It is singular thing that in Il popular view of disease the interd pendence of the several organs of Il body is lost sight of. The heart t example, is diseased and it is treated [. If it were entirely separated from, an independent of, every other organ.
 The fallacy of this opinion is showi by the cures of heart rtrouhle,' live , ~trouble,. kidney vtrouble l" ana, othe, so-called vtroubles," effected by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- cry. Primarily the Discovery" is a medicine for the cure of diseases of the stomach and blood. But it cures dis eases of organs seemingly remote from the stomach, because these diseases have their origin in diseased condition of the stomach and its associated organs of digestion and nutrition.

We this week give the report Of
Gen. Price to Gov. Jackson, made
shortly following that memorable con-
hict. The report is dated January

fetal Report Of the Battle Of Lexing-

The report is appended;
To the Hon. Claiborne F. Jackson,
Governor Of the State Of Missouri:
have the honor to submit to your
exceIlency the following report of the
actions which terminated on the goth

forces and property at Lexington to
the army under my command
After chasing the armies of Lane
and Montgomery and driving them
out of the state, and after compelling
them to abandon Fort Scott, as de-
tailed in my last report, | continued
my march toward this point with an
army increasing hourly in numbers
and enthusiasm.
On the 10th inst, as we were about
to encamp for the day, a mile or two
west Of Rose Hill, | learned that a

in accordance with Gen Fremont's
proclamation and instructions AL
though my men were greatly fatigued
by several days continuous and rapid
marching, determined to press for
ward so as to surprise the enemy if
possible at Warrensburg. Therefore,
after resting a few hours, we r sumed
the march at sunset and marched
without intermission until two O'Clock
in the morning; when it became evil
dent that the infantry, very few OF
whom had eaten a mouthful in twen-
ty-tWo hours, could march no farther.
then halted them and went forward
with the larger part Of my mounted
men until we came, about day-break,
within view of Warrensbarg, where
ascertained that the enemy had has

bridges behind them. The rain be

ON THE LIFE TO COME
Minot J. Savage Delivers q Brief
Lecture on the Here
after

New York. March U.-Dr. Minot J.
Savage, speaking in the Church of the
Messiah on The Abolition of Death, %
is quoted as having said:
IF we propose to be quite honest
and frank with ourselves we must ad-
nit one fact-tha there never. since
the dawn Of Christianity. were so many
people doubling concerning the future
life IS there are now; not ignorant nor
bad people, but the best there are. or
as good as there are, they are readers.
thinkers, persons acquainted with phil
oSophy and science and who have
studied history, looked into ecclesiasti-
cal traditions. This is the attitude of
thousands and the number if growing.
IF a person asks me whether I
think there is satisfactory evidence
that the body of Jesus was raised from
the cad I must be frank and say I
90 not No case in a modern court
could oe carried through successfully
unless there were in its favor better
evidence than we have for the resur-
reCtion Of Jesus. There is no first hand
testimony of anybody to that fact, and
we know perfectly we'll that if we had
the testimony of 100 OF 1000 to a sim
liar fact as taking place today it would
weigh with us very little.
But I believe with my whole soul
that Jesus was seen alive after the
CruCihXion and out OF that belief might
very easily arise the belief chat the
body had risen. I do not believe there
is anything in Che fact Of death that
changes US more than going to sleep
last night and waking up this morning.
7 believe death another kind of
birth; that We graduate from this life,
take tho next step in an ever-advanc-
ing career of progress. and that we are
just ourselves over there"

COLLINS MET STRANGER.
Had Engagement to Keep Imme-

Had Engagement to Keep Imme-
diately Before Disappearance.
It was not more than four horus he
! lore he was last seen on Ensign peak
{ that Collins met a stranger. who is be
/ heved TO have figured in the mystery.
at the Rio Grande depot, and made an
engagement to meet him later at the
| WaSatka bOttling works. The story of
the meeting and the arrangement for
the second meeting was related by Col
lns few minutes after it occurred to
/ Mrs Charles H. Woodward of g68 West
Fourth South street, to whose home
ne was going when the meeting took
place.
The story told by Mrs. Woodward is
mat Collins, who had been a friend Of
the family for years, came to her house
about O'Clock Monday afternoon and
/ stated that he had intended to remain
IOr supper, but while on the way had
been met at the depot by a stranger
who wanted to meet him at the bOttling
works at 3 O'Clock.
HE told me that the man said he
wanted to purchase a case of mineral
water, said Mrs, Woodward "aDd that
he would have to catch the next Jordan
bridge car in order to get back in time
to meet the man. HA remained at nv
/ house about twenty minutes and
started for the car. Before he left he
promised to take dinner with me yes
terday and left my husbands bank
book, which he had had arranging
some business affairs for him. After
he left I did not see or hear anything
more of him until I saw the account
Of his death in the papers"
VINO this man was that made the en-
gagement no one knows, and whether
or not he kept the engagement is equal
ly mysterious. The stranger evidently
knew Collins. but from the latter's con-
versatiQn it is thought that he did not
know the man The question that is
agitating the persons who know of this
incident is, Who was the strange man.
and did he have anything to do with
the dis7p0earance and Gcsth of Col
lins?' This incident. IN the light Of
other circumstances surrounding the
case. is regarded as suspicious.
A little after 3 o'clock that afternoon
an old miner who was passing by the
/ Wasatka building saw two men, he
/ claims, hanging about the building and
/ acting in a suspicious manner. He ap-
preached them. he said and when he
did so they eyed him rather closely and
walked away in the direction Of the
/ foothills.
He did not see the men any more
and thought nothing Of the occurrence
until the dead body Of Collins was
/ taken from the cave. He readily recoI-
lected the affair then, but was unable
yesterday to give any description Of
the men he saw. Whether the man
who met Collins at the depot was one
Of these two is a matter of conjecture.
! The fact remains, however, that Col
/ Inns disappeared over the mountains
/ shortly after these men were seen near
| his place and nothing has been seen Of
I them since

/ Another fact that seems to lend

Dhvsicfan an autopsy was performed
i,1oD the body of Collins, and all indi-
cations. according to the verdict Of
the doctors, pointed to the fact that
the dead man had been severely bruised

the indications are that there was

and the bruises were sustained then.

An examination Of the gash IN the
throat showed rat the jUgular vein
had been cut sr- d'ath resulted from

Death must have resulted within a
few. seconds after the cut was made, ."
said the doctor, and if he had cut the

LEFT eve had the appearance Of having
received q blow If he was murdered
he was probably knocked unconscious
frst and then his throat was cut. How
ever that was, it is evident that the
throat was cut after he was in the
cave.
The officers who uphold the suicide
theory claim that the bruises were in

bruised himself against the rocks Of the

EVIDENCE INDICATES
OLD MAN WAS MURDERED
Autopsy Shows That Samuel Collins Was Engaged
in Struggle Before He Died.
No Knife Found the Discovered Beneath Stones
at the Mouth

ELLIS HOLLOW has not yet given
| up the whole secret Of the mys-
FERROUS tragedy enacted within It's
rugged walls, and whether Samuel
Collins died the victim Of a murderer's
Diade or by his own hand has not been
positively proven, but in the light Of
developments yesterday if seems al
most certain that a murderer sought to
Hloe MS bloody crime in that narrow
cave. A thorough search Of the cave
lalled to reveal any knife that must
nave been near by if Collins hand
ureW II across his own throat. and an
autopsy upon the body disclosed evil
oences Of a struggle before death that
must have occurred in a hard fight for
ne Added 10 this evidence of murder.
Clotted blood was found beneath the
rocks piled in the mouth of the cave.
indicating that the stones had been
pled upon the blOOd-cOvered ground.
IL now develops that a strange man.
VINO has not been seen since. made an
engagement on the fatal Monday to
meet Collins at his home just two hours
before the latter disappeared, and two
strangers were seen hanging about the
w asatka building but a short time
before Collins left. Evidence has de-
Yel0ped to the effect that Collins had
money. Some half-bUrned clothes that
were found in the southern part of
the city were secured and one of the
shirts was partially identified as one
worn by Collins the Sunday before he
disappeared.
The hills were searched in every
crack and crevice by officers and Gu
rlous men and boys, but nothing of
Importance in the case was found. The
ofhcers profess to hold firmly to the
theory Of suicide, but an inquest viii
be held this afternoon to determine the
nature Of the death.
