GENERAL NEWS.

William ]. Reid, alias L. o. Hoffman,
who is charged with swindling 80 hotels
in various parts of the country out of
$40, 900. and who was sentenced to 10
years Imprisonment, broke jail at Spring
field, Mass, Sunday, under remarkable
circumstances. In his escape he unlocked
nine doors. and sawed three chains, vis-
tied six different rooms of the county
jail, passed in front of watchers and
finally climbed an Is foot wall. This
was accomplished early but he was not
missed until seven o'clock. He had been
practically bedridden for three months
and was reported to be too weak to
move without crutch. In order to get
through the many doors he must have
used a frst-class hacksaw and keys that
perfectly fitted the locks, yet there is not
the slightest clue to the manner in which
he obtained these articles. While he was
working his way out be broke into vari-
Gus rooms and shops to obtain a suit of
clothes, some tools and ladder to
scale the prison wall. He was
seen Immediately outside the jail but
not aiterward. Reid was arrested in
San Francisco under sensational cir
cumstances in June, 1902, and after a
legal battle was brought to Springfield,
where he was sentenced for hotel swind-

.LOCOMOTOR kTAX|A
Convincing Proof That This Dread
Nervous Disease Has at Last
Yielded to Medical Skill.

The most respondent sufferer from
locomotor ataxia, even though beyond
the reach Of ordinary treatment, will
find new hope of life and health in the
cure of Miss Phebe Eft Enos, of Oneonta,
N. Y. Coming so closely upon other
wonderful cures effected by the same
means it offers convincing proof that
this dread disease has at last been mas
tered.
ssMy trouble began six years ago with
numbness in my feet, % says Miss Enos,
"and the numbness spread until both
limbs were affected. I followed faith
fully the treatment prescribed by the
best doctor in Oneonta but kept getting
worse. Finally he told nae that had
locomotor ataxia and that the most he
could do was to make me comfortable.
I would never be active again.
This was discouraging but kept on
with the treatment. The pain in my
limbs was so intense that I could get to
sleep only by using chloroform hniment.
By this time I could not rise from my
chair without being pulled up by the
hands couldn't walk without a cane,
and couldn't walk in the dark at all.
The disease spread through my system

People learned of two cases Of loco
motor ataxia that these pills had cured
and tried them at once. In five weeks
I noticed less pain and found that I
could get sleep naturally. I followed
directions closely and gradually got on
my feet, could walk without cane and
noticed nothing but a little dragging Of
my right foot.
"One day when I was out, I saw my
doctor. He was greatly surprised and
exclaimed: you certainly are better.
What has done it? If you had not got
better you could not have raised hand
or foot by now

The Tone of Machinery.

Engineers judge Of the condition of
their machinery by the tone it gives
out while running. Every engine,
whether stationary or locomotive, has
a particular tone of it's own. The en-
gineer becomes accustomed to that,
and any departure from it at once eX-
cites a suspicion that all is not right.
The engineer may not know what is
the matter. He may have no ear for
music, but the change in the tone of
his machine will be instantly percepti-
BILE, will be instantly recognized and
will start him on an immediate investi-
cation.

Umbrellas and Religious Services.

Umbrellas have always been init
mately associated with religious serv-
ices in Catholic churches. They were
introduced in the church services of the
Byzantine church, are borne over the
host in procession and form part of the
pontifical regalia as well as that of a
cardinal It is quite likely that the car
dinars hat is derived from the UNI
brella.
In italian heraldry a vermilion um-
brella in a field argent signifies domin-

at least one drawing of an Anglo-SaXon
gentleman whose servant shades him

Danger Signal.

Everyone knows that cough is the
danger signal of consumption, and yet
some will go carelessly on in the danger
Gus way, although the signal bell is con-
tinually sounding the alarm.
Downs Elixir is the safe and only ref
uge when a cough has become at all
severe. Downs Elixir will cure any
cough, cold or throat trouble, and even
consumption has many times been cured
by its timely use. Do not neglect a
cough, and especially at this season of
the year. Get Downs Elixir at any
drug store.

Electricity Among the Japanese.

The japanese understood electricity
as an attractive force, of which they
were very secret. The Greeks and Ro-
mans also knew something of the mag
net as an attractive force known to
modern science as an electrical attrac-
ton, something like the loadstone of
the Chinese. They are supposed to be
ignorant of its popularity, though in
their secret records there are mentions
of sacred forces which none but God
knew and must not be tempered with
by man.
