ALMOST FATAL MIRTH.
A Joker Who Thought His Joke SO Funny
 That He Got Lexus Caohlnnatis.

Two doctors and a professional nurse have put in long, hard night with Charles Kehout He was sui fering from a disease technically known as lexus cachinnatis. It is a form of hysterla that is uncommon. The victim begins laughing, and in q little while discovers to his alarm that he cannot stop. The three stages of 1t are incessant laughter, madness, and death. Kehout suffer- ed for three days and was rapidly approaching the second stage, when relief came in the form of hypodermic injection of morphine. He is now in deep slumber, his coral lips curved in an infantile smile, which is merely a reminiscenee of the demoniac merri- ment that poured out of him. The thing began in this way:
 Kehout and others attended New Years party. They chased theglow- ing hours with flying feet. Firing of this, one of the royal spirits always to be found at such gatherings sug- gested that Miss Francis Lans' watch and chain be stolen in jest. This struck Kehout as being quite the fun niest thing conceivable and he ac- quiesced eagerly.
 The watch was deftly abstracted from the person of the unconscious young woman by q man who has a great future In front of him. Kehout was made custodian. He began laughing, but was able to check him self in an hour or so, and, although breaking into an irrepressible giggIe now and then, on the whole manag- ed to hold himself well in hand. This was difficult, especially when the girl began crying about the watch, but he is a man of great will power.
 In an error of forgetfulness the watch was not returned to Miss Lans that night, and when Kehout walked in the morning and found it under his pillow he was attacked by a fresh paroxism, which he conquer ed with difficulty. All day Sunday he wrestled with his mirth. People on the sidewalks were astonished to see him stop and double up and slap his legs and come within an ace of pitching head foremost into the gut ter. Sunday night he was walked every hour by a fresh spasm ofmirth.
 On Monday Miss Lans, having been told that Kehout had the watch, swore out a warrant charg- ing larceny, and he was locked up. Then he let go all hold. No man could be expected to resist such ex-

Was the Mail Clerk on Train No. 1
 at Texarkana, Last Night.

MT. Denton. the mail clerk on train No. 1 was held up last night about 10:30 o'clock at Texarkana by two men. Soon after the train pulled In- to that place he carried the mail satchel to the post office and left the mail there. Returning from the office he was accosted by two men, who placed pistols at his face and demanded the mail. MT. Denton offered the men the empty .satehel. They did not take it, and while par leying he seized m opportunity to draw his own pistol. The men ran and he fired four times at them, but they escaped.

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
 Trouble.
INSTANTLY RELIEVED AND HERNIA
 NENTLY CURED,
A New Discovery, Hut NotA Patent Med
 icine.

Dr. Redwell relates an interesting account of what he considers re- markable cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
 He say s: The patient was a man who had suffered to my knowledge for years with dyspepsia. Every thing he ate seemed to sour and create acid and gasses i'll the stom- ach; he had pains like rehumatism in the back, shoulder blades and limbs, 1 fullness and distress after eating, poor appetite andsl6ss of flesh; the heart became affected, causing palpi- tation and sleeplessness at night.
 1 gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood remedies, but to no pur pose. As an experiment. l finally bought a fifty-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at drug store and gave them to him. Almost immediate relief was given and after he had used four boxes he was to all appearances fully cured.
 There was no more acidity or sour watery risings, no bloatings after meals, the appetite was vigorous and he has gained between 10 and F pounds in weight of solid, healthy l flesh.
 Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets are advertised and sold in Drug stores, yet l consider them n most valuable addition to any physieian's line of remedies, as they are perfectly harmless and can be given to chlld- ren CT inyalids or in any condition of the stomach with perfect safety. being perfectly harmless and con taining nothing but vegetable and fruit essences, pure pepsin and Gold en Seal.
 Without any question they are 1 the safest. most effective cure for indigestion, biiieusnesa, constipation and all Arrangements of thestomach however slight or severe.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists every where at fifty cents for full sized package.

SPANS PRIDE HURT AGAIN.
Common of the Madrid Newspapers on
Presidents Message.

Madrid, April 12.-The Liberal this
morning publishes what appears to be
nearly complete translation OF President
McKinley's message to Congress on the
Cuban question, printing its salient
points in large type
Commenting on the message the Liberal
SAYS: although the dispatches are ex-
tensive they do not suffice for the forma-
ton of definite conclusions. The mis-
translation of word or a phrase would
produce complete mis- understanding,
and absolute dependence upon the accu-
racv of the first transmission in so serious
an affair would be q grave indiscretlon.
Nevertheless, 1T may be said that, IN
peneral sense it affirms and declares in
the name of the nation, the right OF inter-
ference in Cuba whether definite or in
definite period Is meant and whether 1T 1T
a simple intimation or a fixed decision
regarding coming events Spain must pro-
test theoretically against the principal
prior to protesting violently against the
action. No free people can hesitate to re-
ject by all the means in its power doc
trine annulling its personality and reduc.
ing it to ignominious tutelage Consent
ing to submit to it would be equivalent
to Spain s resignation of her place among
European udUlOuo. ALlOiiOfh SiOthiAy AAol-
Gates her intention hitherto yelled with
hypocritical antiquities.
"America considers Spain incapable of
maintaining her sovereignty in Cuba. We
have put up with everything, but unless
we ignore our history and consider the
peninsular on level with Paraguay,
isolated from the rest of the world, we
cannot and will not submit to this.
In conclusion the Liberal remarsk:
"To avoid it and to restore the self re.
snect due to ourselves, which is more ilu-
portant than the position of Cuba, it be-
comes necessary to unite in one all Span
ish arms and hearts. Let Madrid, let the
whole of Spain recall what we have been,
ana what we cannot cease to be while
physical and moral laws forbid the suicide
of nations.'
"a Short Truce-The Squadron to
Cuba" and says:
There exists today complete divorce
between the government and the gov.
erned. This Judgment is formed. not on
the public demonstration, but on the gen
eral disgust and sadness prevailing. The
Ministerial folly cannot go any further, or
the Spanish arms resting in Cuba Will be
freely be used OH the Puerta Del Sol. "
Continuing the impartial urges the
people to unite and ''demand that the
fleet be sent Immediately to Cuban
waters.'

phere.

and said he intended travelling for a year.
He said he intended to take passage on

him." continued Bran, THAT it could

better accommodations on a steamer"

was asked why he gave the place OF his
birth as Nova Scotia. and replied:
"Ihe place / came from I'm really

He said he saw Mrs. Nash about June 0.
Until the 18th OF July Bran said his
relations with the rest of the crew and
with the people ON board had been pleas
ant. Bran related the events of the

and collected manner. He told of the
finding of the body of the second mate
