Wreck Attempted.

Unknown parties maliciously at
tempted to wreck a Cotton Belt train
by obstructing the track, this side Of
Penrose. the latter part Of last week.
A large block Of iron. weighing per-
haps more than $50 pounds was placed 4
on the track between the cross ties
and long iron rod was thrust through
hole In the iron and left with the
ends projecting across the rails.
The first train to encounter the OBJ
stacle was an early morning through
freight. The engineer discovered the
obstruction too late to stop his train
until the engine and several cars pass
ed over 1t. The engine passed safely
ovor but two cars were derailed. The
section crews from this city. Fair
Oaks and Hunter were called to the
scene and succeeded In clearing the
track In few hours.
1t is thought by some that the trap
was set for the early passenger but
that train being late. the through
freight was given the right Of way.
There is no telling the damage that
might have been done If the passenger
had been on time and run upon the
obstruction.
There Is yet no clue to the parties
guilty Of tie offense.

ILLNESS OF MENELIK.
Trouble Expected in Abyssinia OOer
the Succession.

Rome, Dec 1.-The situation IN Abyssinia. due
to the serious illness of King Menelik and the
disturbances which are likely in the struggle for
the succession, renders more difficult the accept
ance and enforcement OF the AnglO-Franco-
italian convention concluded with Abysstnia in
London last summer. the ratification Of which
MeneIk has continually postponed.
Anxiety is felt here for the safety OF the Euro

Deputy Martini, who IS IN Rome and
who recently visited Addis-Abeba, speaking to-
day Of the succession TO the Abyssinian throne,
said:
The heir Is a boy ten years old, called Jjsu. a
son Of Meneliks daughter, who was married TO
Ras Michael He will be supported by his father,
but will be opposed by the other candidates in
cIuding Degiac Schium who is twenty years
old and a son Of the recently deceased Ras Man
gasca.
The statements made by Signor Martini do not
agree with the Almanach de Gotha. Accord
ing TO it, Menelik's daughter Princess Ouizero
Zeodita, who was born in 1876. was first married
to Ras Area Sellassie. who died in 1SsS- In
1901 the princess was married TO Ras Gougsa,

Miss Celia NJ. Schuyler, 1903 Dillon St, St
Louis, No, writes:
For two years I have been in very poor
health. I suffered with indigestion and stomach
catarrh, which robbed of my vitality.
"I became nervous, and it seemed that nothing
could lift me out of this condition.
"A friend suggested that try Peruna. Before
had taken four bottles my appetite increased
and my food no longer oppressed me, neither did
l cough.
In twelve weeks I was completely restored to
health. I thank you for what Peruna has done
for me-
More Peruna is sold because people who have
taken 1t recommend it to their friends than from
all other causes combined When any one takes
a bottle of Peruna they usually recommend 1t TO
a neighbOr.
Unless u remedy comes up fully to what is
claimed for it in advertisement, the one who
is persuaded to buy it will not buy again, nor
will he recommend 1t to his friends II is be-
cause Peruna does perform all that is claimed
for it that constrains friend to recommend it to

FOUR YEARS FOR TOIGT.
Many Wished to attend Trial Of
COepenick RObber.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-Wilhelm Voigt, made notorious
in Germany as Captain Won Coepenick." owing
to his bold robbery of the treasury Of Coepenick
on October 16, with the assistance of q number
of soldiers whom he had imposed upon, was tried
to-day and sentenced to four years fnlprison-
Inent and costs Applications for tickets for
admission to the courtroom were received from
all over Germany and even from foreign coun-
tries Comparatively few of the applications
could be granted, as the courtroom was small
and many officers and newspaper correspondents
occupied seats in it. Much amusement was
caused when nine grenadiers, in strict military
order, marched into the room as witnesses
against the prisoner.
Volgt answered the judges questions unre
servedIy narrating the history Of his life with
out dramatic establishment He told straight
forward story OF the Coepenick affair. An In
teresting fact brought out was that Vogt, years
ago. made use of an expression which led to his
capture. having remarked to a fellow prisoner
while in the penitentiary, where he was under
going previous sentence; With few soldiers
one could do a fine job.
This prisoner, after hearing of the Coepenick
affair, informed the police Of Voigts remark
It also developed that Votgt, as an eX-conV1ct,
found 1t impossible to find a fixed abode or reg
uIar work The police expelled him from town
after town, and he had been ordered to leave
Berlin Just before he robbed the treasury or
Coepeuick. but he succeeded in eluding the police
and remaining In this city.
The indictment included four countS-nameiy,
aggravated forgery, publicly depriv1ng another
OF liberty. fraud and wearing a military UNIFORM
without authority.
