Gust VanHover was brought before
Judge Smith at Mitchell on a charge
of extortion Of money. He pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to three
years in the penltentiary. Two
months ago he and his wife delivered
a letter in person and signed by him
to a prominent business man, which
demanded that they be paid 1000 at
once or they would m crimi-
nal proceedings against this man and
about a dozen others. VanHover in
his letter said there was a secret So
ciety organized here which had for
it's purpose his destruction, and that
it was in league with his wife to ac-
complish this end. He was arrested
for insanity, but at the hearing was
discharged. He was then placed I'M
der arrest on the charge of blackmail.
There was not the least foundation
for his charge against the men, all
of whom occupy prominent places in
the business circles of the city.

THE USE OF MYRRH.
How to Cure Colds and Other AL
ments with 1t.

How to Cure Colds and Other ALL
ments with Ii.
The catarrhal conditions which come
with fall winds and are the unkindest
foes to good looks can be warded off
by two precautionary keeping thor
Oughly warm and the use of antiseptic
perfumes. The care of the nose and
throat is not merely a devOir to clean
illness; it prevents Il hundred forms of
nervous ailments, says the Pittsburg
Press. Two or three times daily the
nose should be washed out with warm
water and clean soap on thin hand
kerchief and rinsed with diluted Law
ender water applied either by spray or
on fine linen. This with a gargle of
myrrh prevents all the mischief to the
mucous membrane which appears in
cold sores, snifflings and snufiiings
which make ones society avoided.
A touch of dilute myrrh tincture on
a cold sore will make short work of it,
and three drops OF tincture of myrrh
in three half pints of water applied by
putting the wet handkerchief over the
eyes, will improve the sight and take
away the blur and teary expression
which gives such an aged look to the
eyes.
If the glance Is brilliant, clear and
steady, one will always leave the i'm
press Of youth. Steaming the eyes
with a very little myrrh in the hot wa
ter is beneficial and Strengthening to
the sight But the uses of myrrh DO
not end here. Thin sachets of it,
quilted into silk and worn over the
stomach and abdomen, are wonderful
prophylactics against intermittent fe-
vers and alterations. Myrrh thorough
ly used hardens the flesh and prevents
the accumulation of fiabby adipose. A
teaspoonful of myrrh in powder, quilt
ed between the old rose or heliOtrOpe
flannel lining of a silk underSkirt, in a
measure prevents the accumulation of
flesh about the waist. 1t simply en-
balms the tissues of living as well as
dead, and half teaspoOnful in the
dress shields under the arms will less
en- perspiratiOn.
Washing moist palms with a little
tincture in hot water keeps them in
better order, and little myrrh rubbed
up in cold cream is perhaps the best
preparation to be rubbed between the
toes and over the nails to keep them
fresh in all senses.

How to STUFF Dates.

If the fruit is bought in warm wealth
er, it may be wise to examine it with
special care, to see that it is free from
near the seed. Remove this pit and fill
the aperture with finely chopped hick-
DRY nuts. Then roll in graduated sug-
ar. The chopped nuts make the dates
much more palatable than the whole
meats that are generally used, and
hickory nuts are a decided improve
ment upon English walnuts, which are
too often a favorite with confectioners
for this purpose.

How to Make Lemon Catchup

This may be made at any time of
year and is an epicurean sauce which is
especially good with cold meats in hot
weather. Select smooth skinned lem
ons and cut them into slices. To half
dozen lemons allow three ounces of
salt. Remove seeds from lemons and
rub the salt into the slices. Mix fol-
lowing seasOnings and spices together:
One ounce each of cloves, mace and
cayenne, two ounces each of mustard
seed, allspice, white pepper and fresh
horseradish. Put the slices of lemon
in stone jar in layers with mixed
spices in between. Pour over them
two quarts Of white wine vinegar heat
ed to boiling point. Let stand for

The revolver became the joke of the
ship. Crane kept up steady soak
and was naturally inclined to be argu-
mentative. Any one of the ships com
pany who happened to be near him
would get up a discussion on any mat
ter that came to his mind, work things
gently to a climax and then contradict
Crane fatty, upon which out would
come the revolver and down would go

begging for pardon and life, to the vast
amusement of the OnloOkers. F'riv0l-
ity Of this sort in no way suited the
appetite of Captain Owen Kettle He
talked with Crane with a certain dry
cordially, and at times he contradicted
him. In fact, the little sailor was a
man with strong opinions, and he re-
garded tolerance as mere Weakness

Kettle formed a liking at once, though
for the first days Of the voyage it was
little enough he saw of his actual pres
ence until the Flamingo began to make
her sOuthing and the willow tangles OF
weed floating in emerald waves bore
evidence that they were steaming
against the warm current of the gulf
stream. Then Hamilton came into
view. He found a spot on the top of
the fiddle where n chair could stand
and sat there in the glow of sun and
| boilers and basked complacently. He
was shy, nervous little man, and,
though Kettle had usually fine CON
tempt for all weakness, somehow his
heart went out to this retiring passen.

If you want to know how to tell
oleomarEarine from butter, try this
test: Take a little bit of the doubtful
article and rub upon a piece of glass.
Then look through it toward the light.
If the smudge forms a smooth blur,
the article is butter; if light. with
bright specks and spots through it, it
is Oleomargarine. Pure lard can be
distinguished from the compound in
the same way. The lard will make a

if you speak out like that you'll prob
ably scare the beggar off his game al

"And why not? Do you think my

to be run just for your amusementY
Lupton tapped the table slowly with
his fingers. Nov, look here, captain"
he said there's a chance here of our
putting stop to a murderous game
that's been going on too long by catch
ing a rogue red handed. It's to our in
terest to get a conviction and make
an example It's to your interest to
keep your ship free from a fuss"
"All the way"
"Quite so. My company's prepared
to buy your interest up"
"You must put it palmer than that"
'Ill give you f2O to keep your eye on
these men, and say nothing about what
I've told you, but just watch. If you
catch Cranze"-s
I'm not going to let him murder the
other fellow before my eyes. What do
you take me for?

catch him so clearly trying it on that

pany will pay you 1900"

"NIy company will find it a lot cheap
err than paying out 100000, and that's
what UamiIton's insured for"
"Phew! I didn't know we were deal
ing with such big figures"
Il told you that from the first. Now,
captain, are you going to take my
check for that preliminary go"
"Hand it over" said Kettle. 81 see
no objections, and you may as well
give me a bit of a letter about the bal
ance."
"I'll do both" said Lupton.
Now, Captain Owen Kettle once he
had taken up this piece Of employment,
entered into it with a kind of chastened
joy. The life insurance company's
agent had rather sneered at ship cap
tains as a class. Kettle intended to
prove himself the complete detective
out of sheer esprit de corps.
Hamilton and Crane remained the
FlamingO's only two passengers, and so
he considered he might devote full at
tentiOn to them without being remark
able If he had been a steward max
ing sure Of his tips, he could not have
been more solictOus for their welfare.
Crane came on board with a dozen
cases of champagne and four of liquor
brandy as part of his personal luggage,
and his first question to every official
he came across was how much he
would have to pay for corkage. He
seemed to take a delight in adyertis-
ing his chronic drunkenness, and be-
tween whites he made silly show of
the fact that he carried a loaded re-
volyer in his hip pocket.
Now, Captain Kettle in his inmOst
heart considered that the man was
nerving himself up with drink to the
commlttal of his horrid deed, and so
he took very natural precaution. Be
fore they had dropped the Irish coast
he had managed to borrow the revolver

Under the awnings.
| 1t was off one of the ports of Yucca
tan, toward the bay of Campeachy,
! that Crane chose to fail overheard.
| The name Of the place was announced
! by some one WI y they brought up,
and Crane askc4 where it was. Ket-
tie marked it OF with a leg of the di-
viders on the chart. "Yucatan," said
Cranze-"that's the ruined cities shop,
| isn't it? Gum, there's a ruined city, all
hot and waiting! Skipper, l shall go
ashore and enlarge my mind"
''You can go if you like said Ket-
| tie, but remember l steam away from

not to get upset in the surf. The wa

IF you go ashore" said Hamilton,
you'll be marooned as safe as houses.
The place reeks of fever, and as your
present state of health is distinctly
rocky you'll catch it. Look here, don't
be an ass"
Hamilton looked at Captain Kettle
under his brOWs. Twill you advise
me-" he said, what I ought to do?
q should say it would be healthier
for you to let him have his own way"
Thanks" said Hamilton and turned
away. III act on that advice"
Now, the few next movements of Mr..
Crane are wrapped in a certain de-
gree of mystery. He worried a very
busy third mate and got tripped on the
hard deck for his pains; he was elected
forcibly from the engineers messrOOm,
where it was supposed he had designs
on the whisky, and he was rescued by
the carpenter from an irate half breed
Mosquito Indian, who seemed to have
reasons for desiring his blood there
and then on the spot, but as to how he
got over the side and into the water
there is no evidence to show. There
were theories that he had been put
there as a just act of retribution.
There was an idea that he was trying
to get into a lighter which lay along
side for a cast ashore, but saw two
lighters and got into the one which
didn't exist, but he was there in the
water. There was an ugly sea run
ming, and he couldn't swim.
A couple of life buoys, one after the
other, hit him accurately on the head,
and the lighter cast off and backed
down to try to pick him up. Mean
while there was great industry among
the black triangular dorsal fins that
advertised the movements of the
sharks which owned them underneath
the surface. All hands crowded to the
rail and shivered and felt sick at the
thought of seeing him gobbled up.
Then out of the middle of these spec
tators jumped Hamilton and lit on
nice sleek wave crest feet first in an
explosion of spray. Away scurried the
converging sharks fins, and down shot
Hamilton out of sight.
What followed came quickly. Ket-
tie with a tremendous flying leap land
ed somehow on the deck of the lighter
with bones unbroken. He cast bow
line on to the end of the main sheet
and, watching his chance, hove the
blight cleverly into Hamiltcn's grasp.
AS Hamilton had come up with Crane
frenziedly clutching him round the
neck, Kettle was able to draw his
catch toward the lighters side without
further delay.

In the forenoon the graves of the soldiers were strewn with flowers, and on the surface of Sangamon river flowers were cast in honor of the dead naval veterans.
