At Pistol Point Seizes Purse
Containing $4,27O.
BACKED OUT OF THE BANK


Captured and the Cash Recovered.
Said Bank Owed Him Money and 1t
Was His Only Way to Break Even.
NASHVILLE, Aug. 27.-One of the
nerviest holdups in the history of the
profession was consumated in the Gil
max this morning, when a gambler se-
cured temporary possession of a purse
containing $4,270 in gold and green
backs. The banker had deposited the
money in q book on the table, and was
in the act of counting out the tickets.
when Tom Johnson picked up the book
and remarked that he needed it in his
business
The banker ordered johnson to put
the money down, when he had a revol-
yer thrust into his face
There were five men in the room and
Johnson covered all of them while he
backed out of the door, upon reaching
which he started down stairs in dead
run and made an effort to escape.
There was an exciting chase, partici-
pated in by several negro porters about
the place, and Johnson was overhauled
by policeman. The money was recov-
cred and Johnson was committed to
Jail. He gave as an excuse that the
house owed him money and that was
the only chance he had to break even.

cHINA's POSITION WORSE.
Views of British Consul General at
Shanghai.

LONDON, Aug. 27.-Byron Brennan,
British consul general at Shanghai, who
has just returned to England, said to a
representative of the Associated Press
today:
"From the standpoint of foreign IN
terests, the position in China is far
worse today than before the interna-
tional occupation of Peking. Formerly
the Chinese believed foreign interests
were, at any rate to a certain extent,
Identical. Thanks to recent events they
are now better able than ever to play off
one power against another, so patiently
have the interests of the several powers
been shown to diverge. There is a very
hostile feeling in many parts of north =
ern China and local disturbances may
be expected.
Mr.. Brennan declared that Russia
and Germany both had far more infu-
ence with the Chinese government than
Great Britain. He believed the United
States would be the greatest sufferer by
the closing of Manchurla to foreign
trade.

LATE POTATOES.
Bugs Don't Trouble Them and Fail
Rains Make Them Large.


We think it always best to pillow early
for late potatoes and then work fire.
quently to kill weeds and conserve
moisture and warm up the ground and
then not plant until about the middle
of June. The seed will have to be look
ed after to keep 1t from sprouting.
This can be done by spreading it out
thinly in light place and shoveling 1t
over about twice n week. 1t will wilt
and shrink up some, but this won't
hurt it, 1t can be cut few days be-
fore planting If kept dry and protected
from the sun.
II you have no regular potato planter,
furrow out deep with n shovel plow
and cover with something drawn by
the team. II the sun shines hot, the
seed should be covered as fast as drop
as 1t lies in the burrows. Run the har-
row over the patch once or twice be-
fore the vines come up, and you will
get rid of nearly all weeds.
The potatoes will come up In about
week IL the weather Is warm and the
ground damp and continue TO grow
from the start. Planting at this time
Of the year will bring 1t out of season
for the first crop of bugs, and by the
time the second crop comes on the
vines will not bother much. Bugs don't
like rank vines, as they don't seem To
be just suited to their taste.
The vines will be small without any
tubers on them in the dry part of the
season, and by the time fall rains come
the potatoes will be formed and large
enough 10 require all the moisture there
is likely to be- and they will grow very
rapidly. They should not be dug until
the vines are killed by the frost, and 1t
Is always best to let them remain In
the ground for some time after, as they
will ripen up and be Of better quality.
They should be dug before too hard
freezing and before the ground be-
comes soft and muddy. Your tudg-
ment must be used In these things.
II not muddy, they can be picked up
without waiting for them to dry and
stored as fast as dug. 1t won't hurt
them to store when damp, as they al
ways have to go through the sweat
when stored in large piles, concludes
l. U. Cowdrey Of Michigan, writing to
Ohio Farmer.

SINKING SPELLS
ALARMING SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED
IN A SWORN STATEMENT.

drs. W. T. Clark. of Rome. n. Y, Tells Why
She is Now Recommending IA Well
known Remedy to Her Friends.
Indigestion and stomach trouble have
many results that are not always readily
traced to their real cause. Sometimes
the kidneys are apparently affected but
more often an irregularity of the heart g
action produces a far more alarming
symptom. The cause is easily explained
and is removed when the stomach trouble
is cured. A case In point is that of Mrs.
W. T. Clark, of 318 West Thomas street,
Rome, N. Y. She says:
ITO begin with, had gastritis, which
brought on sinking spells for about an
hour every morning. was very weak
and nervous and finally was compelled
to take to my bed. Ny illness began in
the spring of 1897, and continued for
about four months. For about half this
time was confined to my bed. suffered
greatly from the stomach trouble and
nervousness, but what alarmed me most
was the sinking feeling at the heart.
81 had read about DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and when some of
my friends recommended the pills very
highly, I decided to give them trial. I
bought one box and by the time this was
used up the sinking spells had ceased.
felt better but continued taking the
pills until had used twelve boxes. I
still keep the pills in the house for I
believe that they are q splendid medicine.

Pills to my friends who are ailing for I
know that they will do all that is claim
ed for them"

AgriculturnI Brexities.

a four years test on Long Island
soils supports the idea that 1000
pounds Is the most profitable amount
of high grade fertilizer to use per acre
for potatoes.
Cow and horse manure supplement
one another, the former being rich In
potash, the latter in nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid. Together they form a
complete manure, furnishing In good
proportions the three essential constit-
uents of plant food.

May Is likely to become infested with
lice. 1t is a plant which does best
when sown in July and allowed to
grow In the late summer and fall, says
L. A. Clinton in Country Gentleman.
In buying manure preference should
be given to that of grain fed animals.
