the headquarters for the McKandlas
gang, q crowd that had held together
since the Missouri Kansas border ruf-
nan days and generally had things

and a number one stage hand, was the
superintendent. He tried to buy out
the McKandlas station; but, failing In
tSds. he built a new one near by, put
ting young Hickok In charge. Up to
that time he had never experienced
trouble with any one and was not like
" to have friction, especially with the
old station keeper, McKandlas, or his
men.
In the winter Of 1S0O-81 McKandlas
and his nephew and four. other men
passed by the new station on horse

afOot. They had q rope around the
old fellows neck, and occasionally they
would take a few turns around the
horn Of the saddle. make d run ON the
rope and jerk the old man down and
drag him on the ground until he was
nearly dead. The only spite they had
against him was that he was a North
Methodist preacher. II WiidsBill was

door of the cabin or hut. Hickok told
them he would shoot the first man who
took down the bars Of the corral The
elder McKandlas fred at Hickok. but
missed him. HickOk returned the fire
with a rife and shot Mc1kandlas in
the heart. The next shot from Hickok;
killed the nephew, and the two fell at
the front door. Just then the two at
the back door opened fire.: One shot
from a double barreled .gHn> lodged
seven full grown buckshot into Hick-
ok,s right side and breast, two Of which
entered his lungs. The two men who
stopped at the corral came to the as

The method of introducing forbidden
documents into the cars country Is
described by Carl Joubert, author Of
Russia as 1t Really Is." The purvey
or Of undesirable literature, having ar
rived on the frontier, at point some
distance from the railway. approaches
the rittmaister and arranges matters
with him. The rittmaister sees him
and his cart load Of books safely across
the border and directs him to some
small town near the frontier. Then
the rittmaister raises the alarm and
calls his men to horse, and they start
or in pursuit of an imaginary SNUG
gler in another direction, firing into
the air to show their zeal in the dis
charge of their duties. "a ruble on
either eye and ruble across the mouth"
says Mr.. Joubert, will effectually pre-
vent the Russian official from seeing
or speaking" ..#

good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It not only cures colds
and grip effectually and permanently,
but prevents these diseases from re-
sulting in pneumonia. tits also GER
tain cure for Group. Whooping cough
is not dangerous when this remedy is
given. It contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may he given as
COL fidently to baby as to an adult. 1t
is also pleasant to take. When all of
these facts are taken into consideration

willing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by all druggists.

CHOKING CAT ARRH CURED.
MIR. CasweII Says, "Hyomei scured
Me"-Your Money Back If 1t
Does Not Cure You,


"Use Hyomel and be cured of ca
tarrh," is what all who have tried 1T for
that disease say to their friends.
0 S, Caswel1 of North Middleboro,
Mass. writes: Hyomei has relieved
me from a choking catarrhal trouble
and cleared my head. I am glad to
recommend it to my friends"
It Ia the easiest thing in the world
to stop catarrh or catarrhal cold at its
beginning If you use Hyomei. just
breathe the health.giving, balsamic air
for afew minutes and your catarrh will
be cured.
In this and neighboring towns, there
are hundreds that can testify to the re-
markable powers of Hyomei to cure ca
tarrh. Many of the staunchest friends
of this remedy began it's use with little
hope that they would be cured, but as
j. G, Dod on offered to refund the
money If it did not benefit, they decided
to try it on that plan, and were soon
restored to health.
