Because she had grown tired Of nurs-

lam Bell, o prominent farmer, Of this
place. fed paris green to the baby this
afternoon. Her crime was discovered
and remedies administered to the little
sufferer, but It is hardly likely that the
child win recover.
Like most farmers' wives Mrs. Ben
had her hands full OF work, 60 recently.
the care Of her youngest child had been
entrusted to the care Of her eldest, An.
ma, who is but eighteen years old. The
latter Il Of lively disposition. Picnlos

but with the baby to care for she could
not attend them. II she wanted to
visit neIEhbor she had to take her
charge along, and she grew tired OF lug
ging the baby about. II 1t was out OF
the way, she would have more liberty,
she thought.
When the idea Of numbering the little
one she should hhVe loved entered her
mind no one knows, but her opportunity
for her most unnatural crime came this
afternoon Her mother decided to 90
to the woods for huckleberries. She
left Anna home with her little sister.
The mother had been gone but a short
time before Anna hunted up the parig
green which her father had purchased
to poison insects, and forced the baby
to swallow some Of the deadly pow
der.
The child did not fancy the dose, and
even her big sisters orders were not
enough TO make her swallow It She
fought with her tiny hands to ward of
death, and the poison was spilled on
her dress and over the floor. This led
10 the discovery OF the crime Neigh
bors called TO see Mrs. Bell. The baby
was sick, Anna told them. The green
powder on the floor and on the child'G
dress aroused their suspicious, Or. r.
W. Larison was summoned, and admin
lstered antldotes. but he has little hope
OF saving the child's life.
Mother and father are Mortified at the
crime Of their eldest child. What ac-
tlon the authorities WIN take ls not yet
known. The polsoner is still at large,
and unless the baby dies she may not
be prosecuted. She confessed to DR..
Larlson that she tried to kill her little
sister, and frankly told him why.

TORN, Mexico. August a.-GeneraI
Torres has withdrawn his forces from
the dense forest on the south side Of
the Yaqul river and, after recrossing
the stream, has retired TO Torln, He
was apparently afraid to attack the
Indians a second time with his present
forces, and has decided to await the
coming Of two thousand more troops,
officially reported to be on the way to
TOrin.
The Indians have again assembled In
strong force ut VlcRm, from which
point they were driven, August 10,
after a desperate resistance on their
part. While securing tho woods Gener-
al Torres forces marched to n point
within two miles Of where the Indians
have entrenched themselves. Learning
that the BavugeB had determined 70
make a desperate stand before retreat-
Ing to the mountains Torres deemed It
advisable to withdraw his forces and
await the promised re-enforcementH.
The Indians are killing much stock
along the river, using bows and arrows
for the purpose and saving their ann
munitlOn. Many cane rattS now COM

It is now known that nearly 200 In
dlans were killed and wounded during
the battles two weeks ago. The troops
which the government has placed in
the field are totally insufficient to duell
the rebellion.
Although Torres Is admitted to be an
able commander, the outlook for
q speedy suppression OF the hostlllties
Is more gloomy than ever. Nothing
further has been heard from Father
Beltran and the two Sisters OF st. JOS
eph, whom the Indians carried on.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.-The state
department does not aprehend that any
international complications will arise
out Of General Otis order in excluding
Chinese from the Philippines, as this is
said TO be only a temporary military ex-
pedient. leaving the general question to
be determined by Congress. Moreover,
It seems that the exclusion OF Chinese
comes about through the adoption OF
military regulations following the lines
Of United States laws, and not by the
detailed enforcement OF the Unlted
States statutes relating to Chinese ex-
cluslon. While the same end IL attain

Congress Is the only body which can

SaW How 1t Worked,

A scientific demonstration which
caused come amusement is described in
a recent number of The Criterion: IA
certain physician had a large Toepler-
Holtz machine which gave a spark like
a young streak of lightning. His wife
was much interested in it and watched
the doctor manipulate it until she fan
cie1 herself master of the apparatus.
One day a party of friends called when
the doctor was out. and the good wife
seized the opportunity of paralyzing
them with her knowledge of science.
"She was a very dignified woman of
portly presence. and, after leading them
into the Office. she began her explana-
tion with all the impressiveness of a
lecturer. She spoke briefly of the pre-
liminary manipulation of the machine.
And then she said, laying her hand
upon n connection, the electricity
goes from here to here;' whereupon an
angry white spark leaped out from the
brass ball indicated with a report like
a horse pistol and smote her upon the
extended finger, causing her to sit upon
the floor with a violence that shook the
window panes.
"The guests stood around in expectant
attitudes, looking at their fallen hostess
in %pardonable surprise. Only for a mo-
ment did that capable woman leave
them in doubt. 'Therel' said she, in
the most matter of fact manner, as
though events had simply followed the
usual course You see how it works.
Now let's go into the garden and look
at the chrysanthemums.'

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incufabie. For p
great many years doctors pronounced it 2

NEEDLES, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment. pronounced it in

be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls

Famous Laughing Plant Of Arabia.
The seeds of the laughing plant Of
Arabia produce the same effect upon
persons as laughing gas. The plant at
tains a height of from two to four feet,
with woody stems, widespreading
branches and bright green foliage. Its
fruits are produced in clusters and are
of a yellow color. The seed pods are
soft and woolly in texture and contain
two or three black seeds Of the size Of
a Brazilian bean. Their flavor is q little
like opium, and their taste is sweet;
the odor from them produces a sicken-
ing sensation and is slightly offensive.
The seeds, when pulverized and taken
in small quantities, have a peculiar
effect upon mar. He begins to laugh
loudly, boisterously; then he sings,
dances and cuts all manner Of fantastic
capers. Such extravaganza of gait and
manners was nev produced by any
other kind of dosing. -Ladies' Home

Is the Steam Locomotive Doomed?

Men who know say that in the next
ten years steam locomotives will dis
appear and electric motors will supplant
them. They also say that with the new
motive power trains will rush along at a
minimum speed of 100 miles an hour.
This will prove a blessing to those who
wish to go quickly from one point: to
another, but no more so than Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters has proved a blessing to
those who wish to go quickly from sick
ness to health. The Bitters act at once
upou stubborn cases OF dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, biliousness and liver complaint.
They improve the appetite, quiet the
nerves and induce sound, refreshing
sleep. The trial of a bottle will afford
convincing proof. Sold at all drug stores.
