John BuII's Pills.

Between 100000 and 100000
pills of one kind or another are
estimated to be daily consumed in
the United Kingdom. Estimates
are based on the actual daily sales
by druggists of ordinary pills, pre-
scription pills, and patent medi-
cine pills. The average of these
estimates which come in from all
parts of the country, showed that
the daily consumption was con-
siderably over 5,500,000, which
will give one pill per week to
every man, woman and child of
the population. Taking the aver
age pill to weigh three grains, the
years supply for the United King
dom would weigh not less than
17S tons, or enough to fill thirty
six ordinary wagons, and making
trainload which would require
two powerful engines to pull

OUTRAGE IN BOLIVIA.
F,ur Americans SummariIy Executed
for Quarreiing.

Tor Nuarretng.
A special of bee. 29 to the New
York World from Lapaz, Bolivia,
says: Four American citizens,
Charles Joiner, George Miner,
Alfred Heard and Thomas Cald-
we'll, arrived at Chuquisaca last
week after a five weeks journey
from Brazil, where they had been
working for years and had amass-
ed considerable fortunes, which
they were taking home. They
remained several days spending
money freely and gambling ex-
tensively.
Tuesday Miner accused Pepe
Gonzales, Acting Mayor of Chu-
quisaca, of having cheated them,
playing marked cards, and offered
to prove his assertion. Gonzales
drew a pistol, but was knocked
down by Joiner, and a general
fight ensued, in which thirty per-
sons threw themselves on the
friendless Americans. Finally
the police arrested the Americans,
letting the natives go free. The
Americans were taken to the
filthy Jail, left two nights and one
day without food and then; after
the semblance of a trial, in which
they were accused of being spies
and were not allowed to send a
message to the American Consul,
they were sentenced to death.
The sentence was carried into
execution at noon Thursday pub
licly. Their horses and other
properly have disappeared, but it
is known that Gonzales has dis.
tributed them among his friends
and the police. (.

Here the young woman made another
pause. In his impatience, Calicot got
up impulsively and strobe about the
little room. He was shut up helplessly
in living tomb and events, in what
now seemed like another world, were
hurrying on to some kind of disaster.
He calmed himself by powerful men

you see now?"
"Thcy are close together at the in

After some delay, there was evidently

blind as it was he tried to impress it
upon his memory for after reflection.
He heard her saying: "Will take gun
boat and seize arms; council here on
the 25th; make all instructions con-
form to that date"
Day after day, as the girl revealed in
broken sentences the communications
that were made from the cave to the
cottage, the bulk of the information
began to arrange itself in his mind
around certain well-defned points.
The conspiracy, he now saw extended
over the whole United States! 1t had

When he was alone the discovery
filed him with all manner of con-
lectures and alarms. 1t kept him
awake all night in an effort to make a
correct deduction from the informa-
tion furnished. The next day he
cautiously cndeavored to test the truth
of Miss Endicott's vision. He met
Hendricks in the rotuntln. and after a
polite salutation said: 1t is impossible
for me to wander about in this place
and not hear the men occasionally dis

lie then walked away as if disin-
clined to talk further upon the sub
ject.
So this piece of information was ab-
solutely correct Calicot saw that the
affairs of Hendricks and his men were
now too urgent to leave them much
time to think of him and the women,
and he resolved to improve the oppor-
tunity with Miss Endicott. Miss La

acknowledged that the doctor fright

to take the packet of hair and tried to

dcrground. As the magnitude and
method of the plan were slowly com
pretended, he asked himself: What is
the government doing? Can it be pos
sible that the world has not yet dis
covered the two exits to this strong
hold?-and then he tried to forecast
the result when the exits were discov-
cred. Hendricks cannot be dislodgcd,
he said, even by engineers, who would
have to tunnel q mountain. He can
only be sealed up and starved to death.
and in any such attempt what unknown
exits may he not have. He recalled
the mysterious magazine in the south
western wall OF the rotunda with its
wooden doors and its sign of danger.
Was this magazine? Might not that
impression have been created to keep
secret an unknown exit until an emer-
gency occurred? He had heard La
port speak of the magazine. He would
talk to the old man about it.
His imagination pictured long
chasm leading to some unsuspected
region of country with its exit hidden
in the mountains. He foresaw in
his fancy besieging army encamping
over a mine or fallen upon by sudden
force that sprang up as if by magic in
it's rear-and then disappeared, md he
began to ask himself if this conspiracy
had not gathered into it's ranks most
of the malign forces of civilization
which under the names of nihilism and
anarchy seek mainly to destroy.
Intolcrable as these reflections were
to q man compelled to see the progress
of all this diabolism and prevented
from raising warning cry or lifting
a finger, there were other considera-
tions that were even more poignant.
Here was an innocent and intelligent
girl who, with her father, would be in
volved in the inevitable catastrophe
or thrown into the hands Of Fcnning,
and Calicot had grown to have a pro-
found sympathy for her. Lieut.. Stock
ing, as he well knew, had with his i'm
pulsive temperament developed still
stronger interest in her, and Stocking
by his very nature could not be de-
pended on TO assist him.
In turning over these perplexities in
his mind he was aware of an undis-
turbed conviction hiding away in his
nature, that the normal intelligence
and moral force ought in some way to
be able TO circumvent all this mischief.
But how?
Some kind Of vague scheme Of es-
cape for Stocking and Miss Laport,
through what he conceived to be the
secret exit OF the magazine, shaped it.
self in his mind, and then he got hold
of Laport one day after comforting
with the old mans daughter. The
three were eating their breakfast to-
gether when Calicot approached the
subject OF the magazine guardcdly,

they are. He is reading the papers to
her." Calicot very soon discovered
that she could not repeat what she
heard, if, indeed, she heard anything
at all. Whatever her special gifts
were they appeared to be confined to
vision. She could read the title and
the type of the paper in Jennings
hands and she saw his lips move. lie
was undoubtedly reading to Mrs.
Hendricks, and she was summarizing
the intelligence in dispatches to
Hendricks. It was not difficult to
direct the girls mind to the news in
front of Fenning, and she read it off
with her body bent forward as if
strainipg to perceive an indistinct
object and speaking slowly like child
coming a lesson.
What was Calicot's astonishment to
hear her. in this manner, convey the
import of the matter before her strange
vision.
He learned that the success of the
authorities in tracking the source of
the widespread Junta conspiracy to
western Tennessee, had led to some
curious developments. The New York

pointed to the fact that the master

Here the girl stopped. and Calicot
with allowable impatiepce asked her
to go or. "He has laid the paper

possible, what Laport knew about it.
To his astonishment he knew all about
it. He had surveyed it. 1t was an enor-
nous pocket in the southwest wall of
the rotunda, its mouth facing the
northeastern direction of the cave, and
it had no other outlet. Calicot felt
his vague hopes all vanish as heard
this, but Laport went on talking un-
suspiciously. "It is" said he, "a peril

kind of notion that he might have to
blow his way out of the cave at some
time, but he never can do it at the
point of the magazine"
"And why not?"
because the rock is seventy-fve feet
thick at that point"
"And suppose the magazine should
explodc?'
''In that case. every living soul in
the Laran on this side of the maga-
zine, would be killed"
Calicot was listening eagerly, but he
did not clearly understand, SO the old
man glibly explained.
ST by any accident" he said, "the
powder is exploded there the magazine
will simply go off like an enormous
stone cannon, whose mouth points to
the northeast passages. Can you not
see that the sudden conclusion and
compression of the air in the confined
spaces, reaching to the last wall of the
arena, will kill every thing by shock?
The whole force must expend itself in
what is really an enormous pneumatic
tube. Hendricks is wonderful man
in dealing with events. but he makes
some singular mistakes in dealing with
physics"
