From the Pres, Neso Fork Guy.
Worn with tho exposure Of army life ON
The frontier, and poisoned by the continual
drinking of alkai water, Joseph Flegauf
returned to Philadelphia eight years ago,
broken down in health and unable to do
any work.
He had served five years with the Ninth
United States Infantry In many = desperate
fight with the Indians in Arizona and other
frontier States and had won an enviable
record. In the fierce conflict when Gcron-
limo, the famous chief of the Apaches, was
captured, Mr.. Flegauf was among the brave
soldiers who, forgetful of everything but
duty, charged upon the hostile Indians.
Life on the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who were never touched
BY . redskins bullet or arrow, and Mr.. Flo
gauf came near such fate as that. A long
time before his time was out he was taken
seriously i'll, but he stuck to his post until
an honorable discharge was finally given 70

when he reached Philadelphia, the Indian
va; q. an sne and
ly i'll in . hospital He felt dizsy, and his
stomach felt as il it had dried up. These
symptoms were accompanied by bloody
dysentery, which no medicine seemed to n.
ieve.
After two years Of suffering, Mr.. Flegauf
came,to New York and was treated by sew
eral physicians. These did not agree, some
calling bis disease catarrh Of the stomach,
and others chronic diarrhHa.
In speaking to reporter about his illness
Mr.. Fleganf said the doctors helped him,
but, with all the money he spent for advice
and medicine, hc was able TO work only
small part Of the time. Since moving 70

ond Street, in New York, about . year ago.
Mr.. Fiegauf has been SO i'll that his voice
and hearing almost left him.
Then all medicines failed, and the sick
man had little hope Of recovery. AT this
critical time DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pole People wero recommended to Mr.. Fle-
ganf, and, almost - . last hope, he began
taking them.

YOUNG TOUGHs.
Three of Them Nearly rlurder an
Elderly Chinaman.

Several outrages have lately been
committed by young hoodlums on
peaceable Chinaman, and if the practice
is kept up a little longer some of the
youthful toughs are liable to get killed
before police protection can reach them.
About 10 o'clock last night three
hoodlums assaulted an elderly China
man at Third and K streets, and the
only wonder is that he escaped with
his life. They knocked him down with
cobblestones, and it was some time be-
fore he regained consciousness. One
stone struck him on the forehead, and
he must have been hit with others, for
when he was picked up his right cheek
bore big bruise and his face was COW
cred with blood.
The toughs made their escape before
anyone could identify them, although
Officers Fisher and Hayes were soon on
the spot. The Chinaman's friends
would not allow him to be taken to the
Receiving Hospital, but Assistant City
Physician Ogden attended him in a
Chinese house to which he was removed
His injuries, though severe, were not
considered dangerous.
On Thursday evening about a dozer
young rowdies assaulted a Chinamar
on Fifth street, near l. They swarme6
about and all over him, and If few cit
liens had not come up just then it is
likely some of the half-grown toughs
would have been shot, as the Chinamar
was making an effort to unlimber his
artillery.
