A SAD MEMENT0.
one OF the Many Touching stories OA
Soldier Life in the Late
War.

Among the many touching stories
arising from the late war, the following
is told by the New York Commercial
Advertiser:
A man of the Thirty-third Michigan
was loaded down with baggage, and
over his shoulder he carried two guns,
tied together with Irvine. He was
smoking a cigar, and kept up con-
slant stream of bantering remarks in a
reckless way.
There's our train, boys" he said, as
his company crossed the platform and
cIambered down the sandy slope toward
the siding. Don't you see the sign?
Improved Stable Cars Well, thank
goodness, We're going the other way
this time"
When the men halted beside the cars
bystander said affably to this man;
You've got more than your share OF
baggage"
Il don't know about that" answered
he Michigan soldier, sOberly.
"Where did you get the extra gun?"
"Its a dead mans gun. 1t belonged
to man who was killed down in Cuba"
"And you are taking it home, are
you?'
"Yes, I'm taking it to his folks"
The stranger seemed inclined to get
more of the story, but the soldier turned
his head away, so that no one could see
his face.
st belonged to my brother" he said.

A TREASURY THIEF.
Recent Reminders of a Robbery I'm
Washington Twenty
Years Ago.

The Keck smuggling case, lately de-
cided in favor of the defendant by the
supreme court of the United States
presents a phase that recalls cele
brated robbery of the treasury in Wash.
ington nearly 20 years ago. In the
Keck case the diamonds are in the pos
session of the government. As Keek
has been acquitted OF the offense Of
smuggling by the highest federal court,
some good lawyers who heard the de-
cision hold he can recover possession Of
the jewelry. The case in one phasere-
sembling this was the theft by treas
ury employe in Washington of pack
age of currency containing $4,000 in
$500 bills. The package was abstracted
at the noon hour, when the clerks are
allowed a time TO leave the building for
luncheon. The thief carried it 10 q
nearby saloon and hid it, the keeper
of the place being supposed TO standin
with him. The loss, of course, was soon
discovered and everybody who could
have taken the package Swallowed. Sus-
picion quickly settled on certain en-
ploye, who was known to freuqent the
saloon in question
The large size of the bills gave the
-conspirators trouble. Finally they sent
one of their number to Saratoga 10 play
the races with a part of the money.
The rest-S12, O0O-they deposited in
bank in Alexandria, Va, eight miles
down the river. The man who went
to Saratoga was of the "tin-horn" gam
bling class. He lost his head and
played the races so badly. putting upa
$500 bill every time, that the detee-
tives soon took him in. Arrests were
made, indictments found, but nobody
was convicted, for the simple reason
that the government could not prove
that the money found on. the 'tin horn
was part of the identical money that
was stolen from the treasury. So, like
Keck, they went free. The money in
the Alexandria bank remained there
several years until finally the late
George Bliss, of New York, came 10
Washington in 1852 as one of the gov
ernmentcounsel in the star route cases
He was employed to recover this money
His contention was Simple. The gov
eminent could not prove its title to
the money. 1t did not belong to the
bank; it must belong to somebody
therefore, it belonged to the person VINO
had deposited it. How much that per
somgot Of it is not known, but Bliss was
a high-priced lawyer.-Chicago Post

WILD MAN IN THE WOODS.
A Most Startling Discovery Is Made
by Two Hunters In the Wilds
of Michigan.

Adolph Meiser and John Slattery,
two young men from Crystal Falls,
Mich, who were hunting partridges
On the headwaters of the Deer river
about IA miles from that city, met
what they assert was wild man. His
hair was long and shaggy and long
whiskers nearly covered his face, show
ing that they had been growing for
some time The hunters got within &c
Feet of the man before they saw him
or he them, and all were surprised
when the stranger snarled at them.
Meiser attempted to talk to him, but
all the response he could get was:
Public, public, public" When Slattery
and Meiser moved forward the stranger
gave terrible yell and darted into the
bushes. He ran like a deer, bounding
over the windfalls and stumps.
The strange man was large, but had
become emaciated from exposure and
hunger. The clothes he had on were
in shreds exposing his body to view. He
carried part of gun barrel and tent
pole in his hands and when found was
eating the carcass of a'dead skunk.
The Crystal Falls men hurried to
town and reported the discovery, and
posse was organized to hunt for the
man. 1t is thought that the man is
some unfortunate hunter who has been
lost in the woods and become insane
from fright. The territory where the
man was seen is a large stretch OF
woods, and person might roam there
for months without meeting anyone.
The posse will stay out until they find
the man.

HORSE ON GRAVE
Friends of Pittsburg Phil See Re-
markable Memorial From His
Brother Unveiled

One of the strangest decorations
of a tomb in the history of Pittsburg
was unveiled there last week when
the friends and relatives of Pitts
burg Phil, the late noted turf
plunger, met to dedicate life-size
floral horse mounted on the mauso-
leum of Phil in Uniondale cemetery.
The order for this horse was placed
with a Pittsburg firm by William
Smith, a brother of the plunger.
One of the specifications was that
the florist should unse not less
than 5000 white carnations in build
ing the animal, as that flower was
the favorite of the turf plunger
The mausoleum on which the
horse stands is in itself novel, as
Phil, in his days of great prosperity,
superintendent its construction him
self, and he paid $4,000 for it. 1t
is a massive affair of stone and gran
lite. The plunger always feared
grave robbers.

A ST3IPLE REMEDY
FOR DYSPEPSIA
Make it mp for Yourself from a
Specialists Formula.

We publish below the formula of
an expert stomach specialist, whose
fee for diagnosis and prescription is
$500.
Anyone is free TO use this formula
and make the medicine up for him
self at home. 1t is said to be marvel
ously curative in severe cases of in
digestion and dyspepsia, especially
where there is an excess of gas on
the stomach. On the other hand, it is
free from harmful ingredients and
will not injure the most delicate lis
sues. While immediate relief is to be
expected, it is recommended that the
treatment be continued for three
weeks in order to guarantee a COM
plete cure.
Get from your druggist p OF. So
dunn phosphate, OF. essence seal
mint. Take an s ounce " pint)
bottle with a good cork, fill it nearly
full of hot water; then put the u OF.
sodium phosphate in and add p tea
spoonful of good baking soda. Let
stand until cool, and add / OF. es-
sence sealmint, and shake well. Take
GTo teaspoo2fuls before each meal.
1t is said that nearly 80 per cent.
OF all indigestion and dyspepsia is
due to fermentation of food in the
stomach. This prescription is de-
signed to counteract that, to stimu-
late the digestive secretions, and to
regulate the movements of the bow
els. Certainly, unless it possessed
remarkable virtue it would have been
impossible for the originator of it to
have won such high reputation in
MS profession, for he uses it in nine
tenths of the cases that come before
him.
