Reform Of Woman Halter.

William Ross. retired farmer Of
Chaplin. Conn, 70 years old, owning
property valued at 100000, lived
alone on his farm for nearly half a
century, refusing to have a house
keeper or to allow any woman under
his roof. In his youth he had an UNI
happy love affair which caused him
to adopt the life OF recluse, but he
would never discuss the subject and
he flew into rage whenever it was
preached. Two years ago he was
stricken with paralysis. His condi-
tiOn necessitated the attendance of a
nurse, and Mrs. Emily Clark, young
widow of the village, was employed.
Ross at first objected to her pres
enee, but became reconciled in time,
and as she nursed him back to health,
the woman hater grew fond of her. AS
soon as he was able to sit up he pro-
posed, and they were married in his
home the other evening by the Rev.
]. E. Small, pastor of the Chaplin
Congregational church.

SCOUT EASILY READ SIGNS.
Wonderful Ability of Man Engaged in
Frontier Warfare.

Wonderful Ability of Man Engaged in
Frontier Warfare.
,'Scott Glover, famous scout, who,
it will be remembered, had been with
Forsyth, afterward joined my COM
mand," said Col. Carpenter, describing
an experience Of frontier warfare, as
related by DR.. Cyrus Townsend Brady
in his story Of Carpenter and His
"Brunettes," in the June Pearson's.
He had married Sioux woman and
had lived for years with the Indians
before the outbreak of hostilities. He
could speak their language and knew
their ways and customs, and was per-
rectly trained in reading signs. It
was interesting to see how he could
read what the tracks meant, as If 1t
had been a book. He could tell how
long since the tracks were made,
whether they were made Dy horses or
ponies, shod Tor unshod, how many
were ridden, how many were driven,
whether 1t was war party or rarity
changing camp. If Indians stopped
for the night, he could tell how many
men or squaws were in the party, and
to what tribe they belonged, from the
shape OF their moccasins, and many
more details"

went into effect July / in Illinois
and the result is that there is not

have the convicts do the work of

TO ALL CATARRH SUFFERE
Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure by ]. T
Bennett or Money Refunded.

The popularity and increase in
the sales OF Hyomei are unique in
the annals of medicine. Such aston
ishing cures have been made by,
this remarkable remedy that the
proprietors have authorized J. T.
Bennett to sell every package of
Hyomei under an absolute guarantee
that it will cure catarrh. If it does
not, the purchaser can have his
money refunded by ]. T. Bennett.
HyOmei is no ordinary remedy.
It is the only method of treatment
that sends by direct inhalation to
the most remote part of the air
passages, balsamic air that
destroys all catarrhal germs in the
breathing organs, enriches and
purifes the blood with additional
ozone, and makes permanent and
complete cures Of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.00 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest
pocket, a medicine dropper and a
bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts
a lifetime, and if one bottle does
not cure, an extra bottle Of Hy-
omei can be obtained for so cents.
1t is the most economical of all
remedies advertised for the cure of
catarrh, and is the only one that
follows nature in her methods of
treating diseases of the respiratory
organs.
Breathe through the inhaler for
a few minutes four times a day and
your catarrh is cured. That's all.
If not cured j. T. Bennett will
refund your money.

Memphis. Tenn, March S.-The
shooting of +. X. Casper, Deputy

The organization is said TO have
originated in "A concerted plan OF the
negroes to protect members OF their
race against the whites, but under
the leadership OF Jim Brown the pur'
pose OF the order is believed to be OF
iensive instead OF defensive.
The Blue Masons have a certain
religious Specification which fires the
blood OF the negroes to wreak venge'
ance upon white neighbors.
Brown shot Deputy Sheriff Casper
from his shanty boat near the Ar
kansas shore, with a Winchester rifle
Casper a few moments before had
tried to persuade Brown to come out
OF his boat. Failing, he returned to
the embankment and was in the act
OF mounting his horse when bal
from Browns rifle brought him to
the ground. Brown escaped to the
woods with his rifle, and is still at
large.

and Deputy Moore, armed with rifles
left Marion, Ark in search OF Brown
