Suicide of a Noted Criminal.

George McCauley, vino had an
unenviable reputation in Washing
ton, Alexandria and throughout
this section of the country, cut his
throat, wrist and thigh in the Washing
ton poor house day or two ago and, his
death subsequently followed. He had
been suffering from consumption for
some time. McCauley was noted crook.
He was about sixty. live years old and on
his ffty-eighth birthday he made the
boast that he had received sentences ag-
gregating thirty-eight years. Most of
his crimes were petty in character, but
some of the greater ones approached the
degree of crime and he received one fif-
teen-year sentence. His specially was
robbing hardware stores. The feature
of McCauley's career for which he was
most celebrated, and which earned him
the sobriquet "Fagin the Jew" was his
practice of Dickens character in institu
ting in Washington school for crime
in which boys were trained t. he crooks.
Some of his graduates have reached a
higher position in crime than their pre-
ceptor. McCauley also initiated Bill Sykes.
He was wont to take a slim youngster
with him on his burglarious escapades,
and hoist the boy over transom,
where he could assist his teacher in
effecting an entrance. McCauley orig
inally came from Richmond. He was a
peusiOner, having served during the war
on the U. S. steamer Allegheny. In
his will he bequeaths most of his effects
to Julius Taylor, for kindness shown
him. He also directed that drug bill
owing by him in this city be paid. Nc
Cauley was at one time prominent
figure in this city. Hewas daily spec
tator of the proceedings of the Police
Court few years ago, and while living
in this city made many acquaintance.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim, be encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat. gave him very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came so bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last
hope. A big dose was given him while
he was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect OF
the medicine was soon noticed and with
in an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for fortnight That
one little bottle worked complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.
