Mahon, charged with stealing a bicycle
from Strain Bros, was sent down to

About two months ago Officer Bssett

peared. The bicycle was there, and
so too was a new and clean shirt. These,
with the watch, We're taken to the sta
ton and turned in. Investigation show
ed that the wheel was of the make sold
by Strain Bros, and that firm had just
missed one. The number of the wheel
had been carefully filed off. On in
quiry it was also found that the shirt
had been bought of the store of A.
Nathan by a man named Shorty, who
was employed on ranch up the Sun
river. Word was sent him to come
down and get his property, but he did
not show up. Finally a warrant was
sworn out and served by Deputy Sher-
iff AL. Reynolds, who got his man at
the ranch of Press Rowes and brought
him in last night Mcmahon, who evil
IDENTIFY is not any too bright, confessed
to the theft of the wheel, saying that
he borrowed it and after keeping it for
about a month brought it back to town
and lost it. He offered to pay Strain
Bros. for the machine if they would
drop the case against him and allow
him to go back to the ranch to work it
out. but the officers objected to this pro-
cedure. Mcmahon knew enough to file
off the number, but he did not appar-
emily know enough to make good his
escape, and will now have plenty of
time to think it over down at the jail

THE MARKETS,

New York, Aug. 1.-THE stock market
made some show of activity and strength
in the early dealings to-day, but the
movement had about exhausted itself be-
fore the end of the first hour. The heavy
tone in railroad stocks affected the in
dustrals, which had started to go up,
and realizing set in, which helped the
bears. The market refused to go up
again and drifted quite aimlessly for the
rest of the day, the volume of business
falling to the lowest ebb. The stocks
which made the early activity were Iron
and Steel and the Leather stocks Some
of the former group had quite handsome
net gains remaining at the close of the
day, Federal Steel and Colorado Fuel be-
ing the only ones in the group to show
me- losses. Tennessee Coal was still fore
most in the movement and touched S3lb
bdt failed to make its net gain a whole
point. There was a tremendous scram-
bla to take on United States Leather and
the price touched 1855. Practically the
whole of the gain was wiped out in re-
alizing movement and the preferred
stock closed below last night. There was
a midday demand for Mexican Central
and Mexican National which was unex-
planned in the days news. Oregon Navi-
cation lost 2A points of its recent rise
A few railroad stocks showed fractional
gains, but the general tone was heavy.
Call loans were about steady to-day and
the decline to 21a per cent late in the
dealings was of little significance, as it
occurred after most of the demand had
been satisfied.
Movements in bonds were sluggish and

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Little
Daughters Life.

am the mother Of eight children
and have had a great deal of expe-
rience with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die. I tried everything I could
think of, but nothing seemed to do her
any good. l saw by an advertisement
in our paper that Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
a bottle at once. 1t proved to be one
in the house. 1t saved my little daugh-
ter's life. I am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had l known 1t at first
it would have saved me a great deal
of anxiety and my little daughter much
suffering. Yours truly, Mrs. George F.
Burdick Liberty, r. I.
The soothing and healing properties
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, its
pleasant taste and prompt and perma-
nent cures, have made it great favor
lite with the people everywhere.
Troublesome to the Army.
During the civil war. as well as in
our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was
one of the most troublesome diseases
the army had to contend with. In
many instances it became chronic and
the old soldiers still suffer from it.
Mr.. David Taylor of Wind Ridge,
Greene county, Pennsylvania, is one
of these. He uses Chamberlain's Collie.

says he never found anything that
would give him such quick relief. For

PROMISED TO Be GOOD
Wife Wouldn't Testify Against
Her Husband.
SHE HAD HIM ARRESTED
But When 1t Came to Prosecuting Him
for Wife-Beating She Refused to
Tell Her Story to the
Court.

There was another of those cases yes
terday which often come up in the po-
lice court and only serve to aggravate
the court, annoy the prosecuting at
torney and make the arresting officer
wish that the whole universe would re-
solve itself into bowling wilderness.
1t was a case wherein a woman ac-
cused her husband of abusing and beat
ing her and then throwing her whole
force of love and mercy at the feet of
the judge, praying that the penitent
husband may be allowed to go his way
upon the promise that he shall never
whip his poor, good old wife again.
