FRANK JAMES AGAIN.
Starts Race Horses and Recalls
His Early Days.

Springfield, Mo, Sept SO.-Frank
James arrived in this city this morning
to officiate as starter at the fair this
week. He told an interesting story,
which is something of an explanation
of how he became a guerrilla.
He had not been in Springfield since
1852, and as he walked through the pub
lie square this morning he looked up Mt
the old court house and in an instant
there flashed through his mind the time
when he was prisoner in that old
building, which imprisonment determ-
ined his future career.
He was enlisted in Gen. Prices army,
which occupied Springfield in the win
ter of 1861 and 1852 He was attacked
with pneumonia and placed in the court
house, which was used as hospital.
Gen. Curtis compelled Price to retreat,
and Springfield was in the possession of
the federal army.
It remember the day the Yankees
marched by the court house." said

abreast. I thought there We're enough
men in Curtis army to kill every sold

and by that time was able to be about

cape, and one night managed to get in

Il wanted to join Price, but found 1t
would be impossible, as the Yankees had
me completely cut off and would sure
ly be captured if I tried, so I started
north, and in five days rode into Guam
trelPs camp on this side of the Mis-
souri, river. I was asked to join the
command and, being acquainted with
number of the men, did so. I stayed
with QuantreH until he was killed in
Kentucky in 1864"
Frank James believes that if he had
been able to join Price his name would
not have become that of an outlaw
He had a long talk with Capt. Newton
of the regular army, who is home on
sick leave, having contracted fever at
Santiago.
ssWhy. Captain said James, well
do I remember how I used to despise
that blue uniform, thinking it was ugly
and something to be despised, but now
I think it most beautiful and have great
respect for it. My boy is a wearer of

LOVER A MYTH.
Fortune Teller Responsible For
a Suicide.
Woman Swallows Poison in a
Cemetery.
WAITED FOR A LOVER.
Disappointed and Discouraged
She Ends Her Life.
But One of Many Cases of Palm
lists FOOlishness.
rAITED FOR A LOVER.

New York, Sept. 3O.-The unfortunate
young woman who was found dying in
the Lutheran cemetery at Middle Viii
lage, L. l., where it had been her in
tentiOn to end her life by swallowing
carbolic acid. has been identified as
Louise Better, Manhattan.
There is no doubt that her inability
had been described to her but whom
she had never seen, caused Louise Bet
zer to make an attempt at her life.
Louise is a pretty girl, not yet IS
years old, with large blue eyes and red
dish brown hair and fair complexion.
She comes from a good family in Ger
many. She has sister living some
where in New Jersey and a cousin who
is well-tO-dO and the superintendent Of
a large mill at Nazareth, Pa.
The young woman used to work in a
bakery on the east side. Three weeks
ago, when she was out of employment,
Banks. Mrs. Banks took a most moth
erly interest in the girl.
Louise was of a romantic disposition.
She had no real sweetheart as far as
Mrs. Banks knew, but Louise was all
the time talking about a young man
she was to meet. She would give a de-
scription of him. She spoke of him as a
tall handsome man, with flowing mus
tache and light brown hair and laugh
ing blue eyes.
The girl first heard of this unknown
had consulted. Louise was troubled
considerably because she did not know
the man. So she consulted other for
tune tellers and they all told her the
same story.
Not satisfied with the information she
received, she consulted astrolOgists, and
they too, told her that she would meet
a certain young man whom she would
marry. Then she called on several
palmists; she even consulted with me-
diums, and when they told the girl
about the young man she would soon
know and in whose company she would
find happiness. Louise continued her
hunt with all the more earnestness.
Louise Shad no eyes for other men.
She knew that she must meet the un-
known lover in a certain way. After
a while Louise became despOndent. She
spoke of committing suicide to Mrs
Banks The good woman scOlded the
girl and told her that she had no right
to take her own life and that God
would punish her if she did.
IF I do take my life" said Louise.
ct will not do it in a house. I shall
select a lonely spot"
Wednesday evening Louise was at the
home of palInist. He read the lines
of her hand and told her that the young
man would surely meet her. The palm
ist could not tell Louise her unknown
lovers name, but he felt certain that he
was very handsome and rich.

j. S. BANKS SAYS
God Bless the DiscOverer of
MOrrOW's Kid=ne-Oids.

Why shouldn't Mr.. Banks feel this
way? He is a barber and stands many
long hours on his feet. This is an awful
strain on the back. Try standing on a.
space of three or four feet for two
hours and see how you feel. For
about two or three years. saws he.
have been suffering with backache.
Sometimes I lost time from work. and
sometimes I had to go to bed. I took
several cures that were not cures at
all, and had treatment from doctors
which gave but temporary relief I
heard of SO many being cured by Nor
rows Kid-ne-eids that I got a box at
the Swift & Holiday Drug Co.. took
them according to directions and felt
better in two or three days. I centin-
ued their use until today 1 am entirely
cured of the kidney ailment. God bless
the discoverer of Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids.''
There is no use suffering if you will
do the same. Don't stop when you feel
better but keep on until you are cured.

GEN. WOODS BIG JOB.
Has Transformed the Dirtiest City in
the World.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Secretary AL
ger has received a long letter from
General Leonard Wood, military gov
ernor of Santiago. 1t is personal to a
great extent, but deals with many ques-
tions of interest to the public and Sec
retary Alger has allowed some extracts
to be published. 1t may be stated that
the secretary feels that the course of
events at Santiago has demonstrated
the wisdom shown in the selection of
General Wood for this peculiarly diff
cult post. Combining, as he did, medi-
cal skill with the highest type of SOL
dierIy qualities and executive ability,
he was able to meet and overcome the
problems presented at Santiago. The
letter moreover presents ViVidly the
frightful conditions that confronted the
American army of occupation after the
surrender of Santiago.
General Wood says in part:
Il have had a very difficult position
from a sanitary point of view and not
altogether an easy one from a military
and civil standpoint When we came
into the city the sanitary situation was
something frightful. There were
great many unburied dead in the
houses, between two and three thou-
sand Spanish wounded and sick, and a
great horde of half famished and SICK
people, nearly 10000 in number VINO nao
lust returned from Ell Caney, where they
had gone during the siege. The water
supply of the city had been cut OIL;
there was no water to be obtained e&-
cept from c1SCefnS anu d lew WSlAS oA1O
the streets were full of dead animals
and all sorts of filthy materials. hao
to start in from the bottom and repair
the waterwOrks. Then came the re-
roovaI of the dead. Some of these were
burned because the number was SO
great and decomposition had advanced
to such an extent that they could not
be buried. Burning is not uncOmmonly
practised here during the epidemic sea-
son.
We had yellow fever all around US
and about 20 cases in the Spanish mill
tary hospital. The civil hospital was
full of dying people and public buildings
were being used as hospitals. On the
whole, it was an extremely difficult task
recurring a great deal of hard work. L
have been working systematically with
every means at hand to improve the
sanitary condition of the city. 1t is IN
this department that a vast amount of
work has been done. I have force of
about 40 men constantly employed and
at many times have had nearly double
this force working day and night to re-
move the vast accommodations OF 1nde-
scribabIe filth which has accumulated
in the out houses and yards, as well
ported to be one of the most unhealthy
and dirty in the world.
'"The death rate has dropped steadily
since we came in and is now about one
fourth of what it was in July. The wa
ter system has been put in order and a
great many repairs made to it and the
supply although insufficient is utilized
to the greatest advantage.

troops, purchase medicine for them and

SICK ORDERED HOME.
Those in Porto Rico to Be Brought
Back at Once.

Washington, Sept. 30.-The war de-
partment has posted the following:
The president has given instructions
that ali sick at Porto Rico be sent north
as soon as they are able to travel with
safety, his purpose being to relieve Gen

DEPOPULATION OF FRANCE
Presence of Foreigners Prevents De-
3crease From Becoming Apparent

Presence of Foreigners Prevents De-
tcrease From Becoming Apparent.
London, Sept. 3O.-The returns of the
census for France, which was taken on
March %, 1897, have now been publish
ed and compared with the statistics Of
the previous census, which was taken
six years before on April II, 1891. A
year ago the number Of people in
France was 3s, ,228, $50, and at the 1891
census it was IS, ,0s5, $50. so that in the
six years the population of France had
only increased by 133, ,S19 persons And
even this trifling increase is more ap-
parent than real, for it has taken place
entirely in the large towns, and is due
TO the influx of foreigners, such as Bel
gians and Italians, who are to be found
in increasing numbers among the urban
population of France
In only "A departments is there any
increase; in 63 departments there is a
positive falling off, and this is more es-
peciaIly marked in the rural COmmuneS.
Even more than in England does the
population flock from the country to
the town, and vet we are always hear
ing Of the perfect nature of the French
agrarlan laws and of the advantages
of small holdings. The fact is, that
small holdings tend to keep down the
rural population, for the subdivision of
fields has now got to such a pitch that
any family at all often means starva-
ton to man and wife.
For years past the French population
has only been kept f ON showing an
absolute decrease by the influx of for
eign Workmen into the great towns, and
yet the French allow the folly of the
colonial party to drag them into ridic-
ulous enterprises abroad for the bene-
fit of a few greedy officials and func-
tionaries. A nation with a 6ecreas sing
population can never hold colonies,
and the French may rest assured that
sooner or later their colonies will go the
way of those possessed by the sister na-
ton Spain.

KILLED HIS UNCLE
Because of Infatuation With His
Aunt.

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. 30.-Word has
just received here of an atrOcious mur-
der recently committed on POrters
Greek, near FL Campo, Texas. The
murdered man was Otto Harmes, an old
German farmer, who it is claimed, was
murdered by his wife and julius
Harmes. his nephew. The Information
comes that Julius became infatuated
with Mrs Harmes and they decided to
put the old farmer out of the way.

with an axe, one night when he was
sleeping, and assisted by Mrs. Harmes
dragged the body to cornfield, piled
brush over it and started fire. The
story further says that Julius and Mrs.
Harmes returned the next morning to

was alive, but unconscious. and that
they then piled cOrnstallSs over him and
burned him after which they buried his
remains. Both have since been arrest

Whether or Not Chill and Peru Sign
a Protocol

There is a possibility that the proto-
col with Peru will not be approved by
congress. 1t was stated here that ac-
ton had been delayed until it can be
determined whether nitrate beds exist
in the provinces of Tacna and africa
which the protocol would surrender to
Peru. In case deposits should be found
the protocol would probably be indef-

gress will then discuss the instrument
