Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men

treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alc0-
hOlic beverages, or by too close connhe-

These are: Golden Seal root, Queens

The medicinal principles residing in these

Aged Lawyer Tortured.

Henry Blackmsn Plumb, the 77.Year-
old lawyer and historian of Warrior Run
near Wilkesbsrre, Pa, who was tortured
bv burglars in the effort to force him 10
reveal the supposed hiding place OF his
money, is recovering.
Two OF his ribs were broken and the
soles of his feet burned, while his wife,
bound and helpless, was compelled to
lie on the floor near and see him tortured.
Despite the efforts of several detectives
no clew of the five ma .ked men who
committed the outrage has been found.
The house is some distance from the
nearest ueighbor, and the burglars Hroke
In the back door. Plumb and his wife
we're aroused by the crash. He seized
an old musket which had not been dis
charged in S5 years snd reached the top
of the stairs as the five burglars appeared
at the bottom.
"You halt, or I'll shoot - he shouted.
Without answering, the men sprang up
the steps. evidently not seeing The mus
ket. Plumb, aiming full at them, twice
pulled the trigger, but the charge failed
TO explode and the next moment he had
been overpOwered and buried to the
floor, the fall breaking two ribs.
Two of the burglars held him and the
other three overpowered, gagged and
bound Mrs. Plumb with the strips iuto
which they tore the bed sheets.
The burglars found gold watch aud
$35, all the money that Plumb had in
the house, but they were not salts
fed Thinking he had more hidden.
they threatened to kill him il he did not
tell where the money was. He assured
them they had all.
"Well make you tell" one of them
cried, and the old man was thrown
upon chair bound to it, and then a
lamp flame was applied to his feet. 1t
scorched the flesh aud caused excruciating
agony.
He protested that he had no more
money, aud that they might torture him
until he was dead, but they would find
no more. But they we're heartless. Both
feet were burned, aud they did not desist
until the old man swOOned.
As they were leaving one ofthe burg
lars, with some little compassion, bent
over Mrs. Plumb aud said : "Pll tele-
phone for a doctor to come" but no
medical man showed up.
1t was two hours before Plumb re-
gained consciousness and was able to un-
do his bonds. Then he released his
wife and they summoned help.

Jubilee over Kings Wedding.

Spain is preparing for rejoicing on
magnificent scale on the occasion OF the
marriage of King Alfonso ID Princess
Ena of Baltenberg. Premier Moret an
nounced Saturday that some of the fea-
lures Of the early programme have been
changed, but the essential features re-
main. The marriage will take place in
Madrid, May 81 in the Church OF San
JerOnimO, at ii a. m. The Princess
will enter Spain May "a, being met at
the frontier by the king, the ministers
and the royal guard, who will escort her
to the Pardo Palace
1he foreign ENJOYS and princes will
begin t. arrive about the same time.
The solemn ceremony of signing the
marriage contract will take place at the
Pardo Palace May 80.
The city will be given over to festivals
for fortnight before and after the we'd
ding. The fetes will include gala per-
formances, military reviews, parade
of representatives of the Spanish provin-
ces in typical costumes, a royal bullhght,
balls and receptions. Great public in
terest is taken in the preparations.
The king and his bride will remain
in Madrid eight days after the marriage
in order to participate in the festivities.
They will then spend their honeymoon
at La Granjs Palace, later going to San
Sebastian.
The fact that an English princess is
to become queen of Spain is not regarded
as having any political significance, al
though the increased intimacy between
King Edward and King Alfonso and the
fact that the policies of Great Britain
and Spain have recently followed similar
lines are considered TO be evidence that
the marriage is strengthening political
relations which for time were strained.
The marriage is popular with all classes
in Spain.
The Danish envoy and brilliant suite
arrived today to represent Denmark
al the wedding, being the first OF the
foreign delegations to reach Madrid.

we're confronted by body in a long
coat hanging from nail, the feet touch
ing the floor. Decomposition Of the
face made positive identification difficult
but the features resembled those OF Ga
pon and the clothing cofresponded with
that worn by The missing labor leader.
AS The usual symptoms of strangula-
ton were absent, il is coDjectured that
the man was killed elsewhere and his
body brought to The villa on the night
of April 10. This would agree with
the date of the execution Of GapOn given
in information of the secret police and
with the death sentence of the former
priest as announced in recent dispatches
from Berlin.

Father Gapon's Remains /?

The mystery of the fate Of Father
GapOn apparently was cleared up yester-
day by the discovery of q corpse, which
has almost positively been identified as
that of the former priest, hanging in
the upper chamber of lonely villa in
the summer suburb of Ozerki, Finland.
The villa was rented April s for the

known ran from st. Petersburg, who,
after visiting the house several times in
company with workman, disappeared

The proprietress OF the villa, alarmed
