The Gold Mine Bank has moved all
the gold dust and nuggets from it's
vaults to the woOdshed and is now stOr-
ing such valuable articles as beans,
dOughnuts, canned goods, ETC., therein.
Some miscreant with the roaring red
hot furnaces of hell staring him in the
face broke into the mission building
Sunday night and robbed the cOntribu-
ton box of a paltry $4,000 worth of
gold dust which had been contributed
that day TO the fund for founding an
asylum for delirium tremens sufferers.
If discovered the measly skulking CO.
vote will be hung in front of the Limbo
saloon, in accordance with a promise
made Aurora BILL the proprietor.
that the next necktie party should be
held in front of his place.
Yesterday was a magnificent day.
The thermometer rose to $50 below zero
and everybody took advantage of the
pleasant weather to lay in a new supply
of firewood.
There has been a great and much
needed improvement made at the post
office. Dawson DAM our hustling
postmaster, has put in a number of
boxes, and the mail will now be regu-
larly distributed and handed out when
called for. This is a great deal more
convenient than the old method of
dumping If into q crackor harraI oDd
letting everybody hunt out his own.

tiful foot and ankle, and l, agile though
1 was, could hardly keep up with her.
Painting with eXertion, at last we
reached the top of the plateau, which
overlooked the town, and my guide
gracefully waved her hand toward a
light, like a star in the distance, and
murmured:
"Ahi esta la casa (Yonder is the
house,.
At that moment the moon sank be-
hind a mass of black clouds and every
thing became dark about us; but my
guide, pressing her little palm into
mine, advanced steadily toward the
light. Everything was as still as the
dead and a damp and chilly mist pene-
trated my very marrow.
AS the noon shone out in radiant
beauty, my blood for a moment seemed
to freeze in my veins, for there, before
me, cleaning brightly in the moonlight,
and winding like a serpent among the
doddering crosses and mouldering
graves Of the Pantheon, vas the path
that led to our destination.
The low-lying wall of the Pantheon
lay directly in front of me, and my
guide quickly tripped up the steps
which led over it, reckoning for me to
follow. Though loath to go further,
yet the wondrous beauty Of the girl
held me as in a spell, and step by step

Of police"
Bright and early next morning (for
we got but little sleep that night we
repaired to the chief of police, and to
him / told my tale, Henderson acting
as interpreter.
The chief was very much surprised
and pleased by my information, and
after cautioning us to keep silent, dis
missed us by saying wed hear from
him in a few days"
Two days later the foreign element
of the city was thrilled by another atrs-
cious murder. This time it was a rich
young Englishman, named Burton, who
had come down from Lima to visit
some friends, and who, after spending
the evening with them, left about II
o'clock for his hotel, which was only
two blocks away. Next morning his
body, robbed Of all his valuables and
papers, vas found, floating in the bay,
with a gaping dagger wound in the
back.
Burton's friends, who were rich and
influential backed by the British Con-
sui, made a vigorous attack upon the
supine methods Of the police, and at
last aroused the authorities to some
thing like activity. Following up the
clew received from me, the "Jefe'' took
a personal interest in the matter, and,
within a few days, succeeded in cap
turing the gang, which consisted of five
persons-the girl, who was used as a
decoy-and four men. 1t was estimated
that more than two score foreigners
had been murdered by this gang during
the eighteen months of their sinister
operations. At the trial Burton's wal
let and passport, found in the robbers
rendezvous, convicted the men, and my
Identification of the girl completed the
case. The men were sentenced, and,

trial. The girl, owing to her youth and
beauty, was sent to finish her days in
the penal colony at San Carlos.

MEAT NOT NECESSARY.
Its Too Generous Use Breaks Down
Americans in Middle Life.

americans III Middle Life.
Mrs. S. I. Rorer writes on do We
Eat Too Much Meat?" III the Ladies'
Home Journal, answering her own
query attirmatively. Meat she as
serts, sis not at all necessary to a per-
feet existence. Most people, however,
look upon it rs though it formed the
only food upon which they could work,
and yet many great athletes have never
touched it. Meat, after it enters the
stomach and is digested, may be in-
furious, but for all this the ordinary
American has made up his mind that
lean meat gives him less trouble than
any other food. so he takes it in large
quantities, invariably breaking down
at middle life with just such diseases
as come from the Oyer-lse OF concen-
trated heterogeneous foods. Children fed
on beef jui:e and heel soups, with white
ore al, lose the various salts necessary
to he building of bones, teeth and mus
Gle, and the soda for the blood. The
outer part of the wheat, which is SO
rich in these earthly salts, is cast aside.
SO that the child in growing gets weak
bone structure as a frame for its lean
flesh. The Stalwart mel of Scotland
find that pG1ridge and milk contain all
the muscle, bone and nerve food nee
eSsary for an active existence.

the other hand, forms an accumulation

Potash Salts for Manure Heaps,

Some of the potash salts which con-
tain potash that is not caustic are ex-
cellent 10 apply to fermenting manure
heaps. They will absorb the ammonia,
and as they attract moisture from the
air. they will help prevent the manure
from being wasted by fire-fanging. The
combination of ammonia from ferment-
ing with potash makes a nj
trate OF potash, which is one of the
most stimulating fertilizers known for
all kinds of vegetation.

OFFICIAL CHANGES
To BE Made by the Board of Penitentiary
Managers at the Meeting on Tuesday
Guards TO be Removed.

COLUMBUS, o., May 3.-The board OF
penitentiary managers will convene
Tuesday and make several official
changes. DIR. ID. G. Sanor, Of Carroll
county, will be elected assistant prison
physician, to succeed DR.. c. w. Thsrp,
resigned. The new assistant physician
owes his appointment to Representa-
tive Rutan, of Carroll, who was one of
the leading supporters of the state ad-
ministration in the last legislative ses-
sion.
Either Chief Clerk C. B. Shock, of
the warden's Office, or Prof. Daniel
Morgan, superintendent of the prison
schools, will be deposed, and a new
man elected to one or the other posi-
tion. This action is because both
of these gentlemen are from Pick
away county, which, it is claimed, has
more than its share of representation
among the institutions officials. The
probability is that Mr.. Shook will be
allowed to remain, and Prof Morgan
compelled to resign, in which event G.
w. Calderwood, of Greenville, Darke
county, will be elected prison school
master. An effort is being made to
have Prof. Morgan taken care of in an
other capacity.
The penitentiary managers were in
conference with Gov. Bushnell at the
statehouse until late hour Monday
night, and it now leaks out that the
changes to be made at this session OF
the board will be more sweeping than
was supposed. Not less than so guards
will be removed.

Mysterious Death of a Medium.

WEST LIBERTY, O., May S.-Mrs. Jen-
ME Van Vinkle, aged SO, a spiritual
istic medium, died very suddenly.
She was ailing during the night and
was found by her husband lying
unconscious on the floor with a
mediums trumpet in her hand.
AS she had often fallen in frances
during spiritual excitement he thought
nothing unusual had happened until
he noticed that she had ceased to
breath. 1t is the supposition that she
was endeavoring to consult with the
spirits when heart failure ended her
life.

COLUMBUS, O., May 3.-News Of the
American victory at Manila spread
through Camp Bushnell Monday morn
ing and was received with wild cheer
ing and demonstrations OF en- thusiasm.
This was followed by misgivings that

a gun or flesh bayonet. The health
of the camp is remarkably good, all
things considered, and from this time
on the men will be worked hard, a
rigid routine of drill and camp duty
being arranged.
