A Farmers Good Story.

Velpen, Ind, April 6th.-Wm. OBJ.
Sullivan, a highly respected farmer of
this place, tells personal experience
to show that there is still some genu-
ineness and honest worth to be met
with in this age in which so many
frauds are reported.
yes, have been humbugged," said
Mr.. Sullivan, "and when 1 was so i'll
with the Rheumatism, Kidney and
Heart Trouble, I used a good deal of
stuff that claimed to be remedies for
these diseases only to find them worth
less.
But, as you know, 1 did find the
genuine remedy after all and had not
been taking Dodd's Kidney Pills very
long before 1 knew that they were an
honest remedy that would do all and
more than was claimed for them. They
cured me, made well man of me and
I am now as sound as 1 ever was.
Il can testify that Dodd's Kidney
Pills are a genuine remedy for Rheu-
matism and Kidney Trouble"

A UNIVERSITY FIRE.
Chicago Northvvestern Wing Was
 Destroyed. fs

Chicago Northwestern Wing Was
 Destroyed. fs
 CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-The south wing of the law and medical department of Northwestern university has been de- stroyed by fire, which caused the fire brigade hard struggle to subdue. The flames started from defective electric wire on the fourth floor of the building, which was formerly the Ire mont House, and after burning out lecture room crept up an elevator shaft to the seventh floor, where a clinic room was destroyed.
 Amid tables on which lay 8 score of human bodies, many of which had been disfigured by the students knife, the firemen fought the blaze.
 The interior decorations and furnish ings, which cost upward of $15O,Oo0, were marred and water soaked before the fremen had ended their struggle with the flames During the progress of the fire hundreds of students out witted the police and rushed up the stairways to rescue overcoats and oth- CT valuables. In spirit of bravado the students, yelling like Indians, filled the windows of the upper floors, way ing handkerchiefs at the crowd be- low. The loss is $35, GOO.
 The building cost Northwestern uni versity $5OO,O00.

GUARDED BY TROOPS.
Execution of Tom Horn, Scout and In.
 dian Fighter.


 [ CHEYENAA-, ,u.. ..uy. 21.--Tom Horn, scout, Indian fighter and cattle detective, went smiling to the gallows to expiate the crime of murdering Will lie Nickell, fourteen years old, whom Horn shot and killed on the Iron noun tain. Horns neck was broken, and six teen minutes after the drop fell he was pronounced dead.
 With almost his last words, spoken to an intimate friend Charles Irwin, spectator at the execution, Horn denied that he had confessed to the murder for which he was to die. He made no speech on the scaffold.
 The condemned man was calm to the end. Ten minutes before going to the gallows he lay on his cot smoking a ci- gar. After leaving the cell Horn was permitted to shake hands with Charles and Frank Irwin. Earlier in the day Horn had sent for his old employer, John c. Coble. manager of the Iron Mountain Cattle company, and Coble was allowed to visit him in the cell.
 After the forty spectators had been admitted to the jail and Horn had come out of the cell the execution was delayed while Rev. George H. Rafter prayed and Charles and Frank Irwin sang a cowboys railroad song, Keep Your Hand Upon the Throttle and Your Eye Upon the Rail-" bringing tears to the eyes of all the listeners ex- cept those of Horn himself
 At the conclusion of the song came an interview between Horn and Irwin.
 "Be game" said Irwin.
 You bet I will" replied Horn, who then assisted Sheriff Proctor and deputy to adjust the straps, the moose and the black cap. His last words were spoken to County Clerk Joseph Cah1ll, who assisted him to mount the trap door. They were:
 "Ain't losing your nerve, are you, Joe?"
 Soon after the trap fell the spectators passed out, each one shaking hands with Sheriff Proctor. All had been searched for firearms before entering, and guards armed with rifles kept their eyes fixed on Horns friends throughout the proceedings. Thousands of people l were congregated near the jail, and the | militia remained on guard until the ex- | ecution was over and the crowd had dispersed. There was no disorder. In letter to John c. Coble Horn de- I tailed his movements in the Iron noun tain country at the time of the Nickell murder and makes the startling admis- | sion that two men tried to have him kill Willie Niclyell, but he denies his al- legged confession of the crime to Joseph Lepores, which led to his arrest. Just before marching to the gallows Horn wrote 10 John c. Coble: q die in ten minutes. I didn't kill Willie Nick ell. I never made an admission to La Tors, Ohnhaus or Snow, and all swore to lies, including Irwin of Laramie" Rev. Ira D. Williams has made affida- l wit since the execution before County | Clerk Cahfll that Horn confessed to him that he had killed Willie Nickell

Ed Tierney, who is in town
booming the Irving French Cos
three nights engagement at the

Thursday, in commenting on the
unusual success which has attended
this company in the past eight
years, says he attributes this sue
cess largely to the liberal man
agerial policy which has succeeded
in keeping this company intact
year after year, while the closer
policy Of other companies has in
variably entailed a continuous
change Of cast, thereby sacrificing
the quality Of uniformity which is
so essential to a continued popular
ity. As an organization the Irving
French Co. is the most complete
and talented that expert manage
ment and liberal ideas could secure.
