of the United States government in the

The Best Remedy for Croup.

Iron the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe.l
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle Of
the night by whoop from one of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost in case of Group
as a revolver is to be lost in case Of burg
lars. There used to be an oldfashioned
remedy for Group, known as hive syrup
and tolu, but some modern mothers saw
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
better, and does not cost so much. II
causes the patient to throw I'D the
phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in
shorter time. Give this remedy as soon
as the croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. 1t never fails and
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale

STABBED TO DEATH. Bearing twenty
one stilleto wounds, the frozen body of
Salvador Battallia was found yesterday
lying in a pool of blood, in the middle
of the Franklin avenue bridge in Min
neapolis, MINI. The police are working
on the theory that the.man was lured to
the lonely spot where the body was found
and was killed in a spirit of revenge.
That robbery was not the motive is clear
from the fact that S65 was found untouch-
ed in his pockets, while loaded reyol-
yer in the hip pocket showed that he had
been struck down without chance
to defend himself. Antonio Cesto, 8
shoemaker, is held under suspicion that
he knows something of the murder. 1t
is not thought that he was directly COLI
nected with the actual murder, as he has
already established an abb, but trail
of blood leading from the side of the muir
dered man led directly to his door, and
the knob was actually besmeared with
blood. If Cesto answers the questions
put to him in a satisfactory manner he
Will be released otherwise he may De
charged with completely in the affair.

the respective city or county treasIrers,
who shall account for such capitation
taxes as though assessed by the commits
sioner of the revenue, a penalty OF
from 500 to 81, 600 being provided in
each case.

Then it will adjourn over until Friday

Tom Horn, the Murderer, Hanged.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 20.-Horu was
hanged at HOP O'Clock. Despite the
threat of the cowboy friends of Tom
Horn that attempts would be made to
rescue the murderer of Willie Nickel,
there was no attack on the jail last
night. Troops and guards to the num-
Der of several hundred slept on their
arms all night waiting for developments
of that nature. Reports came in that
four hundred bad men were gathered in
the mountains west of Cheyenne. Their
courage apparently was not strong
enough to put into execution whatever
concerted plans they may have had in
view for the night. AT daylight this
morning there was no sign ofan invasion.
Horn, the condemned map, evidently
realized the hopelessness of the situa-
ton and last night relented from his
belligerent attitude to the warden. When
his spiritual advisor arrived he joined in
prayer and also sang hymns. Horn APP
peared to be completely cowed. He dis
PLAYED no weakness, nevertheless, so far
as temporal affairs are concerned, stat
ing that he would make no confession.
He went to the gallows accompanied
by his spiritual advisor. Horn was bis
own executioner, for as he stepped upon
the trap weight was released, which
knock down the supports and Horn drop
ped into eternity. Horn was convicted
of the foul murder of Willie Nickel, a
lS-year lad, residing 90 miles north Of
CHEYENNE, who was mistaken by the
assassin for the father, who the cattle
men wanted out of the way. Horn re-
ceived $500 for the crime. He confessed
to other crimes, he having received GER
tain sums to put people out of way.
Horn was linguist, and spoke the Ger
man, English, Spanish, and Apache and
several other Indian tongues fuently.
He was backed by Wyoming cattlemen,
who spent over $40, 900 to clear him.
His hackers fear he would confess and
implicate, them and they we're especially
anxious to give him his liberty. Sew
eral plots, having for their object the &c,
livery of Horn we're unearthed and
last August Horn overpowered the jailo'
and gotinto thestreet, but all efforts t.
escape were Of no avail.

THE BRIDES DREAM.

A Honolulu bride has written to her
friend as follows:
Dear Elsie:-In your last letter you
wanted to know where We spent the
honeymoon and whether we went to
the coast? No indeed we never left the
Islands. We went to Hilo for few
days and had a lovely time, but was
glad to get back to dear old Honolulu.
We have had the cottage all fixed up
and you wouldn't know 1t. You re.
member that southeast room, where
the sun poured in all day; you know
we called 1t the oven on account of 1t
being so hot; well you should see II.
It's simply a dream and too lovely for
anything, so cool and restful. The cell
ing is done In a cloud effect, and the
walls papered with the cutest blue and
silver paper you ever saw, and a dado
OF darker blue burlap with a conven'
tional design picked out in silver,
When We went away we just left the
cottage in the hands of Messrs. Sharp
& Wise, the painters. Harold calls
them the Wizards Of the Paint Brush
and their charges are so reasonable
too. Mother has just called, so I'll post
this and write you later on and tell
you all the news.
Your dear friend,
MRS. HAROLD DELMA.
