Panther Killed.

Farrandsville, village three miles
west OF Lock Haven, Pa, is in fever
of excitement over the killing of a
panther that measured twelve feet in
length. That section is so overrun with
bears and other wild animals that the
employees of Young's c'gar fact ,ry have
been carrying guns to and from work as
a matter OF protection. Herbert Cohn
and Bert Sellers in going to work early
Thursday morning encountered a large
and hungry panther, which attacked
them in the highway. Dropping their
dinner pals, the men ran toward the
factory. They we're met by h. W..
Johnson and Robert Sebring, who were
starting on bear hunt and were heavily
armed. Fastening to the spot with
their winchesters cooked, they found the
panther deyouring the mems dinners.
A fusilade of shots rang, and with q
yelP the panther fell over dead with
bullet through its heart.

Made 1O5 Miles an Hour

Once again the mail trains of the New
York Central Railroad have made a
red-letter mark in railway history.
Robert Butler6eld, engine er of No. 81,
the mail express from Alb any to New
York, did the whole distance Of i43
miles between the two!cities in 142 min
utes, a fraction over a mile a minute,
making an average of 60 miles an hour.
II was on Thursday, October 13, that
the mail train, consisting Of six cars,
made its record. Drawn by engine No.
299S, the train left Albany hour and
10 minutes behind the schedule time.
To land the mails for the west Butter
field had to make up all of this lost time.
Starting down the Hudson Valley at a
steady mile-a-mlnute clip until reach.
ing Tivoli, he ran the ABB miles to
Barrytown in three minutes, OF 81 miles
an hour. His ambition thus whetted,
he let out another notch, and the 5.4g
miles between Rhineciff and Staatsburg
were finished in four minutes, or 80 miles
an hour. The engine had justa little mite
in reserve, but Butterfield reserved bis
final effort for the straight run OF S.oi
miles between Croton and Ossining, and
the engine, let out to the extreme limit,
flew the distance at l05 miles an hour,
the distance being covered in two minutes.
When the train reached the Grand Cen
trail all of the lost time, save seven miu-
utes had been regained.

MEDICINAL.

Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the propTietors and makers OF
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 IN
legal money for any case OF Leucorrnea,
Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling OF
Womb. which they cannot cure. All they
ask is a fair and reasonable trial Of their
means of cure.
Very often married woman or young
girl does not know who to turn to for ad-
vice in circumstances where she dislikes to
talk with the family physician about deli
cate matters. Al such times write to DR..
r. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician TO
the Iuvalids Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo ~ Y, for free consultation and
advice, and the same will be held as sa-
credly confidential. II is foolish to consult
women friends or persons without medical
training.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tains no alcohol, is entirely vegetable aud
was the first exclusively woman's tonic on
the market--it has sold more largely in
the past third OF a century than any other
medicine for women
All other compounds intended for women
only are made with alcohol, or alcohol is a
large component-this alcohol Injuries the
nerves. The little red corpuscles of the
blood are shrunken by alcohol. All such
compounds, therefore, do harm.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets invigorate
the stomach, liver and bowels. Use them
with the "Favorite Prescription" when
pill is required. One is laxative, two,
mild cathartic.

Mr.. Bryan in West virginia.

Hon. w. J. Bryan began his two days
campaign in West Virginia for the ma
tional democratic ticket in Parkersburg,
w. Va. yesterday afternoon. Henry
G. Davis, who has been waiting in Parkers
burg since Thursday to welcome the Ne
brsskan, was the first to extend his hand
as Mr.. Bryan alighted from the train at
$3.50 o'clock.
During Mr.. Bryan's speech OF an
hours duration Mr.. Davis sat behind
him on a secOnd-story porticO, which
overlooked as many people as could com
mand earshot of the strong oratorlca
powers for which Mr.. Bryan is celebrat-
ed. When the speech was concluded
MIR. Davis faced the audience, but merely
acknowledged their plaudits andimodest-
ly declared that no man could speak after
Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Davis private car "Graceland, q"
ia which the candidate has been touring
the country, was placed at the disposal
of Mr.. Bryan. He will occupy it on his
journeys in the State, which included
speeches at Huntington last night and
Charleston tomorrow night. The car
will take him to Wheeling tomorrow,
from which place he will plunge into a
speech. making tour of Ohio. Mr.. Davis
took the regular train for his home in
Elkins last night.
Iu his speech Mr.. Bryan stood for the
principles of government and democracy
on which he made his two campaigns Of
1896 and 1900. He declared with en-
phasis that be had given up nothing OF
these beliefs, for that the present demo-
cratic platform gave him more of them
than any other platform. Imperialism
received more attention than any other
subject touched upon. Speaker Cannon,
he said, was referring to the assistance
Bryan had rendered in securing the
ratification of the Spanish peace treaty.
In this reference be said Mr.. Cannon
was entirely overlooking the amendm ent
which Mr.. Bryan had also supported,
placing the Filipinos on exactly the
same basis as the Cubans. He had
been asked how, as believer In silver,
he could vote for candidate who be-
lieved in gold. His answer had been
weighed in the balance with the questions
that have arisen within the last few years
oh uman rights and the declaration
of independence make the money question
seem small and insignificant. In elimi-
mating all but the two principal Politi-
cal parties, Mr.. Bryan said: Zone OF
two men will be President. 1t will be
Parker or Roosevelt If | did not do
what could to help Parker would be
helping Roosevelt, and am not willing
to take the responsibility of tour years
more Of Roosevelt. Ny main concern
in this campaign is that every man who
voted for me shall vote for Parker and
Davis. Let us give to Parker and Davis
all the votes that we're given TO me. |
tried to save this country from imperial
ism, and failed. / am now going to
help Parker save it. 1t will be my vic
tory and yours and the victory of all the
people, and there is glory enough for all
of us in such a victory"

COMMISSIONERS WANT
SQUARE DEAL IN COURT
Will Urge New Law Requiring Credit
of Half the Revenue of Court
of Appeals.

The District wants TO have a square
dear in certain money matters 1t
thinks 1t is paying for more than it
gets.
Following a recommendation Of Audi
tor Garrison. the District Commissioners
will ask the Chief Justice OF the Dis
trict Court of Appeals TO recommend in
his estimates to Congress for the next
fiscal year, an amendment TO existing
laws. providing that the fees collected
by the clerk of the Court OF Appeals be
deposited in the Treasury, either who'll
or one-haIf to the credit Of the reve-
nues Of the District OF Columbia.
In calling this matter to the attention
of the Chief Justice of the Court Of
Appeals. the Commissioners will men
ton that one-half OF the sal
aries and expenses OF that court have
been paid from the revenues
Of the District. as provided in the or
ganic act and in the respective appro-
priatiou acts. At present, under the
construction placed upon the law. al
fees collected by the Clerk Of the Court
of Appeals have been and are deposited
in the Treasury wholly 10 the credit Of
the United States.
II is mentioned by the Commissioners
thai all fees. penalties. costs, and for
FIXTURES collected in the Police Court
are deposited in the Treasury wholly
TO the credit Of the District. and under
the code all fees received by the jus
tees Of the peace are deposited 20 the
credit of the District.
The rule adopted in the case Of these
courts, Il is argued, seems 10 be pre-
cedent for similar disposition OF fees in
the Court OF Appeals The fees re
ceived I'm the Court of Appeals amount
to something like 5000 annually
