OF such a character is the experience of
Mrs. r. L. Lounsbury, Of Olympia in
Washington, who now resides at No. Ill

Mrs. Lounsbury's trouble was an ag-
gravated case Of stomach trouble. She
says:

appetite eating the juice Of rare beef
My husband would have to read to me

SENSATIONAL EuopEMENr.
James C. Hornbaker Takes typewriter
10 Skagway.

Intense excitement prevailed in the city
yesterday afternoon when IL was noissd
abroad shortly after the Elder had sailed
for Skagway that a prominent young
man. Mr.. James c. Hornbaker. assistant
bookkeeper OF the Foard & Stokes Com
pany. had eloped with the typewriter OF
.he firm. by which both had been en-
ployed.
The story could scarcely be credited by
the newspaper reporter. who was well ac-
Qusinted with the gentleman in question.
and the latter's character was such as
demanded a searching investigation OF
the affair. Upon careful inquiry II was
learned the whole story was true much
to me sorrow OF his friends and nc.
quaintances. who had thus suddenly lost
an agreeable companion and friend.
Many testified that on the last day
just before taking passage on the steam
er. Mr.. Hornbaker had acted in a rather
strange and backward manner. seeming
at all times 20 be IN hurry. as II pre.
pairing for the coming event No doubt
all details had ere then be perfected
everything being in readiness for the hour
of departure. That hour came when the
Elder arrived alongside the o. r. & y.
wharf. bound for Alaska Hornbaker was
then seen to 20 on board with packages
and baggage. but everyone thought he
was simply assisting several ladies who
we're known TO have passage on the boat
for the land Of gold. The real meaning
of hfs actions became known. however.
when a little later he boldly walked 10
the dock. in broad daylight. and crossed
the gangplank onto the steamer with the
object Of his adoratf0n on his arm. He
had apparently measured the time to a
nicety, for scarcely had he stepped on
board. when the gangplank Nas hauled
in. one short whistle was given. the lines
were cast loose. the big engines were
started and in less time than It takes
to tell It, the Elder was speeding along
her course 70 Alaska. Mr. Hornbaker
was last seen waving his hat and hand
kerchief to his friends on the dock. as II
happy with the thought that ne mad not
missed his chance. His friends left be-
hind gave vent to their feelings in huz-
zahs and 0well-wishes.
Mr.. Hornbaker was a young man Of
exceptional promise and gentle character
and his sudden departure was surprise
to all. Upon being questioned the firm
acknowledged that he had left rather
suddenly, having been in the store Eve
minutes before the steamer departed. and
that he had taken with him the FIRMS
TYPEWRITER.

The Republic of Central
America is the name of a new
government recently formed by
the ratification of a treaty be-
tween the five Central American
states, or Republics of Guate-
mala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua,
Honduras and Salvador, which
is to take effect September 10Th,
1897. The union is hereafter to
be known as the republic of
Central America, and the coun-
tries forming it are to take the
names of States. The republic
is to have the power to nominate
diplomatic and consular officers,
and to receive foreign ENJOYS
and give exequaturs to foreign
consuls, to issue passports to
ministers and ENJOYS of foreign
nations, and to withdraw ex-
equaturs of consuls.
The government of the new
republic is vested in a chief of
states, who is elected from each
of the states in this alphabetical
order, and shall hold office for
one year. A council, composed
of two representatives from each
state with the chief of states,
shall constitute the government.
Lines of defense and reservation
for all the states are provided,
and the expense of government
and of war are to be assessed by
the council.
