Health DESTROYING Vapors.

Water fmpregnated with the seeds of
malaria, produce incalculable misery
throughout vast portions of the North and
South American continents. The most
effective medicinal defence against these
producers OF physical mischief is Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters. Wherever the great
endemics, chills and fever, bilious remit
tent, dumb ague and ague cake are pre-
valent, the Bitters is alike the chosen pre-
ventive and remedy. In Mexico, Guate-
maia, on the Isthmus of Panama and in
South America, no less than in the United
States, ii has demonstrated its superlative
efficacy, and has received the commenda-
ton of the medical profession. 1t reme-
dies rheumatic, kidney and stomachic all
ments. nervousness and debility. and
counteracts a tendency to premature de-
cay and the troubles attendant upon ad-
vancing years. Appetite and the ability
to sleep are both aided by 1t. Use il with
persistence, as 1t well deserves to be used
and the trial will avail you much.

Japan so short time past that some
Of the new system has not yet become
well grated upon the old order OF
things.
The word itself. soshi, is derived from
two Chinese chsracters-so, a strong
and able-bodied man, and shi. scholar
or sage At FIRST the term was applied
only 10 students OF the different schools
and universities. and the soshi was
only young student OF any age be-
tween II and 80.
Many OF them entered the police
force. for Japan maintains a military
police. and here the former warrior
found restored to him the sword which
a recent edict had forbidden him to
wear as a customary part Of his at
tire. The fact that so many OF the
samural families found in the police
department field for their talents ex-
plains the secret Of the extraordinary
Difference shown by the shopkeepers
and lower classes TO the policeman Of
his district.
Others entered the government serv-
Ice as clerks In various capacities, for
they were a highly educated class. But
still there is not room in the govern
ment service for all these descendants
of the Samurai, and there yet rankles
in the hearts OF many of them the NOR
tifying fact that they have lost those
caste privileges which were so dear TO
their souls. And there is nothing they
dread so much as the bitter humiliation
of falling into insignificance and obli-
WON.
The recent attack upon Ii Hung
Chang, the Chinese envoy, was the work
Of a fanatic soshi. and the rest OF the
Japanese felt this stain upon their ma
tional honor keenly.
The soshl never lack for courage. and
II is a notable circumstance in connec-
ton with these assassinations and at
tempted murders that the soshi himself

Charles Olmstsad Decoyed to south
Bend, Ind. and Arrested.
Charles Olmstead. blacksmith by
trade and recently citizen Of Granger,
small town east Of South Bend, Ind,
on the Grand Trunk ioad, was arrested
in that city last week by Chief Cassiday
on the charge of the murder of his wife
Oct. 20. The warrant was issued at the
instance of Adam Myers of Michigan,
father-in-law of Olmstead, who charges
that his daughter came to her death
from effects Of poison administered by
Olmstead. At the time of the .woman's
death, however, an Edwardsburg ply
stefan issued certificate to the effect
that typho-malarial fever was the cause
Of her taking OFF, but combination Of
circumstances after burial cast suspi-
cion on Olmstead, which resulted in his
arrest as stated.
Oimstead stoutly AYERS his innocence
and that the affair is but spite work
on the part of his father-in-law, with
whom he has had trouble about his
children. olmstead has lived in Michi-
gan since the death of his wife. and
to effect the arrest he was decoyed into
Indiana by letter stating that his
presence was necessary to participate in
the distribution of the dead woman's
property.

William Townsend. who lives near

with a mad COW, which came near cost
ing him his life. Five weeks ago Town

COW, horse and pig. Last week one
of his cows charged upon horse. The
COW set up tremendous bawling,
frothed at the mouth and paved the
ground. After attending to the wound
ed horse Mr.. Townsend and wife. Henry
Farley and wife and M. Ewbanks, a
veterinary surgeon. went out to the
barn lot to see the COW. 1t charged at
the party. breaking down heavy fence
to get at them. The Infatuated animal
caught Townsend. tossed him in the
air and then tramped on him, leaving
him to look after the others, needing
nothing in the way. Ewbank ran to the
house and procured a rife, with which
the cow was shot. Townsend was found
to be seriously injured internally. and
he may not recover. DIR. Ewbank says
undoubtedly the COW was mad. An ex-
animation showed where it had been
bitten on the foot by the dog.

During the past summer there was In
Richmond, Ind, a clairvoyant and
trance medium that possessed remark
able powers. His name was Caleb
Clay. and he was visited by hundreds
OF people. who were astonished at what
he would do in spiritualistic way.
He Is now In Toledo, Ohio. A letter re-
ceiyed from him contains some inter-
esting predictions regarding the future.
He says:
Il predict great happenings. There
are things to cause It. The star Of
Bethlehem is due to appear this year.
Last time 1t appeared was in 1872. Be-
fore that II appeared in 1864, 945, $40
and 325. II was star of such bril-
iiancy as TO light up the heavens. and
that II did appear is an incontestible
astronomical fact. During the past
year unusual disturbances In the
heavenly bodies have been observed by
scientists, as IL they were effected by
the force of another body not regularly
acting upon them. The coldness of last
winter was caused by the influence OF
the planet; storms OF great destructive
ness have occurred, and we have had
unprecedented weather. The variable
star Algoe has undergone great changes
OF late. Some huge, dark body has
blotted IL on the heavens several times.
The moons Of Mars. so long visible to
strong telescopes. have disappeared.
No such rapid disappearance of snow
was ever before noticed. either on the
earth or Mars. Jupiter's moons are
now more brilliant than ever before
known. Venus, when not shrouded by
unusual showers Of meteors, is unusu-
ally bright. attracting remarks from all
tar-gazers All of these things show
the approach Of something unusual in
the heavens.
