perate men, one of whom is believed

the other entering the abdomen. the
shooting followed the robbery of the
Frisco railroad station agent, N. d.
Hildman, at Quapaw, I. T., at II

Quapaw station and, presenting re-
volvers, relieved the agent of $40

warning against making an outcry.

SCRUB WOMAN
GETS AWAY WITH Sf7s,000 FROM
SUB-TREASURY.
Mystery of Disappearance of Money
From Chicago Stronghouse
Cleared.

Chicago. April TO- The Evening
Journal says that the mystery sur
rounding the theft of $4,000 from
the United States sub-treasury here
has been cleared. The alleged thief is
said to be a negro scrub woman,
whom the secret service officers have
taken charge of and are endeavoring
to get from ner some trace of the
missing money. The clew was Sc
cured from the dislay of a $1,000
bill by a negro in a saloon. A search
warrant has been issued and the
secret service officers will search the
home of the washerwoman. But
they do not have apparently much
hope of success.

much to forward the success of
two administrations. We have no
doubt that Mr.. Root intends to re-
tire just as soon as he may. He has
had several important and trying
problems to solve and certain poll
cies, which ne wished to carry out
to their conclusion. When his work
is finished We shall see Mr.. Root
leaving the cabinet but it win not
be because he has spit with the adj
ministration, nor in a pet because
his presidential aspirations are frus-
trated. History will give Mr.. Root a
place no less exalted that that of the
presidents themselves.

has decided that the Isle Of Pines
was considered part OF the Cuban re-
public in the treaty Of Paris. Ever
since Cuban independence was rec

beautiful isle off the coast of Cuba
have been urging the home govern

have received serious consideration,
and their protests that they could Sc
cure no protection for themselves

all the best of the island, met with
sympathy from a considerable party
in the states Enemies of our form
of government throughout the world
and enemies of the administration in

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Sc
rious Consequences of Neg
Iect.

"Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, Doctor" remarked a sallow-
faced, sickly looking man, entering a
prominent physicians Office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down a couple of bottles, mixeo
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
shake well and follow directions and
resumed his seat.
"Such cases are frequent" replied the
doctor in answer to a question. "The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
Keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the uialarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
ess-s are prevalent. ~
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is 10 get into good condi-
tion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fre-
quent intervals during the s:ckly season.
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
four times a week will do all of this, be-
sides stimulating the digestion, improv.
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
euergy at the highest pitch.
Prickly Ash Bitters is known every
where as system tonic and bowel regu-
lator. 1t not only removes all traces Of
malarial poison from the system, but
tones up the vital organs, gives new
strength and vigor, makes the body
strong and the brain active.
