and the official reports of the Agricultural
Department show that the average of wages
paid TO farm hands has advanced l5.7 per
cent. since 1879, which was the year of spe-
Gle resumption True, there has been a gen
ersl decline Of prices of products, dating not
only from 1873 but from 1867, caused by
improvement in machinery, increased intel
ligence, adoption Of new methods, and a re-
turn to normal conditions from the inflated
prices and extraordinary activity Of the war
period, and by the cultivation Of new aud
vast areas Of productive land in the Western
States, in South America and elsewhere
but from 1875 to 1890 the country at large,
and especially the Southern States, increas-
ed in wealth more rapidly than in any SINH
lar period Of the cOuntry's history See

We are not TO be understood as saying
that things are what they ought to be, or
what they might become by the repeal of
bad legislation, the establishment Of a sound

that the remedy for our troubles does not
lie in virtual population or scaling of in

Seems as if consumption always picks out
the brightest and best. Fully one-sixth OF
all the deaths that occur in the world are
caused by consumption. Many things were
once considered impossible. 1t would be
strange if medical science did not make some
progress. The telegraph and telephone, the
monograph, the electric light-all were
once impossible, and once it was impossible
to cure consumption. That was before the
time of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. Taken according to directions, this
standard remedy will cure 9S per cent. of all
cases of consumption. Consumption is
caused and fostered by impurity in the blood.
1t is cured by purity and richness in the
bloOd-surely, certainly cured by the Med
ical Discovery" 1t builds up solid healthy
flesh and vigorous strength.

Irrin Ford Caught.

HARPER's FERRY, W. VA, May T.
About 10 o'clock this morning negro en-
swering to the description of Ford, the sus'
pected murderer of Elsie Kreglo, was arrest
ed at this place by Thomas j. Burleigh and
W. A. Winters. He claimed he was from
Sparrows Point, Baltimore county, and said
he was making his way to Shenandoah
Junction, small village five miles west OF
here, with the intention of boarding the
Norfolk and Western freight for Roanoke.
He disclaimed all knolwedge of the crime.
Arriving at the Jail, he made desperate at
tempt to escape, running into the Shenan-
doah river and endeavoring to cross to the
Virginia side. Mayor Burleigh pursued
him and fred two shots at him, neither TAX
ing effect. When he was recaptured he beg
ged to be shot. He was taken into boat,
and when near the shore jerked away from
his captors and threw himself again into the
river, this time holding his head under the
water as if he were trying to drown himself.
He was again hauled into the boat, hand
cuffed and safely lodged in Jail.
He first gave his name as Isaac Harris,
but now admits that his name is Irwin Ford
and that he is from Sandy Springs, Md
He states that he has wife and one child
and that they are at his fathers home at
that place and that he left Sandy Springs
Sunday. When he was captured he had on
two suits of clothes. He admits knowing
the Kreglo family, but denies the commits
sion of the murder He was taken to Wash
ington tonight in charge of Mayor T. j.
Bureigh, Special Agent w. B. Cross, OF
Harper's Ferry, and Detective II. Board
man, of Washington City.
Later.-Ford has made full confession
of criminal assault upon the young girl, and
also of the manner of the murder. He has
been committed to Jail to await indictment
by the grand jury and trial in the criminal
court at Washington. The laws delays may
admit of the fend's existence on earth foT
two or three months His confession re-
veals one of the most brutal murders of this
age prolific of blood-curdling acrocities.-
The trial is set for next Monday.
