He is Strung I'D.

But now comes a startling though
logical sequel, to the alleged murder
of the dentists first wife. The story,
which appears to be authenticated,
comes from a town in Washington,
to the effect that Goodmanson. after
going to the northwest married
again. and that his second wife died
under such exceedingly suspicious
circumstances that the strenuous
men of the town determined that
there was no doubt of his guilt and
consequently no need of putting the
county to the expense of a pro-
longed trial, so made short shrift of
the gay. bad man Goodmanson by
stringing him up by the neck in n
way that renders him incapable of
ever having a chance to take the life
of third spouse.
GOOdmanSon was not personally
unknown here, having visited in Rock
Island and Moline at various times,
where he created n decidedly pleas
ing impression by his accomplished
and debonair manners.

! The towns embraced in the West

discuss the advisability of BUSTING
President Hickey. who has so long
been the moving spirit i'm the affairs
of the organization. The matter is
of particular interest here because
NJ. Il. Sexton, of this city, president
of the Three-I league, has received
letters from a number of managers
in the Western league sounding him
with reference to his becoming the
successor of President Hickey in the
event Of Il. failure of the latter to Sc

president for the division of the
league into two separate circuits was
discussed with little favor. Presi-
dent Hickey came in for considera bile
criticism and il is doubtful if the
six clubs represented at the meeting
will vote for his retention i'm office If
a suitable candidate can be found for
his successor.
Mr.. Sexton is understood to view
the Western league proposition in the
same light as he did the many urgent
requests that ne retain his present
position in the ThreeI league-his
business interests will not admit of
his cxpending further time in pro-
noting the national game.

He went back to his old seat at the
palazzo door only once.
That was about month after. He
had been particularly restless that
morning, so the habitues OF the plaza
said. He changed his seat two or
three times, and then went over to
the obelisk erected to the memory of
the troopers who had fallen at
Apache canyon, and stood looking at
it long and meditatively, with the
air of a man who had just noticed it

MoNTEzUMA,s WELL.
Pleasing Natural Cu-ao.asx .. Az.
soma That Has . Striking
Feature.

One OF the most pleasing natural
euriosities in the territory of Arizona
is the pool of water known as Mon
tezuma's we'll, says the Native Amer
lean. 1t is situated Is miles north
east of the old, abandoned military
post known as Camp Verde. 1t is
$50 feet in diameter, and the clear.
pure water is about 60 feet below
the surface of the surrounding coun-
try. Some years ago certain mill
tary officers sounded the pool and
found that it had uniform depth
of 80 feet of water, except in one
place. apparently about six feet
square, where the sounding line went
down about 500 feet without touch
Ing bottom.
The we'll empties into Beaver creek
only about 100 yards distant, the water
gushing forth from the rocks as
though it were under great pressure.
The well is undoubtedly supplied
from subterranean sources, possibly
through the hole sounded by the army
officers years ago. The sides Of the
we'll are honeycombed with caves and
tunnels, permitting sightseers to de-
scend to the waters edge
Montezuma's we'll contains no fish.
The flow of water through it is the
same throughout the seasons. Popu-
lar opinion has attributed the origin
OF the we'll to volcanic action, but as
The rock surrounding it is limestone
it is more than probable that the ac-
zion of the water is responsible for It's
creation.

One of the methods of protecting

good opportunity for inventors to de-

ground like horserake, shall burn
the grass clean from space about
eight or ten feet in width. Already
an apparatus of this kind has been
Invented, using gasolene to set the

A DOCTOR THIS TINE.

Portland, May CDR. E. A. Rose,
q practicing physician, formerly of
Yates Center, Kan, was on what
everyone supposed was his death bed.
He had Diabetes, and six of his brother
doctors were in attendance and con-
sultation at his bedside. They had
done everything that medical skill
could suggest to save his life, but they
were at last reluctantly forced to tell
him that he must prepare for death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up, she insisted that
as last resort, he be given treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose, the tide
turned in his favor. His life was saved,
and he is hale and hearty to-day.
This case and it's cure has amazed
the physicians, and is the sensation of
the hour. It is interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured by this great discovery in medi-
cine, the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
while the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as rheumatism, Sciatica,
Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fee
male Weakness disappear before it,,
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy,
which have always been regarded as
incurable, are yielding just as easily.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super
seding all other treatments for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has it's origin in the
Kidneys, the use Of this wonderful
medicine is becoming almost universal.

Along the woodsy ouNand. way,

There Is no thing in all the land
That does not seem articulate;
The grasses smile, and understand
The vireo calling to his mate.

In sighings murmurous as the sea:
And through the birchen copse beneath
There runs a fluting harmony.
In. the half-dusks Of tangled green
The pale wild-rose's censor burns,
And In each hollow may be seen
The fragile laceries of the ferns.
While over all, for all to share,

Mist-winnowed by the searching air.

alta, and, without word, walk
across the plaza to Colorado Charley's
and there disappear for about ten
minutes. Then they would walk
back, side by side, and resume their
seats until the next intermission. At
nightfall they meandered of to the
little house that Old Mercedes kept
in order for them, ate their, evening
meal, and after o postprandial pipe,
rolled themselves in their blankets
and addressed themselves to slumber.
That was their daily routine.
In course of time 'Lish died. That
occasioned no surprise, for he had
long passed the allotted span of life;
but it was thought strange that Hank
was not more affected. Hank put on
his other clothes and went around
to the carpenter, Manuel Gonzales,
and made arrangements about the
coffin with absolute impassiveness,
and only grunted in response to
Manuel's fearful condolences. To
those who spoke to him about the
death on the way there and back he
returned the same grunt, and Moth
ing more; nevertheless Manuel, when
he took the coffin up to the house,
found him sitting at the rough deal
table, his chin between his hands and
an unlighted pipe between his teeth,
staring straight before him in such
abstraction that the little carpenter
had to touch him on the shoulder to
make him aware of his presence.
That night Manuel had occasion to
go past the house quite late, and.
tip-toeing up to the window, he saw
Hank in exactly the same position.
That might have meant grief. Man
uel, in the discussion at Colorado
Charley's as to whether Hank cared
dern, took the position that it did
mean grief.
At the funeral Hank showed an in.
decently small amount of emotion
in fact, no emotion at all; but the
day after he began to act strangely.
He took his accustomed seat at the
ipalazzo door, but before an hour had
passed he got up and wandered rest
lessly along Francisco street, return-
ing at last to seat himself on bench
in the plaza. At the usual time he
went and took his usual drink, but
after that he went sometimes often.

DID PERsEus EXPLODED
Conjecture as to the New Light Tha,
Has Appeared in the
Heavens.

We wonder if any person in the
world has been frightened by the ap-
pearance and disappearance of the
new star in Perseus, of which astron-
omers have recently made so much.
Somebody ought to have been, says
the London Spectator. The new light
probably appeared because sun had
exploded, or because two suns had col
lided, evolving temporarily an almost
uncomfortable quantity of flame. If a
distant sun could explode, SO could our
sun, and if two suns could collide, some
sun of which we know nothing may
be rushing at pace which the mind
does not grasp, though the brain can
calculate it, toward our own. There
should be something alarming to the
imaginative in that idea, but, so far
as we know, nobody has been alarmed.
The catastrophe in Perseus, whatever
its cause, must have occurred so years
ago to give the light time to get here,
and catastrophes SO inconceivably dis
tant are outside the range even of the
imagination. We read of them as we
read of quintillions, grasping the
words, but not the thoughts they are
intended to convey. The mass of man
kind, toe, are protected against as
Economical alarms, not only by their
ignorance, but by two very steady be-
liefs. One, which is not quite reason
able, is that God, though He allows
railway collisions, will never allow
anything SO big as an astronomical
catastrophe-as if there could be
greatness or littleness in the eyes of
the Infinite-and the other, which is
reasonable enough, is that if an astro-
nomical catastrophe affected sentient
beings at all, it must destroy all Of
them within its range utterly and at
once.
