Took Her Child From the Eagle.

On mountain between Victor and
Rose Mine, about so miles north of
San Bernardino, Cal, Mrs. Golding,
the wife of stagekeeper of Box S, a
stage station, one day last week was
sitting outside the house beside the
cradle in which lay her six-months'-
old infant. Suddenly dark shadow
swooped down and Mrs. Golding saw
a huge eagle rise into the air holding
her infant in its talons. The mother
rushed to where mule was tethered,
and pulling up the stakepin, jumped
on the animals back and was soon fol-
lowing after the huge bird, which
found flight difficult with its heavy
burden. The chase was continued
for several miles, the eagle resting at
intervals. When it alighted on its
nest, high up in the mountains, Mrs.
Golding climbed above where she had
seen the eagle alight, tied one end of
the stake-rope about tree trunk and
let herself over the cliff. She landed
on a ledge and fought the angry bird
and succeeded in killing it. Before
she could escape TO the ground the
eagles mate appeared and the mother
had another encounter, but drove the
bird away. Mrs. Goldjng reached
home late at night il pitiable con-
dition. The infant escaped injury.

Hundred Year Clubs

Are becoming numerous. The idea is to
promote longevity. 1t is interesting to
note, that the means through which long
life is to be obtained, is food and the stom-
ach. Long life and good health are not
possible unless the stomach does its work
properly. There is way to make it, if
1t does not Hostetter's Stomach BitterS
is an ideal strength restorer. If you
would be cured of dyspepsia, indi geStion,
belching, constipation, insomnia, ner-
vousness. biliousness, try the Btters.
Everybody should try it to help nature
rid the blood of all Impurities. 1t pos
seSses valuable curative properties, and
as specific for malaria fever and ague,
it is unequalled. Don't fail to give it a
trial, but be sure you get the genuine.

Douglass Beegle, Of Duncansville Pa,
has twice within a week narrowly es-
capped being buried alive. Ten days
ago he was suddenly stricken with a
strange malady which induced coma,
In about week it seemed that death
had come, and preparations were un-
der way for the funeral, when it was
noticed that Beegle was breathing
family. Restoratives were applied,
but the following day the patient
again seemed to have died. After a
long wait it was decided life was ex-
tinct, but the touch of the undertaken
seemed to arouse the sleeper, whose
eyelids began to culver. Since then
Beegle has lain in a deep trance, &C.
casionally signing family, but never
opening his eyes. In the 10 days he
has taken no nourishment. Physi-
clans are greatly puzzled.

The contract for the erection of the

All the car builders in the Chesa-

The Ellis Glenn jury disagreed and
was discharged Tuesday afternoon at
Parkersburg. 1t stood seven for con-
viction and FIVE for acquittal, though
on one ballot eight voted for convic-
ton. Two things prevented con-
viction. One was that owing to con-
ficting testimony part Of the jury did
not think the identity of the prisoner
had been proved "beyonds reasonable
doubt" and the other was that part OF
the jury thought the forgery had not
been positively proved. Ellis Glenn
was released under her old bond, but
will be required to give new one on
Thursday. 1t has been reported that
in the event of disagreement the case
would be abandoned by the State, but
such is not the case. Another trial
will be had. although not at this term
of court. In the meantime the iden-
tity of Ellis Glenn as well as her guilt
or innocence is still a mystery.

from Kansas City, where all arrange

enter upon the ownership of $4,000
in cash and SAC, 900 worth of property
left to him by his father whom he
never saw. Adams is "a year old and
was born three months after his
father, Richard Adams who married
Mary Keller, had deserted his wife
The mother died in year and the
child had a hard life. The father
got into the livery and horse-trading
business in the West and accumulated
a fortune. He died year ago, will
ing all he had to his son. The ex-
ecutor of the will searched for months
for the son, and at last found him by
discovering his name on the roster Of
the First West Virginia Regiment in
the Spanish War.
