The Natives Were Puzzled.

During the Chitral campaign Sir Rob-
ert Low attempted to stretch telegraph
wires over the country. The natives
objected as they thought the wires
were intended to divide the country for
the soldiers when told that messages
were to be sent on the wires they
agreed to guard them. They watched
for the messages until they were tired,
ano as they had not seen any they cut
a section of the wire out and took 1t to
their camp, where they could observe
it with more comfort.

Shot IN Resistina Arre.t.

Friday morning Sheriff Stafford, Of
Alexandria, in company with Deputy
Sheriff Martin Lecaze and Messrs.
George Murphy and Ned F. Luckett,
went to search for Henry Killins, the
young man who is charged with the
assassination of DR.. ]. G. Merrill on
last Wednesday night. Killins resided
about four miles from Boyce, and the
sheriff and deputies found out that
Killins was at his home, and knowing
him to be dangerous character they
concluded to use some tragedy in cap
turing him. Sheriff Stafford and
Deputies Lecaze and Murphy station
ed themselves on the side of the road
in sight of Killins' house and sent Dep
uty Luckett to the house. Mr.. Luck
EFT called to Killins and told him that
he wanted to make q bargain with him
In regard to hauling some cross-ties,
and persuaded him to come out to the
gate, whereupon Luckett drew his
revolver and demanded that Killins
throw up his hands. Killins said:
You can't take me alive; you viii have
to kill me-" Luckett put his pistol
back in his pocket and caught hold of
Killins as quickly as he could. Killins
attempted to get possession of Luck
ett's pistol, but failing started to back
off in the direction of the house. Mr..
Luckett pulled his pistol on Killins
again, whereupon Killins threw his
hand to his hip pocket and attempted
to draw his own pistol, and Deputy
Luckett, seeing that there was no
other recourse, and knowing the char
acter of the man, fired upon him, the
ball entering the side of the neck aud
coming out at the back. The remand
er of the party came to his assistance
when they heard the shot. Mr.. Luck
EFT then caught hold Of Killins and
held him until he could get hold of the
artery which was severed by the bullet
and sewed it up, to keep the blood
from flowing too freely, although Kill
Inns stoutly protested against it. Kill
Inns is very dangerously wounded, and
it is quite likely that he will die.

blow Hls Brains Out.

Eugene Ravain is dead. He blew his
brains out at z o'clock Thursday morn
ing at his residence on Lopez near the
corner of Dumaine stfeet, New Orleans.
That his crime was deliberate is shown
by the fact that he stood before q mir
ror in order that he might make sure
Of aiming the pistol properly. The
deceased was man well known about
town. At one time he was q business
man and at another member of the
sporting fraternity. Death was instan-
taneous, as the bullet entered in close
proximity to the right temple and
plowed its way directly through the
brain. At the time of his act Rayain
was alone in the house. His wife was
short distance away attending to
some of her domestic affairs. when her
attention was attracted by the report
of pistol coming from the direction
OF her sleeping apartment. With all
the haste possible she hurried to her
house, and on entering the room found
her husband in the throes of death "
ing on the floor with his face besmear-
ed with blood and brains. Beside him
just little from his right hand, was
the pistol, silent witness of his deed.
The unhappy woman quickly summon
ed her neighbors< and q physician was
sent for. Before the doctor arrived
Ravain was. dead.

An extraordinary spell of deadly

but other conditions were not stimu-
iatlng. According to government crop
reports, the crops have sustained in
luries. Labor difficulties extend. and
the closing of establishments for want
OF work and the refusal of commercial
loans by banks checked operations in
many branches of industry and trade.
The week, therefore, closes, as the last
week did, with domestic trade unusu-
ally dull for the season. Measured bv
clearing house exchange, it was B ner
cent. smaller than last year and Is. s
per cent smaller than in the same
week OF 1892. the last year of full
business at this season.
Government crop reports for August
were so gloomy that great rise in
prices would have followed, if il had
been entirely credited. In fact. wheat
gained cent, but again declined. clos
ing over fraction higher for the week.
Corn declined throughout, closing over
l cent lower. Cotton advanced a six
teenth, because of continued reports of
injury. 1t is wise to remember that
the government accounts were based
on returns prior to the fearful spell of
heat, and hence may be more nearly
correct than they were when prepared.
But official and unofficial estimates of
great decreases in wheat yield are con-
fronted with a movements from the
farms of 3,500,741 bushels for the
week, against 1926, $40 last year. and
it surely seems reasonable to believe
that 20, 700, 900 bushels would not have
been marketed since July l this year.

To Burn Charcoal for Hogs.

Prof. w. f. Massey in Practical
Farmer gives the following plan of
burning a small kiln of charcoal to feed
hogs:
Begin by laying two stout logs paral-
lei to each other, each about four feet
long. Lay the cordwood sticks across
these so as to make a sort of CRATE to
start the fire on. From one side of this
crate lay large sticks parallel to each
other and about a foot apart to make
the main draft hole, and cover With
short pieces of wood This draft must
extend to the outside of the pile. Now
set the wood ON end, beginning on the
middle of the CRATE first made and lean
ing together at the top, so as to form
sort of chimney and then continue to
pile the WOd on end around these, so as
to make a rounded cOnical pile as large
as you want. Now cover the whole
with sOds, except the draft opening,
and some smaller openings around the
sides of the base, leaving the chimney
open. Now, by Stufting straw ana IN
fiammable matter down the chimney
and dropping Goals on it, you can start
it to burning. Keep the sides we'll
covered with earth, and watch it day
and night. So long as smoke comes
thick and white it is burning all right,
but if it gets clear and blue, the wood
is burning too fast, and some of the
draft holes must be stopped, and some
ashes thrown down in the chimney.
When the combustion is complete,
cover the whole tightly with earth, and
let it stand for a day OF so. Then pull
it to pieces and wet the hot mass to
prevent it taking fire again.

IF Pestered Day and Night.

With nervousness, take Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which invigorates and tran.
ouilizes the nervous system. The basis OF
recovery is a reform in errors Of digestion.
The epigastric nerve and brain are united
in the closest bond Of sympathy, so that
dvsnentic symptoms in the gastric region
are always accompanied by hurtful reflex
nervous action. Both are remedied by the
Rftters. which also cures malaria, bilious
ness. rheumatism and kidney trouble.

To Cleanse the system.

Effectually. yet gently, when costive
or bilious, or when the blood is impure
or sluggish, to permanently overcome
habitual constipation, to awaken the
kidneys and liver to healthy activity
without irritating or weakening them,
to dispel headaches, colds or feyers,
use Syrup of Figs.
