ALL THREE TO HANG
Gar Barn Bandits Condemned
to Death at Chicago.
MUST PAY PENALTY FOR MURDERS
-DesperndOes of Indiana DugOut Bat

ed Murder of Unresisting
Street Car Employees.

CHICAGO, March 14.-Hanging for all
was the verdict of the jury in the MUIR
der case against the so called ''car barn
bandits" Harvey Van Dine, Peter
Neidcrmeir and Gustav Marx, who at
tanned notoriety by a desperate all day
battle that started in a dugout near
Liverpool, Ind, where the trio had TAX
en- refuge after a series of remarkable
crimes, including the murder of two
/ employees of the Chicago street rail
way at one of the company's barns in
this city, the motive in each instance
being robbery.
Emil Roeski, who was with the BAN
dts in the dugout and who participant
ed in many of their crimes, is to be
tried separately, not having been i'm
plicated directly in the murder for
which his associates were first ar
raigned.
The verdict of the jury was delayed
twenty-four hours on account of a TEN
porary division of opinion as to a
ing the punishment alike for all the de-
PENDANTS.
A confession on the part of Marx led
to the discovery of the hiding place of
the other bandits. Marx entered a plea
Of guilty and begged for mercy, while
the other bandits attempted to brazen
out Il plea of innocence. Epilepsy, the
result of heredity, was also pleaded in
the case of Van Dine. All three de-
PENDANTS are mere boys.

very promising at this time. They are

1875 tons per day. When the weather
opeLs up this amount will be doubled.
1t is said by those who know that it will
take ten years to dig the rock now 10

hood are prospecting and meeting with
encouragement. The pay roll runs
from 5000 to $500 per week and this
money for the most part is spent with

WAS A CHARITABLE MAN.
Though He Saved His Money, M.
Cohen Was Libegal.

Talking with citizen last FRIDAY
about the late M. Cohen, the eccentric
| Hebrew grocervLlan who died a few
days ago, ii was learned that the dead
man was a man Of large liberality.
Notwithstanding his seeming closeness
of spirit, and that he gave to his rel
atives large sums during his life To
each of his four sisters he gave So, 900
and to his four or five nieces he
also gave sums of similar amounts.
During the life time of his parents
il is stated that he sent them every
year $500, and when his mother died
he continued to give to his father S400
every year, until his death.
1t is said that he was also charitable
TO all who ever asked him for help,
and that he never turned deaf ear
to those IN want. Instances are related
of his gifts to persons who went to
him and asked for assistance It is
estimated by his relatives that he gave
away during his life time something
ike $lS, 600. He lived frugal life,
ana saved his money. but not to store
it up and worship 1T. He gave freely to
all his relatives, and that is PROBABLY
the reason that his estste did not
amount to as much as 1t WIS thought
1t would.
Though he lived the life of a mlser.
from these facts 1t will be seen that
he was not such The reason given
for the manner of life he led is that
good while ago negro servant at
tempted to poison him, and after that j
time he lived to himself in his little /
store on the corner OF East Seventh
and Embargo streets, having nothing
to do with any one, doing his own
cooking and refusing to hire help OF
any sort.

Local Market Tremendous
Mise in New Orleans and

From Saturdays DailyA

Cotton is king again.
To-Day II reached 49, cents u pound
on the local market, the highest price
the staple has commanded here for
years. and just twice as mucn as II
was back in the middle eos.
Though Naury county is not a great
cotton raising county, like some other
counties of the State, 1t is not because
our farmers cant raise it,-for Maury
county soil will produce cotton Just
like 1t produces wheat and corn and
potatoes and oats and everything else
more of it and better to the acre than
any other county in the state; but it's
because cotton got 80 low few years
ago and stayed that way that there
was no money In it. Still, there Is
considerable cotton in the county, and
the farmers who have been long headed
enough to mold their crop are not car
ing, when they go to bed these nights,
as song goes, If they never wake
up.
And the good part of the present
high prices Is that the rise came
while the farmers still had the CROPS.
Cotton has been high oil the past six
months or more 1t began to climb
last summer, and has continued to
Climb steadily. All last fall 1t stood
around IL cents, and it is we'll known
that there is big money III cotton even

In the Treatment Of Humours

CUTICURA REMEDIES.
A Remarkable Testimonial from
a Most Intelligent and

fear 1t was malignant. My friends
tried to persuade me to consult my
physician; but dreading that he would
insist on using the knife, would not
consent to 60. Instead, got Cuticura
Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment. /
took the former according to direc-
tions, and spread thick layer of the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew

warm water and Cdticura Soap. In q
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling to head, when IL
broke. Every morning 1t was opened
with large sterilized needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment put
on. Pus and blood, and yellow,
cheesy, humorous matter came out. In
about three or four weeks time this
treatment completely eliminated the
tumor. The soreness that had ex-

NHERE are two things that the whole

people have 1t. Those who stay In
|ors much and those who go outdoors
|hch. Working classes have 1t and
ientary classes have 1t.
Fhe doctor finds catarrh to be his con-
nt and ever-present foe. 1t compile
les nearly every disease he is called
on to treat
he second thing about catarrh on
ich all doctors agree, is that 1t is diff
pit TO cure it. Local remedies may
70 relief but they fail TO cure per-
luenuy. Sprays or snuffs amount to
