Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
IN January, 1899, saying her daughter
had suffered for two years with irreg-
ular menstruation had headache all
the time, and pain in her side, feet
swelled, and was generally miserable.
She received an answer promptly with
advice, and under date of March, 1899,
the mother writes again that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured
her daughter Of all pains and irregu-
larity.
Nothing in the world equals Lydia E.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles.

When the coach had rumbled out of
sight on the way down the mountain
side Black Bart turned his attention
to splitting open the wooden box con-
tanning the Wells Fargo Express Com
pany's treasure. Something must have
disturbed the highwayman while he
was gathering up the money from the
treasure box, for when the stage coach
passengers had armed themselves at
the next station and hurried back to
the scene, later in the day, they found
among the debris of papers, empty
purses and wrappings Of parcels a
linen cuff. The robber evidently had
dropped it in a hurried fight to his
refuge.
The cuff was turned over to the eX-
press company detectives. They found,
after weeks of inquiry, that the indelf-
BILE laundry marks We're those of a
Chinese laundry on Bush street, in
San Francisco. When the detective
had learned from the Chinese laundry
man that the marks on the cuff indi-
Gated that it belonged to one Charles
Z. Bolton, a regular patron of the
laundry, they set about to hunt up
Mr. Bolton 1t came out that Charles
e. Bolton, who owned the cuff, was a
quiet, unobtrusive, spare man Of about
so years. He lived in modest and
quiet boarding house, where sedate.
old fashioned business men had rooms,
and every one there was his friend.
When a detective went to live in the
same boarding house he found that
Mr.. Bolton was a studiOus man, lived
correct life. was a reader of new
books, dabbied in poetry, and every
few weeks went away to visit one Of
the several little mines about Califor-
mia in which he had investments. Boil
ton was an expert whist player, and
evidently he had travelled far and wide
in his early life. His hobby was water
colors, and he spent whole days in
painting bucolic scenes alone in his
rooms. Then when he had dined in
style along with the other bachelors in
the boarding house he went alone to
the theater, where he took the least
conspicuous seat. He never got mail
and never sent letters, but he devoured
the daily newspapers at times. Never
theleSs it did not take the detective
long to connect this quiet, polished gen.
tleman with the most dreaded outlaw
IN California.
For II years he had kept half the
sheriffs and constableS, lot Of detec-
tives, and all the United States mar
shals in California ceaselessly watch
full for a fresh deed by Black Bart.
He had many a time walked down to
a local bank carrying snug fortune
In his gripsack-the proceeds of re-
cent affair out on the rOad'-past
hundreds of San Francisco people,
while they were eXcitedly discussing
Black Bart's latest hold-up.
The outlaw was convicted and be-
cause of his confession and apparent
determination to lead a new life he was
sentenced to San Quentin prison for
only eight years. He was a model pris-
oner, and he earned all the commuta-
tions Of his sentence for good conduct.
He was libreated in July. 1890. For a
few days he lived in Sacramento, wait
ing, he said, until he got some money
from Eastern relatives, when he meant
to so to Seattle and earn an honest liv-
ing. Then the man disappeared.

DUST EXPLOSION AT
THE BON AIR MINES
Many Miners Have Narrow
Escapes From Death.
FIVE WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED

Explosion Was Causes by Shots Fired
By Miners to Knock Down Coal For
the Days Run-Lst of Those Most
Seriously Injured.

scene Of the dust explosion at Bon Air
mines says:
About 100 men are employed in this
mine. When the explosion occurred
all were in the main entry, which
made their rescue possible. Medical
attendants say that none of the inju.
ries are necessarily fatal, though five
are very serious. The explosion was
caused by the shots fired by the miners
to knock down the coal for today
run. If the men had heen in the drive
ways and inner entries when the ex-
plOsion occurred many lives would
have been lost either by the concus-
sion direct or by their being cut off
from escape.
The damage done to the mine is not
extensive.
Among those most seriously injured
are: William Barnes, burns about face
and hands; Roscoe Anthony, face bad
ly burned Herbert Glover, face, hands
and body burned; Ezra Cole, neck and
face burned, and Hiram Naiburg, a
