graph and telephone wire stretched be-
tween Aguascalientes and this city. The
new wire will be used both for the tele
graph service and for the telegraphone

these instruments is now. and for some
time has been in use on the Mexican Cen

Deputy Sheriff ]. r. Lillard attempted
yesterday to arrest two men classed as
Migrants. one about twenty years old, who
wore the uniform of a marine. The other
man was said to be from Brunswick, Md.
Deputy Lizard attempted to take the
Brunswick man into custody. but he ran.
Meanwhile the other escaped Mr. Lii
lard scooted home for his gun, and upon
his return discovered the Brunswick man
going at a ymles-an-hour clip up
the railroad. Deputy Lillard drew his
gun and fired hoping to bring him to
time, but his speed seemed to increase
with that of a passenger train approach
ing and at last report the fugitive left
the train behind by the time he reached
Buck Lodge, a little station one mile west
of Boyds. Deputy Lillard then sought
the marine who, at the second fire of the
Lillard howitzer. headed toward Wash
ington. The chase and battery work drew
a large crowd.

Revenue Cutter Aids Schooner.

The revenue cutter Apache employed in
winter cruising on Chesapeake bay under
orders to look out for V ssels in distress
and to give aid, was of service to the
bay schooner Escort recently. According
to reports received from the ship, which
yesterday returned to Baltimore for coal
and provisions, the schooner was found
ashore in the Piankitank river a tributary
of Chesapeake bay. and was floated after
considerable difficulty by the crew of the
revenue cutter.
The Escort. while on her way from Mil
ford Haven to Cape Charles with d cargo
of oysters, was caught in a northeast
gale, and in running into the Pankitank
for safety was blown ashore where the
Apache found her. The schooner which
halls from Norfolk. is we'll known at this
port. She was not injured by going
ashore.

ISAAC STEPHENSON

From Wisconsin.
HAS SERVED IN THE HOUSE
But That Was Eighteen Years
Ago.
BROTHER SAM OF MICHIGAN
Was Also in the House, But Never
Reached the Senate-Interest-
ing Story of the Two.
BROTHER SAM OF MICHIGAN

The return of United States Senator
Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin to public
life at the capital comes eighteen years
after his retirement from the House Of
Representatives, in which he had served
with success for three terms. 1t follows
by a few months the death of his bluf,
big-hearted brother, Samuel L. Stephen
son, who served three terms in Congress
from Michigan. The decease of the lat
ter did not occur, however, until after
the Wisconsin brother had at last won
his long fight for the coveted Senate seat.
The brothers lived, respectively, in the
twin cities of Marinette, Wis, and Me-
nominee, Mich, only separated by the
Menominee river, which. during its
course, forms the boundary between the
upper peninsula of Michigan and Wiscon-
sin. 1t was long the ambition of the
Menomnee- Marinette pair of millionaires
to sit in the House of Representatives
and Senate together. Each of them put
UP a number of stiff fights for the hon
ors to which they aspired Every time
that Isaac ran he had the help of his
Michigan brothers walrus-sized ''wad,'
and vice versa. Each of the Stephen
sons got to the house of representatives
and the senates of their states, then ad-
vanced to the national House of Repre-
sentatives and finally in his old age the
Wisconsin brother reaches the United
States Senate

Same Got There.

The Michigan Stephenson took his Wis
consin brothers advice and got there
and as the Marinette man went out of the
House the Menomnee man came in, and
the Stephenson family continued in Con-
greSS for six more years making it's
continued tenure from 1881 to 1895. Sam
Stephenson made an excellent represen-
tative--of sturdy business sort-and
did good, hard work on the committee of
rivers and harbors. a place he had much
desired. During his term. in conjunction
with the late Senator Mcmillan. he gave
the committee an extensive great lake
trip. which produced large results in the
next river and harbor budget. 1t was
also during his term that the continuing
appropriation system was adopted for
the ST. Marys river improvements.
Finally Sam got up against copper
country political combination which re-
tired him at the close of the Fifty-third
Congress. He next appeared at Lansing
as a candidate for senator with the up
per peninsula support, and, when he
found he could not win, got a great deal
of pleasure out of throwing his votes to
his colleague. Senator Burrows. He tried
somewhat later TO get in line for the
Senate, but was not successful. He died
a few months ago, and was kindly re-
called by many members of the House
who had served with him.

1t Pays to Be Cheerful.

The spirit of cheerfulness is some
times the result of happy tempera-
ment whose nerves have never been
disturbed by loss, sickness or calamity.
Sometimes it is the abundance of youth
still finding a surplus of vigor after the
tolls of the day. Sometimes it is the
expression Of character which from
the reserves of it's own nature and ex-
perience is able to preserve a cheerful
disposition under even the most dis
couraging circumstances and face life
always with hope and good cheer.
Such a character is a strength and a
defense not only to him who has it,
but to all his associates and to all who
feel his influence. They are the watch
towers of humanity, whose lights
shine through the dark night Of human
struggle and whose word is an inspira-
ton of hope and encouragement.

ssBOOk of Mormon >,

The Book of Mormon has been
proved to be a literary plagiarism. be-
ing a free paraphrase Of romance
written by the Rev. Solomon Spalding
in 1916, the manuscript of which came
into the possession of Joseph Smith.
and he, sitting behind a curtain, die
tated it to Oliver Cowdery, who, seat
ed out of sight of the reader, wrote
the matter as it was given him. Smith
pretended that the book was discov-
cred to him by revelation and dug up
from the side Of a hill not far from
Palmyra, in the county Of Ontario, N.
7. The claim was made by Smith that
the writing on the plates was engraved
in reformed Egyptian" which hefwas
unable to read until magic spectacles,
which he called his Urim and Thum-
min, were given to him, enabling him
both to read and translate into Eng
lish. The spectacles and the metal
plates have disappeared, and the story
of the dictation makes tolerably clear
the manner in which the sBook of
Mormon had its origin.

So many false formulas and malicious
statements concerning his medicines
had been published through the con-
nivance of jealous competitors and dis
gruntled doctors, that DR.. Pierce deter
mined to completely disarm his assail-
ants by q full and frank statement of
their exact composition, verifying the
same under oath as complete and cor
rect. This he has done and to the
complete discontinue of those who had
assailed his good name as well as the
well-earned reputation of his world
famed medicines.
Not only does the wrapper Of every
bottle of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, the famous medicine for
weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious
ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever
located, have printed upon it, sa plain
English, full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing it, but a
small book has been compiled from
numerous standard medical works, of
all the different schools of practice,
containing very numerous extracts from
the writings of leading practitioners
of medicine, endorsing IN The strongest
possible terms, each and every ingred-
lent contained in DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines. One of these little books will be
mailed free to any, one sending address
on postal card or by letter, to DIR. R. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, and requesting
the same. From this booklet it will be
learned that DIR. Pierce's medicines con-
tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious
agents and that they are made from
native, medicinal roots of great value;
also that some of the most valuable in
gradients contained in DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription for weak, nervous,
over-worked, wrun-down," nervous and
debilitated women, were employed, long
years ago by the Indians for similar
ailments affecting their squaws. In
fact, one of the most valuable medic
inal plants entering into the compost
ton of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton was known to the Indians as
vSquaw-Weed." Our knowledge of the
uses of not a few of our most valuable
native, medicinal plants was gained
from the Indians.
AS made up by improved and exact
processes, and with the use of specially
designed chemical apparatus, the vFa-
vorite Prescription is most efficient
remedy for regulating all the womanly
functions, correcting displacements as
prolapsus, anteversion and retroversion,
overcoming painful periods, toning up
the nerves and bringing about perfect
state of health.
