STILL AT LARGE.
Marsha McNutt Returns From
kuttawa Empty Handed.
Al Last Accounts Two Men on |
Boat Had Seen the
Fugitive.

RON Tuesdays daily.
AL Tumblin, the slayer Of Young
Newton Riley at Kuttawa, has not
yet been captured. Marshal McNutt.
of Mayfield. went to Kuttaws yester-
day with clue as to Tumblin's
whereabouts and returned last even
ing saying that two young men had
arrived In Kuttawa on a steamboat
with the information as to his place OF
hiding.
They said that they were well ao-
quainted with Tumblin and had seen
him that day. They furthermore
stated that they knew where he
stayed night before last and did not
think he had yet left the place. A
posse OF men accompanied the in.
formants but nothing has been heard
from them 80 far.
There are many different tales
afloat about the fugitive and he was
at one time located near Dycusburg.
The posse could not find him al.
though the swamps where he was sup
posed TO have been were thoroughly
searched. 1t is very probable that
Tumblin will not b. taken alive I'M
less caught unawares as he is I'M
doubtedly desperate man and
knows what awaits him IL captured.

AN ARMLESS WONDER.
JOHN FOX OF NEW JERSEY HAS
NO ARMS, BUT HE CAN FISH,
SHOOT, Pillow, AND SAW
WOOD.

New Brunswick. n. j., August ID.
John Fox of Milltown. near this
city. has reached the conclusion that
man can get along Just as well with
out arms as with them # he will but
make up his mind TO do so. Fox Is
the mail carrier at Midtown, = posi-
tion which he has held since he lost
his arms in riill accident thirty-two
years ago. He has hook fastened
TO the stump Of each arm, and with
these he can do more than many men
who have the use Of their arms and
hands.
Fox is the champion fisherman of
Midtown. He can bait his own hook
and cast his line. he can reel in
any fish that inhabits Midtown
waters. When asked IL he had any
trouble taking a fish on the hook, he
replied that it was not half a. much
trouble as getting him on. Fox also
cultivates a small patch Of grouno adj
joining his house. He can drive a
horse to the pillow, holding the pillow in
position with a rope thrown over his
shoulders and guiding the reins by the
hook arms He is also an accurate
shot, being able to bring a bird or
rabbit down with n shot gun. He cuts
his own supply Of frewood with a
bucksaw.
Fox is also an accomplished me
chanic. lie has constructed without
aid, large cider press. He cut out
every part, bored the holes for the
bolts and fitted the various parts to-
gether without the least difficulty.
He is now ~ years Of age.
Speaking of how he gets along the
old man said: Anybody can get
along without his arms II he has to.
Every tins | row, fish or hunt or
pillow find better way to do it, and
it continually grows easier to get
along"

HUMAN LIFE PROLONGED.

One fact brought out by the Twelfth
census is of more practical Importance
than all the rest put together. Il is
that within the last ten years the av-
erage term Of life enjoyed by a citizen
Of the United States has increased per.
oeptibly, the death rate having de.
creased one and one-half per aBnum
for every 1000 Of population.
This decrease is due mainly to the
circumstance that fewer people die Of
typhoid fever, consumption, scarlet fe
yer, diptheria, Group, troubles Of the
nervous system, and diarrhoeal com.
plants. Medical knowledge CT means
for combating diptheria and GROUP
has improved to sneh an extent that
the mortality from these diseases has
been reduced one-half.
On the other hand, certain diseases
have killed OF a greater number Of
people in the last decade than pre-,
viously, and among these cancer,
Bright's disease. heart disease, dropsy
and pneumonia are conspicuous, II il
more than suspected that the use Of al
cohol has much to do with the mul.
duplication Of troubles Of these kinds,
our national drink bill" having aver.
aged over seventeen and one-half gal.
Ions per capita each year since the cen
sus Of 1890.
DIR. George M. Kober, professor Of
Hygiene in Georgetown University,
ID. O., calls attention to the fact that
in three hundred years the average
length Of human life has been doubled.
In the sixteenth century it was BE-
tween 10 and 20 years; at the clos
Of the eighteenth it was a little over
80 years, and today IL Il over 40
years Indeed, the span Of life has
been heightened about six years

tion and medical discoveries,
