The Elk Mountain pilot., 1900-12-18

Public sentiment will generally ap-
prove the action of the New York
sheriff who recently arrested a lady
cyclist." She was trying to cover
three thousand miles in quicker time
than that distance had ever been rid
den before, and when the sheriff in
kerfered had already covered twenty
six hundred miles in less than twelve
days. She was in such piriable con-
dition that people living near the
scene of her riding made complaint. 1t
may not be necessary to regard such a
person as a criminal. but any one who
knows no better than to impose such
a strain upon her own health, II not
upon her life, is better off in custody
than out of 1t.

The wife of Ii Hung Chang has the
credit of being not only the richest
woman in China but also of being the
most luxurious woman on earth.
Twice daily Mrs. Ii bathes in oil OF

The latest exposition of rural mail
delivery in the United States is the
remarkable route extending three
thousand miles beyond the reach OF
the mail-boats in Alaska. The car
riers are descendants of reindeer i'm
ported from Siberia in 1892. of which
there are now twenty large herds in
Alaska, notwithstanding frequent
newspaper assertions that the reindeer
are all dead

en- away If the parents would not bold
the agency or the school responsible for
the consequences.
An effort was made to wrap the little
ones up and protect them, but the In
dians did not wait for any such pre-
cautions. They rushed at the building
and carried the children off, regardless
of their condition. Had it not been for
the troops, it is thought clash might
have occurred tonight. BY this after
noon the school was almost deserted
except by the employees.

Care of the sick can scarcely reach
its highest ideal save where personal
attachment supplements knowledge
and skill. Therefore. it belongs to the
life of every woman. There are few
households indeed where any girl can
grow up without some opportunities
for this experience. Such opportuni-
ties may well be supplemented by lee
lures, courses of reading and we'll
planned demonstrations.

of Ill years, having been born in

terms
During my long life have known
q great many remedies for coughs.
colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. l had
always supposed these affections to

learned from DIR. Hartman's bookI
that these affections are the same and
are properly called catarrh.
LAS for DR.. Hartman's remedy, Pc
runa, 1 have found it to be the best.
II not the only reliable remedy for
these affections.
"Peruna has been my standby
for manyyears, and Iaffribufe my

all my requirements.

entirely for the many little things for
which 1 need medicine. believe it to
be especially valuable to old people,"
Isaac Brock.

Young CRATER Confdence Game
on a Church.
Bonaparte., Feb. 16.-A young man
tried TO work novel confidence game
upon the members of one of our
churches, Sunday evening. He told a
tale OF woe to the pastor, Rev. Scho-
field and so worked upon his sym
pathies that the minister allowed him
to occupy his pulpit on Sunday even
ing and take up a collection for the
purpose of assisting him thru college.
He, said he had been attending college
at Kirksville, Mo-, but had been oblig-
ed to quit because of his poverty.
News spread that a wonderful boy
preacher from Missouri was to occu-
Ply the pulpit and an immense congre-
cation gathered to hear him. The fell
low couldn't preach at all, and after
muttering for a while on Social
Evils. was obliged to stop in confus-
ion. The audience divided itself into
groups, some of whom were laughing
and some mortified at the fact that
they had been sold. 1t is needless to
say the young man got no money.
Wednesday an officer from Pennington
came up and took the fellow back to
that place, on the charge of having
jumped his board bill. He had been
working in the Herald Office at Farm
ington.

sHROUDED In MYSTERY.
Remains Of a Missing Man Found
in a Gave.

West Union, Feb. 17.-William Huff,
an aged gentleman of this city, was
found dead in cave three and one
half miles east of town Thursday
night, and the circumstances of his
death are shrouded in mystery.
Huff, who is IS years of age, disap-
peared from his home last Christmas
morning and since that time diligent
search had failed to discover any trace
of his whereabouts. On the evening
prior to his disappearance he had a
slight quarrel with his son-in-law over
some trifling matter, and in the morn
ing it was found that he had disap-
peared. When found the body was ly-
ing on its back, with cap and mittens
still on, one hand thrown carelessly
over the chest and every indication tha,
death had come peacefully to the aged
gentleman. There was no frost in the
cave and the body was not frozen,
which dispels the theory that he had
frozen to death.
