People with good blood possess strong,
steady nerves and are blest with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. If we could
always maintain the purity OF the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most of the ills that aftiict
humanity and undermine the constltu-
ton are caused by an impoverished
or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and the
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full OF
pimples and splotches. Itching, scaly
teruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and is not supplying proper nourish-
inent to the system. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
sluggish, impure blood than any other
cause. To build up the blood, restore
and nutritious again Is the only rationa

A RACE WAR.

Thebes, Ill.,, April 27.-There is
still much excitement over the lynch
ing of the negro last night. and the
whites threaten dire disatser to any
blacks brave enough to come to the
city. In fact, some of the negroes
attempted to return here early this
morning, but were driven back, being
fired on by a mob. AS near as can he
learned, none of the white people
were killed in the fight last night,
while more of the nergoess were in
jured than at first supposed. The ex-
citement Is running high and the city
officials have ordered an extra lot of
police on duty until the trouble is
over.

MEXICO IS EXCITED.

Mexico City, April 27.-The sudden
ness in the rise of silver has created
much interest and excitement. New
York exchange has dropped in three
days 81 points, from 151 to 1870 pre-
MUM. and drafts were slid today at
the latter figure. Bankers believe
that the gold premium will go still
lower. Local opinion attributes the
rise in silver to various causes-to
anticipate the war over the Balkan
question or over Machuria, and to
negotiations goingon for giving silver
more stable exchangeable value.
The continual and violent fluctuations
in the white metal cause much dis
turbance to business.

ST. Louis READY.

st. Louis, April 27.-The city is
beginning to assume gala attire for
the festivities that will open with
the national and international good
roads convention and close with the
dedication of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition. Both events will be at
tended by the president of the United
States and numbers of men of national
and International repute. The real
beginning of dedication week was in
augurated this afternoon when the
U. S. monitor Arkansas, which has
been ploughing against the waters of
the Mississippi for many days ON her
way from the gulf, arrived in st.
Louis harbor. Thousands of people
gathered along the river to welcome
the. arrival of the warhsip. A dele
cation of citizens met the Arkansas

When this last letter was received
by Sheriff Struthers he was at his
wits end to discover the author.
While reading over the papers together
Sheriff Struthers and his deputy, Geo.
Smith, discovered that the letter ''f''
as 1T was written ON the typewriter
was off its base in some manner. The
writing was the type of Smith Pre-
mier typewriter. Mr.. Smith thought
that here was a clue, and under in
structions from Sheriff Struthers,
made close examination of all the
typewriters in the city, and discovered
that the typewriter in the Sun office
had the same character of letter as
was found in the typewritten copy.
A conversation was had with Mr..
Connolly and suspicion rested ON
young Thomas. who has been acting
somewhat in the capacity of repor
ter ON that paper
Before the last letter was received
George Smith evolved plan which
detected the young man. He went
to the Sun office and placed small
piece of wax ON the capital letter
''B. " 1t was reasoned that when he
made answer to the letter box of
Sheriff Struthers that he would use
this in addressing his letter as he had
formerly done, as follows: ''Box 2,
City, and that when this letter
''B'' was used it would blur. 1t acted
like charm and the letter ''B'' was
blurred on the last envelop received
by Sheriff Struthers yesterday, which
was as follows:
BOX 2:-My proposition is this:
that you will pay me certain sum
to know the whereabouts of the rob-
bers and that you keep all reference
to me out of the trouble until the
parties desired are captured have

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

Through the activity of the sher-
ifs office there was run down yester-
day a young boy, who is a dangerous
character IN this community and one
whom The Sentinel readers have
had some knowledge of before.
The name of the young man who
has been run down and who has con-
fessed that he is an ANONYMOUS letter
writer. is the boy who was purported
to have done the letter writing against
this paper last fall, Charles F.
Thomas, Jr. AT that time this paper
charged that the letters which attack
ed this paper and it's editor and which
appeared in the other evening paper
were inspired by another person. who
stood in cloes relation to young
Thomas. AT the time this paper expos
ed the methods of the young man,
but was forgiving to him, because he
was doubtless being urged to say
what he did. But his propensity for
writing has brought him into more
serious trouble and today he is self
confessed anonymous letter writer, a
character that is abhorred by almost
everybody, because everybody is at
the mercy of the villain who will
write anonymous letters.
1t appears that short while after
the safes were blown up in this city
that letter was received by the
Sun in this city. as follows:
Editor Sun: have knowledge of
the robbries which were committed
short time ago and am willing to
give my knowledge to the proper par
ties, if l am paid enough. Il know
every party concerned. And also l
wish no trickery about writing to
me. You are at liberty to do what
you please with this letter.
Truly.

am well acquainted in Grand
Junction, and am on the square. -
When this last letter was received
they believed they had the young
man cornered. Yesterday afternoon
they went to the public schools of the
city and took young Thomas in
charge and took him to the sheriff
office where he was questioned Be-
fore the questioning had gone very far.
Thomas broke down and confessed
all. He not only confessed to having
written the letters to the shreiff max
ing grave charges. which he could not
verify, but he has written letters of a
different nature and to other people,
which are still under investigation.
An anonymous letter writer is bad
man in any community. 1t is black
mailing, pure and simple. The gov
ernment has most stringent laws
against it. The character and repu-
tation of any man or woman is at the
mercy of those who indulge in it.
When The Sentinel last fall arraign-
ed this young man before the bar of
public opinion, it knew at the time
that he was doing something wrong,
but that possibly others were leading
him. He yesterday endeavored to
connect another boy with him in the
transaction.
In his capacity of reporter for the
other paper, he has had access to Mr.
Connelly's typewriter and it was by
this means that he communicated
with the sheriff's office and wrote his
letters. In justice to the other paper
it can be said that they had no
knowledge of the boy or the trans
actions with which he was connecting
himself.
That this paper's estimate of the
young man and those connected with
him, if such there were. was true, is
proven by the exposure that has Just
been made through the sheriff's Office

ONE HORSEPOWER TO- EVERY
 sEvEvN PEOPLE. l

It would be difficult ito obtain better proof of the great industrial advance
 ment of the United States than is fur nished by the fact that there is em- ployed in the United States one horse power in manufacturing, establishments for each seven of the population, and that ten years ago the figure was one to ten, and twenty years ago one to fourteen. It is estimated that the horsepower now availablesin this coun- try for manufacturing purposes foots up to the enormous total of 11,300, ,000 This is almost double the figures of ten years previous, which were less than
 six million, while twenty years ago the total was less than three and a final millions. .-..s Not only has the power that can be utilized in our manufactures increased with our population, but it has actually advanced in greater ratio than, have the
 number of workers. These figures, be it understood. include only power used for manufacturing, and they make no account of the locomotives on railways
 or of the power in electric light plants or other similar establishments. Of
 this total engine power, fully three
 fourths is obtained from steam, Water
 power provides for perhaps, fifteen per
 cent, and the rest is divided among
 miscellaneous sources of mechanical
 power. While electricity is now credi- ted with only a small per cent, the
 growth in the use of this power is re-
 markable, and it bids fair, at no far
 distant time to rank second inly to
 steam. According to the figures of the
 last census, there were employed in
 manufacturing and mechanical pursuits
 in the United States about 7,113,OO0 per-
 sons, and on this showing there would
 be over one and one-half horsepower
 available for the use of every person in,
 the manufacturing industries of our
 country.-Boston Herald.

tice on the ground that disease is there by spread far and wide.
 Dr. J. M. Hirsch, of Chicago, gives his opinions on the subject in Popular Mechanics. He says, in part: "The most delicate perfume upon the hands is not sign of freedom from germs, and the most refined are not free from disease of lungs or throat, and the germs are rapidly spread by touching the hand that has handled the handker- chief of one afflicted with cald, ca tarrh or consumption. These diseases claim more than one-seventh of all the deaths. Our street cars carry signs re- questing passengers to abstain from splitting therein. These same passen- gers may hold their hands before their mouths when they cough and cover it with germs enough to infect a thousand people. They may use their handker- chiefs with the same result, and when We have an epidemic of the grip. it is spread by the grip of the hand of a friend or a casual acquaintance or a mere stranger just introduced" The writer then refers to eczema. scarlet fe- yer, and diphtheria, and declares that these diseases are often spread by means of the hands. He also asserts that all germ diseases may be dissemi- mated in this manner.
 The above has been quoted merely to show to what extreme lengths faddists will so in order to drive home their

Danger of Carrying Disease Germs
 Very Remote.
 The pernicious microbe is omnipresent and persuasive beyond belief, and acts upon the minds of certain imaginative individuals with the force of contin- ual nightmare.
 Such persons are possessed with the idea that hurtful germs are lurking ev- anywhere and are only waiting for the opportunity to bounce upon their un- suspecting victim. To so absurd an extent is this view of the matter carried that in the most simple actions of eve- ry-day life deadly danger to health is seen. Kissing has long been interdict- ed by these advanced thinkers as an especially dangerous custom, and now 1t is declared that handshaking is the means of spreading a long string of maladies.
 Handshal1ing has ever been looked upon as very innocent and harmless mode of demonstrating ones friendli- ness, politeness or respect. It comes, therefore, as ashock to read that hand shaking has been denounced in exceed ingly strong terms, and that the advice has been given to discontinue the prac-
