Some Talk of Lynching Alfred
 Knapp in Ohio.
 Indianapolis, Ind. Feb, %.-A special to The Sentinel from Hamilton. O., says: Alfred Knapp, who was arrested in In- dianapolis early this morning and brought to this city on suspicion of having killed his wife, Hanna Goddard Knapp, De- cember g last has confessed. When 1t became public that Knapp had confessed there was much talk of mob violence and the authorities prepared to resist any at tack on the city jail.
 Under Q strong guard Knapp was re- moved to the County jail where he now is under a special guard. The authori- ties believe they will have no trouble to- night. Knapp admitted this afternoon to Director of Police Mason. Captain Lene- han and Mayor Bosch that he choked his wife to death on the morning of Decem- ber 22. but says he does not know why he did it. He says that he then came up town. hired spring wagon. secured a wooden box from one of the shoe stores and drove back home. There hs stuffed the body into the box. being obliged to double 1t up in order to get the lid on. He then drove to Llndenwald. about two miles south of the city and crossed over to the Miami River just west of Linden wald. Reaching high blum over the river, he dumped the box containing the body into the water and drove back to town.
 Knapp told the police that he had some- thing elseson his mind, which he would probably disclose tomorrow. This Is thought by the police to be forerunner of a confession by Knapp of the murder of his iirst wife.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, Effectual and Convenient
 Cure for Catarrh.

Of Catarrh remedies, there is no end, but of catarrh cures, there has always been a great scarcity. There are many remedies to relieve, but very few that really cure.
 The old practice of snufflng salt water through the nose would often relieve, and the ashes, douches. powders and inhal- CTS in common use are very little, if any. better than the old fashioned salt water douche.
 The use of inhalers and the application of salves, washes and powders to the nose and throat to cure catarrh Is no more reasonable than to rub the back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much a blood disease as kidney trouble or rheumatism and 1t can not be cured by local treatment any mFe than they can be.
 To cure catarrh whether in the head. throat or stomach an internal antiseptio treatment Is necessary to drive the catar- rhal poison out of the blood and system, and the new cure is designed on this plan and the remarkable success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is because being used internally. 1t drives out catarrhal infec- ton through action upon stomach. liver and bowels.
 Wm. Zimmerman of St. Joseph, relates an experience with catarrh which is of value to millions of catarrh sufferers everywhere. He says: T neglected a slight nasal catarrh until it gradually ex- tended to my throat and bronchial tubes and finally even my stomach and liver became effected, but as l was able to keep up and do days work let 1t run along until my hearing began to fall me and then l realized that l must get rid of catarrh or lose my position as I was clerk and my hearing was absolutely necessary.
 Some of my friends recommended an in- haler, another catarrh salve but they were no good in my case, nor was any thing else until l heard of Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets and bought a package at my drug store. They benstited me from the start and in less than four months I was completely cured of catarrh although had suffer ed nearly all my life from 1t.
 They are pleasant to take and so much more convenient to uas than other catarrh remedies that I feel can not say enough in favor of stuart's Catarrh Tahlets."

RuMoRS AS TO FRISCO.
!. P. Morgan & Co. Said to Have

 Acquired the Road.
 New York. Feb. @.--Numerous rumors are afioat In Wall Street concerning the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad, including one of competitive buying for control by Morgan in- terssts, another that the seaboard Air Line is buying the stock and third that Rock Island interests are after the property.
 Official confirmation ia lacking in every case, but conservative opinion leans towards the theory that J. P. Morgan and Company will ultimately be found in control. in which event it is believed the property will be turned over to the Southern Railroad. There Is prao- ueally nothing to show that ssaboard inter- ests are after the property.
 Statements that Mr. Morgan also dominates Frisco are denied in trustworthy circles In fact, 1t is understood the St, Louis Union Trust Company party holds the balance of power. the stock being "trusteed' with that of President Yoakum and his associates,
 Preaidant Yoakum has been a regular vis- itor at the Morgan banking house for weeks past and has held numerous conferences there with George Perkins. MT Morgans partner. Some announcement concerning the Frisco Is expected in the near future
 In the last hour of the stock market re- port spread on the Exchange that Morgan and Company had purchased control of St. Louis and San Francisco for the Rock Island Rail- road Company. It was declared that control had been acquired through the purchase of a large amount of common stock. According to these same reports the price paid for the stock was sa % per cent in cash. the balance in notes extending from six to eighteen months. President Yoakum when seen at the office of Morgan and Company refused to confirm or deny the report. Mir Perkins. of the Morgan Arm, with whom Mr. Yoakum had been in con- ference, was no more communicative.
 Dispatches from New Orleans stating that the Frisco road had bought the New Orleans belt line could not be confirmed.

Interesting Report on Production of
 Precious Stones.


 Precious Stones.
 Washington. Feb. 2S.-Ths following preliminary report of the precious stone industry for 1902 is submitted by MT. G. F. Kunx to the United States Geological Survey:
 The year has been remarkable in the precious stone industry in America in . number of particulars, among which the following may be especially noted: The finding of . new locality for sapphire in Montana-a new crock. in the bed of which sapphire is found associated with gold, as in the Rock Creek region at Yogo 0ulch, and on the Missouri near Helena; the further development of new mine of the blue sapphire in Fergus County; and the continued workings of the other two mines in the same state Then comes the mining and development of the old beryl localities in Mitchell County North Carolina, and the develop ment of the beryi locality at Grafton. N. H. An amethyst mine has been opened in South Carolina, and two new amethyst deposits have been found in the State Of Virginia. The mining of rubellite in San Diego County, California. costumes, and Q new deposit near Banner, in the same region, has been found. The further de- velopment of chrysoprase in Tulare Coun- ty California. and the discovery of new locality in Buncombe County. North Caro- lina are to be noted. A deposit of vesu- cianite Qdocrasel has been discovered in Central California.
 The output of turquoise from eight or more Western localities continues, and 1t has been discovered at two localities in Alabama, the most easteriy region yet known for that gem.
 It has been the greatest year on record for the importation of diamonds. pearls. and other precious stoses. and is notable also for the patenting of three new forns of brilliant--one with SS facets. another with 10s, and the third. . most ingenious system of concaving the eight templet faces on . brilliant, and also concavina the faces oetagonai. and of producing oth- CT quaint forms, the claim in all instances being a greater briiliancy.
 The imports, also, of topaz. both the true and the no-ealled Spanish. Saxon and Scotch varieties. of coral in delicate tints of pink and of seed pearls and pearls in ropes, are worthy of remark. The following is the production of prec- ious stones in the United States during 1902:
 Sapphire, s15,ooo; ruby. none; topaz. none; beryl. $%.0Oo; emerald.
