Bottled Up!

Whether in the form of pill powder
or liquid, the doctors prescription for
blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity OF the
joints give way to stiffness, the rack
ing pains Of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema-
turely take possession of the body, and
1t is but a short step TO a pair OF
crutches. Then comes falling OF
the hair and decay Of the bones, "a con

Yesterday morning a team OF horses
belonging 10 some agTiculturalist, came
down Fourth avenue al gait which
would do credit 10 a telegram. They
passed across Douglas avenue in about
two jumps and made more noise than a
ward heller at a primary. One horse
was a sorrel while the other was gray.
The wagon was an ordinary lumber
vehicle, and being light was a regular
picnic for the team
Passing on down Fourth avenue. they
ran west a couple cf blocks and turned
north on Topeka avenue. They were out
doing UP the town and no mistake. At
any rate they did 10 tie harness, did
cut the wagon. end did down one OF
the poles In the middle of the street on
Douglas avenue at the cc-ner Of Tope-

Of the alley ana as it did So Mrs. I'M
boden was directly in its path. The
horses checked up 10 avoid running into

was too heavy TO stop. The pole flew
up as the horses held back, and the end
OF the pole struck the hack Of the seat
within TWO inches Of the top, overturn-
ing the buggy and throwing the lady
out upon the paving.
Several persons were standing in the
immediate neighbortGod. and they rush

running away. Others took care OF the
lady, who was severely bruised but 9TH

BUTLER CASE IN COURT
Decision to be Made Concerning Fraudulent
Use of the Mails.

Yesterday afternoon IL the federal
court the case of ". ]. Perkins for using
the mails for fraudulent purposes was
heard.
The case is one IN which Perkins had
distributed circulars purporting 10 have
a compound, which if added to a quart
OF milk would make it produce a pound
OF butter, or if added 10 pound OF but
ter and a pint Of milk, two pounds of
butter would be obtained. A postoffice
inspector investigated the case. with the
result that Perkins was forbade the use
Of the mails.
Q. II. Bentley defended Perkins. Just
about two years ago he was UP for the
same thing. Whether or not butter
could be obtained from something con-
tanning no butter was a uooted point in
the case. The addition Of black pepsin
or ordinary pepsin which constituted the
major part OF rennet, would recover the
cheese in the milk, but not butter, and
this was discussed. The case was ar
gued and given TO the jury before ad-
iOurning last evening

BONES FOUND IN THE SAND
skeleton of Unknown Person Dug up
Near the Water Works

Out near the water works yesterday
a man by the name of Cassidy while
taking sand from a bank with a scraper
discovered a skeleton which had lain
about three feet below the surface. The
bones were no doubt all together until
disturbed by the work, and two scrapers
Of sand were removed before ne noticed
the bones. Gathering them together all
me bones of a compiete- skeleton were
found except one arm and part of the
other, and the lower jow.
Whom the person was to whom be-
longei this mysterious frame work con-
not of course even be surmised. None
Of the bones are broken and there are no
marks upon the skull which would sug-
gsst foul play. The bones are all sound
and firm and in color are yellow. The
teeth in the superior maxillary which
was found are all perfect and we'll form
81. save one which has a cavity in IL.
By the time the skeleton was dscov-
cred nothing definite concerning its ex-
act position was obtainable. No parts OF
either a box or any buttons which might
have been upon the clothing We're found.
The skeleton is not an old one but any
thing definite as 10 the length of time
the person has been dead is unootainabie.
The bones are strong and firm with no
approach upon crumbling, having not
even lost the color which was left upon
them by the decaying flesh All the
bones found are in good condition. but
became scattered before any attention
was paid TO them. and hence il took some
little trouble 10 get them all together ana
10 find what was missing. Murder will
out and this may lead 10 evidence con-
corning some mystery Of the past.
Nothing was known last night. however,
save what is stated above, and this is
all that can be said Of il al this time.
An imaginative mind. and no scruples
about sdhering 10 the truth, could easily
produce a thrilling story, but for the
sake OF truth nothing of this kind VIII
