he deserted her and since then has
continued to live apart and separate
from her notwithstanding that she
never gave him any cause for doing
SO and that his desertion and aban-

MILLER's LONG RETIREMENT
"BIack Jack" Gets the Limit for
Petty Larceny.

.a. VSSSy 1atSSuys
From Fridays Daily Gazette.
Fourteen months is a long time to
serve in Jail for the larceny of arti-
cles the aggregate value of which does
not exceed $27, but to BLACK Jack"
Miller it means only a period of idle
mes without thought or care as to
meals and shelter, and he smiled
when the sentence against him was
pronounced. Miller was arraigned be-
fore Judge Fraser this afternoon on
the charge of having stolen a saddle
of the value of $40 and a pair of
blankets valued at Sc, belonging to
Robert Murray, and a tarpaulin, said
to be worth 81, from James Murray.
No sooner had the complaint been
read to him than he pleaded guilty and
laughed when the court expressed
surprise that he should have fallen
so low as to become a petty thief.
He and the court talked over old
times and when he was sentenced to
the p%enitentiary for horse stealing,
an experience of which the old fell
low seemed to be proud and corrected
the Judge when the latter said it had
been seven years, saying it was ten
years. He also said something about
having been in trouble on account of
having robbed the mail, an incident
that occurred prior to his conviction
as a horsethief.
Sheriff Hubbard and others who
know Miller we'll declare him to- not
be of sound mind and consider that
he rightfully belongs in the asylum.
In fact, he has been confined there,
having been adjudged insane at a
hearing in this county. He managed
to escape and come back, since which
he has been eking out an existence
in various ways. He said today that
lately he had been working for
"Piegan Jack" who resides a few
miles below the city.

SINCLAIR MAN OF PROMINENCE
AT HoME.
TELLS ABOUT HIM
Y. N. c. A. Secretary at Dayton, Ohio
and Well Known Religious
Worker.

~ was LOT the purpose OF preventing
the news from getting into the news
papers of the east and thereby caus-
ing undue alarm to his friends and
relatives that w. d. Chamberlin re-
fused to say anything concerning
David A. Sinclair, the man who was
taken from d Northern Pacific train
last Wednesday and placed in st.
Vincent's hospital. Mr.. Chamberlin
says that Mr.. Sinclair is widely
known throughout the central states
and because Of his position it was
feared that if given too great prom
inence the account of his illness
might be productive Of results sunde-
sirable, to say the least.
Mr.. Sinclair is the general secre-
tary of the Y. M. G. A. Of Dayton, O.,
and has been in failing health for
sometime. Thinking that a change
of climate ,as well as scene and ocs
cupation would prove beneficial, he
decided to join a party of friends on
a fishing trip into Idaho. In some
ways he appeared to be benefited,
but net improving as rapidly as he
had hoped he became anxious to re-
turn east to his family.
It was while en- route home in COM
pany with Mr.. Chamberlin, a mem
Der of the party, that he suddenly be-
came worse at Spokane. A physi-
clan was summoned, who assured him
that it was only indigestion and that
it would be safe for him % continue
on his journey. They left Spokane
on No. 2 last Tuesday. Instead Of
getting better MI. Sinclair grew
worse and when night came he had
become helpless. BY the following
morning he was worse, if anything,
and when the train arrived at Living
ston DR.. Cogswell of that place was
called and accompanied Mr.. Sinclair
as far as Columbus. Here the doc
tor left him and advised Mr.. Cham
berlin to take Mr.. Sinclair to the
hospital in this city. Upon the trains
arrival here MI. Sinclair was in a
comatose condition and remained SO
all day. During the night he regain
ed consciousness and has improved
steadily ever since. His physicians,
Drs. Armstrong and Baxter, are hope
full of his recovery.
Mrs. Sinclair has been notified Of
her husbands sickness and in COM
pany with Frank S. Gardner, assistant
secretary of the Dayton Y. M. C. A.,
is now OF the way to Billings.
Mr.. Sinclair is prominent in Y. M.
c. A. work. For the past SO years he
has been general secretary OF the as
ISOLATION, a length of service in one
place probably not exceeded by any
secretary in the country. Those who
know of his work say the Dayton as
ISOLATION has become a model and in
it's efficiency in helping men, young
and old, to a higher and better life
is second to nonea OF him it is said
that no man in Dayton has worked
more earnestly than he for the up.
building of his fellow men and be-
cause Of his philanthropy. and human
ity is held in universal esteem.
Among those who have felt the be-
nign influence ct his life is the Rev.
W. D. Clark, pastor of the Congre-
gational church of this city. Mr..
Clark spent mis- boyhood days at Day
ton and was a member of Mr.. Sim
clair's Sunday school class.

FOREST FIRES IN COLORADO.

Much Timber Destroyed and Flames
Are Beyond Control.
Denver, Aug. 21.-A special to the
Post from Walsenburg, Colo, says:
A forest fire of immense proper
tions is burning on the western slope
of the Greenhorn mountain range, 80
miles from Walsenburg, in the north
western corner of Huerfano county.
Much valuable timber has been de-

TEETH AND FOOD. A Help in Time of Need.

Sometimes bad teeth cause illness. par- ticularly when they are not fit to masti- cate food. A man in Ada. O., had all of his teeth drawn He was sick with ind- sestion and lack of vitality and his teeth were in a bad condition. He expected, with a new complete set of teeth. to re- gain his health by thoroughly chewing his food, but he had an experience that is well worth knowing of.
 / "Ii stead of improving I continued to lose strength" he says. until I was a mere moving skeleton. I tried a number of prepared foods but none of them help ed me until got Grape-Nuts The flavor pleased my palate at once. I soaked the food in cream and got along with it nice lv. Within few days I noticed that I was not SO tired and iaded Gradually I grew stronger. so left off all other foods and took only Grape-Nuts.
 My old-time vigor came back and in two months gained 1T pounds. This was remarkable for I am of spare build. Now I sleep and feel wonderfully we'll
 ''Inasmuch as I am doing so nicely without teeth have concluded to wait until my gums have finished shrinking before having a set made. I don't be- Yeve I could have gone through the drain on my system had 1t not been for Grape Nuts. There is no doubt about the life giving and nerve building fHrce of that food.

COAL IS VERY SCARCE.
While There is No Famine, Dealers
 Hardly Able to Meet Demand.

The report that there is coal famine In Montgomery is denied by some deal- CTS, while others claim that 1t Is very scarce.
 R. J. Chambers. Superintendent of the Montgomery Light and Power Company. when questioned as to the coal situation yesterday. said:
 We have suficisnt quantity of coal to supply all demands We have deliv- cred 100 tons a day for the past week and will continue to su---- the trade. Not wtthstanding the great demand. we are selling coal s1 2 ton cheaper than either Atlanta or Mobile''
 Another large dealer said that there was a great scarcity, and that there was almost a famine He said he had enough to last until Monday night. but unless shipment reached him from the mines he would not be able to fili orders Tues day. He also stated that several smaller dealers had been to his office to purchase coal. saving they were entirely out and could not get any.

The onion is undoubtedly e wholesome article of food, in fact, has many niedi- cinal qualities of value. but it would be difficult to find more indigestible ar- ticle than fried onions, and to many people they are simply poison, but the onion does not stand alone in this re- spect. Any article of food that is not thoroughly digested becomes a source of disease and discomfort whether 1t be friend onions or beef steak.
 The reason why any wholesome food is not promptly digested is because the stomach lacks some important element of digestion, some stomachs lack peptone others are deficient in gastric juice, still others lack hydrochloric acid.
 The one thing necessary to do in any case of poor digestion is to supply these clements of digestion which the stomach lacks, and nothing does this so thorough ly and safely as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's.
 Dr. Richardson in writing e thesis on treatment of dyspepsia and Indigestion. closes his remarks by saying, flor those suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by sour, watery risings, or for fatulent dyspepsia, shown by gas on stomach. causing heart trouble and difficult breath ing, as we'll as for all other forms of stomach trouble, the safest treatment is to take one or two or Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. I advise them because they contain no harmful drugs. but are composed of valuable digestives, which act promptly upon the food eaten never knew case of indigestion or even chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's Tablets would not reach"
 Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to cure dyspepsia and indigestion can have no effect whatever In actively digesting the food. and to call any cathartic medi- cine cure for indigestion is e misnomer.
 Every druggist in the United States and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and they are not only the safest and most successful but the mos, scientific of any treatment for indigestion and stomach troubles. wed-fri-suu

 Chief Gerald aaid that no provision was made by the city for foundlings and he could make no other disposition of the baby.
 "It is not the first baby found in Mont- gomery by any means" said Chief Ger aid, "and we have never found any trou- ble in disposing of them to proper per sons. It is quite likely that this child will be adopted by desirable white per sons within the sext few days"
 The police department is making a quiet investigation of the case. It was learned that shortly before the baby was found on the door sill of the negro hut. a young white woman, apparently from the coun- try, applied to Sadie Duncan for admis- sion to her house which adjoins the ne- gro huts. She was refused admission to this house and was referred to a house of the same character kept by Kate Downs on Commerce Street. Kate Downs Said she also declined to receive the young woman into her house and she disappeared.
 Working on this clue the police depart ment may locate the mother of the in- fant. :

T. H. PRICE. TALKS.
Says the Price of Cotton is Bound
 To Advance.


 New York. Feb. lS.-(Special. .)-Mr. The odore H. Price. the we'll known cotton expert. in an interview today said:
 The cotton market continues to ad- vance and there Is every indication of very much higher prices in the immedi- ate future. It is becoming generally rec ognized that the supply is inadequate to the worlds consumption at present prices Heavy receipts and bear manipulation here and in Liverpool fail to have any effect. The threats of those who, earlier world as to the size of the crop and to depress prices are futile. They promise like all efforts to subvert the truth. to react upon their authors. Cotton having been unduly depressed will now probably go to the other extreme.
 MT Borden is reported to he bidding , 1-4 cents for all the print cloths that can be delivered in Fan River up to July. Trade here and abroad is in a con- lition of unexanpled prosperity. It needs the cotton and will have to pay for it.

"One evening I was walking along the street. 1t was about dusk and q storm was gathering. Just in front of me was young girl She walked rapidly in the same direction. apparently hastening to escape the storm l was struck with the symmetry of her figure and the grace of her carriage. After we had moved on a block or two. the storm burst and the rain fell in torrents. She was with out protection. I hastened forward and offered to shield her with my umbrella
 She accepted pleasantly, and we walked along together. I learned that she was young girl from N. P, that she was an orphan, and was clerking in one of the dry goods stores. Her name she said was Mamie CarreIl She was not beautiful. but she was plump, fresh and tractive. At last we reached her board ing house. She thanked me with a pleas ant smile. saw no more of her for several days. but when I met her casu- ally on the street, she spoke to me so agreeably that l made it convenient to walk a few blocks with her. I do not know how. but I found myself very much attracted by the sweetness and amiability of this simple girl The next day l passed by the store at just the hour I knew she would be discharged for the evening. and walked home with her again. It would be a tedious story to tell. Suffice 1t to say that before very long she came to love me with blind de- votion rented, for her pretty little cottage. and filled 1t up handsomely
