AGE N

A St. Louis Judge, Valiant by name,
and assuredly valiant by nature, has
definitely and comprehennvely decided
q case OF fair May and hoary December.
The substance Of his proposition IL
embraced In the following statement (;
When an old man marries a young wo-
man, IL is plain to everyone but himself
that he does a very foolish thing, and the
degree Of his folly Is In proportion to the
disparity In their ages. And when the old
man 10 rich and the young woman 10 poor,
the motive for tho marriage on her part
can scarcely escape discussion among their
acquaintance.
Two distinct propositions are here
laid down by the learned Judge; One
is the broad and unequivocal conclu-
sion that an old man who marries q
young woman Is . fool, and the older
the foo, the greater the folly.
The second proposition is that when
the old man is ROB and the young NO.
man Is poor, The motive OF the marriage
can scarcely escape discussion among
their acquaintances. These PROPOSE.
tions will be pretty generally accepted
Now, il we could get a judicial
estimate of the young mar who kills
himself for love of a m as many
years his senior as his W age mum
bers, and Of another adolescent who
takes the witness stand to boast Of hi
success 10 an affaire d'amour, wherein
the dead youth failed-all with \ wo
man, the multitude Of whose years II
perhaps her least Objectionable attri-
bute-legal status would be given to a
precious a pair of fools CO yer chase,
folly with eminent success.

The trial of Dr. Carrie johnson, Of
Pueblo, Colo, for murder, has JUS
closed. The jury found a verdict
against her of murder in the second
degree. The punishment for this crime
is from ten years to a life imprison-
inert. Sentence has not yet been
passed by Judge Dixon, as Mrs. john
sons attorneys have filed a motion for
a new trial; meanwhile the fair doctor
languishes in Jail, as her case, having
been acted on by a jury, is not a baila-
Bile one. Mrs. johnson made a strong
fight for liberty, but the evidence
against her was too strong to admit of
any other finding, than that given by
the Jury.

Another La Cerda Is Exciting People
in a New Mexico Mining District.

-
From the Chloride Black Range.
Two weeks ago, the Black Range
spoke OF a stranger who had appeared
IN u camp, and who had been seen at
different times In earnest conversation
with two of our prominent miners, but
all efforts thus far have failed to dis
cover his identity; further than that he
is a Russian, a man of rank. The two
gentlemen seen in company Of the
mysterious man are very reticient re-
gardipg the whole affair and claim to
know nothing of the Russians present
whereabouts. The Black Range,
however, has learned from . reliable
source that a foreigner is here to in.
vestigate the truthfulness OF certain old
church records wherein 1t is averred
that the Spaniards worked a fabulously
rich mine somewhere in the Black
Range not tar from Chloride, and that
vast sums OF both gold and silver were
shipped to Spain from the property
The most important part OF the whole
affair is thst a large amount OF very
rich ore is said to have been put into
leather. sacks and stored 10 the recesses
Of the mine for safe keeping until the
return of the S~paniards from Old
Mexico, but that during their absence
on the trip the Indians and slaves
rebelled and they were never again
able to return to the mine.
Speculation is rife among those on
the inside IS to the location Of the
wonderful mine which for so many
years has been lost sight of and yet all
the time within easy reach of this city.

For your Protection -Catarrh "Cures" o,
Tonicsfor Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury OF
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious If too long taken. Catarrh is a local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
