A VETERAN
Tells Of a Thrilling Experience
in the Civil War and How
a Newspaper Article
Saved His Life.

Many veterans OF the rebellion can
recall incidents as thrilling as the cav
airy charge in which the narrator of
the following experience nearly lost
his life. and, unfortunately, many OF
the old soldiers have disabilities that
are unpleasant reminders OF their days
in the army. To all such this story
will have peculiar interest and msy
show the way to restore health,
strength and energy. Mr.. William H.
Whiting, of Mt. Holly, Va, says:
"When the Civil war began | was
living in Buffalo and there l Joined
Co. r, OF the Tenth New York Caval-
ry. In 1853, while serving with nay
company. received sabre cut that
caused paralysis. For eight months
WAS obliged to lie in the hospital at
Washington, ID. c. ! afterwards
tried many doctors, but the paralysis
remained as bad AS ever. / suffered
from chiIls and my general health
WAS not good.
'This continued until about eight
years ago when read in newspaper
Of the cures effected by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. ! began
taking the pills and soon found they
were doing me good. In six months
time l WAS completely cured. The
paralysis has not returned and | never
have the CHI ills now. My general
health is also better than when be-
gan taking Pink Pills for Pale People.
Away keep them with me and, in
the eight years that have passed since
| first took them, / have never had
occasion TO call on doctor.
II have recommended DIR. Will
Iiams' Pink Pills to many people, and
good results have always followed
their use. T"

PUBLIC LAND IN NEW MEXICO
Tract of 100000 Acres Soon to Be
Opened to Settlement.

SANTA FE, N. M, April 2i-The
decision of the United States supreme
court rejecting the Estancia land grant
will throw open to public entry a tract
OF 100000 acres in Valencia county.
which has been in controversy for for
ty years between the Oteros and the
Whitneys.
The Oteros claimed the land under
grant alleged TO have been made to
Batelema Baca in 1919, and the Whit
neys under a grant alleged to have
been made to Antonio Handoval in
lS45. A three-cornered fight devel-
oped, the United States being the
third party. The Otero case was
tried first. The court of private land
claims gave the claimants about So.
900 acres of the 100000 claimed. Both
sides appeared and the whole claim
was rejected. The Whitney claim
was tried next. The legal battle was
a bitter one and resulted in victory
for the United States in both the court
of private land claims and in the
United States supreme court.
Hundreds of persons have already
filed applications for land on this fer.
tile tract, which will be thrown open
to settlement as soon as the proper
surveys are made.

JESSE JAMES LAST HOME.
House Where He Was Killed to Be
Put on Exhibition.

ST. JOE, Mo-, April 24.-The house
which was for some time the home OF
Jesse James, the noted bandit, and
| where Bob Ford a member of the
gang, assassinated him, will be re-
moved to krug park and become one
of the attractions of that resort
The house since the death of the
bandit has been one of the sights
which strangers ask to visit. 1t has
always been the property of Prof.
Emil Hahn, well known musician
of this city. from whom Jesse James
rented the premises. All the noted
actors who have visited st. Joseph in
twenty years have made pilgrimages
to the Jesse James home when they
were in this city.
The room in which the bandit was
assassinated has never been occupied
since Jesse was caught off guard by
Ford, who sent bullet crashing
through his brain. Much of the fur
niture which was used by the James
family at the time of the tragedy is
still in the room, although the larger
pieces OF the bedroom set were re-
moved by the widow of the bandit
when she left the city. The chair up
on which Jesse James stood when he
busted the cobwebs OFF the picture that
hung on the east wall, the opportuni-
ty seized by Ford for firing the fatal
shot. is still there, although badly
distigured by relic hunters. The
house has always been rented to oc-
cupants with the express understand
ing that they were not even to invade
killed.
1t is with peculiar feelings that the
visitor steps from the comfortably
furnished rooms OF the building into
the one where the bandit died Tho
contrast impresses the sightseer for-
cibly. There in the wall, several
inches to the right of the east door,
is the gaping hole made by the bullet
that killed Jesse James. after having
passed through his brain. The wall
paper has been torn from the walls
on all sides, as high as man can
reach, by relic hunters. and the wood
work has been cut and hacked on all
sides by those eager to carry away
some memento of the old James
home On every available inch of
the wall surface people of all nation
alities, conditions and ages, have writ
ten their names. Theatrical compa-
MES are advertised here. Lecturers.
rich and poor men. have all written
their names on the walls. until not a
square inch remalns white. There
was once fence around the lot, but
that has followed the wall paper, bit
by bit, and has been accompanied by
every tree, shrub and flower in the
yard
