TO AYENGE Mr.. BURDlCK
James F. Burdick Of Mexico, q Cous-
in, on His Way to Buffalo,
New York.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Denver. Col, March 26.-James r. Bur
dick. of Guadalajara, Mexico, passed
through Denver yesterday en- route to
Buffalco where he said he was going to
avenge the murder of his cousin, Ed Bur
dick.
My theory is that some fiend employed
by Pencil committed the act. It was not
like Ed to let anybody get the best OF
him. don't believe Ed knew that this
midnight caller came from Pennell. be
lieve it was woman who arranged this
date with Ed, and believe Ed expected
her and did not want any Of the family to
know when he let her in.
II think this because believe know
Ed better than anybody ever did and his
weak point was women. Nobody knew
this SO well as did. L.
II don't know that will be able to clear
up the mystery, but it strikes me that ut
tie has been done. Anyway, some more
has got to be done when get there, for
intend at least to satisfy my own mind on
some points which seem to have been
overlooked" ,~ y...r r.

ONLY PARTLY TRUE.
Popular Ideas Regarding catarrh.

It is the common belief that what is
popularity known as catarrh Is simply a
chronic cold in the head. This is true as
far as it goes but as a matter of fact ca
tarrh Is by no means confined to the
nasal passages, but extends wherever the
mucous membrane extends, which means
nearly every part Of the body.
The mucous membrane is the inside
skin of the body and is nearly as extern
sive as the outside skin, and any infiam-
nation Of this membrane causing an extra
secretion of fluid is really catarrh.
Catarrh is. therefore, an old enemy dis
guised by many confusing names, for in
stance: Rhinitis is nasal catarrh; laryn-
gifts and pharyngitis throat catarrh
gastritis, stomach catarrh; cystitis and
nephritis, catarrh of the bladder and kid
neys.
Therefore, although the location Of the
trouble gives it various names, in reality
the sum total is catarrh and nothing
else.
Do not make the mistake of thinking
you have no catarrh because the head
and nose appear to be clear. II there is
a cough, tickling in the throat and hoarse-
ness you have throat catarrh, If there is
no appetite, but nausea gagging and dis
gust for food especially in the morning,
you have catarrh of the stomach.
The surest treatment for every form of
catarrh is an external remedy which acts
especially on the blood and mucous mem
branes; such q remedy is the new prepa-
ration sold everywhere by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a
medicine in pleasant tablet form and con-
tanning all the best and latest specifics
for catarrh.
stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain in
highly concentrated form, bloodroot red
gum of the Eucalyptus tree, and many
other equally valuableE curative elements,
and no one who suffers from any form Of
catarrh and has seen the inefficiency of
douches, sprays and powders will ever
go back to them after once trying so
pleasant preparation as Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and one which gives SO much re-
lief in SO short a time.
All druggists sell Sttart's Catarrh Tab
lets at SO cents for full sized package and
the regular, daily use OF them will eff
fectually cure this troublesome and dan
gerous disease.

THREATS BY PENNELL
People Who Heard Them In New York
VIII Be Called to Tell About 1t.

People Who Heard Them In New York
VIII Be Called to Tell About 1t.
Buffalo, March 2S.--Two men from New
York will appear before Justice Murphy
in the police court on Monday, when the
Burdck case will be temporarily re-
opened, to be questioned on converse
ton they had with Arthur r. Pennell last
December. ~.
In this talk Pennell is said to have in
TINA ted his intention to take another per-
sons life. One of these men Is Alexander
J. Quinn. who was bartender In the
Hotel Roland in New York when Mrs.
Burdick was living there after her hus-
band had sent her away. The other wit
ness is the cashier of the Hotel Roland.
Both have been subpoenaed to testify In
the Pencil inquest. .+~
Quinn wrote to District Attorney Coats
worth telling him that for several days
in December Pencil was a frequenter of
the Hotel Roland while Mrs. ,Burdick was
staying at the hotel. Quinn and the cash
Ter became acquainted with Pencil, and
while drinking the lawyer mentioned his
troubles and said he was living the hap
piest days of his life at the expense of
another and that they would not last
many months longer. He also Indicated
according to Quinn's story, that he in
tended to kill some one.
The exact details Of the conversation
are what the authorities desire. When
Mr.. Coatsworth received the letter he
showed it to the chief Of detectives, Mr.
Cusack, who telegraphed to Inspector Nc
Cluskey, head of the New York detective
bureau, with a request to verify the con
tents. McCluskey's men saw Quinn and
the cashier. heard the story and tele-
graphed their report to Cusack. Then the
witnesses were ordered to be here on Mon
day morning.
Another matter upon which the police
have been busy is a. statement made tt
them by Della Leary "a domestic en-
ployed in a house on the west side Of
| Elmwood avenue, between Bryant ani
Summer streets. The back windows o.

.SHEYLlN'S STRONG TALK
He Says the President Is Going to
Sweep Things il 1904 Wall
Street Warned.

washington, March 2s.-Thomas TT.
Shevlin republican national committee
man Of Minnesota, after his long talk
with President Roosevelt on political con-
ditions in the northwest, said to a re-
porter:
II told the president that he would re-
ceive the largest labor vote next; year of
any man who ever occupied the White
House. I know whereof speak, for am
not only an employer OF labor myself, but
I keep posted on what the various organi-
cations are doing. And know that labor
is strong for the president.
1.-The leaders point with pride to the
refer to the fact that for the first time in
history a president Of the, United States
undertook to settle a great controversy
between capital and labor by assuming the
Initiative and personally summoning rep
resentatives from each side to the execu-
tive office at Washington. e
Heretofore said Mr.. Shevlin, the
federal troops have been called gut to
preserve peace and order, but in the coal
strike the president useda moral suasion
and won a worldwide victory
IT have been in $NewatYork for two
weeks continued Mr.. iShevlin, land hear
some funny things. They do say on Wall
street that the next national republican
committee will be rather short of funds

you know what I. tell those pessimistic
gentlemen whenever they talk about any
possibility of democratic success? Well,
I simply say to them that they dare not
oppose the nomination Of President
Roosevelt and after he is nominated they
cannot afford, as practical business men,
to vote against him. This administration
has gone just far enough on the trust
question to serve notice on any clique or
cabal Of men that they cannot control and
shape the financial policies Of the govern
ment. And business interests generally in
dorse this position.
I'm the west Roosevelt will sweep
everything. Our people like his rugged
character and independence And when
ever they hear of a political boss being
turned down at the White House they
rejoice. ~ ~,

SCARCITY OF DIAMONDS

New York, March 2S.-Cablegrams to
New York to diamond importers from
their European brokers announce that the
London Selling Syndicate of the De Beers
Mining company has made another adj
vance of 5 per cent on all grades of rough
diamonds. This on top Of an advance Of
5 per cent five weeks ago, has created a
sensation among the importers.
1t has long been believed that the De
Beers company has an almost unlimited
quantity Of stones held in reserve for
tightening the market but the last adj
vance has led brokers' to believe that there
is actually a scarcity Of diamonds not only
in the market, but in the South African
mines. s5 i

WANTED PART OF THE BARREL
Negro Society on Hunt For Mythical
Cash.

The aged African who occasionally
drops into the court of ordinary here
and asks of Judge Allen the $500 Han
ma pension for ex-slaYes has counter
part in a delegation of colored citizens
of Leslie, who came to Amer1cus q day
or two ago on wild goose chase after
mythical coin. This benighted layout
of black talent probably represented
the Aromatic Sons of Ananias, or some
other secret order, and aboard the
train the bellweather of the unbleach-
ed flock confded to Deputy Revenue
Collector Richardson the astonishing
information that Mr.. Charles A. Prick
er had just received a whole barrel of
gold coin, with orders to divide 1t out
among the colored societies here. The
part coming to the "a. S. of A." he
said, was 81, 900, and the fragrant dele
cation in the Jim crow compartment
were hot on the trail of the gold eagles.
Richardson attempted to show them
the absurdity of such a PROPOSE
ton, but to no effect, and on they
came to Americas. An ash barrel in
the back yard at Fricker's store was
the nearest approach to the mythical
treasure key and sorrowfully they hung
the way freight back home.

PLANTING ACRES OF POTATOES
Immense Crop is Being Planted Near
Americus.

Hundreds of acres of sweet potatoes
have been planted near Americus with
in the past few days, and the yield of
tubers next fall should be enormous.
Many farmers are planting large fields
IN the succulent yellow yams, and will
make money thereby. Mr.. N. A. Ray
has just completed the planting of a
field of twenty-five acres, ana as the
average yield of potatoes per acre is
from 300 to 400 bushels, it can be figur-
ed out that his is a large crop. Pota-
toes sell readily in the Americas mar
ket, even in the fall, at so cents per
bushel, and are much higher now.
Last fall Americas merchants shipped
sweet potatoes in carload lots to dis
tant cities, realizing handsomely
thereon. Potatoes are always in de-
mand; they are cultivated almost with
out cost, and as a money crop it is
quite as sure and far more profitable
than cotton.
