A-HUNTING OF THE BOY.
Wild Chase of Larry Sheehan After
Eddie Hall Campbell

Deputy Sheriff Larry Sheehan has
established his reputation as a foot
racer. He was called to Fourteenth
and Monroe streets yesterday afternoon
to arrest Eddie Hall Campbell a small
boy who had become incorrigible.
The boy had some inkling of what
was coming for when the deputy called
to him to come to the buggy, he start
ed to run.
Deputy Sheehan jumped out of the
buggy and started in pursuit across
lots. The boy ran to Euclid avenue,
where he turned west, and Deputy
Sheehan was steadily gaining on him.
Down Euclid avenue went the boy
and his pursuer, and people gathered to
watch the exciting race or Joined the
deputy in the chase. AS the boy near
ed the east gate of the fair grounds he
looked over his shoulder and saw the
officer at his heels. Then he threw him
self down upon the grounds and shout
ed:
IF you take me you will have to car
ry me"
Sheehan stood the boy up against a
telegraph pole and sent a man for the
buggy. When the vehicle arrived the
young prisoner was lifted into it, but
he fought like wild cat.
Before Probate Judge Dolman, Eddie
Hail refused to talk. He was asked to
sit down, but refused to do so, and was
said he could do nothing with him and
the papers were made out which will

Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev. F. L Bell, a highly esteemed
minister residing in Weedsport, Cayuga
Co, N Y, in a recent letter writes as
follows: There has never been any
thing that I have taken that has re-
lieved the dyspepsia from which 1 have
suffered for ten years except the new
remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's. Since taking them I have had no
distress at all after eating and again
after long years can sleep wells Rev
F. I. Bell, Weedsport. N. Y, formerly
Idalia, Colo"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
markabIe remedy, not only because it
is a certain cure for all forms of indi-
gestion, but because it seems to act as
thoroughly in other chronic cases of dys-
pepsia as well as in mild attacks of in
digestion or biliousness- A person has
dyspepsia simply because the stomach
is overworked, all it wants is a harm
food and thus give it the much needed
rest.
This is the secret of the success of
this particular remedy. No matter how
weak or how much disordered the di
gestion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given not only to the
stomach but to every organ and nerve
medicine will convince the most skepti-
cal that Dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. So popular has
the remedy become that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can now be obtained at
any drug store at so cents per package.

oRoKER LIKE GREELEY.
Advises Tammany to Let the Erring
Sisters Go.

New York, Oct 2O.-Richard Croker
spent a half hour at Tammany Hall
today. His views were asked on the
subject of disciplining certain old Dem
ocratic leaders in Kings county who
have threatened to cut Van Wyck. Mr..
Croker advised against action.
What's the use of interfering? he
said. IF they are angry, that would
make them angrier STILL
Speaking of some Tammanyites who
had had gone over to the Citizens I'm
ion. he said: 1T is singularly a fact
that men who are kicked out of Tam
many all become reformers"
Mr. Croker thought it a mistake to
bring speakers from outside of New
York to tell voters what they ought to
do in a municipal campaign.
Henry George was again in remfnis-
cent mood today. It grew out of an
alluSiOn to the question of Veracity
which has arisen between him and ex-
Comptroller Wins over the mayOralty
campaign of 1886 and related to the
part taken in that canvass by the Rev.
DR.. Edward McGlynn which resulted
in DR.. McGlynn's suspension from the
priestly Office.
Mr. George said that he went to
McGlynn.
The archbisop was very impatient, he
said, ''ard would not listen to my ex-
pIanation in which 1 tried to make
clear that I was not in any way an
tagonistic to the Catholics or the doe
trines of the Catholic church. He
would not listen. You know how these
people are. Tammany ran the arch
episcopal college at that time.

that he has probably landed in the

northern shores of America, or the Si-

In either case he would have to go
into winter quarters and await the
spring in order to be able to communi-

COSTS MONEY TO TALK.
Telephones are Eighty Dollars a Year
in Paris.

Washington, Oct. 20.-SeveraI reports
from Eugene German, written when
he was United States consul at Zurich,
Switzerland, have just been received at
the state department.
In one of these, relating to telephones
in France, Mr.. German says that coun-
try is but poorly equipped with this
modern means of communica ton. Tel
ephOnes are in 102 towns in France,
with 1881 subscribers, half of whom
are in Paris.
Switzerland, with barely one-tenth of
the population of France, has 29, ,533
subscribers. The cost of telephones in
the latter country is high being $50
a year in Paris, and $40 to $50 in other
places, and each subscriber contributes
toward obtaining connection with the
system.
In Switzerland in addition to the
charge of having an instrument put in
and connected, the charge is IS per year
and l cent for each conversation of
three minutes duration The govern
ment of Switzerland operates the teIe-
phone system.
Another report from Mr. Germain
says there was planted in sugar beets
in Europe in 1897, 1,492, $50 hectares
against /, ,534, 962 hectares in 1896. One
hectare is equivalent to 2.471 of our
acres.

There were five passengers of us to take
the train at Davisburg at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, but as the hour approached the
station agent got word that there had been
a smash up down the road and that we
would have three or four hours to wait.
He followed his information by saying in
the most courteous manner:
"Gentlemen, I have here copy of
Shakespeare, a volume of Longfel1ow and
two or three novels. win arrange chairs
for you on the shady side of the depot, and
you can sit and read. Here are cigars for
such as wish them
Our surprise was too great for utterance.
We smoked and read and wondered what
kind of q man we had met up with, and
at the end of an hour he came to us with
a pitcher of lemonade and said:
Gentlemen, it is hot day. Have some
lemonade, and here are a euchre deck and
table for such as would like to play cards. -
When he had gone, we canyassed his
strange conduct in whispers and almost
decided that he must be light in the head.
After half an hour or SO he reappeared and
smilingly said:
Gentlemen, Ihave heard from the train
You will have to wait full three hours
yet. There is to be funeral down here
about two blocks at O'Clock, and perhaps
you'd all like to go down and kill time. -
We thanked him kindly for his thought
fuIness, but none of us cared to go.
Would you care to go to a weddingP''
he continued.
We thought not and assured him that
we were doing well, but at the end of an
other half hour he said:
If you gentlemen would care to see a
dogfght to kill time and make things
pleasant, I will arrange one
We talked the matter over and decided
against it, but thanked him for his kind
intentions. When we had yet ar hour to
put in, the agent brought more lemonade
and cigars and said:

SKETCHES BYM.Q QUAD
When Ebenerer cams Home.


He was a tall, thin, redheaded man,
with bad bow to his back and four front
teeth missing, and found him resting on
log beside the highway. He got up as I
came along, and we passed the time of day,
and he said:

and I'll bet the whole crowd of 'em will

He added that it was only three miles
farther to his farm, and we walked along
together in general conversation for half
an hour, when he suddenly halted and
said:
''Mebbe they'll come to meet me and
mebbe they won't. The children probably
will, but the old woman may hang back

We went forward at a slow pace, and by

house. The others stood still and stared
and not a sign was given that they had
ever seen the man before.
