TIE story is told i'm the Chicago
Chronicle of a union trooper who had
observed the distant approach along
the highway of a single rider in
gray. Having seen him first, he de
termined to make him a prisoner, and
with that purpose hid his horse in
nearby thicket and took post be-
hind the great tree. AS the confed-
crate approached the union man
stepped quickly out, and, covering
him with his carbine, ordered him
to halt and dismount, a prisoner. But
the gray trooper was not to be 50
easily taken. He was jeff Lewis, of
Mosby's rangers, one of the quickest
and most expert pistol shots in that
redoubtable body of fighters. Instead
of surrendering, he drew both his
revolvers, and fired from the hip, in
the fashion of "snap shooters" The
union soldier fell dead, not having
even discharged his weapon 1t was
found that he was a German belong
ing to an Illinois regiment
This incident was only such as
very often occurred during the war,
and seemed to possess no especial fea-
lures to mark 1t as different from
hundreds that happened and We're
soon forgotten in the place of their
occurrence But in this instance

The Ideal Family Laxative.

Is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always;
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose it's effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is a laxative on the
market that is SO carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
century and are for sale everywhere.

GAS USED UNDER LIME kILNs.
Innovation by Connecticut Company
10 Success.

The New England Lime company.
OF Winstead. Conn. asserts that 1t is
the first to introduce gas as fuel for
limo burning. The method is pro-
nounced an entire success. The grow
ing scarcity OF wood fuel led to the
discovery of gas as substitute for
wood. and the company no longer con-
siders the gas method an experiment.
The efficacy and reliability of gas
have been demonstrated beyond a
doubt. Had it been impossible to find
substitute for wood. said a member
of the company. 1t would have meant
the restriction and perhaps the total
abandonment of the business. Gas
fires are absolutely clean at all times
no clinkers and no cinders-and the
limo produced Is much whittier than
that burned by wood. Gas also pro-
duces a more intense heat, and conse-
quently increases the capacity OF the
kilns. The daily output at the COM
pany's kilns is increased from 80 bar.
rels per kiln to 100 barrels. or total
of TOO barrels daily.

How Emperor William 10 Battling
Against a Dangerous Heredlty.

Against dangerous Heredlty.
Emperor Williams father died of cancer
of the throat.
Emperor William himself had infantile
paralysis, and has had to struggle with
many infirmities.
1t has been whispered that he himself
is troubled with the same malady which
carried off his father. Royal blood is un-
fortunately most generally deteriorated
blood. Emperor William knows this as
well as anybody, and is doing his best to
eradicate the bad blood from himself and
his family by the adoption of simple life
principles.
Through the visit of a countryman of
his to Battle Creek, Michigan, while in
this country, visiting the Worlds Fair in
Chicago in 1893, Emperor William became
acquainted with the Battle Greek idea of
simple living and has to a large extent
adopted the methods in his family His
wife and children live the simple life and
take Battle Creek light baths. Their
uncle, King Edward, also has these baths
installed in his Windsor and Buckingham
Palaces for the use of himself and Queen
Alexandra.

oIvEs BABIES BANK ACCOUNTS
Maine Man Starts One for Every
Child Born In His Town.

The financial world has surely not
hitherto had much startling news to
chronicle of Thomas DInsmore, Of Pal
ermo. Kennebec county, Maine, says
the American Banker. That gentle
man has not surprised the commu-
nifty into throes OF admiration by the
establishment OF hero funds nor the
foundation of any libraries. He has
not been identified with any huge cor
poration engaged in cornering the
earth, for the earth's good. no doubt,
nor has he purchased highly priced
works of art and presented them to
an ungrateful country that insists
upon his paying duty on the gifts.
But in a way Mr.. Dinsmore seems
to have cornered all the praise and
gratitude in his locality and he GER
tainly has monopoly in his particu-
lar industry.
At present he is engaged busily in
presenting new bankbooks showing a
five dollar deposit to each new baby
which arrives In his community. 1t
, will be seen at once that this Is not
only excellent for the banks and fine
for the babies. but 1t will in all like
lihood prevent any appreciable tend
ency toward race suicide.
Some time ago Mr. Dinsmore be-
gan the practice of presenting every
school graduate with a new handbook
and one dollar. The good work of this
gentleman is necessarily limited. but
, he has sounded the depths of the coun-
try's need Not by railing against
capital and capitalists nor preaching
equality and the equal distribution of
property will the evil OF huge
money concentration be remedied. By
teaching foresight and judicious saw
ing to the children and intoxicating a
spirit of desire of possession in the
beginning of their education he will
do more toward increasing the aver
age wealth of the people than any
other project yet put forth.
Massachusetts, fairly conservative
state, calculates that its people save
on an average 33 cents a week
each. The absurdity of such a figure
in the face of the extremely high rate
of wages is patent to every sensible
person. 1t is high time that the cit
izens of the country began to realize
tHdt Hore econoiny, tnrllt ana lnuuS-
try on their part would change the
conditions which they consider a dan

ton of the subject will show that
these qualities are what made the
other mans fortune for the most part
Therefore, of vital use to the mental,
moral and financial condition of the
coming generation is the good work

children. Teach them that handbook

the tendency to squander the whole

THE DEPOT SITUATION.

We are frequently asked
whether the bill Representative
Foster succeeded IN getting
through the House, requiring the
Southern to build a new depot at
Lancaster, ever passed the Sen.
ate. The fate of the measure
has already been published in
The News, but the fact has evi-
dently been overlooked by a
number of our readers.
Yes, the bill passed both
houses, but, through the South
ern's influence, it was amended
in the Senate so as to allow the
raiIroad company until the first
OF next January to comply with
its provisions. In other words.
Lancaster must be content to
put up with the Southern'6 mis-
cradle depot facilities here for
the remainder Of this year at
least, unless the company sees
fit to voluntarily make some i'm.
provement in the meantime,
which, in the interest of common
decency and humanity, it should
do.

here at Z 55, and he found condi
tions there lust as they have
been represented to be by The
News. He did not expect, of
course, to see a new depot or
any substantial repairs on the
old dilapidated one. but he did
expect to see some improvement
in the matter of conveniences
and accommodations for the
benefit of the travelling public.
He had heard, for instance, that
lamps were burned without
shades or chimneys. In the de-
partment for white passengers
one lone lamp without chimney
was dImly burning. A person
could scarcely be distinguished
in the room and the smoke from
the shadeless lamp was so often
sive that ladies and others wait
ing on the train had to stand
outside in the dark on the mar
row platform. A lamp on a
post between the depot and the
track had been lighted, but it
went out before the arrival of
the train. Fortunately for the
waiting crowd a hotel porter
came up with lighted lantern
just before the train rolled in -,
which enabled them to see where
they were Sat"
