lists.
Panama, Colombia, March s.-For
the last two days it has been persist
emily rumored here that the govern
ment forces have sustained a severe
defeat. 1t is said that when the Co
lombian gunboat Boyaca landed rein
foCcements at Chiriqu, the civil and
military chief of the province, r. Las
ira, prepared to attack the revolution
lists at San Pablo about FIVE miles
from David. and sent Col. Luque for
ward with 200 recruits. The latter. not
knowing the country well, are said to
have been surprised by 500 of the enc
my, between two entertainments, from
which position the reYOlutionists we're
able to shoot down the government sol
diers. Many of the latter are under
stood to have been made prisoners. 1t
is hoped in government circles that
David was not captured by the revolC-
tionists, as the town was strongly en-
trenched. Lastra may be able to hold
out until reinforcements sent by Castro
reach him.
The British steamed Taboga, due here
March 10 from Pegral will probably
bring more details of the engagement.

WIFE'S INGENUITY
Saves Her Husband.

The author of the "Degenera ton of
Dorothy" Mr.. Franklin Kinsella, 226
w. 25th street. New York city, was the
victim of a little by-play- but he
can best tell the story himself. Il
must confess that 1 have been the vic
tim of an innocent deception which
turned out all for the best, however.
1 had been resting under the belief,
for some years, that coffee served as a
lubricant to my cerebral convolutions,
in other words, made the wheels go
round, and / had an idea that / could
not work without it as a stimulant.
l soon paid the penalty in nervous
ness, loss of flesh, insomnia and rest
lessness, none of which troubles would
yield to any or all medicines. | finally
got in rather a bad way and my wife
took hand in the affair all unknown
to me- She purchased a package of
Postum Coffee and first gave me one
half Postum and one half coffee. In a
little time she had me down to .zelear
Postum, and / was none the wiser.
l noticed that ! was getting better
my nerves were steadier, and I began
to gain flesh and sleep nights MY
my old condition.
Commenting upon my greatly inn
proved health one morning l was told
the truth. 'Tis to laugh so 1 submit
ted gracefully and joined the Postum
ranks.
Experience teaches that boiling is
one-half the game. When the direc-
tons are carried out the result will be
as fine a cup of rich, fragrant coffee as
ever delighted the senses without ruin
ing the nerves."

Spring Time the Best Sea
SON of the Year to Treat
Chronic Catarrh.

Notwithstanding that great num-
Der of people have been cured of
chronic catarrh by taking Peruna dur
ing the past cold season, yet it cannot
be denied that the cold, wet, stormy
weather has retarded many cures, and,
in some cases, actually prevented
cure.
But springtime has come at last, and
now is the time for all catarrh suffer-
ers to begin a systematic course of
treatment for this disease. The great
est difficulty in the way of treating
chronic catarrh is that the patient is
so liable to catch cold during the treat
ment and thus delay a cure.
This liability at this season of the
year is, in a great measure, removed,
and no one should neglect the oppor-
tunity to take treatment.
Peruna is acknowledged by every
one to be the only reliable and unfail-
ing cure of catarrh wherever it may
be located When you take Peruna
you are not experimenting with an
unknown remedy.
Men and women of national reputa-
ton as we'll as. thousands in the humb

does it,
1.-THE fellow who had the terrapin
farm went up in the air like sky
rocket. He was rich. He began to
ga ther terrapins He hired men to
help him round them up. He made
a big shipment to New Orleans, car
load, or something like that. He came
over and found the gentleman who
was buying terrapins. Take all you
got at 81 apiece if they are diamond
backs said the terrapin dealer in an
abrupt. business-like way. But can't
look at 'em now he added. In a hur-
ry. Got to cross the lake on business
But the fellow wanted to get rid of
his terrapins, and he called for a car
riage, persuaded the dealer to crawl
in, after convincing him that he could
reach his train all right, and they
drove on dead run to the place
where the terrapins had been unload
ed
THE terrapin dealer turned several
of them over, glanced at them scruti-
niZingly and began to smile in an I'M
certain sort of way. Fine terrapins,
eh?' said the out-oftown man. Got
a million more just like EN- and he
said 1t boaStingly, for he felt that he
was the heaviest thing on the Terra
pin Exchange, and could bull or bear
the market, just as he pleased Well,
my friend said the terrapin dealer,
you say you have a million more like
these. If you have 1 want to suggest
that you do something to stop the
breed, for l wouldn't give you so cents
for enough of these things to convert
the Atlantic Ocean into terrapin SOUP
The fellow was shocked and dis
gusted. His lot of terrapins were of
the piny woods variety. So you can't
always tell about these terrapin farms.
There is money in terrapins of the
right kind. But there are terrapins
and terrapins, and men who have
made a study of the business have
learned it to their sorroW.'

Detectives Appear to Have Exhaust
ed All Their Clues.
Grand Rapids, Mich, March s.-The
mystery surrounding the killing of
Mrs. Ada Klump of Lowell by the
poisonous headache powder last Sun
day is still unsolved. William Klump,
the husband, who had been suspected
of being the principal or at least an
accompiice in the tragedy, is still con-
fined in the county Jail.
One thread of what the officers
thought to be a possible clew, seems
to have been broken by the receipt
this afternoon from Chicago of tele-
gram reading as follows:
Chicago, since September, Miss
Whitfield, 1884 Lexington street"
There were reports from Lowell res
idents that Miss Whitfield had been
seen in Lowell within the past few
days. 1t is on this theory of a "wo-
man in the case" that the officers are
working.
When closely questioned by the
sheriff to-day, Klump broke down.
II think there must be a woman in
the case he said, land if l could

Minister LimantOur Believed to BE
the Man Who VIII Next Rule in
Mexico.
City of Mexico, March s.-Recent tel
egrams from points on the American
frontier to journals of weight and
prominence in the United States, deal
with the important matter of the sue
cession to the presidency of this re-
public, in case of the retirement of
President Diaz, or at the expiration
of his present constitutional period and
it has been stated that in such case
he would be succeeded by the present
minister of war, Gen. Bernardo Reyes.
1t is known, on unimpeachable au
thority. that Gen. Reyes in case of
the presidential succession being open
for the causes named, would give his
cordial support to the candidacy of
the minister of finance, Jose Imam
tour, statesman of demonstrated
aptitude for the highest position in
the government and a strong and able
man.
1t is believed that Minister Imam
tour, supported by Gen. Reyes and
other leading personages here, will
meet the need of Mexico, which is
peace with progress, and once occu-
plying the presidency he would base
all his acts on the firm foundation
held by President DiaZ.

WILL NOT WEAR BUTTONS.
Peculiar Customs of Members of the
Amish Church.

Peculiar Customs of Members of the
Amish Church.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
A peculiar sect of people whose Gus
toms resemble the German Mennon-
ties and the Drunkards are settled
throughout this section, and their his
tory is a very interesting one, viewed
by the average American. Their col
onies are scattered all over Central
and Northern Iowa, and are locally
known as the "hook and eye" Dutch,
on account of the aversion they have
to wearing any kind of buttons on
their clothing. Their church is called
the AmiSh, and they consider it unholy
and worldly to wear any kind of but
tons on their clothing. Coat, vest and
trousers are kept in place by the ordi-
nary hook and eye. The children grow
up and are taught to do as do their
elders, and for generations this pc
culiar custom has been kept by them
The government of the elders is
unquestioned, and as implicitly obeyed
as would be the commands of any
army officer. Their marriages are ar
ranged to "even up financial matters
to some extent. Too much land or too
much money is not allowed to marry
into one family, and thus give one fam
lily the ascendency over another in the
colony.
Among the most peculiar rites of
these people is the ceremony of foot
washing" which takes place as it did
in the olden times. This ceremony
usually takes place at the annual love
feast, which is generally held in one
of the big red farm barns At these
gathering each member greets the
other with a kiss, each sex combining
its oscillations to itself. The foot
washing is also confined to the sexes,
one of a group. of men or women
washing and drying the feet of his
or her neighbor in turn. When the
rite is over all rise and again kiss.
Then follow communion and preach
ing. These sermons are delivered by
plowmen selected for this task by the
year, and they are caliged to give
much attention and study to the task

Terrapins Differ.

Il was reading a story recently
about the development of the terrapin
industry in louisiana" said an old
resident, according to the New Orleans
Times Democrat, land it reminded me
of a funny experience a friend of mine
had a few years ago when he was in
business. He made a study of the ter
rapin, knew all about it, kept up with
the commercial side of the question,
and, in fact, was an all-round expert.
One day a couple of men met over
here close to a marshy place near the
piny woods and one OF them said
something about the millions of ter
rapins ne had noticed on his place.
Why, you have a fortune in your
hands, said the other man, for all
you have to do is to gather these
things UP end ship them to New Or
leans. There is a fellow over there
who is simply crazy about terrapins,
