John Bell, the veteran wagon maker,
finished last Saturday fine new milk
wagon for the popular dairyman, w. A.
Allbaugh. The wood work of the wagon
is of the very best quality and shows
the artistic workmanship of Mr.. Bell
and is supplied in front with big gong
which can be operated by the foot of
the driver thus doing away way with
opening side door and ringing bell.
Since taking charge of the dairy bust
ness Mr.. Allbaugh has given the best of
satisfaction to his customers, always
giving them first class milk, and has
built the business up until on pay
ing basis. The iron work was done by
Fluke & Son, the popular blacksmiths.
We are in receipt of letter from Mrs.
Nclllc Alluc OculO3 VI Dlytucudlc, MO-,
asking us to correct the report publish
ed last week that she had attempted to
commit suicide by taking laudnum.
We cheerfully make the correction and
give the facts as we now learn them, the
information received last week merely
stating she had made an attempt to
suicide with laudnum but prompt work
had saved her life. Mrs. DEMO had
been suffering for several days with
toothache and could get no sleep, so she
purchased five cents worth of laudnum
at drug store and after bathing hel
face in it and taking small dose laid
down on lounge and fell asleep. Soon
after Mr.. DEMO came in and spoke tc
her, and when she did not answer he
shook her but still did not arouse mel
and seeing the laudnum bottle on 6
table gave the alarm and this gave rise
to the report that she had tried to sui
eide.

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

was too high for them to jump. They were discovered there by Mir. Ferris and his neiShbor, neither of whom were armed. They stood at the entrance Of the corral, and the lions ran around, trying to find a place of egress. They were becoming more and more desper- ate, so that it was a question only of a very short time when they would make a break at the entrance. When at last they started the neighbor threw q stone which hit one of the beasts in the fore head. He rolled over and never kicked. The others got away.
 Mir. Ferris was present at the capture of another lion. He and a neignoor were riding the range and came across a lion stretched out on limo over the trail. The cowboy pointed him out to MT. Ferris and told him to watch him bring the beast down. As he rode under the lion he tossed the rope in the air and it caught. The animal was jerked from the limb, alighting on the haunch of the horse, into which he ripped a gash a foot long and two inches deep. The horse kicked him off and the rider began to reel out the rope. It was entirely too short for him. The lion kept coming and would probably have made another landing but for a clump of bushes with which he collided and became entangled. When he was
 taken out his neck was broken.

P. 6 E. RIGHT OF WAY
Committee Requests an Early sottle-

A special call is made by the Phoenix & Eastern Railway right of way com mittee to secure the prompt payment oi the subscriptions taken some time ago, some of which are yet unpaid.
 The committee is being called upon constantly to take up the deeds which have been placed in escrow, so that the work of building the road need not be delayed, and in order to meet these obligations it is necessary that every dollar pledged be paid into the hands of the committed.

ACTRESS KILLING
 WAS PREMEDITATED
Later Devel opments of the Johnstohe-
 Hassett Tragedy.

Philadelphia. December 2.-Develcp- nents today in the murder of Kate Hassett of Keiths Bijou Theatre Stock company. who was shot and killed last night by Barry Johnstone, an actor formerly with Richard Mansfeld's company. indicate that the crime was premeditated. Johnstone. who after he had shot the woman attempted suicide. tonight is in critical condition. He is in possession of all his faculties. anc during the day occasionally mace in- quiry concerning Miss Hassett Eacn time he was given an evasive rep;y
 The police learned today that shortly after Miss Hassett had left her board ing-house for the theatre last night Johnstone forced an entrance into her apartments. He carried a coil of rope which he attached to a post of the actress bed. The police believe it was the murderer's intention to await the return of Miss Hassett and shoot her in her room, hoping to make his escape through a window by means of the rope. His presence in. the room was discovered by other boarders.
 They assert t.at Johnstone was greatly excited and had torn to shred. all the woman's clothing which he had found in the room. Fearing that he meant to harm the actress the board CTS intercepted her at the door of the house and related what had happened. As Miss Hassett turned to seek other quarters for the night Jonnstone it is said, rushed from the house and joined her. They had not proceeded far when he shot her and then turned the wea . pom upon himself.
 The acquaintance of Miss Hassett and Johnstone dates back year when both were members of Modjeska's com pany. Miss Hassett in private life was Mrs. Minna Beckwith Her husband resides in Chicago.
