NEURALGIA, cATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TISM Completely CURED.

George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that p. p. p, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit q teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried +. p. p. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that p. p. p. will not make
q total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med.
icine, p. =. p, Lippman's Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. p. p. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by p. p. P, Lippman's Great Remedy.
Ladies', take p. p. p. and rid your
face of pimples, blotches, freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar rcdness.

A JAIL FULL OF BOYS.
Something For Sociological Stu
dents to Think About.
A Scene at the County Jail Last
Night.
Children Arrested for Crime and They
Don't Seem to Care-sheriff
Kepley's Quandary.

Come up stairs with me- said Sher-
iff Kepley to a Journal reporter, and
L will show you something that will
open your eyes" He led the way to
the third floor of the Jail, where the
convicted jointists are confined in
a large room. The jointists are not
locked in cages like the other prison
ers.
The door was unlocked and Sheriff
Kepley led the way into the room and
to a table at the farther end Four
little colored boy were leaning heavily
on the table and Henry Utterman was
showing them tricks with cards
I wanted you to see these boys
said Sheriff Kepley. just watch them
awhile
I have just bet my coat and lost it,
said one Of the smallest boys. Il don't
know what will do for a coat now
You don't ketch me bettin' any more
with that Teller. Come on fellers, let's
play old casino
With that the four kids dropped
down on the steel floor and the cards
We're shuf1ed and dealt. Then amid
laughter and shouting they played.
Ever since these boys were locked
up said Sheriff Kepley, they have
acted like that. Sometimes they sing
and dance and at others they Wrestle
and always have a big time. You might
suppose they cried when they were
locked up, but they did not. When
they were brought in they began to
dodge around and inquire where l was
going to put them.
Not once since they were locked up
have they manifested the least con-
Germ. They are utterly Indifferent and
care less for their Imprisonment than
any one in here
DO you like to be here % the re-
M lar ask cd T1a of a
I don't care much, but sometimes
would like to get out
He prayed to get out last night,
said one of the other prisoners.
Boys, I guess you will all be sent to
the penitentiary, suggested Sheriff
Kepley.
i guess so; that's all right replied
one of the boys.
4 am at loss to know what is best
to be done with children like those
said Sheriff KepIey as he left the place
I think that they ought to be sent to
the ref0rmatOry for eight or ten years
They might come out all right, but
again they might not. We have a Jail
full Of young men. They are here for
all kinds of crimes, and it seems to me
that crime among the young is on the
increase.
District Judge Hazen said to Jour
nal reporter in speaking of the same
subject: The greatest problem before
US is what is to be done to check the
tendency to crime among the young.
The county jail is full of boys and they
do not seem to care. I am at a loss
to know what it is best to do
AN outsider cannot form very def
mite idea of the situation. In my Opin-
ion it is one OF the greatest problems
before us now, how TO check the ten
dency to crime among the young.
The four boys spoken of by Sheriff
Kepley were arrested for stealing and
pawning John Ritchie's watch. The
eldest is 10 and the youngest II.

FRANK JAMES JOB.
VIII be Hired by Express Companies
to Defend Against Outlaws.

Kansas City. Sept 12.-Frank James,
whose career of crime is perhaps sec
ond only to that of his notorious bro
Their, is to accept a position as special
express messenger, his duty being no
other than that of meeting train rob-
bers at their own game
Frank James is no longer young, but
ne can still shoot with both hands and
shoot straight. But it is not on that
account alone that his services are in
demand. The men who have made him
an offer have decided that the reputa-
ton which the man won as a desper-
ado when the band which he and his
brother led was the dreaded scOurge of
several states will prove a better safe
guard for their bullion than even his
ready revolver.
Indeed, it has been said, and with
some foundation, that if Jesse James
had needed his brothers warning. he
would never have been shot down by
Ford, whom he trusted so fully that he
removed his pistol belt and turned his
back to him, only to receive his death
wound. Frank James had said:
Trust no one when the price on your
head is big enough TO make a man
rich,' and he was right.
He is willing to become a watch dog
and guard bullion for a living provided
the men Who wish to employ him will
agree to his terms.
TN take the job he told them, land
any one who gets the money from any
car I'm riding in will get it over my
dead body. But I've been supporting
my family and little more, and if I
should go under I want to be sure that
they will be provided for.
Now, I'll tell you what I'll do. You
sign an agreement by which they are
to get $4,000 in case I am killed and
I'm your man. Otherwise I'm no tar

about some of them to know that they
can still shoot a little even if the bust
ness isn't what it used to be-

a typical Tale.

The New York Journal says:
That portion of the eastern public
which reads the World has been enrich
ed with the valuable information:
''W. A Clarke of Butte, Mont, the
millionaire owner of the Anaconda sill
yer mine. was c1oseted today with the
Bryan managers, and it is said tonight
that he has brought joy to Chairman
Jones. According to a generally cred
tied story, ne has agreed to raise $500,
600 as the first campaign offering Of the
silver mine owners outside of the state
of Colorado.
This important piece of news seems
to need only three insignificant amend
ments:
l. The Anaconda silver mine" is a
copper mine.
z It is not owned by w. A Clarke,
but by the Rothschilds, J. B. Haggfn
and Marcus Daily.
g. It's owners are all gold men.
With these trif1ing cancellations the
Worlds story would become accurate
enough to pass a cursory inspection.

PowDERLYs oRowN1Ne ACT.

Among the many political aerobauc
feats performed this year that Of T. V.
PowderIy, at Cooper Union, Thursday
night. justly entities him to the palm,
Powderly posed as the great champion
and apostle of labor until labor kicked
him out of its councils.
A change of front on the money ques-
ton by statesmen. politicians and po-
litica1 leaders has become too common
to attract much attention, but an ex-
ample of man repudiating every prin-
ciple that he has advocated and taught
in the past is unusual That Powderly
has done this is what makes his action
remarkable.
He was one of the organizers of the
political party which forced the income
tax law on the country and was a
prominent figure at it's national conven-
ton at Omaha, yet he condemned the
income tax law in his Cooper Union
speech.
He managed one of the greatest and
most destructive labor strikes the coun-
try has ever seen and bled his follow
ing throughout the country for thou
sands of dollars in its support and now
appears as an apologist for Mr.. Cleve-
lands action in connection with the
Debs affair.
He was one of the founders of the
party which demanded an increase of
the circulating medium to $50 per capita
and now he says per capita is
meaningless term

The advent of fail finds many reduced

[From the kansas City Times.l


An enthusiastic meeting of the Kar-
nivaI Krewe was held at room 102,
K eth & Perry building, last night at
which it was demonstrated from com
rnfttee reports, that the parades this
fall are to excel all that have gone be
fore in its novel features. grandeur and
beauty.
The entries of the Real Things" the
Social Rife and Bowling club" the
Stock Yards, the Grain exchange and
the Commercial travellers were an
nounced and the length of the exhibits
of these features alone was estimated
at over two miles.
1t was reported that the Improved
Order of Red Men contemplated enter
ing so or 100 men on horseback dressed
in grotesque Indian fashion, who would
march single file, and that the Masked
Mohecans'' and ''Kaw Valley Cali
thumpians' were also coming in.
Another feature of both the opening
parade on Monday night and the K K.
K. parade will be the Scotch society of
CaledOnians, the members of which
will be dressed in national costume,
with their skin-dhu and Respondent
in their Cairngoeams. Other features
are coming fast and Col. Pearson, chair
man of the parade committee, states
that all organizations expecting to Sc
cure good positions in the parade
should make entries with him at once

GEORGTA'S POLL TAX.
It Runs Up Eleven Thousand Above
Last Year.

Atlanta, Sept. 12.-ComptrolIer Cen
eral Wright has received the tax re-
turns from all the counties in the state.
The returns are a great deal better
than those of last year and better than
was expected for this year.
The returns for land ana property for
the entire state for this year is $780,
991, O98. Those Of 1895 were 1870, 739, 52l.
showing a decrease of $748, 423. This is
better than the returns of last year
compared with what those of last year
were to the year before. Up to three
years ago the returns have fallen off
not less than 2.000.0 GOO. This years
returns shows quite an increase over
this, and the gain is surprising.
The tax returns on railroad property
have not yet been received, but will be
something like 100000 greater than
that of last year.
The poll tax for this year by the di-
gest is $316, 1898, which is $11.617 more
than the poll tax for last year. The
returns are somewhat better than were
expected, which is a pleasing fact.

YOUNGSTOWN FLOOD VICTIM.
The Fortified Body is Pronounced a
Genuine Article.

Johnstown, Sept. 12.-The petrided
body which was found at New Florence
yesterday was brought to this city to-
day and was pronounced to be genu-
inc. The feeling that existed at New
Florence last evening over the contem-
plated removal of the body had sub
sided this morning, when the owner of
the curiosity put it on the train to
bring it to JohnstoWn.
1t was found to be perfect specimen
It was that of q. woman about i've feet
and six inches in height who would
probably weigh 135 pounds when in
life. The features were very plain and
indicated that whoever it was must
have been intelligent It is not impos-
sible that any one who knew her in
former life could recognize her stone
image now.
Two photographs were taken. one
from a front view and the other from a
side view. The front view showed a
well developed woman, while the side
view showed q woman's form but a
mans face. There is every reason to
believe it was the remains of a Johns
town flood victim.

A SUCCESSFUL EXPEDITION.

TFrOm the Milwaukee Wisconsin,
The news brought by DR.. Nansen from
the Jackson armsworth exploring ex-
petition, now on Franz Josef Land. is
of great interest to geographers. Fred
erick G. Jackson, the head of the ex-
petition. says in a resume of his diary
which DR.. Nansen brought back with
him, that he has discovered a great sea
where the map drawn by Payer. of the
Austrian expedition in the Tegetthoff,
shows land. The sea, which Mr.. Jack
son has named queen Victoria Sea, ex-
tends, in his opinion, to within three
degrees Of the North Pole. Jackson is
looking toward the newly discovered
sea as the best available route for his
exploratory work when the sun returns
next year. He says the mapping of
Franz Josef Land is now complete.
The Jackson 4armsworth expedition,
which has made this great addition to
the cartography of the Arctic regions.
is proving the soundness Of the views
of the late Lieutenant Schwatka as to
Arctic exploration. Schwatxa accom-
plished his most important achievement
in the frozen north by establishing
himself in high ATTITUDES and living
with the natives He thus accustomed
himself to the climate and to the native
diet, and was able to take advantage of
favorable opportunities and explore
the unknown regions. The Jackson
Harmsworth expedition went to Franz
Josef Land in 1894 and built station
which was to form the base of the ex-
petitions supplies. After the house
had been erected the steamer Windward
which landed the explorers, started to
return southwark. But she was frozen
in, and her crew had to pass the win
ter with the explorers at Cape Flora.
There were 30 men in the entire party
and the problem of supplying them with
food was a serious one. But jackson
succeeded in killing 60 bears during the
fall and winter and a number of wal
ruses. and he kept the party in good
physical condition throughout their
stay. One man persistently refused to
eat bears meat and he died of scurvy.
The Windward worked out of the ice
in the following summer and returned
to civilization last fall. She went back
to Franz Josef Land in June last, car
rying supplies for at least two years,
and carefully picked reinfercements for
the tried band of explorers who have
increased the worlds knowledge of the
geography of the frozen north.
If the North Pole is ever discovered
it will be through such carefully plan
ned work as that which the Jackson
Harmsworth expedition is accomplish
ing.
