An Old Settler.

When the rheumatism first pre-
empts certain tracts of your anat-
omy it may be ousted easily, but
when it becomes an old settler it is
pretty hard to bulge. Remember
this when you experience the first
twinges of this obstinate and agon-
izing disease, and attack it with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t will
then "make tracks," and possibly
leave you unmolested and in peace
able possession of your own comfort
in the future. Peril always attends
rheumatism, if it become chronic,
on account of its tendency to at
tack the heart. Usually it is COM
picated with kidney trouble Ger
tain it is that the kidneys, when
aroused by the Bitters, will elimi-
nate impurities which give rise to
rheumatism and dropsy. In inclem-
ent or wet conditions of the wealth
er, the Bitters, taken in advance,
will often avert rheumatic trouble.
Use this genial family medicine for
dyspepsia, biliousness, headache
and constipation.

A BIG FISH STORY.

William L, Stone, of Mt. Vernon,
Tex, tells a fish story that may
win for him the belt. He says:
while vessel was sailing on the
Gulf of Mexico having on board
two passengers, father and son, the
former died on the voyage. In bur.
ylng the body at sea an AK and
grindstone, among other articles
were put into the sack that the
body might sink the more quickly.
Scarcely, however, had the sack
been launched over the vessel when
the son, frantic with grief, plunged
overheard and at once sank. Mean
while, on the following day the sail
ors caught a huge "mau-eating
shark" that had been following the
vessel for several days, as is its hab-
it when there is sickness on board.
While it was lying on deck one of
the sailors heard peculiar sound
proceeding from the carcass, and
on cutting it open, what was the
amazement of the crew to find the
son turning the grindstone while
the father was sharpening the ak
preparatory to cutting their way
out into daylight 1t appears that
the father had only beenin a trance,
and both had been swallowed by
the shark"

Death of fMrs. Della Collins.

Mrs. Della Collins of Ft. Worth,
Tex, died as the old year was breath
ing its last, and the New Year was
being ushered into existence. She
was the founder and president of
the Woman's home, at Fort
Worth. Mrs. Collins was &C
years OF age. She died at the
residence OF her son. She died from
LaGrippe, and lived only few days
after contracting the disease.
The labors of Mrs. Collins in Cos
pei and home work we're of great
magnitude. She was in this city
some time since, addressed an
audience at the Cumberland Pres
byterian church, and made many
friends here, who will regret to
hear of her demise.
The Home at Fort Worth, will
continue under its present manage
ment. 1t is an honor to its founder
and heretofore supporter, Mrs Col
Inns.

LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
A Third Man Shot, hut Not Fatally
Victims Were John Mitchell and
Jack COHman-MOb Num-
bered Only Twenty
Other Crimes.

Mountain Grove, No, May 19.-(SpecialD
A few miles north of this city, last right,
u mob Of about twenty persons visited the
home of one Mayfeld and, not finding the
party there whom they sought set the
house afire. Mayfeld saved his house by
hard work. The same mob then visited the
house of John Mitchell. Finding the house
securely fastened, they commenced firing
at the outside. This aroused Mitchell his
brother Dave and Jack COffman, their
step-brother.
Mitchell, knowing the intentions Of the
mob. started to get his pistols, but was
riddled with bullets before he could reach
them. Coffman was also shot to death
before he could get out of bed. Dave Mitch
ell was shot through the head and arm,
and escaped death only by having his
brother Johns lifeless body between him
and the window through which the mob
was firing.
That John Mitchell's wife and children
escaped death is almost miraculous, as the
wall behind the bed upon which they were
lying was filled with shot of all kinds.
1t is alleged that the Mitchell brothers
and Coffman belonged to band OF thieves.
and the mob took this method of getting
rid of them. The community is highly ex-
cited over the affair and it is thought there
will be more trouble.
Dave Mitchell acknowledged to-day that
he and his brother had been taken out and
severely whipped by band of White Caps
only a few nights ago and that they had
been warned to leave the country. Last
nights work was the result of their not
taking this advice.

SPLENDID SHOWING.
NATIONAL BANKS OF KANSAS CITY

STATEMENTS TO COMPTROLLER

The statements Of the national banks of
showing. Notwithstanding the banks are
working under more conservative, and
consequently more healthy, policy. they
have done an increased business since their
last statements IN March, and are doing
much better than a year ago. While there
is one national bank less than in May, 1886,
and two less than before the panic of 1895
there now being but eight instead of ten
Cthc National Bank of Kansas City and
the Missouri National being out of exist
ance), there has been no time before in
the history OF the city when the banks
have shown so much business and so much
strength as now.
Deposits show a gain of S1,4i4167 within
the past two months. and 1854, ,302 as COM
pared with May, 1896. Loans are 81 i96, ,0SS
larger than in March, but S623. l6S lighter
than in May. 1896. The cash and exchange
account is also a strong one, there be-
ing now in the banks $2.96S, 1863 more money
than a year ago, and S95.S32 more than at
the time of the March statement.
The total resources reach S29, ,323, ,271. an in
crease of 241O,SS9 as compared with May,
last year. and $1613,517 more than at the
date Of the March statement-a showing
that cannot fail to arrest the attention of
every thoughtful man, and must prove
surprise to many, considering the entire
absence of speculation this spring. and that
these gains have all been made through
perfectly legitimate trade. The following
compilation shows the condition of the
different hanks.

JAPANESE TOWN WIPED OUT.
Nearly Four Thousand Houses Burned
and Between Forty and Fif-
ty Lives Lost.

Victoria, British Columbia, May 19.-The
steamer Empress of India, from YOkO-
hama, brought news of a fire which COM
pletely wiped out the town of Hochioji. in
the silk district of Japan. Nearly 4O0O
houses were destroyed and between forty
and fifty lives lost. All the houses were
frail wooden structures, and the fire took
but a short time to sweep the town, giving
the helpless members of the community
little chance to escape.
The fire started at p. m. and by p. m.
there was very little to show that there
had been such a town as Hochioii
Regarding this and other fires the Yoko-
hama Herald remarks.
80 long as the Japanese adhere TO build
ing their houses of wood these catastrOphes
will continue to be common. Moreover the
natives are extremely careless with fire
and the almost universal use of kerosene
too often put into lamps of faulty and
dangerous construction, serves to increase
the number of conflagrations."

San Francisco Woman Connects Pas

Williams Murder

San Francisco, May ia very important
witness in the Minnie Williams case was
discovered yesterday in Mrs. Schweitzer
She positively affirms that on April y, 1895,
the day before the body of Minnie Williams
was found in the Emanuel Baptist church.
she saw the unfortunate girl with the Rev.
George J. Gibson, on the Alameda ferry
boat. coming to this city. She says her at
tel on was attracted to the person whom
she identifies as the Rev. Mr. Gibson be-
cause of his clerical appearance. and the
1urther TACT that he carried the girls bas-
ket and seemed very solicitous for her well
fare
Although Mrs. Schweitzer is a resident of
this city, and for the past two years has
been aware Of the fact that Theodore Dur
rant Is accused of the murder of Minnie
Williams, her reluctance to have her name
involved in the notorious case i'm any man
ner has prevented her from appearing un-

testimony would not be necessary. hut

twenty years ago Spain had said there
might be circumstances under which she
would accept mediation. And IT the facts
claimed by the senator from Ohio were
true. II must seem to him that the golden
hour had arrived.
Mr.. Hoar called attention to n statement
in Secretary Olney's letter which Mr. For
aker had not read. that the war was con-
Quoted by the insurgents not by pitched
battles, but by applying the torch to plan
tations and striving to starve out the Span
ard business.
If 1t was true that insurgents we're

citize rs, was it a violation of the rules
OF war that they We're banshed or pun

he did not know whether IL a Cuban or
an American citizen were caught red

put to death. Federal soldiers hal been
executed in the American rebellion after
trial by drumhead court-martial for burn

Spain to pay.

YOUTH AND $4,000 MISSING.
The Nineteen-Year-OId Messenger of
n Boston Bank DISAPPEARED
Yesterday

Boston, Mass, May 19.-Albert NJ. King,
a 19-year-old messenger of the BoyIston
National bank, is missing, together with
about $4,000 in cash and A Sln600 United
States certificate. not negotiable except be-
tween banks. King started for the clear
ing house at IJ:ij this morning to 5etlIe
the balance against the bank, and. on the
way according 10 instructions. transacted
other business involving something like
$4,000. As he did not return to the bank
by l o'clock, the officials grew anxious and
made search for the messenger, beside
notifying the police but up to the present
hour they have been unable to ascertain
his whereabouts. King has been employed
at the Boylston bank about two years
coming highly recommended, and his
honesty was never questioned. He has
carried much as 100000 of the banks
money at time on previous occasions and
has never lost a dollar. He lived with his
father, who is employed by the South End
National bank.
