It will keep the skin irritated.

WIDOW W|LES
Ensnare Two Men and
Cause Their Deaths,

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 29.--When Mrs
Jane Segur Haas, of Cortez, Montezu-
ma county, Neb., marries. Henry
Haas, of Mt. Gilead, o., she will have
been married to each Of the three
brothers of the Haas family and show,
degree of pluck not often recalled
Both of Mrs. Haas first husbands
were killed by assassin's shots fror'
ambush and the third one will como
under the ban of the evil power whic',
Is held responsible for making her
twice a widow.
Thirty years ago William Haas was
q prosperous young merchant OF Mt
Gilead, O., when he decided to go west
and become rick quickly. He went
to Cortez and set up trading house
which soon promised to yield him the
wealth he coveted. The belle OF Cor
tez was Jane Segur, tall, black haired
black eyed, graceful as willow
fearless as the wild men around her
The cow punchers, gamblers and
plainsmen were at her feet. Two
brothers by the name of Siegel, among
the toughest of the rough men, of Cor
tez. were open suitors for her hand
and vowed to kill any man who mar
ried her.
COULDN'T BE SCARED.
To the amazement of the entire
country the belle fell in love with the
storekeeper. Then Siegel brothers
went to see Haas at his store and tell
him what would happen to him If he
married the girl they had sworn one
of them should wed. Haas listened
in patience for while, then shot one
of the Siegel brothers dead and that
afternoon married the girl Of his
choice.
One night Haas was shot through
the heart with a Winchester bullet as
he was returning from work. The
younger Siegel was suspected, but
never arrested.
When John Haas went to Cortez
from Mt. Gilead to settle up his
brothers business affairs he fell in
love with his brothers relict, still
young and beautiful, and married her.
Within six months he was shot from
ambush and killed. The murderer
was not apprehended and Henry
Haas, the third brother of the family
went to Cortez to console the twice
widowed woman and assist in selling
out her property to remove east.
IN TWO WEEKS.
While he was there the last of the
Haases fell victim to the widow of
his two brothers, and now they are
to be married within two weeks at
Mt. Gilead. Haas wanted to be mar
ried in Cortez, but Mrs. Haas would
take no more chances. She declares
that the danger will be quite enough
If the wedding takes place in Ohio,
but that she positively will not per-
init another husband to expose him
self to the dangers of this bloody feud
which has twice put her in weeds.
Haas says he is willing to take all
chances, and would like to live in Cor
tez till he gets a chance to take a shot
at his brothers murderers.

The train was ready to start. The
five persons did not care TO pay for the
excess baggage, neither did they like
to allow the body to go alone. The
whistle of the train footed its first

Just then the chief baggage master
arrived. He took in the situation at

The tradition in India is that the
man-eating tiger never gets over his
thirst for human blood. Men reform
from evil habits. break off from trades
and cut loose from associations and To-
calities, but never or rarely from jour
naliSm. Some have tried to account
for this well-known fact by recounting
the faScinations of the art preServa-
tive"
This may be the case in some de-
gree, but it cannot be all of it. When
one has engaged in the newspaper
business he acquires some partial
knowledge of all the ordinary pursuits
and avocationS, and this seems to I'M
fit him for centralizing his faculties
upon any of them. Consequently he
experiences a certain timidity as to
embarking upon mercantile or manu-
featuring pursuits.
Besides this they all seem to him
to be narrow and limited. There is a
boundleSS Wilderness in journalism
which gives the country newspaper
man the impression that he would not
like to be tied down to the groove in
which he sees even the biggest furni-
ture dealer OF the most active grocer
engaged.

British Navy Better Than Ever.

the mediocre men of to-day are better

In energy, thought, zeal, brain power.

the navy of the past is simply not to
be compared with the navy of to-day.

Navy is the one thing healthy yet
The whole aim and object of modern

THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER.
Dull Routine aud Poor Fare of His Daily

The newly -fledged Russian soldier.
when his corners have been knocked
off. is drafted into a regiment and pre-

soon be forced to undergo in camp
If he is in the cavalry he will have to
rise at in the morning to look to his
horse; if in the infantry he must be
out and about by 6 a m. cleaning and
mending his clothes as the first duty
of the day. Early morning inspection
is followed by a call TO prayers and
then the soldier, hungry enough by
now, eats his morning black bread and
rusks and drinks his tea. in prepare
tion for the real work of the day.
Every morning and every night the
Russian soldier is summoned to pray
ers. The services are as much IA part
of the everyday routine as breakfast
and supper. No other army observes
SO many religious ceremonies.
With drilling and riding, gymnas-
ties, fencing and shooting. according
to his regiment, the soldier works hard
until the time for dinner arrives. be-
tween II and II. Afterward. until 2
o'clock. he may sleep or rest. Two
hours drilling is followed by tea. Be
tween 6 and I the illiterates of the reg
iment study the arts of reading and
writing in large classes. for in every
regiment they form goodly company.
The teaching is undertaken by officers,
and considering the simplicity of their
pupils their duties are hardly enviable.
At Z o'clock comes supper: at 9 the
men are again summoned to prayers,
and afterward may seek their hard
and by no means luxurious beds.
The Russian soldiers diet is largely
vegetarian. Favorite dinner dishes
include 'Stche'-a cabbage soup-po-
tatoes peas, beans, macaroni and va
rious kinds of porridgeS. eaten with
onions and lard. Only half pound
of meat is allowed each man daily.
and the Russian pound is ten per cent.
less than il this country. Mushrooms
are consumed in great quantities when
in season. Three pounds of blac ok rye
bread are included in the daily rations.
