A Startling Test.

To save a life, DR.. T. Merritt,
of No. Mehoopany, Pa, made a
startling test resulting in a
wonderful cure. He writes "a
patient was attacked with VIC
lent hemorrhages, caused by ul-
ceration of the stomach. had
often found Electric Bitters ex-
cellent for acute stomach and
liver troubles so | prescribed
them. The patient gained from
the first, and has not had an
attack in ID months" Electric
Bitters are positively guaran-
teed for dyspepsia, Indigestion,
constipation and kidney trouble

But for prompt action there
would have been a serious fire
at Ole Christianson's steam
dye works on Sixth street to-
day about 1890; as it was the
fire which started from a can
of gasoline burned the wood
work of the kitchen and caused
other slight damage.
A large amount of gasoline
is used at the dye works for
cleaning clothes, etc., and this
morning when the oil man
made his call a large can was
filled with gas and left on the
porch. Soon after it was carried
into the kitchen and placed on
the floor but a few feet away
from the cook stove in which
there was a fire. For some un-
accountable reason the oil did
not explode until the can was
carried to the door and thrown
outside.

LOOKS SERIOUS FOR HANS
Indist,nant fsr Murder May
Cau,e Considerable Trouble

just what will developed when
the defense has their hearing is
not known but just at present
everything indicates that Fred
M. Hans, Chief Detective of
the Nebraska and Wyoming
Division of the North Western
system is in very serious trouble
as the result of his Indictment
for murder by the Brown coun-
ty Grand Jury.
A short time previous to the
tragedy Hans went to the ranch
of the stockman and protesting
to be cowboy went to work as
a cattleman. During his few
weeks residence with the stock
man Hans claims he unearthed
a plot to rob an Elkhorn pas
senger train near Ainsworth,
Neb. claiming the stoclman was
prominently implicated. After
securing a warrant for the ar
rest Of the stockman Hans pre-
vailed on the Sheriff of Brown
county to let him serve the war
rant and arrest the stockman,
inasmuch as he had worked up
the evidence. The Sheriff and
several others accompanied
Hans to the ranch where the
stockman lived, Hans request
ing them to remain outside
While he went in and made the
arrest.
Hans was gone but a short
time when he returned and told
the Sheriff and others the stock
man had attempted to shoot
him and he was forced to kill
him to save his own life. This
occurred on April 9th 1901 and
until now nothing has resulted.
Rich and in influential relatives
of the dead stockman have now
taken up the case and will pro-
secute it to the limit. The
rail road company has selected
a prominent attorney to defend
Hans. 1t is said the little
daughter of the dead stockman
will.give some startling testi-
mony when the trial is com
menced.

POSTAL CARDS IN GERMANY.

English and American people writing
TO their friends on the Continent are
unaware that a plain card such as is
permitted by the postal authorities IN
England and the United States does not
pass as a postcard abroad. That there
should not be unity Of practice in this
matter is much 10 be regretted. for the
recipient OF such missives abroad has to
pay a fine of 3D. The German post de-
partment will receive as postcards only
such as bear the official mark.
Surely some remonstrance should be
made for the postofiices abroad have
nothing to gain by this bit of red-tape-
ism. The only difference between Ger
man official postcards and a plain one
is that they have the work ''pOstkarte'
and the stamp printed on them; while
the only difference between the German
official foreign postcard. ana an ordinary
card is that the words ''POstkarte- Welt
Iostverein. Carte postale-Union pos
tale universeIe." stand in the left top
corner. and the stamp in the right one.
II is possible that the German postmas-
ter general objects 10 the shape OF the
non-official postcard. but this objection
also is indefensible from a practical
point of view.-London Pail Mall Ga
