HE HADN'T BEEN PARDoNED.

A Missouri Murderer Didn't Go Tat
EnOagh After His Escape In 1887.
Houston, No, July lit seems
past belief that u man could commit
s murder in Missouri, be sentenced
TO death, escsps from all twice auS
20 to a peaceful life within 80 miles
OF the scsne of his crime. Yet this
is a true summary of the last TIM.
teen years Of the life Of Tobias Ne.
Daniel.
Ia 1855 Mcdaniel killed Victor
kiretts in Texas county, stabbiEg
him TO death in a quarrel. McDaL'
iel was placed in Jail at Houston and
escaped ia 1887. He went TO his
brother home at Japan posteffce,

cd Mcdaniel and he was pursued.
he wandered as far as New Mexico
but was captured, brought back to
/ Texas county, tried and sentenced
+ to hang. The gallows was built but
the night before the day set for hiE
execution Mcdaniel cut a hole in the
+ jail wall aud escaped.
That was in 1890 Mcdaniel had
won the sympathy Of many Of the
people af Texas county and there
was 10 elamor for his recapturs
The offer of reward was net ~
newed aud after time McDanie,
was dropped from the public mind.
Mcdaniel made his way back 30
Franklin county. There he wns
married He started a blacksmith
shop at Japan aud settled down to a
peaceful life. He gave out upon his
temperance at Japan that he had
been parioned. Strangely enough
this claim has never been investigat'
ed until now. The records at Jeffer.
son City contain no trace Of O par.
don ever having been issued III his
favor.

shows no hesitaucy iG speaking Of
his brother and states that Tobias
always claimed that he had a par

A Clever Trick.

It certainly looks like it, but there
is really no trick about it. Anybody
can try it who has lame back and
weak kidneys, malaria or nervous
troubles. We mean he can cure
himself right away by taking Electric
Bitters. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as a stimulant to
liver and kidneys, is blood purifier
and nerve tonic. 1t cures constipa-
tion, headache, fainting spells, sleep
lessness and melancholy. It is purely
vegetable, a mild laxative, and re-
stores the system to its natural
vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be
convinced that they are miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed,
Only SOC a bottle at Fl. L. fuckers s

MUTINY ON TIE PANTHER.
Twenty. Four of the Cruisers Crew
Placed In Irons.

RlHceu IN lTOas'
Philadelphia, Pa, July "A local
paper will tomorrow publish story
to the effect that a mutiny occurred
on the cruiser, Panther, now at the
League Island Navy Yard, while on
their way from San Juan, Porto
Rico, to this port, aud that it Was
necessary to place twenty four men
IN irons.
According to the story, while the
Panther was at San Juan in COM
mand of Capt. George c. Rsiter, the
greater part of the crew rebelled
against the food and asked to be fed
elsewhere. After several desertIons
occurred the departure of the cruis
er was hastened for fear that she
would be so crippled from this cause
that when her time came she would
be unable to leave. On her voyage
home it became necessary to place a
number of the men in confinement,
although there was no open demon
stration or violent breech Of discip
line manifested.
1t is stated that the insubordina-
ton was reported tot he navy depart
ment at Washington, but no informa
ton of the affair could be CLEANED
to day, from the navy yard officials
or from any of the officers OF ths
! Panther.

To Prevent Stoch From Being Killed Near a
Wire Fence.


Mckee Ledger.
At the earnest request OF many
readers Of the Ledger, will give a
sure preventive against the fatal
results OF stock being near wire
fence during a thunder-storm.
Take galvanized wire, either with
or without the barbs, cut it in pieces
long enough so You can iusert one
end in the ground two feet and let
the other end extend above the post
four TO six inches; be sure it rests
against every wire and staple It sol
idly. Put these ground connections
+ on every fourth or fifth post aroun1
your pasture: don't be stirgy with
your wire, as q whole spool Of wire
is not worth as much as a good
horse, male or fat steer. Every
ground connection you put in dimin-
ishes the power of the stroke and
a few ground connections will carry
| the whole force into the ground
otherwise it could run en- the fence
for half mile and then kill $500 OF
$500 worth of stock.
Being a prrctical electrician,
know OF what 1 speak, and, il
through the columns OF our country
papers, can benef. the stock-rais
ers, 1 willingly do 80. OF course
lightning may strike and kill stocA
in the middle of you field and yor
are powerless to prevent it; bu'
where you have the electricity con
fined to your wire fence, simply
assist it to the ground, which yor
can do safely and successfully.

Edinburg, Ind, June 29-What
,,n.ts will do can be seen by com
.,,;np the once prosperous Edin-
s,,c with the new stricken town.
!, 1891. the National Starch Manu-
I..turing Company was formed and
h.osu to absorb plants in Indiana,
Ohio and other States.
The factory in Edinburg was
t.ksu at S175,0O0, when it was really
v0rsh but S125,OOO. 1t was promptly
.losed down, throwing seventy five
man out of employment and robbing
.hs merchants of $500 a week.
Families moved away, the price of
starch went up 20 per cent, while
sarn decreased % per cent, and real
estate deprecated. Farmers took
,b.ir corn elsewhere, and likewise
,usnt their money in ether towns
shsrs better price could be had.
The factory buildings, which were
comparatively new, are rotting down.
Madison. Columbus and Franklin
are other placas that have been
affected by this one trust, although
tbsy have not been so badly hurt az

continent in an automobile!
Under the auspices af the New
York Herald Mr.. and Mrs. John ID.
Davis will start from this city in q
moter carriage bound for San Fran
cisco Saturday, July 1st. 1t Will be
the longest automobile run on record
and, besides requiring endurance,
skill and nerve, it will be test OF an
American made, self propelling Vehl
Gle over the very worst Of American
roads.
Nothing to compare with the trip
has ever been attempted in this
country, where the sport termed
"automobile" is yet in its infancy.
In Europs the longest run that has
been made was 621 miles, over roads
equal to the parkways in American
cities.
To 60 from ocean to ocean Mr..
Davis will travel about 300 miles.
He will fud some good stretches oi
road in the east and some fair roads
in the middle west, but will have tc
follow stage coach routes through
the Rocky mountains and cattle
trails used by the '49ers across the

A Gang of Prisoners.
Clinton DGmocrat.

Clinton DGmecrat.
A dozen United States prisoners
passed oyer the Al. K. & T. railway
on Wednesday morning. The gang
of prisoners were composed of In
dians, negroes and one white man.
The white man was the chief villain
of the crowd, and his name is Nell
son Jones. The prisoners are from
Muscogee, Indian Territory, and are
en- route to prison at Jefferson City'
Columbus, Ohio, and at the reform
school. The Sedalia Democrat,
speaking of Jones, says:
Readers of the Democrat will re.
member having read the account OF
an outrage committed on a white
woman in the territory. This hap
pened last fall. Jones was United
States marshal at the 1ine.
A short time after the outrage
was committed Jones arrested two
Seminole Indians on the charge.
Instead of taking the Indians to
iail, he took them far into the woods
and held them three days. During
this time an immense posse was or
pauized, and when the third day ar
rived the posse took the Indians
from Jones and burned them at th'
stake. pierced their quivering bedIei
with knives and mutilated them IN
horrible manner. These Indians
were afterwards proven innocent O
the crime.
Jones was arrested for kidnapping
and holding the Indians fer tn
nosse and for that ofense he VII
serve twenty. one years in teioA
cell.

O.susrat. Measure to Defeat the Bond

holder.
Appleton City Herald.
When the next legislature meets,
sbill will bs passed, disorganizing
s.! Clair county, when it will return
10 the state and become part OF it,
coming under its protection and
care. Then that which is now st.
Clair county will be one of the best
governed divisions of the state. The
officers who control the affairs Of
this county will no longer need to
hide from United States marshals,
because they can no longer be i'm
prisoned, neither can anything be
collected as eithsr a compromise or
payment of fraudulent bonds, with
out the consent of the state. There
viii be much said against this plan,
by those who are in touch with the
bondholders, but this is the way and
only way that relief will come to tax
payers of St Clair county. We do
not know who will be our next rep
resentative, but we do know that
our good senator, Jno @. Whaley,
will leave nothing undone that may
be necessary to give our taxpayers
relief When this work is done, and
St. Clair county has the relief SO
much needed, she will again take
her place among the counties of the
state, and once more experience q
season of prosperity.

FOOD FOR BRAIN WORKERS
He SmouId Be Careful Not to
Overload Stomach

1t is all right, for the man who labors
all day in the open air to eat freely;
but the man of sedentary habits, the
brain worker, must adapt his way of
living to his needs. He must be well
nourished, for the brain is incapable
of good work unless we'll supplied with
pure blood, but such a man cannot
possibly furnish vital force to digest
three large meals daily. If he tries it
nature will protest at every step. The
chemical changes of digestion will be
lmperfectly performed. The stomach
Will neither secrete freely nor churn
the food with cheerful alacrity; the
pyloric orifice contracts and allows
such chyme to pass with grudging re-
luctance; the intestinal lacteais are
ashamed to absorb such miserable
pabulum, which chokes, irritates and
congests them, so the large meal re-
mains in the digestive organs to fer
ment, putrefy and steep the individual
in foul gases and depraved secretions.
But the system can furnish enough
vital force to convert a small meal into
pabulum of high standard, which will
be absorbed without difficulty. Three
such small meals are not enough to
keep this individual properly nourished.
Each should consist of but one or at
most two articles Of food, the diet to
be varied by changes at meals The por-
ton of food served must be small the
patient must stop as soon as the ap-
petite is satisfied, and gaseous disten-
ton is proof positive that the meals are
still too large or too close together.

A Labor Tangle

Marshall Fields new million-dollar
building opposite the new post office
is tiled up" because of an inch of
granite. A stone sent from the Yer
mont quarries encroached to this ex-
tent. There is no granite cutters union
in Chicago, but the agent of the Yer
mont Granite company is a member of
the union of that state for convenience
sake. When the trouble was reported
to him he said he was able to rectify
the error himself, and the following
day appeared with his tools and com
menced to cut off the offending inch
The local soft stone cutters union
saw him at work, and the walking dele
gates asked particulars of the agent
When he heard the story he said il
the agent did not desist, he would call
every union man off the building. The
contractors were brought into the mat
ter and they finally told the walking
delegate if he had any men here who
could cut the stone to send them
around. He sent two of his men, but
in the meantime the Vermont Stone
Cutters union heard of the trouble here
and sent word to the contractors that
if they allowed Chicago union men to
cut the stone, they would strike in the
Vermont quarries and no more stone
would be shipped to Chicago.
Pending a settlement of the absurd
conditions, work is almost at a stand
still on the building.-Cin En-

to London, thus helping on the rally be-
fore the trading began here. The vigor-
Gus support by distribution of large
buying orders through the principal
portions of the list was thus made eff
fective, and the recovery caused a
pause in the rush to liquidate, and the
market lost all appearance of excite
ment.
The rally of the market proved a
short-lived affair, and gave way to an
active resumption of the selling move
ment on the receipt of belated selling
orders from London. The list gave way
by degrees until the whole market sue
cumbed to Generalization. Losses were
marked particularly in New York Cen
trail, Louisville and Nashville and the
grangers. The industrial list suffered
acutely, Metropolitan dropping an ex-
treme points. Disappointment over
the small loan contraction shown by the
bank statement and renewed apprehen-
sion over the situation in Boston had
to do with the late decline. The net
losses ran up all the way from 8 to 8
points in the principal active stocks,
and no attempt at support was APP
parent except for hasty covering by
shorts in a few stocks, which caused
sharp rallies. In most instances the
last prices were the lowest of the
week, and in some cases of the year.
