DANIEL BOONE.
a Spanish subject-CowlnR a Young
Desperate.
KANOAO.

a Dpan1Bh SubJect-CoWinR Young
Desperate.
About the year 1897 the old pioneer
Daniel Boone went over into Missouri
and settled in what was known as the
Femme Usage Dosage Woman settle
ment, says the st. Louis Republic. This
was on the Missouri river, in the dis
trlct of st. Charles, about forty-fve
miles west OF st. Louis and about TWEEN
ty-hve miles above the town OF st..
Charles This portion Of Missouri was
then wild and picturesque-just such a
country as he loved.
Soon after his arrival In Missouri
Daniel Boone Ienounced his allegiance
10 the government Of the United States
and became a Spanish subject. On
June II, 1900, Delassus appointed him
commandant, or syndic, Of the Femme
Usage district, position which he ac-
cepted. The Office was both civil and
military. In time of peace he acted as
an adjudicator or Judge over the peo-
pie in his district and in time Of war
he was their commander
The matters on which he had to pass
judgment were such as required hon
esty and practical common sense rath-
er than knowledge of law. He was
fearless and upright in his decisions.
On one occasion a desperate who had
been terrorlzing the people Of the
Femme Usage district was publicly rep
rimanded by Boone. The man, who
prided himself on his power to over
awe the people, cried out:
IF you were not an old man / should
not take that from you"
"You are a great coward" responded
Boone, shaking his cllnched fist close
to the mans face; III you want to get
revenge on me for what / have said
don't let my gray hairs stand in the
way. Old as am, am young enough
to whip you" Quite crestfallen, the
fellow skunk away and was never again
heard to say anything against the Odd
pioneer.

Exposure to Disease

Does not necessarily mean the con- traction of disease provided the system is in 8 vigorous condition, with the blood pure and all the organs in healthy action. When in such con dition contagion is readily resisted and the disease germs can find no lodgment. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best medicine to build up the system because it makes pure, rich blood, and pure blood is the basis of good health In cold weather it is especially neces- sary to keep up the health tone be- cause the body is subjsct to greater exposure and more liable to disease Hoods Sarsaparilla is the safeguard of health.

The Greatest Monarch

Is a fit subject for pity if he is troubled with dyspepsia, while his poorest sub- feet who digests properly may well be envied by a prince thus afflicted. The dyspepsia of every cline and nation owe debt of gratitude to Hostetters' Stomach Bitters, which rescues them from one of the most obstinate and troublesome complaints against which medical skill is directed. On this continent, in Europe and the tropics, this sterling remedy is pre-eminently and justly popular, not only as a stomachic, but also as means of pre- venting and curing malariaP rheu- matic, kidney, bilious and nervous disorders. It improves appetite and sleep, hastens cOnvalescence and the acquisition of vigor after exhausting maladies, and counteracts the in- firmities of age. A wineglassful taken before retiring has a tendency to promote tranquil, health yielding sleep, boon much coveted by nervous invalids.

DUG A FEW FEET OF FUNNEL
Prisoners Make a FOOihardy Attempt
 to Escape.

Monday afternoon uperintendent Nugent of the Territorial prison was informed that the prisoners employed in the work shops on the north side of the prison proper had all but ex- cavated tunnel leading under the north wall of the onyx room and across a vacant space of some ten feet to the main wall of the prison. This wall is nine feet on the base and >iS built of rock several feet high when abohes are used to complete the wall, which ig some 9 feet high.
 A row of chests lineI three sides of the onyx room and a number of these had been filled with the dirt taken out of the tunnel. On digging into the prison wall a couple of feet an up- ward shoot was made and the adobes reached. When discovered only few feet of adobes kept the prisoners, in tsrested in making their escape, from liberty.
 Had the prisoners accomplished what they had labored for so long and reached tue open air they would have stood in front of tbe Superintendent's ofhce and two guard stations one on the northwest corner of the prison wall and one on the northeast side of the wall and not 30 feet away from the small guard house at the main en- trance to the prison yard. All these places have guards on duty constantly One guard could have killed every prisoner who came out and have had time to smoke Q cigarette between acts and the other guards could have stood calmly by and now and then taken a shot at their up Colorado river mark. We consider it one of the most fool hardy attempts at prison delivery ever read, heard of or seen and as we surveyed the place yesterday, calmly and deliberately, we wondered if the convicts incarcerated therein were fools enough to dig so many weary weary days, to gain their liberty and know they would come out directly in line with the three armed guards and clear space of nearly one hundred yards square.
