Leads most intelligent people to use only
medicines Of known composition. There
fore it Is that On. Pierce's medicines, the
makers Of which print every Ingredient
entering into them upon the bottle wrap
pers and attest its correctness under oath,
are daily growing in favor. The COM
position Of Dr. Pierce's medicines is open
to every body, DR.. Pierce being DESTROYS
Of having the search light Of inveetiga-
ton turned fully upon his formulas, being
confident that the better the composition
of these medicines is known the more
will their great curative merits be recog-
nized Being wholly made of the active
medicinal principles extracted from ma
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with DIR. Pierce, and without the
use of a drop of alcohol, triple-re6ned and
chemically pure glycerine being used In
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers-the same as sworn to By
DR.. Pierce, and you will find that his
Golden Medical Discovery the great,
blood purifier, stomach tonic and bowel
regulator the medicine which, while not
recommended to cure consumption in its
advanced stages mo medicine will do that
yet does cure all those catarrhal condi-
tions of head and throat, weak stomach,
torpid liver and bronchial troubles, weak
lungs and apg-on-coughs, which, II neg
iected or badly treated lead up to and
finally terminate In consumption.
Take the Golden Medical Discovery
IN ttrns and it is not likely to disappofnt
you if only you give 1t thorough and
fair trial. Don't expect miracles. Il
won't do supernatural things. You must
exercise your patience and persevere in Its
use for reasonable length of time to get
its full benefits. The ingredients Of which
DR.. Pierce's medicines are composed have
the unqualified endorsement Of scores Of
medical leaders better than any amount
OF lay, or professional. testimonials.
They are not given away to be expert
mented with but are sold by all dealers In
medicines at reasonable prices.

Racial Elements In Wisconsin.

Wisconsin epitomizes the central west.
No other western state has such a di-
versity of racial elements. Illinois
alone, with its queer colony of Portu-
guese Professionals at Jacksonville, has
an element which Wisconsin has not.
None but Wisconsin has Bulgarians
and Flemings. 1t has an Indian popu-
lation Of over 5000. 1t is the greatest
Welsh, Cornish, Norwegian and Ger
man state 1t has Icelanders with
Minnesota, Bohemians with Iowa, and
French, Firms and Hollanders with
Michigan. The Oldest and only purely
Hungarian colony in America is on its
soil and the largest colony of Swiss.
1t has native white element as old
as the Knickerbockers and even Eng
llsh descended families who go back
$50 years on Wisconsin soil. Warden

An article under the heal Baseball
In Vienna in a newspaperFof that city
will be read with much Interest by
persons in this country lwho know
something about the national game.
1.-THE game has become so popular, "
says the writer, chat it Will soon be
rival of lawn tennis Mothers who
object to their daughters taking part
lin the violent exercise which tennis
demands will have no objection to the
new game on that account. Baseball
was originally, like cricket, mans
game, but in the eighties an English
man named Hill changed it so'that wo-
men might play. Then it became pops
ular in America, where amusementsa
are always arranged SO that women-
may take part in them. Since then
baseball has become almost the ma
tional game there The writer then
gives a long description as to how the
game has been improved in Vienna,
"where it is played both in the open
and indoors" According to the de-
scription, the game does not bear the
slightest resemblance to American
baseball.

MURDER AS A TRADE.
Head Hunting Once Regular Calling
In Patagonia.


In Patagonia.
st seems strange to live in q country
where you see only white men and
where man can go around in safety
after living down in Patagonia for al
most lifetime, where a bounty Of S.
was paid by the authorities for every
head brought in by the head hunters"
said J. J. Medlin, now of Laramie,
Wyo., but formerly of Patagonia.
1.-THE head hunters up to six years
ago went out at regular intervals to
hunt the TERRA del Fuegans, and when
they returned with the heads the boun-
y was paid out without any question.
"This tribe Of people are lower than
the dogs and had to be exterminated
for the safety of the more civilized
people. The bounty was taken of about
six years ago, and now there are no
head hunters. Some of the former
hunters still continue their slaughter,
but it is frowned on by the decent peo-
pie.
1.-THE ordinary tribes of natives are
gentle and as honest as the general run
Of people in South America.
''Some day there will be big rush
to TERRA del Fuego. or the Land of
Fire, as the country near the strait of
Magellan is called. There is plenty of
placer gold there and plenty of quartz.
Several parties have gone through the
interior, but have kept their finds Sc
cret.
Patagonia belongs partly to Chile
and partly to Argentina. The land is
cheap and is about one-hundredth as
good for grazing purposes as Wyoming
land is. There is lo title given to the
property, and setuatter sovereignty
holds good until so1he man comes along
and gives the chief official of the sec
ton bride, whens the squatter Is dis
possessed.
''The natives are not eannibals, as
has been reported, and probably never
were. They take only one wife, and at
the husbands death all the property
goes to the wife. A man wanting a
wife purchases her for $50 many horses
and so much property. No marriage
ceremony is performed, but the pur
chase Is more binding than the legal
ceremony In this country.
1.-THE punishment for injuring man
is much more severe than for outright
murder If a man liz convicted of
murder he is likely to- escape with a
year of penal servitude, but if in a
brawl he cuts and injures man the
chances are that he via hang for the
crime
"There is little crime, however. The
people are peaceable and follow hunt
ing and sheep raising to large ex-
tent always found the native tribes
friendly and hospitable and never had
any trouble during the time 1 lived in
the land" Denver Post.

Harry Slagle of Scott Arrested
on Charge of Murder.
Said to Have Killed Gus KirSch-
off, Night Operator.
CAUGHT IN WYOMING.
Depot Agent Had Several Thou
sand Dollars in Safe.
Letters Written by a Young
Girl Unravel the Mystery.

Tribune Kan. Aug. 30.-The sheriff
of Scott county passed through here
last evening with Harry Slagle, who
was arrested near Cheyenne, Wyo., by
q Missouri Pacific detective and the
sheriff. charged with the murder of
Gus Kirschoff on the 9TH of April. this
year Gus Kirschoff was the night OPP
orator at Scott, Kan. He was known
TO carry considerable money on his per-
son and in addition to this, had just
received something like $1,000 from an
estate. This money by most everyone,
was known to be in the depot safe.
About 10 o'clock on the evening in
appeared to be about the depot in
sight, although a train had departed
but few minutes before going east
and another reached Scott shortly af-
dead, shot three times through the
head, in the doorway of his office.
There was no money taken off his per-
son. nor out of the safe. No one knew
anything SO far as the authorities were
able to learn, of the killing. Scott coun-
ty and the Missouri Pacific Railroad
company have spent considerable mon
ey in investigation.
Since that time, it has developed that
Harry Slagle. who is one of the two
sons of a widow woman living in Scott,
had for many months carried one or
two revolvers, had on hand considerable
ammunition for these guns, read dime
novels and bloody stories. which were
his speciality. 1t also developed that
he was in love with farmers daugh-
ter north of Scott. She was about Is
and Slagle about the same age. Her
parents were very much opposed to
young Slagle. Shortly after the muir
der, the girl ran off and was found
later at Colby, Kan. Young Slagle was
at Colby also, working on a farm. The
girl was returned home with her father
and young Slogle went west and was
later located in Wyoming. At the time
of the murder, he was one of the sec
ton hands at Scott.
1t is said that the detective and
sheriff have a number of letters in their
possession that were written by the girl
to Slagle and that when Slagle was ar
rested, the officers did not tell him
what he was charged with, but when
asked by outsiders, he announced that
he was charged with murder.
Young Slagle's preliminary will be
held Saturday of this week, at Scott
His trial will be held in the early part
of October.
