America, after completing his work as
commissioner to the exposition. Never
a very strong man, the strain Of his
position had told heavily on him, and
he was advised by his physicians to
give up the more trying work of the
mission. But he persisted until two days
before the date set for sailing, when
he was overcome by what appeared to
be temporary weakness, which caused
him to postpone his departure. He was
nervously broken down, and his condl-
ton was rendered worse by impaired cir
culation and faulty heart action.
Major Handy was born at Warsaw,
Benton County, Mo-, his father being
Rev. I. w. K. Handy, prominent Pres
byterian clergyman. The family left
Missouri for Virginia when Major Han
dy was child, and he was reared and
educated in the latter state.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. ga spe-
cial to the Gazette from Fort Smith,
Ark, says:
Justice in a more horrible form than
melted out to Henry Smith at Paris, Tex,
was administered by mob on the Okla
homa border Friday night to ]. Marcus
McGeisy and Palmer Simpson, two Sem
mole Indians. They were charged with
murder, their victim being Mrs. James
living in Oklahoma. The crime was a
most revolving one, and the criminals
were punished in most revolving man
ner. Mrs. Simmons was outraged and
murdered. The body was horribly mu-
tilated. The crime resembled in atrocity
those perpetrated in the Creek nation by
the infamous Buck Gang, the members
of which were hanged at Fort Smith
two years ago.
The murder and mutilation of Mrs.
Simmons so enraged the neighborhood
that nearly the entire populace turned
out to hunt down and punish the guilty
parties. The trail led the posse to the
home of McGeisy near Maud, a small
town in the Seminole nation, where Nc
Geisy and Simpson were arrested. After
securing their prisoners the mob set fire
to McGeisy's house and barn and did not
leave until they saw all of his earthly
possessions reduced to ashes. The pris-
oners were then carried back across the
line into Oklahoma territory and near
the scene of their crime they were exc
cuted by Judge Lynch's order in the
most horrible manner that human minds
could devise. They were burned at the
stake.
The Indians met their doom with the
usual stoicism Of their race. After life
was extinct the mob allowed the fires
to die down and they then quietly dis
persed to their homes.
No secret was made of the fact that
the Indians had been burned to death.
and this morning their charred bodies
burned beyond recognition were found
lying in the ashes of their funeral pyre.
Everybody in the vicinity seems to know
that the Indians were executed for the
murder of Mrs. Simmons, but everybody
appears to be entirely ignorant of the
individuals who composed the mob.

"a friend in need is a friend in
deed" Drs. Shores are certainly
valued friends to suffering humanity,
as they are not only the originators
of their famous system of treatment
for catarrh and chronic diseases that
has brought health and happiness to
thousands of homes, but they now
place their price at Five Dollars per
month for all diseases and furnish all
medicines free.
Drs. Shores want the public to I'M
derstand why they make such a gen.
erous offer. There are so many
patent medicine frauds and so many
cheap and worthless nostrums and
equally worthless treatments palmed
off on the public that Drs. Shores
feel that it is duty to humanity to
offer to them at the lowest possible
figure the only treatment for catarrh
and chronic diseases that has stood
the test of time and cured thousands
of cases here at home in Southern
California.
Drs. Shores today make the grand
offer to the sick to treat catarrh and
all diseases, and furnish all medicines
until cured, at the extremely low
rate of Five Dollars per month.
