LYNCHED WRONG MAN.
Investigation Shows That the Negro
Hanged by Mo in KanAas Was
Not Slayer of Omcer.

Pittsburg, Kan, Dec. 27.-It is re-
ported that Joe Cooley, a brother of
Montgomery Cooley, who was lynched
by a mob here Thursday morning, is
wounded and in hiding at Weir City,
Kan. and later investigation of the
trouble between Officer Hinkle and the
Cooley brothers tends to show that
Joe, and not the man who wa lynched,
fired the shot which killed the police
a Two other brothers, Gus and
jess, are in Jail at Girard, charged with
being implicated in the murder, but
Joe escaped. The mother of the God
ley boys is said to have asked a physi-
clan here to treat Joe for a gunshot
wound in the neck. She would not tell
the whereabouts of her son, and the
doctor refused to go with her. The of
icer's revolver, with which he was
killed, has not been found, and it is be-
lieved that the man who did the kill
ing has the pistol in his possession.

QUEBEC, Jan. Maxim Gogan the
oldest man in the Maritime provinces
and the wealthiest citizen along the
shores Of the St Lawrence Gulf, Is dead
at the age Of los years and seven
months. He was tie grandson OF Louis
Gogan. who fought under MontcaIm, in
the defense OF Quebec. Louis ran away
to the city before the entry of the
British troops He and a few of the
weaIthtest citizens loaded a schooner
with plate, jewelry and money and set
sail for France.
They carried enough vaIuables to ona-
Bile the party to live in luxury for the
rest of their lives. But for two years
the schooner faced head winds and on
emerging into the Gulf of St. Lawrence
a gale struck the craft, swept it down
the coast Of New Brunswick. and ran it
on a ledge just outside Of Coeagne.
Bearing the Count Hautreve On his
back, Louis Gogan swan ashore at Co
cagne Point, y. B. He acted as body
servant to the nobleman until the count
died in 1853 Before his death the count
told him about the great riches which
had gone down with the schooner, par
ticularIy describing three large boxes
filled with gold coins.

Gogan family from father 20 son, and

tell how much they contained, but as
he never did any work after that date
and drank mostly French wines. besides
leaving a fortune at his death, the
neigbbors have inferred that there must
have been fully $500 in the treasure
boxes.
In addition to much more money Max
i'm Gogan left eight children. all Of
whom are living in luxury and surround
ed by children and grandchildren.
He also left a reputation for being
able to drink rore liquor thln any
other man in the provinces For more
than fifty years he drank a quart of
brandy every day and finished up at
night by taking a pint of extra dry
champagne. He sIent most of his time
out of doors, going from place to place
to oversee the work of his farms and
in his factories, and he never seemed
the worse for the liquor in the morning

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But 1t Has Proven of Interest ana Value
70 Thousands.


Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become feshy and plump
IL can only result from the food we eat
and digest. and that food should be al
luminous or flesh forming food, like
eggs, beefsteak and cereals, in other
words the kinds Of food that make flesh
are the foods which form the greater
part of our daily bills OF fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach from abuse and oveTwOrk, does
not properly digest and assimuate il,
which is the reason so many people re-
main thin and underweight; the diges-
tive organs do not completely digest the
flesh forming beefsteak and eggs and
similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or in
convenience from their stomachs.
II such persons would lay their preju-
Gices aside and make 4 regular practice
of taking. after each meal. one or two o.

would be quickly and thoroughly digest

natural peptones and diasJase which ey-
cry weak stomach lacks. and by supply
