The Mystery of a Human Arm.

Some small boys at Lewiston
discovered puppy gnawing on
a human arm at the dance pavil-
ion in the Schleischer park Mon
day and the matter was at once
reported to the police. Doctors
examined the arm and decided it
had formerly belonged to a wo-
man but how long it had been
since it was removed could not
be decided. 1t was part of the
forearm and appeared to have
been cut off by some one unused
to surgery as a coarse saw had
been used to saw the bone.
People are quite excited over the
find and a thorough search of
the locality has been made but
no further trace of the body has
been discovered.
LATER. The supposed wom-
ans arm has since been recog-
nized as the fore paw of a cou-
gar from which the skin had
been removed. The cougar had
been shot by an Orofno man and
the skin, with fore leg attached,
taken to Lewiston to collect the
bounty.

The village board at it's meet
ing Monday night considered the

several ways and it will probably
be several weeks before changes
can be made to satisfy the board
as to its being in shape for con-

Probably Caused as Result of His Own Debauch and
 CareleSsnesS.
cORoNER's JURY
 GETS EVIDENCE
To the Effect That Dead Man Was Last Awake in lllfated House, and Probably Caused the Conflagration.

That William Wyman, the unfortun- ate victim of the confiagration that de stroyed the William J. Stack property on the morning of the 18th. came to his death as the result of his own in toxication was brought out at the in quest held before Coroner Murphy yes terday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
 The testimony introduced at the inquest. wHa..i,e rAeager in the details, leaves no doubt that the man came hcme drunk and in some manner or other while in his maudlin condition caused the fire which destroyed the Stack home and made his own funeral pyre. Whether he overturned a light ed lamp or dropped a burning match will never be known.
 wyman was a Finiander. who came to Bisbee but a few weeks ago, and his name was known to but few peo- pie and to none of the inhabitants of the ill-fated house. He had DO rela- lives, so far as has been learned, in this country. and further than inar ne was a native of Finland. nothing has yet been brought out. The dead man was a miner, and as soon as he had received his pay for his work started out with a friend to have spree. His terrible death was the result.
 Not till after the firemen had depart ed and the crowd had dispersea was it known that the body of a man re- mained in the ruins. It was only when Stack and few friends who remain cd to inspect the ruins went into the room occupied by the strange miner for the purpose of extinguishing a snouldering blaze, that the sickening spectacle met their eyes. The man lay on the floor of his room, his scant clothing still smouidering and the ter rible stench of his burned and burn ing flesh permeating the placc. The small sum of sS was found beside him probably all that was left to the poor fellow after he had made the round Of the resorts.
 Wyman was of a reticent nature, and made but few friends, even among his own coutrymen, during his short residence in the camp.
 The remains were placed in charge of Undertaken Robert Hennessy and irterment took place as soon as pos sible after the inquest
 The coroner's jury, composed of H E. Pyle, foreman James Martin, Thomas Callaghan, Joseph McLaugh lin. NJ P. Benton, Frank Clemmons and George Mars. brought in verdict to the effect that the deceased "came to his death by being burned to death and exhoaerated any persons iron blame.

SPIRIT WILL IS
 DECLARED TO BE VOID

LEROY, H., May 12.-The spirit will of James T. Crumbaugh was set aside by verdict returned in court today after trial that has interested all this part of the state. Crumbaugh, a retired banker, died in March, 1895, leaving an estate of s250,000. Under his will 1.160 acres of land were left to erect and maintain a spiritualist church and public library in Leroy. A bill in chancery was filed in Nc Lean County by the heirs to set aside the will. The bill charged that Crum- baugh was insane and subject to un- due influence by, people and spirits.
 The case was called for trial in the Circuit Court at Bloomington, and a witness testified for the defense that Crumbaugh was capable of transacting ordinary business. The testimony for the complainants showed that Crum- baugh believed that spirits of the de parted, returning to earth, communi- cated and associated with him and di- rected him in his affairs; that before he made his will spirits kept him out of danger. A son of Crumbaugh died when six weeks old. A spirit picture of this son kept by Crumbaugh shows a man six feet tall. weighing 100 pounds. with brown mustache. This was Crumbaugh's spiritual guide.

DRUNK IN COLORADO
 MUST NOT BE HANGED

DENVER. May 12.-Patrick Bren- nan of Leadville escaped the hang. mans moose today when the state Su. preme Court decided that a drunken man should not be held responsible for the degree of his crime. The de. cision. which reverses the lower court and orders a new trial, enunciated a principle new in judicial practice in this state, that ''the degree of the crime depends upon whether the kill ing was premeiitated and the ques- ton of drunkenness becomes material in determining whether the person was capable of reconciliation" Bren- nan killed Sarah Lowney, whom he was to have married. because an cid suitor reappeared. The lower court refused to make allowance for his in toxicaticn.

BABY COVERED WITH SORES.
Would Scratch and Tear the Flesh Un-
less Hands Were Tied-"Would
Have Died But for Cuticura."

"My little son, when about a year
and half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. l had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come on
his arms, then on other parts of his
body, and then one came on his chest,
worse than the others Then | called
another physician. Still he grew
worse. At the end of about year
and half of suffering he grew so bad
had to tie his hands in cloths at
night to keep him from scratching the
sores and tearing the flesh. He got to
be mere skeleton, and was hardly
able to walk. My aunt advised me to
try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. l
sent to the drug store and got cake
of the Soap and box of the ONT
ment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since. He is now strong and healthy,
and l can sincerely say that only for
your most wonderful remedies my
precious child would have died from
those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert

THE BEDROOM SMELL.
It Is Superstitious to Dread "Nighr
Air"-Sleeping Rooms Must Be
Thoroughly Ventilated.

bedrooms having no outside ventila-
ton are not fit for human habita-
lions, but in closely packed cities,
they are often found. No one who
passes the hour of darkness in such
foul, pestilential holes can hope for
health. A constant supply of fresh,
clean air is necessity for the sleep
Ing room, and stationary washstand
in bedroom is often a source OF
danger because, with the best of care,
sewer gas at times leaks through the
pipes and loads the atmosphere. II
one sleep with open doors and win
dOws, this can in a measure be es-
capped, but with every avenue of ven
tilation closed, the health must suf-,
fer seriously.
In country homes not having pipes,
the supply of fresh air is just as nec7
essary. The might air. so dreaded
by some, is never as heavily laden
with poison as that which is breathed
over and over and over in close con-
fines. Even the bed-clothing becomes
saturated and tainted, and carpets,
|
hold the poison, just as they do the
smells from the kitchen or from cigar
smoking, and need frequent sunnings
and washings in order to purify them
from the smell" The idea of hav-
ing exclusively wooden bed-clOthing Is
that exhalatlons of the body may es-
cape ii the same way that the gas
does, and wooden clothing being pOr
Gus, permits the escape of these exuda
tons, while cotton, or linen absorbs
with the result that an unpleasant
odor is often very noticeable abou
the bedroom in the morning. # thu
room and contents are not ventilated
at least during the day, this smell
becomes permanent, clinging even II
the clothing worn by the person oc
cupying the room. One who Is &C
customed to sleeping in well ven
tilate1 room finds it very difficult t.
, occupy a room that is at all "close.

She Had a Right to Preach.

Woman's Unborn right to preach has
been recognized by Bishop Talbot, of
Pennsylvania A skirted itinerant ex.
FOUNDER Of the gospel used to gather
crowd every Sunday within sight of
the bishops cathedral, and many of
his flock were seen lingering under the
spell. One Of the vestrymen, pomp-
GUS and prosy banker, went to the
bishop to demonstrate. He wanted
something done to stop the preaching
near the cathedral. He thought the
mayor would help them out if the
bishop were to appeal to him. This
thing of unmarried women preaching
around in crowd of men is scandal
GUS and should be stopped" said the
banker. ooh, never mind" said the
bishop, easily; "she cannot hurt me.
Let her preach. She must exhort
somebody, and, you see, she has no
husband. l warrant Mrs. gives
you many a good sermon in the retire
ment of your home. All women like
to preach"

USE OF WINDOW BOXES.
Vines Are Preferable, But Where

The use OF window boxes is not to

are effective in relieving the monotony
of otherwise bare windows and YER

to grow the hardy types OF climbers
in the ground, they will be found far
superior to boxes planted in the Win

DU BIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food
Coffee because ordinary coffee dis
agreed with her and her husband. She
writes:
ely husband was sick for three
years with catarrh Of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
II had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so / could not attend to
my housework-both of us using cof-
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful
zone morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
Of our trouble and advised Postum.
I took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
"But / took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used cup of
it since. You should have seen the
change in us, and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after | began Pos
tum. My children love it and it does
them good, which can't be said OF
coffee.
ga Lady visited us who was always
half sick. / told her I'd make her a
cup of Postum. She said it was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
it, boiling it thoroughly for 15 min
utes, and when done she said 1t was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the
flavor and food quality" Name given
