Red Swan Terrifes sparrows.



In the little yard surrounding the
Twenty first district police station, at
Thirty-seventh street and WoodIawn
avenue, is a fountain to which all the
sparrows of the neighborhood have
been accustomed to come for their
drinks and their morning baths. The
water flows from the mouth of a metal
swan, and as long as the artificial
bird preserved the nutral color
of the metal the sparrows paid not the
slightest attention. Recently the swan
was painted brilliant red. and next
morning, when the sparrows fiocked
about the fountain for their baths, they
were apparently Mortified to see the big
red monster None of them would ven
ture near the fountain. They congre-
gated in a neighboring tree, and a noisy
council of war was held. Such a chat
tering had seldom been heard Finally
they all flew off in search of other water.
Gradually however, they have come
back. The holder ones now take hasty
plunges in the fountain and fly away to
tell the more tinid ones that the red
swan shows no inclination to dispute
their rights.

his death are Of a peculiar nature. He
was an ernploye at the hospital for In
sane at that place and had not been
well for some time and was taking
medicine regularly, altho being up and
around. Sunday night he retired as u.s.
ual. and was found dead in the morn
ing. Those in position to know say
that he took some poisonous medicine
by mistake, but what kind your CORE
spondent Is unable to ascertain. No
tenable cause can be given for suicide,
as he was earning good living, having
no one to provide for other than him
self. inasmuch as he was divorced from
his wife more than a year ago. Some
years ago his father, a painter, fell
from the opera house here and was In
stantly killed.

Sioux City, May 2s.-The candidacy
of j. w. Hallam, of Sioux City, for the.
attorney generalship has assumed;
much greater proportions than his
friends at first anticipated. He has
made partial tour of the several dis
5tricts of the state. and has made an ex-

Mr.. Hallam is a splendid lawyer. and a
very affable gentleman to meet, and
in the second place there are a great
many who feel that in the coming cleo
ton it is only due to the Eleventh dis
trict TO give it place on the ticket. Mr..
Hallam entered the field early, and so
far there are no other candidates in the
district for any place on the republican
ticket this year. There IS another thing
in favor of Mr.. Hallanl-he is hustler.
and has been in politics long enough to
know what it means to enter cam

he may we'll be proud of. His constitu.

he would be very strong man We're III

pulled a revolver and shot Smith. who
was still kneeling on the ground

An INrERNAI REMEpIY. q
a Pleasant Tasting Tablet; simple.
Convenient; Cures Every Form OF


Catarrh. VI
The use of inhalers, douches. sprays
salves and powders for catarrh is q
nuisance and Inconvenience at the best,
and can not compare with antlseptic
remedies in tablet form for internal use.
Internal remedies are the only ones
which can really reach the seat of the.
idisease, which is in the blood, and local
applications can no more cure catarrh
than rheumatism or kidney trouble, the
excessive secretion in nose and throat.
being local manifestations of a deep
seated poison in the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the most
successful Of the various internal rene
dies, is composed principally Of highly
concentrated antiseptics which destroy
the catarrh germs in the blood and
causes them to be eliminated thru the
natural channels.
Progressive physicians use and advise
tStuart's Catarrh Tablets, because they
contain no cocaine, no opiate. no ener-
waiting drug whatever, but are composed
or Guaicol, Hydrastin. Red Gum and
similar catarrh antiseptics, and are go
safe and pleasant that even little chill
dren may use them with excellent re-
suits.
Catarrh sufferers who have wasted
time and money on local applications
should not despair of a radical cure I'M
til a trial of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
has been made.
A complete treatment may be pur-
chased at any drug store for SO cents.

Anamosa, May 29.-Warden Hunter
and Receiving and Discharging Guard G..
E. Beams, Of the Anamosa penitentiary,
have left for Salt Lake City. Utah.
where they have been notified that two
escaped convicts are lodged. The chief
OF police Of Salt Lake City has been
supplied with photographs and de-
scriptions of the men and it is believed
that there can be no question as to the
Identification Of the pair.
The men are L. j. NIeekin. alias F. j.
Andrews, who escaped from the Ana
mosa prison July %. 1896, and Charles
King. who escaped in April, 1885,
Andrews occupied cell with another
convict. He had secreted himself in
the yard. On each cell door is a board
bearing the name and number of the
occupants. On Andrews cell We're two
boards, there being two occupants. An
drews partner removed in some man
ner his (4Andrews') board. When the
guard made the count the number of
men tailed with the number of boards
and the fugitiye's absence was not dis
covered until the following morning.
During the night he had scaled the
walls and made good his escape. II
was the last heard OF him until the
prcsen. time. He was sent Up for fouc
years for burglary from Dubuque
county
King was employed at the state
quarry and made his escape in COM
pany with another convict. Hammond
1t was afterward discovered the pair
had been planted in pile Of rock. King
was sent up for robbery from Linn
county and had but a few months to
serve when he escaped.
Both men are old offenders. 1t is q
| singular fact that, having escaped al
such widely different times, the two
should have been rounded up together
