, cold hands and feet, aversion to
food, nervousness, or any other symptom
rative virtues. Behind II Is the reputa-
tion OF a people who have never defrauG-
ed or deceived their fellow men.
In order to test whether this remedy is
adapted to your case, at practically no
cost, you may procure a trial bottle for ten
cents of almost any druggist.

A story of Ii Hung Chang.

From the St. Pau Pioneer Press.
Mrs. Mary C. Mind of Detroit delivered
a very interesting address on the work
of the Oriental missions at the First
Methodist church last evening. She told
a number of amusing and interesting Incl
dents that came under her notice during
her stay I'm the Orient. One Of the in
cidents is well worth repeating. Some
thing over year ago Chinese Chris
tan girl named Marguerite Wang came
to America with the Intention of obtain
ing an education. She remained here q
year and was just about to enter a wo-
mans college, when she received word
that her father had betrothed her to "A

on the same ship with them was Ii
Hung Chang and his suite. The viceroy
noticed the Chinese girl and sent his sec
rotary, Lord Ii, TO inquire about her. A
day or two later he sent word that he
would like to talk with Marguerite and
Miss Hartford. They went to see him
and told him the story of the girls at

that he wanted the women of China rep

HOW A $500 VOLT SHOOK FEELS.
That Is, il 1t Doesn't Kill You Out
right.

From the Lancet.
The following details of a recent electric
accident are interesting and may be use
full. On Nov. 20 an electrical engineer
was standing on a chair ready to move a
reversing switch ON the arc lamp side of
a rectifer for lighting a series of sixty
lamps 5000 volts) He casually placed
his hand on the metal cover of an am
meter (Which was in series with another
sixty-lamp circuit, and, turning to the left
and leaning back to make an OBJ
servation (still standing on the chair, he
placed his left hand on an iron pillar. Now,
the ammeter case proved to be in metallic
contact (accidentaD with the light leads,
and as the return wire was "earthed"
there Played through the body from hand
to hand a current under pressure of
(nominally) 5000 volts. AS a matter of
fact, the electro-motive force tested be-
tween the point of contact by Kelvin
electrostatic volunteer proved to be $500
volts.
He says that the first thing he realized
was that he found himself standing on the
floor. but has no clear idea as to whether
he jumped off or was knocked off" The
fore arm was drawn up close TO the
chest" and the hands clenched. From a
little above the elbow downward he de-
scribed a feeling of pulsation" and a vi
oient beating in exact step with the alter
majors drumming eighty-three periods per
second. All power Of movement below
the elbow was absolutely lost, but the arm
at the shoulder could be moved from the
side. The pulsations, although still re-
tanning their periodicity, soon became less
violent. and motor power returned sue
cessively in the muscles that move the ell
bow, wrist, and fingers. In three minutes
he felt none the worse" There was no
sensation of burning at the moment, but
ten minutes afterward the hands became
painful. and examination showed a burn
on the tip of the left middle and ring fingers
and on the back of the right little and ring
fingers with a scared line across the lower
norton of the palm. There has been no
other effect excepting that he expresses
himself as feeling decidedly better in gen.
eral health"
Which current did the body receive?
With the contracts named 1 estimate that
the resistance Of the body might be 10000
ohms.
