PECULIAR IDEAS REGARDING A COMMON DIS


PECULIAR IDEAS REGARDING COMMON DIS

Mark Twain's cure n cold in the head

Although not able TO speak from personal expert
10 the effectiveness of this treatment it
certainly has the merit OF extreme economy, but ii
occurs 10 US that the application OF it to OF
nasal catarrh might be attended with difficulties.

Catarrh is certainly becoming a national disease,
and there is little doubt but that in diet, par
tieuarly overeat!ng, is a very common cause.
Most people, however, more interested In the
cure OF the trouble than in the cause, and modern
medical science has produced effective and iess
heroic remedies than Mr.. Twain's
Guaiacol is remedy, very effective in some
forms of Caiarrh. Euoalyptol is another which on
account OF its antseptc properties Is very valuable
while many severe of Chronic Ca,arrh have
been entirely cured by the sanguinaria extract of
Blood root alone
Within year an enterprisIng chemist has COM
bned all Of these remedies in tablet FORM palatable

over other catarrh remedies is apparent that all
druggists carry them in stock to supply the
popular demand
They called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. and 1t
is doubtful IL any medicine has achieved a national
popularity n short tinie this.

NO CLUE TO IDENTITY

COUNCIL BLUFFS. Iowa. October A.
Lying at the morgue in this city, with
bullet through his head. is a man, power
fully built, black hair and mustache, about
six feet tall, aged apparently forty-ive
years. He was one of two men who held
up the Kansas City passenger train on the
Burlington road, three miles south of this
city, at midnight Express Messenger Chas.
Baxter killed him.
The two men boarded the train at Union
Pacific transfer and climbed over the ten
der just as the train was crossing the Mos
quito creek bridge. Engineer Donnelly and
Frank Holman, fireman, who were in
charge of the engine, were ordered to slow
up as soon as the train had crossed the
bridge. While the man who is now dead
held a revolver on the engine crew, his
companion went back and cut off the bag
gage and mail cars, leaving the day
coaches and sleepers standing on the main
line.
Acting under orders, the engineer pulled
the train half a mile down the track, where
a stop was made. Here the robbers ap-
preached the express car and ordered Mes
senger Baxter to open the door He re-
fused to do SO. Under cOmpulsion. Engi
neer Donnelly attached stick of dyna-
mite to the side door of the car and blew 1T
open. In the meantime Messenger Baxter
the opposite side of the car AS soon
the door was opened one of the robbers
tered the car, while his companion marched
the engineer and fireman back to the en-
gine.
Baxter Got His Man.
Baxter crept around in front of the en-
gine. and seeing the robber keeping guard
over the engine crew, fired one shot and
killed him instantly. AS soon the shot
was heard the robber in the car jumped to
the ground and fled through a cornfeld.
The dead man was picked up, placed on
board and the train was backed to this
city. The body was searched. but nothing
was found on 1t by which 1t could be iden-
titled In the mans pockets were found
about SIS in money and a watch and chain.
The robber who escaped was larger and
taller than the dead man. being apparently
above six feet in height. Both men were
masked and both wore overalls and jump
ers. The door of the express car was badly
shattered by the explosion of dynamite.
The robber inside the car was preparing
to blow open the safe at the time his COM
panion was killed. He ceased operations
at once, and damage was done to the
contents of the car. Nor was anything
taken.
