 There is now in the custody of the federal officials at the L. $. jail an extremely youthful burglar in the person of native boy named Johnson. not over nine years of age, proper disposition of whom is puzzling the brains of the examining magistrate. The little chap was caught red-handed from the robbery of the safe at Pol lard's fruit store last Saturday, it be- ing his second successful effort in that direction. It appears that Mr. Pollard had missed ten dollars from the safe the combination of which had been left open. the day before. and set a trap for the thief. by placing s3s of mark ed money in the safe which he left ih the same condition as the day before The boy was allowed easy access to the safe, and was caught with the money before he had time to get away with it. He readily acknowledged his guilt, showed how he did the job, which he says he did at the instance and on the advice of some of the other boys. He says that he and some other boys spent the first ten dollars in a certain place in town where they sell things which tempt the taste and ap- petite of the small boz, a statement the truth of which ought to be invest igated.

Visit Recalls Strange Duel.

A. t. Lawrence of st. Louis, inspec-
tor for the American Surety Company
of New York, has been spending sew
eral days in Springfield, Mo-, going
over battlefields In the vicinity, with
which he was quite familiar during the
civil war. Lawrence wore the blue dur
ing the war and participated in the
battle Of Springfield. He was with his
company in the old stockade on Camp
bell street, and he tells many interest
ing stories of incidents that occurred
during that battle.
I'VE wanted some one to go out from
the stockade," said Mr.. Lawrence, ito
do some accommodating. There was a
telegraph operator with US named
Briggs, and he was the first man to
volunteer. Briggs stole out from the
stockade and to within thirty yards Of
what was then known as the city GEM
etery, located in the vicinity of Camp
bell and State streets.
"a confederate scout was hidden be-
hind a tombstone and took a shot at
Briggs just as he ducked behind a tree.
1t was along toward evening, and the
two men exchanged possibly thirty
shots at each other in the duel in the
darkness that followed. About 1 o'clock
in the morning truce was agreed to by
the opposing forces in order to care for
the wounded on both sides.
We found the body of Briggs lying
at the foot Of the tree. A bullet from
the squirrel rife of the confederate
scout had penetrated mis- brain through
the eye. The strangest part Of it was
that the bullet never touched an eye
lash. The body OF the confederate was
found in the cemetery in sitting pos
ture. His back was against a tomb
stone, and he had one foot against an
other headstone, and was in the act
of pulling on his boot when a Union
bullet pierced his heart. His fingers
were still in the boot straps and he
appeared as if he had fallen asleep
while pulling on his boot, and was kill
ed while asleep

SPLENDID April Tonic.

This is known as "Blood-Cleaning
Time" especially among the Older
folks, who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood of
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing well in a bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov-
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
1t is said that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores,
pimples or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.

"Libe1er of the Press"

General Horace Porter in The Cen
fury relates the following anecdote:
General Meade had been pntiring in
his efforts during this eventful week.
He was General Grants senior by sew
en- years, was older than any of the
corps commanders, and was naturally
of an excitable temperament, and with
the continual annoyances to which he
was subjected he not infrequently be-
came quite irritable. He was greatly
disturbed at this time by some news
paper reports stating that on the second
night Of the battle of the Wilderness
he had advised a retreat across the
Rapidan; and in talking this matter
over with General Grant, his indigna-
ton became so great that his wrath
knew no bounds. He said that the ru-
NOR had been circulated throughout the
press, and would be believed by many
Of the people, and perhaps by the au-
thorities in Washington. Mr. Dana, the
Assistant Secretary of War, who was
still with the army, was present at the
interview, and he and General Grant
tried to console Meade by assurances
that the story would not be credited
and that they would give a broad con-
tradicition to it, Mr.. Dana at once
sent a dispatch to the Secretary of
War, abiding to the rumor, and say
ing: This Is entirely untrue. He has
not shown any weakness of the sort
since moving from Culpeper, nor once
intimated doubt as to the successful
issue Of the campaign"
The Secretary replied the next day
June 1O), saying: please say to Gen
eral Meade that the lying report al
luded to in your telegram was not even
for a moment believed by the President
or myself. We have the most perfect
confidence in him. He could not wish
a more exalted estimation Of his abil-
ity, his firmness, and every quality of a
commanding general than is entertained
for him." The newspaper correspond
ent who had been the author of this
SANDER was seized and placed on a
horse, with large placards hung upon
his breast and back bearing the in
scription, ''Libeler of the Press and
drummed out of camp. There had new
er been a moment when Meade had
not been in favor of bold and vigorous
advances, and he would have been the
last man to counsel retreat.

COLORADO LEADS IN DEER.
They Outnumber the Cattle, Owing
to Rigid Game Law,


to Rigid Game Law.
Colorado has more wild deer now
than any other State III the Union
There are as many wild deer in this
State as cattle. The laws protecting
them from the reckless and greedy STAY
ers have made a great increase in their
number and hunters who have visited
their haunts this season make the most
enthusiastic reports.
w. S. Kincaid, general superintend,
cnt of the fish hatcheres, killed one of
the biggest bucks ever brought to Den
yer. The animal weighed 275 pounds.
There are eight points on one of its
horns and seven points on the other.
c. L. McFadden, the taxldermist who
mounted the head said it was the
largest he ever saw.
II. II. Zeitz, who just arrived from a
hunting trip, said he saw over 200
bucks in the mountains about seventy
five miles northeast of Newcastle. He
went past the Sleepy Cat mountains. In
Rio Blanco. Routt and Garfield coun-
ties the hunters say they never saw so
many deer before. In 1899, when the
body of the game law went into effect,
the deer were scarce because they had
not been protected. Under the first law
the open season lasted nearly three
months and this was not protection
enough. But in 1903 an amendment
was made shortening the open season
to sixteen days, as it stands to-day. A
hunter is allowed to kill only one deer
and that must be buck with horns
and at least one year old.
There is no open season at all on elk
and they are increasing rapidly in num-
bers too.-Denver Times.
