STONE IN HER STOMACH.
From the Gazette, Biandinsville, Ill.

From the Gazette, Blandinsville. Ill.
The wife of the Rev. A. X. Adams, pastor
of the Bedford Christian Church at Blan-
dinsville, ILL.,, was for years compelled to live
a life of torture from disease. Her case baf-
fled the physicians, but to-day she is alive
and well, and tells the story of her recovery
as follows:
About six years ago." said Mrs. Adams,
II weighed about lao pounds, but my
health began to fail and / lost flesh. My
food did not agree with me and felt like a
stone in my stomach | began to bloat all
over until thought had dropsy.
II had pains and soreness in my left side
which extended clear across my back and
also into the region of my heart. During
these spells hard ridge would appear in
the left side of my stomach and around the
left side.
"These attacks left me sore and exhausted.
All last summer / was so nervous tina. the
children laughing and playing nearly drove
me wild. | suffered also from female
troubles and doctored with ten different
physicians without receiving any help.

EULATE KILLED HIS SAILORS.
Commander of the yizcaya Said to Have
Murdered 40 Men who Refused to
Stand by Their Guns.

Annapolis, Md, July % Capt. Eulate
adheres to his original objection and re-
fuses to sign the parole agreement.
He is gloomy and morose, associating
little if any with his brother officers.
A bit of gossip went the rounds which,
if true, may account for the gloom
which envelopes the commander of
the pride of the Spanish navy. 1t is
said that Eulate shot and killed about
40 of the men on the Vizcaya on the
day of the battle because they refused
to stand by their guns. A Spanish
seaman who is serving as valet to one
of the Spanish officers is said to be au-
thority for the statement.

CHAPTER Y.

l ushered the old lawyer into the
room. After a few commonplace re-
marks he said: THAT walling-up of
those cellar doorways has made quite
an impression on me. Suppose we
have look at them"
was very willing. Together we de-
scended the stairs to the storeroom.
Mr.. Sonntag examined the place
where the door had been, minutely,
as though he expected to find in the
stones of the wall some intimation of
what was on the inside. He even went
so far as to scratch off patches of the
whitewash.
1T is rather dark here" he finally
said, glancing around.
Perhaps the door can be opened"
suggested.
81 have the key with me, but maybe
it would be best not to use it. Give me
a few matches"
handed him all had with me, and
he, by the light afforded, examined
closely the places where he had
scratched off the whitewash.
While watching him, the thought
again occurred TO Inc lnau L nau seen OF
met him previous to my arrival at Nell
sonville.
'Do you know it seems as though
had seen you before?" l said.
"Yes, so you remarked during your
visit to my Office yesterday" Sonntag
replied, as he stepped back to where l
was standing.
"There is no doubt of that being a
solid WALL" he went on; $50 if the
room behind it is being used for some
purpose, entrance is not gained from
here. See what pains have been taken
to hide the work. The whole wall has
been newly whitewashed. If that had
not been done, the new mason-work
would be glaringly perceptible. Let us
go into the house cellar and have a
look at the dividing wall there"
1t needed but a glance to see that this
wall had not been tampered with. The
whitewash was old, and there was no
spot where it had been renewed.
II have already examined the out
side place." the old lawyer remarked,
as we ascended the stairway.
"That was not whitewashed. and, if
1 remember rightly, the stones used
looked old and worn like the rest Of the
foundation" / said.

light here the garret was flooded by
binding glare, and Immediately fol-
lowed crash on crash close above me.
Stunned by the noise and too dazed
for the moment to realize that 1he
threatening storm had burst, feebly
tottered toward the stairs and sank
down upon the top step.
The rain was coming down in tor
rents and the roar on the roof seemed
but an echo of the thunder. l was soon
able to arouse myself from my dazed
condition, and, remembering the OBJ
iect of my errand, went back to the
spot where had stood TO recover the
paper and pencil, which had fallen
from my hands. There was no desire to
continue investigations while the storm
lasted; so, picking up the paper l
fastened downstairs to my room.
l notices strange odor as l went
through the doorway, and saw Sonntag
standing in the middle of the room in
a strange attitude. The pencil he had
used was still in his hand. but the paper
had fluttered TO the floor.

my approach, 1 tapped him on the arm

naval yictory-that at Manzanillo-

son:

the Scorpion and Osceola the mid-channel and
the Hist Hornet and Wnmpatuck the south
channel, the movements OF the vessels being

range OF the shipping Mt about the same mo-
ment
At T:50 fire was opened on the shipping. and
after q deliberate fire. lasting about 2n hours,
three Spanish transports, FL Gloria Jose Gar

and destroyed The pontoon which was the
harbor guard and store ship probably for am
munition was burned and blown up Three
gunboats were destroyed one other was
driven ashore and sunk and O fifth was driven
ashore and is believed to have been disabled
The firing was maintained at a range which

No casualties occurred on board any OF our

the fire that as little damage as possible

could be observed, little. II any was done

flash of his bright eyes which told me
he had recovered from the effects of
the shock.
'"Then you did not take any note of
the voice?" / remarked.
Eyes, yes. Here it is; and you ?-ah,
that's good. Now let us compare"
The two slips of paper were laid on
the table. "The first words taken note of
on my paper" Sonntag began, "are, you
have my-then pause, and yours are:
Never will. Ali" he exclaimed, in deep
satisfaction, they seem to run along

Fright here is where the shock
came" l said, after reading the last
phrase. "Of course took no more
notes after that. Have you any more ?"
"No. The flame came, and l got no
further" Sonntag answered. This
certainly is curious. There seems to be
a complete circuit formed somehow, or,
more properly, two circuits; when one
is closed the other is opened by that
closing, and vice versa"
While making the foregoing remark
the old fellow was leaning over the
table, intently scanning the two papers.
"You say a fame shot out into tho
room?" / asked.
"Yes."
From where?"
Between the window and chimney, il

ing his head.

There was large nail sticking in the
vail, which had been covered with
whitewash. A flannel coatsvhich l had
hung on the nail the night before was
now lying on the floor, charred ruin.
The nail itself was blackened, and
was quite hot, as contact with my
fingers told me.

fear that each time she saw me would
