is the time to get the poison out of your

Mr.. s. NJ. Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta

Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various
other drugs and applied externally numerous

A MOUSE AT THE REVIVAL.

Late corners at the revival services in the lecture room of the Bennington Baptist church on Tuesday. night thought there must be a break in he water pipes. for the women of the con- gregation all sat with their feet on the rounds of their chairs. They held their skirts up. too and appeared un- easy.
 Here he isl" yelled a boy who was so excited that he thought he was whispering.
 A tiny mouse. bright-eyed and frisky, whisked across the back of the room and took refuge in a pile of hymn books. There was a rustling of skirts all over the room, and Rev. L. D. Temple. pastor of the church. who had been exhorting with the house as a handicap for half an hour, stopped talking and appeared to be thinking deeply.
 ''Is that mouse in the aisle now?' he asked in a masterful way. as though the mouse had gone about far enough
 A shudder ran through the audience, and the women looked appealingly at the shepherd. The boy gesticulated wildly in the direction of the stack of hymn books and sat down, embar- rassed by his prominence.-
 ''I think that if those who are afraid will place their feet on the rounds of their chairs. we can proceed" said the Rev. Mir. Temple. as though he had solved the problem. and fifty pairs of feminine feet took the hint.-New York World.

FIxINGs FOR THE HOUSE.

Haytien mahogany for furniture is a novelty just brought out.
 Among the most attractive of the new fall draperies heavy armures oc- cupy a prominent position. The colors are exceptionally attractive. and al- together they make most effective draperies.
 Parisians have a new effect in win dow hanging that has become very popular there. but probably would not be so with our more conservative housewives. This consists of a grace fully hung window treatment with a heavy curtain one side and a lace cur tain draped on the other side.
 Artistic decorators lay great stress upon the good effect of a bric-a-brac shelf when properly handled and it's contrary result when overdone. They say a home Is not a bazaar, to be over crowded with bric- brac. all kinds of woods. colors. etc, in one great con- fusion Beware of overcrowding the pieces of your bric-a-prac shelf. To break the sameness of the ornaments with a small photograph of Madonna head. etc, in a deep brown frame or a dainty head in water colors in a gilt frame is extremely good where the woodwork is dark. A few books piled one on the other look well. too.

Mt. Pleasant People Believe At
tempt at Abduction Was Made.
THE VICTIM WAS A LITTLE GIRL
She Fought the Alleged Abductors
and Screamed so Loudly That the
Men Were Compelled to Desist-
Girl Relative of Beckwiths.

Mt. Pleasant, Jan. 19.-Considerable
excitement was occasioned yesterday
by what appeared to be an attempt to
abduct little Ruth Porter, the g.
year-old girl of Mr.. and Mrs. Asbury
Porter, The little girl attends school
at Winona and getting out little ear
ly was on a nearby pond skating
when two men in buggy drawn by a
pair of horses, one bay and the other
white, drove up. One of the men
sprang out of the buggy and running
over to the little girl grabbed her by
the arm and told her to come along.
Frightened half out of her wits the lit
tie girl screamed and fought SO vi
ciously that the man desisted from his
attempts to drag her off the pond, and
Fastening to his team jumped in and
drove rapidly to the north.
The first suggestion that arises as
to the motive in such an assault is
that the men recognized in the little
girl the favorite niece of Mrs. Beck
with and Mrs. Mcclure, who would
be willing to pay handsomely for her
recovery. On the other hand it seems
impossible to believe that kidnap-
ing would be attempted with so ma
ny chances for apprehension. 1t would
be interesting to know just what was
meant by the assault. So far as is
known the officers are doing nothing
in the matter.

BuRLINeToN's FOUNDER DEAD.
Built the First Log House on Site Of
CITY.

wy
Burlington, Jan. 49, Simpson S.
White, the man who built the first log
cabin on the site of Burlington, has
just died in Portland, Oregon, at the
age of SO years. His has been one of
the most remarkable lives in the histo-
~ of western pioneer days. He was
born in Franklin county, Indiana, in
1911, and, in 1929, with his wife and
two brothers-in-law, AMI Doolittle
and Milton McCarver, crossed the Mis-
sissippi river at this point and erected
a log cabin at the mouth of little
creek which they named the Hawkeye,
after the chief of a tribe of Indians
which had a camp near by On the
spot where the cabin stood now rises
the big B. & M. elevator. On the night
of their arrival White killed bear on
the site of the present city hall A
trading store was erected and a pros
porous business in barter with the In
dians followed A little settlement
grew up and in time was called Flint
Hills from the nature of the rock for
nation at this point. The place was
later called Burlington. In 1S45 White
went to Oregon, where the next year
he was appointed the first probate
judge of the state by Governor Aber-
nathy. In 1S49 he joined the rush for
the gold fields and had the usual expe-
rience of rough miner life. He after
wards returned to Oregon and was lat.
er elected to the state legislature He
held various offices of trust and died
a well-to-do and highly respected man.
Burlington is thinking of erecting
some suitable memorial to the found.
er of the city.

much good.
Parents, patrons, school officers

crime, but led to no clew either to the
criminals or the whereabouts of the
child.
About two months after the abduc-
ton the police found a clew which
seemed to fix the crime on William
Mosher and Joseph Douglass, two no.
torious burglars whose field of opera
lions had been in Philadelphia. Will
liam Westervelt, a brother-in-law of
Mosher told the story of the abduction
and so fixed the guilt.
On the night of December IA, 1874,
Mosher and Douglass robbed the
house of Judge Van Brunt at Bay
Ridge. The brother of the judge shot
them both, killing one and fatally
wounding the other. The dead man
was Mosher. Douglass, before he
died, confessed that they had stolen
Charlie Ross.
Walter Ross identified Mosher as
the man who took his brother. West
ervelt was sentenced to seven years
in the penitentiary for completely in
the crime, but Douglass and Wester-
welt both admitted that the boy would
never be found, because he was be-
yond life.
Since that time many cases of al.
legged Charlie ROSES have appeared
in various parts of the country. Mr.
Ross spent his little fortune trying to
find his son, but without avail, and
about ten years ago his mind gave
way under the strain and he was sent
to an asylum for the insane.
