Loaded,

A Wyoming judge has a sarcastic
humor which has made many culprits
squirm, and among the number was a
defendant in a cattle stealing case who
was trying to explain that it would
have been quite impossible for him to
have brought into town the beef he
was accused Of having stolen and
~butchered owing to the fact that his
two pack horses were heavily loaded
with other things.
One horse, he had told the Jury, was
packed with his fur overcoat, mining
Implements, etc.
"And what was on the other horse? =
inquired the Judge.
swell, there was a gallon of whis-
ky-there was a gallon Of whisky"-
The fustered defendant could think of
nothing else.
II knew a gallon of whisky was a
load for a man." said the Judge dryly,
"but I didn't know it was a load for a
orse."-Lippincott's.

A Common Cold.

We claim that if catching cold could pe
avoided some of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases would never be heard OF. A
cold often forms a culture bed for germs Of
infectious diseases. Consumption, pneu-
monia, diphtheria and scarlet fever, four Of
the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are Of
this class. The culture bed formed BY the
cold fayors the development of the germs Of
these diseases, that would not otherwise find
lodgment. There is little danger, however,
of any of these diseases being contracted
when a good expectorant cough medicine
Ike ChaInberlain's Cough Remedy is used.
1t cleans out these culture beds that favor
the development of the germs Of these dis
eases. That is why this remedy has proved
s, universally successful in preventing pneu-
monia. 1t not onlycures your cold quickly,
but minimizes the risk of contracting these
dangerous diseases. For sale by Prices

GIRLS CORPSE IN SACK
POLICE SEARCH FOR THOSE
GUILTY OF THE CRIME.
May Have Been Strangled Before
Body Was Dismembered-One
Portion of Body Missing

Detroit, Mich.-Shrunken by several
days immersion in the waters of Ecorse
creek, the dismembered body of Miss
Maybelle Millman, q years old, of Ann
Arbor, Mich, lies in the county morgue,
a pitiable exhibit of human brutality.
The state has charitably drawn a shroud
over the wasted human fragments SO
that curious spectators do not see that
a portion of the trunk of the unfor-
tunate girl is missing.
While determined men are dragging
Ecorse creek night and day in the hope
of discovering the remaining portion of
the girls body, the sReriff's office of
Wayne and Washtenaw counties and the
police of Ann Arbor and Detroit are
uniting in a desperate endeavor to solve
the mystery of Miss Millman's murder.
The county physician is inclined to
think the girl, who was 81 years old,
was strangled to death before her arms,
legs and head were cut off, the condi-
ton of the tongue and eyes indicating
strangulation.
The head and limbs were found sewed
in the same kind of a burlap bag as the
one containing the trunk. The sack was
lying under the bridge about ten yeards
up the stream from the place where the
first bag was found, evidence almost
disputable hat the body was thrown
from the bridge.

IS SHEDDING
PICKING oUTTURN DISAPPoINT
ING EXCEPT IN GEORGIA.
Estimates for a Yield Vary From rs
to 26 Per Cent.-Late Frost
May Increase Yield.

Memphis, Tenn.-The cotton plant
throughout the South is rapidly ape
preaching a state of maturity. Picking
will be general everywhere by September
Is, Notwithstanding the fact that the
plant was two to three weeks late
through the growing season. Incident
upon the hurried maturity caused by
the extreme neat and drouth of August,
shedding has been unusually severe and
hence reports of deterioration are uni
versal.
Except in Southern Georgia, where the
yield is good, the outturn of early pick
ings has been disappointing. In Texas
and Oklahoma it is variously estimated
that four to ten acres will be required
to produce a bale of cotton of 500 pounds
weight.
In many sections of Texas, where
rains fell two weeks ago and where
showers have continued since, the cotton
plant has been stimulated to renewed
growth and is setting forms.
Outside of sections in Georgia and the
-Carolinas, where the crop is promising,
the best estimates for a yield are about
rs per cent. of a full crop, and some are
as low as 25 per cent.

Texas, picking there will not be general

100000 SUFFER LOSS
SCORES OF LIVES LOST, HUN
DREDS OF CATTLE KILLED.
Mission School Cut OF Since Flood.
Pupils and Teachers Suffering
for Want Of Food.

City of Mexico.-Another terrible flood
has visited the Jamiltepec district, in
the state of Oaxava. Sugar plantations
and mills have been destroyed, hum
dreds of heads of cattle have been killed
and scores of farm laborers have lost
their lives in the waters.
The scene of this latest inundation is
in the southern part of the republic,
many miles from Monterey and Tamau-
lipas. The Jamiltepec district is one of
the richest on the Pacific coast, and it is
said that 10000 persons will suffer
loss.
The situation in the north is still
serious. Reports of a number of ma
rooned Americans have reached here.
The Presbyterian mission school at San
Juan has been cut off since the flood.
A party under the leadership of w. A.
Ross is to go to the rescue. The pupils
and teachers are suffering from want of
food. j. E. Goddard and his mother,
Stuart Ryan of Oklahoma, and Hugh
Cockerell, an American, reached Linares

pletely inundated.
They took refuge on a nearby hill,
making their escape with little more
than the clothes they wore. MI. God
dard, the last to leave the house, had to
swim to get to the hills.
The party was without food or shelter
for three days. The portion of the hill
above water was not more than 100 feet
square, and it was surrounded for a mile
in every direction by water many feet
deep.

Chicago.-Two letters threatening the
life of President Taft during his visit
to Chicago, now in the hands of Capt.
Porter, of the secret service, have stirred
up the latter and police officials of the
city, with the result that efforts will be
made to make the chief executive of the
nation the most guarded president that
ever come to Chicago. Capt. Porter was
inclined to belittle the threats, although
he began preparations Immediately to
prevent the possibility of an attack on
President Taft.
