Kral at once scented blood and went his
new-found friend one better. He had
killed a man, concealed his crime, and was
then for the first time breathing his life
secre. into mortal ears. Unfortunately,
however, for Anton, who is usually d
quiet, orderly and well-behaved mechanic,
save and alone when he comes to town FOR
the purpose OF celebrating, he laid the scene
OF his tragedy at no greater distance from
Washington, tnan Montgomery county,
near Rockville.
That was the one weakness in Anton's
pot, and it possibly led to bis arrest.
Had he pictured his ragedy in the Neither

some distant cannibal island, he might
have been spared the embarrassment of
occupying a station-bouse cell.

COLD IN THE HEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling OF the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves Of Smell. This organ is long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 3 When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it Is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into a solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. TheCatarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. Ths pus from these ulcers Is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface Of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonslls have
become q corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves thevhole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t viii be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat Of the disease
between these folds OF the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.

Boston, Aug. 90. Because Of President
soden's failure to appear and go bail for
him, j. Earl Wagner, president OF the
Washington Baseball Club, spent all OF
Wednesday night ia the Charles street
jail.
A New York printer was the cause OF al
the trouble, He had bill for $500. con
tracted for by Gus Schmelz and Tin Muir
ply, the actor, when they took out the III
fatec Texas Steer Company last sea
son. which was supposedly backed by the
Wagner brothers. Failing to get either
money OF satisfaction out OF Schmeiz or
Murphy, the printer attached the gate re-
ceipts of Wednesdays game.
AS Wagner was about to leave the State
the deputy sheriff serving the warrant In
sisted upon Wagner accompanying him
to Sheriff o'Brien's office. Wagner dp-
pealed TO President Soden or the Bostnn
Club, who told the officer that he would
be responsible for Wagner's appearance
In court
Surprising his word to be enough, Soden
failed to visit the sheriff soffice. Wagner was
first taken to the courthouse, and as Soden
did not appear he went to the Charles street
jail. kilograms and telephone messages
were sent to Sodens house in Newton. but
as his family are away the Boston magnatc
is stopping in the city, and knew nothing
of wagner's trouble until reaching the of
flee yesterday morning. Wagner, with
ST. 800 and the steamboat tickets for the
team In Ills pocket, paced the corridors or
the Jail all night long, and it was not until
after 9 O'Clock yesterday morning that he
was released.
Maguate Wagner had not arrived in
town this morning, but was expected to
be on hand at the afternoon game, coming
to town about 1:30 p. IN. over the Balti-
more and Ohio. Capt. Robb, however, u u
dertook to explain matters as they are
understood by him and Capt. Wagner.
Capt. Robb said that by no kind Of
equity could Mr.. Wagner be held respon
sible for the alleged debt, and that there
was no court in the country which, ha wing
heard the facts, would decide against Mr..
Wagner. As matter of fact, said Capt.
Robb, Mr.. Wagner would spend Laillion
dollars before he would submit to being
imposed on, even in the small matter OF
the amount of this bill. The bill ao-
crued, he said, at the time that Mr.. Schrne,z
was managing "A Texas Steer" for Tim
Murphy, and Mr.. Wagner was doing his
share, and only a certain share, for the
performance. He had tried to be kind
to Mr.. Murphy, and kept the play going
largely for tina treason.
The debt, Capt. Robb contends, for Mr..
Wagner. is due by Tim Murphy, and not by
Mr.. Wagner. He believed that the Poston
story about the imprisonment Of Mr.. wag-
ner may be all right. allowing for the
exaggerations.
