THIEVES SECURED BOOTY vi
uED AT $3.50.
Echo Is a Small Place 10 Miles Nsth
of Colville, Wash.-Two Robbers IN
the DeaI-Money Stolen Was The
for Safe Keeping-TaIl and SIT
Man-Store in Isolated District

Colville, Wash, Feb. AT t1
o'clock at night II. L. Watts, nh
chant and postmaster at Echo, p
miles north of this city, was held b
and robbed by two masked men. TAF
secured booty valued at $500. Wals
had closed his store and was bulldog
big fire in the stove to keep u
building warm when a knock at To-
door attracted attention. He raistl
the bar placed across the inside Of To-
door, when the strangers. evident
customers, walked inside.
One, a tall man. showed a revolve
in Watts face, stating the business h
and his fellow thug meant to trar
sact. Watts obeyed the order hand
up" The short man proceeded to riff
the till and then searched Watts, wht
had money on his person, Few wor1l
passed. The strangers said nothing
on leaving and left no clue.
They being heavily clothed again,t
winter weather, and there being little
light in the room, Watts did not SEC
the masks on the men until threas
were made.
Most of the money stolen had beeS
deposited for safe keeping.
The fact that one robber was tai
and the other short adds interest L
the case, as the same comparison wa
made of the men who robbed Davit
Micel. a farmer in the same neighbor
hood, about two years ago, and ais
OF the two who robbed the Bossburi
railway depot about the same time. NJ
clue was left to identify the robbers
in any of these cases.
Watts was alone at the time Of thu
robbery. The store being in an iso
lated country place no one was nea
to be given the alarm and make chase
Many well Travelled roads center there
on any one of which the highwaymel
might escape. The store has no tele
phone communication. 1t is considered
strange that Watts did not notify the
sheriff. He gave no information abou
the postal funds. In any event the,
would be light. Watts has been II
business there about six months.

JUSTIN MCCARTHY HoNoRE0

Placed on English Civil List with
Yearly Pension OF 81 $50.
Justin Mccarthy, author of "a HistO-
nv of Our Own Times" THE Reign of
Queen Anne" (Harper9 and other his
tories well known in the United States,
has been placed on the English civil
list to receive an annual pension of
$3.50 ($1 ,250l, says Harper's. As Mr..
Mccarthy is a popular historical au-
thor whose works have sold largely in
England and America, one of the prom
inent English periodicals wonders why
a pension was bestowed upon him.
The fact is that for the past five years
Mr.. Mccarthy has been almost blind
and works under great difficulty, which
would be even greater were it not for
the devotion of his daughter, with
whom he lives.
Furthermore, he has always been
open handed and generous to fault
and in his old age has been somewhat
straitened on that account He is now
in his seventy-third year and, in add.
ton to his histories. has written a num-
Der of novels. At the age of eighteen
he began his journalistic career, going
later into politics. finally entering par
lament in 1870. Seven years ago he
retired from public life and has since
devoted himself entirely to literature.

wolves no mystery.
To the rare gift healing has been
added the rarest opportunities and

Ray doctors are but the natural tri-
umphs of their lives.
DIR. Horne wishes to emphasize the
fact that during the summer months
chronic diseases of whatever nature
are cured in one-half the time that
would be required during the inclem-
cnt winter weather. Nature lends her
aid to the physician and cures are
accomplished at this season of the
year in a comparatively short time.

from amidst the failures of others.
DR.. Horne publishes the names and
addresses of people cured, people well
known in the community, people
whose standing forbids the thought
of their lending their names to any
but an honest statement. The people
ask themselves, what does this mean,
and the answer impresses itself up
on them with a force that compels
conviction. Nothing but merit and
real conscientious work could pro-
duce such results and make such
record as this.
FREE X-RAY EXAMINATION
DIR. Horne never accepts a case
unless he knows to a certainty the
cause of the trouble, and this can only
be determined by a scientific eXamin-
alton. His N-Ray outfit is the most
elaborate and complete in this coun-
try. By his special microscopic at
tachment he is able to examine all
parts of the body and find out to an
absolute certainty the cause of the

amined; it is absolutely free. He viii
not charge you one cent. Come and
