Attempted Suicide In JAIL

E. Silk, the ex-street commissioner of
Moberly who shot down little Johnnie
Hellensmith who was driving some
COWS along the streets of that city,
because he (Hellensmith) did not un-
derstand or failed to obey some or
der or demand of Silks, made his
third attempt to take his own life
in the county Jail at Huntsville last
Sunday morning by hanging himself
with a towel to bed-slat, which he
had fastened to the ceiling of his cell.
Silk was almost strangled to death
when he was discovered and cut down.
1t will be remembered that when
his case was tried in the Randolph
county circuit court he was found
guilty and was sentenced the peniten-
tiary for 20 years. He took an ap-
peal to the supreme court, but the
higher tribunal has not yet passed up
on the appeal.
Silk was, we believe, at one time
insane and it would seem from his mum
erous efforts to take his own life tha
his mind is not now as sound as
| might be.

GET FLESH.
Get Strength, vigor, Clear Complexion
and Good Digestion, Not by Patent
Medicine, But in Natures Own Way.

Any honest physician will tell you that
there is but one way to get increased
flesh; all the patent medicines and cod
liver oils to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength and vigor, mind and body,
and that is through the stomach, by
wholesome food, we'll digested. There
is no reason or common sense in other
method whatever.
People are thin, run down, nervous,
pale, and shaky in their nerves simply
because their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dys-
| pepsia, but the fact remains that they
| do not eat enough food. or what they
eat is not quickly and properly digested,
as it should be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason Is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptOnes, and deficient secre-
tion of gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There arc several good preparations
which will do this, but none so readily
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which are
designed especially for all stomach
troubles, and which cure all digestive
weakness on the common sense plan OF
furnishing the digestive principles which
| the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give per-
| feet digestion. First effect is to increase
the appetite and increased vigor, added
flesh, pure blood and strength of nerve
and muscle is the perfectly natural re-
suit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any form Of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. May be found at druggists at
so cents for full sized package or direct
by mail from Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich,

May Be RECOGNIZED.

In an article made up Of military gos-
sip, in Mondays Rocky Mountain News,
that paper says: "It is intimated that
Fort Marcy in Santa Fe may be placed
again in charge of the War department,
and again become an important army
post. This fort passed into the control
of the Interior department while Gen.
eral McCook was in command of the
department of Colorado. 1t was aban-
doned because of the concentration Of
troops Of the regular army in the vicin-
ity of the larger cities, and because the
post vas no longer necessary as a rem
devious for soldiers to keep the Indians
in subsection. This post occupies a
beautiful location and has a history ex-
tending back to the civil war. The as
sociations of the fort long delayed the
army authorities in abandoning it."

be lots of change between now and Sat
urday.
The Rio Grande river at Ell Paso has
gone entirely dry, and yet General Mills
and his speculative associates claim that
the Rio Grande is a navigable stream at
that point. There is some water at Las
Cruces, but it is all taken out for irriga-
ton ere reaching Ell Paso.
Captain Muller was intending to
bring west several machetes and a
Mauser rifle. But after handing the

A MURDERER LOCATED.
Texas Authorities Discover Much Wanted
Murderer in New Mexico Penitentiary
-Geronimo PARA is His Name.

Geronimo PARA, who is doing a term
in the New Mexico penitentiary for cat
tie rustling, has been discovered to be
the man wanted in Ell Paso county,
Texas, for the last 10 years for the muir
der of Sergeant Charles Fusselmann, Of
the Texas state rangers; and the Lone
Star state authorities are preparing to
secure possession of Geronimo when re-
leased from prison here. The accused
was sentenced February 8, 1894, from
Las Cruces, to seven years imprison-
ment, which would make h date of re-
lease February 8, 1901. But by good
behavior the prisoner was expected to
get out November 8, 1898. However,
| Geronimo has been behaving himself so
| badly that Warden Bergman will keep
him in confinement for some time yet,
and is uncertain now when the prisoner
will be released. Captain Hughes, of
the troop of rangers stationed just out
side of FL Paso, was intending to come
up for Geronimo November 8, but the
warden says he will not give the pris-
oner up, so it will do no good for Cap
tain Hughes to make the trip.
The story of the Texas crime is as
follows: Geronimo PARA, in company
| with other outlaws, raided the ranch of
a man named Burns, u miles north of
Ell Paso, drove off his horses, stole his
cattle and killed his favorite dog. He
came to town and complained, and Ser
| geant Fussleman and Deputy Sheriff
| George Herold undertook to ride to the
| rendezvous of the thieves n make ar
rests. But they were ambushed by
| seven of the bandits and Fussleman
was shot dead. Herold's horse was
| shot under him, but he managed to es-
cape after wounding one of the thieves,
| who subsequently died at Fort Han
cock, so miles east of Ell Paso. The rest
of the gang escaped into Mexico, leav-
ing seven of the stolen horses behind
and that was the last heard of them un-
til the other day, when it was learned
that the chief of the gang, Geronimo
PARA. was doing a long term in the
New Mexico penitentiary for cattle
stealing.
1t is merely a question of time before
the Texas authorities get hold of the &C.
cused, and Their he will be tried at Ell
| Paso, with George Herold as the prin-
| cipal witness.
