Service Durin: the Civil War.
Cripple Creek, Colo, awakes to find
itself famous with Il grim and CHASTITY
fame. According to the official figures
of Coroner NARROW Of St. paSco County,
Cripple Creek is the deadliest SPOT on
earth. The total population Of Cripple
Creek is 5000 and there ar not over
$50 adult men. One adult man out Of
every six and half in Cripple Creek is
booked for a violent death within three
years and Il half.
Murder is Il commonplace and suicide
q conventional there. TO rival the leth-
al record of this wild western town
there would have to be go, 900 persons
murdered, self-killed or otherwise VIC
len1ly put TO death e Try three and a
half years in New York State.
Comparing the murder and suicide
figures given by Coroner NARROW With
those Of the whole United StateG the re-
suit is even more starting. There were
about 5000 murders in the entire "oun-
try last year. The total population of
the Uuu,d States IS about $4,000 600.
L llt III III ttl idlt, tHtl tIUIt, - dDpuL
one in every S,12J of the population per
annum. Cripple Creeks murd rate is
II to 5000 annually. At the killing
pace set in this American slaughter
house there would be 15I 900 murders
every year In the United States instead
Of 5000. Coroner NARROW says nobody
has been either hanged judiciously or
;,iD 70 Of II II. -
dey5 committed in Cripple Creek since
January, 1894.
The suicide returns Of this bad town
compare with those Of the whole coun-
try with equally startling effect. The
number of suicides reported in the Unit
ed States averages about 400 per year.
At the Cripple Creek rate Of 13 suicides
per year in a population of 5000 the
annual number of suicides in the Unit
Ell States would be about 10000.
1t was far safer to be in the ranks of
the Union army during our great civil
wa" than TO live in Cripple Creek to-
day In the bloody battle of that four
years strife fewer men were killed rel
atiyeIy to the number engaged than
have died by some form of violence or
other in Cripple Creek in the past three
and a half years The total number of
Union soldiers killed on the battlefield
Of our great civil war was 67,O5S. The
total number Cf Union soldiers engag ed
in those battles was 1896, $50. The ratio
of men killed on the field, therefore, 70
the total number engaged was Il Dout
one in every 81 in four years The Grip
pie Creek ratio of killed is POI to 5000

A FORTUNE IN FLOUR.
History of old California Days May

The Chilli Flour COmpany'S venture
of 1880 may be repeated in the case of
Klondike, says Westerner. At that
time | had a kinsman, William &.
Moorhead, who was United States CON
sui at Valparaiso, in Chilli. His CON
Sulate. previous to the rush of the gold
seekers to California, was worth less
than $4,000 a year. The ships that sailed
around Cape Horn all stopped at Val
paraiso TO take in provisions and water.
The fees increased his income so that
it reached $4,000 per annum. Mr..
MOOrhoad was Il man Of affairs. He
had been a merchant IN New York be-
fore he was n consul. He saw his OPP
pOrtunity. He consulted with Mr.. Wad-
dington and Mr.. Whitehead, who Were
English merchants in Valparaiso. They
formed a company; each put in $4,000
capital. Mr.. Moorhead then rode some
hundreds Of miles down the coast to
the -four mills at Conception. and made
a contract to take al their output for

AN AMBITIOUS GIRL.
From the Np,r +,

From the Ne,r Era, Greensburg, Ind
This paper recently received informa-
tion that the ten-year-old daughter of Mr..
Nj. Rybolt, of Huntsville, Ind, had been
cured of a severe illness. The case seem
ed more than an ordinary one, and conse-
Quently special representative was sent
to investigate
The Kybolts are well-to-do farmers llv-
ing about two miles southwest of Harris
vile. When the reporter called Mr. ana
Mrs. Rybolt and their daughter in ques-
ton, Louise, were at home, also the other
three children. Louise is the oldest. She
had been going to school for four years,
and was formerly in very good health, but
for the past year or more she has been Ill.
A year ago the present winter 1t was
noticed that she was breaking down III
health. For n time the cause could not
be ascertained, but it was finally decided
that 1t was from oyer-Study. 1t has al
ways been the ambition of Louise TO cdu-
cate herself as soon as possible. tor she
was anxious to graduate from the com
mon branches early, and to enter college
OF music, which her parents promised she
could do as soon as she should finish the
common branches.
How many children by diligent study
TO achieve their ambitions are lnJurlng

child studied hard all day and often far
into the night. and had won the respect
and admiration of her teacher and OF al
the school by her aptness, ana RAPID
learning.
For some time Louise experienced an
lndlsposltlon which she would not make
known TO her parents, tor lear lhey Would
nave her remain from school Her mead
ache soon became unpndurable and was
noticed by her teacher. She had by this
time grown pale and weak.
One day she became suddenly sick at
school, and was taken home.
FOR several weeks she suffered from Il
fever, and the physicians could not rally
her. A neighbor urged them to try Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
which they finally did with splendid re-
suits. Louise began getting better at
once, and by the time She had consumed
ten boxes of the pills she was cured
