Rosenthal's old stand was the
most attractive place in the city
Monday. The ladies of the town
and county had read the advertise
ment of those enterprising and big
hearted brothers, John and Sam
Ashton, about the premiums to be
given for the cakes and bread made
from "Ashton's Best" and Pearl
meal, and the cakes and bread stuff
was forthcoming. 1t was certainly
big advertisement of the house
wives of the country. We never saw
such a large and beautiful display in
that line. There were dainty
mullins; lOafs of bread, rolls, and
biscuits, as white as snow heap,
and enough to have fed a certain
hungry throng upon the mount of
Olives; row after row of cakes, some
handsomely ornamented, and so
tempting as to make body's mouth
water and to place them like
Tantalus. The Judges in the con-
test were:
Judges Of White Cake.--Mrs, w. p.

JudgeSof Yeast Light Bread and salt

Mrs. Robert Pillow, Mrs, O. p. Rutledge.
We don't see how they could decide, 5.
but they finally gave the premiums
as follows:

md the next morning the lieutenant ut.
.ered an exclamation Of satisfaction.
lie had discovered the mouth Of a cave
at the base of the cliff, and lying about
IL were carloads of powders which had
fallen from the crest.
I'VE must stop here and make a fight
for IT," he said, as he half carried her
TO the opening. I'm with you and find
place to sit down, and will block the
entrance"
The tourist who visits "Haskell's
Cave" as il Is called, will find anarrow
opening for few feet, with turn to
the left and then q chamber twenty
feet square. There are others and
larger ones In the same cliffs, but none
with history. The girl passed through
into the chamber and fell on the rocky
floor, and after ten minutes hard work
the officer had the entrance securely
blocked against rush. When he had
seen TO this he apolse n few encourage
ing words TO the girl and then set him
self TO watch for the Indians. He had
not long TO wai.. Five half-naked and
war-painted redskins came along on
their trail az run. and the first
intimation they had of the pres
ence of the fugitivcs was n bull
let which tumbled one of them over.
Army officers believe in getting in the

The trail showed that only man and

woman didn't count. Twenty Indians
ought TO have him out at the first dash.
There should be no pafleying-no de-

saw that on attack would soon bc made

wasted or some OF them told-the lieu
tenant had no lead to throw AWAY.
Crack! craclSl crack! went his pistol,
and the rush was failure. Four dead
bucks lay in full riew rs the smoke
lifted, and there were two or three
wounded TO crawl away. Red Deer was
furious and his warriors thirsted for
revenge, but they dared not try an
other rush. The rapidity of the fire
from the besieged proved that the
woman could also handle pistol. The
redskins scattered about, and for an
hour kept up a hot fire on the entrance
of the cave, and then two or three ex-
posed themselves to witness results. A
bullet in the shoulder rewarded the
nearest one. Half an hour later all the
Indians gathered on the edge of the
cliff above the cave and began TO col
lect and throw down dead leaves and
limbs and logs and whatever would
make q fierce fire. 1t was safer to smoke
the pair out than face The revolvers.
The work had been going on for quar-
ter Of an hour when il suddenly ceased.
Then came yells and shouts and shots,
and then the gang of cowboys and
prospectors hired by John Livingstone
came galloping up, ready to fight In-
dians or outlaws. and the siege was
over. There was n running fight with
the Indians for five miles up the val
ley, and Red Deer and dozen of his
young men never returned TO the res
ervation, but that was side issue.
Horses were provided for the lieuten-
ant and the girl, and at late hour that
evening she was restored to her fathers
arms. The officer made himself shy

FALL WEATHER DANGERS.
Much Sickness Expected by the
Authorities.
Yurlana Recommended for the Public Health.

A long season of hot weather has used
up the strength and pulled down the
flesh of many people. Their stomachs
have become week and flaccid.
This is noticed especially in the case of
children whose digestions seem 10 be par
alyzed by the first cold wave. But it Is
also true of grown people, who are sur
prised that the cool days of approaching
fall make them feel worse, instead of
better. They have increased appetites
perhaps, but their enervated digestive
organs are unable TO properly assimilate
their food.
The time is coming for cold nights and
mornings and warm Moons. The clothing
that is needed for the proper protection
of the vital organs in the early morning
becomes burdensome in the middle of the
day. II is the season of drafts and sud-
den changes, which find the system but
poorly prepared TO stand such strains.
Many deaths will result in this season,
but the chief effect will be in the general
loss of public health until the people in
the community have been enabled TO adj
Just themselves to the new climatic con-
ditions.
All doctors agree that great care Is
needed both in food and clothing. I'm
necessary exposure should be avoided, and
especially should the stomach be given
every possible assistance in its important
functions. If the stomach is toned up
and invgorated, If the liver and kidneys
are kept in good working order, the
whole machinery of life is given strength
and renewed energy. The stomach is the
power producer of the human body, and
92 per cent. of all sickness comes from its
failure to do its proper work.
Physicians chemists and practical
druggists who have administered and in
vestigated Puritana, the prize-formula Of
DIR. Dixi Crosby of Dartmouth College,
have publicly and privately stated that it
is the one safe and effective stomach rem

darkness they had not seen him fall

those who passed had no idea of his

prowled around and sought TO learn IL

outlaw had been shot through the right
hip and wa rrlowly bleeding 10 death.
Tie at first took the officer for one of his
gang, but when he discovered his mis-

Tht officer was anxious 70 do some
thing for the outlaw, enemy though he
was, but the man replied that he wanted
nothing, except to die before daylight
came and gave the Indians his location.
lie had lived In his boots and was dying
with them on, and that was the way his
companions had gone. lie knew that
death was near and insisted on Haskell
taking his guns, and there was nc
trcmor in his voice as he said good-by
and advised the officer TO hurry away in
search of the girl.
There was an hour of darkness as
Lieut.. Haskell and the girl sat side by
side on the rock and convcrsed in whis-
peTs. AT the first signs OF daylight
they rose and moved away, and when
day had fully come they shaped their
course for the trail over which both had
come during the night. The dead
horse had not been lett mile behind,
however. and there came peculiar cry
which warned the officer that the In
dians were on the spot. They had
tracked the hoof-prints across the val
ley and come upon the dead horse. They
would search for the girl--they would
soon discover signs of mans presence.
It was folly to hope 10 escape by fight.

A BOSTON LAWYER.
What Mr.. John p. Wyman Says Of
Puritana.

v
Puritana.
The duties of his law practice make
Mr.. Johu y. Wyman an exceedingly busy
man, and yet, when asked by an ac-
quaintance what he knew about Puritana,
he took time briefly to recount his ex-
perience. Mr. Wyman writes:
IL have long been subject TO severe
headaches and TO other symptoms which
seemed To indicate nervous affection Of
the stomach. Some weeks ago it occurred
10 me that there might be virtue in
Puritana, which was informed was the
formula of Prof. Dixi Crosby Of Darth-
mouth College. As it gave evidence OF
being a thoroughly good preparation, and
as there was a chance that it might bring
me the relief which / earnestly desired, l
tried il TO the extent OF several bottles.
81 am not enough of a medical man
technically TO diagnose my own case, or
absolutely to measure the benefit derived
from the use of Puritana, but l know, as
a fact, that after had been using PIsfi-
tana, ! had better appetite, better
nights sleep, and, practically, freedom
from headaches, which had previously
caused me much suffering.
"Ihe result is that feel sure the credit
can fairly be given TO Puritana, and,
while am not licensed TO prescribe any
medicine, am willing, on the basis of my
own experience, TO express the opinion
that Puritana is an important remedy for
troubles of the stomach and nerves"
