Cecal EngIIsh IN England.

Legal English and the English OF
the plain mau were again IN conflict
yesterday. 1t was not place this
time, but ''bedding' 4 distress may
not be levied upon wearing apparel
and bedding" and distress had been
levied upon a bedstead; was that right
rwrong? In other words. is a bed
stead bedding? One counsel quoted
Chaucer to show that it was, which is
rather weak, since, as the other said,
so many people slept on shakedowns
on the floor in Chaucer's day. THE
nt-Minded Beggar" also vas
cited they'll put their sticks and
bedding up the spout" but that also
is weak, since "sticks" rather than
bedding" probably covers "bed-
stead" The plain man will agree that
a bedstead is not bedding. But it is
pretty clear that what the law meant
in this case was "what man sleeps
on" which makes bedsiead bedding
and the distress illegal, and it was so
held. 1t might be well to invest one $
wealth in q gorgeous bedstead for
security, much as Indian women in
vest theirs in bangles. Pail Nall

HOW WTAcUE COT CAFFNEY. :
4 Eusc by Which a Sheriff Secured tho
Drop on Il Dangerously Bad Man.

Let il be said in the first place that
there is nothing Of the white feather
about Tom NcTague. He is cool, he
is brave. he IS intrepid. Many a dGr-
ing exploit has he had in which ne
exhibited the highest qualities ui
courage. Oncc-it was back il iSS;-
Jim McNastcrs was Sheriff and Tom
was Under Shcliif; there was a gang
Of horse thieves operating i'll Mon
lana, along Flint Greek, i'll what e
now Granite County. They would
steal anything from . horse to 4 tcic-
graph pole. Everybody knew who
they were, but was afraid TO say a
word. Everybody realized that il he
made complaint lie would be buried
out OF house and home, his cattle and
property copfscated, all his property
either stolen or destroyed, and he and
his family left hopelessiy ruined.
The leaders OF this gang Of "bad
men" were Mark Ryan, Chris Gaf'-
ney and Jerry Qainlan. Tom Ne
Taguc go: after them. He landed
Ouinlan all right at New Chicago. He
traced GafTncy and located him and
man named Pat Dooley in charcoal
house at Lion Mountain, in Beaver
head County. Tom left his horse =
nile below and went into the charcoal
house all alone.
Il want you. Gafrey," said Nc
rague.
II am not Gaaney," said Galfney,
drawing his gun, "and you had better
get out OF here
Gaffney had the drop on McTague.
and there was no use parleying.
"Oh, we'll, ;" said McTague, ''if you
are not Gaffney I don't want you. I
have made mistake and beg your par
don. You looked so much like him
you deceived people and they put me
on to you. As matter OF fact, you
deceived me myself, for II have seen
Gaf'ney myself once or twice. Bat
come to inspect you more closely |
see well enough that you are lot Gaff-
ney. the man 1 am looking for, and
that's all right.
McTague turned to so. At that
moment Gaffuey dropped his gun.
Quick as flash McTague, who had his
own gun in his outside coat pocket,
drew it and had the drop on Gatf-
ney.
Now" said McTague, "no more
monkeying, Gaffney, or you are 4
dead man. You march, and do as [
tell you
McTague compelled both Gaffney
and Dooley to march outside the
house, ,hrew them y pair of handouts
with his disengaged hand and COM
PEELED them to put the handouts on
themselves. Then lie marched them
down to his convey ance and took
them safely TO Deer Lodge. Ryan was
caught at Glendale.
Unfortunately, however, the people
who had suffered from the depreda-
tions of the gang were still too terrified
to testify against them and they all
were acquitted. A year or two later
Gafrney was ohot dead in Deer
Lodge SALOON il q barroom dispute.

Yesterday eighty-sx horses, twenty-one ponies and 1O7 halters belonging to the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bros circus were attached by Sheriff Burgin at the in- stance of Thos J. McCabe, an ex-switch- man of the Southern Railway Company, who filed suit yesterday against the cir GUS in the Circuit Court for SiO000 dam ages.
 McCabe alleges that on November 6, 1896, when the circus was in Birmingham he purchased ticket to the performance and entered the tent, where he was assaulted and otherwise maltreated by one of the employees.
 The animals were marched through the street to Fies & Sons stables. They at tracted much attention and the officers had some trouble in getting the trick ponies to the stable with the aid Of green negroes wno were not "on to their curves" The fact that these animals were att taehed was soon known, and many feared that the performances would be seriously interfered with.
 The circus people, however, after tele- graphing to New York, succeeded in giv- ing repevy bond for $2J,GO0 and the ani-

PLAIN TALK.
ID Catarrh Sufferers.

Every person suffering from catarrh in It's many forms knows that the common lotions salves and douches do not cure. It is needless to argue this point or to cite cases of failure, because every victim Of catarrhal trouble knows it for himself II he has tried them.
 A local application, if it does anything at all, simply gives temporary Teller; wash, lotion, salve or powder cannot reacn the seat of the disease which is the blood.
 The mucus membrane seeks to relieve the blood of catarrhal poison by secretins large quantities of mucous, the discharge sometimes closing up the nostr1ls deoend- ing to the throat and larynx, causing ap irritating cough, continual clearing or the throat deafness, indigestion and many other disagreeable ana persistent symp- toms.
 A remedy to really cure catarrh' must be an internal treatment; a remedy which will gradually clense the system from ca- tarrhal poison and remove the fever and congestion always present in the mucous membrane.
 The best remedies for this purpose are Eucalyptol, Sanguinaria and Hydrastin, but the difficulty has always been to get these valuable curatives combined In one palatabie convenient and efficient form.
 Recently this has been eccQpplished and the preparation put on the market uQaSs the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they are large pleasant tasting lozenges so that they may be slowly dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching every part of the mucous membrane and finally the stomach and in- testines.
 An advantage to be considered also is that Sturat's Catarrh Tablets contain % cocaine, morphine or poisonous narcotics, so often found in catarrh powders and the use of which often entails a habit more dangerous than the disease
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at 50cts. for full sized package and are probably the safest and most ef- fectual catarrh cure on the market.

CAPT. SHIELDS AND
 HIS COMPANY LOST Entire Command Reported Miss ing By General Macarthur. FEARED MANY ARE KILLED Gunboat on Which They Were Being Transported Fell Into Hands of
 ilipinos-Belonged to Twen-
 ty-ninth Infantry
FEARED MANY ARE KILLED

Washington, September 2S.-The War Department has received the following ca blegram from General MaeArthur: Manila, Sept. 2S. "Adjutant General, Washington
 "September H. Capt. Devereaux Shields, ifty-one men, Company F, Twenty-ninth Regiment, United States Volunteer Infan- try, one hospital corps man. left Santa Cruz, Martinique by gunboat Vallabos for Torrijos, intending to return overland to Santa Cruz. Have heard nothing since from Shields. Scarcely doubt entire party captured with many killed or wounded, Shields among the latter.
 Information sent by letter from com manding officer at Boaz, dated 20th, re- ceived September 24, consisted of rumors through natives. Yorktown and two gun boats, George S. Anderson, colonel Thirty eighth Volunteer Infantry, two companies of Thrty-eighth Volunteer Infantry sent to Martinique immediately. Anderson confirms first report to capture, but un- able, September 2, to give details of pres ent whereabouts of Shields and party and names of killed and wounded The infor- nation probably available soon.
 Anderson has orders to commence op- erations immediately and move relentless ly until Shields and party are rescued. All troops expected soon. Logan will be sent to Martinique if necessary to clear up sit- uation. MACARTHUR.
 The Twenty ninth Infantry was recruit ed at Fort McPherson (Atlanta, Ga.) Cap tain Shields was lieutenant colonel of the Second Mississippi during the Spanish war. He was made captain in the Twen- ty-ninth Infantry July 5, 1899. He was a resident of Natchez, Miss, where his wife now resides
 The scene of this latest reverse is a small island lying due south of the southern coast of Luzon and about 300 miles from Manila. Martinique Is about "A miles in diameter and was garrisoned by two small attachments of United States troops. One of these was at Boeg on the west coast of the island and the other at Santa Cruz, the point port on the north side. Captain Shields appears to have started from San ia Cruz on gundoat for Torrijos, small coast ort, and 1t is inferred that the boat well the body of troops under that officer has been captured, for the dispatch makes no reference of her return
 The officers of the gunboat Villalobes were Lieut.. Edward Simpson, command ing; Ensign Erwin F. Landis and Naval Cadet Roe w. Vincent. Lieutenant Simp- son has seen over fourteen years actual sea service He entered the navy on June F, 1876 He returned from his last tour of sea service in May, 1896, and was assigned to shore duties. On February l, 1898, he was ordered to the Brooklyn. Ensign Lan- dis has seen not quite three years sea serv- ice. He joined the navy September 6, 1885, and his last cruise expired in May, 1S99 He was ordered to the Asiatic station on December 22, 1899. Cadet Vincent has had one year and seven months of sea service On February l. 1899, he was assigned to the New Orleans.
