Kodol Dyspepsia Cure thoroughly
digests food without aid from the
stomach, and at the same time heals
and restores the diseased digestive
organs. 1t is the only remedy that
does both of these things and can be
relied upon to permanently cure dys-
pepsia. IL. Z. JOHNSON.
Contrary to the expectation of the
majority of our growers that the sudden
and extreme cold of last winter weuh
play havoc with the destructive insects,
fruits have been more severely attacked
by these pests this season than formerly.
and it is a rarity to find apple or pear
orchards where not the greatest portion
of the fruit is unmarketable.

Miss Julia Wilcox Died at the Ad-
vanced Age of 93.

vanced Age of 90.
From the Fort Smith Times.
Miss Julia M. Wilcox, one of the
oldest citizens of Fort Smith died at the
home of her cousin, Mrs. II A. Mayors,
222 North Second street Saturday night
at S:55 o'clock. She was born in
Middletown, Conn. in 1906 and would
have been 93 years old her next birth
day, November 25th, She came to this
city As years ago with her cousin, Mrs.
H. A. Myers, with whom she has made
her home ever since.
Miss Wilcox was well known in the
city and has large circle of friends who
will mourn her death. She was a mem
Der of the Episcopal church from which
her funeral will take place on Monday
at 10 o clock. Funeral services will be
conducted by the Rev. w. T. Allen, of
Springfield.
About seven weeks ago she received a
fall, which, while breaking no bones,
buDDk utI III a Nh"t ohS
was compelled to seek her bed. Her
extreme old age, together with the shock
of the fall was the cause OF her death.
Geo. TILES Sunday returned from
New York, where, as the new manager
of the Fort Smith opera house, he
had been to book attractions for the
coming season. He says he secured as
fine list of companies as ever played

John Maxey Executed for the Crime
of Rape.-MaIntained His In
nocense to the Last.
The last chapter has been closed and
John Maxey has paid the penalty which
the law says should befall those who
violate its provisions and which jury
of twelve men said he violated
1t is needless for US to give resume
of the case and the crime for which the
man was executed for it is yet fresh in
the minds of the people. 1t was crime
Vulnerable executions, the majority
without the pale of the law, and we
hope that this execution will be a lesson
tol those of Maxey race who are prone
to let their animalipassions rule them
of the fate that awaits him who COM
mits the crime of rape.
Maxey said on the scaffold he was in
nocent. but the evidence against him
was SO strong that twelve men required
but short time, after weighing all
before them, in deciding that he was
guilty. The case WAS passed on by the
state supreme court and they found no
reason for reversing the decision of the
lower courts; thus giving his case fair
and impartial trial SO far as the wisdom
Of man goes There was another thing
that stood against Jno. Maxey and
should prove warning to those who
are treading in the same path and that
was his previous reputation was bad.
Every effort was made by Maxey's
attorneys to save him from his doom
and he entertained hopes up to few
days before the time fixed for his exe-
cution that the governor would extend
executive clemency, but in the mean
time he prepared himself for the future.
Rev. Phillips was his spiritual advisor
and he appeared to find much comfort
in his words.
Maxey had been closely watched for
some weeks to prevent any escape or
otherwise, and when the day Of his exc
cution dawned he was ready ap-
parently prepared for his fate. Sheriff
Branson had decided to have the execu-
ton over at the earliest possible moment.
and before 8 o clock Maxey stood on the
gallows awaiting his doom. After a
prayer by Rev. Phillips, he joined in
the song Every Day and Hour in a
firm voice. At the close Of which he
delivered the annexed statement which
was taken verbatim.
Maxey never finched while he was
being tied by the sheriff and Jailor
Yoes, saying he was going to Jesus. AT
s:52 the trap was sprung and at sos he
was declared dead by Drs. Dibrell and
Parchman and his body cut down. His
neck was broken by the drop.
Services over his remains were held
at the A. M. E. church.

LUCK IN LOTTERIES.
Strange Franks Played by Dame
Fortune on Her Wooers.
iust.-ses of Poor Persons BEING
Suddenly Made Rich and Mis-
fortunes of Winning
Ticket Holders.

Fortune is never SO capricious as
when she is turning a lottery-wheel;
and 4 whole library might be written Of
the strange FRANKS shchas played with
those who nave WOued her IN TINS guiSe.
She was in Il strangely capriCious mood
when it pleased her to convert Il Dublin
shop assistant into = man Of fortune
and the founder of a noble family.
Luke White, the father OF the first
Lore Annually, was d poor ManNman, who
had driited to Dublin to serve behind
the counter of a booksellers shop. In
the hope Of adding to his scanty earn
iugs he bought a number OF lottery
tickets for sale, but found himself IN
able to dispose OF them. At the last mo-
ment he decided to send the unsOld
tickets to Belfast, in the hope of find
ing a better market there; but when
the coach had been a day on its journey
he received a letter informing him
that the dcspised tickets had won val
liable prizes.
Although the news came in the dead
of night, Luke White got up Immediate
ly, saddled a horse, and raced madly in
chase of the coach. He rode through
the night and the whole of the follow
ing day. and overlook the coach within
a few miles of Belfast. He rescued the
bundle of tickets, and, returning home.
exchanged them for prizes of the value
of 100000.
Fortune was less kind to Charles
Rotter. a t~obacconist of Chicago, who
purchased a lot OF tickets last year.
Rotter thought so lightly of his pros
pect of winning anything that he gave
his ticket, in q spirit Of fun, to a friend.
Joseph Dost, as a birthday present.
On the very day or which he parted
with the ticket, it's number was an
nounced as having o q prize of s15,-
900. Rotter felt the blow of his mis-
fortune so keenly that he died from
heart disease, from which he had suf-
fered for some time. on the following
day.

A TENDERFOOI'S FIND
He Buys an Abandoned Mine
 and Becomes Wealthy

A correspondent of the Albuqusrqus Citizen writing from kingman allows his imseinstions to run smuck. He tells what he terms the sal.iag of . young teLderfoot from Boston, and the sale to him of the salted property on Stockton Hill, a number of years ago. aud the subseq quent discovery by him of 6 body of ore from which he took 6 large amount of money. The Mohsve Miner ssys the real fact is tha. about sixteen yesrs ago J. M. Gale. 6 native of Baltimore. arrived in Mohsve county and. having about sG0O in coin, decided to become the owner Of a mining claim. He went to Stockton Hill and purchased from Ed. Burke and Philip Hach the Moonbean mine. The claim had produced very rich ore, but as the time there was nothing in sight. Gale went to Mineral Park to try and in terest some one in the property with him but without success. Going back to Stockton Hill he went to work alone and within a few feet of the old works he ran into body of $ll0o ore He experienced no difficulty in get ting men to work for him and before the ore pincbei out had $125,OO0 to the good. Of course the old owners regretted sheir hssty sale, but the mine had neither been sampled nor sa.ted.
