WILSON is FOUND
Prisoner Who Disappeared at
State Penitentiary DiscoV.
cred Within Walls.
WAS HIDING UNDER BARREL SLAVES
tn Make Escape After
Search for Him Had Been
Abandoned.

Joliet, June 1S.-James NJ. Wilson,
the forger, who disappeared mysteri-
ously week ago at the states pris-
on, was found yesterday afternoon
hiding in the dry kiln of the cooper
shop, where he had secreted himself
beneath pile of barrel slaves. For
week, he claims, he has not had any
food and only little water. When
taken from the hole where he had
been hiding Wilson was nearly dead
and unable to walk.
The dry kiln is located in the north
half of the prison grounds and not
far from the shed where Wilson's
clothing was found. Deputy Warden
Pierson ordered Guards White and
Aldrich yesterday afternoon to make
another search through the structure,
which is piled high with barrel slaves.
They crawled over the top of these
with their lanterns, as they have done
dozen times during the Last week,
but had little hope of finding any
thing.
Finally, about o'clock in the af-
ternoon, White noticed something
move down in little opening in the
slaves. He called Aldrich and they
hastily threw off the slaves on top
and found Wilson lying in u little
square boX-like place less than three
feet wide and four feet long. The
prisoner was cramped by his position,
which he had only left twice to re-
plenish n cup with water from the
fountain in the yard.
Taken to Hospital.
Wilson was taken to the hospital,
where he will be kept until he can
safely be placed in the solitary cell.
He insists that he had no confederates
among the other prisoners, but the
warden and the deputies believe he
must have had ana that they furnish
ed him with water and perhaps little
food.
When asked why he concealed him
self in such place Wilson replied
that he did not know, but did it on
the spur of the moment, without
thought of the consequences. 1t was
learned through another prisoner that
Wilson had talked TO his ccllmate
about escaping and that he expected
to hide in sewer until the search for
him had been given up and then make
his escape some night by scaling the
wall.

rrIumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced;
pipes take the place of diseased sec
tions of the veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds, bruises,
burns and like injuries before inflam-
nation sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is an
antiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also aIlays the pain and
soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save you
time and money, not to mention the
Inconvenience and suffering which
such injuries entail. For sale by all
druggists.

Knowledge Of what IL Best More Inn
pOrtant Than wealth with

1t must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces-
sary to enable the best of the products OF
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for worldwide
preeminence unless they meet with the
general approval. not of individuals only,
but OF the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commentator, consequently.
becomes important to others, since TO
meet the requirements of the we'll in
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above IS true
not OF food products only, but is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly quarter of century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. Its quality is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin-
alive principles of plants known to act
most beneficially on the system and pre-
scented in the form of a pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but also to the method
OF manufacture OF the California Fig
syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi-
ty and purity essential in a remedy in
clan who is well informed and he will
answer at once that 1t Is an excellent
laxative. If at ali eminent in his pro-
tession and has made special study of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys-
tenn he will tell you that it is the best
of family laXatives, because it is sim
pie and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectuaIly, when
laxative is needed, without any un-
pleasant after-efccts Every well-in-
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup OF Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
tie, because it gives general satlsfac-
ton, but one should remember that in

A TRAVELLERS EXPERIENCES

\ party of gentlemen were gather
ed in the lobby of one of the leading
hotels the other evening, when an
argument arose as to what Red Ra-
ven Splits really were. One gentle
man who was travelling for Il big
house i'm indianapolis. ventured the
assertion that Notwithstanding the
extensive advertising, out of five in
the party not three could tell what
Red Raven Splits were, and to what
use they were put. When the matter
was put to a test it was found that
the indianapolis man had won. and in
the following language he told his
experience with Red Raven Splits:
II have found, when travelling from
place to place, taking my meals at
different hours. sometimes on the
train and sometimes at the hotel. that
my system became deranged, result
ing in sluggish liver, dizziness in the
morning, lassitude and loss of appe-
tite. l had seen the advertisements
of Red Raven Splits and CHANGED to
ask n druggist friend of mine what
they meant. You can imagine my
surprise at finding Red Raven Splits
were the remedy par excellence, for
just such disorder as | was suffering
from. ] tried bottle before break
fast the next morning and found
prompt relief. | learned that they
not only kept it at the drug stores,
but at any bar in any hotel, and since
then in all my travels, when suffering
from headaches, Indigestion or nau-
sea, l have been promptly relieved by
Red Raven Splits"

Why is it, asks an exchange, that
woman can struggle until she is red in
the face and worn out both in temper
and body by window in railroad
train in her vain endeavors to close or
open it when all that man has to do
is to walk up and so over exactly the
same line of action that she has already
exhausted, and down comes the refrac-
tory window in jiffy? 1t is most
humiliating fact, but very true one,
nevertheless, that not five women out
Of dozen ever succeed in arranging Il
window to their satisfaction. They
pull and tug until they are embarrassed
and finally in pleading manner look
around at some slip Of man, who
without any nonsense brings about the
desired effect, while the woman looks
on in silent wonder at his marvellous
skill and deXterity.

English Deer Hunting.


The running Of the deer begins In
November, and 1t is said they often
take us keen an interest in the hunt as
their pursuers. The hounds are never
allowed to kill them, and the same
ones are often run for several success
sive years. Twenty-Five of the heifers
and does are selected for the seasons
sport, and two are usually run In
week. The one chosen for the day is
drawn in queer looking two wheeled
covered cart to the appointed place.
The back of the cart is lowered until
it is level with the ground. When the
door is opened, the deer steps out, shifts
the air, with his head up, and takes
sweeping glance around before he is
away like shot. He is given five
minutes claw" while the well trained
hounds and horses stand tremblingly
impatient to be off in pursuit.
The old English staghounds have be-
come extinct, and foxhounds, bred for
the purpose Of the chase, have sue
ceeded them. So fleet are they that
the horses become jaded in their eff
forts to keep up with them.-Century.
