Evidence of Tragic Death.

A ranchman on Willow creek, sixty
miles north Of Casper, Wyo.. made a
CHASTITY find while riding through draw
near his ranch. It consisted Of the
rusty barrel and rotten stock of a rifle,
broken and lying near the skull and
other bones of a human being. The
weather-beaten bones and dilapidated
gun gave evidence that they had lain
where found for at least twenty years,
and told the story Of death either at
the hands of savages or wild animals.
The ramrod was broken in the barrel
and the rifle was evidently broken while
being used as club. The only lettering
that could be found on the remnants of
the gun were the words, IN. p. Demar-

The sensation just now in Berlin is a
company founded by English capitalists,
which deals wholesale in sweet wines,
cognac, Hqeurs, chocolate, tea and coffee,
1t owes it's popularity to the original idea
it has put in practice of allowing every
customer to sample the goods he is to
buy.
For this purpose there is a large "auto-

enters this and drops a coin of the value
of cents in a slot, and, as result, gets

said to be excellent. Cognac is the only
exception to the universal price of

Because he had palpitation Of the
heart, Mr.. A. J. Allen determined
to quit smoking. He thought the
tobacco habit was the cause of his
trouble, but when he ceased
smoking the pulsations Of the heart
were more violent than ever. Mr..
Allen is a registered chemist Of
Lynn, Mass, and at second thought
he concluded that, if tobacco wasn't
the cause, it must be acute dys-
pepsia. His knowledge Of chemistry
naturally prompted him to take
Ripans TabuleS, we'll knowing
their efficacy in disorders Of the
stomach, liver and bowels. Quick
relief followed, and now there is
no more distress in the region Of
his heart. But the remarkable part
of Mr.. Aliens experience follows:
He decided to forego smoking
anyhow, and discovered that Ripans
Tabules not only satisfied the
longing for tobacco, which all
smokers are familiar with, but at
first he actually looked forward
with pleasure to the three periods
each day when he took the Tabules.
Mr.. Allen no longer smokes, and
has no desire to, nor does he take
the Tabules. He is a we'll man, ana
does not need medicine Of any
kind. Mr.. Allen believes Ripans
Tabules will prove a powerful aid
to any man who desires to abandon
the tobacco habit.

AN ALLIANCE.
Russia and Turkey Have
Joined Hands.
United Power for Offensive
and Defensive Action.
Believed France May Be Included
In the Alliance.

LONDON, Jan. GA dispatch TO the
Pail Mall Gazette from C%onstantinople
dated yesterday says that an o~ffsnsive
and defensive alliance has been conclud-
ed between Russia and Turkey. The Pail
Mall Gazette correspondent adds that the
treaty was signed in Constantinople and
that the ratifctions were exchanged at 81.
Petersburg between Asrej Pasha and the
Czsr. The basis OF the treaty is declared
to be on the lines Of the Unkiarskelessi
agreement of 1888, by which Turkey
agreed in the event OF Russia going to
war, TO close the Dardsnelles to warships
of all nations.
then says that the treaty win soon he
abandoned owing to the refusal Of the
powers to recognize it. He also says
that the French ambassador, NJ. Cambon,
conferred With the Sultan yesterday and
that 1t is probable that France will be in
cluded in the new al lance.
Commenting on its dispatch from Con-
stantinople announcing the signing Of a
treaty between Russia and Turkey for
offensive and defensive purposes, the
Pail Mall Gazette, says: "We regard the
news as true and the result OF the treaty
is that the Dardanelles is now the south
ern outpost of Russia and Turkey. is Rus
sia's vassai. We presume the British
government will protest against the
treaty for all ii is worth.
"The information is plainly OF the very
gravest Importance. The first intimation
reached US four days age, but we with
held 1t until the arrival Of strong contir-
nation, which we received this morning.
This brings Russia into the Mediterran-
can with a vengeance and may recessitate
the strengthening OF our feet in those
waters. Politically, the effect will be far
greater. The treaty means that Turkey
has realized her own Importance against
disorders, both from within nod without,
and has decided to throw herself for
safety into the arms Of Russia. She is
now Russia's vassal and Russia is entitled
to dispatch troops to any part OF the Sui
tan's dominions whenever there Is the
least breach Of disorder, and when is
there not?
"We presume the arrangement will give
the keenest satisfaction to the Anglican
meniar section of our people. With them
lies the chief blame for the complete
alienation Of Turkey, though it must be
owned that it has been sedulously foster
ed by long term of weak policy at Con-
~stantinople.'
