disease that is looked upon as a miracle
When visited by a Call reporter Dr. Brown

his final cure.
This will be my first step into the field of

over my recovery that feel like conducting
regular experience meeting.

Man Whose War Record Was Assailed
From the Chicago Record.
Judge Randolph of the Kansas district

GERS who believed in upholding the dignity
his own personal honor.
A divorce suit, In which a gray-haired
veteran of the late war was plaintiff, came
up before him while he was on the circuit
out in a prairie county. The rude court
room was filled with spectators, and the
old man seemed unwilling to go on the
stand in his own defense.
Il am not going to grant divorces with

ONLY LIVE ROBBERS.

The Post ONCE Department Does Not
Pay Rewards for Dead Ones.
Some very curious cases have been de-
cided by the law department Of the Post
Office Department relating to rewards for
the capture Of robbers OF post offices. Mr..
Milliken las just rendered decision
against a claimant at California, Mo-.
where a post office safe was robbed. In
such cases the department pays 500 each
for the conviction Of the persons engaged
in the robbery. There were five persons
concerned in the affair, but the authorities
had no clue to the men. 1t happened, how
ever, that the guilty persons were in 6
saloon some time afterward, and one of
them got into dispute with farmer and
a lively row ensued. in which the farmer
shot aud killed the man. The other men
ran out, but were captured by other per-
sors. not because they were post office
robbers. but because they were engaged in
the row.
1t turned out on examination that the
man who was killed was the ringleader of
the robbers and had the bulk of the booty
on his person. His death resulted in prov
ing completely in the robbery upon the
other four men. The men who captured
the four have been allowed $500 The
farmer made application for $500, but 1t is
held that the reward being offered for the
arrest anu coHNlCllOu VI the TODDeTS, NJ
carrot be paid the amount. The dead rob-
Der was neither arrested nor convicted
of the offense. Mr. Milliken said that II
was rather hard, but, under the law, ne
could do nothing else.
He recalled a case in Oklahoma where
there had been 1 robbery ard three notori-
Gus desperadoeS were pursued, and, after
fierce encounter. one was killed, another
mortally wounded and the other captured
The dead robber in this instance was the
leader and had nearly all the stolen prop.
erty on his person. The others were tried
and convicted, and the wounded man died
shortly afterward. The reward of 500 was
paid for the capture of the two but, al.
though Mr.. Millilken reported In favor OF
paying the reward for the dead robber. II
was found not to- be in accordance with
the law. and was refused. Post office rob-
bers must be taken alive In order to secure
rewards.

Poisoning I'm India.

From the Chicago 1Dter-Ocean.
The Increase in the number of poisonings
in India is attracting a great deal of at
tention in London. Formerly pounded
glass and opium were the favorite agents
Of destruction used. But education from a
European point of view has impaired to
the dwellers of Hindoostan the knowledge
of a number of new and far more deadly
compounds and drugs. The ma jority OF
the victims are men and children. In
India it is favorite way of paying of an
old score to poison the child of ones en-
emy while, according to official statistics.
in the majority of cases where men have
been poisoned the culprit has turned out
to be his mother-in-law.

that ne was going to leave the office and
